Chapter 137:
Although Jiraiya had heard of Hanzo's fearsome reputation, he was the type to thrive on challenges. Facing off against a powerful opponent wasn't something that scared him, it excited him. For Jiraiya, this was the kind of glorious task that a true ninja should embrace. Knowing how important it was to stop Hanzo, his fighting spirit burned even brighter.
Nara Hakushu, meanwhile, was focused on the strategy at hand. After laying out the offensive plan, he continued discussing the finer details.
"The general attack is scheduled for tomorrow morning," Hakushu explained. "I'll make sure to inform everyone of the exact time when it's confirmed."
"One more thing—make sure you bring Tsunade-sama's antidote potions with you. There are several types depending on the poison, and the supply is limited. Be careful not to mix them up."
"Got it. If anyone has additional questions, speak now," Hakushu concluded.
"I have one," Inuzuka Zen said, raising his hand.
"Go ahead."
"Do we really need to bring antidotes to deal with the Iwa Ninja? They're not known for using poison."
"Good question," Nara Hakushu nodded. "But yes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Intelligence suggests that the ninja of Amegakure also use poison, and they're unpredictable. Even if we're facing Iwa Ninja, make sure to have some antidotes ready."
