Tsunade could roughly understand Raijin's meaning. Orochimaru alone would definitely not be able to hold back a Jonin.
If she and Orochimaru were together, even if it was a Jonin, they should be able to hold on for a while. If the tactics were applied properly, they might be able to take down the opponent's Jonin.
As for Raijin, it's hard to say whether he can defeat a Jonin, but there should be no problem in holding him back.
Having trained with Raijin for eight years, Tsunade knew very well how comprehensive Raijin's abilities were.
Basically, there is no existence that this guy can't restrain.
In Tsunade's heart, she didn't count the two Chunin beside Takenaka Heizo as their own forces at all.
After all, they don't belong to Konohagakure.
Takenaka Heizo may not be willing to let his Chunin join the battle. After all, if it really can't be done, two Chunin are enough to run away with Takenaka Heizo.
...
Sarutobi Hiruzen completely ignored Mamoru Chikara and just continued to speak to Takenaka Heizo.
"Let your two subordinates join the battle, I only need one million ryos, and I can guarantee your personal safety. If you don't let your subordinates join the battle, two million ryos."
Upon hearing this, Takenaka Heizo gritted his teeth fiercely and said to his two Chunin subordinates who never left him.
"Thank you both."
The commission fee of two million ryos, this trip was a waste!
This is considered a high fee even among A-rank missions.
But there is no way, now that things have come to this, Takenaka Heizo can only admit his bad luck, having encountered the rogue ninjas of Kumogakure.
It's really hard to make some money!
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you really don't take me seriously, do you?!"
Maki Masato shouted coldly and quickly attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
What Kumogakure Village is best at is Lightning Release and Taijutsu, and Maki Masato is even more outstanding among them. Otherwise, in that rebellion, Maki Masato would not have been able to escape.
"Listen to Raijin's arrangement!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen only had time to say one sentence, then he got up and went forward to deal with Mamoru Chikara.
Raijin, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, along with the two ninjas beside Takenaka Heizo, a total of five people stood together, confronting the two Jonin on the opposite side.
Although Raijin's side has more people, the momentum on the opposite side seems to be stronger.
The Jonin on the opposite side, who was carrying two long swords, saw that the five people of Raijin had no intention of doing it, snorted lightly, and slowly pulled out the two long swords behind him.
"What? You said you were going to hold me back? Why aren't you coming?"
His gaze was fixed on Raijin.
"Ishida, don't underestimate the enemy."
Another rogue ninja from Kumogakure said to Ishida, who was holding two swords.
"Don't worry, Sakai, I know what I'm doing."
Sakai pursed his lips somewhat helplessly upon hearing this.
During the first war, I don't know how many times because of your recklessness, we almost fell into a desperate situation.
But... with a configuration of at most three Chunin and two Genin, there shouldn't be too much trouble.
Sakai also gave up the idea of persuading Ishida. After all, he had said so many times, every time it was, I know, I'm sorry, I'll definitely next time, but he just didn't change, what can people do?
"You said let me hold you back, I'll hold you back? Can't I hold back that Sakai?"
Upon hearing this, Raijin chuckled lightly and slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand.
"You can try."
Ishida's twin swords were also covered with a layer of thunder. I still remember that when I hadn't defected from the village, even Raikage praised my twin sword flow.
Unconsciously, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Ishida's mouth.
In the end, there's no going back...
"Why should I try? If my teacher defeats that Maki Masato of yours, why should I take that risk?"
Upon hearing this, Raijin leaned back tactically, speaking to Ishida with a relaxed expression.
But Raijin wasn't wrong, the current situation is indeed Sarutobi Hiruzen pressing Maki Masato in the fight, it has to be admitted, Sarutobi Hiruzen really has some skills.
"Then you might not wait for that moment."
Ishida's face turned cold, a cold killing intent emanated from his body, a strong and cold aura descended on Raijin, and Raijin almost instantly felt his hands and feet cold.
Seeing this, Ishida drew a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, his figure flashed, and he attacked Raijin at the fastest speed.
To deal with this kind of rookie who just came out of the ninja school, use killing intent to intimidate, and then kill with one blow, it is basically Ishida's handy method.
"Raijin!"
At this time, Tsunade was like a little rookie who had just come out of the ninja school, looking at the stunned Raijin, she let out a helpless cry.
Upon seeing this, Orochimaru looked at Raijin in surprise, how could Raijin be so... fragile?
Originally, Orochimaru wanted to take a look at Tsunade, but when he heard the cry from Tsunade in his ear, Orochimaru's rationality instantly controlled Orochimaru's actions and made Orochimaru roar out.
"Raijin!"
A look of wanting to rush forward to save Raijin, but it was too late.
As for the two Chunin following Takenaka Heizo, they were all stunned. The Uchiha who pacified the chaos? A genius who activated the Three Tomoe Sharingan at the age of six?
Just like this?
They didn't want to help, but a Jonin who is good at Taijutsu's full sprint.
Even Sakai, Ishida's teammate, subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, these little kids, even more fragile than imagined.
But what followed was a doubt.
Such an obvious rookie who just graduated, even if the team leader Jonin is Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is impossible to carry out a B-rank mission.
"Sarutobi, your subordinates don't seem to be as good as you think?"
In the midst of the rush, Mamoru Chikara glanced at the situation on Ishida's side and chuckled lightly.
"Who knows? If he dies, he dies."
Sarutobi Hiruzen dodged Maki Masato's fierce knife sideways, holding the golden hoop transformed by the Monkey King in his hand, and stabbed back.
The golden hoop rod directly lengthened, and Maki Masato dodged in embarrassment.
"You're really cold-blooded, Sarutobi. Don't your ninjas in Konohagakure often hang the Will of Fire on their lips? How come? After Senju Hashirama died, did your Will of Fire get lost?"
Even if he was suppressed, Maki Masato didn't forget to shoot his mouth.
Or rather, it was precisely because he was suppressed that Maki Masato wanted to shoot his mouth more.
"Who knows? I'll send you to ask the First Hokage later."
Sarutobi was unmoved, sneered, and the rhythm was steady.
...
"Ishida! It's a trap!"
Sakai suddenly came back to his senses and shouted to Ishida. Such a ninja could never be brought out to do a B-rank mission. Konohagakure could never make such a low-level mistake, especially when the Hokage's granddaughter, Tsunade, was still there.
