Chapter 78: Chapter 78, Internal Discussion.
Land of Hot Water.
Inside an inn, Orochimaru and Raijin shared a room, Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen each had their own room.
Now everyone was gathered in Sarutobi Hiruzen's room.
Holding a cup of steaming tea, Raijin asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Teacher, what should we do next? Should we infiltrate directly, or try to lure Muramasa out?"
Basically, there are only these two methods for this kind of mission. It's simple, not much technical content needen, but the fault tolerance rate is a bit low, it's quite life-wasting.
"Either way."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his brow and said to Raijin.
"So where is the location of the Purple Lightning organization branch in the Land of Hot Water?"
Orochimaru asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What makes you think I know where their branch is?"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and asked Orochimaru back.
"You don't know?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils dilated slightly, he really didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to say such a thing.
"Didn't Kumogakure Village give the relevant information?"
Tsunade blinked and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Do you guys think Kumogakure would give detailed information to Konohagakure?"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the teacup in his hand on the table and asked Tsunade back.
"Is our target just the ninja Muramasa, or the organization behind Muramasa?"
Raijin interrupted this meaningless conversation and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Our target is Muramasa, we will use Muramasa to exchange for rewards."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Raijin.
"So, we are in competition with other hidden villages?"
Raijin continued to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen upon hearing this.
"You can understand it that way."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
"So what do you think we should do next?"
Upon hearing this, Raijin nodded and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What do you think we should do?"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Raijin with interest.
"I think Muramasa should know that Kumogakure issuing missions to the other four major hidden villages to exterminate the Purple Lightning branch in the Land of Hot Water."
Raijin really didn't expect that it was only the second mission, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was ready to let this team carry out the mission independently.
But since Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to do this, then Raijin also started to think.
Whether Kumogakure Village knows the location of the Purple Lightning branch in the Land of Hot Water or not, it doesn't matter.
After all, the reality is that Kumogakure Village has not provided any relevant information, only issued a task to assassinate Muramasa.
But who is Muramasa? The leader of the Land of Hot Water's Purple Lightning organization, such a person, is bound to gather more than a few Jonin around him.
To get rid of Muramasa, the experts around him are also a force that cannot be ignored.
After all, they are a group of experts who have either experienced the first Ninja World War or have been fighting in the ninja world for many years.
Whether it's the former or the latter, their strength is not to be underestimated.
Moreover, because there is only one Muramasa, there is basically no possibility of cooperation between another village.
So, what Kumogakure wants is not just to borrow the power of large hidden villages like Konohagakure to get rid of Muramasa, to alleviate Kumogakure's pressure against Purple Lightning.
They also want to involve the energy of large hidden villages like Konohagakure here, preferably, to let the elite squads sent by large hidden villages like Konohagakure lose a few here.
As expected of Raikage, who always shows people with recklessness, making everyone in the ninja world think that his brain is full of muscles, but he can actually come up with such a comprehensive strategy.
"What would Muramasa do if he knew we were coming for him?"
Orochimaru, with one hand supporting his chin, was also thinking about this question.
"I think, what Muramasa would do is not important, what's important is what we would do."
Tsunade said softly with a slight frown, Tsunade, who could hold up the entire Konohagakure in the future, was not just a simple gambler even when she was young.
After all, she is a child who has been with Senju Tobirama for many years, plus Senju Tobirama's teaching by words and deeds over the years.
Now, Tsunade has a bit of wisdom in her.
"What would we do? We don't know where the Purple Lightning organization is, let alone where Muramasa is, but we do know what Muramasa's goal is."
Raijin said to Tsunade in response to her words.
"Muramasa's goal is to support the Purple Lightning organization? No, we are coming for Muramasa, Muramasa knows this very well, if he gives up everything in the Land of Hot Water and goes to the Land of Moon for support, the only result is to lead us to the Land of Moon, which is meaningless."
Orochimaru tentatively said, but after saying it, he realized that it was wrong and quickly changed his words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, looked at the three people in front of him who were discussing passionately, and a hint of gratification appeared in the corner of his eyes.
The team was missing Jiraiya, although it was a lot less lively, but it had to be said that the efficiency really improved.
At least, without a guy who always jumps up and down to interrupt, everyone's every word is no longer nonsense.
But whether it's Jiraiya or Raijin, or Tsunade and Orochimaru, these four people together are a complete team.
Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly knew one thing, in this team, if there is no Raijin, then, with Orochimaru and Tsunade's character, they will not bother Jiraiya too much.
Because no matter how you say it, Jiraiya is weak, this is a fact that currently exists without any dispute.
But with the addition of Raijin, the atmosphere of the squad changed.
In this squad, whether it's Orochimaru, who comes from an ordinary background but has extraordinary talent, or Tsunade, who comes from a prestigious family and has strong abilities, neither of them can compare to Raijin.
Raijin, with his own strength, completely suppressed the brilliance of Tsunade and Orochimaru.
And Raijin is a very gentle person, his attitude towards Orochimaru and Jiraiya is the same.
This also made Orochimaru and Tsunade willing to face Jiraiya, making the atmosphere of the entire squad harmonious.
Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen truly admires his teacher's vision.
From the founding of Konohagakure to the present, Sarutobi Hiruzen has seen many Uchihas, but there really isn't one Uchihawho is a gentle and friendly like Raijin,.
Even all the children of the ninja clan have a bit of pride, but it has never appeared on Raijin.
And it's because of Jiraiya's unique traits that the atmosphere of the entire squad has become lively.
Such an atmosphere will unconsciously change every member of the squad.
This is what we call a bond.
These four children, perhaps they are still budding leaves.
But this leaf of mine that has already drifted to mid-air, will willingly merge into the fire, providing warmth while illuminating their way forward.
