Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

It's not just Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Gu Zang leaned on Tsunade's shoulder and looked at Orochimaru who was talking in front of him. The confidence that Orochimaru exuded naturally attracted Gu Zang.

He is worthy of being called Uncle Snake. No wonder he has so many younger brothers who are willing to follow him till death. He has shown this command ability and that damn charm since he was young.

This is just the self-awareness of the young Orochimaru, who has no complicated experiences and simply uses his own shallow means to collect information from all sides.

Tsunade's title of Sannin may be exaggerated, but Jiraiya's is more worthy of the title in comparison. And for Orochimaru, the title of Sannin is just his starting point.

If it weren't for the stain of betraying the village and killing his master, Orochimaru's achievements and reputation would have been even higher.

If it weren't for the large-scale cheating in the later period and the suppression of the incombustibles, Gu Zang felt that Orochimaru's achievements would even surpass Hashirama and Madara.

Kozo had no eyes, but Orochimaru's gaze inevitably met Kozo's, and he felt that this mysterious insect was looking at him.

"Mr. Gu Zang, is there anything you can advise me on? My plan may not be perfect."

"No, Orochimaru, you're fine, and your plan is fine."

Orochimaru paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced towards the treetop where Hiruzen was.

Hiruzen then disappeared from the treetops in a flash, so as not to affect Orochimaru's judgment and planning.

But Orochimaru thought of more.

"What about Jiraiya and Tsunade? Is there anything you need to add?"

Orochimaru looked at the other two.

Jiraiya was already dizzy from what he had heard, and the symbol of Uzukage Village was now imprinted in his eyes.

"Just tell me what to do, Orochimaru. You know I didn't understand." Jiraiya said confidently.

Tsunade pondered for a while and asked Orochimaru a question in return.

"Orochimaru, if the mission must be completed but we are no match for the enemy, what should we do?"

"If you can't get around them, then leave. If you can't defeat them, you can't complete the mission. Pointless sacrifices won't buy you the fruits of victory."

"What! How can I not win?"

Zilai was no longer sleepy and shouted.

"Hey! Kid, I advise you to keep your voice down. This place is not far from the stronghold. You might have been exposed just now."

Gu Zang lazily gave Jiraiya a warning, and Jiraiya pursed his lips in dissatisfaction again, but he couldn't refute it. He knew that being willful also depends on the situation.

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru with some concern, then at Jiraiya.

Orochimaru said it easily, but when he judged that he couldn't win, could he really run away? Especially with Jiraiya, who was so reckless...

Orochimaru noticed Tsunade's gaze, but he didn't look at Jiraiya. Without saying much, the three of them set off immediately.

Tsunade moved forward and blocked the entrance to the mountain.

Her mission was to prevent any bandits or informants from escaping before the investigation results came out.

Jiraiya was arranged by Orochimaru to climb up from the side of the mountain. It was a bit difficult, but it was hidden enough.

As for Orochimaru, he disappeared into the forest in a few flashes, and no one knew where he went.

According to him, he should have gone to communicate with the snakes in the mountains and forests.

"Mr. Gu Zang...I'm a little worried."

Tsunade hid her figure and squatted on the tree, whispering to Gu Zang on her shoulder.

"What's there to worry about?"

"I have a feeling Jiraiya might be discovered and killed..."

The premonition was early, Gu Zang thought helplessly, and it was decades early.

"Don't worry, that kid has a Transparent Release. Even Hiruzen won't be able to detect him unless he gets close. He won't die that easily."

But Gu Zang immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, Tsunade, why are you so worried about Jiraiya? I don't see you worrying about Orochimaru~hmm~"

Tsunade patted Gu Zang gently, feeling a little shy.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Kozo? Jiraiya is just a companion, and Orochimaru is in a state where he doesn't need to be worried about by others."

"Steal~"

Just when Tsunade was feeling a little confused, Gu Zang's low voice brought her back to reality.

"Come back, someone's coming."

Below, on the narrow mountain road, a ragged thug was striding through the bushes, carrying a rusty machete.

"The King called me to patrol the mountains... Uh, weird, what's this accent? Why am I singing like this?"

The minions were surprised at their own speaking habits, but they didn't notice that a pair of eyes in the tree were staring at him.

"Go ahead, Tsunade-chan, kill them with one strike, you can do it."

Gu Zang whispered softly in Tsunade's ear, encouraging her to attack the minion.

Tsunade bit her lip.

The minion looked a little stupid and didn't seem like a very evil person, and Tsunade had never killed anyone before.

"This is the best time. The enemy is standing there, his body loose and defenseless. His heart and throat are exposed in front of you. Just one blow, one blow is enough. There will be no blood. Tsunade, it's your turn. Now, finish him off."

The devilish temptation, along with the heavy bass of Gu Zang, lingered in Tsunade's ears.

Tsunade silently took out the shuriken from her ninja tool bag, activated her chakra, and added supernatural strength to her body. She flashed and rushed out from the treetop.

laugh--

The shuriken accurately pierced the goon's throat.

But Tsunade used her super strength.

For Hiruzen or Kozo, extraordinary strength is acceptable, but for an ordinary person, this strength that is enough to overturn a huge rock is a bit beyond the standard.

bang——

The shuriken pierced the throat, but Tsunade's arm did not stop, and smashed the minions neck, half of the head and the chest cavity including the collarbone.

The body flew two meters away, and red and white substances sprayed all over the ground.

vomit--

Tsunade vomited violently, leaving not a single piece of the rice ball she had eaten in the morning, and she continued to retch even after emptying her stomach.

"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu Zang, didn't you say... Ugh... didn't you say there was no blood..."

Gu Zang leaned on Tsunade's shoulder, speechless. Using super strength to defeat minions? Is that any different from using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

It's obvious that you overexerted yourself!

He did not feel uncomfortable with this bloody scene. It was mainly because the smell of corruption in the Wet Bone Forest was too similar to the smell of blood, so he was used to it.

"Let's clean up first."

"Oh..."

Tsunade also felt that she looked a little embarrassed, so she quickly straightened her clothes and wiped the blood off her hands.

"I'm talking about cleaning up the ground! Tsunade-chan, don't forget your mission! Use Fire Style to dispose of the bodies, and Earth Style to cover up the traces. I'll teach you, hurry up!"

Gu Zang slapped himself in the face, but unfortunately his vision did not rely on his eyes, but on receptors spread throughout his body.

Tsunade has already started to pay attention to her image at such a young age. She is indeed an exquisite girl, but she needs to be more careful!

Tsunade's face suddenly turned red.

She hurriedly covered up the traces of the killing according to what Gu Zang said. The ground was still a little messy, but it was enough. Tsunade hid back in the treetops.

After blushing like that, Tsunade's feeling about killing someone for the first time actually improved a lot.

As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. After squatting back on the treetop, Tsunade finally looked like a real ninja.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Gu Zang."

Tsunade's tone took on a hint of determination.

"Thank you."

Gu Zang waved his hand gently.

"Don't say that, Tsunade-chan. Although I'm Hashirama's summoning beast, I'm not helping you out of respect for Hashirama and Tobirama. You...are a talented ninja yourself."
