Tsunade looked at Qingcheng directly asking Black Fang for honey, and said with a bewildered expression, "He can actually do this? It's outrageous! He's the Hokage, and he's openly accepting bribes. Isn't that corruption?"

Kakashi was also baffled by Qingcheng's actions, and said with a shocked expression, "Is it possible to do that? Maybe I can try it next time, after all, I'm also an Assistant Hokage, and I have authority, right?"

Qingcheng, watching Tsunade complaining, took the Royal Jelly and said with a smile, "Kakashi, take the Black Fang to get something to eat, then arrange for the Konoha Ninja to help the Kamimizu clan immigrate. Next, from the village's Ministry of Finance, give the Kamimizu clan ten million in resettlement funds."

Upon hearing about the ten million settlement fee, Black Fang was visibly shocked, then excitedly exclaimed, "Thank you, Lord Hokage! I will definitely improve Tenten! I will definitely improve Tenten!"

Upon hearing about the ten million settlement fee, Kamizuru Kuroba was extremely grateful. Because of the previous Hidden Cloud Village Strengthening Plan, all the ninja clans of Hidden Cloud Village had paid for the Fourth Raikage's plan, including the Kamisumi clan. This was yet another opportunity to worsen the already difficult situation of those less affluent ninja clans.

Therefore, the major ninja clans harbored no goodwill towards the Fourth Raikage, and even felt considerable resentment. Conversely, the commoner Cloud Shinobi of the Cloud Fourth Raikage greatly admired him. This was because the benefits of the Strengthening Plan were primarily directed towards these commoner Cloud Shinobi. Furthermore, the overall economy of the Hidden Cloud Village was not as wealthy as that of the Konoha. To inject such a large-scale economic benefit into the lives of commoner ninja would undoubtedly severely damage the interests of the major ninja clans.

Kakashi then instructed Hyuga Changchun to take Black Fang to eat first, and then dispatched a team of Jonin to pick up and drop off the Kamizuru Clan.

Hyuga Changchun hearing Kakashi's words, Hyuga Nagaharu immediately nodded and said respectfully, "Understood, subordinate. I will definitely complete the mission."

Hyuga Changchun then said with a serious expression, "Black Fang Jonin, please wait until you've had your meal. I'll then send a team of Elite Jonin to assist you with your great migration."

Upon hearing Hyuga Changchun's words, Black Fang said gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Nagaharu, thank you, Fifth Hokage. We will definitely ensure that the Konoha Ninja can enjoy affordable Royal Jelly. Our Kamimizu clan is a very honest ninja clan. Please convey to the Hokage that we are eager to improve."

Tsunade watched as Black Fang walked out of the wooden house, then shouted at Qingcheng, "How could you do this? How could the Hokage of Konoha openly accept kickbacks? Aren't you setting a bad precedent for Konoha Ninja?"

Looking at Tsunade's resentful face, Qingcheng laughed and said, "You foolish Tsunade, you don't understand politics at all. If you don't take some benefits from immigrant ninja clans like them, why would they work wholeheartedly for you? They're afraid of being ostracized."

Seeing Tsunade's incredulous expression, Qingcheng said seriously, "By accepting their bribes, I'm giving them a guarantee that no one will ostracize them in Konoha. It also gives them some say. That's human nature. Even among Konoha Ninja, very few can get bribes into the Hokage's hands."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade thought for a moment and said awkwardly, "Are you telling them that you value them highly and have high hopes for them? Is that the point?"

Qingcheng picked up the Royal Jelly again and said with a serious expression, "Not entirely. I'd also like to try this free Royal Jelly."

After saying that, Qingcheng took out a small cup and poured a large bottle of golden honey into it.

Tsunade looked at the golden Royal Jelly and said with a smile, "This Royal Jelly is good for beauty and health. I want it! You Evil Uchiha, stop right now!"

Having said that, Tsunade reached out and snatched the bottle of Royal Jelly from Qingcheng's arms. Seeing a small cup in Qingcheng's hand, she reached for it as well.

Tsunade snatched the small cup and said excitedly, "You naturally Evil Uchiha, why are you drinking Royal Jelly? I'll try it for you first!"

Looking at Tsunade's rudeness, Qingcheng said awkwardly, "You were just speaking righteously, and now you're joining me in this mess. I got this through shady means, and you're even trying to drink it. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

Tsunade picked up the cup and drank it all in one Royal Jelly, then said excitedly, "You're the one doing the dirty work, what does that have to do with my reputation? I got it from you, and besides, there's no one else here."

Kakashi shook his head at Tsunade's rudeness, then said with a bewildered look, "She really thinks she's family, but I really want to stay away from them."

After Tsunade finished drinking the Royal Jelly, her face flushed slightly, somewhat like she had been drinking alcohol, and she seemed a little excited.

Then Tsunade smiled and said, "This Royal Jelly tastes amazing! After drinking it, I feel sweet inside, and my body is excited, like all the cells in my body are active."

Qingcheng watched as Tsunade picked up the bottle, preparing to chug it down in one go and give everyone a bottle-blowing demonstration, then snorted a few times and coughed.

Qingcheng then shouted with a serious face, "Tsunade, you need to watch your image! Drinking too much Royal Jelly will make you drunk and cause trouble. And what's with all of this? I asked for it, how did you drink it all by yourself?"

Tsunade didn't reply to Qingcheng's words. Instead, she downed a whole bottle of Royal Jelly and said excitedly, "That's perfect! You're the Hokage, you can't drink during work hours, so I drank it all for you. You should thank me, hahaha!"

Qingcheng looked at Tsunade's face! It was already very red, like a boiled shrimp, her face like a peach blossom, her eyes like a spring breeze.

Qingcheng activated his Mangekyō Sharingan again, carefully examining Tsunade's body. Looking at Tsunade heart area, he noticed a faint blue Chakra emanating from it, somewhat similar to Natural Energy. This energy enhanced a ninja's physical abilities; no wonder the ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village were all so physically formidable—this must be the reason."

Qingcheng thought to himself, "The Ninja Bees cultivated by the Kamizuru Clan should be able to collect energy from nature. These Ninja Bees really shouldn't be underestimated; these Mountain Barbarians do have some talented individuals."

Qingcheng selected another ninja clan, the Kuroki Clan of Hidden Cloud Village. This Kuroki Clan is skilled in raising Ninja Ox Ninja Sheep, and they are also proficient in Lightning Release and Earth Release. They can serve as reconnaissance ninjas and combat ninjas.

Qingcheng then said to Kakashi, "Bring Kuroki Ichi here. I need to have a talk with him."
