Take Tsunade With You Instead!

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Shouhon Yihan, Hayakumo Sōma, Kumo-ma, and Senju Taoyuan, along with the members of the Flying Thunder God Squad, will come with me to the Land of Rain to uproot this Amegakure. Most importantly, we must kill Uchiha Obito, kill Uchiha Itachi, and those Akatsuki members! Don't let a single one escape."

Shouhon Yihan and the others immediately knelt on one knee and solemnly declared, "Your subordinates understand. This time, we will definitely lay a trap to ensure that Uchiha Obito and the others have no chance of escape."

Seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of these valiant generals, Qingcheng was secretly delighted and said with great appreciation, "This time, our Konoha will launch a blitzkrieg against them. The first battle will be the decisive one, and the outcome will be decided in one fell swoop."

Shouhon Yihan, Hayakumo Sōma, Kumo-ma, Senju Taoyuan, and Genma Shiranui, upon hearing the Hokage's domineering declaration, all respectfully shouted, "Long live the Hokage! The Hokage will surely win! The Hokage is invincible!"

Kakashi, seeing the formidable Qingcheng, felt reassured and thought to himself, "Victory will surely belong to our Konoha. Konoha will become the true overlord, even the ruler of the Shinobi World."

The current Konoha is full of warmongering fanatics from top to bottom. There is no peace treaty. If you are not convinced, I will come and fight you until you are afraid, until you are defeated and flee in disarray.

Therefore, Qingcheng was also known in the Shinobi World as the village chief of the bandit village, a bandit leader who would start a war at the slightest provocation, and who would also steal Ninjutsu, female ninjas with Kekkei Genkai, and Ryo from other ninja villages. Anything of value would be taken by Konoha, and the villages that were attacked would not be able to recover for decades.

Some ninja villages even planned to form a ninja alliance to jointly resist Konoha's tyranny. However, this only benefited the Konoha Ninja. It was like robbing the whole Konoha.

Therefore, those ninja villages ultimately had no choice but to acknowledge Konoha as their superior, call Uchiha Qingcheng adoptive father, and become Konoha's lackeys.

Immediately afterward, Qingcheng, with a serious expression, said directly to Mitokado Homura, "Elder Homura, speed is of the essence in war. I've decided to set off now and fly directly to Amegakure. If Teuchi mahjong game and comes to the Hokage Building to find me, tell her that the Land of Rain has rebelled and is attacking the Land of Fire. I'm going to Land of Fire, and I won't be home tonight. Tell her to hold on with eggplants for now."

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura was utterly stunned, his brows furrowing in shock. He exclaimed, "Hokage -sama, I truly dare not say such a thing. I'm afraid that Tsunade will unleash a devastating attack on me. I'm almost seventy years old; if I were Chakra Enhanced Strength, I'd die inside the Hokage Building!"

Then, Mitokado Homura looked at Utatane Koharu and said with a smile, "My dear? You and Tsunade are both women, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to tell her?"

Utatane Koharu was also terrified of the enraged Tsunade. Hearing Homura's words, she shrank back and said with a look of extreme fear, "Homura, you old bastard! You used to say you would always protect me, and that's why I agreed to be with you. But you're making me face the enraged Tsunade. Don't you feel any remorse for doing this?"

In the past, when Qingcheng didn't want to go home, he would send Anbu Ninja to tell Tsunade, "The Hokage won't be coming home tonight; he'll be working at the Hokage Building. The Hokage wants you to survive all day on cucumbers."

However, if Tsunade saw that Uchiha Qingcheng hadn't returned by 11 PM, she would leave promptly and go to the Hokage Building to look for Qingcheng. If she couldn't find Uchiha Qingcheng in the Hokage's Office, she would attack Mitokado Homura, Kakashi, and the others, breaking three or four of the Hokage's desks and replacing the window glass three or four times.

Mitokado Homura was hit the most. A single, seemingly light Chakra Enhanced Strength from Tsunade Mitokado Homura enough to make him see stars, bleed profusely, and lie trembling on the ground.

On two separate occasions, Mitokado Homura flew from his second-floor office in the Hokage Building to the front yard on the first floor, even Mitokado Homura a window as he flew out.

Tsunade would point at Kakashi's nose and yell, "You're all covering for the inherently Evil Uchiha! You're all a bunch of evil bastards! I'll send you all to hell!"

Then Tsunade would clench her fist, and her fist would make a crackling sound, like a blender, so you can imagine how powerful that punch was."

Kakashi, seeing Tsunade's anger, was terrified. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked completely panicked. Because of Mitokado Homura's example, Kakashi had no idea what would happen to him if he threw that punch.

The current Tsunade has already trained in Senjutsu in Shikkotsu Forest, increasing her strength several times over. If she were to Teuchi, no one in Konoha could stop her. Aside from the Hokage, no one dared to take Tsunade's punches. Therefore, Kakashi would directly betray Qingcheng, informing Tsunade of Qingcheng's whereabouts and letting Tsunade go find Qingcheng herself.

Qingcheng usually stays in Konoha. When he has free time, he'll go see his little apprentice, Yamanaka Ino, or perhaps Samui.

However, when Qingcheng heard that Tsunade had come, he immediately got up, not daring to linger outside for even a moment longer. At this time, Mitokado Homura was probably already passed out, and in the Hokage's Office, only Utatane Koharu might not have been Teuchi Tsunade yet.

Because Utatane Koharu is an old woman, Tsunade doesn't like to hit women, especially older ones. So Utatane Koharu has never been punched by Tsunade, but it's not much better. Since Tsunade is fair in her Utatane Koharu a few over-the-shoulder throws, and even broke her Tsunade by stepping on it.

All the Konoha High Command officials were drenched in cold sweat and looked utterly astonished when they heard Qingcheng say he wouldn't be going home that night.

Just then, Shouhon Yihan had another idea. She said with a serious expression, "Hokage, why don't you use the Shadow Clone Jutsu? Lady Tsunade likes you when you're strong and fit. If you can leave behind a group of Shadow Clone, I believe Lady Tsunade will be very happy."

Upon hearing Shouhon Yihan's words, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu both replied with serious expressions, "Yes, yes, yes, leaving behind a group of Shadow Clone, I believe Tsunade definitely won't cause you any trouble."

Qingcheng shook his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "I already tried it last time. After Tsunade grabs me, she uses her Perception Technique. If it's not my real body, she'll crush it in one go."

Then Qingcheng thought for a moment, glanced at Mitokado Homura, and said with a serious expression, "Let's take her with us. We'll spare your and Utatane Koharu's lives."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Mitokado Homura's face lit up with joy. He exclaimed excitedly, "Hokage -sama, you're so kind to your subordinate! I congratulate you on Hokage triumphant return!"

Utatane Koharu also said excitedly, "Same here, same here! Elder Homura said the same thing: I wish you all a speedy return! We'll be waiting for you in Konoha!"
