"Lady Tsunade, let's go back first!"
Baimu ignored her and changed the subject.
Although he had said to send a signal for the main force to arrive, the current situation probably wasn't suitable, because the main force was very likely fighting at the Hidden Mist's main base.
Even if someone came, it would only be a small unit, so they should retreat first.
These bodies could be sealed in scrolls and unsealed later.
And using specialized scrolls would make them even more convenient to carry.
They couldn't just carry the bodies like this, could they?
Baimu would never do such a thing.
As for Tsunade and the others… that was even less likely!
"Once we return, I will leave immediately."
Tsunade said nothing more, merely dropping that one sentence before quickly departing.
"Are you really that confident that everything is under control?" Esdeath asked, watching Tsunade's retreating figure.
To be honest, she was genuinely curious how Baimu could be so confident. Was everything truly under his control? It truly made her curious!
"Naturally."
Baimu smiled, speaking confidently.
Esdeath: "…"
Alright, I can't understand.
I can only say I'm greatly shocked.
Of course, since Baimu wanted to do this, she couldn't say she wouldn't support him. Moreover, Alice Lizer hadn't said a word. What was that guy planning?
Thinking of this, she turned to Alice Lizer beside her and said, "Alice, what do you think?"
"I don't have any thoughts. I just think he has too many bad habits," Alice Lizer commented, believing Baimu had too many bad habits.
He claimed things were simple, yet he insisted on making them so uninteresting and complicated. It could only be said that this guy enjoyed playing with people's hearts, and loved to exhaust people before harvesting them.
"Hmm? You mean…"
Upon hearing this, Esdeath immediately became thoughtful. She seemed to understand Alice Lizer's meaning: Baimu was taking things one step at a time, slowly devouring Tsunade.
"Don't let your imagination run wild, it's not like that," Baimu immediately stopped Esdeath's speculation, warning her not to guess wildly.
"Whether it is or isn't, you know in your heart," Esdeath pouted, clearly disbelieving, but she couldn't delve deeper into the matter, otherwise, problems might arise.
"Let's go, no more nonsense!"
Baimu didn't want to talk about these things anymore, instead urging the two to hurry and catch up, and stop gossiping here… Konoha Frontline Main Camp.
A portion of ninjas still remained in the camp.
Upon seeing Tsunade, Baimu, and the others return, the Uchiha ninjas were the first to come out.
Leading them were Baimu's confidantes, Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Inabi, and others. They breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Baimu return safely.
"Baimu, are you alright?"
Uchiha Mina was the first to ask.
She was very worried about Baimu.
She was now looking him up and down, fearing he might be injured somewhere.
"Baimu's strength is far above ours. He's so strong, nothing could happen to him," Uchiha Inabi said with a joyous expression, his eyes filled with admiration and fanaticism.
It should be known that these young Uchihas held immense admiration and loyalty for Baimu.
Compared to the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku, Baimu was the clan leader they recognized.
If Baimu hadn't constantly demanded a low profile,
It's likely this group would have already initiated a coup.
Of course, it would be an internal Uchiha coup.
"I'm fine. This exploration mission was successfully completed. Under Lady Tsunade's leadership, we killed the Third Mizukage, as well as the Hidden Mist's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Hoshigaki Kisame and Zabuza Momochi, and hundreds of elite Hidden Mist ninjas, including those from the Kaguya and Hozuki clans. It can be said that we achieved a great victory, and the enemy's schemes were completely crushed!"
Baimu spared no praise for Tsunade, truly extolling her to the heavens, and also briefly explained the results of this battle.
Tsunade: "…"
This brat, he can really talk.
But the problem is, he's an Uchiha!
A naturally evil Uchiha, why is he a little different!
Damn it, he's got a brain, he's definitely not brainless, but what he said before… Tsunade had thought Baimu was brainless, but now it seems his brain is truly extraordinary, and he's completely put her in a difficult position. Although she could be unreasonable and tough, she still had to maintain her image.
To say she would directly disrespect him, that also didn't seem right. Moreover, he hadn't slandered her, but instead praised her to the skies, so how could she object? It was quite a predicament!
"Where's Shizune? I need to take her with me."
Tsunade was serious about leaving, no hesitation.
Tsunade wanted to leave, but Baimu couldn't let her, so he immediately spoke up to stop her, and listed a bunch of reasons for her.
"Lady Tsunade, don't be in a hurry. We need to wait for a letter from the rear. You see, we have achieved a great victory now, and the Hidden Mist is no longer able to fight, unless they insist. So, during this period, Lady Tsunade still needs to personally oversee things, and this is all for Konoha. Lady Tsunade can't just watch the village's interests suffer, can she?"
Tsunade: "…"
Why do your words sound like Danzo's?
For Konoha? Easy to say, you probably have ulterior motives!
And thinking back to what Baimu said when they returned, where did this brat get the confidence to convince me? To have me become Hokage is simply wishful thinking.
Besides, the old man won't step down, you're simply dreaming!
Baimu's confidence truly made Tsunade curious.
She actually didn't want to be like this, but she just couldn't help it.
Damn it, I'm really crazy!
Tsunade was very angry.
But there was nothing she could do.
She could only escape.
"We'll talk about it then!"
Dropping that sentence, Tsunade hurriedly left.
Baimu, seeing this, chuckled softly, not caring about Tsunade's attitude. No matter what her attitude, she would ultimately not escape his grasp.
Tsunade was not just his chosen Fourth Hokage; primarily, her abilities were too outstanding. Such a medical talent couldn't be wasted.
It should be known that gaining Tsunade would be of great help to him, and the most important point was that Baimu coveted Tsunade—that was the biggest reason.
In terms of Tsunade's appearance and figure, she was absolutely the most beautiful woman in the ninja world.
Of course, everyone had their own opinions, but for Baimu, she was the most beautiful woman in the ninja world, so even if he had to use every means possible, he would obtain Tsunade.
After Tsunade left, Baimu immediately got down to business, looking at Uchiha Inabi and the others, and asked, "Where are Uchiha Fugaku and the others? Haven't they returned yet?"
Uchiha Inabi quickly replied, "No, the main force was taken by the clan leader. Those of us who remained are all young people, all from the Uchiha clan, but don't worry, we can handle it."
Baimu was noncommittal: "The Hidden Mist is preoccupied right now and won't dare to launch a sneak attack. The Third Mizukage is dead, and the main force for the sneak attack was annihilated. Our main camp was ambushed by Fugaku's team, so it's unlikely our camp will have any problems."
