Kushina, simple and straightforward in her thinking, quickly calmed down after Mikoto's words and turned her frustration toward Minato.
"You nearly scared me to death, Minato! You're in trouble now! Get back here!"
"...."
Who'd be dumb enough to stick around? Minato thought. Kushina was already furious-standing still would just mean getting smacked.
Without hesitation, Minato jumped out the window and vanished in an instant.
Kushina, fuming, ran after him, with Uchiha Mikoto following close behind to keep her from really starting a fight with Minato.
"That Minato! He's always trying to scare me," Kushina muttered, still seething.
"Phew..."
Suddenly, Nawaki froze, his neck stiffening as he slowly turned to look at the scattered venison and broth on the floor.
"Minato!!"
His furious shout echoed down the hospital halls, startling the nearby doctors. But Minato was already long gone, too far away to hear the anger in Nawaki's voice.
Meanwhile, miles away from Konoha, Tsunade was still hard at work.
The number of injured being brought to the camp from the battlefield was overwhelming, and the medical unit was always the busiest.
Under Tsunade's leadership, they worked tirelessly to heal and care for the wounded.
Even when she finally got a chance to rest, she had to head to the command tent for meetings.
"Although the war is turning in our favor, I don't recommend moving the camp into Wind Country territory. First, logistics would be an issue, and second, as long as we hold our position, victory is certain. The Sand Village can't hold out much longer," Tsunade said.
"The Sand Village's puppet troops have suffered heavy losses, but they're still a threat. Tsunade, we need your help to deal with them," Hatake Sakumo added.
Tsunade was the natural counter to the Sand Village's puppet forces.
In her hands, those puppets were nothing more than oversized toys, easily crushed with a single punch or kick.
And Tsunade's immunity to poison made her an absolute nightmare for the Sand Village's puppet ninjas.
While Sakumo could also easily deal with them, his mission was to hold off the Third Kazekage.
So the task of dealing with the puppet troops had fallen to Tsunade.
"I'll take care of it," Tsunade replied.
Though exhausted, Tsunade didn't mind handling a few more enemies. She was eager to end this war and return to the village for some well-deserved rest.
Even though she wasn't officially the commander, Tsunade was undoubtedly the busiest person in the camp.
It was wearing her down.
"Good," Sakumo nodded and continued, "Everything else remains the same. Our main focus is to prevent the Sand Village from launching another surprise attack on our camp. We should all reflect on the lesson learned from the Rain Village's ambush. We-"
He stopped suddenly, looking toward the entrance of the command tent.
"Tsunade-sama,"
An intelligence officer rushed into the tent, handing Tsunade a scroll.
"This is an intelligence report from the village, for you."
"For me?"
Tsunade blinked, confused. Reports from the village should have been directed to either Hatake Sakumo or Nara Shikaku, not her.
Was this sent specifically for me?
