Keep It Quiet

Tsunade leaped directly down from the top of the Wood Dragon's head, landing steadily on the ground, her chest undulating. The two magnificent peaks began to rise and fall with Tsunade descent.

Tsunade watched as Qingcheng captured both the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and Five-Tails Jinchuriki, and sealed away the fallen tails of the Tailed Beast. She then said to Qingcheng, "Your Flying Thunder God Squad, and your Fat Water Squad, what about them?"

Qingcheng has already seen it; Hayakumo Sōma and the others are already riding the Ink Giant Bird towards Kyoto of the Land of Earth, preparing to launch their Oil and Water Plan to bring the wealth of the Land of Earth back to Konoha."

Qingcheng also greatly admired Hayakumo Sōma, knowing how to seize opportunities, assess the situation, and take advantage of unconventional means when necessary.

As for this behavior, Qingcheng felt quite comfortable. Even the boss of Konoha, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, had been robbed by the Konoha Police Force. Why shouldn't we Konoha Ninja rob the Daimyo of other countries?

Qingcheng thought to himself, "We not only want to rob other countries, but we want to rob them ruthlessly. Only then can we live up to the name of the Land of Fire. Do you think the Konoha Ninja have any sense of ninjutsu? When we rob other countries, we take them all in one fell swoop. But when we rob your Land of Fire, Konoha will proceed step by step, just scrambling for a little money."

Then Qingcheng shrugged at Tsunade and said with a serious face, "I don't know? I was fighting the Tailed Beast the whole time. How would I know where they went? Besides, I'm the Hokage. I'm not their babysitter. Why should I be watching over them? Is that a reasonable request?"

Looking at Qingcheng's unyielding attitude, Tsunade said sternly, "You've once again allowed Konoha Ninja to violate the Three Ninja Prohibitions. You greedy bastard."

Looking at Tsunade's serious expression, Qingcheng thought to himself, "Is she angry because she didn't catch up with the gang of thieves? Or is her saintly heart acting up again, wanting to experience what it's like to be Hokage?"

Qingcheng pointed to the right and said directly to Tsunade, "Hayakumo Sōma and the others went over there. They must have gone to investigate the Stone Ninja forces! The Stone Ninja left behind a lot of supplies, including Explosive Tag and Chakra Bomb specially made by the ninja village. If you go there now, you might run into them. Knowing Hayakumo Sōma's personality, if he sees you, Lady Tsunade, he'll give you a big reward."

After saying that, Qingcheng shook his head, then smiled at Tsunade, indicating that Hayakumo Sōma; they must have gone to chase after the fleeing Stone Ninja.

Tsunade looked at the grinning Qingcheng, her expression hardening again. She then said, "I'm not here to split the money with you. I just want to tell you that in just a few days, you've attacked two major powers. If word gets out, Konoha's reputation in the Shinobi World will be completely ruined."

Seeing Tsunade's hesitation, Qingcheng waved his hand and said seriously, "If anyone dares to talk about it, I'll start a war with them, attack them all, and incidentally improve Konoha's strength. That way, everyone will be fair and just, and no country will have any objections in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes widened, and she said with a serious expression, "So whoever raised the question and made things difficult for us, Konoha will deal with the person who raised the question!"

Seeing that Tsunade seemed to understand, Qingcheng said with an appreciative look, "You're right. As long as we don't follow the Three Ninja Prohibitions, there's nothing that Konoha Ninja can't do."

Qingcheng further emphasized, "These Konoha Ninja who disregard the Three Ninja Prohibitions can be placed in the Black Pot Department next time. It doesn't matter if their reputation is ruined; they can be cleaned up later, and those who are still usable can continue to be the backbone of Konoha."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's twisted logic, Tsunade slapped her thigh hard and said with an embarrassed expression, "Your twisted logic is simply inhuman. Allowing your subordinates to rob money will eventually lead to a tiger turning into a scourge, and may even create hidden dangers for Konoha."

Looking at Tsunade's serious face, Qingcheng smiled and said, "What hidden danger? It's just that those ninjas are living too well, experiencing the thrill of driving up the speed, and then they start to degenerate and even get devoured by money, right!"

After saying that, Qingcheng put on a serious expression again and waved his hand, signaling Tsunade to come closer to listen.

Tsunade looked at Qingcheng's gesture, reluctantly leaned her head closer, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you want to say?"

Qingcheng said softly, "You've surpassed Tsunade, the Junin. I am the Fifth Hokage. This is not your concern. If you want to join the Fat Water Squad' next time, you'd better act faster. Don't be so slow, or you won't even get a chance to drink the soup."

Before Qingcheng could finish speaking, he saw Ichiji's pale fist aimed directly at his cheek, and he saw Tsunade use her Chakra Enhanced Strength.

Qingcheng immediately activated his Chakra Enhanced Palm, blocking Tsunade's Tsunade and then grabbing it.

Qingcheng said with a serious face, "I knew you'd be furious when I found you, didn't I? You want to join the Fat Water Squad,' but you don't know how to use underhanded methods, so you want someone to guide you, and you even want to monopolize the Fat Water Squad's' achievements. Isn't that what Loss-Resistant King?"

Tsunade flew into a rage, angrily shouting, "You're slandering me! I'm not that kind of person! I'm keeping an eye on you! You're the Hokage of Konoha! Allowing your subordinates to rob people everywhere is setting a bad example for Konoha!"

Looking at the still furious Tsunade, Qingcheng smiled and said, "The day before yesterday! In that grove of trees, I don't know who it was, sticking out their butt and saying, 'Take me to do some shady stuff too! Do you want case studies or resumes? I have all of those.'"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade blushed instantly, staring at all the Konoha Ninja who were staring at her in utter bewilderment, even Kakashi looked completely stunned.

For the first time, Tsunade felt humiliated, and said with a shy expression, "You just wait! How dare you slander me! I'll fight you to the death! I'll stage a coup!"

Immediately, some Konoha Ninja shouted directly to the Hokage, "Hokage -sama, I want to go too! I've done this before!" Others shouted, "Hokage - Konoha Ninja, count me in! I've mastered the ultimate Side-Hustle Method; those I rob won't even leave with a pair of underwear!"

Looking at the Konoha Ninja, who all seemed eager to try their luck, Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Don't make a scene there. I have only three requirements: first, you can't take anyone's life; second, you can't bully civilians; and third, you can't do this around Konoha. After all, even a rabbit can't eat the grass near its burrow."
