Chapter 81 » Yusuke: I Envy That Droplet! Tsunade: Stay Calm, Don't Get Carried Away!

Kumogakure. Inside the Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage listened intently as his subordinate reported on the latest developments in Konoha's war situation.

"Lord Raikage, I regret to inform you that Konohagakure has suffered a total defeat." Darui said, his head bowed and teeth gritted, "Kirigakure has demanded three full years' worth of harvested resources as compensation. The Leaf Village has completely lost its ability to wage war against Kiri."

This intelligence was undoubtedly grave for Kumo.

Although the defeated nation wasn't their Cloud Village, they couldn't forget that when the war between Konoha and Kiri was at its most intense, the Raikage had confidently ordered Darui to lead a force of six thousand ninja. They had brazenly launched a surprise attack on the Mist Village!

However, they hadn't anticipated that their grand surprise attack would ultimately result in Yusuke single-handedly wiping out over four thousand of their ninja!

It wasn't just a major defeat — it was a crushing one!

"Damn the Leaf! Damn the Mist! To hell with them!" A roared, "Let them keep tearing at each other! From now on, we won't get involved in their conflicts."

Darui, who had finished his report, suddenly shuddered. In a low voice, he asked, "Lord Raikage... shouldn't we go after Yusuke Kamizuki? After all, we lost over four thousand ninja at his hands."

Hearing this, A immediately furrowed his brow.

"This matter is not urgent!" He declared, "The Mist Village has just received a boost in resources, and it wouldn't be wise for us to confront them in the short term. When the time is right, I'll deal with him myself. Alright, Darui, you may go now."

After saying this, the Raikage waved his hand, dismissing Darui from the room.

Once Darui left, Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, and Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, emerged from the back of the room.

"Yo, bro! Is this Yusuke dude really such a tough cookie to crumble?" Killer B rapped, raising an eyebrow.

He had never seen his brother back down before. But now, his brother's actions made him sense something was off.

"It's not that he's difficult to deal with... he's extremely difficult to deal with!" A looked at Killer B, then shook his head and said, "He single-handedly killed over four thousand of our ninja. How weak could he possibly be? He's already comparable to a walking Tailed Beast..."

The Raikage wasn't afraid of Yusuke.

After all, there are two Tailed Beasts in Kumogakure! Yugito Nii has the Two-Tails inside her, and she can fully control it. Killer B has the Eight-Tails inside him, and he can also fully control it!

The combined fighting power of these two is formidable. In fact, if Killer B alone were to release the Eight-Tails from within himself, with a bit of effort, he could also cause thousands of deaths on the battlefield!

Therefore, A has estimated Yusuke's combat ability to be comparable to a Tailed Beast.

"Please rest assured, my lords. Although the village has suffered some losses at present, we, the Cloud Village, will definitely find an opportunity to avenge this grudge." Mabui said softly.

"Hmm." Killer B and Yugito Nii nodded.

Then, they left the room. Since their last summons by the Fourth Raikage, they had been assigned to patrol the village.

"Sigh... Let's wait a few days for Konoha to catch their breath. Then we'll send someone to question them about their false intelligence. If we hadn't believed their incorrect information, we wouldn't have misjudged Yusuke Kamizuki's strength! At least half of these lost lives should be counted on their head!"

"Yes!" Mabui immediately set about recording this matter.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

Meanwhile, at the gates of Kumogakure.

Yusuke arrived with Kisame and Mangetsu in tow, Tsunade trailing behind them. He had made no effort to conceal their approach.

Kisame, the Samehada slung over his shoulder, strode fiercely towards the Cloud Village's gates. Seeing the towering, tightly shut entrance, he flashed a predatory grin.

"Hey, Kumogakure! Open up! Kirigakure's ANBU Captain, Lord Yusuke, is here to pay you a visit!" Kisame's booming voice sent shivers down the spines of the Kumo ninja atop the walls.

As they caught sight of the group below, terror gripped their hearts.

"It's Yusuke Kamizuki! Kirigakure's Yusuke Kamizuki is here!" "His subordinates too! What do we do?" "Quick! Alert Lord Raikage!" "Right away!"

Chaos erupted along the wall.

In recent days, news of over four thousand ninja perishing in battle had been suppressed by the Raikage, but it hadn't gone unnoticed. The two thousand or so returning ninja weren't fools — they'd pieced things together.

A creeping sense of dread had been spreading through Kumogakure, though everyone had kept their suspicions to themselves. But the truth couldn't stay hidden forever. After all, over six thousand Kumo ninja had marched proudly from the village towards the Land of Water border.

Now, only two thousand had returned. What of the other four thousand? Anyone with half a brain could see something catastrophic had occurred.

Kisame, growing impatient at the lack of response, felt his anger rising.

Bang——!! 

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kisame violently swung the Samehada, directly smashing the gates of the Cloud Village! In an instant, wooden doors and stone debris flew everywhere!

"Kisame, well done." Yusuke said with an approving smile.

"Hehehe... Thank you for your praise, Lord Yusuke!" Kisame chuckled.

He swung the Samehada again, completely demolishing the entire gate of Kumogakure!

Yusuke smiled leisurely and walked towards the village.

The Cloud Village was vast and resource-rich, shrouded in clouds and mist. Mountains upon mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, with towering peaks reaching into the clouds — over a dozen visible at a glance. And this was just the entrance.

"Kumo is quite a nice place." Yusuke remarked admiringly, "When we have time in the future, let's turn this into our territory. What do you think?"

The scenery was indeed beautiful, including the people of Kumo. Those towering peaks reaching into the clouds meant living there would be like dwelling among the clouds every day. Presumably, it could unlock many new possibilities.

"Hahaha! Lord Yusuke! That's a great idea!" Kisame burst into uninhibited laughter. Even Mangetsu beside him started laughing.

They knew that since he had said this, it meant that in the near future, the entire Cloud Village would truly grovel at the feet of the Mist Village! Yusuke always kept his word — a fact they had witnessed many times with their own eyes!

"Hey... Yusuke Kamizuki? Have you gone mad? Actually wanting to turn the Cloud Village into your terr—Ah!!" Tsunade glared, already feeling the angry gazes of the residents around them.

Before she could finish speaking, a strong electric current suddenly surged from the collar on her neck, almost making her body go limp.

"Remember this: when speaking to me, you must add the word 'Master.'" Yusuke said with a smile.

For someone like her, he didn't feel very inclined to control and manipulate through pain, but Tsunade could be extraordinarily annoying when she wanted to be — a chatterbox that wouldn't shut up. So this made it easier when it came time for punishment.

"You...!!" She gritted her teeth, somewhat frantic!

Tsunade swallowed her words, forcing them back down her throat.

"Impressive." Yusuke said, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "A woman with your fiery temper, actually able to swallow when something is already in your mouth. Remarkable, truly remarkable." His words carried an obvious double meaning.

"You —!" Tsunade desperately wanted to unleash a torrent of curses.

But she refused to call him "Master." That single word was too humiliating. How could a strong-willed woman like her possibly utter such a thing?

"Don't hold back. It's bad for your health" Yusuke said with a smirk.

Veins bulged on Tsunade's forehead. Her fists clenched with an audible crack. She slammed one fist into the wall beside Kumo's gate.

Bang!

The incredibly thick stone pillar crumbled under her blow.

Yusuke clicked his tongue. He'd set Tsunade's collar to prevent her from attacking him directly, but allowed her some self-defense capability. He didn't want to be distracted when they inevitably clashed with the Raikage. Of course, he'd reset the collar to its normal state after leaving the village.

"What a waste of that impressive fist." Yusuke remarked, eyeing her clenched hand. That grip strength could easily crush a skull.

"Hmph." Tsunade snorted, waving her fist at him menacingly.

She'd realized that single-word responses didn't trigger the collar's punishment for omitting "Master."

Yusuke shrugged at her seething expression. Let her fume all she wanted, as long as it didn't interfere with his true purpose here.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

The commotion was immediately reported to the Raikage.

"Lord Raikage! Yusuke Kamizuki — he's here!" The Kumo ninja burst into the Raikage's office, stumbling over his words.

"What?!" A's pupils contracted sharply, "That Yusuke Kamizuki dares to come to our Cloud Village?! How did he arrive? How many people did he bring? Could he be planning to start a war?!"

The Raikage slammed the table and demanded answers furiously.

"He — he came with three subordinates." The reporting ninja said hurriedly.

"Three subordinates?" A's brows furrowed deeply.

Did Yusuke think he could come and go as he pleased in Kumogakure with just three subordinates?

"Yes!" The reporting ninja quickly added, "Moreover, they've already smashed our village's gate..."

Bang!!

Upon hearing this, A slammed the table again. The wooden surface immediately shattered into pieces!

Mabui, standing to the side, rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Great, this was already the seventh table they'd replaced in the past few months.

"Mabui! Spread the word! Check the defensive lines around Kumo! See if Kirigakure has already infiltrated them! I don't believe that Yusuke Kamizuki would dare to come to our village with just three or four people!"

"Yes, sir!" Mabui immediately accepted the order.

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

At the entrance of Kumogakure.

"Report! Lord Jinchūriki! At the entrance —" A Kumo ninja quickly approached Killer B.

"Yo, I've already picked up on that vibe!" B waved his hand, interrupting the ninja.

Without hesitation, he leapt towards the Cloud Village's main gate.

Simultaneously, Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, sensed the commotion and rushed to join him.

They had been patrolling the village perimeter, aware of the possibility that Yusuke might come to Kumogakure. However, they never imagined he would brazenly enter through the main gate.

And to do so in such a high-profile manner!

❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆

At the entrance gate.

"Very good. We've attracted their attention." Yusuke lounged on a stone chair, draping his arms over Tsunade's shoulders and pulling her closer, making himself quite comfortable.

Tsunade trembled with rage!

Yet she dared not stand. Rising would trigger an electric shock, and after being shocked, she'd soon collapse back onto the chair. Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to sit obediently.

And appear as a couple with him!

[ Ding! Tsunade is livid! She wants to tear you apart! Congratulations, host has gained 10,000 Villain Points ]

Yusuke raised an eyebrow.

He'd just made himself comfortable with her, right? Was such hatred necessary? Just because he was discreetly feeling her ample bosom? Absurd!

Indeed! Women! Utterly unreasonable creatures.

In the scorching summer heat, thankfully, some tree shade provided cover. Even so, Tsunade had begun to sweat.

Curiously, Yusuke's body remained cool and refreshing. What was going on?

"Feeling cool?" He asked with a sudden smile.

"Cool... you!" Tsunade blurted out without thinking.

She then glared at him, her expression a mix of shame and anger.

"Can't you feel this pleasant breeze?" Yusuke said, his smile widening. His eyes traveled to her neck, where a droplet of sweat trickled down into… her huge cleavage, "I envy that droplet."

A vein visibly pulsed on Tsunade's forehead.

She fought to suppress a scathing tirade. She wouldn't let Yusuke have his way so easily. His sole aim was to provoke her anger!

Tactics — yes, this was merely his despicable ploy! She had to endure it!

If she reacted, she'd be playing right into his hands. Endure it!

Stay calm, don't get carried away!
