The Fourth Raikage Surrendered

Looking at Kaka's serious face, Qingcheng said directly, "The usual procedure! Send two teams of Elite Jonin to escort Kuroki Ichi back to Hidden Cloud Village and help them transfer to Konoha."

Looking at the terrified Kuroki Ichi, Qingcheng smiled and said, "Clan Chief Ichigo! You did all of this voluntarily, right? If you don't want to join Konoha now, you must say so. Konoha will not force anyone to join. If you don't want to come, you must say so. We are an objective and peaceful village, not some bandit or warlord village. We do not force people to do things we don't want to do, nor do we bully the weak."

Looking at Qingcheng's sinister appearance and hearing his seemingly righteous words, Kuroki Ichi was filled with fear, terrified that he would be killed by these Konoha Ninja.

Kuroki Ichi immediately nodded, then said with a look of fear, "Thank you, Hokage- sama. Our Kuroki Clan is willing to join Konoha and become a member of Konoha."

Looking at the terrified and sweating Kuroki Ichi, Qingcheng said kindly, "Clan Chief Ichigo! Don't be afraid. Just tell me, did I force you? Did I threaten you? Was it voluntary?"

Looking at Qingcheng's immense aura, Kuroki Ichi said in a panic, "The Hokage didn't force us; it was all our own choice. We desperately want to learn the Will of Fire of Konoha, and we want to become Will of Fire inheritors."

All the Konoha Ninjas, seeing Kuroki Ichi's terrified face, looked at him with admiration, thinking to themselves, "As expected of the Hokage, his actions were simple and brutal, getting others to willingly join Konoha while simultaneously weakening Kumogakure's strength. He's truly admirable."

Upon hearing Kuroki Ichi's words, Qingcheng immediately clapped and said "Good!" three times in a row. He then turned to Kakashi and said, "Take the clan chief down for a meal first. After they've eaten, help them move. Make sure to drive their cattle and sheep to our Konoha."

Upon hearing the order, Kakashi nodded respectfully and said, "Understood, subordinate. I will arrange for enough Konoha Jonin to carry out this massive mission."

The Kuroki Clan raised over 200,000 cattle and sheep in Hidden Cloud Village. From these, they selected the best animals for Chakra training. This method created Ninja Ox and Ninja Sheep. These Ninja Ox had many uses; they could be used in combat and for traveling, running faster than ordinary horses.

Qingcheng waved his hand again, signaling the other Konoha Ninja to leave first, while Kakashi stayed behind.

The remaining Konoha Ninja, seeing the Hokage's gesture, all called out, "Your subordinates take their leave," and then these Konoha Ninja led Kuroki Ichi towards the kitchen.

The kitchen in Konoha was located behind the prisoner-of-war camp. It was a very simple kitchen with just a few large pots, where many of Konoha's Jonin took turns eating.

Seeing that Kakashi remained in the room, Qingcheng said, "Have the Konoha Ninjas search all the prisoners from Hidden Cloud Village and extract all their money, Ninjutsu, and clan secret techniques."

Looking at Kakashi's serious face, Qingcheng continued, "Especially Darui's Storm Release Ninjutsu and the Black Lightning, we must get them. The process can be a bit brutal and violent; I need to recover my Chakra. I used too many Ninjutsu this time, and my body is severely depleted."

Upon hearing this mission, Kakashi frowned again, saying with great concern, "What if they refuse to cooperate? Or what if they're just giving fake Ninjutsu? Wouldn't that pose a risk to Konoha?"

Qingcheng immediately said, "Take those Police Force with you. They know how to make money through shady means. Their tricks are even more ingenious than you think. If Shouhon Yihan were here, I wouldn't even need to say a word; that Kuroki Ichi would kneel down right away."

Kakashi immediately nodded, then walked out of the house and headed towards the Raikage on the other side, preparing to summon the members of the Police Force.

The Fourth Raikage already been strangled unconscious. Hyuga Hisaharu and more than a dozen members of the Police Force were relentlessly choking him. Even someone as strong as steel would be driven to question their existence by such a relentless strangulation.

Seeing that the Fourth Raikage had fainted, Hyuga Hisaharu called for the Police Force personnel to give him water, first to reawaken Fourth Raikage, and then to strangle him with wire.

Many Konoha Ninjas gathered to watch. The Fourth Raikage was choked unconscious several times, unable to even speak. These Konoha Ninjas, enjoying the spectacle, all wore satisfied expressions. Some even shouted, "Captain Konoha Ninja, can I try flying a kite too? Or can I try knocking on your teeth?"

Hyuga Hisaharu looked at the eager Konoha Ninjas and said with a serious expression, "You guys can't handle this job. What if you don't control your strength well and strangle this dark-skinned guy to death? The Hokage won't be happy then."

Several other Police Force personnel shouted, "Captain Richun is right. We have a method for chipping away at Raikage's front teeth. First, we need to make him feel pain, and then we need to use vines to pry open his mouth. If he bites his tongue and commits suicide, that would be troublesome."

Another member of the Police Force used a Water Release on the Fourth Raikage, directly waking him from his unconscious state.

The Fourth Raikage, still unconscious, had just seen his father, the Third Raikage, who then spoke again, "Dad, I'm sorry. I've led Hidden Cloud Village into hell. I surrender now."

In a dazed state, the Fourth Raikage felt another column of water flow directly onto his head.

The Fourth Raikage then woke up again, looked at his teeth and saw that he was missing several more, and that his neck was wrapped with wire. He said in a panic, "I surrender! Stop it right now!"

However, because the Fourth Raikage's neck was bound, his words were mumbled and incoherent, and no one could understand him at all.

But the Fourth Raikage was already ugly, and with his lisp, he sounded extremely agitated when he spoke, almost like he was cursing.

Hyuga Changchun looked at the Fourth Raikage! Still with that arrogant look, he shouted again, "Keep choking him! You have to choke him until he's terrified! I don't believe you can hold out any longer!"

The Police Force with chisels immediately focused their attention on the Fourth Raikage's molars, then pulled out hammers and began striking the Fourth Raikage's teeth with a series of thuds.

A member of the Police Force retrieved another of the Fourth Raikage's teeth and exclaimed, "I didn't expect this dark-skinned guy's teeth to be so white. Did he use dark toothpaste?"

Kakashi looked at the Raikage, who was screaming in pain again, and said, "He seems to be surrendering. Let him go!"

The Police Force who had just knocked out Raikage's molar pressed it back in and said, "Black-Skinned Lao Ai! I'll leave you one tooth to eat porridge! Who told you to be so ugly? Even your surrendering look is ugly."
