"This one……"

Tsunade fell silent.

This is another problem left over from the Third Hokage. If Konoha had provided support back then, Uzushio Village wouldn't have been destroyed. It can only be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi committed a terrible sin!

To be honest, she also had her own problems. She was far inferior to her second grandfather in this matter. If it were her second grandfather, he would never have allowed his ally to be wiped out.

Alas, I am not my great-uncle after all; I am far inferior to him. No wonder I became the stamped Hokage. On one hand, I am too lazy, and on the other hand, I am indeed not capable enough to shoulder the responsibility.

I say I can, but when it comes to actually doing it, I'm not really keen on doing it, so I'll have to rely on Alice Lise.

Oh, and Esdeath also helped me deal with some of the darker aspects of things.

It has to be said, this mascot Naruto is...

Uh, cough cough, everything's going very well!

But if my second grandfather knew, he would be furious. The Hokage's authority had fallen into someone else's hands, and he had become a puppet Hokage. No wonder he would be enraged!

Of course, I have absolute trust in Esdeath and Alice Lisze, which is completely different, so some things cannot be viewed with preconceived notions.

“I know, I’ll do it.”

Esdeath volunteered again.

No one else can help; only I can handle it.

Those insects in Kusagakure are all trash, and my specialty is torture, not to mention killing. When dealing with these insects and trash, the most ruthless methods should be used.

Eileen?

She can't.

As for Bai Mu, he doesn't need to take action at all, because those people from Kusagakure are simply not worthy of Bai Mu's attention.

So, looking around, isn't it just me? Yes, I'm the most suitable person to take action. Who else would you recommend if not me?

"You're patting yourself on the back again." Tsunade couldn't stand it anymore and directly complained, "Now I realize that you, Esdeath, really love to brag."

"Is there a problem?"

Esdeath shrugged and asked in return.

Don't tell me there's a problem. I don't think there's a problem. This matter is perfectly clear and quite reasonable, so it's my turn to take action.

"No."

Tsunade pursed her lips and replied.

There's a problem, and there isn't, because I really can't argue with you, and besides, I can't go with you anyway, so it doesn't matter what.

However, on the other hand, the fact that Bai Mu specifically said he would go to rescue the members of the Uzumaki clan suggests that these people might have something special about them.

After thinking about it, Tsunade decided to ask. She had to find out the truth; she couldn't be completely ignorant, could she? That wouldn't do. So, she needed to ask...

"Bai Mu, what's the situation with these so-called Whirlpool Clan members?"

"A mother and daughter."

That's the answer.

This answer undoubtedly attracted attention, and everyone looked over. Eileen's reaction was the most unusual, as she knew very well what it meant.

"What, is there a problem?"

Under the watchful eyes of Eileen and the others, Bai Mu spoke calmly.

"No, it's just that I felt you were quite concerned." Tsunade replied first. She felt that Bai Mu's concern and his special trip to rescue a mother and daughter must have some strange meaning.

"Don't overthink it, they're just a pitiful couple. Besides, the Uzumaki clan has more people, so it's not a problem. Don't we have a clan leader?"

Bai Mu waved his hand and said calmly.

There aren't so many "whys," and there's not much meaning behind them. Be rational about everything and don't overthink things.

"That's hard to say!" Eileen felt a little relieved after hearing this. Most mothers and daughters are pitiful, so it's just a matter of taking pity on them and there shouldn't be any unexpected situations. But even so, it's still necessary to remind them of what needs to be reminded.

A mother and daughter, one pair is enough, there's no need for too many.

Irene doesn't want uniqueness to become diverse; having her and Erza is enough.

"Eileen, shut up." Bai Mu frowned slightly and glared at her, warning her.

It’s time to say it or not.

Eileen, you talk too much.

It seems you've gotten a bit too arrogant. You need special education from 2.0, otherwise your arrogance is too outrageous. You need to be suppressed so that you'll know what it means to be a king or queen.

Eileen certainly understood Bai Mu's implied meaning, but she was indifferent, instead saying somewhat provocatively, "Whatever, I'll be waiting!"

are you afraid?

Are you afraid?

No, I would never.

"They've gotten too cocky, really too cocky. I think it's necessary to strike hard." Seeing this, Esdeath immediately took action, hoping that Bai Mu could continue to educate Eileen.

"Should we bring up the matter of Kusagakure?" Tsunade didn't want a full-blown fight to break out during a meal; such a scene had already occurred...

She knew Bai Mu all too well; he was incredibly adept at playing tricks, with so many variations that it was practically unimaginable.

Chapter 183 Tsunade objects? Her objections are useless!

Bai Mu smiled and said calmly, "No need. Actually, this can be seen as setting an example for Iwagakure, showing Onoki what our trip means. That old fox is probably already planning some alliance against Konoha. Who do you think he will choose to ally with?"

what?

Is it that old geezer, Ohnoki?

If that's the case, then the other ninja villages are the targets.

Moreover, it's not those small countries, but large ones. That is to say, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure have all joined forces. But the question is, can they successfully unite?

The blood feud between the five great nations is not so easily resolved, unless... well, it is an invincible enemy.

And isn't Konoha right now just like that?

"If they join forces, what impact will it have on us?" Tsunade neither ate nor drank, taking this matter very seriously.

Some things, if you don't pay attention to them, you really can't do them.

"Impact? I wouldn't say so. There might be some impact, but it's not significant. After all, ants united are still ants," Bai Mu said dismissively.

What threat do ants pose?

"It is for you, but not for Konoha." Tsunade rarely used her brain. She knew that Hakumoku wouldn't consider other ninja villages a threat, but it was different for Konoha 05.

If we're talking about threats, they definitely exist; they pose a significant threat to Konoha.

"What are you worried about? If you ask me, now is the perfect time." Eileen sneered dismissively, not caring about any threats. The opportunity was right there, and they could just push through and solve the problem.

"No, if you make a move, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble." Tsunade objected, strongly objected. Irene was too dangerous; who knew what kind of mess she would make of the ninja world?

Therefore, Tsunade would never agree to this. It would be better for you, Irene, to act under the supervision of Hakumu. If you were allowed to act freely, I'm afraid the entire ninja world would suffer.

"What do you mean?" Eileen didn't understand for a moment and asked with a frown.

“They despise you, thinking you'll bring disaster to the ninja world,” Esdeath said softly, making a point of explaining to Irene.

Eileen: "???"

Am I still destined for disaster?

Tsunade, you're really arrogant!

"Bai Mu, what do you think?" She snorted and looked at Bai Mu before speaking.

"I don't have any opinion. Don't take it to heart. We're going out here to show off, so there's no need to think too much about it."

Bai Mu waved his hand, not wanting to discuss too much. Just listen to me, and you don't need to consider anything else. Got it?

Common sense?

I didn't, but they did it on purpose!

Eileen snorted and said, "I've seen their attitude. It seems best to avoid any cooperation."

Trying to curry favor with me, huh?

Tsunade, you're really trying to please me now. From now on, let's not even think about cooperating. We don't need to cooperate. Let's just leave it at that.

As for?

Tsunade was helpless.

Having some concerns is normal; there's no need to make a big deal out of it. I think your point is a bit immature—you're talking about immature political ideas…

Sigh, I feel like they're not even as good as me!

Look at Esdeath and Alice Lise. They bicker and argue all the time, but when they need to cooperate, they are truly united. Why can't we learn from them?

Honestly, I feel quite helpless, tired, and it's very difficult.

Of course, now is not the time to quarrel with Eileen. We need to make an agreement with Bai Mu not to make things too big, because destroying one Grass Village means destroying the Grass Country.

Then, if we go to Iwagakure with great momentum, wouldn't Onoki just send people to fight us directly? That means we won't even be able to enter Iwagakure.

Oh, I'm talking about normal channels, not those that are directly deposited.

Originally, the investigation into the attack on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki led us to suspect that Iwagakure was responsible. We went there to demand an explanation, and if we couldn't reach an agreement, we would start a fight.

But if you destroy Kusagakure in such a high-profile manner, then Onoki will definitely not allow dangerous elements like you to enter the Land of Earth. Even the stupidest Kage wouldn't do that, and besides, the Earth Kage isn't stupid.

"Eileen, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

Of course, Tsunade didn't want to go into details. Right now, she wanted to talk to Hakuba about Kusagakure and Iwagakure, as those were the more important matters.

"Bai Mu, if we wipe out Kusagakure, won't it cause panic in the ninja world? In that case, it might actually lead to an alliance, which would be disadvantageous for us."

"Is it disadvantageous?"

Esdeath chuckled upon hearing this and asked in return.

Are you sure it's disadvantageous? I feel it's advantageous, completely beneficial to our work. Your understanding is indeed a bit shallow.
