Chapter 179: Suisei's Disdain.

"That's a fine plan, but you need to think carefully. Once you enter the Land of Water, it will be difficult to receive support from the village."

After listening to Raijin's plan, Senju Tobirama nodded in approval.

According to Raijin's plan, Team 7 would march directly into the Land of Water, mainly targeting the supply line between Kirigakure and its main forces far away in the Land of Whirlpools.

At the same time, it would put pressure on Kirigakure Village and Kirigakure's main forces in the Land of Whirlpools.

This way, on the front lines, after the Konohagakure and Land of Whirlpools ninjas joined forces, they could hold an absolute advantage.

And this was the most rational use of an elite squad.

High mobility and high destructiveness.

Team 7 certainly lived up to the name of an elite squad.

Even Jiraiya, who seemed the weakest, was not easily suppressed by one or two Jonin.

Deploying such a squad within the Land of Water was akin to carving an Explosive Tag on the chest of the Mizukage.

And the technique to detonate it was in their own hands.

As long as the Third Mizukage didn't remove this Explosive Tag, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly for a day.

And there was only one way to remove this Explosive Tag.

That was to carve out the Explosive Tag along with the flesh it was attached to.

Team 7 was not so easily defeated by just anyone.

As disciples he had personally raised, Senju Tobirama saw Sarutobi Hiruzen as no less formidable than the Third Mizukage.

And those two, Raijin and Tsunade, although young, might already be beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's ability to handle in a one-on-one fight.

"Don't you still have your Flying Thunder God Kunai?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows and chuckled, speaking to Senju Tobirama.

"I am the Hokage, and I am usually very busy."

Senju Tobirama took a step back immediately upon hearing this, speaking very seriously to Tsunade.

"Oh, then you just wait to collect your granddaughter's corpse."

Tsunade didn't shout as she used to but spread her hands in a rascally manner, speaking to Senju Tobirama.

After so many years of interacting with Raijin, they had inevitably influenced each other to some extent.

Upon hearing the words, Senju Tobirama opened his mouth but found himself speechless as he looked at his beloved granddaughter, whom he had doted on since childhood.

In the end, he could only approach Raijin with resignation.

"Do not betray my trust."

Senju Tobirama handed the Flying Thunder God Kunai to Raijin.

Ultimately, Senju Tobirama still sought some reassurance for Tsunade's safety.

Having once endured the pain of losing a child, Senju Tobirama could not bear the thought of losing another loved one.

"Rest assured."

Raijin took the kunai handed to him by Senju Tobirama.

"I will handle the negotiations in the Land of Whirlpools. You just need to ensure your own safety and destroy everything you see as much as possible."

Senju Tobirama nodded at these words, took a step back, and his figure abruptly vanished from in front of Raijin.

"Let's go."

Looking at the spot where Senju Tobirama had just stood, Raijin turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said.

"Alright."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in response, turned, and looked in the direction of Kirigakure.

"Team Seven! Move out!"

With that, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the lead and ran towards the direction of Kirigakure Village.

Seeing this, Raijin let out a disdainful snort, his figure flashed, turning into a streak of purple lightning that vanished beyond the clouds.

Orochimaru chuckled softly, his form slowly fading away, becoming a gentle breeze that brushed past Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Tsunade on his left and Jiraiya on his right.

After a moment of silence, he said.

"Don't be fooled by their flashy methods of travel; they're not as stable as our solid, grounded approach."

Tsunade: "..."

Jiraiya: "..."

I don't care, I'm definitely going to learn how to fly!

Tsunade declared to herself inwardly.

Actually, it doesn't have to be that stable...

Jiraiya thought to himself silently.

...

"Don't you like any of them?"

Uchiha Motohide approached Suisei, speaking to his daughter.

Over the years, although Raijin seemed more dazzling, Uchiha Motohide had not overlooked his eldest daughter's excellence.

Seeing his daughter frowning as she examined the Ninja Swords, Motohide came to Suisei's side and asked.

"The characteristics of these Ninja Swords are quite remarkable, it's just that the aesthetic of the Hozuki family is really..."

Suisei stroked his chin, his tone full of indecision.

Undoubtedly, these Ninja Swords were truly exceptional, but if he were to actually use these Ninja Swords, he might have to retrain his swordsmanship.

This thought made Suisei quite conflicted.

"Do you think so too? The Hozuki clan's sense of aesthetics is indeed quite average."

Motohide nodded in agreement upon hearing this and turned to the deputy commander beside him.

"Bring over a ninja skilled in Water Release."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing the words, the deputy commander was momentarily stunned. An Uchiha skilled in Water Release?

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Touch your left chest and think about it, does our Uchiha clan really have such genes?

"What? The clan spends so much money every year to support so many people, and now we can't even find one ninja skilled in Water Release?"

Uchiha Motohide saw the deputy commander's troubled expression and his face fell immediately, expressing his displeasure.

"I'll try and find it."

The deputy commander pursed his lips upon hearing this and turned to leave the place.

"If you really don't know which one to use, I think this might suit you."

Motohide said, picking up a Ninja Sword from the ground.

The Ninja Sword looked like a slender needle, with a long thread at the tail of the blade.

It was the Long Sword - Nuibari

"Forget it..."

Suisei looked at the Sewing Needle in Motohide's hand, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately chose to give up.

Suisei couldn't understand, compared to her own sword, what was the difference besides the steel wire at the end?

And besides, who uses steel wire in Jonin combat?

Thinking of Raijin's Kusanagi Sword and the Thunder Sword Kiba that had been taken by that brat, Suisei really didn't want the Nuibari.

Suisei would rather go without than use a Ninja Sword that looked ugly and seemed useless.

"After all, a sword is just an external object. I'm very satisfied with my current sword, unlike some people who only rely on the power of such external things."

Suisei said to Motohide, while also taking a sarcastic jab at Raijin.

"Alright."

Motohide chuckled lightly upon hearing this and said no more. Since Suisei had made her decision, all he needed to do was support it.

As for the matters between the brothers Suisei and Raijin, Motohide wouldn't interfere. Since childhood, the two brothers had always been bickering like this.

With that, Motohide carrying Samehada left the place.
