Orochimaru reminded him, "Jiraiya, we probably need to go back. Putting Tsunade aside, Uchiha Hakubaki definitely won't let us stay outside, so we definitely have to go back."
“Go back then, don’t you want to go back?” Jiraiya blurted out instinctively, then realized his mistake.
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru said in a gloomy tone, "Then it depends on whether they are willing or not. I just said that Tsunade probably can't make the final decision. That Uchiha Hakubaki is the real mastermind."
Jiraiya shook his head, disagreeing, and said, "He is not the Hokage."
"so what?"
Orochimaru sneered upon hearing this, "The coup succeeded because of him, didn't it? Do you think Tsunade could have succeeded on her own?"
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya blurted out, "The problem is that Tsunade awakened Wood Release..."
"what?"
Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Orochimaru interrupted him: "You said Wood Release?"
Has Tsunade awakened Wood Release?
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
Orochimaru was really confused now, and he even had some resentment towards Jiraiya, thinking, "Why didn't you tell me this important news right away?"
Jiraiya, Jiraiya, were you doing this on purpose?
"Uh, sorry, I forgot." Jiraiya scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and looked rather helpless.
"How can you forget something like this? What am I supposed to say to you?" Orochimaru was speechless. He really couldn't figure out what Jiraiya was thinking or what he was thinking.
I know you can't accept what happened because of the teacher, but what can we do now that it's already happened?
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Tsunade awakening Wood Release is actually a good thing. At least it can keep Uchiha Hakumo in check. Although I still don't agree with her approach, as you said, what's done is done, and there's nothing we can say now. Perhaps if I were in the village, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."
Orochimaru scoffed at this idea, shaking his head and saying, "Give me a break, Jiraiya. Since Tsunade has decided to do this, you can't stop her. Even Sarutobi-sensei couldn't make her stop. Do you think you can?"
He paused briefly at this point, glancing at Jiraiya before continuing, "Neither you nor I can stop her."
What difference does it make if you're there?
I'm just overthinking it.
There was absolutely no way to stop Tsunade.
“You can’t say that. If you and I were here, Sarutobi-sensei might not have died.” Jiraiya was silent for a while before speaking.
If they were in the village, they might not have been able to stop the coup, but they could have prevented the Third Hokage from dying.
Orochimaru shook his head and snorted coldly, "Too naive, Jiraiya. You only know how to talk about Tsunade, but you've overlooked Uchiha Hakubaku. Tsunade's drastic changes are inseparable from him."
“Uchiha Hakumu, this young man is too strange. Could he be controlling Tsunade?” Jiraiya fell silent again. He had to admit that Orochimaru was right, so naturally he had his doubts.
"Whether it's under control or not, we'll talk about it when we get back." Orochimaru decided to go back. As for the situation on the front lines, he wouldn't worry about it. If Sunagakure wanted a ceasefire and peace talks, he would go to the village to discuss it.
We can't talk here; if you want to talk, go to Konoha.
Furthermore, Orochimaru was now thinking of going back to see what was going on, because Bai Mu had already caught his attention, and Tsunade's awakening of Wood Release seemed very strange, and he needed to go back to find out the truth.
Chapter 105 The Shocked Uchiha Madara
Hokage Building.
The traces of yesterday's fight have all been cleaned up.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat at her desk, looking at the pile of documents on it, and couldn't help but complain frantically.
"Why are there so many problems?"
"If I become Hokage, will I have to deal with so many documents? I won't have to review everything, big or small. Will I have to handle even the most trivial matters?"
Bai Mu sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea, while Esdeath served him. He seemed quite relaxed and carefree, which only fueled Tsunade's anger.
How can you be so relaxed?
Can't you see how busy I am? Can't you put in a little more effort?
That being said, the position of Hokage is not one that just anyone can sit in. Now I understand why you were unwilling; the task is simply too heavy.
"Can you really bear to see me so busy?"
Tsunade complained bitterly about this and expressed her strong dissatisfaction.
She slumped over her desk, which put pressure on people and caused them to become distorted.
"Hard to bear it." Bai Mu stared intently, admitting that he was indeed hard to bear watching. Don't try to play the emotional card with me; that won't work on me.
As he spoke, Bai Mu looked at Alice Lizard sitting next to him and added, "Besides, isn't Alice helping you? And she's the one who's busy, not you. You're just complaining."
Are you busy, 943?
No, you're just complaining.
Alice Lise is the one who's really busy, while you just complain and don't do anything at all. How dare you tell me you're busy?
"Forehead……"
Tsunade was embarrassed.
But she was thick-skinned and didn't care what Bai Mu said. Instead, she retorted confidently, "So what? I was the one guiding her, which is why Alice was able to handle it so smoothly. It's all thanks to my guidance, otherwise Alice wouldn't have been able to complete it."
"If that's the case, then you do it?" Alice Lise didn't want to say anything, but after hearing Tsunade's words, she looked at her and said.
Tsunade:"……"
No, are we being that serious?
I was just saying it casually, can't you just pretend you didn't hear me and keep working hard?
"Uh, cough cough, well..." Tsunade stammered, unsure how to answer Alice Lise's question.
"Alright, Alice, you continue dealing with this, don't pay attention to her." When Tsunade was in a dilemma, it was Bai Mu who came to her rescue.
Alice Lise may be rude to Tsunade, but she is completely obedient to Bai Mu and does whatever he says, so she definitely has to give him face.
She ignored Tsunade and instead buried herself in her work.
There's too much to do; we need to speed things up.
It must be completed before evening.
……
Mountain cemetery.
Inside a huge underground cave.
Madara Uchiha was already on his deathbed. He knew his days were numbered, but before he died, he still wanted to teach that idiot Obito how to carry out his plan.
Madara Uchiha succeeded in guiding Obito Uchiha into darkness, but he discovered that Obito's brain was indeed not up to par.
Madara Uchiha, who was sitting under the Gedo Mazo and surviving only thanks to the energy supplied by those pipes, learned from White Zetsu that a coup had actually occurred in Konoha.
The Uchiha clan, in alliance with the Senju princess, launched a coup and succeeded.
This earth-shattering change shocked even a powerful figure like Madara Uchiha.
"Ah Fei, is everything you're saying true?"
After a moment of distraction, Madara Uchiha looked at the most unique individual among the group of White Zetsu with a serious expression. He found it hard to believe.
"Of course, Lord Madara, there's absolutely no mistake, it's true." Although Tobi can be unreliable at times, he is very serious when it comes to important matters, especially when reporting to Uchiha Madara, in which case he will have his usual carefree attitude.
After confirming with Tobi that everything was correct, Madara Uchiha lowered his head and fell silent.
Obito Uchiha, standing to the side, watched with a furrowed brow, unsure of what to say.
Black Zetsu was just created and disguised as Madara Uchiha's will.
Needless to say, one cannot speak at this time.
Of course, Black Zetsu is against Maki...
That was extreme fear.
Previously, it wasn't just Uchiha Madara who was keeping an eye on Bai Mu; even Black Zetsu himself had been paying attention to Bai Mu. However, no one expected that the other party would actually do something like this, which was truly unexpected.
After a long silence, Madara Uchiha suddenly looked up and burst into laughter: "Haha, interesting, really interesting... Hashirama, do you know that your granddaughter actually joined forces with the geniuses of my Uchiha clan to launch a coup and directly seize the position of Hokage of Konoha?"
As he spoke, Madara Uchiha's expression changed again, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Tobirama Senju, you treacherous villain, you treated me like this, but in the end, the position of Hokage of Konoha still belongs to my Uchiha clan. What can you do about it!"
Hashirama Senju was a close friend with a deep bond.
Furthermore, the two sides have different philosophies.
As for Tobirama Senju...
Madara Uchiha truly hated.
"Lord Madara, Uchiha Hakumoku didn't become Hokage. The Fourth Hokage was Tsunade." Just as Uchiha Madara was feeling happy, Tobi suddenly said this.
Allow me to interrupt, the position of Hokage does not belong to Uchiha Hakumu, but to Tsunade!
"Is that Tsunade?"
Madara Uchiha was stunned.
Isn't that Uchiha Hakumu?
How could it be Tsunade? That doesn't make sense.
Based on his observations of Bai Mu, Madara Uchiha was well aware of his ambition and the depth of his cunning. His scheming was unmatched by anyone else, not even by an old guy like Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Whether in terms of strength, strategy, or even intrigue, the likes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are simply not worthy of competing with Shiro.
And as it turned out, Bai Mu made a swift and decisive move, taking them all down and firmly controlling Konoha. But why didn't he take the Hokage position?
Madara Uchiha was completely baffled. Was it due to pressure?
Impossible. People who dare to stage a coup cannot be under pressure.
Could it be a problem with my eyes...?
The problem is that in White Zetsu's report, there was nothing unusual about the other party's eyes, and the Mangekyou Sharingan was never shown, but the Susanoo was real, so Madara Uchiha is now very confused.
If it's not a problem with the eyes, then what is it?
"Lord Madara, Tsunade used a Wood Release ninjutsu. She seems to have awakened Wood Release," Tobi added, scratching his head.
