"Your Uchiha Clan's young genius saved me this time. And not just him, but these two as well, were also rescuers."
Tsunade was decisive and went straight to the point, briefly explaining how Bai Mu saved her, and also introducing Esdeath and Alice Lize.
She knew Bai Mu's intention, so she granted his wish.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Esdeath and Alice Lize behind Tsunade, but he didn't pay too much attention, still focusing on Tsunade.
After all, they were not Konoha Ninja. Although they had the grace of saving Tsunade, in this time of war, one still had to be cautious.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "Lady Tsunade, since these two helped Lady Tsunade, I will make arrangements. At that time..."
Bai Mu interjected at this point, "Clan Head, these two not only saved Lady Tsunade, but also hunted Hidden Mist Ninja with me. Because on the way back, we encountered a surprise attack from the Hidden Mist, more than fifty Ninja. If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't have returned so smoothly..."
"What? You were also attacked on your way back?" Uchiha Fugaku's face changed, showing extreme surprise.
What were the Hyuga Clan's reconnaissance teams doing?
The enemy launched surprise attacks repeatedly without being detected.
This was truly outrageous.
"We will thoroughly investigate this matter."
Uchiha Fugaku immediately gave his assurance.
Tsunade understood Uchiha Fugaku's meaning and immediately offered an explanation: "We came back from the northwest direction. It might just be a coincidence that we ran into them. The enemy might have intentionally launched a surprise attack from that direction. There were some mistakes in our defense zone, which is normal."
She paused, then added, "As for them, they can just stay with me."
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
Uchiha Fugaku was very worried.
He was afraid that if anything happened to Tsunade, the blame would fall on the Uchiha Clan.
"Clan Head Fugaku, do you think I can't handle it?" Tsunade was very clear about why Uchiha Fugaku was so concerned.
But even though she understood, Uchiha Fugaku was talking too much. How things should be done was not for him to say.
"No, that's not what I mean." Uchiha Fugaku's face instantly darkened upon hearing this, but he still bowed slightly, indicating that he didn't mean that.
Tsunade didn't want to say more. She was already forced to come, and now Uchiha Fugaku's nagging, his fear of this and that, also annoyed her greatly.
Compared to Bai Mu, this Uchiha Fugaku was too hesitant and indecisive.
She waved her hand, and as she stepped into the camp, she said, "Alright, this time I will stay and be specifically responsible for treating the wounded. I will check on my disciple and then start treating the wounded. You all gather the wounded, and I will treat them all at once."
"Lady Tsunade, you really..." Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat incredulous, truly not expecting Tsunade to actually stay. He had thought she was just coming to take her disciple, but he didn't expect her to also stay and treat the wounded.
Bai Mu stopped Uchiha Fugaku and said in a deep voice, "Clan Head, prepare first. Not only do we need to do a good job of treating the wounded, but we also need to prevent surprise attacks from the Hidden Mist."
"You, you are right."
Uchiha Fugaku stopped, looked deeply at Bai Mu, and then nodded, saying, "You are right, Bai Mu. You will be responsible for coordinating with Lady Tsunade. I will strengthen patrols within the defense zone, and also communicate with the Hyuga Clan Ninja as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the routes and prevent infiltration by Hidden Mist Ninja."
"No problem!"
Bai Mu agreed.
He was more than happy to do so.
The coordination with Tsunade would definitely be handled by him; no one else could touch it.
Furthermore, Uchiha Fugaku should step down, but not now. It would have to wait until the Nine-Tails Attack. After this incident, the Uchiha Clan was forced to relocate.
And Uchiha Fugaku had agreed, so this could be used as an excuse to make things difficult. But if there were any changes, it wasn't impossible to act earlier.
Everything, of course, depended on actual developments. Although Bai Mu had a plan, he didn't mind acting early. This was about adapting to the actual situation... In Bai Mu's own tent.
Esdeath and Alice Lize were both there.
Among them, Alice Lize had a question to ask.
"Isn't the Hyuga Clan's reconnaissance ability very outstanding? Why haven't they shown anything?"
Bai Mu replied to this, "They can take a detour, you know. Besides, Uchiha Madara provides intelligence. White Zetsu's intelligence gathering is second to none, and since Uchiha Madara arranged the sneak attack, he would definitely make it safer and not give them a chance to be discovered."
The battlefield was so vast; how could it be comprehensive? There were bound to be omissions, and moreover, with the vast sea, there were definitely places that couldn't be covered.
Is that so?
Alice Lize was pensive.
Indeed, these so-called surprise attacks were all directed at Bai Mu, a test from Uchiha Madara, not just for Bai Mu, but also for her and Esdeath.
After all, their existence and performance had undoubtedly attracted Uchiha Madara's attention. The White Zetsu group was indeed top-notch at gathering intelligence.
Furthermore, Esdeath was not as cautious as herself; her fighting style was very brutal, often changing the terrain, so it was not surprising that this attracted attention.
Realizing this, Alice Lize said faintly, "If that's the case, then Esdeath and I attracting attention is most likely due to Esdeath's overly large combat movements. That Uchiha Madara isn't foolish; he knows that the strength we've displayed is too great. To prevent his plan from going wrong, he chose to keep an eye on us. Also, he's probably curious why you're so familiar with us."
Esdeath sat down, cross-legged, and immediately cast a somewhat displeased glance at Alice Lize for what she had said.
"What are you talking about? Do you mean I should restrain myself? The question is, why should I restrain myself? Even if Uchiha Madara himself comes, it's the same. I don't fear him!"
Just a lingering old thing, he's nothing at all, unless he's revived, then it would be fine, but he can't be revived, so what am I afraid of?
No pressure at all. If he comes, it means he's looking for death. I won't go easy on him.
"Can't you stop always thinking about fighting?" Alice Lize immediately got a headache and said with some frustration.
"Otherwise?"
Esdeath asked back, spreading her hands.
Her nonchalant attitude stimulated Alice Lize's temper, and she immediately looked at Bai Mu and asked, "Bai Mu, what do you say? Her meaning is that she wants to turn everything upside down. Can you really accept that?"
Bai Mu was not very concerned about these things. Instead, he mentioned that after the Hidden Mist's ambush failed, they might carry out a surprise attack.
"The Hidden Mist has lost so many people, an elite force of over fifty Ninja, mostly Chunin, and also Kaguya Clan bloodline Ninja. They might carry out a surprise attack."
Being able to fight naturally made Esdeath incredibly excited. She was eager for such an opportunity and immediately said, "They're coming? That's good, I can't wait!"
