A Soft-Hearted Uchiha

Just now, the Hidden Mist Village was in a state of disarray, fighting individually without any intention of fighting to the death. But Shouhon Yihan and those Police Force personnel said something like that, directly hitting the Mist Ninja in the gut. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone someone who insults their leader.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "Those Mist Ninja just now weren't united. If we gave them a chance to live, they would definitely surrender immediately. Killing them all would only benefit Obito and result in the loss of Terumi Mei. It's a losing proposition."

Qingcheng then scolded Shouhon Yihan, "You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? I am the Hokage, and you have overstepped your bounds again!"

Shouhon Yihan carefully observed the Hokage's eyes and noticed that the Fifth Hokage's expression was very stern. She then blinked, realizing this was an expression of remorse.

Shouhon Yihan had clearly memorized every expression of the Fifth Hokage. For example, if he blinked, it meant he wanted her to go; if he was very stern, it meant he wanted her to admit her mistake.

Shouhon Yihan dared not misremember a single meaning in those glances; if she did, it would truly be an overstepping of her bounds, and she would never have the chance to be a dog again.

Then Shouhon Yihan said humbly, "I'm sorry, Fifth Hokage. I overstepped my bounds just now. I will definitely watch my mouth when I get back."

After saying that, Shouhon Yihan lowered her head humbly, her face showing a clear "I know I was wrong" expression.

All the Mist Ninja were shocked by this scene and began whispering among themselves, "What does this guy mean? Doesn't he want to kill us?"

Terumi Mei was also stunned, saying in disbelief, "They're not planning to kill us? Otherwise, why would they do this? Or do they have some other purpose?"

Qingcheng deactivated his Lightning God Armor and walked directly to Terumi Mei, saying with a smile, "Your resolve has deeply moved me. As a kind-hearted Uchiha Clan, I am extremely unwilling to annihilate you all."

Qingcheng pointed at Utakata again and said with a serious face, "You all saw it too. Even if it is the ferocious Six-Tails, I don't want to kill him. I am just an Uchiha Clan with a saintly heart. Fellow ninjas of Hidden Mist Village, can you all feel that?"

Upon Terumi Mei was shocked and said in disbelief, "What's going on with this Uchiha Clan with a saintly heart? Fifth Hokage! What are you trying to do? Don't try to fool us with these sweet words!"

The group of Kirigakure Ninja were completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. They stared at each other wide-eyed, then exclaimed in shock, "An Uchiha Clan with a saintly heart? Does that mean we don't have to die? That would be wonderful! We can all go home!"

With just a few words, Qingcheng made these Mist Ninjas, who were ready to die, stare at each other wide-eyed, no longer wanting to continue the fight.

Ao, a seasoned veteran, nearly vomited upon hearing about the Uchiha Clan's supposed saintly nature. "Uchiha Clan and saintly nature have absolutely nothing to do with each other! On the contrary, madness and brutality are the true nature of the Uchiha Clan!"

To hear from an Uchiha Clan that you have a saintly heart is the most deceptive lie, like a wolf saying it will fall in love with a sheep.

With a stern expression, Qing shouted, "Don't believe him! Pick up your weapons and fight back! The Uchiha Clan can't possibly have a saintly heart. He's lying, he's deceiving you! Let's fight Konoha!"

Upon hearing that they could survive, the Kirigakure Ninja dared not fight back, especially since the Fifth Hokage had assured them they wouldn't be killed. So, the Mist Ninja simply stood by and watched, not even raising their weapons.

Hozuki Mangetsu and Ringo Ameyuri were also utterly shocked. Seeing all the Kirigakure ninja lose their will to fight, they were at a loss for what to do and could only look at Terumi Mei, waiting for their captain's words.

After hearing Ao's words, Terumi Mei stared blankly at Qingcheng, then said earnestly, "You really have a saintly heart, but hearing the Uchiha Clan say such things is ironic. Unless you let us leave, I promise I will never invade the Land of Fire again."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng laughed heartily and said to Terumi Mei, "I've already said I'm a compassionate Uchiha Clan, why are you all getting so worked up? Although you all came to invade the Land of Fire in ships, it wasn't your idea, it was all that little Mizukage's idea. As the strongest Hokage, I will naturally forgive you."

Qingcheng's words meant that he forgave them, that they had nothing to fear, and that the invasion of the Land of Fire was an order given by the cowardly and incompetent Mizukage, and that he would not blame them.

Qingcheng is setting a trap for the Fourth Mizukage, wanting to see how the Mist Mizukage will treat him.

As a result of these words, the Mist Ninja, who hadn't even started the war yet, were in an uproar. Countless Mist Ninja pointed at Yagura's ancestor and cursed him, calling him cruel, ruthless, and inhuman.

Some of the Mist Ninja directly cursed, "The Fourth Mizukage is a bastard! He made us kill each other! He's a selfish and greedy beast!"

Looking at this familiar scene, Qingcheng felt a sudden sense of déjà vu, as if he were witnessing the Konoha Ninjas cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi back then.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Since that's the case, why don't you join our Konoha! Let's work together to create a kind and beautiful Konoha."

Upon hearing this, a few Mist Ninja couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage, but we still have families there. We'll come to Konoha when we have the chance."

Terumi Mei looked at her villagers, who were all about to defect after just a few words from the Fifth Hokage. Her face was full of anger. She stared at Qingcheng with her light blue eyes and said with a resentful tone, "Fifth Hokage, aren't you going too far? Poaching our villagers like this!"

Looking at the Terumi Mei, Qingcheng laughed again and said directly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I already said, I'm just a saintly Uchiha Clan. I can't stand seeing my brothers in Hidden Mist Village suffer. Look at the people in our village, aren't they all strong and healthy? Elite Jonin are a dime a dozen."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "If I hadn't been preparing to fight Hidden Cloud Village Hidden Stone Village, you could see my Konoha's million-strong army right now."
