Chapter 102
With Saitama’s nod of approval, Tsunade continued speaking.
"Although Saitama has already explored the location, as a precaution, I’ll be sending another investigation team tomorrow. Everyone here will help arrange it. Any volunteers?"
Tsunade rested her chin on one hand, her tone firm and authoritative, exuding the composure of a seasoned leader.
"Heh." Saitama smirked subtly, glancing at Shizune, who stood silently behind Tsunade.
Shizune could feel his gaze, but she maintained her composed posture, eyes fixed on the table in front of her. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks despite her efforts to stay focused.
"The Hyuga clan will dispatch two teams according to Tsunade-sama’s arrangements," said a composed voice. It came from Hyuga Shin, a branch house Jonin responsible for coordinating Hyuga forces at the front lines.
"Understood," Tsunade nodded and turned to the rest.
"The Uchiha clan will continue to assist," said Uchiha Tenaki. "Since we were among the first to discover this issue, we intend to see it through."
"The Aburame clan will send a bug-user to accompany the team," said a quiet voice from beside Hyuga Shin. The speaker, Aburame Ruifeng, was a calm figure in dark glasses, sitting upright and expressionless.
"Good," Tsunade acknowledged. Beside her, Mitokado Homura removed his glasses and placed them on the table.
"To ensure the integrity of the intel, we don’t need a large squad. However, the presence of the Hyuga and Aburame is essential," Homura said thoughtfully, eyes glinting with insight.
