Chapter 147 » I've Been Fighting for So Many Years—Can't I Just Enjoy Myself for a While?
The news sent shockwaves through the entire ninja world.
Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and the Land of Iron — three major nations, with the latter primarily relying on samurai — had dissolved their alliance at this critical juncture!
"Did they chicken out?" This question echoed in the minds of ninjas and civilians alike across the ninja world. And the answer was a resounding yes!
Indeed, it was the case. Faced with certain defeat, they had no choice but to sue for peace.

Konoha. In the Hokage's office.
Tsunade stared in astonishment at three letters in her hand. These had arrived overnight from the Sand Village, Rock Village, and the Land of Iron.
The letters' contents were concise and clear.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi was no longer Konohagakure's Hokage, the alliance treaty they had previously agreed upon was now dissolved. There would no longer be a ninja world alliance.
"How could this happen..." Tsunade muttered in disbelief, taking a deep breath.
She had expected the other side to persist longer, given the formidable combined strength of their three forces. At the very least, they could have followed Kiri's example and rampaged the Land of Lightning.
Yusuke, seated in the chair with Tsunade kneeling at his feet, gently pinched her arm.
"Let me see those letters."
Feeling his gesture, she let out a soft moan and increased her movements. She wanted to test his resolve.
Even Yusuke couldn't help but widen his eyes. This woman had skill!
He examined the letters from Suna, Iwa, and the Land of Iron on the desk, while guiding her with a hand in her hair.
Tsunade clicked her tongue, then said haltingly, "Well... in that case... you don't have to... wage war against them... anymore..."
"Wage war? That's no fun at all." Yusuke set down the letters, a thoughtful expression on his face. He shook his head, "It's a pity. These three forces have proposed compensation in these letters, but they think this small offering can brush me off? They're daydreaming."
After hearing his words, Tsunade stopped her actions and raised her head, looking into his blue eyes.
"The compensation they've proposed… Gurl Gurl—" She choked momentarily as he suddenly pushed her head down, causing her to glare fiercely at him. Pouting, she continued, "These three parties have proposed compensation as high as 30%. This is the highest material compensation in the history of ninja world wars. And… Gurl Gurl—"
Tsunade's eyes widened once again! She immediately stood up, rubbing her cheeks that were already starting to feel sore.
"You! Let me finish speaking!"
Feeling her glare, Yusuke clicked his tongue and said, "Please continue."
"You should know." She took a deep breath, "Previously, at the end of great wars, compensation from both sides was at most 10%. Moreover, this time, you haven't even started fighting them. They've already taken the initiative to seek peace. We're essentially getting all these resources for free! Why not take advantage of it?"
After listening, Yusuke smiled lightly. "Finished speaking?"
"Yeah..." She blinked.
"Then you may continue." He gestured with a smile.
"Hmph..."
Though Tsunade seemed somewhat unwilling, her body was still honest. She knelt down again and resumed her oral ministrations.
"30% of resources? They think they can brush me off with that? They're dreaming! And it's a daydream at that!" Yusuke exerted force vigorously.
As if irritated and needing to vent, he took full advantage of the Legendary Sucker before him, intensifying her movements. Remarkably, she endured it all.
Tsunade could only glare at him angrily as she was forced to swallow both his actions and the viscous liquid now sliding down her throat.
A few minutes later.
She smacked her lips, a hint of aftertaste in her voice as she asked, "So, what's your plan? Continue waging war? Didn't you just say that wasn't interesting?"
"Indeed, waging war isn't interesting;" Yusuke said with a light smile, "I've made up my mind. After resting in Konoha for a while longer, I'll personally visit each of these three. Then, I'll make them carefully reconsider their words."
Hearing this, Tsunade asked curiously, "Why not go confront them now?"
He extended his right hand, raising his index finger, "First, if I respond to them now, it would signal that I no longer want to wage war. They'd settle down. Even knowing they'd pay more in reparations, they'd reluctantly agree. At the very least, they wouldn't have to worry about their lives or their villages anymore. As for me — do you think I'm the type to let them off so easily?"
Yusuke smiled as he looked at her. Tsunade had already donned the Hokage robe and was adjusting her collar.
"You certainly are not!" She turned her head back, glaring fiercely at him.
He hadn't let her off! That irritating man!
"So, you're deliberately keeping them under constant pressure?" She returned to his side, pondering thoughtfully.
"That's just the first reason." Yusuke said with a faint smile, "Second..."
He paused, looking at the charming Tsunade standing before him. Then, he curled his lips into a smile.
"I've said it before. During this time, I want to have a good rest in Konoha. I've been fighting for so many years. Can't I just enjoy myself for a while?"
Tsunade pouted slightly, then chose to give up. She let out a coy hum, momentarily at a loss for words.
Yusuke glanced at the sky outside the window.
"It's still early. Let's continue the music, continue the dance."
Hearing this, her eyes widened in disbelief!
Is he even human?
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
Meanwhile, people throughout the entire ninja world were constantly discussing this topic.
Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and the Land of Iron — all ninja alliances collapsed in an instant! Facing Yusuke Kamizuki, they didn't even have the courage to fight!
From this point on, it seemed that no force in the entire ninja world could contend with him anymore!

The Land of Rain.
Endless curtains of rain still fell!
This was the Rain Tiger at Will Technique cast by the Deva Pain. Through this technique, he could constantly monitor all abnormal chakra entering his domain.
Because of this, the entire Land of Rain had achieved relative stability and peace during this period. Out of 365 days a year, it rained for at least 350. The people of the Land of Rain knew this rain was protecting them.
On the top floor of the Akatsuki organization's headquarters, in the conference hall.
"The Eight-Tails was really hard to capture. But fortunately, we got it." Obito said, flexing his body under the mask.
At this moment, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer B, had been completely subdued by his Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu and was lying quietly in his Kamui dimension.
"Wait a moment. We'll start sealing the Eight-Tails immediately."
After Obito finished speaking, Pain, seated at the head, slowly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Madara, although I hate to admit it, the possibility of us collecting all the Tailed Beasts is no longer there."
Konan, standing to the side, nodded lightly in agreement.
"Now, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki and the Three-Tails Jinchūriki are all in Kirigakure. As for the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, although we've had Black Zetsu find some clues — it might be Kushina Uzumaki by Yusuke Kamizuki's side — they are all his people. Can our capture operation still be carried out successfully?" She said expressionlessly.
If the mission couldn't continue, then she and Nagato would naturally choose to stop cooperating with this man who claimed to be "Madara Uchiha"!
Hearing this, Obito's expression beneath the mask turned grim.
Though reluctant to admit it, he knew Konan and Pain had raised a significant issue. Could it be that they'd have to resort to that drastic measure?
According to that man's plan... to resurrect him?
