Farewell to the Raikage

Qingcheng and Tsunade were still locked in a tug-of-war in the grove. Tsunade relentlessly pursued Qingcheng, seemingly determined to fight to the death, while Qingcheng retorted, "If you want money, go rob it yourself, go make your own money through shady means."

The two remained locked in a stalemate. An hour later, Tsunade took matters into her own hands, pouncing on Qingcheng like a tiger pouncing on its prey. She grabbed Qingcheng's neck and yelled, "Are you going to give it to me or not? I've already taken advantage of you, and you've touched my body. If you dare to back out, I'll punch you to Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Looking at the enraged Tsunade, Qingcheng felt a pang of gratitude at his own neck, making it hard to breathe. He then said with an embarrassed expression, "With such strength, why don't you strangle the Fourth Raikage? If you strangled him like that, would he take a whole day and night to surrender?"

Tsunade shook her head and said, "Why would I lie to him? My enemy is you, you inherently evil and greedy Uchiha Clan! How dare you lie to me!"

Qingcheng held up one finger and said with a serious face, "One price, one billion Ryo, not a penny more. I am the most righteous Hokage of Konoha. I cannot line my own pockets. I want to take the money back to Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade nodded again and said with a serious expression, "Next time you're doing shady business, can you take me with you? Actually, I can also steal things; I'm quite talented at it. You should take me with you!"

Hearing Tsunade's words and seeing Tsunade expectant expression, Qingcheng smiled and said, "You are one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, representing the face of Konoha. If you were to go and carry out the Fat Water Plan,' it would be a disgrace to Konoha."

Qingcheng didn't dare let Tsunade participate in the Fat Water Plan." If that guy suddenly went berserk, all the members carrying out the Fat Water Plan would be Teuchi Tsunade.

Another possibility is that Tsunade kept all the money for herself and never gave back to Konoha. The Tsunade now isn't the Tsunade Hokage; she's a slovenly, lazy, greedy gambler, and also a particularly lecherous driver.

Qingcheng patted Tsunade's head again and said with a smile, "You stay in Konoha and keep me company. Go and learn the Three Ninja Prohibitions. Ninjas are not allowed to gamble, nor can they carry out the Fat Water Plan '."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Tsunade said with a serious expression, "Then how come you can do anything? Is it because you are a born evil and greedy Uchiha Clan, with no taboos?"

Qingcheng simply shrugged and said with a smile, "You already said I'm a born evil and greedy Uchiha Clan, so why would I need the Three Ninja Prohibitions? Let me emphasize again, I never went to the Ninja Academy, so I have no ninja ethics, and I'm not some goody-two-shoes. If I were a law-abiding Uchiha Clan, I wouldn't be buried in that Hiruzen Sarutobi grave today, I would be Uchiha Qingcheng!"

Just then, a member of the Police Force ran over and shouted, "Hokage- sama, the Fourth Raikage has signed a peace treaty and a reparations agreement. They agreed to 'nine out, thirteen back,' paying Konoha reparations for ten years, sending 1.4 billion Ryo annually."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng nodded and said with a smile, "Alright, release the ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village and let them return to Hidden Cloud Village as soon as possible. I reckon they can't wait, can they?"

Qingcheng then remembered the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and his heart leaped with joy. He smiled and said, "The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning must be very anxious. His inventory was completely emptied by Hayakumo Sōma and his men. The Land of Lightning's economy has already regressed by thirty years, and this has given them another chance to make matters worse. Land of Lightning and Hidden Cloud Village, you can take your time! I estimate that you won't be able to recover until the Fourth Great Ninja War."

At this point, Qingcheng laughed again, thinking to himself, "You Hidden Cloud Village! You stole Hinata Hyuga, and I'll just take two of your ninja clans, plus the female ninja from the Charlotte Family. We Konoha aren't at a loss at all. Your Hidden Cloud Village's Scroll of Seals is still quite powerful. I'm telling the truth."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, the Police Force immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Lord Hokage, we take our leave."

Watching the departing Police Force, Tsunade said with a serious expression, "The Hidden Cloud Village has truly been defeated, the Cloud Shinobi have submitted, and the Land of Lightning has submitted. This is wonderful; at least we won't have to go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village for at least thirty years."

Qingcheng looked at Tsunade, who was talking to herself, and said with a serious face, "What do you mean by thirty years? Would I give them thirty years? By the time I'm twenty-seven, the entire Shinobi World will probably be unified. The policy of one village, one country is simply not suitable. Those daimyo will only treat us ninjas as laborers or henchmen, and will not care about the lives of us ninjas at all."

The reason Qingcheng accumulated so much money was to continue strengthening the Konoha Ninja absolute overlord of the Shinobi World, then conquer other ninja villages, ultimately ruling the entire Shinobi World and establishing a world empire centered on the Uchiha Clan and Konoha!

Looking at Qingcheng's serious expression, Tsunade said again, "I advise you not to play with fire. You have a problem with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, but they control Konoha's economy. If you turn against the Daimyo, he will cut off our Konoha's economy and might even support other ninja villages to replace our Konoha."

Qingcheng laughed and said seriously, "I know, this is not something you should be thinking about. After we deal with Hidden Cloud Village, we'll go and subdue Hidden Stone Village and teach that red-nosed bandit Ōnoki a lesson, otherwise he'll keep hiding in the village and not come out."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Tsunade said angrily, "Hidden Stone Village hasn't had any conflict with us. What do you mean by attacking them for no reason?"

By 8:30 PM, it was pitch black. On the border of the Land of Fire, the Cloud Ninja and the Konoha Ninja stood on their respective borders.

The Fourth Raikage, with the newly released Cloud Shinobi, stood on the border of the Land of Lightning, Qingcheng, with all the Konoha Ninja, stood on the border of the Land of Fire. The two sides bid each other farewell there.

The Fourth Raikage said with a sorrowful expression, "The Fifth Hokage hopes that you will abide by the peace treaty. We will protect peace from now on."

Qingcheng looked at the honest and unassuming Raikage, nodded directly, and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry! Our Konoha is a peace-loving village. We try to influence other ninja villages with love, and you must have felt that, right? If I say I'll let you go, I definitely will."

Killer B had lost interest in rapping and said with a helpless expression, "Hokage -sama, I want to say hello to you. Thank you for helping me break the seal. Now I can greet Eight-Tails again."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, the Fourth Raikage felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, then said angrily, "Using love to reform? Hypocritical Konoha, hypocritical Fifth Hokage!"

Then Qingcheng called out again, "Farewell everyone, we're off to fight Ōnoki!"
