Chapter 917: Tsunade and Kitazawa Defeat Orochimaru

Lady Tsunade and Kitazawa were the last to arrive.

"Lord Hokage."

Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Kakashi Hatake, and others took the initiative to greet them.

Lady Tsunade nodded slightly.

She scanned the area, and her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Even she felt that the lineup Kitazawa had formed was a bit excessive.

Those who didn't know would think they were attacking the Hidden Cloud Village, not the Hidden Sound Village.

Never mind, it was better to be cautious.

"There is only one purpose for gathering Itachi all today."

Lady Tsunade faced the puzzled gazes of the crowd and said, "Take down the Hidden Sound Village and Orochimaru."

Many people immediately showed expressions of shock.

Orochimaru was a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi and one of the Legendary Sannin of the Leaf.

Some of them had even fought side-by-side with him before.

Now that they suddenly heard their target was Orochimaru, it was naturally difficult for them to remain calm.

"Orochimaru is a rogue ninja of our Hidden Leaf; no matter what the cost, we must capture him and bring him back!"

Lady Tsunade said with full majesty.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Everyone answered in unison.

"This operation needs to be kept secret; we are not pursuing speed, but we cannot let anyone discover our whereabouts."

Lady Tsunade ordered, "The ninja of the Hyuga clan and the Aburame clan are responsible for this; if anyone is nearby, bypass them."

Although it was difficult for this group of people to hide their tracks, it wasn't impossible.

After all, they were all leaders among Jonin.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Hiashi Hyuga and Shibi Aburame quickly responded.

"Set off!"

Lady Tsunade waved her hand and took the lead, walking at the very front.

Kitazawa and the other Jonin followed closely behind.

With the help of the Byakugan and the kikaichu, the group arrived in the Land of Fields silently.

Not far from the Hidden Sound Village, everyone stopped.

"There are ninja of the Fuma clan in that valley; Fugaku, Itachi take people to control them; don't make any noise."

Lady Tsunade said.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded and took Itachi Uchiha and other ninja of the Uchiha clan to that valley.

"Hiashi, your four Byakugan squads go to the four directions of the Hidden Sound Village to lie in wait; don't let anyone escape."

Lady Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Especially Orochimaru."

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Hiashi Hyuga immediately responded.

"Sealing Team, once Orochimaru has no time to pay attention to Itachi, Itachi will cast the Four Violet Flames Formation on him."

Lady Tsunade continued.

One order after another was issued.

Lady Tsunade demonstrated her ability as Hokage, setting up an airtight siege for Orochimaru.

"Lord Hokage, mission accomplished."

A moment later, Fugaku Uchiha and the others returned.

"Itachi ninja of the Uchiha clan will follow us to the Hidden Sound Village."

Lady Tsunade nodded and said, "Action!"

The Jonin who received the order quickly dispersed and headed toward the four directions of the Hidden Sound Village.

After waiting for a moment, Lady Tsunade leaped up and rushed into the Hidden Sound Village at an extremely fast speed.

"Who goes there?"

Some ninja of the Hidden Sound Village discovered them.

Itachi Uchiha flashed in front of him.

A flash of scarlet color passed.

The ninja of the Hidden Sound Village fell into a daze.

He took out a kunai and directly slashed his throat.

Lady Tsunade ignored these ninja of the Hidden Sound Village; her target was the leader's building of the Hidden Sound Village.

After the target appeared in her eyes, she immediately gathered chakra in her feet.

Heavenly Foot of Pain!

Lady Tsunade appeared in front of the leader's building of the Hidden Sound Village and then stomped down.

The terrifying power immediately caused the ground to crack, and the entire building appeared to be tottering.

"What's the situation?"

"There are enemies!"

"Run!"

The ninja of the Hidden Sound Village in the building ran out one after another.

"Orochimaru, get out here!"

Lady Tsunade shouted suddenly.

In front of her, the building could no longer bear it and collapsed with a roar.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that she was indeed a heroine.

The next second, a huge roaring sound was produced.

But it wasn't caused by the collapse of the building, but because the ground cracked, and a purple python whose full body could not be seen clearly drilled out.

It opened its mouth wide and bit toward Lady Tsunade.

Standing on its head was a young man with long black hair.

He possessed pale skin, golden slit pupils, and wore blue magatama-shaped earrings.

"Orochimaru!"

Lady Tsunade clenched her fist and threw a punch.

Her fist landed on one of the purple python's teeth, and immediately that tooth shattered.

"Ah!"

The purple python, which was Manda, let out a scream.

Lady Tsunade took this opportunity to leap up and kick toward Orochimaru.

"Tsunade, Itachi're still the same; your temper hasn't changed at all."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he directly spat out a Kusanagi sword and slashed toward Lady Tsunade.

Lady Tsunade changed her move in time, stepped on the Kusanagi sword with her toe, and retreated quickly.

Manda had already recovered.

Seeing Lady Tsunade in mid-air, it smashed its tail over.

Kitazawa performed hand seals with both hands, bit his thumb, and pressed it to the ground.

In an instant, a slug that was not inferior to Manda in size appeared.

It saw the situation clearly and immediately blocked in front of Lady Tsunade.

Manda's tail lashed against it, and it immediately turned into countless small slugs, suffering no injuries.

The slug re-gathered in another place.

Lady Tsunade landed on its head and said, "Sorry for the trouble, Lady Katsuyu."

Seeing this, Kitazawa also jumped up and stood with Lady Tsunade.

"Why didn't Itachi call Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru looked at Lady Tsunade and the slug, feeling a trace of nostalgia.
