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

Samehada immediately trembled: Don't come any closer!

"Tell me first, what brings you here? Don't tell me you just happened to be passing by." Tsunade temporarily put the money issue aside.

Anyway, she didn't have any money in the first place.

Feng Qi leaned back in his chair, mimicking her posture. After a slight pause, he said expressionlessly, "The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is dead."

"Oh, I thought it was something big. It's just that the Third Hokage died. What did you say? Hiruzen-sensei died?!"

Tsunade, realizing what was happening, sobered up instantly, slamming her hands on the table and staring incredulously into Feng Qi's eyes.

The empty wine bottle on the table was shaken off and fell to the ground with a crisp "clink-clink" sound.

During this time, Tsunade and Shizune lived a secluded life, spending their time gambling, drinking, or skipping out on meals, completely unaware of the dramatic changes taking place in the ninja world.

"It's a lie, it's a lie, the Third Hokage actually..."

Shizune covered her mouth in horror, unable to accept this fact for a moment.

The Third Hokage was a Kage-level powerhouse known as the "Professor of Ninja," and he lived in the heavily guarded Konoha. Who could possibly have killed him?

"You really don't know anything."

The two's reactions were within Feng Qi's expectations. He casually picked up the half-finished sake bottle in front of Tsunade, took a sip, and said calmly, "It was Orochimaru who did it. He joined forces with Otogakure and Sunagakure to launch a devastating attack on Konoha during the Chunin Exams."

boom! !

A simple sentence almost caused Tsunade to lose control of her emotions, unleashing an incredibly terrifying chakra aura that shook the entire tavern like a lone boat on a stormy sea.

After sitting there for a while, Tsunade finally regained some composure.

"I see. That bastard Orochimaru has wanted to do something like this for a long time..."

She tried to maintain a smile, but the murderous intent flowing deep in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was her mentor, as was Orochimaru. She simply couldn't accept that her once close partner would commit such an act of killing their teacher and destroying the village!

"How is Konoha now?" she asked in a deep voice.

"The situation is barely stable now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future," Feng Qi said calmly.

Tsunade suppressed her killing intent, her mind instinctively turning to a disgusting person.

"Isn't Shimura Danzo a bastard who always says he's doing everything for the village? Shouldn't he be the one jumping the gun at times like this?"

The atmosphere at the table suddenly fell silent.

He didn't have that opportunity.

Feng Qi put down the wine jug with lipstick residue on it, wiped his mouth, and said expressionlessly, "He insisted on coming to cause me trouble, so I had no choice but to send him to see Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"You bastard!!"

After the initial shock, Tsunade suddenly sprang up, grabbed Fuuki by the collar, and pulled him close to her.

Their eyes met, no more than a finger's width apart.

Feng Qi could even smell the foul stench of alcohol emanating from deep within Tsunade's nostrils.

He didn't resist or struggle, but simply stared calmly into Tsunade's eyes.

A few seconds later, Tsunade let go of her hand and sat back down as if all her strength had been drained.

Danzo deserved to die, and even Hiruzen-sensei wronged Hyuga Fuuki.

Having long decided to completely withdraw from the ninja world and not concern herself with anything, she had neither the right nor the appropriate status to question the other party about why they failed to save her in her time of need.

To be honest, as a rogue ninja who was forcibly forced out of the village, it was already a mercy that he didn't take the opportunity to destroy Konoha!

Tsunade, who had fought against Feng Qi, was well aware of his strength.

A flood of emotions and memories overwhelmed her, and even Tsunade's eyes reddened. She grabbed the sake bottle on the table and started chugging, trying to numb herself with alcohol.

The silent person next to her wanted to speak up and offer advice, but didn't know how to put her words into words.

"You came here for more than just to tell me this news, didn't you?"

Tsunade looked dejected and awkwardly slumped on the table. The issue of her breasts, which had once bothered her so much, suddenly seemed less important.

"That's right, I came to see you for another reason."

Feng Qi straightened up slightly and said seriously, "Lady Tsunade, I want to establish a new ninja village, and I need your help."

I'll take a shower and work overtime to catch up on what I missed yesterday; it might be quite late.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 97 The First Shadow of the Land of Demons!

To establish a new ninja village?

At a time like this?

Tsunade was visibly surprised; in her memory, Hyuga Fuuki wasn't the type to do such troublesome things.

Her intuition told her that this favor was definitely not small, and it might even be something she could do for a lifetime!

"I'm not interested. I've long since stopped caring about anything in the ninja world."

Tsunade, having recovered from her surprise, continued to lazily lie on the table.

"Don't refuse so quickly. I can give you a reward you absolutely can't refuse," Feng Qi said confidently, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead.

"It's a pity that I no longer exist in this world..."

Tsunade was about to refuse as a matter of course when her pupils suddenly contracted as she caught sight of Feng Qi's flawless forehead. "Wait, your Caged Bird Seal is gone?!"

As the most recognizable cursed seal of the Hyuga clan's branch family, she had heard about it by chance from Hashirama Senju when she was very young. It was something that once it was applied, there was no way to break it.

Even my grandfather, who was known as the God of Shinobi, said this. Why did Hyuga Fuuki's Caged Bird disappear?

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. She was absolutely certain that it wasn't some kind of ninjutsu that concealed her appearance, but rather Hyuga Fuuki's truest form!

"It took some effort to get rid of that thing. After all, I was originally a rogue ninja who was exiled, and I have no connection with the Hyuga clan anymore."

Feng Qi's words further solidified Tsunade's suspicions.

"Just how many secrets do you have on your body..." Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim.

Is it really possible to do something like this just with the special Byakugan after awakening?!

"Instead of that, let's talk about the compensation we just mentioned."

After a slight pause, Feng Qi looked into Tsunade's eyes and slowly said, "Lady Tsunade, if you wish, I can let you see your sacrificed loved ones one last time."

Although the Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques, there are quite a few people in the Shinobi World Association, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain and master it now.

At worst, one can still ask questions through the interior.

"What did you say?!"

Tsunade became agitated again and abruptly stood up from her seat.

The deaths of her lover, Kato Dan, and her younger brother, Nawaki, have always been an insurmountable obstacle in her heart, and are the root cause of her hemophobia as a medical ninja.

"You should know about the forbidden ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to this world, the Impure World Reincarnation."

Seeing that Tsunade showed no sign of doubt, Feng Qi continued, "Although I personally don't really like this kind of blasphemous technique, Lady Tsunade, if you really want to see them more often, I can help you achieve that."

Even if you don't grant my request in the end.

That's true. After all, Feng Qi didn't have any ill feelings towards Tsunade, and fulfilling her wish was just a casual thing to do.

Furthermore, if Tsunade ultimately chooses the same Naruto route as in the original work, it would be a good deed for her, and it would also be a way to annoy Orochimaru, who hasn't come looking for her yet.

A business that guarantees profits.

As for the living sacrifices needed for the Impure World Reincarnation, there are plenty of death row inmates in the Land of Demons.

Feng Qi's words left Tsunade bewildered, and she buried her head deeply in her chest muscles.

Does she want to see her brother and lover one more time and pour out the words she couldn't say in her heart?

I want it, I dream about it!

but……

As Feng Qi said, the Impure World Reincarnation is a technique that forcibly pulls back the soul and desecrates the dead. To achieve this, Kato Dan and Nawaki's corpses must be dug up again!

After a long silence, with incredibly complex emotions, Tsunade gently shook her head and parted her red lips slightly.

"Thank you, Feng Qi, but let's not disturb their rest."

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" she said, turning the conversation to him.

Thanks to the sincerity Feng Qi had just shown, she decided to listen to his thoughts.

This is actually the reason why Feng Qi brought up the Impure World Reincarnation: he knows Tsunade's personality and temperament too well!

"It's very simple, Lady Tsunade. I plan to establish a ninja village in the Land of Demons, and I hope you can serve as its first Kage."

Tsunade: "..." You call this simple?!

"Mute, let's go."

Without hesitation, she stood up, ignoring the mentally unstable Feng Qi, and prepared to leave the tavern with Jingyin.

"Lady Tsunade, how long do you intend to hide?"

Feng Qi calmly called out to Tsunade, "In the near future, a great war that will sweep across the entire ninja world is inevitable. At that time, do you think you can still remain uninvolved as you are now?"

"Konoha has long since rotted from the roots, and there is no place for you in other villages or countries. Do you really want to watch your former friends and family die one by one in the merciless flames of war again?"

These words struck at the most sensitive spot in Tsunade's heart. She turned back with murderous intent and grabbed Feng Qi's clothes again.

"Don't give me that entitled look, and don't push me to lay a hand on you. You're decades too young to lecture me!"

She genuinely admired Feng Qi, her junior, and quite liked his easygoing and carefree nature.

But he couldn't tolerate that someone who hadn't even experienced the cruelty of the Ninja World War could say such a thing so calmly!

"Lady Tsunade, this is not a pointless fantasy, but a fact that I have personally foreseen." Feng Qi remained calm.

"Many people know that the priestesses of the Land of Demons have the ability to foresee death, but they don't know that the priestesses and the demons are actually one and the same."

He naturally couldn't reveal that he was a transmigrator who knew about the development of the ninja world, so he chose a way that would convince Tsunade.
