Tsunade's face showed surprise, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "You even know about Root?"
"I know so much, it's not surprising that I know about the Root, is it?" Bai Mu shrugged and said casually.
"Too."
Tsunade pursed her lips, having no objection to this. She also knew that given what Bai Mu had revealed, it was not surprising at all that he knew about Root. In fact, it would be very strange if he didn't know!
She paused, her smile fading, and looked at Bai Mu with a serious expression, asking, "So what are you going to do?"
Bai Mu curled the corners of his lips and asked in a teasing tone, "What do you think?"
I said?
Does this need to be said?
Upon hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She knew that Bai Mu meant to kill them all.
Realizing this, Tsunade pondered for a moment and said quietly, "You should know that if you really kill Sarutobi Miroku, the situation will be truly irreversible, and it will be a fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu waved his hand dismissively, sneered, and said nonchalantly:
"It's always been a fight to the death. That's how it is between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan. I'm only targeting the Konoha leadership, while they want our Uchiha clan. So whose fault is this?"
“Tsunade, the village is the village, and the higher-ups are the higher-ups. You have to distinguish between them. Not all ninja clans want the Uchiha clan to disappear. The Uchiha clan is disliked, but that doesn’t mean they want the Uchiha clan to disappear. The Konoha higher-ups are different; they truly hate the Uchiha from the bottom of their hearts.”
"Of course, this is due to the influence of the Second Hokage, but the Second Hokage is different from them. People like Hiruzen Sarutobi only inherited the Second Hokage's hostility towards the Uchiha clan, but they didn't have his magnanimity. That's the problem."
When Bai Mu mentioned the Second Hokage, Tsunade looked somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"When are you going to take action?"
She didn't intend to waste time; she wanted to figure out Bai Mu's intentions and when he would make his move. This was extremely important, so she needed to understand it clearly.
Bai Mu said softly, "You guys go to the front line first, I'll wait here."
Are you waiting?
This is within the Land of Hot Springs. Is this where we're supposed to resolve the issue in the Land of Hot Springs in version 5.0?
Tsunade frowned slightly, her eyes narrowed, unsure how to put it. It was indeed difficult to say. She couldn't stop Bai Mu from taking action; he felt that if he decided to fight within the Land of Hot Water, then it was up to him to make the decision.
"We have no objection, but what about her?" Alice Lise indicated that she and Tsunade had no objection, but the question was whether Esdeath had any objection.
That's hard to say.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's lips twitched. She thought to herself, "What do you mean we have no objections? What do you mean I have no objections? I just don't want to express my opinion."
Esdeath preemptively replied, "I definitely wouldn't."
Are you kidding me?
I don't plan to withdraw.
Is it appropriate for the battle to proceed without me?
"Esdeath, obey orders!" Bai Mu said calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
No, please don't!
For Esdeath, this was definitely unacceptable. Why wouldn't she let me stay? If you're talking about taking care of Tsunade, Alice can come along.
Besides, didn't Tsunade receive your essence as a gift?
With such a significant leap in strength, do you still need to worry about her safety? To be honest, there's absolutely no need. I don't think it's necessary at all!
“I already said I’d obey, so let’s go.” Alice Lise supported this; she didn’t object to Bai Mu’s actions, so Esdeath’s objection was naturally unacceptable.
Tsunade:"……"
No, do you guys really think I'm invisible?
Please, at least ask for my opinion?
"You don't take me seriously?" Tsunade, unable to bear it any longer, had no choice but to ask what was going on.
"Let's go, Tsunade. The front lines are more important." Bai Mu had only one opinion regarding Tsunade's suggestion, and he immediately said it with a serious expression.
Chapter 53: Attacked en route, all secret agents and Root units mobilize.
Tsunade had objections.
But her opinion doesn't matter.
In the end, Alice Lise took her away, and Esdeath couldn't disobey Shiramaki's wishes, so she obediently followed.
Meanwhile, Bai Mu was waiting for Sarutobi Miroku, Aburame Ryoma, and others to arrive within the territory of the Land of Hot Water.
It must be said that the pieces Bai Mu planted were very useful.
We have a general understanding of the enemy's movements.
Knowing the general outline will help you know how to handle the situation.
He was waiting in a dense forest.
Waiting for the fish to bite!
Meanwhile, Sarutobi Miroku and Aburame Ryoma, who were on their way, gathered a large group of people outside the woods where Shiramaki was.
"What's going on?" Sarutobi Miroku frowned slightly, glancing at Aburame Ryoma with considerable confusion. Why had the other party suddenly stopped?
Ryoma Aburame said in a deep voice, "A chakra has stopped, but I'm not sure who it is."
"Stop?"
Sarutobi Miroku was stunned.
Aburame Ryoma, seemingly having confirmed it, finally gave a clear answer: "It should be Uchiha Hakubaki, not Tsunade's chakra."
are you sure?
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Miroku was somewhat skeptical, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. After some struggle, he finally decided to continue on his way.
"Whatever it is, let's go check it out first. If it's Uchiha Hakubaku, then let's make our move!"
Ryoma Aburame had no objections. In any case, the target had to die. Lord Danzo had given the order, and the mission had to be completed, so how or when to kill him was unimportant.
People are fine once they die.
As for the risks of killing Uchiha Hakubaku...
We can only say that we must do it even if it's necessary. Besides, what is this little risk? Lord Danzo's orders are the most important. If he says to kill, then we must kill.
……
In the woods.
Sarutobi Miroku and Aburame Ryoma, along with their respective subordinates, began to surround the area where Shiramaki was located. Upon discovering that Shiramaki was alone, they immediately decided to attack and kill him.
This is a rare opportunity. While there might be a better chance to frame Kumogakure on the battlefield, with Tsunade present and the large Konoha ninja army around, killing them wouldn't be easy. 18 That's why we should kill them here.
"You guys are so slow."
As figures gradually appeared on the surrounding tree trunks, Bai Mu, sitting in the open space, slowly spoke.
slow!
That's really slow. I thought you guys could be faster, but it seems your determination to kill me isn't quite there yet. This won't do!
It was discovered long ago?
Standing on a tree branch in the shadows, Sarutobi Miroku, who had not revealed his presence, never expected that Shirabu had already discovered them.
So this was done intentionally. It's incredibly audacious and arrogant; they completely disregarded them.
Meanwhile, the elite members of the Root Clan, led by Ryoma Aburame, had already jumped down one after another, surrounding Shiromu to ensure that the target could not escape.
Seeing Aburame Ryoma jump down with the Root members, Sarutobi Miroku cursed inwardly, clearly dissatisfied with the other party's actions, which were too radical.
However, now that he has been exposed, there's nothing more to say, so he decided to go down and lead the Dark Guard to deal with Bai Mu and complete the mission.
Bai Mu, with such an expression, slowly rose to his feet, his long sword already gripped tightly in his hand, and said leisurely, "Sarutobi Hiruzen actually dared to put you in charge of this matter. Does he look down on me, or does he value you too much? Danzo, that black glove, is one thing, but you are his own son. Why would he have to make you do this?"
Sarutobi Miroku coldly said, "Uchiha Hakumaki, you are a destabilizing factor for the village. For the sake of Konoha's stability, you must die!"
Bai Mu didn't bother with words. With a light flick of his longsword, nine blazing crimson fireballs instantly condensed, illuminating the night sky completely.
Immediately, these fireballs fell from the sky, surging towards the group of Anbu and Root ninjas from all directions.
"Quickly, use Water Release!"
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Miroku immediately shouted.
Meanwhile, the ANBU ninjas swiftly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"
In the blink of an eye, a wall of water appeared, attempting to block the fireball, but the reality was far from satisfactory; it couldn't stop it at all and was instead engulfed by the flames.
"what?"
Sarutobi Miroku is unbelievable.
He couldn't believe that his own water-style ninjutsu hadn't worked.
Aburame Ryoma was equally astonished, and while the two were still reeling from the shock, the fireballs had already engulfed three or four ninjas from the Anbu and Root.
As soon as they clashed, both the Dark Division and the Root Division lost almost a squad, each losing three people, which meant that one of the four squads was rendered useless.
"That's it?"
Bai Mu brandished his longsword and said arrogantly, "If this is all the power you have, then you can all die."
"The arrogant Uchiha!"
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Miroku flew into a rage and roared.
He wouldn't allow Bai Mu's arrogance. You're surrounded now, yet you still dare to be so cocky. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're from the Uchiha clan.
No matter how skilled a ninja is, they would have no chance of survival if surrounded by us. Kid, you are too arrogant!
Compared to the furious Sarutobi Miroku, Aburame Ryoma was quite calm.
He knew he couldn't rush things; he had to take it slowly.
Let the people below continue to consume resources.
