No Sense of Urgency

As the Five-Tails fox's eyes lost their luster, the Third Tsuchikage's gaze towards Yang Xing became more solemn.

He now has no doubt that the Nine-Tails was indeed sealed by this brat, and Yang Xing, who can use Tailed Beast as a summoning beast, is someone he has to treat with caution. It seems that he has to seriously consider what happened last time.

Ōnoki was deep in thought.

Yang Xing turned his head and said something that made Ōnoki realize something.

"Old man Tsuchikage, could you lend me your stored summoning scrolls?"

After glancing at the motionless Five-Tails ahead, Ōnoki adjusted his expression, formed a hand Hand Seals, and a scroll immediately appeared in the sky. Grabbing the scroll, Ōnoki threw it at Yang Xing.

"Write his name down, let him put his handprint on it, and then infuse him with Chakra. That's enough."

Having caught the scroll that could form a contract and transform any sentient being into a summoned beast, Yang Xing began to deal with the Tailed Beast in front of him. What he needed to do was actually quite simple.

The Five-Tails Beast is just an empty shell right now. To get it to sign this contract, it's just a small Genjutsu control. After doing all that, its soul will temporarily return to its body and then be sent into the spirit world of the summoned beast. That's all it takes to complete the process.

In this semi-conscious state, the Five-Tails Kokuō signed the contract. By the time it awoke, it was already in the spirit world of summoned beasts, and there was nothing it could do to Rotation.

Within that spirit realm, mournful cries echoed, but those in the Land of Earth could not hear them.

Is everything over?

So when everything was over, Tsunade and the others rushed over. Seeing that Yang Xing was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, the summoning scroll not far away still made Tsunade frown.

"Hey kid, you didn't try to capture that thing as a summoning beast, did you?" Tsunade landed in front of Yang Xing with a leap, her trench coat rustling.

"Hmm, is there a problem?" Satisfied, Yang Xing put the scroll away, formed another Hand Seals to store it within his body, and then turned to look at Tsunade expression was not good.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Tsunade, her face tense. "Summoning beasts can't control its actions. These highly intelligent Tailed Beast are impossible to completely control. They could erupt at any moment."

"If this isn't a problem, with my Dōjutsu, it won't dare to act recklessly."

"Kid, I really don't understand." Tsunade understood that Yang Xing was right, but she didn't want this dangerous thing to remain. "Hey, tell me your reason, a reasonable reason. Why do you have the ability to kill it, yet you still want to seal it away?"

"This is a secret; Tsunade will find out later."

"Well, never mind, old Tsuchikage." Tsunade gave up decisively. Seemingly understanding Yang Xing's personality well, she sighed and then focused her attention on the other person, "The matter is resolved. Don't you have anything to say?"

Faced with Tsunade's aggressive demeanor, the old Tsuchikage's face turned pale and then red, before finally sighing and turning away, leaving only a very soft "Thanks."

It was rare to hear words of gratitude from the stubborn Ōnoki, but unfortunately, Tsunade wasn't about to let him off so easily.

With a swift movement, he directly blocked Ōnoki's path.

Seeing Tsunade blocking his way, Ōnoki's face darkened. "I've already said my thanks, what else is there to say? To be honest, it was this brat who farted the Tailed Beast, he was just doing what he was supposed to do."

"That's your Land of Earth's own responsibility. Don't blame others. Have you forgotten the contents of the blood oath?" Tsunade met her gaze coldly, her aura unwavering.

"You..." Ōnoki was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened, his face turning ashen with rage. "Tsunade, what exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple. I remember my brother came to you, seemingly asking you to do something. Unfortunately, you thought about it for a whole day but couldn't come to a conclusion. Now, shouldn't you be able to give an answer to this matter?" Tsunade's gaze was very aggressive.

Glancing at Yang Xing, Ōnoki said with a slightly displeased expression, "Hey, hey, consider this my agreement, alright?"

There's one more thing.

"Anything else?" Ōnoki was clearly furious but couldn't vent his anger. After all, this woman's strength was not simple, and with that brat on top of that, he didn't want Iwagakure to be destroyed in his hands as the next Tsuchikage.

Tsunade, as expected of a woman who could become Hokage, was just as imposing as Ōnoki in front of her. "Of course, there's one more thing we haven't considered. Didn't you plan to use your granddaughter as a vessel? But Yang Xing stopped you, so in a way, he helped you out."

"So what do you want?"

"It's very simple."

"Tsunade- neechan, wait a minute!" Seeing that Tsunade's smile was a little mischievous, and glancing at Kurotsuchi who was returning not far away, Yang Xing immediately shouted and jumped forward to stop her.

"Kid, what are you doing interrupting?" Tsunade, displeased that Yang Xing had stopped Tsunade on her hips and said, "I was trying to help you."

With a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead, Yang Xing glared at Tsunade and said to Ōnoki ahead, "Just agree to what I said before, and don't worry about anything else."

Ōnoki was completely baffled.

Tsunade, however, looked quite displeased. "Hey, didn't you like that Kurotsuchi? Kid, don't think I don't know why you went back earlier. She has good potential. This is wartime, having more girlfriends is no problem at all."

Yang Xing: "..."

Yang Xing never expected that such words would come from Tsunade's mouth. And speaking of which, it is indeed true, given the constant warfare during the Warring States period, there is absolutely no question about it.

However, this is not the point at all. Although Kurotsuchi does have feelings for her, the girl's value lies in staying in the Land of Earth. Her value as the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage cannot be realized by her staying with him.

This girl is different from Guren, different from Konan, and even different from Shizune.

The granddaughter of the Hokage of the Land of Earth, suffering alongside him, has completely changed her.

And most importantly, this is the future successor to the Tsuchikage!

Of course, Yang Xing couldn't tell Tsunade these things, so he could only laugh it off and say, "I think I'm still young, so let's talk about these things in a few years."

"Wait a few years, kid. You need to understand, if you wait a few years, someone else might snatch her away. Don't you feel any sense of crisis then?"

Yang Xing: "..."

Damn it, why is this guy even more anxious than me?

Speechless, Yang Xing didn't want to explain anything and walked back without saying a word.

"Hey, are you really planning to wait?" Tsunade quickly followed, advising as they walked, "Yang Xing, to be honest, I think that girl has good potential. Bringing her back to Konoha will definitely strengthen the Konoha."

Yes, winning over powerful ninjas from enemy countries and developing Konoha is what Tsunade wants to do now.

Of course, she wouldn't care how many girlfriends Yang Xing had. As long as they had good potential, she would bring them all back to Konoha in one go. That was Tsunade's new ideal.

"I have no interest in the development of Konoha. If Tsunade likes it, she can go there herself."

"I can go by myself, but wait, that girl doesn't like me, so there's no point in me going. Kid, wait a minute!" Tsunade hurriedly followed, then waved to Shizune who was not far away, saying, "Shizune, I'm leaving the treatment of the injured person to you."
