"You two don't need to follow me, just stay here." Bai Mu didn't intend to give Esdeath a chance to follow, and immediately spoke up.
"No."
Esdeath objected.
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Stay here." Bai Mu turned and left the tent, leaving behind this sentence, clearly indicating that Esdeath was not allowed to object.
……
And in the quiet tent for rest.
Tsunade finally saw her disciple, and before her Shizune could speak, she launched into a barrage of questions.
"Shizune, are you alright? That Uchiha brat named Bai Mu didn't do anything to you, did he? You need to be careful of that kid..."
"That's no good person!"
Just as Tsunade finished speaking, Bai Mu's voice rang out from inside the tent: "Lady Tsunade, how does it feel to talk badly about someone behind their back and have the person involved hear it?"
"I don't feel anything."
Tsunade replied without changing her expression.
Of course, compared to Tsunade's composure, Shizune was relatively embarrassed, unsure of what to say, and could only stammer in place, her gaze shifting back and forth between Tsunade and Hakuba.
"Um, Lady Tsunade, you..."
Tsunade waved her hand, looked at Shizune with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "If you can't speak, then don't speak. Shizune, you can go out now."
Silent opened her mouth, pointed to herself, and asked, "Should I go out?"
"What are you doing?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said to Shizune again, "I have something to say to this brat. You stay outside for now."
"Lady Tsunade, you specifically sent your disciple away. I wonder if there's something you want to tell me?" Bai Mu asked with a smile as he watched Shizune leave.
"What is it? You know it yourself. You're quite ambitious, aren't you? What exactly are you trying to do?" Tsunade walked up to Shiro, once again trying to gain the upper hand in the conversation by intimidating him with her aura.
However, Tsunade's move was ineffective, and instead allowed Bai Mu to admire Tsunade's voluptuous figure even more unscrupulously.
Where are your eyes looking?
Tsunade said through gritted teeth.
I'm talking to you, and you're looking around so brazenly, your eyes wandering everywhere. You're really audacious. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?
Bai Mu sensed Tsunade's furious gaze and clenched fists, but his face remained calm as he calmly said, "Lady Tsunade, it's because you got too close. The reason I came to see you is that Kirigakure might launch a surprise attack, and we must make some preparations. I hope Lady Tsunade will personally come to the battlefield as the commander-in-chief to lead the Uchiha and Hyuga clans' ninjas and civilian ninjas in their operations."
On the battlefield against Kirigakure, the main force consisted of the Uchiha clan, with a small number of Hyuga clan ninjas used for reconnaissance.
There are also some commoner ninjas, but the ninjas here are mainly from ninja clans, and there are relatively few commoner ninjas. They can be said to be just there for show, and the main damage output comes from the ninja clan members.
Among them, the Uchiha clan was the main fighting force.
Tsunade stared intently at Bai Mu, unsure of what to say for a moment.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "You mean I'm going to be the commander-in-chief? Do you think the Uchiha clan will submit? Kid, don't oversimplify things."
You're not even the clan leader yet, and you're so young, what are you thinking?
Yes, you seem to have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan; your strength is undeniable.
Also, those two women next to you...
After thinking of Esdeath and Alice Lise, Tsunade also became wary of them. The two were definitely not weak and were almost on par with the Kage.
He definitely has the strength of a Jonin, that's no exaggeration.
Moreover, those two women's ninjutsu was rather strange.
It seems to be the power of Ice Release, but it doesn't require hand seals.
And Alice Lizard said it wasn't ninjutsu.
That makes things hard to figure out.
Although Bai Mu said that he did not awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, he told me that the Uchiha ancestors could use Susanoo without awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, and talked about bloodline reversion.
Goodness, do you think I believe you or not?
Tsunade, of course, didn't believe it. Besides, the person's statement was so absolute, and Bai Mu's Sharingan hadn't changed at all; it was still in the three-tomoe form. So, she couldn't be sure.
Therefore, she used the word "doubtful," but in reality, she still suspected that Bai Mu had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Bai Mu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will support you."
How confident you are!
Where does this kid get his confidence from?
Tsunade could sense the confidence in Bai Mu's words, which puzzled her. She frowned and asked, "Do you have a lot of influence within the Uchiha clan?"
Bai Mu explained, "Because both the hawks and doves within the Uchiha clan are actually quite dim-witted. Some are too hard-lined, and some are too weak, and neither of these is acceptable."
"Oh?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, thoughtfully examining Bai Mu, before asking, "Which faction are you from?"
"Me? None of that."
Bai Mu shrugged and replied.
"Neither? I don't believe it." Tsunade expressed her disbelief.
Bai Mu continued, "I am indeed not. Because apart from the hawks and doves, there are also neutrals. These two factions are not very numerous, only a part of the population. The rest are neutrals who just want to live peacefully and do not want to get involved in these messy things."
The neutral faction is not that complicated. They just want to live a peaceful life, even if it's just maintaining the status quo. As long as it doesn't seriously harm the interests of the Uchiha clan, they can accept it.
This faction is quite large, but unfortunately, a certain weasel is unwilling to put aside his arrogance and listen to the voices of these more ordinary members of the clan. In Itachi Uchiha's eyes, the entire Uchiha clan is guilty. Whether they are hawks or not is irrelevant. In his definition, the Uchiha clan deserves to die.
Chapter 16 Konoha Shouldn't Be Like This
"So, you're saying you're neutral?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade realized that Bai Mu was probably not a neutral party.
“I am not.” Bai Mu shook his head, denying the claim, and then said, “I am a reformist.”
Reformers?
Are you a reformist?
Tsunade's expression changed instantly; she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Are you planning to do something to the Uchiha clan? Or are you going to do something even more radical, more radical than the Uchiha hawks?"
Tsunade couldn't help but think that way, because in her understanding, Bai Mu had most likely awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan was abnormal.
Why do I say that?
This was the conclusion reached by her second grandfather, and although Tsunade said she had a good impression of Bai Mu, despite her words about the Uchiha being born evil, she did indeed have some affection for him.
The reason is simple: the other party saved her, and Bai Mu didn't seem like the traditional Uchiha type—arrogant and eccentric...
Oh, you could say they're arrogant, but not as crazy as some other Uchiha. They're just very calm Uchiha, not the extreme kind.
However, Bai Mu's words still sent chills down her spine.
Reform isn't something you can just talk about. Who knows how this Uchiha brat plans to reform? Besides, he's suspected of having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so whether his mental state is even considered normal is unknown...
Given this situation, how could Tsunade not be frightened? She had to be careful and prevent Bai Mu from doing anything extreme.
If not handled properly, not only the Uchiha clan will suffer, but Konoha could also be affected, which is something Tsunade does not want to see.
Bai Mu said calmly, "I am not only a reformist within the Uchiha clan, but also a reformist in Konoha, because the village has now reached a point where it must be changed."
"These things are not something you can decide on your own," Tsunade said after a moment of silence, her face showing annoyance.
Whether there are problems or whether reform is needed, these are not things that you alone can decide. Besides, what's the use of you, an Uchiha, standing up and shouting for reform?
On the contrary, it will make people think that you have bad intentions, that you are rebelling in the name of reform, and that if you want to reform, you will inevitably be at odds with the original interest groups.
In this situation, how many people would actually be willing to stand by your side?
Based on my deduction, there are probably not many people.
You Uchiha people are not well-liked to begin with.
It's even less likely that they'll pull this stunt now.
And within your Uchiha clan...
Haha, I wonder how many people can actually support that?
Anyway, I don't approve of your approach. It's pure wishful thinking, a pipe dream, and a complete joke. This isn't me looking down on you, but it's the truth!
"Lady Tsunade, haven't you noticed? This is no longer the Konoha that the First Hokage created together with the Senju and Uchiha clans. Instead, it has become a tool for the power-hungry desires of certain individuals. The Will of Fire has been reduced to a brainwashing force, causing the younger generation and even children to be forced onto the battlefield. Can this still be the Konoha of the past?"
Bai Mu said slowly, "If the First Hokage knew, I'm afraid..."
"Shut up!"
Tsunade was furious.
She didn't want to hear any more of this. Besides, what was she, an Uchiha, talking about regarding the Will of Fire? It was utterly absurd. No matter how dark or wretched the village was now, it wasn't something an Uchiha could casually discuss.
Bai Mu looked directly at Tsunade and said in a deep voice, "Lady Tsunade, Konoha should not be like this. As members of the Senju and Uchiha clans, we have a duty to restore Konoha to its former state."
It shouldn't be like this, so what is it then?
My memory of what Konoha used to look like has long since become blurred.
Tsunade fell into deep thought, seemingly recalling the past, but as the image of her brother's tragic death appeared, she became uneasy again.
A hint of fear was visible in those beautiful eyes.
"Lady Tsunade, let's join forces. You will become Hokage, and we can change Konoha, and even the entire ninja world," Bai Mu said as he stepped forward.
His hand silently rested on Tsunade's shoulder, seemingly encouraging her and giving her confidence.
