If there is any negligence or problems, it will be even more difficult for the Uchiha. Moreover, with Tsunade's arrival, is it possible that the current situation of the Uchiha can be reversed?
"Chief, the people have arrived."
As Fugaku Uchiha was in a daze, his trusted confidant, Yakumi Uchiha, whispered something to him.
Coming to his senses, Fugaku Uchiha looked up and, sure enough, saw Hakubaki, Tsunade, and their group.
Ok?
Aside from the young man Uchiha Hakumu and Tsunade, why are there two unfamiliar women?
Fugaku Uchiha was puzzled, and he wasn't the only one; the other Uchiha clan ninjas present also found it strange.
Since Shiro was acting alone, and Esdeath and Alice Lise were not from Konoha, they naturally couldn't appear at Konoha's camp.
Therefore, the two of them were secretly following Bai Mu. Since Bai Mu was acting alone, it was not surprising that the ninjas at the headquarters had never seen Esdeath and the others.
"Tsunade-sama!"
Suppressing his doubts, Fugaku Uchiha quickly stepped forward and spoke politely.
"Clan Chief Fugaku." Tsunade's demeanor was neither warm nor cold; her attitude was simply neutral, showing neither hostility nor disgust, but also no intention of being close to him.
Fugaku Uchiha was not surprised by this. Given Tsunade's status and position, it was already good enough that she was not hostile to the Uchiha. As for being close to them?
That's impossible.
Of course, the reason the other party was able to come was because of Uchiha Hakumoku. If he hadn't appeared and helped Lady Tsunade, the other party wouldn't have come.
Chapter 14 Esdeath: He's just an old man, why would I be afraid of him?
“Your Uchiha clan’s young genius saved me this time, and not only him, but also these two are my saviors.”
Tsunade acted swiftly and decisively, getting straight to the point and simply explaining how Bai Mu had saved her, while also introducing Esdeath and Alice Lise.
She knew Bai Mu's intentions, so she granted his wish.
"Oh, I see."
Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Esdeath and Alice Lisse behind Tsunade, but didn't pay them much attention, still prioritizing Tsunade.
After all, they weren't Konoha ninjas. Although they had saved Tsunade's life, they still needed to be cautious during this time of war.
Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha immediately said, "Lady Tsunade, since those two have helped you, I will make arrangements. At that time..."
Bai Mu interjected at this moment: "Clan leader, those two not only saved Lady Tsunade, but they also hunted down Kirigakure with me. On the way back, we were ambushed by Kirigakure, with more than fifty ninjas. If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't have been able to return so smoothly..."
"What? You were attacked on your way back too?" Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed, showing utter surprise.
What's going on with the Hyuga clan's reconnaissance squad?
The enemy launched several surprise attacks but failed to detect it.
This is really outrageous.
We will investigate this matter thoroughly.
Fugaku Uchiha immediately made a guarantee.
Tsunade understood what Fugaku Uchiha meant and immediately gave an explanation: "We came back from the northwest direction. It's probably because we just happened to run into them. The enemy may have intentionally launched a surprise attack from this side. It's normal that our defense zone made some mistakes."
She paused, then added, "As for them, they just need to stay with me."
"Isn't this bad?"
Fugaku Uchiha was very worried.
He was afraid that if something happened to Tsunade, the blame would fall on the Uchiha.
"Clan Chief Fugaku, do you think I can't handle this?" Tsunade was well aware of why Uchiha Fugaku was so worried.
But while it's clear, you, Fugaku Uchiha, talk too much. It's not your place to tell us exactly what to do.
"No, that's not what I meant." Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's face darkened, but he still lowered his head slightly to indicate that he didn't mean it that way.
Tsunade didn't want to say much. She had come out of necessity, and now Uchi Fugaku was being long-winded and afraid of this and that, which annoyed her.
Compared to Bai Mu, this Uchiha Fugaku is far too hesitant and indecisive.
She waved her hand and started walking towards the camp, saying, "Alright, this time I will stay behind to be in charge of treating the wounded. I'll start treating the wounded as soon as I see my disciples. You all gather the wounded together and I'll take care of them all at once."
"Lady Tsunade, you really..." Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat incredulous. He really hadn't expected Tsunade to stay. He thought she was just there to take away his disciple, but he didn't expect her to stay and treat the wounded.
Bai Mu stopped Uchiha Fugaku and said in a deep voice, "Clan leader, let's make preparations first. We need to do a good job in treating patients, and we also need to prevent a surprise attack from Kirigakure."
"You are right."
Fugaku Uchiha stopped, gave Bai Mu a deep look, and then nodded and said, "You're right, Bai Mu. You're in charge of liaising with Lady Tsunade. I'll strengthen patrols in the defense zone. Also, we need to communicate with the Hyuga clan ninjas as soon as possible. We must ensure the safety of the route and prevent the infiltration of Kirigakure ninjas."
"no problem!"
Bai Mu agreed.
He couldn't have asked for it more.
He's the one who'll be in charge of coordinating with Tsunade's side; no one else can touch him.
In addition, Fugaku Uchiha should also step down, but not now. He should wait for the Nine-Tails' attack, after which the Uchiha clan was forced to relocate.
Fugaku Uchiha agreed, so this could be used as an excuse to cause trouble, but if there are any changes, it's not impossible to bring it forward.
Everything depends on the actual changes. Although Bai Mu has a plan, he doesn't mind acting ahead of schedule. This is because things need to change according to the actual situation.
……
In Bai Mu's own tent.
Esdeath and Alice Lise are both there.
Alice Lise has a question to ask.
"Aren't the Hyuga clan supposed to have excellent reconnaissance abilities? Why haven't they shown any signs of it?"
Bai Mu replied, "They can take a detour. Besides, Madara Uchiha provides intelligence. White Zetsu's intelligence capabilities are unquestionable. Moreover, since it was a sneak attack arranged by Madara Uchiha, they would definitely be careful and wouldn't give them a chance to discover it."
With such a vast battlefield, it's impossible to cover everything; there will inevitably be omissions. Moreover, the ocean is bound to be vast, and there are bound to be areas that cannot be taken care of.
Is that so?
Alice Lise seemed lost in thought.
Indeed, this so-called surprise attack was all aimed at Bai Mu. It was a test by Uchiha Madara, not only against Bai Mu, but also against her and Esdeath.
After all, their existence and performance undoubtedly attracted Madara Uchiha's attention; the White Zetsu were indeed first-rate at gathering intelligence.
Furthermore, Esdeath is not as cautious as I am; her fighting style is very brutal, and she often alters the landscape, so it's not surprising that this has attracted attention.
Realizing this, Alice Lizard said quietly, "If that's the case, the reason Esdeath and I attracted attention was probably because Esdeath's battle was too loud. Madara Uchiha isn't stupid; he knows that the strength we displayed was too great, so to prevent problems with the plan, he chose to keep an eye on us. Also, he was probably curious as to why you are so familiar with us."
Esdeath plopped down, sitting cross-legged, and glanced at Alice Lise with some displeasure at what she had said.
"What are you saying? Are you implying that I should hold back? The question is, why should I hold back? Even if Madara Uchiha himself came, I wouldn't be afraid of him!"
He's just an old man clinging to life, nothing at all. He'd be alright if he were resurrected, but he can't be resurrected, so what am I afraid of?
No pressure at all. His arrival means he's asking for death, and I won't hold back.
"Can't you stop thinking about fighting all the time?" Alice Lise suddenly had a headache and said with some distress.
"Or else?"
Esdeath shrugged and asked in return.
Her nonchalant attitude ignited Alice Lise's anger, and she immediately looked at Bai Mu and asked, "Bai Mu, what do you think? She's basically trying to turn things upside down. Can you really accept that?"
Bai Mu wasn't particularly concerned about these things. Instead, he mentioned that after the Misty Village's ambush failed, they might launch a surprise attack.
"The Hidden Mist Village has lost so many people, more than fifty elite soldiers, mostly Jonin and Chunin, as well as bloodline ninjas from the Kaguya clan. They might launch a surprise attack."
Being able to fight naturally excited Esdeath immensely; she couldn't be happier to do so, and immediately exclaimed, "Will you come? That would be great, I couldn't wait!"
Chapter 15 Bloodline Reversion? Do you think I believe it or not?
If the Hidden Mist dares to come, they will definitely not return.
Esdeath was certain of this; she was absolutely confident in resolving it. She just didn't know what Bai Mu intended to do, and that he wasn't the commander on the front lines.
that's not important.
Who Fugaku Uchiha is is not worth worrying about.
He was simply following Bai Mu's orders, and the so-called Uchiha clan leader was nothing but a bunch of useless rubbish.
"Whether the enemy will come or not is still uncertain; it's just my speculation. The most crucial thing right now is the rear. News from here should have reached the rear. We don't know what our Third Hokage and his political group are planning, or how the other ninja villages will react to Tsunade's presence on the front lines once they find out."
In contrast to the debate between Alice Lise and Esdeath, Bai Mu decided to wait and see, saying that the most important thing at the moment was the rear.
Tsunade appeared on the front lines, and even made a special appearance at the Uchiha clan camp. Surprisingly, a member of the younger generation of the Uchiha clan saved Tsunade...
Yes, I'm sure this matter will cause quite a stir.
"Now that you mention it..." Alice Lise pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Indeed!"
"You two rest here, I'll go talk to Tsunade," Bai Mu said to the two as he walked out.
"explain?"
Esdeath got up.
What are you trying to say?
Wait, take me with you.
