Chapter 62 Jiraiya
When the wounded were sent to Konoha's First People's Hospital, the only remaining conscious ninja reported the situation on the battlefield to Tsunade.
Tsunade could only comfort them with words and administer medicine to suppress the venom of the salamander, temporarily protecting the lives of the wounded.
Then they took the blood samples containing the toxin to the laboratory for research.
But the poison of the salamander is not that simple. Even Hanzo himself would be poisoned by the poisonous mist.
It will take Tsunade a lot of time to develop an antidote, and for now she can only rely on other drugs to keep these ninjas alive.
Let their injuries not get worse.
While Tsunade was busy and exhausted, the Hatake family was still peaceful.
The news of the defeat had not yet spread.
Chuan Feng, Shuo Mao, and Dai Zheng were drinking tea together.
Nayuki held Kakashi in her arms and listened.
The ghost mastiff was still a responsible father and began to teach the white cub how to get along with humans.
Rope Tree and Watergate also took a rare break and had fun playing with the two dogs.
Regardless of their abilities, at the age of teenagers, they still have the innocence of children.
"We're leaving tomorrow."
Sakumo said this to Nayuki while drinking his tea.
"Your things have been packed."
Nayuki looked down at Kakashi and said, “You will be the only one accompanying your mother in the days to come.”
"I don't know if there is any fighting on the front line now."
Kawanaka was still trying to figure out the situation on the front line, not knowing that Orochimaru's patience had run out and he had now been defeated.
"Maybe we have already reached the heart of the Rain Country."
Dai maintained an optimistic attitude and had a smile on his face while speaking.
The last war made him underestimate the strength of the Rain Ninja.
"Haha, that couldn't be better."
Sakumo laughed and echoed his good friend's words.
"We still..."
Chuan Feng hadn't yet uttered the words "Don't be too optimistic."
The butler and Orochimaru have arrived at the training hall.
"Kawakaze-kun."
Orochimaru called out to Kawakaze, Sakumo, and Dai and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Orochimaru-kun, why are you back?"
Chuan Feng already had a bad feeling in his heart, winning a battle wouldn't be that easy.
"Heh~ I only brought eleven people back to the village."
Orochimaru walked to Kawakaze with a self-deprecating smile, and Nayuki stood up to give her her seat.
This is her respect for her guests.
"Thank you."
Orochimaru even thanked him, and his condition had improved a lot by then.
At least the snake pupils regained some of their luster.
"how so."
Sakumo's expression suddenly changed and his tone sounded urgent.
Chuan Feng still remembered to pour tea for Orochimaru, so nothing he said now would help.
He guessed that it must have been Hanzo who took action personally, otherwise, with Orochimaru's ability, even if he was defeated, he would not have brought only eleven people back to the village.
Dai had a solemn expression and didn't say a word, waiting for Orochimaru to continue.
Looking at Kawai Kaede, Orochimaru saw the concern in Kawai Kaede's eyes. He really regarded him as a friend.
After taking a sip of tea, he spoke slowly.
"The day after receiving the supplies, I led a large force to the heart of the Rain Country."
"I had a battle with the Rain Ninjas brought by Hanzo of the Salamander."
"A miserable defeat. His summoned beast was too strong. It blew a toxic mist and killed and wounded most of us."
Orochimaru explained the battle situation clearly in just three sentences.
"Half of the power of Salamander Hanzo lies in his summoned beast, which is especially powerful on the battlefield."
Chuan Feng evaluated Hanzo based on the original work. If there was no Salamander, Hanzo would probably have just reached the level of Kage.
"What Chuan Fengjun said is true."
Orochimaru also agreed with Kawakaze's opinion, but the summoning beasts were also part of Hanzo's strength, and this was a fact that could not be denied.
"So what are the plans for the next three generations?"
Sakumo's IQ was online at this time, and he knew that Orochimaru must have been to the Hokage Building before coming to his house.
"The teacher didn't give me a clear answer."
"But this battle must be fought. It's just a matter of time."
Orochimaru still knew his teacher very well, no matter if he was weak now or not.
If he doesn't fight back after this defeat, his reputation in Konoha will plummet.
"Get ready. I have a feeling this battle won't take too long."
Chuan Feng also felt that the Third Generation would send people to fight as soon as possible, whether for the sake of his own face or to satisfy the ambitions of the Daimyo Prefecture's fighting faction.
"I will avenge everyone."
Although Dai has become a father, he is still that passionate young man.
......
Everyone continued to talk about the heavy topic of war, and even Nawaki and Minato came over to stand and listen.
In the evening, Orochimaru was invited by Kawakaze to have dinner with him, and Tsunade also appeared at the Hatake family, looking exhausted.
The only way to relieve worries is the fragrance of sauce.
That night, Orochimaru was drunk.
Only after Orochimaru was settled did Kawakaze and Tsunade have some time alone.
It turns out that neither of them was drunk.
"I'm afraid you will also have to go to the battlefield this time."
Under the moonlight, Kawafeng looked at Tsunade, his eyes full of tenderness.
There are also fruits and yogurt on the stone table in the martial arts hall.
"I should have gone. At least I could have saved a few more people."
Tsunade still had a tired look on her face, Hanzo's poison was causing her a lot of trouble.
"I believe you can."
Chuan Feng put his arm around Tsunade's shoulders and let her lean on him.
"The teacher is also responsible for this defeat. He is indeed old."
"When the war is over, I think it's time for him to unload his burden."
This was the first time Tsunade revealed her ambitions in front of Kawakaze.
Chuan Feng didn't think that his PUA method was effective, this was Tsunade's own idea.
"I will always have your back."
"Ah."
Tsunade whispered in response, closing her eyes and enjoying the warm feeling of the man beside her.
The two of them didn't say anything else and just leaned against each other until late at night.
The next morning.
The Sandai once again called a meeting of all the village's jonin.
It was still the Operations Department meeting room.
This time, the three generations arrived early and waited for everyone to arrive.
First, it tells the story of Orochimaru's disastrous defeat.
Orochimaru in the audience was being watched by everyone, but he remained calm.
He doesn't take everyone's attention to heart.
Then the third generation announced the battle plan for another expedition.
Tsunade and Orochimaru are the main forces, with Jiraiya as the auxiliary.
It has been several months since Jiraiya returned to Konoha, and he did not go to join Orochimaru when he was in town.
Once the daimyo's supplies are dispatched, the main force will head towards the border of the Rain Country.
The meeting was brief and efficient. After arranging the combat missions, the third generation left with two consultants.
The entire conference room was filled with discussions.
"The reputation of the Salamander Hanzo is indeed well-deserved."
"Orochimaru is nothing special."
"I will definitely become famous this time."
......
Many comments reached the ears of Chuan Feng and his group.
Kawakaze and Orochimaru smiled at each other, and then left the meeting room.
The outcome of a war cannot be determined by verbal discussions.
"Hello Jiraiya, I'm Hatake Kaede."
Chuan Feng greeted Jiraiya who came out with him very generously. He had a good impression of the lecherous sage.
After all, apart from being lustful, he has no other shortcomings. He is kind, reliable and powerful.
Without Tsunade, he can help Jiraiya find an iron hand, aluminum hand, or even a titanium alloy hand.
