"What do you mean by 'the maid over there'!"
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and repeated Tsunade's contemptuous tone. As the Mizukage of Kirigakure, when had she ever suffered such humiliation? Naoki Senju was one thing, but why did Tsunade dare to order her around so casually?
"Didn't you hear me, Miss Maid? Come and give me a massage to relax." Tsunade looked at Mei Terumi, who was trembling with anger, with amusement, and gave Naoki Senju a praising look, saying, "Well done."
Tsunade's repeated words completely ignited Mei Terumi's anger. Because she had lost to Naoki Senju twice, Mei Terumi was at a slight disadvantage from the start. However, when facing the wire, she could strike hard!
"So it's Lady Tsunade Sannin. At your age, you certainly need more massages to relax."
Mei Terumi is extremely aggressive, directly attacking the most sensitive topic for women—age.
Every woman's age is an inviolable secret, especially for powerful and high-status women, for whom age is a taboo subject.
Tsunade still appears as a vibrant young woman, no more than twenty-four years old, but her actual age is that of a powerful figure from the previous generation, Mei Terumi...
Therefore Mei Terumi's first attack completely enraged Tsunade. Naoki Senju could hardly imagine how terrifying an enraged Tsunade could be.
"Hehe..."
As expected, Tsunade's warm smile vanished, replaced by a terrifying gaze fixed on Mei Terumi. Although there was no clear intention to attack, Mei Terumi involuntarily took a small step back, somewhat regretting revealing her trump card at the beginning.
We should start by attacking Tsunade from insignificant angles, and then end with her age. That way, even if Tsunade retaliates, at least we can get a few more insults out of her.
Mei Terumi she was already facing Tsunade's retaliation for just one insult.
Mei Terumi Chakra, whose chakra was restricted by drugs, was no different from an ordinary person at this moment. At most, she had mastered some Taijutsu skills, but without the support of Chakra, Taijutsu posed no threat to ninjas at all.
"I didn't realize Mei Terumi was so quick-witted. But does your husband know you're wearing a maid outfit and serving others? Oh~ are you still single?" Tsunade Mei Terumi curvaceous figure and tightly closed legs.
Mei Terumi unleashed a normal attack dealing 99 damage, Tsunade Teuchi 999 damage!
After all, age is a fact that cannot be changed. Tsunade just doesn't like it to be mentioned, but she doesn't care too much about it. With the Yin Seal, she can do whatever she wants.
But marriage is more damaging to Mei Terumi! And it's a fact that Mei Terumi can't change in a short time. Although there are many single people in the ninja profession, there are very few single female ninjas.
Mei Terumi is not only single, but she also cares a lot about being single!
Mei Terumi gritted her Tsunade. Judging from her posture, if her Chakra hadn't been restricted by the drug, she probably would have already started fighting with Tsunade.
" Naoki, it seems your maid isn't very good at training. She won't even give me a massage to relax."
Having gained the upper hand, Tsunade pressed her advantage, rubbing salt into Mei Terumi's wounds once more, making it clear that she would continue to make things difficult for Mei Terumi if she didn't comply.
Mei Terumi stared at Naoki Senju with wide, misty eyes. The mist in her eyes might not be real, but Naoki Senju was the only help Mei Terumi could find right now.
If Naoki Senju also chooses to side with Tsunade, then she will truly be at Tsunade's mercy...
Looking at the Mei Terumi, Naoki Senju still had no choice but to stand on Tsunade's side. This was a matter of principle that could not be shaken.
" Sister Tsunade really deserves a massage and rest after working so hard all day. And, maid, don't forget why Sister Tsunade and Konoha are so busy rebuilding in the first place."
Naoki Senju's words left Mei Terumi speechless. It was indeed she and Kirigakure who had caused Konoha's current predicament. Thinking about it that way, a massage as an apology didn't seem so hard to accept...
However, it's still very embarrassing...
"However, Sister Tsunade has been working so hard for Konoha, so I should help Sister Tsunade relax a bit."
Naoki Senju grinned and approached Tsunade from behind, earnestly massaging her shoulders and back.
"Hmph." Tsunade gave a slightly dissatisfied snort, knowing that Naoki Senju was helping Mei Terumi out of a predicament, but she really shouldn't have pushed too hard, otherwise it would backfire.
Seeing that Naoki Senju was also massaging Tsunade, Mei Terumi's resentment lessened considerably. After hesitating for a while, she joined Naoki Senju in massaging Tsunade's shoulders and legs. The two of them comfortably closed Tsunade's eyes as they served her.
At the main gate of Konoha, Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, who had once again taken on the responsibility of guarding the gate, saw several stumbling figures not far away. Their vigilance instantly increased, fearing that they were the vanguard of another ninja village.
But as they got a little closer, the two gatekeepers realized that the ninja who was stumbling toward Konoha was actually wearing Konoha's uniform!
For the safety of Konoha, the duo activated a pre-set signal before approaching to inquire.
But before Kotetsu Hagane could verify his identity, the Konoha Ninja who had arrived said urgently:
"Report to the Lord Hokage immediately! The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki have appeared on the battlefield simultaneously! Kumogakure's defenses have fallen!"
From the military intelligence relayed back to Konoha from the front lines to Tsunade Konoha an emergency meeting, the entire process took no more than three minutes. Faced with such a momentous event, Tsunade couldn't care less about continuing to bully Mei Terumi and hurriedly rushed to the Hokage's office to await the arrival of the others.
Before long, the heads of the various clans, Kakashi, the head of the Anbu, Shizune the medical unit, and Guren, who had performed outstandingly in this battle, all gathered in the Hokage's office.
Former Konoha advisors Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura are no longer qualified to attend important meetings. Once the battle that will determine Konoha's fate is over, Tsunade will order their removal from their posts. Their fate, then, will depend on their performance...
"Everyone, we have the worst news to receive: the defenses of Konoha and Kumogakure have been breached. The Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are both involved in the war, and the fate of the Konoha Ninja on the front lines is unknown."
"Therefore, this time I'm not discussing this with you all, but issuing an order in my capacity as Hokage. You must all comply, understand?"
Sitting behind her desk, Tsunade swept her sharp gaze across the clan heads present. Normally, she wouldn't interfere with their laziness and Tsunade, but during wartime, all clans had to obey the Hokage's orders!
