Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

"On another note, Feng Qi, have you ever thought about taking revenge on Konoha?"

Tsunade assumed the standard arm-crossing pose, and this time the question she asked was even more direct.

Upon hearing this, Shizune, who was standing next to her, was startled: How could she ask such a question in front of an S-rank rogue ninja?

"Why are you all coming to ask me this kind of question?"

Feng Qi helplessly spread his hands, letting his long hair cover his eyes. "To be honest, I have absolutely no interest in such boring things as revenge."

"Any fool who dares to come here looking for trouble, just wave him on his way."

Tsunade suddenly caught the key word and asked with a hint of doubt, "Before me, has anyone asked you a similar question?"

Judging from Feng Qi's current combat strength, the person who is qualified to ask him a similar question must not be a simple person!

“That’s right, they are members of the Akatsuki organization. They want to invite me to join them,” Feng Qi said calmly.

Upon hearing the name Akatsuki, Tsunade's expression changed drastically. Disregarding her image, she rushed over and grabbed Feng Qi's shoulder, sternly rebuking him, "Akatsuki?! No! You absolutely cannot join. This organization's ideology and behavior are far too mysterious and dangerous!"

"Gently, Granny Tsunade, gently."

Feng Qi's body was nearly shaken apart. He raised a trembling finger and pointed at himself: "If I had agreed to join, would you still be able to see me now?"

Right……

Tsunade suppressed her overly excited emotions, but before she could calm down for even two seconds, she realized a certain sensitive word, and her chakra instantly ignited, erupting into visible hellfire!

"You rude brat from the Hyuga clan, what did you just call me?!"

With a benevolent gaze, Tsunade unhesitatingly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the diamond-shaped dot on her forehead transformed into black lines that spread throughout her body.

"Ninja Law, Creation and Regeneration, Baihao Technique!"

Chapter 36 The Rules of the Ninja World

The Bird Kingdom, a brightly lit tavern.

"Hahaha! I knew it, Jingyin. That brat Feng Qi isn't as bad as we thought. He even knows to treat us to drinks and food."

Tsunade had no regard for her image whatsoever. She grabbed some peanuts from the table and tossed them into her mouth. After that, she took a swig of special shochu from the Land of Birds, her face beaming with satisfaction.

After suffering consecutive defeats at the casino, she hadn't drunk like this for several days.

"Forehead……"

Sitting next to her, Jingyin's lips twitched twice, her delicate face filled with embarrassment.

Using the forbidden Hundred Healings Technique to threaten a junior is truly shameful.

Meanwhile, Shizune frowned, watching with concern as Tsunade cheerfully filled her cup.

It goes without saying that another hectic and chaotic night is about to begin...

"To be able to spar with Lady Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is a rare opportunity. Compared to that, a drink is nothing."

Across from him, Feng Qi smiled and picked up his wine glass, taking two small sips.

The sorcerer's greatest skill is to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Although he is confident that he can fight against or even defeat Tsunade when she activates the Hundred Healings Technique, that would come at a certain cost and risk.

There were countless eyes secretly watching his Byakugan; there was no need to fight to the death with Tsunade, who had no intention of killing, because of a pointless desire to win.

Since the cost of a drink could solve the problem, Feng Qi was naturally quite happy to agree.

In this way, he could also conveniently do Tsunade a small favor.

"Sumimaser, red bean paste Sumimaser!"

Seeing Feng Qi's polite and gentle demeanor, Jingyin felt even more ashamed and bowed deeply in apology.

Seeing this, Feng Qi casually waved his hand: "It's just a meal of drinks, Senior Jingyin, there's no need for that."

"Hey! Jingyin, Feng Qi is right, let's not worry about anything else, let's drink first and talk about it later."

Tsunade reached out and pulled Shizune into her incredibly broad embrace, making a move to feed her wine.

Jingyin shook her head repeatedly and hurriedly left.

Given that Lady Tsunade was destined to go on a drunken rampage, she, who wasn't a big drinker, dared not start drinking at all.

"Tch, that's really boring."

Tsunade, who was still relatively sober, pursed her lips and then picked up the sake bottle to fill up the cup of Fuuki across from her.

Feng Qi tapped the table lightly with his palm a few times, not flustered at all. He picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Tsunade's, and then drank it all in one gulp.

His alcohol tolerance was quite good, more than enough to handle Tsunade—the Feng Hou Qi Men technique gave him the ability to stay calm at all times, and he was unlikely to get drunk unless he completely let down all his physical defenses.

"Lady Tsunade, I answered many of your questions at the lake earlier."

While Tsunade still seemed relatively sober, Feng Qi put down his empty wine glass and asked earnestly, "Now, can you help me resolve my doubts?"

"Tell me about it," Tsunade said without hesitation, waving her arm.

Although she appears straightforward and impulsive on the surface, as an excellent medical ninja, she is naturally quite meticulous.

After such a battle, she already knew exactly what kind of person Hinata Kazeki was.

"If, I mean if, Lady Tsunade, you became Hokage, what would you do to me?"

Feng Qi's eyes were firm, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply, completely unexpected to receive such a strange question: "Ah, I thought you wanted to ask me if I had any beautiful wives to introduce you to."

After a half-joking remark, Tsunade, who was propping her cheek with one hand and had her two enormous breasts lying on the table, gradually became serious as she glanced at Feng Qi.

"Feng Qi, the only thing I can tell you definitively is that I will absolutely not become some boring Hokage!" Her tone was unusually firm.

"That's why I said 'if.' As a ninja, there will always be times when you have no choice but to act against your will, won't there?" Feng Qi chuckled.

Why does this guy act like he knew I would definitely become Hokage?

Tsunade noticed the subtle change in Feng Qi's expression, and her brows furrowed deeply.

She lowered her head, staring blankly at the unfinished wine bowl in her hand.

"I think my decision might be the same as the third generation's."

After pondering for a long time, Tsunade finally spoke with a deep look in her eyes, "No matter the reason, killing an elder of the clan is an unforgivable sin."

"These are the cruel and ruthless rules of the ninja world..."

From the perspective of the Hokage, the head of a village, prioritizing the elimination of rogue ninja who pose a potential threat is something that must be done.

Especially in Konoha, where various clans and forces are intricately intertwined, countless eyes are watching from the shadows. Any slight slip-up could become a fatal political weapon!

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Tsunade is so determined not to become Hokage: she finds it difficult to be as cold and ruthless as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura!

This is a very contradictory problem for Tsunade.

"I see, I understand." Feng Qi nodded silently.

"Nothing!"

Tsunade slapped her hand, stretched her arm across the table, and pressed down on Feng Qi's head, giving it a good rub.

"Hyuga Fuuki, personally, I don't dislike you~" she said with a smile.

"Haha, it's my honor." Feng Qi returned the smile.

He glanced back at the street shrouded in darkness outside the tavern, and having found his answer, he slowly stood up.

"I've already paid for the drinks, Lady Tsunade, Senior Shizune. I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Feng Qi wasn't particularly interested in the part where Tsunade went on a drinking spree and showered everyone with fan service.

Although Tsunade is impeccable in both strength and reputation, she is an excellent candidate to be recruited as a partner.

However, after careful consideration, Feng Qi abandoned this dangerous idea.

Putting aside the question of whether Tsunade, who is currently in a completely passive state, would agree to become allies with the Konoha rogue ninja.

Even if she actually agrees, her fiery temper and tendency to start fights at the drop of a hat will definitely cause a lot of trouble!

His current course of action is still focused on stability and is not suitable for large-scale actions.

Tsunade and Shizune were stunned for a moment, then quietly watched Fukichi's figure gradually disappear into the dark street corner.

"They're being so mysterious, saying I'll become Hokage? How is that possible?!"

Tsunade poured herself a drink while muttering to herself, her face full of confusion.

Given Hiruzen's current physical condition, serving as Hokage for another three to five years is not a problem at all. Even if he really has to step down, there are still so many outstanding juniors in the village who can be trained to fill the position. Shimura Danzo has coveted this position for many years.

Where is one needed?

Honestly, I've already decided not to go back to the village, why should I think about these trivial things!

Suddenly realizing the problem, Tsunade shook her head helplessly and drank in silence.

Chapter 37 The Samurai Ghost

"Lady Tsunade, is this really okay? After all, he's still a rogue ninja from the village..."

Jingyin held the pink piglet in her arms, gazing in the direction where Feng Qi had disappeared.

"Shizune, do you think that guy is like a vicious and extremely dangerous S-rank rogue ninja?" Tsunade asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Jingyin shook her head slightly and fell silent.

No, there really isn't one.

Putting aside his infamous identity as a rogue ninja, Feng Qi gave her the impression of being a completely normal ninja.

If we have to point out a difference, we can only say that he is too easygoing and lacks the brutality and cold-bloodedness that a ninja should have!

"To be honest, in all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen an S-rank rogue ninja set up a stall to make a living."

At this point, Tsunade covered her face with her hand, her tone filled with helplessness, and sighed, "That guy, he clearly possesses terrifying power far beyond that of his peers!"

"Lady Tsunade, do you think his dream is possible to come true?" Shizune thought of the dream that Fuuki had mentioned before.
