Just as Bai Ye was about to leave carrying Tsunade.
A squad of Anbu suddenly appeared, blocking Bai Ye's path.
"Halt, where are you taking Lady Tsunade!..."
"Put down Lady Tsunade immediately..."
"..."
The Anbu, weapons in hand, questioned him loudly.
Having sensed the battle, the Anbu had arrived long ago.
However, they hadn't shown themselves when they saw that the one fighting was Tsunade.
Tsunade was the Third Hokage's disciple, how could they dare interfere with the Third Hokage's disciple.
In fact, upon seeing that the one fighting Tsunade was Uchiha Byakuya, the Anbu members here applauded.
After all, the Anbu had suffered quite a bit at Uchiha Byakuya's hands recently.
Why would they stop Tsunade?
Not only would they not stop her, they even wished Tsunade could beat Byakuya up and vent their anger.
But, to their surprise, Tsunade didn't beat Byakuya up at all; instead, she was captured by Byakuya.
The Anbu had no choice but to intervene.
"Hmph, Tsunade has destroyed Konohagakure and has now been arrested by the Security Force..."
"What are you Anbu doing! How dare you obstruct the Security Force..."
"Are you also trying to betray Konohagakure!?..."
Byakuya looked at the Anbu, speaking with an unfriendly tone.
"This... Lady Tsunade is the Hokage's disciple..."
"How Lady Tsunade is dealt with should be left to the Hokage..."
"Also, Lady Tsunade is the head of the Senju Clan, you cannot take Lady Tsunade away..."
"..."
An Anbu member said without backing down.
"Hmph, I don't care about the Hokage's disciple..."
"Anyone who dares to defy the Will of Fire will be punished..."
"Anyone who obstructs me is an enemy of the Will of Fire..."
"Where are the Security Force members..."
As Bai Ye's voice fell, a squad of Security Force members, led by Uchiha En, appeared behind him.
As the Security Force responsible for Konoha's safety, they too had rushed over after sensing the battle.
However, without Bai Ye's command, they had not shown themselves.
Now, hearing Bai Ye's order, they all emerged at once.
"Lord Byakuya, the Security Force reports for duty..."
Uchiha En respectfully saluted Bai Ye.
"Very good!... Security Force, heed my command!..."
"Anyone who dares to destroy the Will of Fire will be killed without mercy..."
"Yes..."
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, all the Security Force members drew their Ninja Swords in unison, aiming them at the Anbu before them.
"This... Captain, what should we do..."
"The Security Force won't actually attack, will they!..."
"Lady Tsunade is about to be taken away..."
"..."
The Anbu members looked towards their captain, unsure of what to do in the face of the Security Force wielding their Ninja Swords.
"Don't make any rash moves..."
The Anbu captain felt immense pressure facing the Security Force.
The Anbu captain had no doubt that if he made any move, these Security Force members would attack without hesitation.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the Anbu, Bai Ye directly left carrying Tsunade.
"Damn it, Tsunade's people were captured by the Security Force..."
"What should we do!..."
"The Security Force is really too arrogant right now..."
"..."
The Anbu members said resentfully.
In the past, their Anbu had the final say in all of Konoha.
The Security Force didn't dare to disobey their Anbu's orders at all.
But now, with the rise of Bai Ye and the Security Force, the Security Force increasingly disregarded their Anbu.
The Anbu also felt increasingly useless.
In fact, sometimes the Security Force's words carried more weight than their Anbu's.
This gave all the Anbu a sense of decline.
"Continue to be on alert, I'll go report what happened here to Lord Hokage..."
The Anbu captain said after thinking for a moment.
Whether it was Bai Ye or the Security Force, they were not people their Anbu could afford to offend.
Besides reporting to Lord Hokage, the Anbu had no other options.
"What!? What did you say!? Bai Ye captured Tsunade!..."
"Has Uchiha Byakuya's strength reached this level already!?..."
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very surprised to hear this news.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was very clear about the strength of his disciple, Senju Tsunade.
Tsunade not only had superb medical Ninjutsu, but her Taijutsu was also very powerful.
Especially her monstrous strength punch, which could easily split mountains and break rocks.
It could be said that Senju Tsunade's strength was definitely Kage-level.
Even if he himself were to act, he might not be able to defeat Tsunade.
And now, the Anbu reported that Bai Ye had defeated Tsunade, so how could Hiruzen Sarutobi not be surprised?
"Yes... Lord Hokage..."
"Lord Tsunade was easily defeated by Uchiha Byakuya..."
"Uchiha Byakuya has mastered Space Ninjutsu..."
The Anbu quickly recounted the details of their fight.
"Space Ninjutsu!? This damned Uchiha..."
Hearing the Anbu's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed continuously.
Originally, Uchiha Byakuya's aggressive attitude had already made things very difficult for him.
He hadn't expected that Byakuya's strength would be so formidable.
This gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a terrible headache.
After all these years, he had used various schemes and tactics to completely suppress the Uchiha Clan.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi never imagined that such a detestable fellow like Bai Ye would appear among the Uchiha Clan.
Not only did his plans fail, but he had also suffered several losses at Bai Ye's hands.
Now, Bai Ye had captured Tsunade again, this was simply too presumptuous.
"Hmm... inform the Senju Clan of this news..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said.
After all, Tsunade was the clan head of the Senju Clan. Now that Tsunade had been captured by someone from the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan would certainly not stand idly by.
Although, after the Second Shinobi World War, a large number of Senju Clan ninja had died on the battlefield.
This led to the decline of the Senju Clan, and their strength was far from what it used to be.
However, even a starved camel is larger than a horse; the Senju Clan's foundation was still there.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi planned to use the Senju Clan to counter the Uchiha Clan.
As for himself! Of course, he would sit back and reap the benefits.
Only when the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan had both suffered heavy losses from their conflict would it be his time to act.
