Lucian looked at his subordinates, "The main mission this time is to bring back the families and friends you are attached to."
"To avoid any accidents in future wars or certain conspiracies, and to prevent unnecessary sorrow."
Wow, this Majesty is really something.
Mikoto's and Kushina's eyes lit up slightly. Mei Terumī was also a little lost in thought.
What kind of ruler is this?
I'm in love!
Lucian looked at Uchiha Madara, that arrogant man.
Uchiha Madara raised his head and met his gaze, calm.
Lucian said with deep meaning, "I have seen the person you miss in Konoha. If you want to go, then go. If not..."
"Alright!"
A cold light flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes. Black Zetsu, you can't escape.
SWISH!
Madara disappeared from the spot and rushed towards Konoha.
Watching Madara leave, Lucian's expression was a little strange, "It's rare to see him so impatient... I hope he won't get angry."
Uchiha Madara: ???
Uchiha Madara, who had just rushed out of the building, paused in his steps.
That's not right. Lucian's expression just now seemed off. Did he have something else to say?
Forget it. I'll go to Konoha first and talk later.
In the great hall.
Lucian muttered, "I hope he doesn't get mad... After all, my tool is not just Black Zetsu."
Black Zetsu was a tool, just enough to ignite Uchiha Madara's motivation to live.
But he couldn't keep using Black Zetsu to string Madara along. That would make Madara's heart more and more suppressed.
So it was best to let Madara quickly resolve his grudges and have a clear mind.
Unfortunately, Madara had left in too much of a hurry and hadn't heard the rest of Lucian's words. It was not certain that he could solve it this time.
Then, the second tool came online.
Lucian believed that when the second tool appeared, it would be the moment Uchiha Madara completely submitted.
Because in Madara's heart, no one was more important than that man.
"When you go to Konoha, remember to bring back Tsunade's family. Assign the missions yourselves and return as soon as possible."
Lucian disappeared from the spot and went back to absorb the Tailed Beasts.
In an instant, the great hall became lively.
"Little brother, want to take a trip to Kirigakure with this old man?"
Kakuzu enthusiastically put his arm around Kisame Hoshigaki's shoulder. After all, they were both Arrancar, so they were close.
The Ministry of Finance had just stabilized. He had originally wanted to go to Konoha.
But seeing how enthusiastic Lord Madara was, he decided to go to Kirigakure to get some benefits.
"..."
The corner of Kisame Hoshigaki's eye twitched.
Little brother? And calling yourself 'old man' all the time? What do you mean?
"Alright. It just so happens that I have some grudges to settle."
Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a bloodthirsty expression, holding a large sword wrapped in bandages in his hand.
It was the Samehada that Kakuzu had snatched from Fuguki. After being modified, it could absorb the enemy's soul power.
White Zetsu popped up and pouted, "Don't be so bloodthirsty at such a young age. You won't have any friends. By the way, I'm going to Kirigakure to investigate intelligence..."
"My name is White Zetsu. Call me Uncle White."
Kisame Hoshigaki: "..."
Do all the people here like to take advantage of others so much? But Kisame really couldn't refute.
Who said his real age was indeed young?
Kisame could only brace himself and say, "...Uncle... White."
"? I can't hear you!"
"Uncle... White!"
"Sigh, so you're a stutterer. You're useless."
"Uncle White! Is that okay!"
"Haha, that feels great."
"..."
Kisame Hoshigaki took a deep breath, wishing he could slash that annoying face of White Zetsu!
Such a despicable fellow. Are you sure you won't be beaten to death while investigating intelligence?
"Sigh!"
Kushina, Nagato, and the others were obviously going to Konoha. Mei Terumī looked at the three guys and couldn't help but have a headache.
One was a money-grubber who didn't care about his life, one was a despicable fellow, and one had just obtained his power.
To rely on these four to break into the Village Hidden in the Mist and snatch people, was it really reliable?
"Uncle Kakuzu, I'll go with you."
Yahiko was considering the balance of combat power. He also felt that it was not reliable for four people to break into Kirigakure. He was also very interested in Kirigakure.
After all, there was too little information there.
"Alright. This old man will take you to get rich. Hehehe..."
Seeing Kakuzu's sly smile, everyone was speechless.
On the other side.
Sakumo Hatake looked at the paused Kushina and Mikoto and said:
"Don't say any more. His Majesty is right. If we don't bring our families back, accidents might happen."
Sakumo Hatake had no hope for the high-ranking officials of Konoha.
He hadn't returned to Konoha this time. Who knew what kind of trouble it would cause?
The two women nodded, "Mhm, then let's set off."
Nagato also followed closely behind, his eyes complicated.
His Majesty had once said that if you have a kindness to repay, repay it. If you have a grudge to avenge, avenge it. Just seek a clear mind.
"Konoha, feel the pain!"
How many floors do I have to carry this bag of rice!
...
At the same time!
The Land of Wind!
Sand was everywhere, and the view was desolate.
Two white figures were moving quickly, not a few hundred meters away from the Village Hidden in the Sand.
Because of the sudden battle between Madara and Lucian, the two women had stayed in the empire for an extra day before setting off.
The journey was boring.
Thinking of this, Tsunade teased, "Konan, that night, you were quite brave..."
"What... ah..."
In an instant, the seemingly cold Konan's face suddenly turned red, and her speed slowed down.
What on earth is going on?
Does everyone know?
Tsunade's smile was full of teasing, "Look at your pretty face, which is like a setting sun. Let alone His Majesty, even I can't resist..."
"You didn't come out for a whole night and a whole morning. Could you bear it?"
"That's... that's not it."
Konan really couldn't stand Tsunade's gaze and immediately retorted, "How many women in the ninja world get married in their teens? At your age, if you were an ordinary person, your children would be old enough to buy soy sauce."
"Hurry up and find a man to marry, you big-breasted cow!"
"..."
Tsunade was stunned and stopped for a moment.
The seemingly cold but actually gentle Konan was now so fierce?
No, wait, what did she call me?
Tsunade was speechless. She immediately clenched her fists and glared at Konan.
"You little girl, am I that old! I'm only in my early twenties!"
"...Anyway, you're older than me."
Konan muttered weakly and immediately changed the subject.
"The Village Hidden in the Sand has discovered us. Get ready to meet the enemy."
"Meet the enemy? Watch me blast them to death!"
The angry Tsunade was not to be trifled with. Seeing some Sand ninja jumping around in the distance, she immediately erupted with a powerful spiritual power, and a storm formed around her.
"Monstrous Strength Fist!"
Schrift: The Power, erupted.
A blazing air cannon was swung out by Tsunade, which rushed towards the Village Hidden in the Sand with incomparable ferocity, tearing a huge gash along the way.
"Ah, that's..."
The Sand ninja patrolling on the high wall outside the Village Hidden in the Sand suddenly saw a strong storm attacking.
Before they could react.
With a boom, the high wall where the Sand ninja were was blasted apart.
The Sand ninja were all sent flying, and the huge roar alarmed the entire Village Hidden in the Sand.
"What's that sound?"
The aftershock of the storm formed by the broken high wall blew sand into the Kazekage's office through the window, which immediately alerted the Third Kazekage.
The Kazekage's building was the tallest. When the Third Kazekage looked out at the collapsed high wall, his expression changed drastically.
"...An earthquake!"
"Lord Kazekage, it's bad! Two people from the Wandenreich have invaded!"
Following a Jonin's report, the Third Kazekage instantly disappeared from the spot.
The alarm was sounded, and everyone was awakened.
Outside the Village Hidden in the Sand.
"Sister Tsunade, your power is getting stronger and stronger..."
Looking at the gash that stretched for more than a thousand meters, Konan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Good thing I changed the subject. Otherwise, if Tsunade had flicked my forehead, wouldn't I have been seriously injured?
"Right? I smashed a mountain yesterday."
Tsunade clenched her fists, quite satisfied. Although her strength was not bad in the past, it was far from what it was now.
The Schrift, The Power, not only gave her terrifying strength, but also continuously strengthened her physique, multiplying her taijutsu geometrically. In the future, she would only become stronger and stronger.
Hearing this, Konan said softly, "If this goes on, it will be even harder for you to get married..."
Tsunade glared, "?"
"Huh? What's that?"
By chance, a bird carrying a piece of paper flew over, which attracted the attention of the two women.
The bird dissipated when it got close to the two women, leaving only a piece of paper.
"A bird made of spirit particles, for sending messages..."
Konan took the paper and looked at it. The corner of her eye twitched:
"On the 3rd of January of the first year of the Wandenreich, the Village Hidden in the Sand sent a congratulatory gift of ten million ryo, which was less than one hundred million ryo. They borrowed ninety million ryo from the empire."
"An IOU from the empire, the debt doubles every day, and all debts must be repaid!"
"Deputy Minister of Finance of the Wandenreich: Kakuzu!"
"..."
Konan and Tsunade looked at each other.
Minister Kakuzu was really conscientious.
Seeing many figures rushing over, Tsunade took the IOU and said, "Konan, go and capture the One-Tail. I'll take care of these people."
"Okay, Sister Tsunade. Be careful..."
