Hiruzen slammed his fist on the desk in fury. The news of the Suna attack had reached Konoha.

The bastards! Mito's funeral had just ended, and they were already making their move.

The Suna attack had resulted in over a hundred Konoha Shinobi dead and three hundred injured. Many of the injured were poisoned.

If they didn't receive treatment soon, the death toll would rise sharply.

Three hundred was a significant number. A small Hidden Village might not even have that many Shinobi.

"Inform Tsunade. Tell her to head to the front lines."

Hiruzen ordered an Anbu agent. According to the reports, Chiyo's poison was potent. The medics on the front lines could only slow its effects, not cure it.

Tsunade was Konoha's best medic. She was the only one who could handle this.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

An Anbu agent hidden in the shadows vanished to relay the message.

Knock knock knock

"Come in."

A white-haired Anbu with a sword strapped to his back entered and bowed.

"Sakumo, you are relieved of your duties as Anbu Commander. I have a more important mission for you," Hiruzen said gravely.

Sakumo Hatake was Kakashi's father. Besides Hiruzen, he was the strongest in Konoha.

He wasn't much older than Hiruzen's three disciples, but he was far stronger, already at Kage level. A true genius.

"Your orders, Hokage-sama."

Sakumo had no objections to being removed from his position. He would obey the Hokage's commands.

"I'm sending you to the battlefield to replace Orochimaru as the commander."

Hiruzen said.

Orochimaru was currently the commander, but he was still too young and inexperienced for such a responsibility.

Sakumo nodded, accepting the mission without hesitation.

...

"The Second Shinobi World War has begun?" Shin asked Tsunade after seeing off the Anbu messenger.

"It's not a 'World War' yet. Just a conflict between Konoha and Suna," Tsunade corrected him.

Shin scoffed. "Tsunade, do you really think Suna would dare attack Konoha alone?"

If Suna had the guts to attack Konoha alone, they wouldn't have waited this long.

Maintaining a stalemate at the border for months wasn't cheap. Suna wouldn't have done that if they weren't afraid of Konoha.

Now that they were attacking, besides the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki being out of commission, they must have another reason: allies.

Konoha was undeniably powerful. Shin didn't believe Suna would attack without backup.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade frowned.

"Suna must have found allies. Otherwise, why would they attack Konoha alone?"

Tsunade shook her head. Konoha might have suffered a setback, but that was only because Suna had caught them off guard.

Suna was weaker than Konoha. They knew that. If they were attacking, they must have help.

Her expression turned grim.

"Are you going to tell the Sandaime?" Shin asked.

Tsunade nodded. She had to warn him.

"There's no need. If even I can figure this out, don't you think the Sandaime already knows?"

"I'm just saying this war won't be easy. Be careful."

"So you're worried about me?" Tsunade looked at Shin and suddenly pinched his cheek.

"I haven't done this in a while. Feels good."

A smile finally appeared on her face. She hadn't smiled since Mito's death.

"I hate it." Shin swatted her hand away. He wasn't a child; he didn't like being pinched.

If it were someone he wasn't familiar with, he would have trapped them in a Genjutsu world.

"You might hate it, but I like it."

Tsunade reached for his cheek again, but this time, two small hands intercepted her.

"Tsunade-sensei, it's rude to make others uncomfortable," Mikoto said.

"Hmph, why are you touching him?" Kushina glared at Tsunade.

"What's wrong with me touching him? He's my student. I can show him affection. Besides, you're both my students. What right do you have to lecture your teacher?"

Tsunade pulled Shin into a hug, burying his face in her ample bosom. Shin felt a wave of warmth and a slight lack of oxygen.

He could resist, but he wasn't stupid. This was a golden opportunity; he wouldn't waste it.

Tsunade looked at Kushina triumphantly. She was deliberately provoking her.

And she succeeded.

"Mikoto, help me pry this cow off him!"

Kushina yelled through gritted teeth.

"Sorry, Tsunade-sensei, but this is inappropriate. You can't just do that to a boy."

Mikoto sided with Kushina without hesitation. They tried to pull Tsunade away, but they were no match for her strength.

In the end, Shin had to push her away himself.

He would have loved to stay in her embrace, but he needed to breathe.

"I'm leaving. You three stay in the village. Don't go anywhere."

Tsunade said, then left for the battlefield. They didn't know when she would return.

After she left, Kushina and Mikoto glared at Shin.

"Why didn't you resist when Tsunade was taking advantage of you?" Kushina demanded.

Shin was confused. Wasn't he the one taking advantage?

"Ahem, I couldn't resist her strength. Believe me!"

Shin said weakly.

Kushina and Mikoto rolled their eyes. They didn't believe him for a second. He had probably enjoyed it.
