"Hahaha, because they were afraid I'd set them up, but they also wanted to set me up. That's because the route I chose heads toward Sunagakure and the Land of Rivers battlefield."
"..."
Those damn old geezers. They must have done it on purpose.
Wait!
So what if they did it on purpose?
As Tsunade cursed inwardly, she suddenly came to her senses. Was Jingyi afraid of that?
Afraid my ass.
With this kind of split-force arrangement, anyone else would definitely get screwed over badly, but Jingyi was not included among them.
Because he really could come and go as he pleased. No one from Sunagakure could stop him, and human-wave tactics posed no threat to him whatsoever.
If you couldn't even touch him, what kind of human-wave tactic could you use?
Utatane Koharu and the others were the ones who needed to be careful. Once Sunagakure caught up with them and launched a pursuit and encirclement, it would be a question whether any of them could make it back to the Land of Fire alive.
After realizing her worries were unnecessary, Tsunade's suspended heart finally settled. She lay back down on the bed and said weakly,
"Since that's the case, I wish you an early completion of your mission. That's enough, I'm sleepy. I've been busy all night and I'm exhausted."
"Once you get here, let's switch shifts. You can hold on for me for a while."
"????"
No, wait.
You were the one who stubbornly insisted on running to the front lines. Now that you were exhausted, you wanted to switch shifts?
Women!
You're really unreasonable, you know that?
Jingyi really wanted to reason things out with Tsunade, only to discover that she had fallen asleep within a few seconds.
She really was exhausted.
Come to think of
