Chapter 63 I really look forward to seeing your expressions then.
"Isn't it too risky to infiltrate Amegakure?" Jiraiya asked with a worried expression. "The news of Iwagakure's surprise attack on Amegakure will surely reach Hanzo's ears soon, and he might even be on his way back to Amegakure right now."
"If the massacre and looting in Iwagakure were really just a cover, Hanzo would definitely realize that their target was the antidote formula."
"Regardless of whether Amegakure had a pharmaceutical workshop that specialized in producing antidotes, whether Hanzo gave the antidote formula to his subordinates, or whether Iwagakure succeeded, Hanzo would have destroyed the formula afterward, or even destroyed the pharmaceutical workshop, to keep the antidote under his control."
"Furthermore, with Amegakure under attack, Hanzo will definitely change his strategy and strengthen Amegakure's defenses. Infiltrating Amegakure at this time would be too risky."
"That's exactly right. That's why we should infiltrate Amegakure to verify. I believe that's why Sarutobi-sensei sent Gojo-kun here." Tsunade retorted, then urged, "Hanzo may not have returned to Amegakure yet, or he may not have realized what's happening. This is the best time for us to infiltrate."
"There's no time to waste here. Gojo Yoru and I will infiltrate Amegakure to verify the facts. You guys hurry up and vote."
Orochimaru and the others fell silent.
Gojo Yoru leaned close to Orochimaru's ear and whispered, "Orochimaru-sensei, what does Lady Tsunade want to verify?"
Orochimaru didn't hide anything and told the truth: "Not long ago, Iwagakure launched a surprise attack on Amegakure, carrying out a massacre and looting. But we suspect that the Iwagakure ninja did this just to create a false impression. Their real purpose was to find Amegakure's hidden pharmaceutical workshop and steal the antidote and formula for the deadly poison of the salamander."
"Because Sunagakure has already developed a formula to counteract the poison of the salamander and can mass-produce the antidote. If Iwagakure also obtains the formula, or a large quantity of the antidote, they may also be able to develop their own formula."
"At that time, two of the three great powers will possess the antidote. Hanzo might join forces with them to declare war on our Land of Fire, or they might deliberately lure the salamander to our Land of Fire."
"To avoid this worst-case scenario, we cannot sit idly by and wait for our demise; we must obtain the formula for the antidote as soon as possible."
"Tsunade's idea was simple: to take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate Amegakure and see if Iwagakure had succeeded."
"If we succeed, we must prepare for the worst. Even if we are identified as participants in the war, we must still seize the antidote from the Amegakure and Sunagakure. If we fail, the heavily guarded area of Amegakure might be a secret workshop producing the antidote. We can take the opportunity to seize the antidote and the formula."
"I see." Gojo Yoru suddenly realized that his presence had caused a butterfly effect.
Without his Flying Thunder God Technique, Konoha certainly wouldn't have dared to take such a proactive stance.
The outcome would be the worst-case scenario Orochimaru described: Konoha would have to fight on three fronts simultaneously against Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Iwagakure.
Now that Gojo Yoru has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, Konoha is more willing to think and act boldly.
So Gojo Yoru took the initiative to speak up: "Wouldn't it be too high-profile for Lady Tsunade to infiltrate? Why don't I infiltrate and find out for myself? Even if I'm discovered, no one will know my identity for the time being."
"If it were just a simple infiltration, the Anbu and the reconnaissance team could handle it," Tsunade explained. "But our goal is to find and confirm whether the pharmaceutical workshop exists. Any pharmaceutical workshop, even if it was created to produce a certain drug, would not produce only one drug, much less have only one formula, in order to mislead people."
"This infiltration mission requires an excellent medical ninja, and right now, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is more suitable than me."
"I see." Gojo Yoru suddenly realized again.
Without further hesitation, Shimura Danzo said, "Since Hiruzen supports your decision, then this task will be entrusted to you."
"Yes."
Tsunade and Gojou nodded in unison, then the former said with a serious expression, "This infiltration, whether successful or not, is tantamount to declaring war on Amegakure. You must be prepared for the Salamander summoning and airdrop. We cannot allow the combat troops to gather together; we must disperse them as soon as possible."
"At the same time, we must also prepare for war with Sunagakure. If we are unable to obtain the formula and a large quantity of antidote from Amegakure, we will have to take action against Sunagakure."
Orochimaru and the others immediately nodded with solemn expressions.
"Kid, let's go," Tsunade said to Gojo Yoru.
"Then we'll be leaving now, Orochimaru-sensei, sirs."
Gojo Yoru nodded to Orochimaru and the others, then suddenly teleported from Orochimaru's side to Tsunade's side.
He placed his hand on Tsunade's shoulder, and the two of them vanished from the conference room in an instant.
"This...this..."
Witnessing this scene firsthand, Jiraiya's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his voice trembled as he exclaimed, "Is this the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique? Such terrifying speed! If that kid had attacked us just now, would we have been able to react in time?!"
Sakumo Hatake, who was extremely skilled in Lightning Release nature transformation and whose speed was among the best in Konoha, also had his pupils contract.
At the same time, I felt a surge of relief.
Fortunately, Gojo Yoru was one of their own. Otherwise, unless they could kill him instantly, a human wave tactic would be completely meaningless against such an enemy.
What's even more terrifying is that this technique can also teleport people and objects instantly, making its strategic deterrence truly astonishing.
As for Shimura Danzo, his hands under the table were already clenched into fists, his heart burning with jealousy.
Only Orochimaru felt truly joyful.
Even his smile carried a hint of amusement.
The Flying Thunder God Technique is already this shocking; I really look forward to seeing your expressions when you find out that Gojo Yoru possesses the Space-Time Bloodline Limit.
……
Inside a naturally formed cave in the rocky mountain region of the Land of Rain.
The figures of Gojo Yoru and Tsunade appeared out of thin air.
"Have we arrived at Amegakure?" Tsunade asked instinctively.
"Not yet. I haven't been to Amegakure since I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique," Gojo Yoru said. "This is the outskirts of a small town in the Land of Rain. Lady Tsunade, please wait here for a moment while I go buy two raincoats and a straw hat."
"Be careful, keep an eye on the ground," Tsunade warned. "Amegakure is known for its assassination techniques. They are extremely skilled at poisoning and setting traps using the terrain. Their explosive fire arrays created with explosive tags are particularly famous and are Hanzo's specialty. There are probably such traps everywhere in the Land of Rain now, so you must be vigilant."
"Um... okay."
Gojou nodded, but his expression was somewhat strange. He wondered if Tsunade had given Nawaki this warning.
