If the Hidden Mist dared to come, they would definitely not return.
Esdeath was certain of this. She was absolutely confident in solving it, but she didn't know what Bai Mu planned to do. And as for him not being the front-line commander?
That wasn't important.
Uchiha Fugaku was nothing; there was no need to care about him.
She only listened to Bai Mu's commands. As for the Uchiha Clan Head, he was just a useless talker.
"Whether the enemy comes or not is still uncertain; it's just my speculation. The most crucial thing now is the rear. The news here should be known by the rear, and I don't know what our Third Hokage and his political faction plan to do. Also, how will other Ninja villages react after learning that Tsunade has appeared on the front line?"
Compared to the arguments between Alice Lize and Esdeath, Bai Mu decided to wait and see, and that the most important thing at present was the rear.
Tsunade appeared on the front line, specifically in the Uchiha Clan camp, and a young member of the Uchiha Clan actually saved Tsunade... Hmm, this matter will definitely cause a stir.
"Hearing you say that..." Alice Lize mused, then nodded and replied, "Indeed!"
"You two rest here, I'm going to talk to Tsunade." Bai Mu said to the two as he walked out.
"Talk?"
Esdeath stood up.
What are you going to talk about?
Wait, take me with you.
"You two don't need to follow me, just stay here." Baimu had no intention of letting Esdeath follow him, so he immediately said.
"No."
Esdeath objected.
"If I say yes, it's yes, just stay." Baimu turned and left the tent, leaving that sentence, clearly not allowing Esdeath to object… Meanwhile, in the tent where Shizune was resting.
Tsunade finally saw her disciple, and before Shizune could speak, she began to question her.
"Shizune, are you alright? That Uchiha brat named Baimu didn't do anything to you, did he? You need to be careful with that brat…"
"He's not a good person!"
But no sooner had Tsunade finished speaking than Baimu's voice rang out in the tent: "Lady Tsunade, how does it feel to speak ill of someone behind their back and be overheard by the person concerned?"
"It doesn't feel like anything."
Tsunade replied without changing her expression.
Of course, compared to Tsunade's composure, Shizune was relatively embarrassed, unsure how to speak, only stammering on the spot, her gaze shifting back and forth between Tsunade and Baimu.
"Uh, Lady Tsunade, you…"
Tsunade waved her hand, looked at Shizune with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't speak, then don't speak, Shizune, you go out first."
Shizune opened her mouth, pointed to herself, 'Me go out?'
"What are you doing?"
Tsunade raised her eyebrows and said to Shizune again: "I have something to say to this brat, you wait outside first."
"Lady Tsunade, you've specifically sent your disciple away, what do you have to say to me?" Baimu asked with a slight smile, watching Shizune leave.
"What is it? You know yourself, you ambitious brat, what exactly are you trying to do?" Tsunade walked up to Baimu, again trying to use her aura to gain an advantage in the conversation.
However, Tsunade's tactic was useless; instead, it made Baimu even more brazenly admire Tsunade's voluptuous figure.
"Where are your eyes looking?"
Tsunade said, gritting her teeth.
I'm talking to you, yet you're brazenly looking around, your eyes wandering everywhere. You're truly audacious, do you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?
Baimu felt Tsunade's furious gaze and clenched fists, yet his face remained calm as he unhurriedly said, "Lady Tsunade, it's because you're too close, and also, I came to you because Kirigakure might launch a surprise attack. We must make some preparations, and I hope Lady Tsunade will personally lead the battle as the chief commander, overseeing the operations of the Uchiha, Hyūga, and civilian ninjas."
On the battlefield against Kirigakure, the Uchiha clan was the main force, with a small portion of Hyūga clan ninjas for reconnaissance.
There were also some civilian ninjas, but the ninjas here were mainly from ninja clans; civilian ninjas were relatively few, practically just there to make up the numbers, with the main offensive power coming from the clan ninjas.
Among them, the Uchiha clan was the primary fighting force.
Tsunade looked deeply at Baimu, unsure how to speak for a moment.
After a moment of silence, she finally said, "You mean I should be the chief commander? Do you think the Uchiha will obey? Brat, don't think things are too simple."
You're not even a clan leader, and you're so young, what are you thinking?
Yes, you seem to have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and your strength is undeniable.
Also, those two women by your side… Tsunade thought of Esdeath and Aliceliese, and became wary. The strength of these two was definitely not weak and they could almost contend with a Kage.
Their jōnin-level strength is absolutely undeniable; this is no exaggeration.
Furthermore, the ninjutsu of those two women is somewhat peculiar.
It seems to be the power of Ice Release, but it doesn't require hand signs.
And Aliceliese said it wasn't ninjutsu.
This makes it hard to fathom.
Although Baimu said he hadn't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he told her that the Uchiha ancestors could use Susanoo without awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, claiming it was a case of bloodline atavism.
Good heavens, do you think I believe that?
Of course, Tsunade didn't believe it, and coupled with how absolute he sounded, and the fact that Baimu's Sharingan showed no changes, remaining in its three-tomoe state, she couldn't be sure.
Therefore, she used "suspected," but in reality, she still suspected that Baimu had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Baimu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, they will support it."
So confident!
Where does this brat get his confidence?
Tsunade could hear the confidence in Baimu's words, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled, frowning as she asked, "Do you have a lot of say within the Uchiha clan?"
Baimu explained, "Because both the hawk faction and the dove faction within the Uchiha are actually quite idiotic. Some are overly rigid, others are overly weak, and neither is desirable."
"Oh?"
Tsunade raised her eyebrows, thoughtfully scrutinizing Baimu, then asked, "Which faction are you?"
"Me? Neither."
Baimu shrugged and replied.
"Neither? I don't believe it." Tsunade expressed her disbelief.
Baimu continued, "I'm indeed not, because besides the hawk and dove factions, there's actually a neutral faction. These two factions can't be said to be very numerous, just a part of them, and then there's the neutral faction, who just want to live peacefully and not get involved in all these messy affairs."
The neutral faction, well, they're not that complicated; they just want to live peacefully, even if it means maintaining the status quo, as long as it doesn't too severely harm the Uchiha clan's interests, they can accept it.
This faction, not a small number, but unfortunately a certain weasel was unwilling to put aside his arrogance and listen to the voices of these more ordinary clan members. In Itachi Uchiha's eyes, the entire Uchiha clan was guilty; whether they were hawks or not didn't matter, in his definition, the Uchiha clan deserved to die.
