Encounter Battle (Part 2)

As the current captain of a jōnin squad, Orochimaru had a clear grasp of Konohagakure's remaining jōnin numbers and overall situation. Konohagakure now had roughly 170 jōnin left. Okū Sarutobi could rank at least among the top fifty, perhaps even the top forty. The top thirty might be difficult, but among elite jōnin, he was fairly strong—roughly where Mito Uzumaki had been before learning the Flying Thunder God. Mito Uzumaki could now barely rank in the top ten. Because Minato Namikaze had already surpassed him.
