Chapter 154 » Yusuke: Kurotsuchi, Wait Until You're Older to Repay Me!
He gently sniffed the air, sensing the lingering scent of the explosion. A trace of chakra remained — the kind that could be mixed into clay to create explosives.
Deidara?
He pondered for a moment. At this time, he should be about twelve or thirteen years old, right?
"Grandpa, is this the important person you mentioned before? The one who's visiting our village?"
A little girl's voice came from behind Onoki. Kurotsuchi tilted her head, carefully examining Yusuke before her.
"Shh, be quiet." Onoki immediately chided her impolite behavior.
Yusuke noticed her at this moment and smiled slightly.
"Come here."
Seeing this, the old man's pupils constricted slightly.
According to legend, Yusuke was known to be unpredictable and moody — a person who could kill without blinking an eye! Could it be that his granddaughter's casual remarks had sparked murderous intentions?
His face darkened at this moment.
Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi gracefully came to stand in front of Yusuke.
With short black hair and dark eyes, her face was full of curiosity towards him. Although she was only about ten years old now, one could already see those incredibly long legs. No wonder she would become the future "Leg Shadow"!
{T/N:… FBI, open up!!}
Yusuke clicked his tongue. Then he reached out his right hand and patted her head.
"Keep it up, work hard. In the future, your achievements will surely surpass those of your grandfather."
"Eh?" Hearing this, Kurotsuchi blinked her eyes. Then, with a slightly smug expression, she said, "Of course! My future achievements will definitely be more impressive than Grandpa's!"
Seeing her chatting and laughing with the most powerful being in this world, Onoki's back was now drenched in sweat.
After all, in the ninja world, there had always been many rumors about Yusuke — tales of his cruelty, coldness, and unpredictable temperament. It was said that even the slightest displeasure could lead him to massacre entire villages.
Indeed, this was the first real meeting between Onoki and Yusuke.
"In the future, if you encounter any problems in your training that you don't understand, you can come find me in Konohagakure or Kirigakure. Here, I'll give you something nice." Yusuke said with a smile on his face.
Then he took out a shiny black kunai with a unique shape. There were also some extremely beautiful patterns on it. These were, of course, the formula markings for the Flying Thunder God technique.
This uniquely shaped kunai also represented his symbol! As long as she carried his kunai, she could easily pass through almost anywhere.
"What a beautiful kunai." Kurotsuchi took the kunai from his hand and nodded earnestly, "Thank you, big brother!"
"It's a bit too early to thank me now." Yusuke looked at her and smiled meaningfully, "Wait a few years, after you've grown up. Then you can come and thank me properly."
{T/N:...….. Dude, fuck this shit…}
"Mm-hmm!" Kurotsuchi naturally didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. She simply nodded her head obediently.
"Ahem. I've already had people prepare a grand feast. I wonder if you two—" Onoki said respectfully.
"Phew... Perfect. I'm hungry. Let's go!" Tsunade held her stomach and came to his side.
"Alright." Yusuke nodded.

Twenty minutes later, in an extremely luxurious reception hall, a sumptuous array of food was neatly arranged.
Tsunade's appetite was now in full swing. After all, she had been hungry for a long time, having gone almost a day and a half without eating!
Looking at the uninhibited woman sitting across from him, Onoki's forehead was now covered in a layer of sweat. Beside Tsunade, Yusuke sat gracefully in the main seat.
"Onoki, since we're here, I'll get straight to the point. There are only two paths for you, the Tsuchikage, to choose from." Yusuke's finger lightly tapped on the table, his face beaming with a warm, sunny smile.
However, it was precisely this smile — as gentle as a spring breeze — that made Onoki's hands and feet turn ice cold!
He took a deep breath and, with a grave expression, asked, "Please, go on."
Yusuke was very satisfied with his reaction. It seemed this old man wasn't as decrepit as he thought. After all, in the current situation, properly receiving him would be the correct path to take.
"First, from now on, the Land of Earth will directly become a subordinate affiliated country under the jurisdiction of my Kirigakure. Furthermore, we will eliminate the existence of the feudal lord's power. In the future, all resources of the entire country must be handed over to our Land of Water. Then, they will be redistributed by my country's centralized authority."
After hearing his words, Onoki's face turned green!
The purpose of this first choice was very clear! He wanted to make the entire Land of Earth exist in name only! Although it would still be called the Land of Earth, if they chose the first option, then from that moment on, the entire Land of Earth would completely fall into his pocket!
He wanted to fully subjugate the entire country without using a single soldier!
"Then... what about the second option?" Onoki asked cautiously.
"The second is simpler than the first." Yusuke said with a smile, "We go to war with your Land of Earth immediately. Oh, and I will participate personally. By my initial estimate, within half a day, I can slaughter the entire country clean."
His face still wore an elegant smile, but his words made Onoki, sitting across from him, tremble all over.
At this moment, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Only the sound of Tsunade chewing on a chicken leg continued to make chomp chomp noises. She already knew that Yusuke was just trying to scare the old Tsuchikage.
However, the lives of millions of citizens in the entire Land of Earth now rested on his choice.
And... he had no choice!
