Chapter 547: Battle in the Land of Iron
"It's been a long time since the three of us fought side by side, hasn't it?"
Jiraiya moved swiftly through the forest, glancing at Tsunade and Orochimaru beside him.
For a moment, it felt like they had returned to their younger days.
"It's been over ten years," Tsunade mused, unable to pinpoint the exact time.
"Fourteen years," Orochimaru stated calmly, giving the precise answer.
Though he appeared indifferent, he had always been the most meticulous of the three.
"Haha, I knew it had been a while, but I didn't realize it was that long."
Jiraiya's hearty laughter startled a flock of birds into flight.
"When you three made a name for yourselves during the Second Shinobi World War, I was just a small-time nobody."
"I never imagined I'd one day fight alongside you."
Fugaku, who had been trailing slightly behind, smiled and joined the conversation.
