"I understand. I'll go talk to them. That's all. I'm so busy and exhausted," Tsunade said, waving dismissively as she took the scroll and left the Hokage's office.
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly," Third Hokage muttered, glancing in the direction of the coastline.
This war had come too suddenly, and Konoha had no choice but to fight Mist Village head-on.
If Mist Village wanted a fight, Konoha would oblige!
Surrender? Konoha wouldn't bow to anyone.
When Tsunade opened the door, the aroma of food immediately greeted her, jolting her out of her drowsiness and reviving her spirit.
"This is from Orochimaru. He needs Xin's squad to accompany the third batch of reinforcements to the front lines to assist in the battle."
Xin watched as Tsunade grabbed his chopsticks and started eating without hesitation, as if she hadn't eaten in days.
Her ravenous display shocked Kushina, Minato, and Nawaki.
Feeling a little concerned, Nawaki gently offered his sister a piece of meat and cautiously asked:
"Sis, how long has it been since you ate?"
"Get lost."
Tsunade glared at him, her cheeks puffed out with food, scaring Nawaki into retreating to sit beside Minato.
He didn't dare get close to Tsunade again.
Tsunade didn't care and mumbled while eating:
"These past few days have been hell. I barely had any food since last night, and I haven't slept either. I finally got some time to rest, but as soon as I fell asleep, I was woken up and had to go to the Hokage's office."
"I need a good meal, then some sleep before I get back to work, or I'll collapse."
You're usually the most relaxed, but during war, you're the busiest!
Being the head of the logistics department is really not an easy job.
"The third batch of reinforcements will include quite a few Uchiha members, right?"
Xin remembered Tsunade mentioning that apart from the vanguard, the second and third batches of reinforcements included a significant number of clan members.
Especially the third batch, which had a large number of Uchiha members.
"Danzo said there are many Uchiha ninja, and their strength is well-known, so it made sense to deploy more of them."
Tsunade explained in between bites.
"..."
I knew Danzo was up to no good.
Sure, the Uchiha clan had many ninja, and their individual strength was impressive.
But the problem was, the Uchiha specialized in Fire Release!
Sending them to fight Mist Village ninja on the coastline, or even on the open sea?
That's ridiculous!
Fire Release would be almost useless in that situation.
Danzo really is something. Coming up with such an excuse, and the Third Hokage even approved it.
At this point, many Uchiha members were probably cursing.
