"So, you're saying Kirigakure planned to implant the Three-Tails in Rin and use it to sow chaos in Konoha?"
Tsunade fell silent.
She really couldn't understand Kirigakure's logic.
Was this some kind of joke?
They thought a mere Three-Tails could throw Konoha into chaos?
Were they overestimating the Three-Tails or underestimating Konoha?!
Looking at Rin, unconscious on the operating table, Tsunade suddenly didn't know what to say.
Rin had barely suffered any injuries. Aside from feeling weak because of the Three-Tails' chakra, she was perfectly fine.
And once she got through this period of weakness, she would fully adapt to having the Three-Tails inside her. It was easy to imagine that, in the future, Rin would be as healthy as a young calf.

If Kirigakure's army weren't still stationed near Mount Kikyo, Tsunade might have thought the Third Mizukage had come to bring Konoha a gift.
"Hmph. It's ours now. Why would we hand it back? Once
