I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Sakura quickly shook her head.

While it may not necessarily involve robbing ordinary people, it's entirely possible that they would rob the rich to help the poor!

By this time, Sakura no longer believed in Tsunade's character and seriously doubted that she could do such a thing.

Tsunade, left with no other option, explained, "We're not going to steal, we're going to borrow. Borrow, understand?"

Sakura nodded, then pulled out a handful of IOUs from her pocket. "I understand, just like before."

Tsunade fell silent.

His expression was incredibly awkward.

Because what Sakura showed were all IOUs for casino high-interest loans that she had 'accidentally' incurred during this trip.

Of course, Tsunade never thought she would pay back the money she owed, nor did she feel that she had done anything wrong.

As expected of you, Tsunade!

"It's different. This time I'm borrowing it in Konoha's name. I can ask the Hokage for reimbursement when I return to Konoha..."

Tsunade was very stubborn, but her shifty eyes showed that she was also unsure of herself.

But then I thought, by the time I get back, Jiraiya will probably be Hokage by then, so reimbursing some mission expenses won't be a problem.

Without further hesitation, she immediately led her people inside.

"Halt!"

They were stopped by guards as soon as they arrived at the gate of Daming Prefecture.

Fortunately, Tsunade had all the necessary paperwork for this mission and presented it directly to prove her identity.

"We are ninjas from Konoha, on a classified mission, and we need to meet with the Daimyo."

The two guards were stunned when they heard this.

What are the Konoha ninja doing in their Bird Country?

They couldn't tell whether the other party was real or fake; all they knew was that the Land of Fire was a superpower that their entire Bird Country couldn't afford to offend.

Not daring to be negligent, one of the guards immediately said, "The previous daimyo, Lord Osawa, passed away not long ago, and a successor or acting daimyo has not yet been chosen."

Tsunade had naturally heard about this, so she went along with it and asked, "Then who is in charge of the mansion now?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "At present, Lord Ōsuru's son, Young Master Ōsuru, is living in the manor and is also a candidate for the next daimyo."

"Then please inform them."

Tsunade didn't care who became the daimyo of this country; she only knew that whoever lived here was the richest person in the country.

Soon, the guard returned with good news.

"Young Master Lu invites you guests inside for a chat."

Thank you.

Tsunade swaggered in with her entourage, looking completely at ease.

On the contrary, the three women following behind her felt very uncomfortable and somewhat guilty.

Because they all knew that Tsunade hadn't come here for any serious reason; she was only here to borrow money.

Borrowing money all the way to Daming Prefecture, that's something else.

Aside from Tsunade, you probably wouldn't find another person like her in the entire ninja world.

In a magnificent reception room, Tsunade and her group were able to meet the so-called Young Master Sagi.

He was a handsome young man with delicate features and a warm yet sincere smile that made him instantly likable.

"Distinguished guest from Konoha, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"Young Master Lu..."

"Please just call me Lu. 'Young Master' was just a nickname my father used when he was still alive. It shouldn't be taken seriously."

At such a young age, his manners and politeness are truly admirable.

Even Tsunade felt a little embarrassed to... cough cough, and asked to borrow money.

Seemingly noticing the slight unease on Tsunade's face, Sagat very understandingly asked the others in the room to leave for the time being.

"But, Young Master Lu..."

"Don't worry, since they are distinguished guests from Konoha, how could they possibly harm me? Go down."

Unable to dissuade him, the guards had no choice but to leave first.

Before leaving, he gave Tsunade and the others a helpless glare.

If they hadn't already known what kind of person Young Master Lu was, they would have suspected that this was a deliberate honey trap.

"Can we talk about it now?"

Under the curious gaze of the other party, Tsunade steeled her heart and decided to go all out.

"We're out here on a top-secret mission. If we fail, the entire world might face annihilation..."

Tsunade began her artistic interpretation with a serious expression.

Anyway, she didn't lie to anyone.

As she spoke, Young Master Lu's expression grew serious, leaving only Ziyuan and the others feeling quite awkward.

"So how do you require our cooperation? This concerns the life and death of all mankind, and we are aware of that. Please give us your instructions, Lady Tsunade."

Seeing the other party's sincere expression, Tsunade said without changing her expression, "We are professionals when it comes to combat. It's just a pity that we lost a lot of things after the last battle, including our supplies and equipment."

"So we came here this time hoping that your country can lend us some supplies temporarily, and we will repay you when we return to Konoha."

They're just saying that to make money; it sounds nice.

Even Lu was taken aback, not expecting that the topic had been raised so high, only to end up being about some yellow and white things.

The difference is just too great.

However, Lu quickly realized, "It's just a small amount of money, there's no need to repay it. As long as it helps people avoid being harmed, it's worth it tenfold or a hundredfold. Please wait a moment, I'll send someone right away..."

Boom!

Everything was going smoothly, and Tsunade was about to take the money and leave.

But then, a sudden change occurred!

The door to the room was forcefully pulled open from the outside, interrupting Lu's words.

Hongming walked in from outside, his face looking very unwell.

“Young Master Lu seems to have forgotten one thing: you are only temporarily residing in Daming Prefecture, not its master. You have no right to dispose of any of Daming Prefecture’s property.”

"Moreover, it's rather disgraceful for Lord Da Lu that a few charlatans could fool you so easily with a ridiculous story!"

[Chapter 471: The Eminent Monk]

Hongming's sudden arrival surprised everyone.

At this moment, the guard who had left the room earlier hurriedly came in and said to Young Master Lu with a very unpleasant expression, "I have already explained in advance that you are receiving guests, but Lord Hongming insisted on coming in, and I... we couldn't stop him."

"It's alright. Lord Hongming is an elder and my father's right-hand man. There must be a reason for his rude intrusion."

Even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it.

The seemingly amiable boy began to speak with barbs and veiled sarcasm, offering both praise and irony.

Hongming, however, seemed not to understand, and instead shook his head in disappointment, saying, "Children are not worth planning with. How can someone who trusts others so easily govern such a large country?"

At this point, Tsunade finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table, standing up abruptly.

"You started being sarcastic as soon as you came in, calling us liars. I didn't want to argue with you, but you just won't let it go."

Hongming glanced over and said, "In all my years of governing this country, I've never heard of Konoha ninjas coming to the Daimyo's residence to ask for money. When did the Land of Fire become unable to even afford Konoha's military expenses? Or have all the Konoha ninjas turned to banditry?"

Such sarcastic remarks caused Tsunade, Shizune, and the others to show displeasure.

But what follows is an awkward situation that cannot be refuted.

If Tsunade were truly a bandit, she could have simply robbed the Daimyo's residence right now and made a clean getaway.

But she had mentioned Konoha before, and she couldn't do that, otherwise she would be tarnishing the reputation of the village that her maternal grandfather had built.

Then her expression suddenly calmed down.

"Let's go, Shizune, Sakura."

Tsunade was too lazy to argue with the other party anymore; what's true is true, and what's false is false.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Tsunade and the others were about to leave, Sagaro suddenly spoke up: "Musashi, take half of my personal savings and give it to these people."

"Huh? But..."

"Hurry up and go!"

"Yes, Young Master Lu."

Seeing his impulsive actions and disregard for the overall situation, Hongming, who was standing to the side, once again showed a look of disappointment.

As expected, the eminent monk Meng Zong was right; the Bird Kingdom should not be handed over to an innocent child.

Dear Lord Dalu, I'm sorry.

Even if he is your child, I cannot stand by and watch him act so recklessly.

Let me continue to govern this country for you.

Hongming simply stopped talking.

Tsunade looked at Shogaku with surprise, "You're still willing to believe us?"

“Why not? Even if you have deceived me, all I will lose is a little money. But if what you say is true, countless people will be saved because of my one thought. I can tell the difference between the two.”

The boy's sincerity left Tsunade speechless.

"Fine, just consider it a lie I told you."
