Chapter 272:
Tsunade's timing was remarkably fortunate. During this period, Orochimaru happened to be staying in the Sound Ninja Village to focus on some of his research.
This coincidence led her straight to him. However… save the village?
Hearing her request, Orochimaru paused for a moment before smirking. "Haven't I already been trying to save you? This Land of Forests… who knows what they were thinking, coming to attack my village?"
"If it weren't for wanting to conserve resources, I wouldn't even have bothered with a small country like theirs, with less than a thousand ninjas…"
The Land of Forests had a mere few hundred ninjas in total, hardly a threat to the Sound Ninja Village. If Chana hadn't been cautious and avoided acting without orders, the Land of Forests would likely have already been annihilated by now.

"What's wrong?" Orochimaru replied, feigning ignorance.
"I'm asking you to save Konoha! Save Konoha! The village is—"
"Tsunade."
