I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 589 Sennin Orochimaru!

The next morning.

A massive shadow creature flew out of Konoha New City and sped towards the Land of Rice Fields.

Nara Rinka and Tsunade sat side by side on the back of the [Shadow Creature], their conversation muffled by the howling wind.

"Last night you described the situation in Tianguo as being so serious."

Tsunade leaned close to Nara Ranka's ear and teased him on purpose.

"I thought you'd bring more people with you to see Orochimaru!"

Yesterday, when Nara met Tsunade.

Not only were the specific timing of the operation communicated, but the other party was also informed.

At the same time, Tsunade was also informed of the detailed situation of the Land of Rice Fields.

This is Orochimaru's carefully constructed lair.

Orochimaru had made his secret base in the Land of Fields impenetrable.

Only Nara Rinkachi could use his skills to move freely within Orochimaru's private base.

An ordinary person probably wouldn't even be able to get close to Orochimaru's base.

Nara Ranke strategically underestimated Orochimaru's strength, but tactically he did not disregard the opponent's abilities.

Orochimaru's various secret techniques, his collaboration with Black Zetsu, and the possibility of White Zetsu appearing at any moment...

Nara Rinka relayed all the information he had about Orochimaru's abilities to Tsunade.

Some of this information was top-secret intelligence that even Tsunade, Orochimaru's longtime teammate and friend of several decades, was unaware of.

Nara Ranke described the situation on Orochimaru's side as extremely serious.

Tsunade, who hadn't really taken Orochimaru seriously before, also silently became more vigilant.

"I originally planned to bring some people with me."

Nara Lan Gui leaned against Tsunade's broad chest.

"The Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and several other young ninjas..."

Well, actually, he wasn't a particularly famous young ninja.

Like Naruto Uzumaki, Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique, Kakashi Hatake, Samui, and so on.

"But after thinking about it carefully, it was too much trouble to bring so many people along, so I just didn't bother calling them."

Nara Rinka felt that it would be too much trouble to take so many people on the trip.

The most troublesome part is not "bringing people", but "battle allocation".

Excluding Orochimaru and Black Zetsu, Orochimaru's opponents were at most just White Zetsu and Orochimaru himself.

If Nara were to invite Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, and the others...

He can't possibly have Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Samui, and other Jinchuriki all team up to fight Manda, can he?

That's practically playing with snakes!

"Actually, it would have been enough if you had come alone."

Tsunade pulled Nara Ranka's head into her arms and covered it tightly.

"You insisted on taking me along!"

Over the past few years...

Under the close tutelage of Nara Rinkei, Tsunade's strength has improved noticeably.

Wood Release and Sage Mode.

Tsunade believes that her current strength is close to that of her great-grandfather.

However, compared to its own clearly visible rate of improvement in strength.

Tsunade couldn't understand Nara Ranke's current strength level at all.

That's terrifying.

Tsunade also tried to challenge the Nara Plume.

result.

Whether in bed or out of bed, she was utterly defeated.

This man is terrifyingly strong...

"Because Orochimaru has two people on his side."

Nara Rinka said vaguely.

"So we also need to send two people."

Amidst the laughter and chatter of Nara Rinka and Tsunade, the skyscrapers of Konoha's new city were quickly left behind until they disappeared from sight.

After a short flight.

The Shadow Creature crossed the border of the Land of Fire and entered the Land of Fields.

Based on the location lock of the [Shadow Blade], Nara Rinka controls the [Shadow Creature] and heads straight to Orochimaru's secret base.

Country of Fields.

The shadow creature descended upon an open area surrounding a dilapidated village.

"Is this Orochimaru's new lair?"

Tsunade jumped down from the [Shadow Creature] and looked around at her surroundings.

"That's impressive, there's not a trace of ninja activity in them."

The shadow creature disappeared into the shadows of Nara Rinka.

"It seems Orochimaru didn't sense our arrival."

Nara Ranka stood next to Tsunade and reminded her with a smile.

"Tsunade-neechan, should we say hello to Orochimaru?"

After saying this, Nara Rinka pointed out a direction that led directly to Orochimaru's core base.

Tsunade rolled her eyes slightly at Nara Rinka.

However, at Nara Rinka's suggestion, she slightly raised her right leg and gently stepped down.

A powerful surge of chakra gathered in the sole of Tsunade's right foot, then exploded forth with a thud as she stomped the ground.

The seemingly ordinary action elicited a surprisingly surprising reaction.

boom--

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The ground directly cracked open in front of Tsunade's toes, creating an astonishing fissure tens of meters long.

The entire earth looked as if it had been cleaved in two by a single stroke, a truly terrifying sight.

【Super Strength - Painful Kick】!

This caused an astonishing commotion in such a small village.

As the local master, Orochimaru naturally noticed the situation immediately.

In the secret base.

Orochimaru not only sensed the tremors of the earth, but also felt that familiar chakra.

"Tsunade actually showed up here?!"

Orochimaru was slightly surprised.

He didn't have time to think about how Tsunade had discovered his secret base.

Upon realizing that Tsunade had arrived, Orochimaru immediately left the core base and moved towards the outside world.

It took less than a few seconds.

The dust from Tsunade's [Super Strength - Painful Heaven Kick] had not yet completely settled.

Orochimaru's figure then appeared around this open space.

"Hehe..."

Orochimaru let out a hoarse laugh.

"It really is you, Tsunade."

Orochimaru originally wanted to take this opportunity to catch up with Tsunade.

However, in the next instant, his snake eyes suddenly saw the figure standing next to Tsunade.

That figure that Orochimaru could never forget.

Nara takes the crown!

"How is this possible?!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened suddenly as he stared in disbelief at the familiar figure that was etched into his memory.

The shock he felt at this moment was a hundred times greater than when he first discovered Tsunade's presence.

Because in Orochimaru's personal perception, he could not sense Nara Ranka's chakra at all!

If Orochimaru hadn't seen Nara Rin standing right next to Tsunade...

He would still think that Tsunade had no other ninjas around her!

Is it...

Is this an illusion?

Orochimaru subconsciously rejected his perception and began to consider other possibilities.

"I...have I fallen under the enemy's illusion?"

But the next moment.

Nara Rinka took the initiative to speak, which immediately caught Orochimaru's attention.

Orochimaru.

Nara Rinkazu glanced at Orochimaru from afar, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.

"So this is your source of confidence?"

"Sage techniques from Ryuchi Cave!"

Fourth update.

Goodnight everybody.

There are still 46 updates to be added.
