"What do you mean?"
Tsunade frowned, somewhat confused about this action.
She didn't see the need to split the troops.
"Lord Tsunade, I think sending a team into the Land of Earth will only bring benefits and no harm," Nara Shouta had his own considerations. Looking at the overall situation, he believed it was a necessary move.
"Tell me in detail."
Kawaki also became interested. It felt really good not to have to think.
The Uchiha clan leader also looked at Shouta with a smile on his face.
"Firstly, we can keep track of their movements at any time, so we won't be as passive as last time."
"Secondly, we suffered heavy losses because of the Iwagakure Ninjas. Joining in this time can be a way to give an account to our fallen brothers."
After saying that, Shouta showed a smile on his lips. His view was also recognized by everyone.
"Not bad. It makes some sense."
"Who among you is willing to go?"
Tsunade didn't plan to send Kawaki and the others. Defeating the Land of Wind was the top priority.
"I, of the Uchiha clan, am willing to go to the Land of Earth," the Uchiha clan leader took the initiative to take on this task, which was what he had planned when he brought it up.
The situation in the Land of Wind was already one-sided. Whether he went or not didn't matter much.
Going to the Land of Earth now would make it easier to gain merits.
Revenge was just one of the reasons.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to make this trip."
"If there's nothing else, dismiss the meeting. Go and make preparations."
This meeting went smoothly, and Tsunade's attitude was very gentle.
"Yes, Lord Tsunade."
The Konoha Ninjas were in a good mood now. With smiles on their faces, they left the hall in groups.
"Let's go too."
Kawaki stood up and called everyone to leave. Tsunade walked beside him.
Behind them were the two young ones. As soon as Sakumo and Dai stepped out of the door, they disappeared.
"I wonder if Misaki has arrived home."
"I hope Grandma won't dislike her."
Nawaki brought up his little sister again. When he had something on his mind, he just wanted to say it out.
"You're still so young but have so many things to worry about."
"You can go back after the war."
Tsunade looked back at this useless younger brother. It seemed that he wouldn't have much status at home in the future.
It was quite pitiful. He was bullied by her when he was young, and he'd still be bullied by his wife when he grew up.
"I wonder if Kushina has grown taller," Minato couldn't help but think of his little fiery girl. He and Nawaki were like a pair of clowns.
"So she can beat you up more easily when she's taller?"
Kawaki suddenly said something, which left Minato stunned. He was actually speechless.
"Haha, Kushina isn't that kind of person," Tsunade laughed heartily, but what she said was against her will.
"Brother-in-law, you're quite right."
"Misaki is much gentler than Kushina," Nawaki couldn't help but feel proud. Kushina had even beaten him before.
It's just that he didn't want to haggle with a girl. In fact, he really wasn't her match at that time.
How shameful!
"So what if she's gentle? Do you think you won't get beaten up?"
Minato retorted to Nawaki in a sarcastic tone.
"Well, I'd be willing to be beaten by her anyway."
Nawaki wore a silly smile, as if he could already picture himself being beaten by Misaki.
"He's hopeless. Let's go," Kawaki shook his head, then pulled Tsunade away from the two young ones.
Why are there so many lovestruck people around me?
...
Misaki had entered Konoha with the injured troops from Konoha.
A ninja instructed by Tsunade led her towards the Senju clan's mansion.
Looking at the bustling and tidy streets of Konoha and the smiles on the villagers' faces, Misaki felt more relaxed.
"The environment in our Konoha is quite nice," said the ninja, who was about forty years old. Misaki was around the same age as his daughter.
Moreover, since it was a special assignment from Lord Tsunade, he wore a gentle smile and initiated a conversation with Misaki.
"Yeah, it is," Misaki nodded and continued to look around. This place was far better than the small town in the Land of Grass.
After walking through several streets, they arrived at the Senju clan's mansion.
Although Misaki had mentally prepared herself, as the princess of the Uzumaki Country, she wouldn't be living in a small place.
However, the scale of the mansion still shocked her greatly. In the Uzumaki Country, she was just an ordinary civilian and had never seen such a large mansion.
"We're here. I'll go and knock on the door," said the Konoha ninja. He stepped forward and knocked on the gate. Soon, the door opened.
A red - haired girl opened the gate and poked her head out to look around.
The moment she saw Misaki, her pupils suddenly widened.
This was the third person with the same hair color as hers that she had seen in Konoha.
"Miss Kushina, this is the person Lord Tsunade asked us to bring back," the Konoha ninja pointed at Misaki and introduced her to Kushina.
"Sister Tsunade?" Kushina asked with a hint of doubt, looking at the Konoha ninja.
"Yes. You can talk now. My mission is completed," the Konoha ninja waved goodbye to Misaki and then turned to leave.
"Your hair is the same color as mine! What's your name? I'm Kushina Uzumaki," Kushina ran out from behind the door, grabbed Misaki's hand and asked.
"Ah, I'm Misaki, Misaki Uzumaki," Misaki was startled by Kushina's actions and didn't say her full name at first, then she added her surname.
"Hehe, I knew you were from my clan," Kushina looked at Misaki and became more and more delighted.
"I have a letter that Sister Tsunade asked me to give to her grandma. Is she home?" Misaki took out the letter from her bosom and carefully asked Kushina.
"Yes, I'll take you there," Kushina grabbed Misaki's hand and ran into the gate.
"Slow down. I can't run fast," Misaki, an ordinary person, was being dragged by Kushina and found it very strenuous.
"Sorry," Kushina stuck out her tongue and slowed down.
Not long after, Kushina led Misaki to Mito's bedroom door.
"Grandma Mito, can I come in?" Kushina politely knocked on the door. She still had a lot of respect for Mito.
"Come in," Mito's voice came from inside. She had already sensed the presence of two people.
"Creak~" Kushina pushed the door open and led Misaki inside.
"Grandma Mito, these are the clan members sent back by Sister Tsunade."
"Her name is Misaki Uzumaki."
As soon as she entered the door, she ran straight to Mito, her happiness clearly written on her face.
Misaki was stunned when she saw Mito. Is she really from the grandma generation?
How could she be so young and gorgeous?
Mito looked at Misaki with a beaming smile. Since the fall of Uzumaki Country, she hadn't seen many fellow clan - members.
"Lady Mito, this is a letter Sister Tsunade asked me to give you."
Misaki summoned up her courage and stepped forward to hand the letter over.
Mito took the letter and opened it. After reading, she got the whole picture of the matter.
That silly lad Nawaki is quite lucky. Putting the letter down, she sized Misaki up carefully.
The more she looked at Misaki, the more pleased she became. She also casually glanced between Misaki and Kushina.
"Good girl, call me grandma from now on."
"Stay here and feel at home."
Mito reached out and stroked Misaki's head. This red hair was as beautiful as her own.
"We'll be good friends from now on, okay?"
Kushina also stepped forward and took Misaki by the arm.
"Thank you, Grandma Mito."
Tears welled up in Misaki's eyes, and her voice cracked with emotion as she spoke.
