Bang!
Yusuke didn't hesitate.
Without warning, he flipped over the conference table in front of him. The wooden table crashed to the ground, scattering documents across the floor.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the Raikage's office became tense. The overturned table lay quietly on its side.
"Lord Yusuke! Please calm down!" Mabui exclaimed, startled by his action. She had never encountered such an unpredictable adversary.
She had only attempted a small probe, but his reaction was enormous. For a moment, she was at a loss.
If he were someone even slightly reasonable, Mabui would have felt confident handling the situation. But now, after just a minor inquiry, she was stunned.
A was equally shocked. Was Yusuke truly this unreasonable?
"Now... is this matter still difficult to handle?" Yusuke leaned back in his chair leisurely, smiling as if his outburst had never occurred.
Beside him, Tsunade's eyebrows twitched slightly. He had flipped their table and still asked if it was difficult to handle. Anyone with a shred of dignity would find this intolerable!
She glanced quickly at the Raikage. If he could endure this, Yusuke would have the upper hand for the rest of the meeting.
"I...!!" A was now consumed by rage.
If Mabui hadn't held him back, he would have fought Yusuke to the death without hesitation.
"Lord Raikage! We absolutely cannot!" Mabui said quickly, biting her lip. She stood up and cleared her throat, "Let's step aside and discuss this properly. I'll have someone replace the conference table. After all, we still need to sign the agreement later."
Her words were seamless. She found an opportunity to confer with the Raikage while hinting at the impending agreement.
Yusuke's face still wore a smile.
Mabui led Yugito and A to one side.
"Lord Raikage! We cannot go to war with Kirigakure right now! Moreover, Yusuke Kamizuki's strength has far exceeded our estimates. Given the power he has displayed, I'm afraid it would require you at your peak, plus Lord Killer B and the Two-Tails. With Lord Killer B severely injured, we can't rashly engage in battle!"
Mabui's thoughts raced rapidly.
"Besides, Yusuke Kamizuki has already demonstrated his methods in the village. If we don't agree to his terms this time, he might target innocent villagers."
"He dares?!" A exploded in anger.
Yugito lowered her head and gritted her teeth. "Lord Raikage! He... he really dares! Lord Killer B and I have experienced it. The lives of villagers and ninja... are like grass in his eyes."
Hearing this, his heart burned with fury!
"Then tell me, Mabui, Yugito. What should we do?"
Mabui lowered her head, her fists tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. "Actually, even if I suffer a little... I can... I can accept it! It's just... his second condition. He wants to take either the Two-Tails or Eight-Tails jinchuriki. According to our intelligence, Yusuke Kamizuki seems to be very fond of proposing marriage, as he has already proposed to Konoha twice. So, what he really wants is the Two-Tails jinchuriki."
Mabui and Yugito, both women, instinctively understood the implications. If they agreed to his conditions, they'd face unspeakable torment in Kirigakure.
"He's calculated everything. We can't hand over the Eight-Tails jinchuriki — we need to keep our strongest fighting force for the village!" Mabui gritted her teeth.
Usually, she could swiftly resolve even the thorniest issues in Kumogakure. But now, Yusuke had tightly constrained her choices. She could only follow the path he'd laid out.
A sense of utter powerlessness overwhelmed her. As the de facto second-in-command of the Cloud Village, she'd suffered a crushing defeat at Yusuke's hands.
"I... I'll do it. Let Lord Killer B stay. He's severely injured and needs to recover." Yugito said, biting her lip.
She knew agreeing might lead to an inhumane fate, but for the village's sake, sacrifices were sometimes necessary — be it one's body or life.
"Mabui... Yugito... Don't worry! I'll gather the other hidden villages as quickly as possible. We'll come to rescue you!" A's distress was palpable.
In one fell swoop, the village would lose not only vast resources but also his most capable assistant and the Two-Tails jinchuriki. This feeling was worse than death itself.
[ Ding! A's hatred towards you has intensified! Congratulations, host has gained 50,000 Villain Points ]
[ Ding! Mabui's heart is filled with resentment towards you! Congratulations, host has gained 50,000 Villain Points ]
[ Ding! Yugito is filled with hatred towards you! Congratulations, host has gained 50,000 Villain Points ]
Yusuke lounged in his chair, casually raking in 150,000 Villain Points with a wave of his hand. Comfortable.
He'd been using the "Electric Web" ability — developed from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit — since earlier. Though Mabui and the others had stepped aside to discuss, every word reached his ears.
On the other side, Mabui took a deep breath.
"For now, we can only agree to Yusuke Kamizuki's conditions." Mabui said solemnly, "Once we're in Kirigakure, I'll use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send information to Lord Raikage. We can also gather intel about Kiri. It might be the only way I can serve the village while there."
A, not one to misread the situation, could only agree with extreme frustration.
"...Alright!"
He led Mabui and Yugito back to the newly replaced conference table.
"Yusuke Kamizuki! I... I agree to your demands!"
"Hold on." Yusuke said, rising leisurely, "You've kept me waiting far too long. I'm displeased. So today, you'll deliver your village's entire year's worth of stored resources to Kirigakure. And here's the kicker — your own ninja squad must deliver it."
"Of course. Rest assured, once we reach Kiri, I'll have my people meticulously verify the resources. In my book, it can only be more, not less. If there's even a smidgen missing, I'll declare war on Kumogakure without hesitation! Oh, and let me remind you of one more thing — I'll be joining the battle personally."
Yusuke's face still wore a composed smile.
"What!! You... you... you!!" The Raikage exploded in rage!!!
To demand a whole year's worth of resources right off the bat?! This would cripple the Cloud Village's development! Moreover, it was even more outrageous to have his own village's ninja escort the resources over?!
He was furious! He completely lost his patience!!
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
"Yusuke Kamizuki!! I'm going to kill you!!" He roared!
Completely ignoring Mabui's attempts to stop him, A leapt forward!! His fist fiercely struck towards Yusuke's face!!
Lightning Straight!
With the Lightning Release Chakra Mode at full power, he unleashed an unprecedented aura!
Meanwhile, Yusuke remained standing still in his original position. He raised his hand — a straightforward punch without any fancy moves — directly clashing fists with the Fourth Raikage!
Boom!!!
At the point where their fists met, a sonic boom erupted!
Then, Yusuke's fist effortlessly broke through A's, shattering his palm and continuing to crush the bones in his wrist. Flesh and tissue were directly exposed to the air!
The intense pain instantly brought the Raikage back to his senses somewhat. But the attack wasn't over yet!
Crack——!!
Crunch!!
The sound of bones breaking continued incessantly! Next came the shattering of the forearm bones, then the elbow joint, finally the upper arm, then the shoulder! The shoulder blade was pulverized!
And A's entire right arm was directly blasted apart!
"Hiss...Ahhh!!!!"
The overwhelmingly intense pain instantly made the Raikage cry out in agony!
If it were just simply losing his right arm, he wouldn't have lost his composure to the point of screaming. But now, Yusuke hadn't just shattered his right arm — he had also sent shockwaves through all of his internal organs!
This pain was like being sliced by a thousand blades!
"Lord Raikage!" Mabui and others quickly rushed over.
They swiftly had medical ninjas stop A's bleeding.
"Lord Yusuke! We agree! We agree to everything!" Mabui said frantically, "We've already drafted the treaty you mentioned earlier. We'll sign it right away!"
"If you had done this earlier, none of this would have happened." Yusuke said with a smile. Then he sighed, his face full of regret, "Look at this. You've lost an arm for nothing. Ah..."
At this moment, the Raikage was nearly about to pass out from anger.
With extreme frustration, he signed the treaty with his left hand.
Afterwards, Mabui quickly made arrangements. She had this year's accumulated resources brought out, then swiftly assembled a team of Kumo ninjas. They began preparing these resources for transport, working busily until evening.
Everything was finally settled. Now, they just needed Yusuke to give the order, and this Cloud Village resource escort team would set out!
"Lord Yusuke, here is the resource inventory list." Mabui said carefully as she brought over the document.
"Never mind. I trust you." Yusuke said casually, handing the inventory list to Kisame beside him, "Kisame, check it first. Once you've verified it, we'll depart."
"Yes, Lord Yusuke!" Kisame immediately obeyed.
Mabui wore a forced smile. At the same time, she grumbled in her heart, 'Didn't he just say he trusted me...'
Yusuke glanced at the abundant resources placed in the square. He estimated that just carefully counting everything would take an entire night.
He raised his head, looked at the darkening sky, then stretched lazily.
"I'm tired. Today, we'll rest in your Kumogakure. Mabui, get us a room." Yusuke said.
Mabui's body trembled slightly upon hearing this. She obediently replied, "Yes. Please follow me, Lord Yusuke."
She gracefully led the way to the accommodation area specially prepared for envoys from other ninja villages. Not daring to be careless, Mabui chose the most luxurious reception area.
This place was usually reserved for receiving the daimyo of the Land of Lightning or Kages from other ninja villages. Now, it was being used to directly receive Yusuke.
Not far away…
"Aah!!"
Bzz bzz bzz—
An electric current quickly spread throughout Tsunade's entire body, finally bringing her back to her senses!
"Damn it! I can't be more than ten meters away from him!" She endured the pain from the electric current and quickly followed.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
An hour later, on one of Kumogakure's most luxurious canyon peaks.
In the opulent reception area, Mabui guided Yusuke and Tsunade to their quarters.
"Quite impressive indeed." Tsunade remarked, eyeing the reception area. She nudged Yusuke's back, "Hey, I'm hungry!"
"Contain yourself." Yusuke said, raising an eyebrow.
"Impossible!" Tsunade exclaimed, having already spotted the banquet spread in a table through the windows.
"Call me 'daddy', and I'll let you eat." Yusuke said, tilting his head towards her.
"You—!" Tsunade's face flushed with anger, "You're utterly shameless!"
"I appreciate the compliment. Do try a different adjective next time." Yusuke replied, nonchalantly picking his ear.
He then proceeded towards the luxurious reception area.
"This is your prepared room." Mabui said softly, opening the most lavish suite.
"Not bad." He nodded approvingly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll—"
As Mabui was about to take her leave, Yusuke's voice reached her ear.
"Tonight, you'll be in charge of my entertainment."
