In the meeting room of the Northwest Wood Leaf stronghold's stronghold, Kato Mitsukaze was standing in front of the podium with a serious expression. Behind him were the leaders of the other strongholds, including Akimichi Takeshi.
Kato Mitsukaze's voice was sonorous, concise, and clear as he called out the names of the Shinobu Kiba who had been transferred to the northern defensive line one by one.
"Kensuke Sarutobi, Takuya Shimura, Masato Yamanaka, Kato Naoshu … Hatsuki Shigeru …"
Kato Mitsukaze only stopped after he had called out ten Shinobu Kiba's names in a row.
Any more and it would affect the stability of the Wood Leaf stronghold's western defensive line against the Sand Village's army.
Akimichi Takeshi's request to Kato Mitsukaze was to defend the Wood Leaf stronghold's current defensive line in the north, which was near the border between the two countries. By agreeing to transfer ten Shinobu Kiba and their original subordinates from the western defensive line, it was already the greatest support Kato Mitsukaze.
It was not that Kato Mitsukaze had not thought of transferring Tsunade to the northern defensive line, but after considering the issue of the Sand Puppet Master's poison antidote, he decided to leave her behind at the stronghold's stronghold.
Orochi Maru and Jiraiya also stayed behind at the western defensive line out of consideration for the tacit understanding between them and Tsunade.
Most of the people Kato Mitsukaze called out were Shinobu Kiba from the major Wood Leaf strongholds. Among his classmates, he only asked for Hatsuki Shigeru's help.
For Kato Mitsukaze, it was relatively easy to defend Wood Leaf's current defensive line, but if he wanted to counterattack the Rain Kingdom, he needed a reliable helper. Kato Mitsukaze was very familiar with Hatsuki Shigeru's abilities, and he could serve as his helper.
After Kato Mitsukaze stood on the rostrum and finished the roll call, he briefly talked about the assembly time and departure time and other related matters. He didn't say too much nonsense. After asking the camp leader Takeshi Akimichi's opinion, he hurriedly ended this emergency meeting.
There were many Shinobu Kiba sitting in the meeting room. They had all squeezed out some time to come back from the frontlines. They were all busy people and could not leave their posts for a long time.
Kato Mitsukaze was also very busy. Although the camp's leadership had already decided that he would lead the team to reorganize the northern defensive line, he still needed to discuss the details with the many staff officers in the camp.
It's certainly impossible to gather the troops and directly attack the Rock Village's defensive line. It's not like it's a rural fight between villages where farmers carry farm tools.
Well, it's indeed a battle between the Wood Leaf Hidden Village and the Rock Hidden Village, but these two villages are not so much two small villages, but the scale is a bit too big. It's better to say that it's a war between the two major armed forces in the Shinobi World.
It will take time for the scattered ninja forces in the northern front to reorganize and reorganize, and it will also take time for the reinforcements from the western front to arrive.
It will take a day or two for the main forces to arrive at the northern front. Kato Mitsukaze, who is now the first person in charge of the northern front, has to immediately leave for the northern border of the Rain Kingdom and the Fire Country.
There was a Wood Leaf Ninja force stationed there, Kato Mitsukaze has to go there as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Rock Village's forces cross the border and invade the Fire Country, then Kato Mitsukaze's bragging in the meeting will be ruined.
"Tsunade."
Kato Mitsukaze called Tsunade's name. As soon as he left the meeting room, he saw Tsunade, Orochi Maru, and Jiraiya waiting for him in the corridor.
Kato Mitsukaze stepped forward and held Tsunade's small hand, nodded to Jiraiya and Orochi Maru as a greeting, and they chatted while walking.
Jiraiya, who has the most outgoing personality, was the first to speak, "Kato Mitsukaze, I thought you would mention our names, but you only mentioned Hatsuki Shigeru among our classmates."
Jiraiya, like Kato Mitsukaze, was also wearing Shinobu Kiba's standard equipment, but he didn't wear a Jonin Vest, but a gray Jonin Armor.
It's rare that he didn't see the orange skinned toad that always accompanied him on Jiraya's body.
Unlike Kato Mitsukaze's clean and tidy clothes, Jiraiya's body was covered with dust and scratches, and his iconic white hair was messy, and there were even traces of knots in some places. Obviously, he just came back from the front line.
Orochi Maru, who was standing beside Jiraiya, was wearing almost the same clothes as Jiraiya. His iconic straight black hair was still dazzling, but his body was also covered with dust and scratches, which covered Orochi Maru's feminine aura and replaced it with a murderous aura.
Hearing his teammate's question, Orochi Maru also turned to look at Kato Mitsukaze and asked, "Kun Kato, are you sure we can resist Rock Village's attack from the north?"
Tsunade didn't ask anything, she just clenched Kato Mitsukaze's big hand with her small hand, while staring at him with her big round eyes.
"You two know my strength. Rock Village took advantage of the bad weather in the Rain Country to attack us, and that's why we lost the northern defense line."
Kato Mitsukaze squeezed Tsunade's small hand to comfort her, and then answered Orochi Maru's question.
Orochi Maru and Jiraiya recalled the detailed battle report they just read in the meeting, and it was indeed as Kato Mitsukaze said. If Rock Village didn't use a large number of explosive tags to blow up Wood Leaf's camp, with Kato Mitsukaze's speed, Rock Village might not have succeeded.
"As for why I didn't transfer you two to the North to help me, it's because Wood Leaf's forces are really tight at this time, and the other reason is that after I go to the North, I'm worried about Tsunade's safety.
She's studying the antidote to the Sand Puppet Master's poison, so she definitely needs to go to the West from time to time. You two have been with Tsunade for many years, and you have a tacit understanding with each other. With you two by Tsunade's side, I can rest assured. "
Kato Mitsukaze answered Jiraiya's question, but his eyes were staring at Tsunade who was holding his hand.
"Orochi Maru, what's with the murderous aura on you?"
"It's nothing, I just killed a group of Sand Village's people last night."
Orochi Maru was a little stunned when he heard Kato Mitsukaze's words, and then he restrained his murderous aura. He didn't want to talk about him, so he asked:
"I just heard Tsunade say that you're going to push back the Rock Village's defense line?"
"Orochi Maru, you should pay attention, don't be blinded by your murderous aura. In war, killing the enemy is not the goal, killing the enemy is just a means to victory. I don't want my friend to become a ruthless machine that only knows how to kill."
Kato Mitsukaze pointed at Orochi Maru and then answered his other question.
"As for the counterattack on the Rock Village's main force, I do plan to do that, but I'll definitely focus on stabilizing the current defense line first. I'll think about the counterattack in the long run …"
Then Kato Mitsukaze picked what he could say and explained his plan to his two old classmates, Orochi Maru and Jiraiya.
Tsunade didn't join the men's conversation, she silently pulled Kato Mitsukaze's big hand, but she did a lot of little tricks.
Just when Kato Mitsukaze said that he was worried about Tsunade's safety, Tsunade held Kato Mitsukaze's small hand and playfully scratched his palm. Seeing that he didn't respond, she secretly scratched his palm from time to time while Kato Mitsukaze and others were chatting.
Kato Mitsukaze answered the question of playing with Orochi Maru. Looking at Orochi Maru and Jiraiya's serious face, he felt funny and couldn't help but scratch Tsunade's palm.
Still not satisfied, while walking, while Tsunade was scratching his palm, he suddenly pulled Tsunade's delicate body to his side and skillfully put his big hand around Tsunade's slender waist.
Tsunade was caught off guard by Kato Mitsukaze's sudden naughtiness. After stabilizing her body, she glanced at the two teammates beside her and secretly rewarded Kato Mitsukaze with a big sanitary eye and pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
"Hey, you two, pay attention, you're in public, Orochimaru and I are still here. If you two want to flirt, can't you find a more private place?"
Although Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade didn't speak directly, and their intimate interactions were quite secretive, Orochi Maru and Jiraiya were not blind. Both of them were strong enough to not lose to Kato Mitsukaze. Naturally, it couldn't be hidden from their eyes.
In fact, it was all Kato Mitsukaze's fault. Looking at Tsunade's eyes full of doting, he couldn't hide it.
In other words, Kato Mitsukaze didn't intend to hide it at all. The sweet smell of dog food stimulated Jiraiya, an old single young man, to the point that he couldn't stand it and complained.
"You have a problem? Even if you have a problem, you can hold it. Who told you to not have a girlfriend?"
Kato Mitsukaze ignored the opinion of the annoying white-haired Jiraiya. After that, he still felt that it wasn't enough. He pulled Tsunade and kissed her forehead.
Then he said, "Are you envious? I'm envious that you can also find a girlfriend. Fooling around with so many women, when will it end? "
"You're so bad!"
After all, in front of two old teammates, Jiraiya and Orochi Maru, Tsunade was still a little shy. She scolded Kato Mitsukaze in a low voice. At the same time, the small hand around his waist pinched the place she had just pinched.
Tsunade's pinch was fierce, but Kato Mitsukaze's face was as usual, as if nothing happened. He hugged Tsunade tightly and walked forward.
"Really! I can't stand you two! I rushed back to the camp for a meeting early in the morning without breakfast. Now I'm almost full of dog food from you two! "
Jiraiya couldn't stand Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade's joint act of feeding dog food. He cursed and left the team.
"What girlfriend? A woman will only affect my enthusiasm for writing novels. There are so many beautiful girls in the Shinobi World waiting for me to collect. How can I, the famous wandering toad Sennin, be tied by a woman?"
After Jiraiya walked away, Kato Mitsukaze and the others could still hear his complaints.
Orochi Maru didn't care about the problem of eating dog food. He was a future hermaphrodite, and he was very open-minded about the love between men and women.
In Orochi Maru's eyes, a woman may not be as attractive as a ninjutsu or secret technique that he had never seen before.
Orochi Maru didn't care about eating dog food. He was a smart person, and he certainly wouldn't stay here and be a third wheel. He stayed here to wait for Kato Mitsukaze because he was concerned about the Northern Defense Line. Now that he knew that Kato Mitsukaze was confident that he could handle it well, he was relieved.
Now that Jiraiya was gone, Orochi Maru was also ready to leave.
It wasn't easy for Orochi Maru and Jiraiya to return to the Northwest Army Camp from the front line. In addition to the meeting, there were a lot of other chores to deal with. After that, they had to rush back to the front line again.
"Oh, Kun Kato, then I won't be an eyesore here."
Orochi Maru's hoarse voice sounded, and his bright yellow snake eyes looked at Tsunade's small hand that was pinching Kato Mitsukaze's waist with a smile.
"Don't worry about Tsunade's safety, Kun Kato, Jiraiya and I will definitely be fine. The three of us have been teammates for many years, and if we really encounter danger on the battlefield, it's not certain who will protect who, Tsunade or us?"
After Orochi Maru put away the murderous aura around him, he looked a lot happier. Looking at his close friends playing and joking with each other, Orochi Maru's mood improved a lot, and he even made fun of Tsunade.
After Orochi Maru finished speaking, he no longer stood here like a third wheel. No, he no longer paid attention to Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade, and chased after Jiraiya.
"Yufeng, did you hear that? I'm very strong. I was promoted to Shinobu Kiba more than half a year earlier than you. Don't always think of me as weak!"
"Have you forgotten my Monstrous Ninjutsu? Have you forgotten my fist?"
Tsunade looked at the backs of her two teammates in the distance, and recalled the scene of the three of them fighting side by side. Thinking of the scene where she threw Jiraiya over her shoulder, she raised her fist and waved it in front of Kato Mitsukaze's eyes, and complained.
"Yes, yes, yes, my princess is the strongest!"
Kato Mitsukaze retracted his gaze from Orochi Maru and Jiraiya, and glanced at the white and tender little fist in front of him, and coaxed Tsunade.
"I'm serious!"
Tsunade heard Kato Mitsukaze's coaxing tone, and was a little dissatisfied. She waved her fist and was about to hit his chest, ready to let her boyfriend have his long-lost love with her little fist.
Kato Mitsukaze was quick, and caught Tsunade's little fist with his big hand, pulled it back to his lips, and gently kissed Tsunade's fist, as if kissing a precious porcelain.
Kato Mitsukaze was used to being shameless, or rather, he was thick-skinned enough to be intimate with Tsunade without looking at the place. At this time, the two of them were not far away from the conference room. They were in a public place, and from time to time, there were Wood Leaf Ninjas passing by in a hurry.
Just now, Jiraiya was scared away by the sweet dog food, otherwise, he would be stuffed now.
Tsunade's cheeks were not as thick as Kato Mitsukaze's. The Wood Leaf Ninjas passing by were intimidated by Kato Mitsukaze's power and did not disturb them, but Tsunade's cheeks turned red in a short time.
Kato Mitsukaze was shameless. In just a short time, he was not satisfied with kissing her fist, and he was already sucking Tsunade's two tender fingers.
Kato Mitsukaze did not dare to go too far. When Tsunade was about to explode, he finally let go of her little hand. Then the two of them went to the hospital in the camp to visit Kato Mitsukaze's three poor apprentices.
Later, Kato Mitsukaze said goodbye to Tsunade in the hospital, and after returning to his office to pack up his equipment, he took several subordinates and rushed to the northern defense line near the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire.
There, Kato Mitsukaze didn't know that he would be greeted by the Rock Ninjas led by the Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki.
