Chapter 150: Completely at a Loss

The group crowded into Tsunade's house. There were barely enough seats for everyone.

The gossips showed no sign of leaving.

Shinryu Yūhi pulled out sunflower seeds from somewhere and handed a handful to each person.

It's like he's written 'Gimme the gossip!' all over his face.

This kind of mischievous behavior didn't match his serious expression at all.

Tsunade cast a helpless look around at these people and shook her head.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Misaki Uzumaki sat cross - legged beside Nawaki, feeling like she was on trial.

"Um, well,"

Nawaki had already let go of Misaki's hand and was trying to organize his thoughts.

"The Grass ninjas coveted her ability to heal with her physical energy and wanted to take her away by force."

"I could tell right away that she was from the Uzumaki Clan, so I stepped forward and saved her."

"One more person saved is one more, and Grandma will definitely be happy."

Nawaki brought up Mito at the end to give himself some confidence.

"Is that all?"

Kawaki had barely eaten a few sunflower seeds when Nawaki finished his story.

"Yeah, that's all."

Nawaki didn't understand what his brother - in - law meant. The matter wasn't that complicated.

"Come on, let's break it up."

The group of irresponsible adults left in an instant. It was so boring.

They had built up so much expectation, but this cheesy hero - saves - the - damsel story was just too trite.

Nawaki frowned in annoyance. Only four people were left in the house, and even Minato had left.

"Misaki Uzumaki, right?"

Kawaki noticed Misaki's nervousness and unease and gave her a warm smile.

"Yes, Lord Kawaki."

Misaki used the honorific politely, glanced at Kawaki, and then lowered her head.

"Would you like to go to our Konoha Village?"

"Is it to meet Lady Mito?"

When Kawaki got to the point, Misaki finally mustered the courage to look him in the eye.

"Yes, I'll take you to my home. I think my grandma will like you."

Tsunade chimed in. This girl had a quiet personality and was probably the type Grandma liked.

Then she looked at Nawaki. This stupid boy was really lucky. He even picked up a beauty on a mission.

"Grandma will definitely like you. She's a really nice person."

"She's no worse than Grandma Anzu."

Nawaki followed Tsunade's words and praised Mito to Misaki.

It was true what he said. Mito was only tough with Hashirama, but that was because Hashirama was being a pain in the neck.

"I'd like to."

Misaki readily agreed. She was already content to have a place to settle down.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."

Tsunade made the final call. It made no sense to leave an ordinary person like Misaki in the camp.

"Thank you, Lord Tsunade."

Misaki maintained her due courtesy.

"Don't be so formal. You can call me sister."

"Sister."

Misaki timidly called out.

"Good girl. Go outside and let Nawaki find you a place to rest for the night."

Tsunade reached out to help Misaki up and let her chakra flow through Misaki's body.

Misaki only felt a warm current pass through her body, and she instantly felt more energetic.

"Don't worry, sister."

"Let's go."

Nawaki stood up and led Misaki out of the room.

"How about her?"

Kawaki clearly caught Tsunade sizing up Misaki.

"She hasn't undergone any training, but she has good physical fitness. Let's see if we can train her into a Medical Ninja later."

Tsunade, well - acquainted with the Uzumaki Clan, knew Nagato was a prime example while Kushina was the sole exception.

She only liked to fight, not to save people. If Misaki could be trained, Tsunade would have an extra assistant for her future research.

"I'm optimistic about her."

Kawaki's confident tone made Tsunade roll her eyes at him. Did he really think Medical Ninjas were as common as cabbages?

...

The next day, Tsunade gave Misaki a letter.

"Give this letter to my grandma when you get home."

Considering that this incident was sudden, Tsunade wrote a clear explanation in the letter as a precaution.

"Okay, sister."

Misaki obediently took the letter and put it away close to her body.

"Goodbye, Nawaki."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Nawaki, she left with the Konoha Ninjas.

"She's out of sight. What are you still looking at?"

Tsunade gave Nawaki a hard thump on the head. What a good - for - nothing.

"Ouch~"

"Why did you hit me?"

Nawaki covered his head and cried out in pain.

"Look at your worthless look."

Kawaki, enjoying the show, chimed in with a mockery.

"How are you any better than me?"

Nawaki was full of indignation. Didn't his brother - in - law sometimes look at his sister the same way? What right did he have to talk about him?

"Stinky boy, asking for a beating."

Kawaki was enraged, and Nawaki got another hard thump.

"Let's go."

After hitting Nawaki, Kawaki pulled Tsunade away, leaving Nawaki still standing there.

"Haha, you just never learn your lesson."

"I've told you many times that misfortune comes from the mouth, but you just don't listen."

At this time, Minato popped up from somewhere.

"Get out of here and stop bothering me."

Nawaki was full of anger. Who did he provoke?

He touched his head and walked away from Minato. This so - called friendship was just so fake.

"Hey, Brother Nawaki~"

Minato followed up cheekily. The friendship between teenagers was just so interesting.

After this period of rest and recuperation, the Konoha camp had regained its vitality.

The slightly injured have recovered, and the severely injured have been sent back to Konoha.

Now the combat power of the camp had reached its peak again.

"We don't know when ōnoki will strike back."

"We must come up with a plan today."

"Otherwise, we'll end up in the same difficult situation again."

Tsunade looked serious in the Meeting Hall. Now the two young ones were also openly participating in the meeting.

Instead of standing guard like before, this was the confidence brought by their achievements.

Everyone below was frowning. This meeting had been held many times.

But today, Tsunade's attitude was particularly tough. It seemed that she was determined to come up with a feasible plan before giving up.

"Hayato, you go first and share your thoughts."

Kawaki had also been thinking hard about this matter recently. They couldn't waste this hard - won opportunity to recover.

"ōnoki is taking rest and recuperation at the border of the Land of Earth, waiting for supplies."

"Sunagakure has stationed a large number of troops and set up many booby traps at the border of the Land of Wind."

"They must be ready to fight a bloody battle with us."

Hayato's intelligence is still reliable. A few words made it crystal - clear what the current situation is.

"Should we ask The Third Lord for reinforcements again?"

A Konoha Ninjas who was out of ideas tentatively spoke up.

"We can't send any more reinforcements. We still need to ensure the safety of the village."

Tsunade shook her head. If there were reinforcements to spare, she would've told her teacher about it earlier.

"Damn Iwagakure. If it weren't for them causing trouble."

"We would have captured the Land of Wind long ago."

This was an old veteran who had survived the battle against the Third Kazekage.

His once - handsome face now bore a terrifying scar.

"The battlefield changes in an instant. It's just that we weren't well - prepared enough ourselves."

Kawaki wasn't one to shift the blame. After all, what logic is there in war?
