With Tsunade's usual brisk style, she would definitely have left as soon as she said so, needing only fifteen minutes to set out. However, her status was different now. The safety of an entire village rested on her shoulders, so even she had to make some compromises under these circumstances.
More importantly, she had to give her subordinates a chance to show what they could do. That would strengthen their mutual understanding and trust. Although Tsunade had once known Konoha intimately, and Konoha had known her just as well, she had been offline for N years. No matter what, they needed a process of "getting reacquainted."
A leader who let their subordinates fully demonstrate their value was a good leader. From that perspective, Tsunade needed to follow the security plan drawn up by the Anbu. Although she felt it was mostly pointless, it was still the emotionally intelligent thing to do.
That was different from impatiently dealing with a superior. As a superior herself, Tsunade had to adapt to and accommodate her subordinates.
Thus, by the time Tsunade set out, two days had already passed... No matter what, she had to finish handling Konoha's affairs, both major and minor, before she could leave. By then, the team accompanying her was already quite large. Aside from Tsunade herself, there was one Anbu squad openly carrying out the protection mission, two Anbu squads concealed in the shadows, and another Anbu squad serving as the advance scouts... There were sixteen Anbu Ninja in total.

Tsunade had originally wanted to experience "fast travel." Tigo had also reset the "TP" coordinates outside Konoha, but the Anbu rejected that proposal as
