Tsunade really didn't know what to say. Should she tell him to follow the village's arrangements and not to complain?
Tsunade couldn't bring herself to say something like that; she didn't have that kind of thick skin.
Although he was quite shameless in escaping his gambling debts.
But Tsunade didn't say she wouldn't pay it back; she will eventually do so.
So she remained silent when confronted with Bai Mu's questioning.
"Can't Lady Tsunade answer?"
As Bai Mu said this, he also cast an aggressive look at Tsunade.
"Kid, go to the front lines first. I'm taking Shizune with me." Tsunade avoided answering, instead leaving behind this sentence before hurriedly setting off.
"She's running away, but does that count as convincing her?"
Esdeath didn't speak, but followed Tsunade as she left. Alice Lise, on the other hand, asked Bai Mu for his insights.
Bai Mu said calmly, "As long as the people arrive, that's fine. I'll arrange for people to spread the news. Besides, it's not just our Uchiha ninjas at the headquarters; other ninja clans from the village are there too, as are the Hyuga clan ninjas. Someone will notify the village."
He paused, then added, "Besides, once someone arrives, they're no longer in control of their own destiny. If Hiruzen Sarutobi gets the news, he'll definitely become suspicious and immediately send someone to invite Tsunade back. And given Tsunade's personality..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's haste, or rather his fear that Tsunade and the Uchiha clan might actually unite, would naturally provoke Tsunade's resentment, which would undoubtedly cause her to rebel, and then she would most likely turn against him.
"This puts too much hope on Tsunade herself, it doesn't seem very safe." Hearing this, Alice Lise had some doubts, and she spoke frankly.
Bai Mu shrugged and said casually, "It's okay. The moment the person shows up, we've already won, because the rumors have already started, and don't forget that someone will help us."
"That Danzo?"
Alice Lise understood.
The fact that someone helped with this matter can only be attributed to Danzo's machinations.
In reality, Konoha has countless enemies, and Danzo deserves the most credit. This guy is ambitious but incompetent. He dreams of becoming Hokage and uses all sorts of methods, but the problem is that a black glove wants to stand in front of others.
Isn't this a dream?
Furthermore, their methods were too underhanded.
Alice Lise looked down on her completely.
The other side's political tactics are far too naive.
Bai Mu's words made Alice Lizard understand that Tsunade's identity was so special, and Danzo was so eager for the Hokage position, so it was inevitable that he would take action against Tsunade. So, despite the master-disciple relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade's prejudice against the Uchiha, if Danzo's actions went too far, it would naturally make Tsunade change her mind.
Furthermore, can Tsunade really tolerate Danzo's actions?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. So it is indeed possible to completely win Tsunade over to their side by relying on that idiot Danzo. It's a possibility...
Well, Alice Lise admired Bai Mu's plan; it was quite intricate. But man proposes, God disposes, and many things are unpredictable!
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's hard to say that we can control things so much. Scripts are hard to execute well, just like this time... Speaking of which, will there be any more attacks on our way back to headquarters?"
Alice Lise has something to say: the script may not unfold as we wish. For example, on the way back, we might be attacked again!
Chapter 9 Encountering the Hidden Mist
It is located in the dense forest in the northwest of the Land of Whirlpools.
Dozens of figures stood densely packed on the trees, their headbands from Kirigakure indicating that they were Kirigakure ninja.
"Is your mouth really that sharp?" Bai Mu couldn't help but tease Alice Lise.
You said there would be unforeseen circumstances and things wouldn't go smoothly; that we might be attacked on the way back, and it really happened. You're such a jinx; your prediction came true.
"It has nothing to do with me!"
Alice Lise quickly denied it, a blush spreading across her face.
"She said that? That's great, Alice. You should say it more often in the future. I like it." Esdeath smiled bloodthirstyly upon hearing this, feeling extremely excited.
Tsunade:"???"
Is this guy crazy?
She really couldn't understand Esdeath's current state. She was surrounded by people, and yet she could still laugh.
And you seem quite happy about it; you don't seem like a normal person at all.
"What's going on with her?"
Tsunade frowned, and had no choice but to ask about Bai Mu's situation. It seemed that this woman was not quite right, and she didn't want to be a burden to them.
"Lady Tsunade, you can rest assured, things will be easily resolved." Bai Mu was not worried about Esdeath, and planned to let Esdeath deal with most of the Kirigakure ninjas, and if there were any left who escaped, then it would be his turn.
As for Tsunade, she and Alice Lise can just stand and watch the show; she doesn't need to get involved.
"You mean, she took care of so many Kirigakure ninjas by herself?" Tsunade was quite surprised upon hearing this, having already understood what Bai Mu meant.
Bai Mu shrugged and said calmly, "Of course, but if any escapees, I'll handle them. You and Alice can just stand aside and watch; she'll protect you."
"No, are you treating me like a piece of trash?" Tsunade was very dissatisfied upon hearing this, her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Bai Mu with displeasure.
"They're not useless, but rather they don't need Lady Tsunade to use her skills yet. These people aren't qualified to fight Lady Tsunade," Bai Mu explained.
Tsunade:"……"
What should I say?
They've praised me so much, giving me so much face, but is this still the Uchiha clan?
No, no, Second Grandfather can't be wrong. The Uchiha are inherently evil; this is their trick.
"Why are there so many ninja from Kirigakure? The main camp of Konoha is right ahead, and there are dozens of enemies lying in ambush here. Does this make sense?"
Tsunade raised questions, arguing that there was something wrong with this approach.
Bai Mu continued to explain, "The route we took was a bit off; it was closer to the enemy's base in Wuyin. Perhaps that gave the enemy time to mobilize. After all, the commotion you made on your journey was quite significant, so it was naturally detected."
"Are you saying that I was wrong?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
"Lady Tsunade, this is not important," Bai Mu said casually to Tsunade.
What does "not important" mean?
That's utter nonsense.
Although Tsunade was furious, the ninjas of Kirigakure were even angrier; they hadn't expected their enemy to be so arrogant.
"You brat, how dare you be so arrogant! You Uchiha brat, you're asking for death!"
The ninjas from Kirigakure immediately started shouting.
Bai Mu and Tsunade were talking as if no one else was around.
This undoubtedly provoked this group of people.
Besides, that's Tsunade!
If they could kill or capture them, the blow to Konoha would be unimaginable, and it would be a great achievement that no one would be unwilling to do. Moreover, there are quite a few elite ninjas from Kirigakure among them.
There are quite a few bloodline limit ninjas, such as Kaguya and Hozuki, who are famous bloodline limit ninja clans in Kirigakure. Apart from these ninja clans, the rest should be Kirigakure's Anbu and some elite Chunin.
There are at least fifty people, nearly sixty, in total.
The combination of over fifty elite Kirigakure ninjas clearly represents a significant investment.
There are ninja clans, ANBU, and a group of elite Chunin as a checkpoint.
Such a powerful combination was clearly premeditated.
Is it Madara Uchiha? This is information provided by White Zetsu.
Madara Uchiha is determined to come for me.
I am not worthy of his attention.
Is it because of Esdeath and the others?
Or is it that old schemer Black Zetsu?
Well, that's hard to say...
"This combination is a huge investment. It doesn't seem like..." Tsunade looked thoughtful. She wasn't stupid and quickly realized the problem.
She looked at Bai Mu and said, "It seems you came here for me, and I was just an afterthought, so this is your fault!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu smiled and said, "Lady Tsunade, we are all ninjas of Konoha. The enemy is ninja from Kirigakure. They are coming for us, not for any one particular group."
"Hmph, it's all for you. Are you just going to watch that woman go it alone?" Tsunade sneered, not agreeing with Bai Mu's statement.
She figured out that the person was after Uchiha Hakumoku, so that already explained the situation. Anyway, Tsunade didn't think she was wrong.
"Don't worry, Esdeath can handle it," Bai Mu said calmly, his words filled with absolute trust and confidence in Esdeath.
"You really believe her."
Tsunade frowned slightly, still not quite believing it.
Although she called him an inherently evil Uchiha brat, Bai Mu and these two women saved her, so Tsunade is not the kind of person who doesn't repay kindness.
No matter what, the Uchiha are a ninja clan of Konoha, belonging to Konoha. Now that they are facing Kirigakure, they must unite against a common enemy.
The Hidden Mist ninjas could no longer tolerate it. Haku and Tsunade were talking arrogantly, Alice and Lizard were acting casually, and Esdeath stood alone at the front, seemingly ready to take on all of them single-handedly.
All of this has already provoked the group of Hidden Mist ninjas. How dare they be so rampant when they are surrounded?
This is intolerable; it's impossible to tolerate.
They launched the first surprise attack.
Naturally, it is hidden by mist.
Several Kirigakure ninjas quickly formed hand seals and activated their most commonly used ninjutsu, which was also Kirigakure's favorite ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Kirigakure Jutsu!"
The fog enveloped the forest almost instantly.
