With a forceful push against Uka's belly, Senju Maki sat up nimbly, unlike a woman who is seven or eight months pregnant.
She turned her head to the side, staring intently at her husband lying on the ground with her sapphire-blue eyes, her voice filled with rage as she said, "Since we got pregnant, have you been home for even ten days?"
"Our bodies are already like this, how can you go out again after less than a day of being back?"
"What kind of mission requires them to put you, the Head of the Branch, in such a position? Aren't they going a bit too far!"
Who gave out this kind of task?
Since she met Uka, she has almost never been angry in front of Uka.
This time, she was genuinely angry about the Clan's arrangements!
The clansmen below, even the Ninja on the Front Line.
When someone in the family gives birth, they will come back to be with them for at least one or two months!
Why are these Clan members so unreasonable when it comes to Uka and me?
Uka was transferred to another post shortly after she became pregnant.
They knew and understood that missions and Clan came first!
Those were the days when I had no appetite at all, and felt nauseous from vomiting everything I ate...
They didn't complain about anything, nor did they say much to Uka.
She had to worry about her husband's safety while he was away, and she also had to endure physical discomfort.
Only when it was late at night, and everyone was asleep, lying in bed, did the three of them have the space and opportunity to comfort and support each other!
And so these days went by for seven or eight months. The few days when Uka came back each time were almost always the happiest time for them.
Why is it that after waiting for two or three months, Uka is being sent out again less than a day after returning?
Even the Senju on the Front Line haven't gone this far!!!
He intended to tell the truth, but after only uttering the first sentence, Uka Senju's next words were completely cut off by Maki's Maki to the stomach.
Just as he caught his breath and was about to continue, he heard Tsunade and Maki's barrage of questions!
Looking at the woman opposite him with reddish-brown hair and sapphire-blue eyes, Uka Senju pulled her hand away, sat up, and embraced her.
Maki's words, Tsunade's words, and Chiharu's unspoken words.
At that moment, he understood everything!
Their questions weren't just directed at the Clan; they were directed at him more!
And indeed, his behavior during the three women's pregnancies was... somewhat excessive.
Ironically... he was worried that the three of them might have problems, so he specifically devised a plan to have them do some exercise...
Upon realizing these things, Uka Senju also recalled those details she had subconsciously overlooked during her previous visits.
He wasn't completely oblivious to the fact that the three needed companionship; it's just that... he chose not to see it for the sake of energy!
It's not that they don't want to go out for a walk.
When they have someone with them, when have they ever wanted to sit down?
When have I ever rejected my own ideas?
Gently rubbing the little head in her arms, Uka Senju silently reflected on her thoughts.
The atmosphere in the room became tense, and neither Senju Chiharu Tsunade said anything to interrupt.
They all watched silently as the man they loved came to mind. No matter how much you say, it's not as important as understanding things for yourself!
Without saying anything like "I'm sorry" or "I shouldn't have done this or that," Uka Senju simply held Maki in her arms in silence.
What's the point of saying sorry now when you've already done all that?
The matter of energy, which has been rushed for so long, is finally about to be resolved.
And after this, perhaps tomorrow, we'll reach a completely new level... and then time will come.
"We need to have dinner earlier tonight."
After waiting for a long time, they heard these words. Whether it was Maki in their arms or Chiharu and Tsunade beside them, a trace of sadness, grievance and helplessness flashed in their eyes.
This time, without pausing, even noticing the change in the three's emotions, Uka Senju continued, "Get some rest after dinner tonight, and pack your things to leave by four in the morning."
"Your family has arranged guards for you on the way; just wait patiently at the base."
Upon hearing this, the three women realized something.
Although they haven't left the house much since becoming pregnant, their identities mean they have access to a considerable amount of information.
At this moment, there were no complicated emotions left in their eyes; only worry remained!
"The war might last a few days, but after that, I won't need to go out so frequently anymore!"
I didn't originally intend to be like an old general, planting a flag behind me.
However, thinking about the past few months with the three of them, Uka Senju still planted a few flags behind her back!
But he felt that as long as the injection could be administered as desired, these shouldn't be major problems!
"Why all of a sudden..."
Lifting her head from Uka's embrace, Senju Maki stared blankly at the white-haired Young Man so close to her with her blue eyes, which were filled with worry and regret for losing her temper today.
She had previously thought that Uka was willing to leave so quickly because of that so-called energy.
Unexpectedly, it turned into a war between the two sides?
But they were aware of the intelligence they had gathered recently, so how could the situation have changed so quickly all of a sudden?
Judging from Uka's tone, is this the start of a full-scale war?
Lowering her head to kiss the slightly rounder little face in her arms, Uka Senju smiled and then solemnly explained to the three the reason for this change.
"This morning, our clan received a plea for help from the Land of Land of Whirlpools. The Land of Clouds, the Land of Water, and the Land of Earth, a three-nation alliance, are deploying troops and clearing the eyes of the Land of Whirlpools borders, ready to launch a full-scale attack at any moment."
"After receiving intelligence, the clan verified that this war wasn't just involving the three kingdoms; the Land of Fire, or rather, Sarutobi's side, was also involved. However, they didn't send anyone to the Land of Whirlpools; they simply deployed enough troops to contain us in various locations!"
"But you can also understand the key point here. The Senju is facing a critical choice, and since they couldn't reach a good agreement, I suggested that the Clan take the initiative and start a full-scale war."
"After much discussion and deliberation, the Clan agreed to the plan and, based on our intelligence network, provided a timeframe for the operation!"
Upon hearing about the current situation of the Land of Whirlpools, Tsunade immediately thought of her grandmother.
She was very clear about the situation in the Land of Whirlpools.
But after hearing the follow-up, she frowned slightly and asked, "Grandma agreed to this plan?"
"We sent the three Nobusada brothers to begin relocating the children this morning, and the First Elder also dispatched several main forces after receiving the intelligence this morning."
"According to the plan, our only requirement for Uzumaki was to fight and retreat simultaneously. Aunt also arranged for a large number of Ninja to provide support during the meeting!"
Having grasped the core of Tsunade's problem, Uka Senju directly presented some of the plans from the morning meeting to dispel some of her concerns!
Having learned this information, Tsunade nodded and said no more.
Ensuring the safety of the next generation and supporting this generation's war is clearly the reason why Grandma agreed to start a full-scale war, and it's also Senju's way of giving Grandma an explanation for all the sacrifices she's made over the years!
Ever since Uka mentioned that the three of them would be leaving in the early hours of the morning, Senju Chiharu had been listening to their conversation with a furrowed brow, deep in thought!
When she had gathered enough information, she looked at her husband's retreating figure and said in a deep voice, "Can we manage to mobilize all the personnel in such a short time to start a full-scale war?"
"Information can't be blocked so easily!"
Holding Maki, Uka Senju gently lay back down, then reached out her right hand to pull Chiharu into her embrace. She gave her a reassuring smile before speaking, "Don't worry, the Clan have plans. The blockade will begin at four, and the battle will commence at six."
"Given this timing, it's difficult for Sarutobi's side to mount a significant response."
"We've deployed resources at all relevant locations on the perimeter. You can safely evacuate and await further instructions at the base!"
The plan is just a plan, and everyone involved in its formulation knows that.
The success rate and outcome depend on the specific actions taken by the participants.
The blockade will begin at 4 PM. Once the blockade is in place, even if Sarutobi's side receives the message...
Faced with the fully prepared Senju, even the various clans within the village would find it difficult to escape!
Having lost their foundation within the Hokage Village, even if Sarutobi escaped... there would be no place for the Sarutobi clan to survive within the Land of Fire.
As for what happened next... after the Third Injection injection, there's not much left for the enemy to do at this point in time!
Of course, to ensure everything goes smoothly, he had to do it properly this time and couldn't have any other distracting thoughts.
After explaining Chiharu's doubts, Uka Senju turned back, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, and she made a decision in her heart!
He took Tsunade and pulled her close with his left hand, resuming his previous demeanor and focusing on comforting his three worried wives in his arms.
Time flows slowly, and everything proceeds in an orderly manner.
As a high-ranking combatant and a young person, Uka Senju has time to spend at home with her family, but the other Ninja who don't have both are constantly preparing for the battle early the next morning.
Once all the secret bases had assembled their teams and distributed the necessary supplies, they began to rest and wait for the appointed time.
The Land of Whirlpools has also received the first wave of aid from the Senju!
Although they didn't understand why the enemy hadn't launched an attack even though they were all there, the enemy's hesitation was actually good news for them.
Looking at the four allies opposite him who already knew the relevant information, Yūya Uzumaki bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"So, according to the plan, do we need to put up a fight before we can start to evacuate little by little?" Yūya Uzumaki, raising his head to voice his doubts.
Nodding, a middle-aged Ninja from the Senju, who had been teleported over specifically to handle negotiations, said, "Yes, regardless of whether the enemy launches their attack at the designated time, as long as the planned time arrives, we can begin our breakout as planned."
"From the moment we set foot on the shores of the Land of Fire all the way to the Ihyo Castle, we have deployed personnel along this route to help resist the transport of the Uzumaki Clan."
Before the negotiation meeting with the Uzumaki began, he had already had a brief information exchange with the four captains who came to provide support.
The Land of Whirlpools is now surrounded by enemies, but according to the plan, they must wait until the designated time before they can begin their breakout!
These supporters, along with the Uzumaki Clan, will all play the role of bait in the overall plan.
Despite having already read the information passed on by Lady Mito, Yūya Uzumaki's fists still clenched involuntarily after everything was confirmed.
But... all of this is self-inflicted. Senju had issued countless warnings in previous years, but the Uzumaki Clan ignored them. So now they need to cooperate with Senju's plan in order to preserve as much as possible!
He knew all of this, but the feeling of being dependent on others and used as bait... was really unpleasant!
"Whew!"
Letting out a long sigh, Yūya Uzumaki and said, "Leave the resistance to Uzumaki; the task of clearing the way will have to be left to you."
"However, I would like to ask everyone, in your spare time, to take care of those members of the Uzumaki Clan who are unable to fight!"
There was no way around it; we lacked strength and had already made mistakes.
Therefore, compromise is the best course of action at this time.
All things considered, Senju, as an ally, has actually been quite conscientious.
Otherwise, all it would take is some false intelligence that reinforcements are on their way, and the Uzumaki Clan would fight to the death waiting for those impossible reinforcements to arrive.
Although the Senju now need them as bait to hold back the Three Kingdoms.
However, the Senju also dispatched a large number of support personnel and made many preparations to ensure the survival of the Uzumaki Clan as much as possible!
Such allies are more than enough in the Shinobi World!
Senju middle-aged people in the family know how well they've done.
But this was, after all, Lady Mito home, and Senju, who was in charge of the negotiations, could understand to some extent what the Senju in front of him was thinking at this moment.
After the Uzumaki clan chief finished speaking, he looked at the chief with a very solemn expression and said in a deep voice, " Uzumaki clan chief, please trust the Senju."
"We will do our utmost to protect the Uzumaki Clan's retreat route."
" The Senju have never forgotten what allies should do, nor have they forgotten the help that Lady Mito gave Senju!"
"You don't need to worry about anything else. The Senju have already planned everything, including the relevant teams and the supplies for after landing."
Seeing that the head of the group's spirits had noticeably changed after hearing his words, Senju middle-aged man in charge of negotiations paused and then spoke again, "The battle is our most important matter going forward."
"If this escalates into a full-scale war, Senju is confident he can win."
"And the Senju, after this period of war, has finally gained the means and confidence to achieve complete peace!"
Nodding in response to the words below, Yūya Uzumaki understood the other party's intention in saying so much.
He adjusted his mindset, and after a moment, he loudly ordered the guards at the door, "Go and contact them. Have Takenori Uzumaki, Mitsumasa Uzumaki, Ryōichi Uzumaki, and Yoshitoki Uzumaki come over here."
"Yes, clan chief!" The guard standing at the shrine entrance bowed and replied.
After giving instructions outside, the people inside the shrine began to discuss the current situation in the Land of Whirlpools with Uzumaki shrine's patriarch.
This shrine, located in the heart of the current battlefield, has become Command Center and Logistics support point, supporting both the front and rear.
Therefore, relevant information and maps have become essential items at this shrine!
