"Lady Tsunade, I think you might be being targeted," Bai Mu said slowly, his expression serious.

Tsunade's expression was somewhat amused as she sized up Bai Mu, and she scoffed, "What did you say?"

Am I being targeted?

This joke is not funny at all.

She simply took Bai Mu's words as an attempt to stop her from leaving, and as a way for him to use her influence to gain power and profit for the Uchiha clan.

Chapter 36 I've put up with you for a long time

Tsunade does have a bit of a crush on Haku, though she doesn't know why. Is it because he saved her?

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean Tsunade is a fool. Besides, she is well aware of Bai Mu's ambitions, and he didn't hide anything from her; he told her directly.

reform!

This is no simple matter.

To implement reforms, the village's existing structure and power structure must be broken, but the question is whether this can be allowed.

Obviously, that's impossible.

Those who have already benefited from the system are unlikely to easily relinquish their positions. Moreover, the idea that the Uchiha clan wants to implement reforms, and that a mere youth like you can attempt to do such things, is simply a pipe dream.

"Kid, don't say things to make me laugh. It's not funny at all."

Doesn't Tsunade believe it?

This was not surprising to Bai Mu.

He understood this, but the fact was that Tsunade was indeed being targeted, even if it was because of him that she was implicated. Being targeted was being targeted.

Furthermore, the person they've set their sights on is Uchiha Madara!

"Lady Tsunade, why do you think you were attacked?" Bai Mu asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

"why?"

Tsunade was stunned.

I can't believe I was asked that.

However, the attack on her was indeed somewhat strange. She was attacked by the Hidden Mist Anbu inexplicably, and the key point is that Uchiha Hakumaki, Alice Lisze, and Esdeath saved her.

Honestly, is it really that much of a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Tsunade blurted out subconsciously, "You don't mean to say that these people came for you, but I just happened to run into them?"

Bai Mu smiled and said softly, "More or less, but the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure is clearly not quite normal, didn't you notice?"

Upon hearing Bai Mu's words, Tsunade was completely baffled, her expression revealing confusion: "Something's not normal?"

In response to Tsunade's question, Bai Mu calmly explained: "He is a Kage. As the leader of Kirigakure, he hates me, a young Uchiha, to the core. Moreover, he keeps saying 'Uchiha Bai Mu, I will kill you.' Isn't there a problem with that?"

“You’re from the Uchiha clan, and you’ve performed exceptionally well on the battlefield, so it’s not surprising that we know you.” Tsunade frowned slightly, pondering whether she was right or wrong, but then gave a reasonable explanation.

Besides, you doubt the Third Mizukage?

The problem is that he's targeting you so aggressively. Could it be that he knows you're a talented young person and wants to take the initiative to eliminate you, causing Konoha to lose a future potential star? That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Bai Mu continued, "The Third Mizukage has been controlled. The mastermind behind this is targeting me, and also wants to eliminate you. This situation is extremely serious because it's targeting both the Uchiha and Senju clans simultaneously..."

Targeting the Uchiha and Senju?

Is this kid exaggerating on purpose?

The bigger the story, the more likely it is to fool people.

However, Tsunade remained skeptical. She didn't quite believe what Bai Mu was saying, feeling that he was just trying to fool her, but what was his purpose...?

Wait, it's still about this reform.

Ultimately, it all boils down to a struggle for power and profit.

Tsunade didn't like these things.

All that talk about Naruto is just for personal gain.

Since her great-grandfather and second great-grandfather passed away, the third Hokage took over. He was alright when he was young, but his problems became more and more prominent as he got older. The most direct problem was his obsession with power. He talked about the Will of Fire, but in reality, he did something else entirely, which Tsunade found extremely annoying.

Furthermore, the decline of the Senju clan was undoubtedly due to the machinations of those old fogies like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. Even if Tsunade had suspicions, she had no evidence, and the banner they were using was the political ideology of the Second Hokage.

Integrate into the village!

If you don't fit in, do you have a problem with the second generation?

As for why it had to be the Senju clan of the forest, it's because the Second Hokage always said that the Senju clan should take the lead in integrating into the village, and we were simply following our master's dying wish.

Tsunade was deeply affected by the death of her younger brother Nawaki. In addition, with fewer and fewer relatives around her, her clansmen integrating into the village, and the decline of her clan, this series of blows led her to become disheartened and simply choose to escape, unwilling to face the increasingly dark side of the village.

"Don't tell me that. According to you, who's targeting the Uchiha clan? Does that mean Kirigakure is colluding with certain people in the village?"

The more Tsunade thought about it, the more agitated she became. Her fists were already clenched. If she didn't know Bai Mu's strength, she probably would have already attacked. But because she knew how powerful Bai Mu was, she held back.

Would someone really say something like this just to gain power and profit?

Although she knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had selfish motives, she didn't think he would do something like this, even if it was to weaken the Uchiha clan.

After all, he is the Hokage of Konoha only if Konoha is there, and if it is not there, he is nothing and has no power as the Hokage.

Bai Mu shrugged and laughed, "You see, I didn't say it was people from the village, but you naturally thought of them, so you know that these people are capable of anything for power."

"I didn't mean that."

Tsunade's face was grim, and she said with some irritation.

"You didn't mean that? But you still said it that way, which means that's what you really think." Tsunade's vehement denial was useless, and it only emboldened Bai Mu to continue teasing her.

"I'm not."

Her expression changed instantly, and she threw a punch at Bai Mu.

I've really put up with you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life, would I be so polite to you? Now you're taking advantage of my kindness. I have to teach you a lesson.

However, the moment Tsunade made her move, her fist was covered in ice.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade's expression changed slightly, and with a slight exertion of force, she shattered the ice on her fist.

After shattering the ice, she said rather unhappily, "You can actually use ice magic? What's wrong with you, kid? What's your relationship with those two women?"

To be honest, she was very suspicious that Bai Mu's relationship with Esdeath and the others was a little too close, and that it was clearly not that simple.

In response to Tsunade's suspicions, Bai Mu calmly explained.

"Well, it's not that complicated. We just have a good relationship, but that's not important. Lady Tsunade, please let me finish. When I said the Third Mizukage was being controlled, I didn't mean he was colluding with some people in Konoha. Please understand this clearly and don't misunderstand."

control?

Nonsense!

Tsunade didn't believe it. How could the Kage of a village be controlled? It was absolutely impossible. She simply didn't believe it.

"Are you kidding me?"

She flicked the ice shards off her hands and said coldly, "I told you, don't joke with me."

Chapter 37 My grandfather is gone, how could Uchiha Madara be alive?

"Uchiha Madara!"

Bai Mu spoke slowly.

Tsunade's expression suddenly froze.

She blurted out instinctively, "That's impossible!"

Are you kidding me?

You're being ridiculous!

Madara Uchiha, a guy who's been dead for so long, are you using him as a shield? And Madara Uchiha is your ancestor from the Uchiha clan, how can you treat him like this?

Tsunade believes that Hakubaki is smearing her and pinning the blame on a dead person, but if you say that, I'd suspect it's you who's behind it.

Although she didn't want to have such doubts, Bai Mu's actions forced her to.

Bai Mu said calmly, "Nothing is impossible, because this is the fact. Uchiha Madara is not dead. He is still alive, albeit barely. But the fact is that he is alive."

“My grandfather is gone, how could Madara Uchiha be alive?” Tsunade didn’t believe it, especially since Bai Mu himself said it, which wasn’t enough for her to believe.

Without evidence, it's unreliable and cannot be believed.

Bai Mu explained, "The Uchiha have a secret technique called Izanagi. It is a ninjutsu that can modify reality. It can turn things that happen to you in a certain period of time into things that never happened, and only turn things that are to your advantage into reality. In the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha set up Izanagi in advance, which is why he was able to come back to life."

"It's so mysterious, I don't believe it!" Tsunade became restless as she listened to Bai Mu's words, pacing back and forth inside the tent.

Bai Mu smiled slightly and said softly, "I am Uchiha. Do you believe me or not? This secret technique exists, and Uchiha Madara is not dead. The reason he controlled the Third Mizukage to come at me is probably because he thought I would ruin his plans."

"You ruined his plans?"

Tsunade looked at Bai Mu with a hint of pity in her eyes and said, "Let's not talk about whether Uchiha Madara is alive or not. If he really is alive, would he be afraid of you? Would he care that you're ruining his plans? That's Uchiha Madara, are you out of your mind?"

Given the terrifying strength of her grandfather and Madara Uchiha, how could Tsunade not know?

That's crystal clear.

Moreover, although Hashirama Senju passed away early, Tobirama Senju's doting on her was no less than that of Hashirama Senju. So, how could she not know the power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha after being exposed to it all?

Tsunade knew this very well, which is why she knew that if Madara Uchiha were truly alive, no one in the entire ninja world could stop him from doing anything. Therefore, what Bai Mu said was simply not convincing.

Bai Mu's eyes were calm, as if he was unaware of the pity in Tsunade's eyes. He simply said, "He is alive, but wouldn't he grow old after all these years? However, he has his own plans and is secretly plotting to find a proxy to carry out the resurrection plan after he dies."
