Chapter 377

Ox and Horse stepped out from the crowd.

Shin Morimoto was seriously injured and unconscious, so they had to preside over the big picture.

"The Hidden Grass Village has no Uzumaki clan members? Then who are they?"

Tsunade pointed at Karin and her mother and asked with a cold tone.

Ox, Horse, and the others all fell silent.

Now that Karin and her mother had been found by the Hidden Leaf ninjas, what Shin Morimoto had said earlier naturally became a lie.

The Hidden Leaf Village was one of the Five Great Villages.

The Hidden Grass Village's deception was undoubtedly a serious provocation to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Most importantly, in the battle just now, they hadn't gained any advantage; if they continued to fight, it would only increase their losses.

"This matter ends here."

Tsunade gave a cold huff and said, "If the Hidden Grass Village isn't convinced, feel free to come to the Hidden Leaf Village!"

She turned around, flicked her tea-green coat, and walked out.

The smell of blood was too strong, making her unable to bear it.

If she stayed any longer, she might trigger her hemophobia.

At that time, she would lose all face.

Of course, the only ones who knew this secret were Kitazawa and Shizune.

In the eyes of Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, and others, Tsunade was still that Tsunade, full of dominance.

"Let's go."

Kitazawa said, and followed Tsunade.

Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, and other Anbu ninjas retreated while remaining vigilant.

But the Hidden Grass crowd had already been scared out of their wits and didn't make any moves.

"If I had known, I would have just given Karin and the others to the Hidden Leaf Village."

Horse looked at the bruised and battered crowd and couldn't help but feel regret.

To pay such a high price for two mobile blood bags was truly not worth it.

And in the end, they hadn't even kept them.

The Hidden Grass Village had lost both money and goods.

"It's useless."

Ox had already reacted and said, "From the beginning, the Hidden Leaf Village didn't want us to hand them over."

"Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Horse asked unwillingly.

"After the leader wakes up, we can tell the other four great villages about this."

Ox took a deep breath and said, "If they don't have any reaction, then this matter can only be dropped."

"The Hidden Grass Village is ultimately too weak."

Horse said with a livid face.

"Using the Box of Ultimate Bliss is imperative!"

Ox said firmly, "In two days, we'll go find Mui to cooperate!"

The Box of Ultimate Bliss was kept in Blood Prison, guarded by Mui.

But Mui had previously asked for an exorbitant price, so the cooperation hadn't been completed.

Now, after the commotion caused by Tsunade and Kitazawa, Ox and Horse felt humiliated and decided to cooperate with Mui at any cost.

After leaving the range of the Hidden Grass Village, the Hidden Leaf crowd finally stopped.

"They didn't follow."

Itachi Uchiha approached from afar and landed in front of the crowd.

He had taken the initiative to stay behind to guard against the Hidden Grass ninjas.

"Mm."

Tsunade nodded and looked at Karin and her mother.

"Please... don't hurt Karin."

The young female ninja blocked Karin and said with a trembling voice, "I can do anything."

"We are ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village."

Tsunade's gaze fell on the teeth marks on the young female ninja's body.

With the Uzumaki clan's powerful physical abilities, under normal circumstances, teeth marks would disappear on their own before long.

But so many teeth marks left on her body meant her chakra had been over-consumed, to the point where her body couldn't heal itself.

If she hadn't already given the Hidden Grass ninjas a sound beating, Tsunade would definitely have turned back to beat them up again.

"Hidden... Hidden Leaf Village?"

The young female ninja was stunned.

She remembered the Hidden Leaf Village was an ally of the Uzumaki clan, but she had stayed in the Hidden Grass Village for too long and had lost the ability to trust others.

Hearing this suddenly, she still didn't relax her vigilance.

"I am Tsunade."

Tsunade reached out, and pale green chakra surged out.

The young female ninja's eyes widened.

Although she couldn't leave the Hidden Grass Village, she had heard the name Tsunade.

The young female ninja felt the warmth surging inside her body and finally couldn't hold back; tears flowed down.

"Your body is quite depleted; after we return to the Hidden Leaf Village, I'll adjust your body for a period of time, and Itachi should be able to recover."

Tsunade wiped her tears and promised, "Once Itachi reach the Hidden Leaf Village, no one will bully Itachi again."

"Thank... thank Itachi, Lady Tsunade."

The young female ninja choked with sobs.

Her hellish life had finally come to an end.

"What is your name?"

Tsunade sighed in her heart and asked with rare gentleness.

"Karin Uzumaki."

After Karin Uzumaki finished speaking, she pulled Karin to her front and introduced, "This is my daughter, Karin."

"Lady Tsunade."

Karin called out crisply.

"Do Itachi have anything else to handle in the Hidden Grass Village?"

Tsunade had wanted to ask if Karin's father was still alive, but changed her phrasing in a flash.

Because she knew very well that a female ninja treated as a mobile blood bag didn't have any choice.

"No."

Karin Uzumaki turned to look at the Hidden Grass Village and said, "I only hope that we mother and daughter never have a day to return."

"That won't happen."

Tsunade understood immediately, "Let's go, we're returning to the Hidden Leaf Village."

The group returned the way they came.

Because Karin and her mother were added, their speed was much slower.

Two days later, on Friday morning, they finally arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village.

【Current Mission: Safely escort Karin and her mother back to the Hidden Leaf Village.】

【Mission Reward: Fire Sealing Method.】

【The host has completed the mission, reward issued.】

Kitazawa looked at the text that appeared before him, thinking that the system's reward came just in time.

The moment he stepped into the Hidden Leaf Village, the reward was issued immediately.

Kitazawa thought of the ninja school again.

He had taken leave last Friday, and since this mission didn't require deceiving Danzo Shimura, he didn't need to ask someone to disguise themselves like last time.

As for his classes, they would be covered by Iruka Umino.

"Itachi come with me to see the old man."

Tsunade paused and said, "Kitazawa, Itachi come too."

"Alright."

Kitazawa regained his senses and nodded.

He had made a great contribution in this mission; after all, it was he who discovered Karin and her mother first.

Given the personalities of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, his reward definitely wouldn't run away, but he didn't know what it would be.
