Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Clan Head Fugaku, what do you say?

Seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "If this is the judgment, we need to send the intelligence back to the Third Hokage and the Village's high-ranking officials for their decision."

Some matters cannot be handled casually.

If the Third Mizukage truly intends to invade the Land of Fire on a large scale from the sea, then this intelligence must be sent back, otherwise it will delay the judgment of the rear.

"No need, I'll take over now. Do you have any objections?"

However, just as Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, Tsunade stepped forward and said.

"Lady Tsunade, your meaning is..."

Nara Shinichi was very surprised to hear this, his expression hesitant and disbelieving, clearly finding it hard to believe that Tsunade would return to the battlefield.

Tsunade nodded and said, "That's right, this is a critical moment. Moreover, I was attacked by Hidden Mist, which indicates Hidden Mist has an even bigger conspiracy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ambushed me like this. So it's time to return the favor. We can't do nothing."

Bai Mu was right, her heart truly wasn't big. Don't let her appearance fool you; she's the number one person in the Naruto World with a broad mind, and only Samui can contend with her.

However, when it comes to her personal feelings, her heart is truly not big.

Everyone in the tent had different thoughts, but most looked towards Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Reijin, because these two were the commander and vice-commander.

Therefore, this matter depended on the intentions of these two, and their current attitude would undoubtedly determine the attitude of the majority.

"I support it!"

A faint voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The speaker was surprisingly Bai Mu.

No, you, an Uchiha, supporting Tsunade taking over command? Isn't there something wrong with that? Are you sure you didn't say the wrong thing? It's a bit abstract.

"Lady Tsunade, I also support it." Hyuga Reijin replied, his expression firm and his tone unquestionable, as if to say he wasn't joking, but genuinely thought so.

Nara Shinichi, seeing this, immediately felt a headache. Even though the Nara Clan is known for its intelligence, the current situation was truly incomprehensible.

Why would Uchiha Bai Mu say that?

Does this young man have some ulterior motive?

Moreover, it wasn't heard that this person was a dove faction member of the Uchiha, belonging to the moderate faction. It was unheard of. More importantly, this guy seemed very low-key, neither hot nor cold, truly without any sense of presence. But it was unexpected that this time he came out with the matter of supporting Tsunade, which was truly unbelievable.

However, there was no need for him to ponder these matters now, because he needed to give a clear answer. Now the representative of the Hyuga Clan had already given his support.

Hyuga Reijin's meaning was that all the Hyuga Clan Ninja on the front line supported it, so he, a Nara Clan Ninja, couldn't remain indifferent.

Also, Ninja from other minor Ninja Clans were also waiting to see. Although their number wasn't large, this was a Jonin meeting, concerning the major matter of front-line command. There couldn't be no statement, so he needed to state his position.

"If Lady Tsunade is willing to take over, given your experience, it would naturally be excellent." Nara Shinichi spoke relatively more subtly, knowing he couldn't offend the Uchiha.

It wouldn't matter in the Village, but they were outside now, and there were the most Uchiha Ninja here, so it was best not to offend them if possible.

And his starting point was that Tsunade had experience from the Second Ninja War, having commanded large forces and possessing rich combat experience, she was naturally qualified to be a commander.

"Clan Head Fugaku, what do you say?"

Tsunade was very direct and didn't beat around the bush.

Instead, she looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who had not yet expressed his stance, and asked for his opinion.

What's my opinion?

With so many people supporting her now, my opinion is clearly not important anymore.

What Uchiha Fugaku hadn't expected was that Bai Mu would directly support Tsunade, and more critically, Tsunade was so strange, insisting on taking charge of the front-line war.

The question is, is this appropriate for you?

Without the Hokage's order, are you going to forcibly intervene? In what capacity? Yes, your status is special, and your influence is undeniable, but it can't be this outrageous.

In short, for Uchiha Fugaku, this matter was relatively difficult to accept, but the problem was that there were many supporters, and his usual weakness led him not to dare to object.

If I directly oppose this, will I offend Tsunade?

And if I offend Tsunade, then... "Lady Tsunade, I have no objection."

Uchiha Fugaku's lack of opposition caused several of the Uchiha Jonin behind him to have strong opinions, and these were naturally the hawk faction members.

"Clan Head, do you think this is appropriate?"

"That's right, why?"

Uchiha Kyo, Uchiha Mirai, these were hawk faction members among the hawk faction, with extremely radical ideologies. Seeing Uchiha Fugaku directly compromise and bow to Tsunade, who was a Senju Clan member, how could they accept that?

Of course not, and what's more, there was Bai Mu's action. As an Uchiha Clan member, he actually supported Tsunade, an outsider?

You support an outsider, are you worthy of the Uchiha Clan? And you're supporting Tsunade, who is from the Senju Clan. Do you have no Uchiha pride?

"Do you have objections?"

Tsunade looked coldly at Uchiha Kyo and the others who objected, asking in a cold tone.

"That's right, Tsunade, don't think you're great just because you have people supporting you, and you... Uchiha Bai Mu, are you even a member of my Uchiha Clan?"

Uchiha Kyo was very unyielding, not only questioning Tsunade but also pointing his spear at Bai Mu, implicitly accusing him of not considering the interests of the Uchiha Clan and instead working for outsiders.

"Oh? Are you questioning me?"

Bai Mu's Sharingan instantly appeared, his ocular power pressuring Uchiha Kyo and Uchiha Mirai. The pressure from his Three Tomoe Sharingan made the Uchiha Jonin present feel immense pressure.

This was clearly a Three Tomoe Sharingan, everyone had the same, but why was the pressure this kid gave them so immense?

The Uchiha Clan Jonin clearly felt something was wrong, and the pressure Uchiha Kyo and Uchiha Mirai, who faced Bai Mu directly, endured was so great that they couldn't even speak, only standing there motionless.

Uchiha Fugaku, on the other hand, was inwardly churning with turbulent waves. This kind of pressure... could it be the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Otherwise, it truly didn't make sense.

If that's the case, he couldn't act rashly.

"Enough, stop arguing. This matter has been decided. Lady Tsunade is indeed the most suitable commander at the moment. Her experience is more extensive than mine. However, we still need to send the front-line news back to the Village as soon as possible to make the best decision."

Uchiha Fugaku chose to stop them, but he stopped Uchiha Kyo and the others. If Bai Mu truly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, then it wouldn't be an equal fight.

Three Tomoe and Mangekyo are worlds apart, and Uchiha Fugaku knew this very well because he himself was like that. So, they couldn't really start fighting; that would cause trouble.
