According to Ghost Lamp and Cold Moon's instructions, Kirin Village had sent out twenty teams. Ten of the teams were led by Jounin, while the other ten teams were led by Chuounin.
There were a total of 80 people in the team. After Ghost Lamp, Cold Moon, and the other 12 people, there should be 68 people left. Since Yunren Village was cooperating with Wuren Village, the number of people sent should be about the same.
In other words, they would have to face at least 148 ninjas and 19 Jounin. Even for such a large-scale mission, it would be unbelievable if there were not one or two elite Jounin.
Including them, there were 19 people in the team that Mu Ye was going to send this time. Tsunami and Orochimaru were elite Jounin, and the remaining 17 were all Jounin. Their top combat strength was about the same, but the number of core members was less than half.
In such a situation, if one was unlucky and fell into a crowd or was surrounded, the consequences would be quite serious. Moonlight Thousand Leaves 'strength could only be considered not bad. There was still a long way to go before he became a top expert.
What he needed to do now was to make use of everything around him, reduce his own danger, and obtain the greatest benefits.
After memorizing the faces that she could trust, Moonlight Chiba looked up at the rooftop of Naruto's office building. The Jounin had already flown down from the rooftop.
" This mission is extremely dangerous, and there is a great risk of losing your life. Even I can't guarantee that you'll be able to escape unscathed. It's up to each team to decide whether they want to participate in the mission. Those who are willing to participate will bring three days 'worth of rations and the corresponding combat tools. In fifteen minutes, we'll set off at the village entrance.”
Orochimaru landed in front of the ninjas and spoke expressionlessly. After he finished speaking, he nodded at Tsunake and led his team to quickly prepare for the battle.
The front of the Naruto building suddenly became noisy. The news from Moonlight Chiba was once again confirmed by Orochimaru, which undoubtedly increased the panic in some people's hearts.
" You guys…" Okami walked up to Moonlight Chiba and Kaori. Just as he was about to ask if the two of them were willing to participate in the mission, he saw the expressions on their faces.
Moonlight Chiba had a teasing smile on her face while Xun Yi had a serious expression. Even if she did not ask, she would know the answer from the two of them.
"There are enough supplies, so there's no need to prepare. I just packed some food for you. Take advantage of this time to replenish your strength.”Moonlight Thousand Leaves said and led the way to the main gate of the Woodleaf Village.
"Yes." Okami nodded and followed behind Moonlight Chiba with Kaori. At this moment, it was as if the leader of the three of them had changed.
"Orochimaru is the leader. Are you the vice-captain?”Walking quickly to the entrance of the village, Moonlight Chiba asked as she looked at Tsunade who was wolfing down the food.
"Yes, I tried, but the old man said that Orochimaru was more suitable.”" What's wrong?" Tsunete said sullenly. She did not have the image of a lady at all. Beside her, Suka handed Tsunete a glass of warm water. She had no idea who was the leader and who was the vice-leader.
"Orochimaru is indeed a good leader. Furthermore, if you were to be the leader of this mission, you might be too radical.”Moonlight Thousand Leaves nodded and rubbed his chin.
It was undeniable that Okami had a good view of the big picture, but in the matter of the Whirlpool Race, Okami undoubtedly had some personal feelings, which could easily affect one's judgment.
Orochimaru was a person who could remain calm at all times. He would use the smallest casualties in exchange for the greatest victory. This kind of personality could play a big role in a situation where the enemy was strong and he was weak.
"Damn it, Little Qian Ye, how am I radical!”Okami chewed on the food and mumbled something. His baring fangs and brandishing claws seemed to want to eat Moonlight Chiba as well.
"I think I heard Qian Ye-kun praising me just now. I'm really honored.”Orochimaru jumped down from a roof and stood in front of the three of them. His three subordinates followed closely behind.
"Bastard, don't join in the fun at this time.”Okami glared at Orochimaru menacingly.
The current Orochimaru was not as extreme as he would be in the future. Although his aura was a little cold, he could still vaguely see a lot of humanity. When he was glared at by Okami, he only smiled slightly and did not care.
"It is my honor to have your name remembered.”Moonlight Thousand Leaves smiled, but he didn't reveal his thoughts. He spoke politely.
"Relying on his own strength to turn the Moonlight family's decline in a short period of time, and also pulling the Thousand Hands clan along, this kind of method and ability, I'm afraid it's hard not to remember.”
Orochimaru said with a smile. This guy was already quite handsome when he had a cold face. When he smiled, his charm exploded. Even Moonlight Chiba had to admit that this perverted charm was quite great.
"I was just lucky. I didn't expect to be able to catch your eye.”Moonlight Thousand Leaves said politely again. He didn't pull them closer, nor did he feel distant.
He had the title of Moonlight Family Head, so he was talking to Orochimaru as if he was his peer. It was not abrupt, but rather natural.
"By the way? Orochimaru, do you even know how to speak! I haven't settled the score with you for last time!" Okami glared at Orochimaru angrily, his expression extremely displeased.
Last time, it was Orochimaru who called Tsunete out. That was why Yukari confessed in the forest. This matter caused Tsunete to be grounded for a long time. This debt was naturally on Orochimaru's head.
"Last time? Mm, I don't remember." Orochimaru was slightly stunned and pretended to be confused. He had been teammates with Tsuneo and Yukari for more than ten years. In front of his own people, he was not as cold as he was in front of outsiders.
"Bastard!" Okami gritted his teeth, but Moonlight Chiba didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Because Orochimaru had become the leader, his big girl was very unhappy, and now she was probably on the verge of exploding.
"It's time to gather." Orochimaru had been Tsunete's teammate for so long that he naturally knew when Tsunete would explode. He decisively changed the topic and turned around to look behind him.
The remaining 17 teams had arrived one after another. Although they knew the danger, the ninjas 'nature and decades of brainwashing made them grit their teeth and not give up even though they were so afraid that their legs were spinning.
"Is everyone here? Let's go!" Orochimaru frowned slightly when he saw the seventeen teams. He did not say anything and waved his hand to give the order to set off.
His original intention was to use his words to eliminate those who were not strong-willed. After all, those who were frightened by the mere mention of danger did not have much actual combat strength on the battlefield. However, Mu Ye's will of fire was deeply rooted in their hearts, and none of them retreated.
