Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 151 Going to the Battlefield

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and said softly with some concern, "Is your illness alright?"

To be honest, as her teacher, he felt very bad about Tsunade's condition, and he had tried to persuade her many times over the years.

He even allowed Tsunade to drink and gamble.

But this time, the situation is far too serious.

Tsunade didn't appreciate Hiruzen Sarutobi's good intentions, and coldly said with a hint of resentment, "Since you know I'm sick, why do you still send me to the battlefield? Do you want me to die on the battlefield like Dan and Nawaki?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face stiffened; these words left him speechless.

It seems that Tsunade also harbors resentment towards him.

Jiraiya noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's embarrassment, glanced at Tsunade, and stood up, saying:

"Old man, why don't you let me go? I just came from there and I've dealt with Chiyo before, so I'm quite familiar with her."

After saying that, he looked deeply at the woman he had loved all his life, hoping to change his image in Tsunade's eyes through this incident.

"Shut up, did I say I wasn't going?"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Tsunade glared at Jiraiya and then lightly punched him in the stomach with her right hand.

Don't underestimate Tsunade's light punch; it could easily kill a genin.

If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, she would have punched Jiraiya out of the Hokage Building.

"hiss"

Jiraiya clutched his stomach with both hands, wincing in pain for a long time before recovering. He looked at Tsunade with confusion, wanting to say something but afraid that Tsunade would hit him again.

Orochimaru, seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were both speechless after being rebuked by Tsunade, completely gave up the idea of ​​succeeding Tsunade.

Never mind, never mind.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

There are plenty of opportunities to find experimental subjects, but you only have one life. It's best not to provoke this eccentric woman.

Although he wasn't afraid of Tsunade, he still didn't want to get entangled with her over such a trivial matter.

The Hokage's office fell silent for a moment. After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Tsunade, so you agree to be the commander of this counterattack against the Land of Wind?"

Tsunade nodded.

After her younger brother and lover died on the battlefield, she had already begun to consider leaving Konoha.

But in the end, it was only because of her young age that she forced herself to stay.

He should have left the village with Shizune during the Third Shinobi World War.

But she never expected to be tricked by Chiga, who knew her weaknesses from an unknown person.

Hiruzen Sarutobi still hasn't figured out who knows Tsunade's weakness, so under these circumstances, he can't let Tsunade leave the village.

They even used the means of providing gambling funds to keep Tsunade at home for a period of time.

This dragged on until the Third Shinobi World War.

As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade may have developed a dislike for the village after the deaths of her brother and lover.

But deep down he still loved the village; otherwise, Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't have been able to successfully talk his way out of it.

Therefore, even if Tsunade is unwilling, she will still participate in this great battle.

"Alright, considering you're unable to fight and will only be able to stay in the command post, I'll appoint Sakumo as your deputy commander. There are some things you can do!"

Since Tsunade agreed, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, but considering Tsunade's actual situation, he still assigned Sakumo Hatake to her.

If it weren't for what happened to Sakumo Hatake, he would actually have been a suitable commander for this counterattack against the Land of Wind.

But after that incident, Hatake Sakumo joined the Anbu. While his reputation remained low, it also exposed a small weakness of his: he cared too much about his comrades.

As the saying goes, "A kind heart cannot command an army." In a major war between nations, if the enemy learns of this and takes advantage of it...

The consequences would be much more serious.

Tsunade didn't refuse and said directly, "Stop talking nonsense. We should hurry up and hold the Jonin meeting to formulate a battle plan."

"This is Tsunade!"

Looking at Tsunade's decisive and efficient demeanor, Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru nodded in agreement.

After confirming the commander, Hiruzen Sarutobi led the three legendary Sannin to the hall where the Jonin were being summoned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept it brief, only announcing that Tsunade would be the commander of the forces fighting against the Land of Wind, and mentioning how many ninjas would be dispatched.

Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, along with Sakumo Hatake leading three thousand Konoha ninja, were Hiruzen Sarutobi's means of dealing with the invasion of the Land of Wind.

After the Konoha leadership held a meeting of Jonin, Chiga's team also received the relevant notification.

That is, after Commander Tsunade led the main force to recapture the border of the Land of Fire, the command post was responsible for protecting the logistics personnel and supplies heading to the front line.

The shadow of war loomed over everyone's heart.

Nighttime, at Chiga's home.

Kushina helped Chiga pack the items she needed to take for the trip.

Shuriken, kunai, explosive tags, and soldier rations are all necessary consumables for war, and they are all supplied by Konoha's logistics department.

However, he also has some things that Konoha Village wouldn't provide, such as kunai for the Flying Thunder God technique and crow rations.

"Once you're on the front lines, report to Tsunade first."

"I've already spoken to Tsunade, and Shizune is in your team too. Tsunade will definitely find you a safe place to stay."

Kushina chattered on and on as she packed Chiga's bags.

As she spoke, she turned her head and, out of Chiga's sight, secretly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

Going on a mission and participating in war are completely different concepts.

On the battlefield, there are many ninjas and the situation is complex; no one can predict what kind of accident might happen.

Even knowing that Chiga possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kushina was still uneasy.

Having experienced the annihilation of her clan, she knew the cruelty of war and was therefore very reluctant to see Chika go to the battlefield.

But she also knew that as a Konoha ninja, she couldn't refuse orders.

"Don't worry, Kushina-sensei, you know perfectly well that taking my life isn't so easy!"

Chiga comforted Kushina.

"That old man is really something. He knew Asuma was still in your squad, yet he still sent you out to fight."

Kushina complained.

Upon hearing this, Chiga sighed and said, "The Third Hokage has already been taking care of us."

"What do you mean by that?" Kushina looked at Chiga with a puzzled expression.

"Kushina-sensei, think about it. Since the Land of Wind has already started the war, how far behind will the other countries be?"

"Konoha has once again occupied the most fertile land in the ninja world, rich in resources. Other major powers are envious and will likely launch a war soon."

"Compared to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind seems much more harmless!"
