Tsunade seemed to want to suppress him with her aura, but when she got closer to Bai Mu, she realized that this kid was very young, only a little over fifteen years old.
However, the boy in front of him was tall, at least 1.78 meters, much taller than himself. And don't forget that the other person was still young and growing. In a few years, he would probably be even taller. It would be abnormal if he wasn't 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall.
As a result, Tsunade found herself in an awkward position. Even wearing high heels, she was still a little shorter than her opponent. It was clear that relying on her aura to suppress her would not be effective.
"Hey kid, what are you looking at?"
However, Tsunade quickly noticed Bai Mu's gaze, which was completely undisguised, as if to say, "Are you really just staring at me like that?"
Bai Mu replied without changing his expression, "No, I just think that Lady Tsunade's prejudice is too great, and I am troubled about how to get Lady Tsunade to get rid of this prejudice."
“Prejudice? I have no prejudice.”
Tsunade snorted coldly and took a few steps back without making a sound.
She paused for a moment, then said, "You little pervert, staring at me like that, do you think it's big?"
"Indeed, it is very big." Bai Mu readily admitted it, which was nothing to be ashamed of, as it was the truth.
Then, before Tsunade could react, he added, "I'm an honest person, so I'll definitely tell the truth."
There's nothing I can do; I'm a good kid, an honest good kid, and I have to tell the truth when I should.
Tsunade was furious when she heard Bai Mu say such a shameless thing, and immediately shouted angrily, "Big, is that it? Do you want to touch it?"
Esdeath remained indifferent, simply standing behind Shiramaki and watching the show.
But Alice Lise clearly couldn't tolerate it, her face darkening: "What are you two doing?"
"Lady Tsunade, let's go to the camp first. This surprise attack by Kirigakure may have more to come. The Third Mizukage is cunning and shrewd. I think he might have more tricks up his sleeve. Let's go to the camp first."
Seeing this, Bai Mu knew he couldn't dwell on these trivial matters any longer, so he immediately suggested returning to the camp first to be wary of any further attacks from the Hidden Mist.
Then he continued, "As for your concern about the Mangekyou Sharingan, I can tell you that I haven't awakened it. Don't assume that I've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan just because I used Susanoo. You should know that if it were truly awakened, it would put a heavy burden on the eyes. I can't use it so frequently, especially since Susanoo puts a lot of strain on the eyes..."
"You said it yourself, how could you activate Susanoo without the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Tsunade didn't believe it at all. Her great-uncle was too familiar with the Uchiha clan, and even knew a bit about her.
The Mangekyou Sharingan—others might not know it, but how could I not?
Bai Mu explained, "The ancestors of the Uchiha clan didn't need to. The evolution of the Mangekyou Sharingan was just due to the dilution of bloodline, which puts too much strain on the eyes. I don't need such an evolutionary path. Moreover, it's not difficult for me to activate Susanoo with my eye power. Otherwise, I wouldn't use Susanoo so casually."
Finally, he added, "Furthermore, Lady Tsunade, the fact that I used Susanoo in front of you was to show my sincerity, which means that the basis of our cooperation is mutual trust."
"Are you kidding me?"
Tsunade thought it was outrageous.
You, an Uchiha, want to cooperate with me?
Forget it, I'm not getting involved in these things anymore.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to talk about this now. Let me see Shizune first. And now that I'm on the battlefield, I don't intend to leave like this."
Tsunade decided to go to the base first and make a decision after seeing Shizune, but she also told Hakumu that she would not leave easily, but this was mainly to repay a favor.
After all, you saved me. No matter what your purpose is, I, Tsunade, am not a shameless person. I still have to repay the favor. Besides, it is wartime now. Now that I have come to the front line, I can't just leave without saying a word, can I?
That's not possible.
Tsunade couldn't do it.
She's not that kind of person.
If you say you're not here, then that's fine.
If someone is already on the front lines, Tsunade really couldn't bring herself to run away without a word.
"However, I can say that I am only responsible for treating the wounded; please do not involve me in the fighting." Although Tsunade does not have hemophobia, she still suffers some trauma from her brother's death.
Therefore, she was only responsible for treating the wounded, but to say she went to the battlefield?
It's not that I can't go to the battlefield anymore, but rather that I can't.
It's just that the death of her younger brother left her with a lingering trauma.
Therefore, she did not want to go to the battlefield.
Chapter 13 Confident and arrogant? That's because I have the strength.
"I understand what Lady Tsunade is saying, and besides, there's no need for it."
As soon as Tsunade arrived at the base, Hakumu knew that he had achieved his goal.
Tsunade could also guess that Haku had ulterior motives, not to mention her own sensitive identity; if she appeared on the front lines of the Uchiha-led battlefield against Kirigakure...
There will definitely be public opinion behind the scenes, and my teacher will certainly be unable to sit still.
The old man grew more and more hypocritical with age, clinging desperately to power. The so-called "Suppressive Hero" had long since changed, and his hypocrisy and obsession with power undoubtedly deepened the darkness of the village...
Tsunade couldn't bear these dark aspects, which is why she chose to leave the village and wander outside. It wasn't just because of her brother's death, but also because of the changes in the village, the corruption at the top, and the changes in her teacher, the Third Hokage.
Although she didn't intend to participate, she was naturally a little annoyed to see Bai Mu so indifferent and saying that it wasn't necessary.
"Hmph, what a confident and arrogant brat."
Bai Mu raised an eyebrow and replied confidently, "That's because I possess great strength."
Confident and arrogant?
That's because I have the ability.
Since there were no outsiders present, Bai Mu didn't hold back. Esdeath and Alice Lise were his own people, and Tsunade was a designated member of his inner circle.
Therefore, there's nothing wrong with that statement.
"Let's go. Where is the camp? Besides you Uchiha, there are also Hyuga clan ninjas, right? Although the old man put you Uchiha on the battlefield against Kirigakure, no matter what his intentions are, if you want to win the war, you can't do anything outrageous. Small tricks are inevitable, that's an age-old principle, and it's always been the same, but to win the war, you can't do anything like that anymore."
Tsunade muttered to herself as she took the lead and walked forward, her voluptuous figure swaying gracefully, her back view truly captivating.
"Lady Tsunade, are you saying all this to put my mind at ease?" Bai Mu smiled slightly at Tsunade's words, and said thoughtfully.
"Interpret it however you like."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade paused and stopped, seemingly moved, but then left after saying a few words.
Seeing this, Esdeath stroked her chin, staring at Tsunade's retreating figure, and asked, "Are you sure her condition won't cause any trouble?"
Alice Lise added, "Yeah, are you really sure? Don't make things worse."
Bai Mu said calmly, "No, the ninja world ultimately respects strength. Esdeath, you should understand this principle!"
Esdeath glanced at Bai Mu with her beautiful eyes, a bewitching smile on her lips, and said, “That’s right. Strength is paramount everywhere, not just in the ninja world. Otherwise, how could you have subdued me? Because you are stronger than me, and you can be stronger than me, that’s why you conquered me.”
Alice Lise: "..."
That's incredibly straightforward, as expected of Esdeath.
She really didn't want to hear Esdeath's explanation, but there seemed to be no other way, so she remained silent.
Let's go first, we'll talk when we get to the camp.
……
Konoha's frontline outpost.
Inside the Uchiha clan's camp.
Actually, the battlefield located within the territory of the Land of Whirlpools was not the main battlefield; the main battlefields were located within the Land of Rivers and the Land of Grass.
In the Land of Grass, Kirigakure and Iwagakure are allied, while in the Land of Rivers, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are allied, because these two places are the main battlefields between Sunagakure and Iwagakure against Konoha.
On the Kirigakure side, a portion of their forces were deployed to join forces with Iwagakure and Sunagakure to launch an attack on Konoha.
Meanwhile, the Land of Whirlpools was mainly a defensive line between the two countries. Konoha did not want Kirigakure to launch a large-scale invasion of the Land of Fire, so they intercepted them within the territory of the already destroyed Land of Whirlpools.
The Hidden Mist Village agreed that they were worried that Konoha would launch a surprise attack on the Land of Water, using the Land of Whirlpools as a main base and bridgehead to invade the Land of Water, so they deployed Hidden Mist Village troops here.
The main purpose is to guard against each other.
However, Bai Mu was a bit too aggressive, and he turned this place into the main battlefield as the fighting progressed.
Meanwhile, in the Uchiha clan camp, led by clan head Fugaku Uchiha, a group of Uchiha clan ninjas followed behind him.
They stood at the entrance, waiting for Uchiha Hakubaku's arrival.
Of course, it wasn't to welcome Bai Mu, but to welcome Tsunade.
Bai Mu had arranged for someone to bring Jingyin back beforehand.
Incidentally, he also informed Uchiha Fugaku of the news.
Lady Tsunade is coming back!
Because something happened.
The person responsible for delivering the silence was one of Bai Mu's confidantes, Uchiha Mina.
When Fugaku Uchiha learned of the news, he dared not be negligent. He really did not expect such a thing to happen, and if anything happened to Tsunade, he would be held responsible.
Since Kirigakure can send people to infiltrate the border of the Land of Fire, isn't that his problem as the frontline commander?
Although there were still ninjas from the Hyuga clan, it was Uchiha Fugaku who was the frontline commander on the battlefield against Kirigakure.
Therefore, if Tsunade encounters any problems in his defensive zone, it's impossible to say for sure.
Of course, the news that Tsunade was coming made Fugaku Uchiha feel uneasy.
After all, Tsunade is a Senju, and that's the biggest contradiction.
The Uchiha and Senju clans had a major conflict.
Even if the Thousand Hands have already declined.
But that's Tsunade!
Their status is too high.
Its influence is too great.
His identity is extraordinary.
