It was quiet in the camp. There were more than two thousand ninjas here, but they didn't make any sound at this time. Even their breathing seemed to be deliberately suppressed.
What caused this phenomenon was the news coming from another camp and another battlefield. Danzo led the ninja army to raid the Suna Ninja camp two days ago, and fought with the original frontline team of Sunagakure Village and the troops led by Ebizo. Support the team to start the battle.
Konoha's ninja legions were fought by the Sand Ninjas and were unable to retreat. At the same time, on the other side, during the war negotiations between the two countries, Chiyo agreed to the war compensation demanded by Hanzo.
After the short war with the Rain Ninja led by Hanzo ended, Chiyo led thousands of Sand Ninja to return for reinforcements. The team led by Danzo encountered front and rear attacks. There is no doubt that in just one day, the Konoha Ninja Army was defeated.
But if there is only one defeat, even an extremely serious defeat, it will not overly affect the camp where Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are currently stationed and commanded.
The reason for the silence in this camp is... When the Konoha ninja army led by Danzo was defeated, in order to allow other ninjas to retreat, a large number of Konoha ninjas who gave up their surnames left behind.
So far, the remnants of the army led by Danzo have retreated, but there has been no news from those ninjas who stayed behind.
"You guessed it right."
Jiraiya, who was guarding the communication class, looked at Orochimaru, who was also waiting for news, and said in a complicated tone.
Orochimaru could not maintain his previous calmness. He frowned and pursed his lips tightly. He did not respond to Jiraiya immediately. Instead, after a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"The Thousand Hands...perhaps they are the only ones who have such a fierce and sincere love for the village, and are willing to sacrifice for it."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Jiraiya couldn't help but nodded. Konoha and even every ninja village have ninjas who are not afraid of death and are willing to sacrifice for the village, but which ninja clan will take this concept? As the belief of the whole clan and implemented...
There is only the Senju clan.
Even if the Senju clan was dismissed, even if the Senju surname was taken back, and they no longer had the surname "Senju", their love for the village and their willingness to sacrifice for the village at any time were not taken away.
It's just... too many. In this battle, almost all the members of the Thousand Hands Clan who were demobilized and their descendants with fighting strength died in this battle.
Even though the final information has not been returned yet, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru know that they will not be able to come back.
Jiraiya raised his head, looked at the small studio in the camp that had not been built for a long time, and said, "Who is going to check on Tsunade's condition?"
Although he said this, he had put his hands on his knees and was about to stand up. Jiraiya knew that he should not touch Tsunade at this time, because with Tsunade's character, there is a high probability that she will anger others.
But... someone has to go check on the situation. Anyway, Jiraiya felt that he was used to Tsunade's fists. Even if he was seriously injured again, so what?
"I'll go."
At this moment, a hoarse voice that was also a bit hoarse, but a hoarse voice unique to boys during the voice-changing period. Naoki, who was wearing a tights, did not have the stupidity of the passionate idiot before, and was equally dignified. He said:
"After all, she is my sister, and this is... a family matter."
Looking at the disciple who suddenly gained a bit of mature temperament, Orochimaru was in a daze. For a moment, he didn't know whether to agree or object to his disciple's decision.
"Aren't you just kidding?! The last thing Tsunade wants to hear right now is to mention the clan's existence again."
Jiraiya grabbed Naoki who was about to walk over there. Just as Naoki was about to say something, a little yellow-haired man said in surprise: "Teacher, Tatsuma..."
"Tatsuma? What's wrong with Tatsuma?"
Jiraiya hurriedly looked at where Tatsuma was just now, but there was no one there. He panicked and looked at the poison distribution room, only to see that Tatsuma had reached out and opened the door.
"Gulu~"
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Naoki, and Minato all swallowed involuntarily. It was definitely too late to stop Tatsuma. I hope Tatsuma's body could resist.
In the poison dispensing room, Tsunade sat in front of the workbench, with no emotion at all on her face, as if she was doing the most boring thing on the most boring day, calm... I should say numb, as numb as... Assembly line workers.
"Click~"
Tatsuma walked into the poison distribution room and closed the door gently. A slight sound seemed to wake Tsunade up. She turned around and saw Tatsuma and said, "What did you do in here?"
"Teacher, you haven't arranged any work for me today, and there are no wounded or sick people in the camp recently. Let me ask if there is anything I can do?"
Tatsuma also had a calm face, as if he hadn't heard anything today. His calmness was beyond Tsunade's expectations. The corners of Tsunade's mouth and jaw twitched unnaturally a few times, and she also clenched her teeth and did not immediately answer.
But after a while, Tsunade seemed to suppress the unwarranted emotions, first exhaled, and then said: "Let's prepare all the poisons we studied before."
"good."
Chenma didn't say any more words. He took out the mortar, beaker, measuring cup, test tube and other tools from the tool cabinet. He also took out various raw materials from the material cabinet and started material processing.
Tsunade took a look at the materials Tatsuma was processing, and then stood up and took out some more sophisticated equipment from his tool cabinet. After Tatsuma processed the raw materials, he handed them over to Tsunade, who then purified and extracted them.
Outside the poison dispensing room, Jiraiya and the others were waiting anxiously, waiting for the sound of smashing coming from the poison dispensing room, or for seeing the wall shatter and Tatsuma's figure flying out, but...it wasn't until noon that Tatsuma Appear.
And he wasn't beaten out or thrown out, but he opened the door and walked out without any injuries on his body.
"Tatsuma?! Are you okay?"
Jiraiya quickly came to Tatsuma's side, and kept squeezing Tatsuma's shoulders and arms with his big hands. Tatsuma struggled for a while and said, "I was fine at first, but you almost pinched me and caused internal injuries."
Hearing that Tatsuma was still in the mood to tease, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What are you doing in there? How is Tsunade...?"
"Working, dispensing drugs, teacher, she has nothing to do, but I have to go get food quickly, the teacher is still waiting."
Tatsuma didn't say much and walked towards the logistics. Jiraiya was doubtful and wandered in front of the poison distribution room, wanting to see what was going on inside. However, the poison distribution room was airtight and light-proof, with only one vent and one wastewater pipe. .
Not long after, Tatsuma, who came back from cooking, saw Jiraiya lying on the door like a big toad, as if he wanted to observe the situation inside through the crack in the door. However, as one of the assemblers of the poison distribution room, Tatsuma was not interested in Jiraiya. The sealing of the poison dispensing room is extremely well known.
"If you want to take a look, just open the door and take a look. Or are you saying that Jiraiya-sensei will be afraid too?"
Tatsuma said with a smile, and then asked Jiraiya to give up half of his body, opened the door and walked in. Before Jiraiya could see what was going on inside, Tatsuma closed the door, and Jiraiya was anxious and angry. My feet jumped at the door.
"Hmph! I will be afraid, but I won't be afraid!"
Jiraiya muttered to himself outside the poison distribution room for a long time, as if to cheer himself up. Finally, he mustered up the courage, and with a look of death on his face, he stretched out his hand towards the door handle of the poison distribution room.
At the same time, Orochimaru, who was also watching, directly took Naoki and Minato with one hand and retreated towards the outside. Jiraiya also panicked when he saw Orochimaru's appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
The hand on the door handle did not dare to move. Finally, Jiraiya plucked up the courage again and opened the door of the poison distribution room. A greasy smile appeared on his face and he said, "Tsuna... .”
"roll!"
"good."
"Bang~"
Jiraiya closed the door in disgrace, and then scratched his head in confusion. Why did Tatsuma go in and nothing happened, and he just opened the door like this?
Not far away, Naoki asked in confusion: "Why didn't my sister vent her anger on Tatsuma, but instead on Jiraiya?"
Naoki rarely used honorifics towards Jiraiya. After all, as Tsunade's younger brother, he had watched Jiraiya act disrespectful in front of his sister since he was a child, and was often beaten. It was difficult for him to feel awe for Jiraiya.
Orochimaru was also thinking at this time. Although Tsunade usually had a bad attitude towards Jiraiya, most of it was due to Jiraiya himself. In business and critical moments, Tsunade rarely took the initiative to embarrass Jiraiya. Even multiple maintenance.
Just like the last time the three of them were surrounded by Iwa Ninja...
But today, there was nothing wrong with Jiraiya's behavior in Orochimaru's opinion. After all, as a teammate, after such a big thing happened, it was appropriate to go and visit.
Judging from Tatsuma's situation, Tsunade probably hasn't lost her mind yet, so why...
Minato touched his chin at this time and said: "Teacher, he was too hesitant. With Tsunade-sensei's strength and perception, he must have known that the teacher had been lingering at the door for a long time.
Once a girl knows that a boy has hesitated about her, she will be resistant or even angry, let alone hesitant in action? Just open the door and go in, like Tatsuma did, is the best solution. "
"Is...is that so?"
Jiraiya, who came back in despair, heard defeat on his face when he heard his disciple's words.
Seeing Jiraiya's autistic look, Minato quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, this is just my personal guess. Don't take it seriously."
"...Minato, I can understand that you understand this, so why does that little bastard Tatsuma understand it too?!"
Jiraiya said a little irritably. After all, he had heard that when Tatsuma was studying at the Ninja School, he didn't even receive a Valentine's Day chocolate. Although Jiraiya didn't receive as much as Orochimaru, he still Received it!
Although...it was given by the old lady who helped me on the way to school...
"Ah this..."
Minato didn't know how to answer, but Orochimaru said: "With Tatsuma-kun's talent and wisdom, it is normal for you to understand these things. Of course, with your talent and wisdom... it is normal for you not to understand."
"Smelly snake!"
"Cranetail! Oh, sorry, Naoki, I didn't mean you, I meant Jiraiya."
