The First Shinobi World War was when the Various Ninja Villages attacked Konoha together, and Konoha was defended by Senju Tobirama's Forbidden Technique, Edo Tensei.
If this Ninja World War also involved the Various Ninja Villages attacking Konoha together, Konoha would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
"And now, although we don't know how their elite Ninja died in Uzushiogakure, one thing is certain: the Four Great Shinobi Villages all suspect that the other side killed their people."
"Therefore, once war breaks out, the Four Great Shinobi Villages are very likely to fight individually, which is beneficial to Konoha. With Konoha's strength, it is not afraid to fight any Shinobi Village."
Orochimaru analyzed the current situation in detail.
In short, it was one sentence: Lord Danzo, please don't ruin Konoha's advantage!
"I understand."
Danzo Shimura clasped his hands together, saying in a deep voice.
How could he not understand Orochimaru's hidden meaning?
Was he, Danzo Shimura, someone who couldn't see the situation clearly?
Fortunately, he didn't act rashly; discussing it with Orochimaru was indeed the right thing to do.
It seems my judgment was affected by the actions of the Various Ninja Villages, and I almost did something that would harm Konoha.
Danzo Shimura had to admit that Orochimaru's analysis made a lot of sense. Instead of playing those insidious little tricks, it was better to wait for the war to break out.
After Orochimaru's reminder, he realized that Konoha had a great advantage!
Leaving the Root's base, Orochimaru planned to buy some ingredients before going home.
On the street, Orochimaru saw Tsunade walking ahead.
Tsunade?
What's wrong with her?
Today, Tsunade lacked her usual vitality, feeling depressed as if she had suffered a major blow.
Could it be... Orochimaru thought of the only possibility that could make Tsunade like this, quickened her steps, and blocked her path.
"Tsunade, what's wrong with you?"
"Orochimaru..."
Tsunade saw Orochimaru, and the annoyance on her face was replaced by a wronged expression. She hugged Orochimaru and complained, "If only you had come home with me yesterday... I wouldn't have been scolded so badly by Grandma."
So... so Grandma Mito wasn't in trouble after all... Orochimaru had just thought Grandma Mito was in trouble, but it turned out Tsunade was just upset about being scolded by Grandma Mito.
"Grandma pulled my ear and scolded me for so long... That little brat Nawaki didn't help, and even added fuel to the fire. He's absolutely detestable! I'm his older sister! Is he that happy watching me get scolded?!"
Tsunade angrily waved her fists. Was that little brat Nawaki really her younger brother?!
Nawaki is indeed your younger brother... Orochimaru thought of Nawaki adding fuel to the fire while Grandma Mito scolded Tsunade. There was no younger brother closer than him.
"Too bad I can't be there to get scolded with you."
Orochimaru patted Tsunade's shoulder, indicating she couldn't help.
"Oh, right, how's Hikari?"
Tsunade suddenly remembered Uchiha Hikari and asked with concern.
"She's fine. Hikari's physical condition is still within a controllable range. We are using a slow treatment method, treating her while her body is normal. This is the most suitable treatment method for her..."
Orochimaru briefly explained Uchiha Hikari's physical condition.
"As expected of Orochimaru, you're even better than me in Medical Ninjutsu!"
Tsunade put her arm around Orochimaru's shoulder. After knowing that Uchiha Hikari's body could be healed, a weight was lifted from her heart.
"Tsunade, you are the most amazing Medical Ninja. Some of my methods no longer have any relation to Medical Ninjutsu, but are research results from studying various things."
Orochimaru said sincerely, Tsunade was much better than her in Medical Ninjutsu.
"No matter what the method, as long as it can heal the patient, isn't that good? Orochimaru, you're too modest."
Tsunade patted Orochimaru's shoulder, then suddenly remembered why she, who spent most of her time in the Laboratory, was here.
"Orochimaru, do you have something to do?"
"I just went to Lord Danzo's place; he had something to discuss with me."
Orochimaru took Tsunade's hand and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
With that, Orochimaru activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and their figures appeared in the forest of the Third Training Ground.
"It seems the Flying Thunder God Technique formula I left is still here."
Orochimaru looked at the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on the tree trunk.
"Orochimaru, what does Danzo want from you again? Don't tell me he wants you to research something again? Even the Assistant Hokage has to provide research funds!"
Tsunade didn't care if they were Konoha Higher-Ups; in short, Orochimaru couldn't be taken advantage of!
"It's related to the movements of the Various Ninja Villages..."
Orochimaru didn't hide anything from Tsunade, revealing the intelligence collected by Root's intelligence Ninja.
"War will start again soon, won't it?"
Tsunade thought of her grandfather Senju Hashirama's ideal, sighed, and said, "Grandfather's ideal is destined to remain just an ideal. How can peace last forever...?"
"Indeed, humans trigger war due to desire, and hatred is born from war, and hatred triggers new wars. Looking at history, human development is accompanied by one conflict and war after another, like an endless cycle."
Orochimaru said with emotion. The history of this world became abstract after Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura sealed Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Perhaps under Black Zetsu's secret guidance, one war after another was fought for inexplicable reasons, leaving people bewildered.
"That kind of thinking is caused by reading too many books."
Tsunade pinched Orochimaru's cheek, making her pale white cheek turn red.
"People who are too smart always have all sorts of worries. It's better to be a fool, don't you think, Tsunade?"
Orochimaru looked pointedly at Tsunade, as if saying, 'You're the fool.'
"I'm not a fool!"
Tsunade glared at Orochimaru with an unfriendly gaze. Seeing her cheek, which she had pinched red, she leaned in and kissed her cheek, feeling her face flush slightly, and showed her characteristic smile, though this time her smile carried a hint of shyness.
"Hehe!"
