Tsunade fell silent as well.
War... it was a subject she did not want to face.
She had lost too much in war.
Was Konoha going to be the one to start a war this time?
Orochimaru naturally understood what they were thinking. Among the shinobi living in Konoha, aside from Root, most were righteous and kind at heart.
