I really appreciate you two!
Orochimaru had intended to wait for the tension in the command center to dissipate before entering, but their actions forced her to go in now.
Tsunade also glared fiercely at the two guarding Ninja. She didn't want to go in, but now she had no choice but to follow.
With that time, she might as well go home and take a bath.
"Orochimaru, Tsunade, you're here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru and Tsunade with a beaming smile as they walked in, wishing he could stand up and welcome them. Finally, he didn't have to face Danzo and the others by himself.
Lord Hiruzen, what's with that look of seeing a savior?
Orochimaru observed the expressions on everyone's faces in the command center, and a flash of understanding passed through her mind. Combined with the arguments she had just heard from the command center, she could roughly guess what was happening.
Wanting to use Bunbuku to gain an advantage for Konoha on the battlefield, in Orochimaru's view, was quite normal.
Hidden Sand sent Bunbuku to the battlefield precisely to let Shukaku cause chaos. Given Bunbuku's current age and his long confinement in prison, he hadn't had much time to train. It could be said that his physical condition was already very poor.
If it weren't for Shukaku's Chakra sustaining his life, he would have been long dead from Tsunade's punch.
"Lord Hiruzen, Orochimaru and I just came upstairs and heard your argument."
Tsunade complained with one hand on her hip, unable to understand how they could argue over Bunbuku.
Bunbuku was captured alive by Orochimaru, so Orochimaru had the most say!
They hadn't even returned yet, and they were already discussing how to use Bunbuku to create the greatest benefit. What was this all about?
Thinking of this, Tsunade looked at them with a hint of dissatisfaction, and a feeling of grievance, as if she wanted to invite her grandmother to preside over the situation.
This idiot… Orochimaru stepped forward, shielding Tsunade behind her, and asked, "Lord Hiruzen, Lord Danzo, Lady Koharu, Lord Homura, what are you arguing about?"
"Orochimaru, you've come at a good time. We're discussing how to utilize Hidden Sand's Ichibi Jinchuriki."
Utatane Koharu tried hard to control her temper, not wanting Orochimaru to misunderstand that she was targeting her, and continued, "Send the Ichibi Jinchuriki to Hidden Mist Village, let the Ichibi wreak havoc in Hidden Mist Village, and thus gain an advantage for Konoha on the front lines against Hidden Mist."
Utatane Koharu believed this was the fastest way to resolve the war between Konoha and Hidden Mist.
"My view is the same as Koharu's. This can quickly end the war between Konoha and Hidden Mist, allowing us to fully confront Iwagakure and Sunagakure."
Regarding how to use the Ichibi Jinchuriki, Homura Mitokado's idea was the same as Utatane Koharu's.
"On this matter, my thoughts differ slightly from Koharu's and Homura's. If the Ichibi can severely damage Hidden Mist, Konoha might even be able to counterattack Hidden Mist!"
Danzo Shimura's idea was even more radical.
"Lady Koharu, Lord Homura, Lord Danzo, your plans are good, but there are two very important factors you haven't considered."
Orochimaru extended two fingers and continued, "First, the relationship between a Tailed Beast and a Jinchuriki. Second, the Ichibi Jinchuriki is from Hidden Sand Village, not Konoha's Jinchuriki. Why would he obey Konoha's orders to destroy Hidden Mist?"
These were two very crucial questions.
Bunbuku was a perfect Jinchuriki; only a Mangekyo Sharingan could control him and Shukaku.
Bunbuku went to the battlefield because he was a member of Hidden Sand Village and had to contribute to Hidden Sand Village. If Konoha wanted Bunbuku to destroy Hidden Mist, he could simply commit suicide.
If Bunbuku died, Shukaku would also die.
Because of this, the Konoha Higher-Ups' argument was meaningless from the start. Bunbuku could not be controlled; even the Yamanaka Clan and Uchiha Clan working together couldn't achieve it.
Currently, Three-Tomoe Sharingan were abundant in the Uchiha, but there were no Mangekyo Sharingan.
Hearing Orochimaru's words, they only then realized that they had completely forgotten that the Ichibi Jinchuriki was not so easy to control.
"Can't we use genjutsu or the Sharingan to control him?"
Homura Mitokado thought of the Ninja in the Village who were skilled in genjutsu and the Uchiha's Sharingan.
"When a One-Tail Jinchuriki loses consciousness, it's the Ichibi that controls his body. This means that even if the One-Tail Jinchuriki falls under genjutsu, the Ichibi is unaffected. Once the Jinchuriki is controlled by genjutsu, it's possible the Ichibi will control the Jinchuriki's body."
