The next day, in the evening.

After a day and night, the Konoha team led by Orochimaru arrived in the hinterland of the Iron Country and stopped by a small river to rest.

On the one hand, it is to recharge her energy for the big battle that follows, and on the other hand, she needs to confirm the location of Tsunade to prevent her from passing by the rescue team.

“…… Tsunade-sama is surrounding the village of the samurai and fighting the enemy. ”

Hinata Hinata marked on the map, "According to the information provided by the samurai, their location is about two hours away from us. ”

As a neutral country in the ninja world, Iron Country does not participate in ninja disputes, but it is impossible to stay out of it completely.

Just like this time, they were worried that Tsunade, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, would really die in the Land of Iron, and they didn't dare to shelter her openly, so they could only play a game of sidekicks, and with the help of their understanding of the country's terrain, they pointed out a way for Tsunade to escape, and revealed this information to Konoha.

Iron Country General Mifune, as the leader of the samurai, his first impression is that he is stubborn, but he can lead the Iron Country to survive in the gap between the great powers, and it is also his own sleekness.

And after listening to Hinata's report, Orochimaru's expression was a little playful,

"The S-class rebel ninja Kakudu of Taki Ninja Village, and the scorpion of the rebellious ninja of Sand Ninja Village......"

He had heard about these two men from the Lamp God, and he was very impressed, but it was not because of their strength or achievements.

The 'art of resentment of the earth' of Taki Ninja Village, and the 'art of human puppet' of Sand Ninja Village.

The horns and the red sand scorpion, one by replacing the heart, and the other by puppeting the body, have achieved longevity in a certain sense.

Although it is different from the path he chose, even so, it is very informative.

Orochimaru couldn't wait for the two of them to lie on the lab bed and confide in the experience and knowledge they had accumulated in their minds.

That being said, Tsunade is in a bit of a precarious position right now.

Yunyin Village didn't mention it for the time being, they had no killing intent towards Tsunade, but these two S-level rebels who were attracted by the black market bounty in Yanyin Village had no scruples, and their strength was beyond his previous imagination.

Tsunade has been able to hold on until now, I'm afraid it's also because of the special physique of these two people.

Only the heart is bloody, and the rest of the body has been replaced with black threads.

Not to mention the human puppet, except for a layer of human skin on the outside, there is only a chakra core inside.

But both of them are experienced and powerful ninjas, and the renegade ninja horns in Taki Shinobi Village are all old people who survived the era of the original Hokage, and Tsunade's 'hemophobia' may not be able to hide it for long.

As he was groaning, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose, and the Konoha ninja present hurriedly got up and touched the weapon on his waist.

Orochimaru stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the people in the team not to panic, and the white smoke dispersed, and a gray-backed pit viper dragged its body, swam to Orochimaru's feet, and respectfully spit out a delicate box.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and he opened the box to take a look at it, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Kakashi, Hinata Hinata, you guys immediately take a ninja squad and give this box to Tsunade."

Orochimaru handed the box to Kakashi, along with a sleeveless blouse, "This is Tsunade's clothing, I remember you have canine psychic beasts that you can use to track her whereabouts." ”

Kakashi took the garment, his eyes changing slightly.

In terms of style and material, this top is less like an outerwear and more like a corset.

How could Orochimaru-sama have such a private thing?

It was a little out of place, but Kakashi couldn't help but be a little cranky.

Orochimaru looked around, noticed the strange expressions of everyone, and explained, "This is a collection contributed by Jiraiya. ”

The people in the team immediately showed a look of understanding.

"Don't make a fuss, let's go."

"Yes!"

Whew...... After a burst of wind, Kakashi's team disappeared into the forest.

"Guys, hurry up and rest."

Orochimaru's eyes were cold, and the atmosphere in the team that had just risen took a sharp turn.

"They are the postmen and pathfinders of this operation, and the work of the battle is entrusted to us, and they lose their lives carelessly."

"Yes!"

The remaining four immediately put away their thoughts on talking and laughing, leaned against the big tree, and began to close their eyes and recuperate.

The ninjas present are all experienced shinobi, so they naturally know the priorities, gossip about Jiraiya and Tsunade-sama, and then return to Konoha and talk about it at the wine table.

Orochimaru stood on the treetops, looking in the direction Kakashi had left.

Optimistically, Tsunade may be able to avoid hemophobia for the time being with this special beautiful children's glasses.

In this way, the operation will be much easier this time, whether it is to save Tsunade's life or his plan later.

……

Bang!

A punch slammed into the tree, twisting and collapsing the thick tree, sending sawdust flying.

Tsunade grimaced, "Red Sand Scorpion, this damn bastard!

”

Leaning against another big tree, Kato Shizune's face was pale, vomiting a pool of poisonous blood, and his voice was weak,

"Tsunade-sama, I'm dragging you down."

Tsunade turned his head sideways, not looking at Shizune, who was stained with bright red, but glared at him, his expression a mixture of anger and timidity.

Scorpion and Horn, whose bodies have been modified and are different from ordinary people, are the enemies she is most willing to face now, and they can exert their combat power without any scruples.

But mute doesn't.

Over the years, she has only cared about taking care of herself, and her strength has not made much progress, and she can't go through a few rounds in front of the strong.

Especially the Red Sand Scorpion, compared to Chiyo in Sand Hidden Village, he is a few points better in terms of toxins and puppet manipulation.

Now the silence is a very complex chronic poison, although it has been suppressed for the time being, it is impossible to carry out rescue under such conditions.

Tsunade turned his head and looked at the bright red on Shizu's body, trying to face it, but the scene of Kato's death was rolling in his mind, and his body trembled, unable to help himself.

Do you want to watch your relatives and friends die like last time, but you can't do anything about it?

"Hehehe......"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the treetops.

Kakuto jumped down with the red sand scorpion in the scarlet amber, looking at Tsunade with a playful look,

"It's unbelievable that Princess Tsunade of Konoha, the best medical ninja of all time, is now a blood-scared waste."

In the face of such ridicule, Tsunade was unusual, her eyes widened, she didn't say a word, and she was directly stunned in place.

Because in front of her, on the body of Jiaodu and Scarlet Amber, it was stained with blood, like a layer of paint, bright red and eye-catching.

"130 million taels of heads, it turns out that it is so easy to get."

Kakuto let out a sigh of emotion, as a bounty hunter on the black market, he knew better than any other ninja how long it would take and how much effort it would take to accumulate this money according to regular tasks.

"Feelings can be left for later, be careful of long nights and dreams." In the scarlet amber, the scorpion reminded.

"I don't need you to say this."

The horns have already been sealed, and as soon as they make a move, they will do it with all their might.

His back bulged, and a masked black-bodied monster burst out and attacked Tsunade.

Tsunade just froze in place, seemingly in such a state of great fear that he even forgot to dodge.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a tentacle burst out of the wind from the oblique thorn and slapped the black-body monster aside.
