Chapter 95 The Executioners
  Hinata Yuuto put the cloak on his body, tied the ninja tool bag around his waist, and unfolded the seal scroll and tied it to his wrist.

"Turn back and look at me." Tsunade suddenly spoke, causing Hinata Yuuto to turn around and frown suddenly:

"The collars are all turned up..."

Hinata Yuuto lowered his head slightly and looked at the teacher who was absentmindedly fiddling with his collar - he was now taller than Tsunade.

The boy who separated from the family quite understood her mood. When many people's thoughts are agitated, they will subconsciously keep themselves busy. They can do anything, as long as they don't stop and think wildly.

"Teacher." Hinata Yuto said, staring at Tsunade's fair cheeks:
  "Although it's strange for me to say this...but I think you need to be stronger."

Tsunade remained silent and said nothing.

She and Orochimaru grew up together. After they first mastered the ninjutsu, the three of them ventured into the battlefield. After many years of life and death, they won such a great reputation. It was a bond born from real fighting!
  In Tsunade's mind, if there was a "ranking list of the most trustworthy companions", Orochimaru would definitely occupy a seat.

However, his former friend betrayed the village and exhumed his grandfather's body, bringing shame to the Will of Fire.

As a member of the execution team, he will capture or even kill Orochimaru and use his blood to sacrifice the flag!

Comrades in the past and enemies today, the fate of ninjas has never been clear.

"Tsunade-sensei." Hinata Yuuto spoke again, his tone becoming serious:

"Cheer up. You know how dangerous it is for someone with a shaky heart to go to the battlefield... not to mention, you have hemophobia."

"As long as you are human, you will have times when you are confused. And young man, you must learn to take care of women." Tsunade patted the boy's collar and continued:
  "As Orochimaru's comrade and the granddaughter of the First Hokage, I must go."

"But...teacher, is your hemophobia really okay?"

"When sensei became famous in the ninja world, you couldn't even refine chakra, you little brat."

Tsunade rubbed Hinata Yuuto's head and chuckled:
  "I'm not that fragile. Orochimaru must have known that such a day would come when he did such evil things."

While the two were talking, they had already walked out of the house and walked all the way out to the entrance of the village.

Outside the gate, there are already more than ten people waiting here.

Although the action was hasty, Sarutobi Hiruzen still assembled a team with sufficient combat power. Of course, because he was stationed here, most of the team members were auxiliary and reconnaissance types.

Hinata Yuuto saw the ANBU of the monkey face mask and nodded slightly as a greeting.

The atmosphere was a bit solemn, everyone knew what their group was going to do.

——Under the leadership of Lord Hokage, I will go to arrest the leader of the front line!
  Will Orochimaru, who committed this thing, be captured without hesitation? No one has an optimistic attitude towards this. A fierce battle is inevitable. It is said to be an arrest, but in fact it is no different from an execution. At least there will definitely be a fight.

Everyone felt depressed, not because they were afraid that the group would not be able to take down Orochimaru. With the Hokage and Tsunade in the team, they could not fail no matter what.

The key thing is, what should we do after we remove the commander of the army?
  Sarutobi Hiruzen also wore a cloak, but what was different from others was that there were flame-like patterns on the edges of his clothes. This was a special model for the Hokage to travel.

Feeling the dull atmosphere of the team, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said nothing.

For the sake of the village, he must take down Orochimaru, either imprison him forever or kill him on the spot. Based on his teacher's understanding of his apprentice, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the first outcome was infinitely close to zero.

The three ninjas were his pride. For Hiruzen Sarutobi, the will passed down between master and disciple was closer than blood. Dealing with his beloved disciple who he had watched grow up in person, Hiruzen Sarutobi had mixed feelings, even his mouth The tobacco leaves on the sides have lost their former flavor. But he knew he had to do this.

Respond to this rebellion with the strongest attitude, announcing to the world that "it is not the Will of Fire that is wrong, but Orochimaru"!
  Only by doing this, Konoha will not fall apart, and will continue to be twisted into a rope and devoted to the war.

In troubled times, it is a truth that every qualified leader understands.

As for the future... let's do it step by step. First calm down the turmoil before we can talk about anything else.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his pipe back into his pocket, said softly "Let's go", and led everyone to fly towards Yu no Kuni.

A few hours ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen had ordered that Jiraiya, who was fighting in the Land of Rain, be transferred back. During this period, Jiraiya would be in charge of Konoha's affairs.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not tell Jiraiya the specific reason. The distance from Konoha to the Land of Rain and the Country of Tang was about the same. When the execution team arrived at their destination, Jiraiya had almost just arrived in Konoha, so he chased him even if he wanted to. Not on.

After a series of operations, Hiruzen Sarutobi told everyone with his actions that he was still a young and vigorous Kage, with a line of masters and disciples full of talents, and an orderly inheritance.

The execution team were all experts, and the weakest guy was also a newly promoted Jonin. In addition, the frontline troops on the road from the Country of Fire to the Country of Tang were very well maintained, so the journey was smooth and no difficulties were encountered.

After entering the Kingdom of Yu, the team's speed slowed down a little. This was a tacit understanding among the experienced ninjas. In order to cope with the possible battle that followed, they must maintain sufficient chakra and physical strength.

When they were still thirty kilometers away from the Konoha camp, the team stopped. Most of this team was composed of ANBU, and they were very organized. Some people consciously went on guard, while others disappeared. It seemed that they were exploring information. .

As expected, the group met the scouts of the Konoha forces.

The Third Hokage revealed his identity and asked about Orochimaru's current situation. He did not let the scouts leave. Instead, he temporarily incorporated them into the team. Orochimaru's betrayal was a definite fact. Sarutobi Hiruzen must consider certain battles. The possibility of people being incited to rebel.

Along the way, Hinata Yuuto was a little confused.

——The Third Hokage is not afraid that Orochimaru will get the news and run away in advance?

But looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's appearance, Hinata Yuuto didn't ask. Besides, he had used Mask Mode to make trouble a few hours ago, and now he had to travel a long distance. He was already very tired and too lazy to say that much.

After resting for nearly an hour, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke:
  "Yuuto, you have been staying at the battlefield of Yuno Country for a long time. Where would Orochimaru usually be at this time?"

"Back to Hokage-sama, you should be at the Konoha Camp at this time."

"What is he most likely doing?"

"Reading documents, pondering maps and formations, teaching ninjutsu to subordinates, meeting with the leaders of various ninja clans here, and even preparing to assassinate enemy masters..."

"Anyway, just do what a good leader should do, right?"

"..." Hinata Yuuto didn't answer. It was difficult to answer this sentence. He simply bowed and went to look for Tsunade.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a long time without any expression. He just took out his pipe again, turned his back to his subordinates, and started smoking.

After resting for a while, the execution team set off again. This time, they stopped five kilometers outside the Konoha camp.

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the order to an ANBU:
  "Tell Orochimaru to come out to see me."
