We need the strong, and we also need the cannon fodder.
We must do both!
It has to be said that Black Zetsu is now somewhat ruthless. In order to ensure his mother's resurrection, he not only collects the genes of strong individuals to prepare for the future Impure World Reincarnation.
Those cannon fodder ninjas, that is, chunin and genin, or even ordinary people, were all targeted by Black Zetsu.
If a thousand people aren't enough, then ten thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand—anything goes. As long as we can create a massive army of Impure World Reincarnation soldiers, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work.
Anyway, as long as more White Zetsu are produced, creating an army of Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu) isn't a problem. Inferior White Zetsu can be used for Edo Tensei, since those resurrected are all cannon fodder anyway. Comparing the two types of cannon fodder, Edo Tensei at least has an immortal body, covered in explosive tags, and its power... well...
Yes, that's still possible, so the plan is feasible and worth a try.
Feeling pressured by Whitebeard's threats, coupled with Obito's extreme unreliability, Black Zetsu was truly driven insane.
Whether it succeeds or not is not important, as long as it gets done, at least it can serve as cannon fodder. But the explosive tags need money... well, everything is back to square one: make money!
Therefore, Kirigakure must be controlled, because they have manpower, funds, and the ability to mobilize resources to develop military equipment, especially explosive tags, which are easy for us to produce. Working ourselves to the bone for a year would probably not be enough to match what they produce in a month!
Chapter 250 Tsunade: I just want to drink.
On the streets of Konoha.
Bai Mu, Irene, and Tsunade were strolling around.
Half a month has passed since Alice Lise returned to the village. She is still busy with work, while Esdeath has led the elite of the Anbu and a ninja clan of three thousand people to settle in the Land of Grass, only one kilometer away from the border of the Land of Earth.
The objective is very clear: to threaten.
Because formal talks between Konoha and Iwagakure are already underway, and Esdeath's presence with troops on the border of the Land of Earth is intended to intimidate Onoki, the Tsuchikage...
You need to know how to do things.
Therefore, Esdeath was not in the village, and Alice Lizard was busy with government affairs, so the only ones out for a stroll were Shiramaki, Irene, and the Fourth Hokage Tsunade, who, despite being the Hokage, did not concern herself with anything.
Konoha is now powerful and renowned externally, and its internal strength is equally formidable.
After all, the unruly people of Konoha cannot be tolerated.
If you spoil them, things could easily go wrong.
Therefore, stability remains the top priority within Konoha, and the Security Department has set a very good example in this regard, with impeccable performance.
"I don't even want to say anything about what you did this time." Tsunade's complaint was very obvious, all because Bai Mu's actions were really too outrageous.
The plan was supposed to be just a show of force against Iwagakure, but the result was that two tailed beasts were captured, and Iwagakure had to pay 2 billion yen in compensation, along with all of its ninjutsu...
Good heavens, you went out for a short trip and destroyed another ninja village?
The key point is that they also killed thousands of Iwa ninja, at least three or four thousand people, which has a huge impact!
"Tsunade, are you dissatisfied, or do you think this isn't ruthless enough?" Bai Mu turned to look at Tsunade and asked softly.
Tsunade's perfect body, under that tea-green outer robe, exuded a unique mature and alluring charm. Her round, white, and fleshy thighs, wrapped in capri pants, outlined her full, firm, and yet soft side.
Plump and full, yet slender, and most importantly, the meat in the right places is real meat!
"That's not what I meant, don't misunderstand." Tsunade denied it outright, not wanting Bai Mu to misunderstand and get herself involved.
After all, as soon as Bai Mu came back, he gave her a good beating. I really don't know what Eileen and Esdeath did, couldn't they be satisfied?
Furthermore, does "not ruthless enough" mean they feel they haven't exploited Iwagakure enough? Is it necessary to wipe them out? If so…
Um, I have no ideas.
Or rather, I can't make the decision. In this particular incident, you were the ones who made the decisions, while I had no say in it.
"You see, the problem this time is that our actions against Iwagakure were a bit too arrogant, to the point that they've started to secretly cooperate..."
At this point, Tsunade frowned slightly, as if realizing something was amiss, and quickly corrected herself, saying, "Oh, it's an alliance."
A joint effort... well, it's not exactly troublesome, but it's definitely not a good thing.
This is definitely not a good thing for Konoha.
Tell me, is this acceptable?
"A rabble, where is the threat?" Eileen, still wearing a trench coat that concealed her voluptuous and mature figure, and high-heeled boots, dismissed Tsunade's question with disdain.
She didn't want to say anything, but the other person kept nagging, which annoyed her.
"Of course there is a threat. You don't care, you definitely don't care, because you are strong enough to not see it as a threat. But Konoha is different."
Tsunade knew Irene's temper and could understand her disdain, but the problem was that you were not afraid, while Konoha was. Your invincibility did not mean that Konoha was invincible.
As the Hokage of Konoha, I cannot ignore the safety of the majority of people. Although war has broken out, the enemy may not be able to reach the heart of Konoha, but some dirty tricks are hard to guard against!
"What's the difference? If the enemy attacks, we deal with the enemy. Can a bunch of scoundrels pose a threat?" Eileen maintained her stance: if there are no threats, then they are still scoundrels and pose no threat at all.
Tsunade: "..." (afai) I have to say, you're way too arrogant.
But it's truly domineering; I can't help but admire it.
"I'm not sure if there's any threat involved, but this could have been done better. But what's done is done, so what's next?"
Tsunade knew what was going on. The deed was done, and there was no point in saying anything more. After a brief complaint, she needed to understand the next steps in the plan.
Bai Mu definitely has other plans, and Tsunade is well aware of this, so she really wants to know the truth behind it all; she has to find out.
"Let's go eat some barbecue first," Bai Mu said casually in response to the question.
It's not a good time to talk outside, let's find a barbecue restaurant and talk while we eat.
"Who's treating me?"
This is Tsunade's problem.
Eileen didn't care; it didn't matter whether she ate it or not, and she might as well eat the pastries she made.
"It's my treat." Bai Mu didn't care about money, because he didn't care about such trivial matters.
"Who's eating the barbecue? Eileen doesn't care what she eats, so she probably won't eat much. I like alcohol, but I don't care about meat, so it's you who's eating it?"
Tsunade began to analyze the situation, her expression even becoming serious.
Bai Mu: "???"
It's just a barbecue.
Is this kind of analysis necessary?
I have to say, you're out of your mind.
Without a doubt, Bai Mu genuinely believed that Tsunade was abnormal.
"Tsunade, do you think this is normal? Eating barbecue doesn't mean anything, you know?"
I know!
But wasn't I here to drink?
Tsunade muttered to herself, "I just want to drink!"
"Alright, hurry up, don't linger outside too long, I don't like it." Eileen said, "This outfit covers me up completely, it's really not breathable at all, doesn't it know how uncomfortable I am?"
"it is good."
"That's it."
Bai Mu arrived at a barbecue restaurant, which was one of the businesses of the Akimichi clan. It was a restaurant owned by them, and choosing a restaurant owned by the Akimichi family was naturally for the sake of quality.
We chose a private room, ordered the food and drinks, and once everything was ready, we could start grilling the meat.
Since it's something he likes to eat, Bai Mu will definitely do it himself.
In this respect, neither Tsunade nor Irene are up to par.
It's better to do it yourself.
Furthermore, grilling meat isn't just about controlling the heat; the sauce is also crucial, and Shiramu personally prepares it to ensure its deliciousness...
Tsunade couldn't wait any longer and poured herself a cup, chugging it down her throat.
"Okay, this wine is really good."
For Tsunade, a single cup of wine wouldn't normally make her this happy, but since Bai Mu had abstained from alcohol for quite some time after his return, this cup of wine was something she had been waiting for for many days, so naturally she was delighted.
After several cups, a blush appeared on Tsunade's delicate face. She praised the wine highly, saying it was indeed excellent.
Chapter 251 Might Makes the Best of It
"It's no fun to just drink without eating."
Bai Mu put a few slices of meat on her plate and gave Tsunade a warning.
Drinking alcohol without eating meat is definitely not acceptable. I'm saying this to remind you, but don't think I'm targeting you personally; that's not right!
"I know, but there's nothing I can do. I drink like this... sigh, it's all your fault." Tsunade's face showed a helpless expression, and she started complaining again.
What does this have to do with me?
This is all your fault. You are the one who made the mistake. If you hadn't restricted my drinking, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Sometimes it's because you're so heartless that I'm so tempted to drink!
"I forced you? You're really talking nonsense." Bai Mu was truly speechless. I told you to drink less, or even to abstain from alcohol, all for your own good.
Being an alcoholic is not a good thing.
Furthermore, your drinking habits are truly appalling.
Considering all these reasons, do you think I should forbid you from drinking? Sometimes it's not that I want to do it, but that you make me do it...
Honestly, you should look for the reasons within yourself. Stop blaming others for your mistakes, you know? The fault doesn't lie with anyone else, it lies with you.
"Let's get down to business."
As Eileen put a piece of meat into her mouth, she also interrupted the pointless argument between Bai Mu and Tsunade, telling them to get down to business and stop with the nonsense.
"Yes, it's important business, that's what we should talk about." Bai Mu nodded, not objecting. Indeed, it was important to talk about important business, there was nothing wrong with that.
“Onoki will not be willing to accept this. Although I forced him to submit, this submission was forced and was not what he wanted.”
Is Onoki willing to accept this?
They certainly wouldn't accept that, so seeking other solutions is perfectly reasonable, and uniting with other ninja villages to fight against Konoha...
