After hearing what Orochimaru said, the scene was dead silent, you could hear a pin drop, and everyone fell into silence.

Knowing that this trip will result in a life-threatening situation, many people still want to seek death. Many people may be willing to go, but it is not easy to make up their minds. After all, everyone needs a certain psychological preparation to make this difficult decision.

At this time, the Jonin of the Akimichi clan broke the silence and shouted loudly: "Why me?!"

Hatake Sakumo walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder gently, and comforted him: "This is completely voluntary. If you are willing, you can go; if you are not willing, it doesn't matter!"

The Jonin of the Akimichi clan suddenly chuckled, and gradually the laughter became louder and louder, and finally turned into a roar of laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

He laughed so hard that tears almost came out, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"What a funny remark!"

He laughed as he spoke, his face full of sarcasm, "Now that we are here, do we have any other choice? Not going? Are we waiting to be targeted by those high-ups like a thorn in their side?"

"Sakumo! You are so naive!"

The Jonin of the Akimichi clan stopped smiling, turned around, and calmly scanned every Konoha ninja present, and said slowly: "I have the support of the Wind Clan Leader, so I don't have to take risks, but what are they going to do?!"

His words were full of helplessness and unwillingness.

When Hatake Sakumo heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to speak.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and stared at Orochimaru in disbelief, with shock and confusion in his tone: "Could it be that... you had already foreseen all this?!"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue slightly and licked his lips gently, then he swept his eyes over the many Konoha ninjas present and said calmly: "Everyone can rest assured that the top leaders will not make trouble because of whether you go or not. After all, the report materials for this operation were written by Lord Sakumo, are you still not confident in him?!"

After hearing this, a big stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.

If it is voluntary, there will naturally be people who will go forward without hesitation to carry out the mission, and even willingly sacrifice their lives for it; however, if they are forced to go, I am afraid no one will be willing to do so.

Orochimaru's snake-like cold eyes suddenly stared at the Jonin of the Akimichi clan. Just this glance made the Jonin feel a chill running through his bones, as if all the skin on his body had lost sensation in an instant, and cold sweat kept flowing down his back.

The jonin of the Akimichi clan was so frightened that he immediately retreated into the crowd and dared not say another word.

Just when everyone is still hesitating or trying to adjust their mindset.

Sheng Shu suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Teacher, I am willing to lure the enemy!"

Upon seeing this, Mighty Ken quickly reached out to grab the rope tree, looking at him with a puzzled look on his face.

Nawaki gently patted Might Ken's hand, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Don't worry, it's no big deal. Although it's a little dangerous, I am a man who aspires to become Hokage! How can I die so easily?"

Hearing this, Mightjian was completely speechless.

He muttered to himself, "You are the kind of person who can die easily! I just stopped watching you for a while and you started to act like a chuunibyou again."

At the same time, Tsunade's fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Nawase and Orochimaru, as if she was ready to rush up and beat them both up at any time.

Orochimaru remained expressionless. He simply said to Rope Tree and Might Ken: "You two come with me!"

After saying that, he turned and walked forward.

Rope Tree and Might Ken looked at each other, then followed Orochimaru silently.

Seeing this, Tsunade quickly followed.

Along the way, Might Ken felt that he had been walking for a very long time, until Orochimaru finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, they were in a remote corner and it was quiet all around.

Might Ken and Nawaki also stopped in their tracks. Orochimaru slowly turned his head, staring at Nawaki, and said in a serious tone: "Nawaki, this operation will definitely result in death! Do you really want to go with me?!"

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Rope Tree showed a very puzzled expression on his face, and then asked back: "Didn't you say before that there is a high probability of facing the risk of death in this operation, and it is just that the situation is more dangerous?!"

Then, Rope Tree turned his head and looked at Might Ken beside him, and continued: "And I have experienced countless extremely dangerous situations with Ken, but we finally managed to persevere!"

Orochimaru shook his head gently, still asking Rope Tree relentlessly: "But I'm telling you now, this is a one-way, death-defying operation, do you still want to participate in it?!"

At this moment, the original doubt in Sheng Shu's eyes gradually turned into confusion, but there was also a hint of fear in that confusion, but his eyes soon became firm again.

Sheng Shu gritted his teeth and answered resolutely: "I want to go! Since this is a mission that means I will die, let me use my life to exchange for the chance for other companions to survive!"

Orochimaru looked at Nawaki with an indescribable strange look in his eyes.

I sighed inwardly: How could I have such a stupid disciple!

Tsunade next to him didn't hesitate at all, she raised her fist and hit Nawaki's head hard.

Sheng Shu was caught off guard by the hit. He immediately squatted down in pain and pressed his head tightly with both hands. He felt a huge bump on his head.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” Sheng Shu groaned, his face twisted in pain.

Tsunade turned to face Orochimaru and asked in a serious tone, "Orochimaru, now that Rope Tree has volunteered to join the battle in front of everyone, what should we do?"

Orochimaru rubbed his temple, looking worried, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Let him go! But before that, I will let him sign a spiritual contract with Long Didong. If he encounters danger, we can use Long Didong's reverse spiritualism to bring him back safely."

Tsunade looked at Nawaki with worried eyes, even with this arrangement she still felt worried.

"But it's still very dangerous to do this!" she murmured to herself.

At this time, Maitejian stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go with Shengshu. With me by his side, at least he won't face too much risk."

However, Tsunade shook her head and firmly rejected the proposal.

"No, it's too dangerous. After Naoki signed a contract with Ryuchido, he may be able to return safely through reverse spiritualism. But if you follow him, how will you get back then?"

Might Ken said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, as long as the Third Kazekage or Chiyo doesn't come looking for me, I can't say I can defeat the others, but I can still escape!"

"Besides, with me here, Rope Tree won't be in danger without even enough time to reverse the spirit and return!"

Tsunade still shook her head. "I'd better go! I'm worried about the two of you. I'll go with Nawaki!"

Orochimaru interrupted, "Tsunade, you, Hatake Sakumo and I will all go, but we won't be with them!"

"Otherwise, the strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory will be useless!"

Maitejian continued to persuade: "Don't worry, it's okay, I will come back safely!"

Orochimaru tilted his head and looked at Might Ken, as if he was thinking about something, and then said: "As for Ken, there is a high probability that he can come back!"

Tsunade turned around and looked at Orochimaru and asked, "What do you mean?!"

Orochimaru said: "After all, the Sand Ninja's masters are entangled by us, and Chiyo will also be entangled by Hatake Sakumo. With Might Taken's body that is like a lump of iron, and his extremely fast physical technique, if you are careful, there is really no one who can stop him!"

After hearing this, Tsunade thought for a long time and considered all the famous ninjas among the Sand Ninja. She was relieved when she was sure that no one could stop Might Ken.

Might Ken raised a new question: "Even if we bring in the Sand Ninja, how do we deal with their poison?!"

Tsunade smiled confidently at this time: "I have a solution!"
