"You brought me..."
Although Tsunade had become despondent due to the death of her brother Nawaki and some internal village issues, leading her to leave, this didn't mean her combat strength had declined.
Moreover, she didn't suffer from hemophobia, so she immediately realized something was wrong with Bai Mu's answer.
She immediately retorted, "No, couldn't you have waited for me to wake up?
Besides, how did I faint?
You didn't do anything to me, did you, you brat?"
After speaking, Tsunade's gaze turned cold: "Oh, and my clothes, who took them off?"
"I did!"
Bai Mu admitted openly.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "You took off my clothes? You inherently evil Uchiha brat, how dare you!"
"Lady Tsunade, we need to be reasonable.
The situation was urgent at the time, and my judgment was not wrong."
Facing Tsunade's anger, Bai Mu appeared calm and unhurried as he spoke.
Reasonable?
Reasonable my ass.
Tsunade's expression immediately turned cold, and she stared intently at Bai Mu, saying coldly, "Do you know what you're saying?
Reason?
Is this about reason?"
Bai Mu smiled and said to Tsunade, "Regarding Shizune, I've made it very clear that she's at the front line base, which is our main camp.
There are Uchiha ninjas and our Konoha main forces there; nothing can possibly happen."
"Nothing can possibly happen, my foot! And what's your intention?
Are you trying to lure me to the front lines?
Also, I'm not letting you off the hook for taking off my clothes."
Tsunade couldn't hold back anymore, glaring at Bai Mu and scolding him.
Seeing this, Bai Mu knew that Tsunade was very angry right now, and her intuition was quite good; she could guess his intentions.
Because he truly had that intention—to bring Tsunade to the front lines using Shizune's situation.
He wanted Tsunade to appear on the Mist Village battlefield, and then he would initiate a full-scale push.
This way, with both the Senju and Uchiha demonstrating their power... wouldn't this plan succeed?
What he wanted was public opinion.
The specific details didn't matter.
The public opinion would be Tsunade appearing on the Mist Village battlefield.
Then, she and Bai Mu would together repel the Hidden Mist Village ninjas and win this war against the Land of Water's Hidden Mist Village.
"No, Lady Tsunade has misunderstood.
I have no such intention, and your misunderstanding and prejudice against the Uchiha are far too great.
My encounter with you was merely accidental, and seeing Lady Tsunade attacked by enemy ninjas, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could I?"
Bai Mu offered an explanation, but Tsunade didn't listen at all.
Instead, she loudly questioned, "Hmph, you sent Shizune to the front lines, and now you're asking me to go to the front lines with you?
Are you trying to make me participate in the war against the Hidden Mist?
You inherently evil Uchiha brat, you're too bold, absolutely lawless!"
"Inherently evil Uchiha" again.
As expected of a Senju, deeply influenced by Tobirama Senju.
Tsunade was naturally no exception, and he was her great-uncle, so it was perfectly reasonable.
Bai Mu raised an eyebrow and said, "Lady Tsunade, don't keep saying 'inherently evil Uchiha' at every turn.
Don't forget that Konoha was co-founded by the Uchiha and Senju..."
"I don't care about any of that; you're scheming against me."
A hint of disdain flashed across Tsunade's face, a smile playing on her lips.
She felt there was no need to discuss these matters; after all, the Uchiha were inherently evil and needed to be wary of.
"Scheming? Lady Tsunade, I saved you.
Those Hidden Mist ninjas were clearly acting strangely; I suspect there's a conspiracy behind it, possibly orchestrated by the Third Mizukage.
So, Lady Tsunade, you either return to Konoha now, or you join me in ending the war against the Hidden Mist."
Bai Mu chose to ignore Tsunade's displeasure and instead analyzed the attack with her, offering suggestions along the way.
"Hmph, Third Mizukage?
Give me a break, who are you trying to fool?
Don't think you can trick me."
Tsunade rejected this statement and glared at Bai Mu.
She had already deeply endorsed her great-uncle's words.
Indeed, he was an inherently evil Uchiha, daring to try and use her.
Truly audacious and wishful thinking.
"That's not true, Lady Tsunade, please don't misunderstand."
Bai Mu didn't care about Tsunade's anger; instead, he continued to respond dangerously.
However, this demeanor was particularly irritating in Tsunade's eyes.
She genuinely disliked such pretense, and her expression immediately darkened as she said in an unfriendly tone, "Hypocritical fellow!"
Bai Mu smiled, shrugging indifferently, and said faintly, "Lady Tsunade has a deep misunderstanding of me.
Then let's go to the front lines first, and when you see your disciple Shizune, you'll naturally understand that I was wrong to send her to the front line base."
"Alright, fine."
Although Tsunade was displeased, she still agreed.
After speaking, she turned and went back into the tent.
She was going to put on her outerwear and shoes before heading to the main base.
"She actually agreed?
Why?"
Esdeath and Alice Lize hadn't spoken until now, but they genuinely had a question.
What was the reason?
Why did Tsunade suddenly agree?
Just a moment ago, she was calling him an "inherently evil Uchiha" one after another, but in the blink of an eye, she immediately agreed.
This was truly puzzling.
"A woman's mind is always small, and their desire for revenge is extremely strong.
The Hidden Mist's sneak attack couldn't have gone without a reaction, and going now is nothing more than for revenge and indeed concerns about the progress of the war..."
Did he explain?
Esdeath glanced at Alice Lize beside her; they both felt that Bai Mu's explanation seemed to explain nothing at all, which was truly baffling.
Tsunade, now dressed, walked out, her gaze naturally falling on Esdeath and Alice Lize.
Who were these two women?
They weren't Konoha ninjas at all, and that kind of power... "Who exactly are they?
You still haven't said."
Bai Mu explained, "Lady Tsunade, they assisted me in saving you, Lady Tsunade.
Although they are not Konoha ninjas, they are trustworthy companions and powerful ninjas."
Tsunade glanced at Alice Lize and Esdeath, looking at these two women who were both exceptionally beautiful and well-figured, and couldn't help but frown.
Given their age, appearance, and strength, they were not ordinary people, and that was the power of Ice Release, wasn't it?
Were they from the Yuki clan on the Hidden Mist side?
She heard that Ice Release was their Kekkei Genkai... But looking at them, it didn't seem to be the case.
So what exactly was going on?
It was truly strange.
Many thoughts surged in Tsunade's mind, constantly speculating about the origins of these two, but she just couldn't pinpoint who they were.
Of course, Tsunade showed no emotion on her face; instead, she said calmly and collectedly, "Hmph, I don't know where you found these people, but I must say that the village will not accept people of unknown origin."
Bai Mu heard this and said faintly, "With the joint endorsement of the Senju and Uchiha, they are naturally no problem.
Moreover, they have rendered outstanding service on the battlefield and are Lady Tsunade's saviors..."
Tsunade interrupted directly, "Don't keep calling them 'saviors.' I told you not to scheme against me.
Anyone who tries to scheme against me will not end well."
Bai Mu stared at Tsunade and said, "Lady Tsunade, Konoha needs change.
We must join forces again to save Konoha, because I am Uchiha, and you are Senju."
"What nonsense, you inherently evil Uchiha!"
Tsunade's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
She had been wondering about Bai Mu's true intentions all along, and she hadn't expected this guy to have such different ambitions.
