Chapter 93: Going to the Battlefield

What's more, Ninja who survive injuries even have the potential to achieve a Breakthrough, making Konoha's active forces even stronger.

But now, Chiyo's poison has disrupted Konoha's combat strategy.

Ninja hit by the poison configured by Chiyo, even if they don't die immediately on the battlefield, won't last long.

If an antidote isn't quickly developed, Konoha's combat power will suffer heavy losses.

However, the Konoha Medical Ninja on the Sunagakure battlefield don't know the composition of the venom and are unable to prepare an antidote for it.

For this reason, Danzo suggested that the Senju Clan send people to steal Chiyo's venom, or even Chiyo's antidote.

Of course, the other Ninja would also begin to tie down the Sunagakure's combat power, leaving them unprepared and giving the Senju Clan squad an opportunity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed at the time.

The unexpected result was that the Sunagakure seemed to have already known Konoha's intentions, and that Senju Clan squad was completely wiped out.

To complete that mission, the Senju Clan had put in a lot of effort, even dispatching several quasi-Kage-level powerhouses, but they were unexpectedly completely wiped out.

Although the Senju Clan is a large and prosperous family, its active combat power cannot withstand such consumption. This time, the Senju Clan also suffered heavy losses.

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel that something was wrong.

Logically, this Senju Clan squad had several quasi-Kage-level or even Kage-level combatants. Even if the mission failed, it was impossible for not a single person to escape.

But the fact is, everyone in that Senju Clan squad died.

It was as if they had been ambushed by the Sunagakure, who had known in advance.

In this world of Ninja, even Kage-level individuals can be ambushed and killed by a group of Chunin or Jonin.

Even Obito in the future, during the Kamui's vacuum period, could be injured or killed by exploding tags.

So, the fact that such a powerful team was so easily eliminated by the Sunagakure, and didn't even send back a message, made Hiruzen Sarutobi very confused.

The news that this Konoha squad was wiped out by the Sunagakure even came from the Sunagakure, which greatly boosted their morale, while Konoha's morale was somewhat low.

Could it be that the Sunagakure had spies mixed into Konoha's high command?

Or perhaps, that Senju Clan squad was accidentally wiped out on their own?

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his forehead, a headache coming on.

"Old Man, I'm going to the Sunagakure battlefield!" Just then, Tsunade pushed open the door of the Hokage Office and burst in, announcing.

Behind her were Uchiha In and the other two.

Seeing Tsunade's solemn expression, the three of them offered a few words of comfort, but seeing that it had no effect, they fell silent.

"Tsunade, it's good that you're here. Get ready. In a couple of days, a troop will go to the Sunagakure battlefield. It will be up to you there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

As Konoha's most powerful Medical Ninja, Tsunade was the last person who could develop an antidote.

So, Hiruzen Sarutobi placed his last hope on Tsunade.

If even Tsunade couldn't do it, then the only option would be to send heavy troops to directly assault the Sunagakure border.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who inherited Senju Hashirama's benevolent ideology, did not want to do this until the very last moment.

After agreeing to Tsunade's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi also glanced at Uchiha In and the others.

"In, Kushina, Mikoto, are you also going to the battlefield this time? On the battlefield, even a slight misstep can lead to death, and you are still young. You only need a few more years for your strength to reach its peak. At this time, I don't want you to go to the battlefield, but if you insist on going, I won't stop you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly to the three of them.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Uchiha In fell into contemplation.

The battlefield, Uchiha In always felt that this word was very far from him.

But Uchiha In now realized that war was right in front of him.

After a moment of thought, Uchiha In noticed that Kushina and Mikoto were both looking at him, clearly waiting for his opinion.

"Master Tsunade, let me accompany you to the battlefield. On the battlefield, I can also contribute."

Uchiha In finally made up his mind, walked to Tsunade's side, held her hand with one hand, and patted her back with the other, saying.

This action by Uchiha In stunned Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face filled with shock.

What did he see? Uchiha In was actually holding Tsunade's hand and patting her back.

This kind of behavior was like talking to his lover!

My goodness, what a talent! Is Uchiha In so audacious? Isn't he afraid of Tsunade's Super Strength Fist hitting him?

And when Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Tsunade's expression, his mouth almost dropped open uncontrollably.

Tsunade actually looked like a shy little girl, with a blush on her face!

Am I seeing a fake Tsunade!

Could it be that Uchiha In has already won Tsunade over!

As a member of the Uchiha Clan, he directly got the princess of the Senju Clan!

Strong! Invincible! A tough guy! Truly worthy of being his grand-disciple!

This Uchiha In is truly audacious. As far as he knows, Uchiha In has already gotten Kushina Uzumaki and Uchiha Mikoto, and he didn't expect that even Tsunade hadn't escaped Uchiha In's clutches! She even showed such a feminine demeanor in front of Uchiha In!

One must know that in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, Tsunade was also a Dragon!

Thinking this, his gaze towards Uchiha In also held a hint of admiration.

As for whether the two of them could eventually be together, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't control it anymore.

"Cough, cough, since you've agreed to go to the battlefield, then you must make thorough preparations. Tsunade will personally tell you about these preparations."

"You still have 5 days to make thorough preparations."

"In, were you doing that on purpose just now?" After leaving the Hokage Building, Tsunade put some distance between herself and In, her face flushed, and asked Uchiha In.
