Just to be on the safe side, he pulled out a chakra pacifier from his ninja tool pouch and popped it into his mouth. "Uh, it's strawberry flavored?! Have you ever heard of strawberry-flavored chakra?!"

While muttering to himself, Wu Yue suddenly froze. He remembered that he still had a ridiculous option to complete. Fortunately, the system hadn't given him a notification yet.

In other words, there's still time!

With that thought in mind, he flashed and stood atop the slug's head once more, sucking on the pacifier and looking down upon all living beings.

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

086 Okay, still that pervert.

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

Oops!

The moment Chiyo and Ebizo watched Shukaku's body gradually turn into quicksand, they knew they had lost the battle! They had lost without a doubt!

Who would have thought that Konoha actually had a "secret weapon" capable of countering Tailed Beasts? This is practically cheating! Wasn't it supposed to be that only Tailed Beasts could fight Tailed Beasts?!

However, what's done is done. No amount of thinking about it or feeling regretful will change anything. The most important thing now is to retrieve Shukaku!

Thinking of this, Chiyo and Ebizo exchanged a glance, as if they had instantly completed some kind of communication.

The former moved his ten fingers in rapid succession, and the battered and bruised Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters leaped into the air once more, brandishing their weapons and attacking Tsunade; the latter, meanwhile, pulled two explosive grenades from his ninja tool pouch. Not only that, he also attached two detonating tags to the grenades and hurled them directly at Tsunade.

Rumble.

A huge explosion rang out, and smoke billowed into the sky.

After launching their respective attacks, Chiyo and her brother turned around and ran towards Mugetsu's location without even looking back at the situation behind them.

call.

Before long, Tsunade, covered in smoke and dust, burst out of the smoke and shouted angrily, "You two old bastards, don't even think about running away!" She quickly chased after the two.

As they chased and fled, they drew ever closer to Wuyue.

However, Mugetsu himself didn't notice this. He simply stood atop the slug's head, his gaze fixed intently on the group of ninja opposite him, including those from Sand Village and Konoha.

All of them turned their gazes toward him. Those who were further away looked at him with admiration, envy, and amazement, and of course, fear! It was as if the person standing in front of them was not a short boy, but a god who had descended to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Those who were closer had strange expressions on their faces.

Because they could all clearly see that the super being who had just displayed great power and killed the One-Tailed Shukaku was now sucking on a pacifier, just like a child who hadn't been weaned.

The contrast was so stark that they didn't know how to react.

The same thing happened to Tsunade and Chiyo, who arrived later.

Tsunade's lips twitched, and she was utterly exasperated. Chiyo and her brother, on the other hand, couldn't believe it—this child, still so young, had ruined their plans?!

"Ahem, listen up, you Sand Ninja over there!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mugetsu cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Either put down your weapons or hand over your panties, or... I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Damn, that's so embarrassing!

Wu Yue really wanted to cover his face at this moment. To say something so perverted at such a serious moment made him feel extremely ashamed!

However, he was a seasoned veteran. Although he was embarrassed inside, he maintained a perfect facade, revealing no flaws and remaining completely indifferent.

The ninjas who heard his announcement looked at each other with disbelief, wondering if they were dreaming or if they had misheard.

After all, this is just too incomprehensible! What the hell is this about handing over panties?! This is a war, what would you need panties for?! And... taking off your panties in public is just too embarrassing!

Wu Yue ignored the strange and surprised expressions of these people, her mind completely absorbed in the system's notification sounds.

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection and receiving the reward: Master-level inheritance - Limitless Sword Dao. All cultivation levels will increase by fifty days, and the Dragon Clan's growth cycle will increase by five years."

Limitless Sword Path?! That's pretty awesome!

After quickly reviewing the information in her mind, Wuyue was overjoyed. Losing so much integrity for such a reward was definitely worthwhile.

Besides, my beautiful teacher is far away and didn't hear anything, so I'm not worried at all!

Just as Wuyue was smiling brightly, his face beaming with smug satisfaction, the slug sister beneath him suddenly vanished in a puff of smoke with a "bang." Caught off guard, he crashed to the ground, utterly bewildered. "What happened? I didn't even deactivate the spirit connection. Could it be... could it be that even the slug sister couldn't stand this perverted talk and ran back on her own?"

"I deactivated it." A familiar voice sounded behind Wuyue, making him freeze. "Eh? Tsunade-sensei...when did you arrive?"

"Just when you're about to put on your panties," Tsunade replied calmly.

What the hell?! Why are you guys always so punctual?! You're obviously just trying to embarrass me, aren't you?!

Wuyue roared inwardly, but her face was full of misery.

"Can you tell me?" Tsunade asked, a mischievous smile spreading across her face as she rubbed her hands together. "Why did you ask those Sand Ninja for panties?"

"This, this..."

Just as Mugetsu was about to answer, she saw Chiyo, not far away, suddenly release a retreat signal flare, while Ebizo beside her took out a container that looked like a teapot. After opening it, a powerful suction force sucked all the sand formed by Shukaku into it.

After quickly finishing all this, they turned and ran without looking back.

087 Great Victory, Negotiations Finalized!

What the hell!

Wu Yue was stunned. That was some seriously impressive maneuvering! The phrase "flowing smoothly and flawlessly" perfectly described it! How many rehearsals had they practiced before the battle?!

Tsunade frowned and said, "They actually took advantage of this time... I really underestimated these old guys."

Hey! If you hadn't come and argued with me, none of this would have happened! We even managed to capture the enemy's tailed beasts!

While inwardly cursing, Wuyue dared not say it aloud, and could only tentatively ask, "Teacher...aren't you going to chase after them?"

Tsunade turned her face away and immediately retorted, "Your speed seems to be faster than mine."

"I'm out of chakra." Wuyue pointed to the pacifier in her mouth and added, "Replenishing it."

"I'm about the same." With a sigh, the black lines on Tsunade's face gradually faded. "And even if I caught up, it wouldn't make a difference. I can't stop them by myself."

Indeed, when faced with a Kage-level powerhouse who is determined to escape, unless you possess extraordinary speed like Minato Namikaze or Mugetsu, you can only watch their backs disappear little by little.

"So, what do we do next?" Wuyue asked, scratching her head.

"Once Shikaku and the others return, we'll launch a full-scale attack on the Sand Village at dawn." Tsunade pondered for a moment before deciding, "This should be the final battle."

Wuyue nodded and said nothing more.

Indeed, this is the best and safest approach at present.

Although Konoha's headquarters was not completely destroyed, it lost more than half of its facilities, supplies, and even military rations. It was simply impossible to sustain a prolonged war of attrition, and with the Sand Village suffering a crushing defeat, their morale was reduced to almost nothing.

It would be a real shame not to take advantage of this opportunity and rake in a huge heist of them.

……

……

Kikyo Mountain.

Located at the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers, the Sand Village and Konoha engaged in a relatively minor battle.

This time, Konoha didn't choose a covert operation; instead, a massive, all-out attack on Sunagakure. Therefore, it's understandable that Sunagakure received intelligence and came to intercept them.

Why is it said that the battle between the two was not very intense?

To the discerning eye, this wasn't a battle of equals; it was more like a massacre. The Sand Village ninja were unilaterally slaughtered. When Konoha's war machine began operating at full power, the Sand Village ninja finally understood the true strength of the greatest village.

With Mugetsu and Tsunade, two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, leading the way, no matter what formation or tactics the Sand Ninja used, they were all like paper, crumbling under the absolute power.

Moreover, because their previous strategy failed, they no longer have any elite troops to deploy on the front lines. Most of them are young ninjas of similar age to Mugetsu who are brought in as cannon fodder. What kind of combat capability can such an army have?

Therefore, given the shifting balance of power, Konoha fought this battle with ease and enjoyment. It was practically a one-sided sweep.

That's the end of it.

When Tsunade saw the Fourth Kazekage, dressed in solemn attire and wearing a straw hat, appear on the battlefield, she immediately waved her hand to stop the massacre.

Without a doubt, the fact that the Fourth Kazekage appeared in this formal attire meant that the Sand Village leadership knew their fate was sealed and had already given in. They had come to negotiate.

Konoha, on the other hand, couldn't possibly wipe them out completely. Leaving aside the question of whether their forces were sufficient to completely annihilate the Sand Village ninja, they were bound to be decimated.

From a purely pragmatic standpoint, Konoha needs a Sunagakure that submits to its will, not a destroyed ruin. The reason is simple: this war isn't a one-on-one battle, but a chaotic free-for-all!

It's important to understand that this war, which is sweeping across the entire ninja world, is not just a simple battle between the two sides, but also involves using other countries to create a check and balance!

Without any one of these links, this whole system wouldn't function.

For example, if Konoha wipes out the Sand Village this time, then the Iwa Village, which is fighting against Konoha on the other side, will have more manpower to deal with Konoha!

This is a vicious cycle, something that all the major ninja villages are trying their best to avoid. It's entirely self-destructive and doesn't align with the principle of prioritizing self-interest.

Unless one day a ninja village becomes so powerful that it can single-handedly sweep across the entire ninja world, everyone will have to play by these rules.

Therefore, the Fourth Kazekage's compromise signifies the complete end of Konoha's war against Sunagakure. The next step involves the various matters concerning the so-called ceasefire agreement and alliance agreement…

As the highest-ranking officer on the western front, Tsunade naturally had full authority to represent Konoha. Moreover, in terms of both status and prestige, she was more than qualified to be the Hokage's representative.

The entire agreement was discussed for nearly two hours in the Sand Village's temporary camp. Although there were several disputes along the way, it was eventually resolved satisfactorily.

Seeing her teacher walk out of the tent with a relaxed expression, Wuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't the fact that he was in enemy territory that terrified him, but rather the gaze from a nearby figure that made him feel uneasy and constantly on edge. And the source of that gaze was none other than Ye Cang.

088 The sour smell of love

What's wrong with this woman?

Wu Yue glanced at her furtively, then quickly looked away. Why did he feel like a scumbag who had abandoned his wife when she was watching him? "This is inexplicable, utterly inexplicable!"

Tsunade turned her head away, frowned, and asked, "What are you muttering about?"

"Uh, it's nothing." Wu Yue naturally didn't dare to say more, so she could only change the subject: "Has everything been settled?"

"That's about it." Tsunade's lips curved into a charming smile. "The rest is time for them to discuss it amongst themselves."

"Oh." Wuyue nodded and said nothing more.

Everyone understands what "discussing it amongst ourselves" means.

It's simply that the Sand Village felt Tsunade's conditions were too harsh, and they wanted to deliberately put her on the defensive. They also wanted to discuss whether they could gain more benefits within the limited framework.

Of course, everything agreed upon by both sides is only a preliminary draft, that is, the general principles. As for more detailed issues, both villages will need to send delegations to conduct extensive consultations. This is a rather complicated process.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade asked again, "Why are you the only one here? Where are Kurenai and Shizune?"

Wu Yue truthfully replied, "They are tired, so I told them to go to the rear guard to rest first."
