I'm Not Here to Fight

After passing several mountain peaks and traversing several groves of trees, Qingcheng arrived at the camp on the border of Konoha.

Because this camp borders the Land of Earth, the houses are all built of Kitsuchi, giving them a yellowish-brown color, which creates a unique style, much like the Kitsuchi itself.

As Qingcheng entered the camp, a large number of border ninjas came out. Seeing the Hokage arrive, they shouted excitedly, "Long live the Hokage! Long live the Hokage!"

Thousands of Konoha's border ninjas were shouting wildly there, their voices so loud they almost echoed through the sky.

Looking at these Konoha Ninja full of energy and spirit, Qingcheng was very pleased. He waved his hand and called out, "My fellow Konoha ninjas, you have worked hard guarding the border. I, the strongest Hokage in history, the most handsome Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Qingcheng, have come to visit you. You have all worked hard guarding the Land of Fire. When we return, I will reward you according to your merits."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Tsunade's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she said with disbelief, "You're still a little short of Strongest Hokage in history, but the way you're talking makes me feel like you're incredibly shameless."

Immediately, a large number of Konoha Ninja applauded and cheered, shouting, "Hokage is mighty! Hokage -sama is invincible! Long live Hokage- sama!"

More than ten thousand Konoha Ninja roared at the top of their lungs, their voices even louder than before, as if piercing the sky. Qingcheng looked at all the Konoha Ninja, his eyes filled with fighting spirit—a fighting spirit against the Hidden Stone Village ninjas.

Qingcheng was also very satisfied. He waved his hand again, signaling everyone to disperse, and then shouted, "Go and prepare your things. We're about to start the war. This time, we'll completely subdue Hidden Stone Village!"

Shouhon Yihan and a group of Police Force pulled out more than twenty large boxes, all filled with piles of Explosive Tag —approximately three million Explosive Tag —along with five million Shuriken and more than two hundred thousand Soldier Pills.

These Soldier Pills replenish stamina, accelerate Chakra recovery, and even fill the stomach. They are the first-generation products of Konoha's Technology Department and are now ready for use in warfare to help Konoha Ninja recover their Chakra.

Shouhon Yihan directly called out to the various Konoha Ninja, "Come and collect your supplies! Each person can only take twenty of these Soldier Pills. They are all Orino Yasuke Katasuke's new products, which can help everyone restore their Chakra."

Immediately, a large number of Konoha Ninja rushed to the Police Force and began collecting Explosive Tag! Shuriken, and the latest product, the first-generation Soldier Pills ...

Qingcheng glanced at Tsunade beside him, then smiled and said, "They love it when I say that. Even Hokage needs a little humor, you understand? This time, I'm going to completely eliminate these future troubles and defeat Ōnoki and the Hidden Stone Village."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Tsunade shook her head and said with a look of disdain, "You naturally flamboyant Uchiha Clan, you should just step down and give way to a more capable person!"

Kakashi also walked around the camp, looking at his familiar friends, and then greeted Yamanaka Inoichi, saying, "Head of Inoichi, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Yamanaka Inoichi looked at Kakashi behind him and laughed heartily, saying with a serious face, "I heard you guys won a great victory in the Land of Lightning, not only looting the Land of Lightning but also emptying the Hidden Cloud Village. The Fourth Raikage is probably furious by now, isn't he?"

Kakashi nodded directly, then said with a serious expression, "This is really too reckless. The Land of Lightning has already lost a lot of its economy, and the Hidden Cloud Village has even lost the Scroll of Seals, as well as a large number of clan Ninjutsu. I guess they are still inscribing new Scroll of Seals."

Upon seeing Qingcheng, Dingza smiled and said, "Hokage -sama, it's been a long time! You not only defeated Hidden Mist Village, but also Hidden Cloud Village! You're truly amazing! You've greatly enhanced Konoha's reputation. I think we won't need to have Ninja World War for the Future few decades."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a serious expression, "Clan Head Dingza! Your Akimichi Clan has made a great contribution this time. I will give you a portion of the money as a reward when we return. Although I know that you are all wealthy ninja clans in Konoha, Konoha rewards merit and punishes wrongdoing. We treat everyone equally."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Akimichi Choza laughed heartily and said happily, "Then thank you so much, Hokage -sama! Our Akimichi Clan is just about to expand our territory, and my Choji to practice with the Human Bullet Tank."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng smiled and asked, "Has Choji already started learning Ninjutsu? Then your Akimichi Clan certainly has a worthy successor."

Akimichi Choza said with a serious expression, "Yes, Hokage- sama, because many of his classmates have become stronger, especially Naruto who has learned the Gale Palm and is practicing Sealing Jutsu in preparation for creating the Flying Thunder God Technique."

At this point, Choji paused again, then said with an envious look, "And your clan's Sasuke has already mastered Chidori and the Great Fire Dragon Flame Jutsu. It's really put a lot of pressure on my Choji. He doesn't want to hold his classmates back, so he's also determined to work hard and prepare for rigorous training."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng nodded and said with admiration, "Choji is very talented; he will become an excellent ninja."

Cheers erupted from the Land of Land of Earth's camp as a large number of Stone Ninja shouted, "Lord Tsuchikage! Hidden Stone Village will prevail!"

Ōnoki, along with Roshi, Han (the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki), Kitsuchi, and the Bloodstained Ninja using Explosion Release! They, along with a large number of elite Stone Ninja, descended from the sky and landed in the Hidden Stone Village's camp.

Upon seeing Tsuchikawa, Ōnoki immediately cried out, "Lord Tsuchikage, I have failed in my duties and have been defeated by the Konoha Ninja several times. Please punish me Lord Tsuchikage!"

At this time, Ōnoki wasn't as old as he was Fourth Great Ninja War, and his back pain wasn't as severe, but his red nose was still very noticeable.

Ōnoki's voice was very calm, and he said with a serious expression, "I understand, Tsuchikawa. We came here not to start a war with Konoha. The strength of Konoha is far greater than before. They easily defeated that group of mountain bandits. We have already lost our chance."
