What does "join forces again to save Konoha" mean?
What's wrong with Konoha now, and what do you mean, kid?
Tsunade wasn't an idiot.
There were many problems in the village now, so what was this brat trying to do?
"Lady Tsunade, please don't misunderstand.
Konoha was established by the First Hokage for peace, to protect children from the ravages of war, but now..."
Bai Mu said with a smile, "Lady Tsunade, we must once again uphold the First Hokage's ideals, do you understand?"
"Get lost, you know nothing about my grandfather's ideals."
Tsunade was very angry, yet unable to refute, because there were too many problems in the ninja world now.
And it wasn't just Konoha; the entire ninja world had problems.
How many years had it been?
Three Shinobi World Wars had already broken out.
And now, the Third Shinobi World War was raging intensely, involving the Five Great Nations, with the Land of Fire even fighting against the other four.
It was so fierce, one could say it was a bloody battle, truly for their respective interests, fighting to the death.
The so-called peace was nowhere to be seen.
And children were being sent to the battlefield one after another.
If her grandfather saw Konoha today, would he be disappointed or disappointed?
"Lady Tsunade, we cannot escape the village's problems, and whether it's the Senju or the Uchiha, both have now been excluded."
Tsunade's face was cold as she questioned, "What do you mean?"
"Since the First and Second Hokage, the Senju have upheld the ideal of integrating into the village, and indeed they have led by example, but at what cost?
Are there any Senju left today who can shoulder great responsibilities?
If I had to say, there's only Lady Tsunade, but one Lady Tsunade isn't enough, and even with just one Lady Tsunade, some things within the village aren't so good, otherwise Lady Tsunade wouldn't have left!"
"And the Uchiha, they have always been excluded from the core, even though Uchiha ninjas have rushed to the front lines in droves during wars, yet to a certain group, we Uchiha are still not to be trusted.
But Lady Tsunade, honestly, are the Uchiha ninjas on the battlefield truly untrustworthy?"
The Uchiha certainly had many problems: arrogant, conceited, and many flaws.
But to say they fought for Konoha, did the Uchiha shed little blood?
No, they shed a lot.
Tsunade fell silent.
Are the Uchiha untrustworthy?
On the battlefield, the Uchiha were extremely trustworthy.
Because the Uchiha's combat power was evident; it was impossible to say they were untrustworthy.
Moreover, although the Uchiha clan was proud, they never held back on the battlefield, making them the most trustworthy comrades.
Furthermore, during the two great ninja wars, the Uchiha's contributions were obvious to all.
She herself participated in the Second Great Ninja War; didn't she know this?
Now, in the Third Great Ninja War, the Uchiha clan's ninjas once again rushed to the battlefield without hesitation, but this time they were assigned to the Mist Village battlefield.
The Uchiha clan excelled at Fire Release, and on the Mist Village battlefield, using fire against water was clearly unreasonable.
Moreover, the Land of Water was a large island nation surrounded by sea, and the current main battlefield was located within the territory of the Land of Uzumaki, which had long been destroyed.
That was also a small coastal nation.
Such a battlefield environment was clearly disadvantageous to the Uchiha, but despite this, the Uchiha still chose to follow orders.
So what about this...
Tsunade truly didn't know what to say. Should she tell him to obey the village's arrangements? To not complain or anything like that?
Tsunade couldn't bring herself to say such words; she wasn't that thick-skinned.
Although she had been quite shameless when escaping gambling debts.
But Tsunade wasn't saying she wouldn't pay them back; she would eventually.
So, facing Baimu's questioning, she fell silent.
"Lady Tsunade can't answer?"
As Baimu said this, he cast an aggressive gaze at Tsunade.
"Kid, go to the front lines first. I'm taking Shizune with me." Tsunade avoided answering, tossed out a sentence, and hurriedly set off.
"She's avoiding it, but does this count as convincing her?"
Esdeath didn't speak but directly followed the departing Tsunade. It was Alice who asked Baimu for his thoughts.
Baimu said faintly, "As long as she arrives, that's enough. I'll arrange for people to spread the news, and besides, the main camp isn't just our Uchiha ninja. Other ninja clans from the village are there too, including the Hyuga clan. Someone will inform the village."
He paused, then added, "Furthermore, once she arrives, she won't be able to act freely. If Hiruzen Sarutobi gets the news, he will undoubtedly be suspicious. At that time, he will immediately arrange for people to invite Tsunade back, and with Tsunade's personality..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eagerness, or rather, his fear that Tsunade and the Uchiha might truly unite, would naturally provoke Tsunade's resentment, and this would undoubtedly make her rebellious, leading to a high probability of her acting against him.
"This relies too much on Tsunade herself; it doesn't feel very secure." Hearing this, Alice was somewhat skeptical, and she spoke frankly.
Baimu shrugged and said very casually, "It's fine. The moment she appears, we've already won, because the rumors have already started, and don't forget someone will help us."
"That Danzo?"
Alice understood.
The fact that someone would help could only refer to that scapegoat, Danzo.
In reality, Konoha had countless enemies, and Danzo was primarily responsible. This guy was ambitious but incompetent, dreaming of becoming Hokage and resorting to all sorts of methods, but the problem was, how could a shadowy figure expect to stand in the spotlight?
Wasn't that just a dream?
Moreover, his methods were too weak.
Alice looked down on him completely.
His political maneuvering was too childish.
Baimu's words made Alice realize that Tsunade's identity was so special, and Danzo was so covetous of the Hokage position, that actions targeting Tsunade were inevitable. So, despite Hiruzen Sarutobi's teacher-student relationship and Tsunade's prejudice against the Uchiha, if Danzo's actions were too extreme, it would naturally change Tsunade's mind.
Furthermore, could Tsunade truly tolerate Danzo's actions?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. So, it was indeed possible to use that idiot Danzo to completely pull Tsunade into their camp... Well, Baimu's plan indeed impressed Alice; it had a sense of interlocking steps, but man proposes, God disposes, and many things are uncertain!
"I'm not saying I don't believe it, it's just hard to control so many things. It's difficult to execute a script well, just like this time... Speaking of which, will there be any more attacks on our way back to the main camp?"
Alice had something to say: the script might not play out as we wish. For example, on the way back, we might be attacked again!
