Fox opened his mouth, wanting to keep trying to persuade her, but when he saw Tsunade's determined gaze, he knew her mind was made up and could only reply:
"Yes! We'll make the arrangements right away."
Lin Ze stood to the side without speaking. He actually wanted to persuade Tsunade to leave as well.
Excluding the wounded, the entire base currently had around a hundred Konoha ninja, but most were Chunin or Genin, and some were medical ninja with little fighting ability.
Given Iwagakure's style, once they confirmed their target, their attack would hit with the weight of solid rock.
The scout who had escaped would certainly report the situation here to Iwagakure's higher-ups, such as "Taiseki"-especially the fact that Tsunade was at this base.
But Tsunade's decision was less a matter of stubbornness than a lack of alternatives.
Relocating was indeed very risky, especially for these wounded soldiers. Holding their ground and waiting for reinforcements seemed the safest choice for now, provided... Iwagakure's next attack was not too powerful, and reinforcements arrived in time.
But for the ninja in the camp, if those two conditions fell through, a desperate battle with their lives on the line would probably be unavoidable.
Yet as one of the "Sannin" who had lived through the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade never considered only the immediate gains and losses.
Even if this decision cost the camp's ninja some losses, the attacking Iwagakure forces might not fare any better.
After all, this was within the Land of Fire, not territory where Iwagakure could advance and retreat at will. Moreover, anyone daring to strike deep into its heartland to raid a medical camp had to be among Iwagakure's elite forces.
If they could intercept and kill this elite force here, it would have a considerable impact
