Kumogakure, after suffering heavy losses, would need to recuperate. Next, Konoha would face Iwagakure and Hidden Mist. If Iwagakure and Hidden Mist remain inactive.
Then, the Second Shinobi World War could be declared over, unless Iwagakure and Hidden Mist want to engage in a war of attrition.
Of course, they must also be wary of Hidden Sand Village stabbing them in the back.
Such backstabbing is not impossible.
Alas... Orochimaru really wants to end the war quickly, but unfortunately, the war isn't what she wants it to be, and she has no interest in the Hokage position at all.
"I didn't expect you to be a hardliner, Orochimaru!"
Tsunade said in surprise, she thought Orochimaru wouldn't care when the war came.
"Rather than saying I'm a hardliner, it's more like I don't want to waste time on meaningless things. In my opinion, war is meaningless."
Orochimaru said with disdain, her face showing disgust for war, making it clear that there are no winners in war, but the major Ninja Villages paid a heavy price for it, deeply realizing their mistakes, only to repeat them next time.
"There's no way, we can't decide the war."
Tsunade sighed softly. She knew that Hiruzen-sensei was trying his best to prevent the war from affecting Konoha. War is like a huge vortex, and Konoha, on the edge of the vortex, will eventually be pulled into the center of the vortex.
"At least this winter, the war will cool down somewhat."
Orochimaru reached out and caught a falling snowflake. A gust of cold wind blew, scattering the black hair that was draped over her shoulders.
Before Orochimaru and Tsunade reached the doorstep of their home on the edge of Konoha, heavy snow began to fall, and the visibility suddenly decreased. She couldn't continue looking at the data she had collected.
"Welcome home."
Hyuga Mio opened the door, looking at Orochimaru and Tsunade standing at the door, with a gentle smile on her face.
How annoying... Tsunade felt very annoyed by the smile on Hyuga Mio's face, feeling like she was the outsider.
"It's snowing so suddenly."
Hyuga Mio brushed the snow off Orochimaru's body, as for the snow on Tsunade's body, she would have to take care of it herself.
"Yes."
Orochimaru nodded. It didn't seem like it was going to snow before, and then it snowed.
Uchiha Hikari, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, put down the book in her hand and ran to the entrance. Her single ponytail, with hair on both sides like cat ears, moved as she ran, like twitching cat ears.
"Orochimaru, you're back!"
Uchiha Hikari hugged Orochimaru, burying her face in her chest, and looked up, her black eyes showing a hint of joy.
So that's how it is... Tsunade looked at Uchiha Hikari's actions, suddenly realizing, but also embarrassed to do so.
"How long can you stay this time?"
Uchiha Hikari hugged Orochimaru's waist tightly. She missed her very much during this time when she was out on a mission.
"Recently, there shouldn't be any missions, right?"
