Kushina startled like a small animal caught by a big bad wolf.
"You should go find Mikoto-nee instead." She ran into the room as if escaping.
"Mikoto, you're still the best to me." Uchiha In looked at Mikoto, who was the only one who hadn't run away, and said.
At this moment, Mikoto's face was also flushed.
It wasn't that Mikoto didn't want to run; it was that Uchiha In had a firm grip on her hand, so she couldn't run even if she wanted to!
Uchiha In was practically about to explode now; if Mikoto ran away, what would he do tonight?
There was no way Uchiha In would resolve it himself with his five fingers, right?
Xiao Yin, who was used to fine dining, would find it very difficult to go back to a simple life.
That night, Uchiha In was exceptionally vigorous and exceptionally wild.
And Uchiha Mikoto, on the other hand, accepted everything with indulgence.
This resulted in Uchiha Mikoto's walking posture being strange the next day.
Fortunately, they still had two days to rest in Short Strip Street, otherwise, Uchiha In might have had to carry Mikoto on his back to travel.
During the two days of rest in Short Strip Street, Tsunade also took the opportunity to gamble at the casino.
Tsunade, who had gained Luck +1, was no longer so unlucky; while she still lost most hands, she would occasionally win one or two, though overall, she lost more than she won.
However, for Tsunade, being able to win two hands without encountering any special incidents was already very satisfying.
One must know that in the past, Tsunade hardly ever won, and every time she did win, something bad would happen.
Now that she had escaped this situation, Tsunade was overjoyed.
After all, this was Tsunade's hobby.
Tsunade would not cheat with Ninjutsu; if she did, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
Uchiha In also went shopping with Kushina and bought some clothes.
As for Mikoto, she was resting and recuperating at the hotel.
After a relaxed two or three days, Uchiha In and the others returned to Konoha.
Unlike their journey there, where they had to consider the merchant caravan's speed, they could return at full speed without any concerns.
In just three days, they returned to Konoha.
"I never thought my first time leaving the village would be for so long!"
Uchiha In walked through Konoha's gate, a slight sense of emotion in him.
After all, this trip out lasted over 20 days, which was a bit long for Uchiha In, who was leaving Konoha for the first time.
"That's how it is for Ninja; every time you go on a mission, unless it's a D-rank mission or some special mission, you'll probably be out of the village for a long time. Slowly, you'll get used to it." Tsunade said with a smile.
Upon returning to Konoha, they naturally had to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi first.
"Hey, hey, have you heard? The war situation over at Sunagakure seems dire."
"Yeah, it's said that Sunagakure dispatched a Puppet army to attack, and Chiyo also created a new type of poison that's very potent."
"Oh, right, right, I heard that the Senju Clan's sneak attack unit all died from poisoning, and the Senju Clan suffered heavy losses."
"What, what's going on?" Tsunade heard the people around her talking and walked up to them.
"Lady Tsunade!"
The few people were startled when they saw it was Tsunade.
They had just been discussing the heavy losses of the Senju Clan, and they didn't expect to be overheard by the Konoha Princess, Tsunade.
Tsunade frowned as she saw the trembling individuals.
"Don't worry, I just want to know what you just said?" Tsunade also realized she seemed a bit anxious, and her Killing Intent involuntarily spread, which was why those few people were trembling.
Don't think Tsunade is always carefree; after all, she is a Ninja who has been on the battlefield, and she must have taken many lives.
That instant, Tsunade's involuntary release of Killing Intent naturally scared those few people.
After reining in her Killing Intent, Tsunade's expression was still somewhat serious, but not as terrifying as before.
"It's like this, Lady Tsunade..."
That person recounted everything he had heard.
The more Tsunade listened, the tighter her brow furrowed.
The gist of what the person said was that Sand Ninja suddenly launched an attack on Konoha, sending out Puppet troops, and Chiyo also created a new type of venom, causing heavy casualties among Konoha's people.
The Medical Ninja on Konoha's Sunagakure battlefield had not yet been able to decipher this poison, or create an antidote or anti-poison agent.
And several squads of the Senju Clan, attempting to sneak into Sunagakure to find a method to detoxify this agent, were instead ambushed by Sunagakure's people in a premeditated manner.
This resulted in heavy losses for those few small squads of the Senju Clan.
The Senju Clan had always been dedicated to Konoha's peace, standing on the front lines during wartime.
So, upon hearing this news, Tsunade was not entirely surprised.
However, the Senju Clan losing a large number of people still made Tsunade feel uneasy.
Moreover, Tsunade was Konoha's best Medical Ninja, and not being on the Sand Ninja battlefield now was a slight dereliction of duty.
"Let's go, we're going to find the Third Old Man." Tsunade's expression was slightly grim as she led everyone towards the Hokage Building.
In the Hokage Building's conference room, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also slightly frowning as he looked at the battle report in his hand.
Chiyo's poison technique caused heavy casualties among Konoha's people.
If it wasn't curbed, even if they defeated Sand Ninja, Konoha would only achieve a Pyrrhic victory.
Why was Konoha strong in the past? Besides having various powerful Ninja, Konoha's Ninja had the lowest injury and death rates.
After a Ninja was injured, with Konoha's ample reserve of Medical Ninja, lightly injured Ninja only needed a few days to recover, and seriously injured ones only a few months.
In other Ninja villages, due to the lack of Medical Ninja, lightly injured individuals needed several weeks, and seriously injured ones had difficulty surviving.
Over time, Konoha's combat power would gain an absolute advantage.
