Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 93 A Plan to Turn the Tide

"Sister!" Rope Tree exclaimed immediately, "This is too dangerous! Knowing it's a trap, why would we fall for it?"

Shikaku also spoke up to dissuade her: "Lady Tsunade, I know you want to use this as a pretext, but it's too dangerous. The people of Sunagakure will only make a move when you're alone. Once there's any other disturbance, they definitely won't act."

"The situation is in our hands now, there's no need to take any risks."

"That's right! Sis, if something happens to you, when Lu Shi comes back, he'll definitely be heartbroken!" Rope Tree was already somewhat incoherent.

Tsunade smacked Nawaki on the head.

"Can't you wish your sister well for once! All this talk about whether something will happen to her!"

"I'm anxious! Just like you told me when we were kids, the battlefield is no child's play!" Nawaki's tone was full of determination.

Tsunade looked at Nawaki, a hint of gentleness appearing in her eyes, and extended her right hand.

Rope Tree thought he was going to be hit again, so he instinctively closed his eyes.

The expected pain didn't come. Instead, Tsunade ruffled Nawaki's hair. "You've grown up, you know how to care about your older sister now. But I'm different from you. Yours is impulsive, I have my trump cards!"

"But!"

"No buts, I am the commander-in-chief of the Sand Village battlefield! What you need to do now is obey orders!" Tsunade's tone was firm. That brat Shikatoki, he's always going into seclusion and disappearing all the time.

Each disappearance worried her, but Tsunade reassured herself that Shika would be alright.

But I can't help but overthink it!

What an annoying guy!

Seeing that Tsunade had made up her mind, Nara Shikaku sighed deeply, "What a hassle!"

"Lady Tsunade, I don't know what your trump card is, but I need a guarantee!" Nara Shikatoki's eyes were serious, and the laziness in his tone had dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

Tsunade and Nawaki both quieted down.

This was the first time they had ever seen Nara Shikaku like this.

"Oh? What kind of guarantee do you want?" Tsunade asked with interest.

"Just how far can Lady Tsunade's trump cards go?" Nara Shikaku hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm asking this question as Nara Shikatoki's cousin!"

Tsunade paused, remained silent for a moment, and finally said, "I know you're worried, but I can say for sure that as long as I use my trump card, I can at least escape unscathed, if not sweep the entire Sand Village battlefield!"

"That's fine."

"6

Upon hearing this, Shikaku said nothing more.

Nawaki looked at Nara Shikaku, who was silent, opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Alright, alright, go get ready. I'll be leaving the camp first thing tomorrow morning!"

Shikaku and Nawaki walked out of the tent.

Nawaki couldn't help but ask, "Shikaku, how did you agree? What did we talk about on the way here?"

"Lady Tsunade, it's already been decided. Neither you nor I can change it. All we can do is try to reduce the pressure on Lady Tsunade," Shikaku said earnestly.

Nawaki scratched his head. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Shikaku's eyes flickered. "Listen to my arrangements tomorrow."

"Alright! As long as you understand."

Nawaki completely trusts Shikaku. Putting aside the fact that Shikaku is Shikatoki's cousin, Nawaki is already impressed by Shikaku's strategies on the Sunagakure battlefield during this period.

Since Shikaku said he would follow his arrangements, he must have made some preparations.

The next morning, Tsunade left the Konoha camp early.

According to Shikaku, there was no excessive concealment or deliberate exposure; it was just like a regular patrol.

After Tsunade entered Sunagakure some distance away...

Sunagakure Village naturally received the news.

"Sister, the latest intelligence has arrived. Tsunade has entered the Land of Wind. If nothing unexpected happens, her target should be Sunagakure!" Ebizo's tone was tinged with excitement.

"Great! Tsunade has finally taken the bait."

Luo Sha stood up excitedly, "When do we make our move!"

"Wait!" Yekura interrupted, "I feel something's not right. Isn't this too relaxed?"

"ha?"

Luo Sha looked at Ye Cang with dissatisfaction.

"Yakura! You were the one who said you'd capture Tsunade, and now you're the one backing down. Are you scared? If you're scared, then don't go. I'm here, that's enough!"

Yecang wasn't angry. "I'm just stating the facts; this is a reasonable assumption."

"Tch, a coward is a coward!"

Upon hearing this, Yekura stopped talking and looked at Chiyo.

Chiyo tapped the table lightly, then slowly asked, "What's the situation at the Konoha camp? Has the Senju clan made a move?"

"No, it's very quiet."

Ebizo shook his head.

Rasa stood up even more excitedly, "Lady Chiyo! This is a golden opportunity! We can't let it slip away—"

""

Chiyo also understood that this was an opportunity.

"Ebizo, take your ninjas to the border of the Land of Wind to confront the ninjas of Konoha, focusing on defense."

"Ye Cang, you and Luo Sha go find Fen Fuku. Meet at the camp in ten minutes!"

Regardless of whether Konoha knows about their plan.

As long as Tsunade comes alone, they have a chance.

Yecang understood that the die was cast and could not be cast, so he stopped talking and nodded before leaving.

Luo Sha glanced at Ye Cang with a hint of smugness.

"Yakura, I don't know what's wrong with you. Ever since you were defeated by Nara Shika multiple times, you've become so timid and submissive!" Rasa seemed to be speaking for Yokura's sake, but in reality, he couldn't hide his sarcasm.

Yekura glanced at Rasa, and finally said slowly, "That's fine too."

Seeing that Yekura wasn't taking the bait, Rasa shook his head in disbelief.

"This is pointless! Let's find Master Fenfu instead!"

Tsunade had been gone for an hour, and Sunagakure remained peaceful, while Nawaki was getting anxious.

"Stop spinning!"

Shikaku stared at Nawaki speechlessly.

Rope Tree grabbed Shikaku's shoulder. "Shikaku, your older sister has been gone for so long, why haven't we heard anything from her?"

""

Shikaku rolled her eyes. "It's only been an hour, don't be in such a hurry, okay?"

"How could I not be anxious? That's enemy territory!"

"Therefore, we should remain calm!"

Just then, a scout entered the tent. "Lord Nawaki, latest intelligence: Chiyo, Rasa, and Yokura haven't shown up for half an hour. Only Ebizo has appeared occasionally!"

Shikaku's eyes flashed. "Just as I thought!"

"Shikaku!"

Rope Tree looked at Deer.

"Get ready, we're launching an attack!"

"What?" A Jonin from the Sarutobi clan hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Hokage's strategy is defensive. Wouldn't it be bad for us to take the initiative to attack?"

"Sunagakure wants to ambush Tsunade and also defend their camp. How can you have it all? You can't have your cake and eat it too!" Shikaku completely ignored the Jonin who was speaking and looked at Nawaki instead.

"Taking the initiative to attack would not only allow us to probe the true situation in Sunagakure, but also alleviate Tsunade's condition. What do you think?"

Rope Tree did not hesitate at all.

"Senju clan members, prepare yourselves! We'll launch a surprise attack on the Sunagakure camp in ten minutes!"

"Rope Tree, you!"

Before the Jonin could say anything more, Nawaki interrupted him.

"I am now the current head of the Senju clan! You'd better think carefully before you speak!"

The chakra emanating from Nawaki was locked onto the Jonin.

The Senju clan naturally has a lot of chakra. Although Nawaki did not inherit Wood Release, he is Hashirama Senju's grandson!

Even if their strength is poor, they are still far superior to a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan!

Faced with such pressure, the Jonin kept quiet.

"snort!"

Nawaki snorted coldly, "Go and inform the people in the camp: those who are willing can fight the Senju clan, and those who are unwilling should return to Konoha immediately after this is over!"

The Senju clan members' eyes were filled with fanaticism.

How long?

Since Tobirama Senju demanded the abolition of surnames, how long has it been since the Senju clan has had a clan leader with such courage!

I never imagined that the clumsy little rope tree from my childhood would grow to this size.

It seems that the once crumbling tree, the Senju, has found its backbone again!

"I will obey the clan chief's orders!"

"I will obey the clan chief's orders!"

The Senju clan's momentum has surged to unprecedented heights.

The camp mainly consisted of three groups: the Senju clan, the Uzumaki clan, and ordinary ninjas led by the Sarutobi clan.

The Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are practically inseparable.

Now, they can command a huge following.

The remaining ordinary ninjas looked at each other, and finally all looked at the grim-faced Jonin, Sarutobi.

"What are you looking at me for? Go get ready!"
