Compensation Is Possible

Looking at the Hokage's confident Hokage, Pakura said in a panic, "Hokage -sama, what do you want from our Hidden Sand Village? I can tell the Hidden Sand Village's higher-ups and have them meet your conditions. I just beg you, please don't start a war, please!"

Qingcheng watched Pakura deliberately flaunting her figure, wearing a low-cut black dress that exposed her smooth back, and constantly bowing and scraping, clearly trying to give him a glimpse of what was going on.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "Luckily, I've seen a lot from Tsunade. Even though Pakura's breasts are large and excellent, compared to Tsunade's, if Pakura Tsunade at most a diamond, no more."

Qingcheng glanced at it again, and thought to himself with certainty, "Pakura, your conscience is excellent, even perfect, but you are still somewhat behind Tsunade. I don't know if you have room for improvement in the future. At this level, Samui."

Immediately afterward, Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Since you've given me this benefit, I'll just keep it simple. First, the Hidden Sand Village must provide those S-rank Ninjutsu, One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique. Second, you need 5 billion Silver Coin. If you can't come up with that, you can use Gold Dust as payment."

Upon hearing these demands, Pakura couldn't help but gape, then covered her mouth with her hand, exclaiming in shock, "Hokage, your demands are practically robbery! Our Hidden Sand Village can't possibly afford such a sum of money!"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng laughed heartily and said sternly, "We were robbers to begin with, but you insisted on saying we were here for revenge."

Pakura looked at Qingcheng Cheng's imposing aura and the ambiguous, both righteous and wicked, presence about him, which made it impossible for her to fathom his character.

Finally, Pakura had no choice but to say, "Our Hidden Sand Village may not be as strong as you, Konoha is powerful, but aren't you afraid of ruining Konoha's reputation by bullying us like this?"

Qingcheng shook his head immediately, then said excitedly, "That's great! Anyone who dares to criticize me, I'll lead the Konoha Ninja to raid their homes! This kind of opportunity delivered to our doorstep is a godsend, hahaha!"

Looking at the arrogant, ruthless, and greedy Qingcheng, Pakura's face was filled with helplessness. He frowned and said in a panic, "If the compensation could be less, our Hidden Sand Village could accept it. Being strong doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

Qingcheng laughed heartily and said excitedly, "With great strength, you can do whatever you want! This money is the minimum I asked for, and you must hand over this S-rank Ninjutsu, or we'll attack immediately. You don't want the Hidden Sand Village to be destroyed, do you?"

Pakura's heart skipped a beat when he saw Qingcheng's stern expression. He then said with a serious face, "I will immediately inform the higher-ups of the Hidden Sand Village. I hope they can make a decision as soon as possible! I don't want Ninja World War to break out."

Just then, Pakura asked again, "If I sell myself to your Konoha, how much money can I get in return?"

Without even thinking, Qingcheng blurted out, "Two billion Ryo. If you want to improve a bit more, we can increase it to three billion Ryo. What do you think?"

After saying that, Pakura sighed again, took out a scroll from his pocket, and began to form hand Hand Seals. He then pressed his right hand to the ground and shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"

With a bang, a puff of white smoke flashed, and a Ninja Falcon appeared on the ground. Pakura then took out paper and a pen from the scroll, quickly wrote a few words, placed them on the Ninja Falcon's lap, and said to the Ninja Falcon, "Deliver the information to the village."

The yellow Ninja Falcon that Pakura summoned immediately spread its wings, let out a few howls, and flew towards the Hidden Sand Village.

Pakura then said with a serious Qingcheng, "Hokage, according to what you said, two billion Silver Coin, plus S-rank Ninjutsu, the One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique, can stop the war, and your Konoha will also re-sign a peace treaty with the Hidden Sand Village, right?"

Qingcheng originally came for the S-rank Ninjutsu, the One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique. The 5 billion Ryo was just a spur-of-the-moment addition. The One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique can revive the Uchiha Clan, and even Danzo —what a comfortable situation that would be!"

But Qingcheng sensed from Pakura's tone that she wanted to go to Konoha with him. Was she heartbroken in the desert village?

Then, Qingcheng asked with a puzzled look, "Pakura, are you planning to join our Konoha? If you are willing to join, I, the Hokage, can add a little more. How about 5 billion Ryo?"

Qingcheng originally quite liked Pakura; this woman had a lot of backbone. However, her fate in the Hidden Sand Village was to be sold around by Rasa, and her death was indeed a pity.

Qingcheng thought to herself, "A woman's good looks are a plus, but if she has backbone, she absolutely deserves respect."

So Qingcheng decided to give Pakura a chance to live. If he followed him, at least he wouldn't be riddled with bullets. Pakura's smooth, delicate back was ultimately turned into a hedgehog Shuriken; it was just too cruel."

Upon hearing this, Pakura immediately nodded, then said with a serious expression, "I have a little apprentice named Juan, and I would like to take her with me to Konoha. Is that alright, Hokage -sama?"

Qingcheng nodded directly, smiling, and said, "Sure, sure. Our Konoha really likes excellent ninjas like you. How about we give you the position of Konoha Senior Secret Technique Head?"

Upon hearing this, Pakura's face showed surprise again. She asked in astonishment, "Is this really okay? As a newcomer, won't I be targeted in Konoha?"

Qingcheng looked at the extremely uneasy Pakura, shook his head, and said seriously, "Who would target you for no reason? Just do what you're supposed to do."

Seeing the Hokage making such a promise, Pakura pleaded, "I still hope that Hokage- sama can sign a peace treaty with Hidden Sand Village. Although I dislike those power-hungry high-ranking officials, the ordinary ninjas of Hidden Sand Village are very peace-loving."

Qingcheng, seeing Pakura still talking incessantly, waved his hand dismissively, interrupting Pakura's words, and said seriously, "Isn't it just a peace treaty? That's not difficult. Do you have any case studies? To join our Konoha, you won't get anywhere without one or two."

Pakura asked with a surprised look, "What kind of case? If it's about fighting other ninja villages, then I already have many cases like that."

Qingcheng shook his head and said seriously, "It's not this case. I'm talking about whether you've ever stolen anything from other ninja villages. If that's not possible, medical records will do."

Pakura?! What medical record?

Qingcheng looked at the innocent-looking Pakura and said sternly, "It's one thing if you don't know, but you don't even know a simple joke. How can you be one of my villagers?"

Yamato immediately explained to Pakura, "In Konoha, we can do whatever we want. If we haven't raided other ninja villages, we're embarrassed to call ourselves Konoha."

Pakura looked surprised. "Is it really possible to do whatever one wants?"

Qingcheng thought for a moment, then said to Kakashi, "You guys continue barbecuing and dancing. I'm taking this little girl to the Hidden Sand Village to get some things. I'll be right back."

Having said that, Qingcheng extended his right hand and said to Pakura, "Grab my hand, and I'll take you to the Hidden Sand Village to achieve some results."

Pakura asked in surprise, "Is this really okay?"
