Although it was said that the two teams were conducting joint operations, Orochimaru did not choose to form a group for strategic deployment.
He directly chose a more dangerous plan.
He split the two teams of eight into three teams.
Tsunade is the first team.
She took two girls from the Hyuga clan and the Inuzuka clan to conduct a blanket search in this area.
In Orochimaru's words, even if we turn this place upside down, we must still find that small gold mine.
If he can't find it, he will report Tsunade's laziness during the mission to the Third Hokage.
Although Tsunade complained repeatedly about this, she had no choice but to lead the team honestly.
Uchiha Tatsu took the three scumbags, Mikoto Kushina and Naoki, as the third team.
They were stationed on the main road leading to the Rain Country. Of course, they are also relatively safe. After all, they only operate on the outermost edges.
Orochimaru was stationed alone as the second team between Tsunade and Uchiha Tatsumi.
The dangers of this approach skyrocketed.
You know, the other party has a team of one Jonin and several Chunin.
Except for her, a Jonin, the others in the team led by Tsunade were all ungraduated students.
Not even a genin, how could he be a match for those chuunin bosses.
Not to mention the Uchiha Tatsumi team. All are students of the ninja school.
It is truly one god with three pits.
But the benefits are also obvious. By placing several people separately, the efficiency and rigor of investigation will be greatly improved.
This plan is also very similar to Orochimaru's character.
Just like a poisonous snake hidden deep in the jungle, it is dangerous, but it can penetrate deeper.
In terms of completing the mission, Orochimaru was undoubtedly doing the right thing.
He didn't care about casualties.
Of course, as long as the people he cares about don't die.
After Orochimaru finished explaining Tsunade's team, he turned around and spoke to Uchiha Tatsumi.
He took out the detailed border map that he had prepared.
He pointed to the red marked part on the map and said: "There are a total of six transportation routes nearby that can quickly return to the Kingdom of Rain. The number is quite complicated."
"And most of the transportation routes do not intersect. Your team is responsible for monitoring this place." Orochimaru pointed at the map.
"Chen, you are very experienced. You must not let go of any clues." Orochimaru said seriously.
“If you feel something is going on, you can tell Slug immediately to ask for support.
"I will station and establish a second station near here. Although the members of your team are not strong enough, they are stationed at the outermost edge, which is also the safest place."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. He understood Orochimaru's intentions very well.
Orochimaru wears two hats, working two jobs on one person.
He established a second station not far from Tsunade and Uchiha Tatsu's team.
Supports Tsunade and Uchiha Tatsuo's team with high mobility.
Once there is a situation, he will rush there immediately.
At Orochimaru's speed, the entire border would only take a moment.
The seemingly simple distribution not only enables a thorough investigation of the surrounding situation, but also completely blocks the road back to the Land of Rain.
Uchiha Tatsu took the map and left with his members.
The fastest among the team were Uchiha Tatsumi and Mikoto, followed by Naoki.
After all, the three of them had received special speed training from Orochimaru some time ago.
Mikoto also has considerable attainments in Lei Dun. The activation of cells by Lei Dun makes her even faster than Rope Tree.
The slowest one is undoubtedly the kid Kushina.
Although Uchiha Tatsumi has taught Kushina a lot about the use and control of chakra in the past few years.
But her speed is still a notch behind Rope Tree.
It is obvious that Uchiha Tatsu has tried his best to take care of Kushina.
Although Tsunade is not a speed ninja, you are still a jounin after all.
Can I get some snacks
Of course, it could also be because Kushina's big and small bags were like luggage for a spring outing.
But fortunately, Kushina's physical strength is much better than the four of them, so Kushina can barely keep up.
Carrying so many things and still being able to barely keep up with them, Kushina is also a talent.
Uchiha Tatsumi explained the mission to the three of them as he walked.
"The main purpose this time is to monitor the assigned locations."
"According to Mr. Orochimaru, the location we are monitoring is relatively safer than Team Tsunade. But we cannot take it lightly."
"In the coming time, a few of us will live together for a period of time. We need to wait for the notification from the second resident Orochimaru teacher when to withdraw."
"What about the handover of information?" This is a question that Mikoto and the three of them are more concerned about.
"In terms of information transfer, I will get in touch with Mr. Tsunade and Mr. Orochimaru through Mr. Tsunade's slug every day."
"At that time, Mr. Orochimaru or Mr. Tsunade will communicate with us at a fixed time period. All we need to do is monitor."
"If there is urgent information during the investigation, you can just send the flare. Then I will notify Mr. Orochimaru."
"Ah, we're almost there." Uchiha Tatsu glanced at the map in his hand, compared it carefully, and said to the three people behind him.
"It's just ahead." More than two hours were enough for Uchiha Tatsu and the others to rush to this border area.
This is the junction of the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Fire. The unique forest area does look a bit majestic inside.
But none of them had time to appreciate these views.
Uchiha Tatsu stopped in a forest.
"In order to facilitate concealment and detection, our tent is set up in this forest."
Uchiha Tatsu said to Kushina and the others.
"Mikoto has the Sharingan, and Mikoto and I have better detective skills. Let's go explore the surrounding situation."
"Rope Tree, you go find a suitable place to set up your tent, that's all you need."
"As for the water source, Mikoto and I will try our best to find it. After all, the next period of time will be quite long, and the supplies we bring are not particularly sufficient."
"Okay." Naoki nodded. Currently, he did not have any ninjutsu or means of investigation.
Kushina has not awakened any sensory abilities such as Kagura's Heart Eye.
This distribution is undoubtedly more reasonable.
"We will be back in two hours. By the way, here is this flare for you. If we don't come back for more than two hours, Rope Tree, you can throw this flare into the air."
"What about me, Chen?" Kushina asked.
"As for Kushina, just go and collect some firewood. By the way, help Nao Shu set up the tent. If you have any questions, you can ask Nao Shu."
Uchiha Tatsu glanced at Kushina who was standing aside and said.
"Then, I'll leave the logistics to you." Uchiha Tatsu waved his hands to them and left the place with Mikoto.
"What to do next, Tatsu." Uchiha Tatsu was walking in the forest, not detecting traces of surrounding vegetation, nor looking for possible water sources.
He was running around in the forest as if he was lost, not knowing what he was looking for.
