IW: Chapter 125 - Bai Ye: Have you seen my full power?
"You're insane, you just went straight to war with them?"
After the envoys from the other three Villages left, Genshi immediately sought out Konoha.
He had expected Konoha to negotiate first, but he never thought Bai Ye would choose to go to war directly.
He must be crazy, right?
"It's two against three, the advantage is with us!"
Judging from Kirigakure's previous attitude, his plan seemed to be very successful. Kirigakure now relied on Konoha. They needed Konoha to restore their economy, and they had gained many benefits from their transactions with Konoha. If they lost Konoha now, Kirigakure's recovery would be very slow.
At this time, Kirigakure needed to rely on them, so they would naturally choose to stand with Konoha.
"Two against three, the advantage is with us?"
Are you f*cking mistaken?!
Genshi inwardly complained. Kirigakure currently didn't have much fighting power. They had just gone through the Bloody Mist policy and hadn't recovered yet. How could they start a war with Konoha?
Even if they wanted to, they would first need money and Ninja.
Now they had nothing, so how could they fight alongside Konoha?
It's one against three, isn't it?
"Our Kirigakure simply cannot participate in the war."
"Then, we will no longer supply various goods in the future. After all, our Konoha also needs to prepare for war. Besides, if we lose, we won't be able to provide for you. Furthermore... This war was initiated by those three. If your Kirigakure doesn't participate, you might be liquidated later, right? So, consider it yourselves!"
Bai Ye also wanted to see which side Kirigakure would choose to stand on at this time.
If they stood on the other side, then he would deal with Kirigakure as well.
Subsequently, the two continued to discuss for a while. No one knew what they talked about, but Genshi's expression was very bad when he left.
He then immediately left Konoha, preparing to return to Kirigakure to inform Mei Terumī of this news.
"Hokage-sama, if we go to war, how should we allocate the battlefields?"
Although Shikaku had long suspected that Bai Ye might also be preparing for war, the current battlefield situation was not very optimistic.
Bai Ye could hold down one battlefield. Kirigakure's stance was currently unknown. If Kirigakure was willing to participate and tie down Sunagakure, then it wouldn't be very difficult for Konoha to deal with Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
Iwagakure would be handled by Uchiha, Kumogakure by Hyuga, plus various Konoha families. In the Village, Bai Ye could recall Jiraiya later.
Bai Ye would deal with one, Jiraiya would deal with one. However, they needed to be careful of the enemy's Jinchuriki. Konoha's Jinchuriki was currently still young and could not achieve a deterrent effect at all.
"Can we gather them all in one place so I can deal with them all at once?"
"..."
Crazy!
Shikaku's mouth twitched, shocked by Bai Ye's theory. He was still thinking about how to reduce Bai Ye's pressure, but Bai Ye was already thinking about dealing with them all at once.
"You're fighting so many Villages alone? Do you think you're Uchiha Madara?"
Tsunade pouted. She was speechless with this kid, Bai Ye. Did this guy really think he was Uchiha Madara reincarnated?
To actually go to war with so many Villages.
He had previously said that Konoha would not be destroyed in his hands, but with his fighting style, it really might be buried in his hands.
Listening to Tsunade's words, Bai Ye understood. Ninja of this era were unfamiliar with the idea of one Ninja fighting several Villages, as few people in history had ever achieved it.
"Have you seen my full power?"
"So arrogant!"
Tsunade inwardly complained, feeling an urge to punch Bai Ye. How could this guy be so arrogant? What did he mean, 'Have you seen my full power?'
However, she had indeed never seen Bai Ye's full power. But judging from how Bai Ye could deal with so many people alone, he seemed to be stronger than she imagined?
"It's a bit difficult for us to go to war with three Villages right now. If Hidden Mist participates, it will indeed be more beneficial for us."
Hyuga Hiashi also gave what he considered the most suitable analysis: Hidden Mist had to enter the fray to alleviate their pressure.
"Our elite Jonin and above are not afraid of the enemy, but our Chunin and Genin are fewer compared to the combined forces of the three Villages."
Konoha was indeed a cradle of geniuses. The number of strong Ninja was actually not much different from the combined total of the other Villages, but the gap in Chunin and Genin numbers with the three Villages was indeed unbridgeable.
"So I need you, Shikaku, to figure out a way to gather these guys together. If they all gather on one battlefield, I can take care of most of them!"
Bai Ye's Complete Susanoo was an invincible existence when it came to eliminating small fry.
Dealing with the Allied Shinobi Forces was still very simple for Bai Ye now. At least for now, there was no one who made Bai Ye feel pressured, unless the Akatsuki Organization joined the battlefield.
But that was highly unlikely. The Akatsuki Organization would prefer the Ninja World to be chaotic, so how could they participate in the war?
"Are you serious?"
Shikaku rubbed his forehead in distress. Looking at Bai Ye, it seemed he wasn't just talking.
Did he really think that?
"That's right, gather them together so I can crush them all at once."
"I understand." Shikaku nodded, then directly took out a map and laid it in front of everyone, pointing to Takigakure above Konoha and saying, "If we want to gather them, then this is the most suitable place. First, Kumogakure can pass through the Land of Rice to get here, Iwagakure can come directly, and Sunagakure can come here to fight by passing through the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass. We just need to issue a challenge inviting the Three Kage to a decisive battle here, and they will definitely come!"
Shikaku knew very well that the other side would not give up this opportunity. The combined strength of the three parties was always better than dealing with Konoha one by one.
However, this was actually a bit unrealistic, mainly because Kumogakure and Sunagakure had to borrow paths to get there.
The supply lines would be stretched very long. If they were spread out, although they couldn't immediately encircle and kill the Hokage, they could stretch Konoha's battle lines.
Both methods were options for them.
"Then you send them a letter saying 'True Men 1V3 Great Battle'!"
"..."
Shikaku rolled his eyes, but also nodded in agreement. Although it sounded a bit strange, coming from Bai Ye's mouth, it seemed quite normal.
"Then, should Jiraiya-sama be recalled?"
The next issue was the second one. Although it was a question, Shikaku actually believed that he must be recalled.
"Recall him. As a Konoha Ninja, if he wanders around outside at this time, he will probably be caught by Ninja from other Villages!"
One fighting force, just recall him.
Upon hearing Bai Ye say this, Shikaku nodded, then turned his gaze to Tsunade.
Looking at it this way, Bai Ye would hold down one battlefield, Jiraiya another, and Tsunade another. Perfect!
Jiraiya had dealt with Iwagakure before, so he could go to the Iwagakure battlefield. Tsunade's abilities happened to counter Sunagakure's poison, and Bai Ye would go to Kumogakure. This distribution was very reasonable.
"Don't look at me, old hag, I..."
Tsunade's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them. She knew her situation very well; she had hemophobia and couldn't do anything at all.
Whether it was fighting or Medical Ninja.
But as a Konoha Ninja, her great-grandfather was Senju Hashirama, and her great-uncle was Senju Tobirama. Both of her grandfathers were Kage of Konoha, and as their granddaughter, if she were to say at this moment that she wouldn't participate in the war, how much damage would that bring to the Senju Clan's prestige?
And that was why Tsunade hadn't spoken just now.
Back then, her decision to leave Konoha was not without this situation.
On one hand, the darkness of Konoha made Tsunade see no hope. On the other hand, she was already a cripple at that time. If it was exposed that she had hemophobia and couldn't go to the battlefield, she couldn't even imagine how big of a blow that would be.
"Tsunade's problem can be discussed later. I've arranged someone more suitable for the Sunagakure side!"
"Someone more suitable?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Shikaku's eyes. Shouldn't Tsunade be the more suitable person?
Could it be Uchiha Shisui?
But Uchiha Shisui seemed utterly incapable of resisting poison.
Who could it be?
Compared to Shikaku's speculation, Tsunade was clearly relieved. This guy was still somewhat reliable; if he said she wouldn't go to the battlefield, then she really wouldn't. Otherwise, her hemophobia would truly have to be exposed.
"I can go."
Although Hyuga Hiashi didn't know Tsunade's situation and also wanted to go to the Kumogakure battlefield, since no one was going to Sunagakure, he would go himself.
"No, no, no, none of you are suitable. Pakura, I'll leave this battlefield to you!"
"Pakura!!!?"
Upon hearing that name, everyone's minds instinctively conjured the image of Sunagakure's hero, Pakura.
But then they thought about it again and found it somewhat laughable. How could Sunagakure's hero appear in Konoha and help Konoha fight against Sunagakure?
However, as soon as this thought appeared, they felt like they had been slapped in the face. After seeing the person walk out of the Hokage's, they were stunned.
What's going on?
How could Sunagakure's hero, Pakura, be here?
Pakura helping Konoha fight Sunagakure is ridiculous, isn't it? It's as ridiculous as Minato Namikaze helping Sunagakure fight Konoha!
"Hokage-sama, what exactly did you do when you went out last time?"
First Kirigakure, then Pakura. What did you even do when you went out?!
Shikaku roared inwardly. Was this guy the Ninja World's succubus?
He went to Kirigakure, immediately made them open their markets, then let Konoha's goods control their economy, and even abducted Sunagakure's hero.
"As expected of Hokage-sama!"
Might Guy's mouth dropped open in disbelief as he looked at Bai Ye, simultaneously giving a thumbs-up.
In his opinion, there was only one reason Bai Ye could bring Pakura over.
He used a honey trap!
"Idiot, how could Hokage-sama use such a trick!"
Kakashi said with his deadpan eyes, but deep down, he felt there was a tiny possibility. There was indeed such a move in Icha Icha Paradise!
However, when Bai Ye introduced Pakura's situation to everyone, the people present couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that the hero Pakura was actually betrayed by Rasa, and it was Bai Ye who saved Pakura, and Pakura decided to take revenge on Sunagakure.
"Pakura, is Sunagakure okay for you to handle?"
"Yes, I'll handle Rasa."
Pakura nodded, a hint of indifference flashing across her face. She wasn't familiar with Konoha; they were only in a cooperative relationship. Plus, she owed Bai Ye a life, so she was here to repay her debt.
She could deal with Rasa because Rasa was the one who betrayed her.
"Alright, then we'll proceed according to this plan. Everyone go prepare. I'll have Shikaku send you the specific plan later. Everyone go prepare. Tsunade, stay for a bit."
Bai Ye dismissed everyone. Pakura was still here. From the original work, Pakura actually had feelings for Sunagakure, so Bai Ye wouldn't say some things in front of Pakura. He wasn't a fool.
Leaving Tsunade, Bai Ye scrutinized her for a while, which made Tsunade grumble unhappily: "Hey, are you looking for a beating? Where are you looking?"
Tsunade waved her fist, her eyes full of threat. This guy's gaze made Tsunade very uncomfortable; she really wanted to punch him, though Tsunade could only think about it inwardly.
"You still need to go to the Sunagakure battlefield."
"Bastard!! Don't forget your promise to me!!"
With so many Ninja present before, Tsunade couldn't speak freely, but now that only Bai Ye was here, Tsunade could naturally be unreserved.
"No matter what, Pakura is a Sunagakure Ninja. Plus, your ability can counter Sunagakure, so it's best for you to go there. Do you want to cure your hemophobia?"
Bai Ye exposed her hemophobia in one sentence. A hint of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and then she didn't say much, but looked at Bai Ye and asked, "Since you know I have hemophobia, you still want me to go to the battlefield?"
A hint of self-mockery flashed across Tsunade's face. At this point, she was no different from a useless person, right?
A Medical Ninja who saves people, a Ninja who needs to go to the battlefield to kill enemies, actually suffering from hemophobia. This was simply ridiculous.
"Because in my opinion, you shouldn't be like this. At least, the Senju who contended with our Uchiha shouldn't be left with someone like you who can't even stand the sight of blood. The Hokage isn't a curse, and not every Hokage or aspiring Hokage will die an unnatural death."
"Haha, in the end, you just need someone to alleviate your pressure, don't you?"
A sneer flashed across Tsunade's face. This guy spoke lightly. It wasn't his loved ones who died, so of course he could say that.
But when he watched so many people die in front of him, and he, as a Medical Ninja, was powerless, what would he do then?
Those who haven't experienced pain won't understand pain.
"Speaking so righteously, Tsunade, don't forget that the people who died by your hand number at least a thousand, if not eight hundred. They all had family and friends, and your hands are already stained with sin!"
