Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

If he won, he could plunder Konoha's supplies to keep fighting. If he lost, he'd negotiate with Konoha for aid.

Hanzō wouldn't be that foolish, would he?

Amegakure must have other supply routes. Maybe those were intercepted too.

When it comes to intelligence gathering, Amegakure couldn't compare to Konoha.

Difficulty in gathering intelligence would mean being at a constant disadvantage.

Could Amegakure be planning a fierce attack on the position where Orochimaru and the others were stationed?

"Xin, do you think Amegakure is planning to attack our camp?" Nawaki asked.

"Impossible. The camp is too far away. At most, they'd target the territory we've occupied. Haven't you already formed a contract with a summoning beast? Get it to inform Orochimaru to prepare for a tough battle."

This was no time for jokes. If they could send a warning, they should do it, to avoid Orochimaru, Tsunade, and the others from getting caught off guard.

In the original story, they were almost cornered, with Jiraiya nearly dying, saved only by the timely arrival of Konoha reinforcements.

As much as Danzo might scheme, he wouldn't dare pull any tricks in such a critical situation.

If Danzo really wanted Tsunade and the others dead, he could have simply delayed the deployment, and the three would never have earned the title of "Sannin."

Xin and his team couldn't detour to deliver the message themselves, as doing so would only put them right into the enemy's trap.

The only option was to rely on a summoning beast to send the message.

Luckily, the toads of Mount Myoboku and the snakes of Ryuchi Cave were good at tasks like these.

Now that they were out of the enemy's reconnaissance range, Xin urged Nawaki to quickly notify Orochimaru.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Nawaki's frustrated expression, his face contorted as if constipated, Xin couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

"Don't tell me you're waiting for me to perform the summoning?"

If you dare say yes, I'll smack you, believe it.

"Maybe his summoning beast isn't cooperating," Minato, who shared the experience, offered an explanation.

"That's nonsense!"

Nawaki jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"How could I, Nawaki-sama, be troubled by something like this? I'm just worried that the summoned creature might not obey."

Really?

Xin thought to himself, unimpressed.

Neither of them had room to talk. Especially you, Minato.

You're in no position to laugh at Nawaki. At least Nawaki has enough chakra to summon a sizable snake.

And your toad?

It's so small it wouldn't even make a decent snack if you tried to roast it.
