At this moment, Mabuyi fell into deep thought.
She was in a state of turmoil, unable to make a decision.
Unlike Mabui, Darui is determined to fight to the death.
He said in a deep voice, "What's there to think about? Let's just leave and go back to prepare for war. With such a dramatic change in Konoha, I don't believe that the morale of the people inside can remain stable. I'm afraid that most people will be dissatisfied with Tsunade taking this position. If a real war breaks out, Konoha may even experience internal strife."
Seeing this, Mabui quickly spoke up to stop them: "No, we came to Konoha for peace talks. If we go back without even talking, war will inevitably break out again. We can't afford the cost of war. If we lose again, we're finished."
It's easier said than done, but who can guarantee it?
Furthermore, Tsunade's awakening of Wood Release is of great significance to Konoha. Konoha is no longer as peaceful as it was during the Third Hokage's era; it has become more aggressive. We must not provoke Konoha any further.
However, upon hearing this, Darui became even more furious: "That can't be done! If we agree, what difference is there between us and defeat and annihilation?"
Afraid of being wiped out?
If you agree...
What is the difference between these two?
"Even so, we must talk, Darui. You must believe me, and don't forget Samui and Yukito." Seeing this, Mabui could only plead with Darui to trust him.
Darui was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at Mabuyi and saw that she was very tired. He immediately realized that she was under great pressure.
As the main person in charge of the peace talks, Mabuyi was under pressure that was far greater than that of Darui, so a sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in Darui's heart.
"I understand, Mabuyi."
compromise!
We are not as strong as others.
The only option is to compromise.
Darui felt an unprecedented humiliation at that moment, and he vowed to repay the village tenfold once the village's strength increased.
……
The Two-Tails Jinchuriki is imprisoned in the police department's jail.
She is under the care of Uchiha clan ninjas, while Samui works as a maid at Hakubaki's house.
Bai Mu sat on the tatami mat, looking very relaxed. Tsunade, sitting opposite him, leaned against the wall with her legs spread apart, and took a big gulp of tea from the table.
She acted very generously, but there's a big difference between drinking tea and drinking alcohol; it's not alcohol, it really has no taste.
"No wine?"
Tsunade looked at Samui, who was serving her, and asked if there was any sake.
Esdeath is sitting on the left, while Alice Lise is in a room, busy with work. Tsunade has left all the political affairs to her.
Samui, dressed in a maid outfit, knelt beside Bai Mu, displaying a docile and obedient demeanor that contrasted sharply with her previous cold and arrogant attitude.
"No alcohol here, so don't drink here."
Bai Mu looked at Tsunade with a very serious expression.
"It's so frustrating not to have any alcohol!" Tsunade took off her coat, revealing a sullen expression. She really loved alcohol and gambling, but the problem was that there were too many rules here with Shiramaki, so she couldn't even have any alcohol.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu smiled faintly and said, "Gambling or drinking, I let you choose. You chose to gamble, so there's no way you can drink."
Tsunade pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, and asked, "Then can I drink it at home?"
Is Chapter 112 my part?
"What do you say?"
Bai Mu looked at Tsunade with a half-smile and asked in return.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's lips twitched involuntarily, and she clicked her tongue in displeasure, knowing that it was impossible.
Tsunade was well aware of this; judging from Bai Mu's tone, it was clearly a no-go. So she had really dug a hole for herself, which was quite unpleasant.
"Fine, if you won't drink, then let's talk about peace talks. We can forget about Sunagakure; it's not difficult there. But the conditions for Kumogakure are a bit too harsh, and war could very well break out again. If you're not here, it might be a bit difficult..."
If the Hidden Cloud Village wants to fight, Tsunade is not afraid; she is ready to fight.
However, this is contingent on Bai Mu being present. If Bai Mu is absent, it would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the situation, making it much harder to suppress Yunyin.
Of course, Tsunade still had confidence in herself, which stemmed from the power of Wood Release. Moreover, she also had Esdeath and Alice Lisze, whose power was probably even more terrifying than hers. After all, they followed Hakubaki and created it themselves, so the power they acquired was definitely stronger than hers.
If we're talking about going all out, what does Kumogakure have to offer?
The Eight-Tails? That's nothing to worry about. Besides, Wood Release has an absolute power to counter Tailed Beasts, so Tsunade doesn't think the Eight-Tails is a threat.
Unless there are other exceptionally strong individuals within the Hidden Cloud Village, such as the Third Raikage, but is that even possible?
Tsunade felt that there shouldn't be any, so it didn't seem like there was anything to worry about. It was purely her own lack of confidence that caused this anxiety.
“You put Nara Shikaku in charge of the peace talks. He knows how to negotiate. Besides, Kumogakure doesn’t have the strength to continue the war right now. At most, they can only make some empty threats, which is useless.”
Bai Mu said casually, his expression relaxed, clearly not taking the matter to heart.
Will a fight break out?
That's good, we should continue.
Moreover, even without him, Konoha is now capable of handling the situation and has no need to worry about being unable to defeat him. Without that good-for-nothing who drags them down, Konoha has become even stronger.
Remember, Konoha today is not weakened, but rather strengthened, far surpassing the Konoha of the past.
"Alright, when are you leaving? So I can make some preparations and avoid being caught off guard." Upon hearing this, Tsunade decided to find out about Hakubaki's schedule.
"You? Flustered?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Mu's expression instantly turned strange upon hearing this. "How dare you, Tsunade, speak like that?" he thought. "I can only say that's a bit..."
Uh, that's a bit too shameless.
"What? What kind of look is that? Am I not busy? Don't think I'm not doing anything, I am actually doing something." Tsunade said with great dissatisfaction.
"Yes, you're busy, you're busy."
Bai Mu gave a perfunctory reply.
Seeing this, Tsunade was somewhat angry, but she still hung her head and remained silent.
"Alice and I will be here to oversee things, so Konoha will be safe. You can focus on your work. However, I hope you won't bring any women back with you."
At this moment, Esdeath, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
Samui had been sent away before Bai Mu spoke with Tsunade, so she spoke freely.
Tsunade rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and blurted out, "Bringing a woman?"
"Don't worry about it."
Bai Mu shrugged and said casually.
“I don’t think I can ignore it,” Esdeath said softly, narrowing her eyes, clearly indicating that she didn’t think it was necessary to ignore it.
"Oh, bringing women? I don't think that's a good habit of yours, and is it alright to bring so many people?" Tsunade muttered immediately upon hearing this.
I see you have quite a few women around you, especially a blue-haired one and a blonde one, right?
Oh, and me too, I'm a Golden Retriever.
Tsunade felt that things shouldn't go too far.
"Are there many people?"
Bai Mu countered with a question.
"Not many people?"
Tsunade felt a little numb.
Surprisingly, they didn't think there were too many people.
If that's the case, can I handle it?
And most importantly, can Konoha accommodate so many Gods of Slaughter? Well, I don't think so.
"Not much, really not much. Also, remember one thing: finalize the negotiations as soon as possible. And if any unexpected situation arises, be firm and don't back down."
Bai Mu reiterated his previous point, saying that there wasn't much to say, and also reminded Tsunade not to learn from Esdeath. He emphasized that Tsunade had many things to do and shouldn't think she could relax just because she left things to Alice.
Remember, you still need to deal with the things that need to be dealt with; don't forget that.
"I can't back down."
Tsunade snorted coldly.
She doesn't think she'd back down.
"You, don't just focus on the peace talks, pay close attention to the village's internal affairs too. Just a heads-up, keep an eye on the Hyuga clan..."
Seeing this, Bai Mu didn't continue talking about these things, but instead reminded Tsunade to pay more attention to the things she needed to be careful about.
Among them, the Hyuga clan is one that needs to be kept an eye on.
They might cause some trouble.
"Hinata?"
Tsunade curled her lip and said in a very disdainful tone, "Hyuga Hiashi is actually similar to Uchiha Fugaku. On the surface, he seems very strong, but in reality, he is a coward. However, considering the complexity of the Hyuga clan, with its main family and branch families, the Hyuga clan is not a threat. You don't need to worry."
"You can decide for yourself. Anyway, you're the Hokage now, so how you govern is your business," Bai Mu said calmly after hearing this.
Tsunade:"……"
Yes, yes, it's all my business.
She also knew that Bai Mu couldn't interfere too much, since he had already made it clear, so she still had to rely on herself, which shouldn't be too difficult.
"It's getting late, I think we can get down to business. There's no need to say anything more about these other things. Anyway, with Alice and me here, nothing can go wrong. Even if Madara Uchiha came, nothing would happen, and he should be dead by now."
Esdeath clearly didn't like discussing these matters, and moreover, she had other motives, so she intervened, not giving Tsunade a chance to continue her nonsense.
However, Tsunade was a little confused. She frowned slightly and looked at Esdeath with a puzzled expression, asking, "What does 0.3 mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Tsunade's question, a sly glint flashed in Esdeath's eyes. She gave Tsunade a meaningful look and said, "This is actually quite easy to understand. Hakubaki is leaving for a while. Do you know what that means?"
