A Shadow Clone can sense its original, but the original only knows what the Shadow Clone did after it dissipates, as its memories and fatigue return to the original along with its Chakra."
So Qingcheng had no idea that the Shadow Clone he left in Konoha had gone completely berserk.
That Shadow Clone had pushed Danzo to his absolute limits, mercilessly hammering and trampling him in front of everyone.
Shimura Danzo's dream was shattered; his Hokage ambition had utterly collapsed, turning him into a pariah, someone everyone wanted to denounce.
Meanwhile, Qingcheng was still at a guesthouse in the Land of Hot Water. Just as he was about to leave, Tsunade grabbed him again, leaving him on the verge of tears.
Tsunade's eyes were bloodshot. She clutched her own neck with one hand, glaring down at Qingcheng with an enraged expression, and roared, "This is all your doing! How dare you use Genjutsu to deceive my eyes and impersonate Kato Dan!"
Tsunade continued to curse, "It's unforgivable, you scoundrel! Just die!"
With that, Tsunade tightened her grip. Her left fist began to crackle, preparing to deliver a punch to Qingcheng's face.
Qingcheng watched the furious Tsunade, her right hand gripping his neck like a pair of pliers, lifting him into the air like a small chick.
Seeing Tsunade about to finish him off with a single Chakra Enhanced Strength punch, Qingcheng said in a panicked voice, "It's really not me! Not—! Kato Dan did it too! Listen to me!"
Tsunade grabbed Qingcheng's right hand and said furiously, "Still trying to escape with a Substitution Jutsu? The last scoundrel who tried that on me got punched to death. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Qingcheng's face was filled with pain. Tsunade's grip on his neck made it hard to breathe. He said in a terrified voice, "I can compensate you with money, or with my youth!"
Qingcheng then said in a flustered tone, "Please don't kill me, or else the world will lose someone who loves you!"
Tsunade saw Qingcheng's eyes rolling back, but then she remembered how this guy had taken advantage of her fear of blood, even bringing out an enema, and impersonating Dan with Genjutsu.
Then Tsunade cursed angrily, "What you did to me is unforgivable! I'll never let you off the hook in this life!"
Qingcheng watched Tsunade's fist head straight for his forehead. He realized that if this punch landed, he would surely die here. He absolutely couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Qingcheng immediately activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. His crimson eyes spun, and a yellow Susanoo skeleton instantly enveloped him.
Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength punch landed hard on the Susanoo skeleton. With a thunderous crash, the Susanoo skeleton was shattered by the punch, and Qingcheng, along with the Susanoo skeleton, was sent flying backward.
The guesthouse wall was shattered by the Susanoo skeleton, and Qingcheng fell directly onto the street. The Susanoo skeleton was completely fragmented.
Qingcheng immediately got up from the ground, saying with lingering fear, "Damn it, my Susanoo is shattered! I got hit by Rozan Super Strength!"
Tsunade leaped down from the third floor, landing directly in front of Qingcheng. The Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead was activated.
Tsunade glared fiercely at Qingcheng again, her eyes filled with killing intent. She said angrily, "You scoundrel, you even activated your Mangekyo Sharingan! Is that why you're so confident?"
Qingcheng immediately shook his head and said earnestly, "Kato Dan did it too! Besides, you were the one who coveted my money first! You even called me an evil Uchiha, so I'll show you evil!"
Tsunade looked at the glib Qingcheng and shouted furiously, "I'll kill you to quell the hatred in my heart!"
Seeing Tsunade preparing to attack again, Qingcheng quickly said, "Stop for a moment! I told you, Kato Dan did it too! Think back yourself."
Qingcheng then said resentfully, "You just said you couldn't live without me, and now you want to kill me? How can you be so fickle?"
Tsunade instantly froze, then said seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that?"
Qingcheng said earnestly, "I asked you, 'What if I'm not Dan, would you still like me?' And you said yourself, 'As long as you're like Dan, it's fine.'"
Qingcheng then emphasized, "That's why I lifted the Genjutsu, so you could see an Uchiha who's like Dan. If you don't like it, we can go our separate ways from now on, and everything that happened before is forgotten."
Tsunade instantly understood. Her face showed anger, unwillingness, disgust, and a hint of relief. Then she roared, "Get out! Don't you ever show your face in front of me again!"
Qingcheng threw a storage scroll down and said, "These are all for you. After all, we're under the same sky, breathing the same air. I don't think I'll be able to fall in love with another woman after this."
For these three days, Qingcheng wasn't just grinding the system. He used memory Genjutsu to combine his and Dan's images, directly implanting them into Tsunade's mind. I am the youthful version of Kato Dan.
As for whether he would live in Dan's shadow, Qingcheng stated, "As long as I can get the Sage Body, I don't care who I live as. Even if I live as Jiraiya, that's fine."
Tsunade watched Qingcheng leave, feeling a pang in her heart. Then something else occurred to her, and she said, "What's your name, anyway? I still don't know."
Qingcheng waved his hand and said seriously, "An evil Uchiha brat. You can also continue to call me Dan."
Qingcheng then added, "Or you can call me 'Zao.' Whatever you like, really."
Tsunade watched Qingcheng leave, then clenched her fists, saying furiously, "I actually formed a bond with that pervert! Why didn't I punch him to death just now?"
Then Tsunade continued, "But he looks just like Dan, so handsome! I just couldn't bring myself to do it."
Then Tsunade saw the storage scroll on the ground and instantly realized something. Her face filled with a smile as she said, "Is this all money? This evil brat actually has a bit of a conscience."
This money was what Qingcheng won at the casino, about 300 million, plus some he stole from the Shimura Clan, totaling 2.3 billion. Enough for this Big Fat Sheep to gamble for a long time.
Tsunade opened the storage scroll and saw the huge pile of money inside. Her face immediately lit up with joy, and she said with a smile, "If I'd known there was so much money, hanging out with him wouldn't have been so bad. Who could blame me when he's as handsome as Dan?"
Then Tsunade suddenly came to her senses and said angrily, "Who knows what this scoundrel ate to grow up like this? He doesn't know how to rest and even gave me an enema! The next time I see him, I'm definitely going to punch him to death!"
Meanwhile, back in Konoha, in the Hokage's Office, Danzo was surrounded by Anbu ninja. Even with his Sharingan, facing so many Anbu ninja, he instantly felt out of his depth and didn't dare to use his Sharingan at all.
He could only watch the Third Hokage, hoping the Third Hokage would change his mind and continue to resist the Uchiha Clan.
