Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

In the Hokage's office, warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

Tsunade sat behind her desk, tapping her fingers lightly on the surface as she looked at the arrest warrant for "Finance Chief" Kakuzu.

She knew that this task was a piece of cake for Qianxuan.

What she was really worried about was another problem that bothered him even more.

"The Land of Water, is it?"

She looked up and her gaze fell on Qianxuan's face.

Qian Xuan was slowly pouring himself tea when he heard this. He paused, holding the teapot, and looked up.

His face wore its usual smile:

"Yeah, let's go check it out while we're at it, since there are quite a few 'talented people' there."

"Talent?"

Tsunade snorted coldly, leaned forward, and placed her hands on the table, folded together.

All I know is that you went there last time and suddenly found yourself with a 'fiancée'.

Qian Xuan raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying. He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"You're really getting more and more outrageous these days."

Tsunade's voice lowered, carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

"Do you remember the first time you asked me for a favor? You were so careful, afraid of saying something wrong and upsetting me."

She recalled that Qianxuan back then, with meager chakra reserves, yet always trying to survive in the cracks.

At that time, he was so cautious, taking each step as if walking on thin ice.

But now, he possesses power surpassing that of the Five Kage, and his actions have become increasingly capricious, even somewhat... arrogant.

Qianxuan put down his teacup, walked to Tsunade's side, and reached out to gently massage her tense shoulders and neck.

"That's not being overly cautious, that's respect."

His tone was gentle, with a hint of ingratiation.

"Besides, times have changed. Now that I'm stronger, I can better protect you and Konoha."

Tsunade closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of his palm, and her anger subsided considerably.

She knew that Qianxuan was telling the truth; his strength was indeed Konoha's greatest asset at present.

But this power also made him reckless.

"Tell me, besides capturing Kakuzu, who else do you want to bring back from the Land of Water this time?"

She asked, her voice tinged with helplessness.

Qianxuan smiled.

He knew that Tsunade could always see through his thoughts.

"The Land of Water..."

He pondered for a moment, his thoughts drifting into the distance.

"There's a Hidden Mist ninja there named Zabuza Momochi. He's a decent swordsman, about the same age as Kakashi. I think the two of them should get along well. Oh! And there's a child named Haku, who has extraordinary talent and can use Ice Release."

Tsunade opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly.

Zabuza Momochi?

White?

Konoha has no detailed information about these two people.

"Anything else?"

She asked.

"There's another one, a child named Kimimaro."

Qianxuan's tone became somewhat serious.

"The strength of possessing the Shikotsumyaku and Kekkei Genkai is enough to make Orochimaru obsessed."

Tsunade listened, and a thought struck her.

Corpse Bone Pulse?

That is indeed a rare and powerful bloodline limit.

She recalled Orochimaru's obsession with Hashirama cells; obtaining a sample of Shikotsumyaku would undoubtedly be a huge help to his research.

"What are you planning to do?"

She asked.

"Of course, it's the 'Talent Introduction Program'."

As Qianxuan spoke, he increased the pressure on his hand.

"If Konoha wants to develop, it cannot remain stagnant. These children with special abilities, if given the right guidance, can all become pillars of Konoha in the future."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of seduction:

"Think about it, one has mastered Ice Release, and the other possesses the Corpse Bone Pulse. Once they multiply and thrive in our Konoha..."

Tsunade looked at him with a complicated expression.

She knew that Qianxuan was telling the truth.

"Aren't you afraid they'll become a threat once they arrive in Konoha?"

Tsunade asked.

"Hidden dangers?"

Qianxuan chuckled softly, gently stroking her earlobe with his fingers.

"With me watching over them, what hidden dangers could there be? Besides, they are all children abandoned by the world. As long as they are given a home and a sense of belonging, they will be more loyal than anyone else."

He spoke so casually, yet Tsunade couldn't refute him.

She thought of the orphans who had been taken in by Konoha.

Although Qianxuan's philosophy sounds somewhat idealistic, it does have its merits.

"As for Kakuzu..."

Qian Xuan changed the subject, his tone becoming much more casual.

"I plan to go and 'invite' that old guy back. He's had no other ambition in life than money. Give him some money, beat him up, and he'll behave himself."

Tsunade was so angry at Qianxuan's "brutal" plan that she almost laughed.

This isn't "inviting," it's clearly "robbing."

But she also knew that with Qianxuan's current strength and Kakuzu's personality, this was indeed the simplest and most effective method.

"So, your plan for this business trip is to bring back to Konoha a 'financial chief,' a swordsman, an ice-style ninja, and a user of the Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit?"

Tsunade concluded.

"That's right."

Qianxuan smiled brightly.

"How about that? Isn't that visionary? Think about it, Konoha's finances will be overseen by that old stingy Kakuzu; Zabuza and Haku will be charging into battle on the battlefield; and in Orochimaru's laboratory, Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku will provide research directions..."

He paused, then leaned close to Tsunade's ear, lowering his voice even further:

"Furthermore, Mei Terumi from the Land of Water is also a good choice. She is a ninja with two bloodline limits. If we can 'bring' her over as well, our gene pool will be even stronger."

Tsunade suddenly opened her eyes and slammed her fist on the table with a loud "bang".

"Shuoye Qianxuan!"

She roared.

Qianxuan's arm was shaken off by her, but he just smiled and did not back down at all.

He knew that although Tsunade was cursing him, she had already tacitly approved of his plan.

"I will approve the funding for you."

Tsunade took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"But I'm warning you, you better behave yourself this time in the Land of Water! Don't cause any more trouble! Especially..."

Her gaze was fixed on Qian Xuan, her tone full of warning:

"Stay away from that woman named Mei Terumi!"

Qianxuan raised his hands, looking completely innocent.

"Yes, sir! Hokage!"

His tone was respectful, but his face held a hint of smugness.

Looking at his smug expression, Tsunade could only sigh helplessly in the end.

She knew that with Qianxuan's current strength, all she could do was offer these earnest instructions.

As for what he will do, she can only leave it to fate.

"Go."

Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

"Remember to bring that old bastard Kakuzu back to me unharmed. Our Konoha's finances depend on him."

Qianxuan smiled, turned around and walked out of the office.

He knew that this trip to the Water Kingdom would be very interesting.

He wanted to help those geniuses forgotten by the world find their place in Konoha.

He also wanted that greedy old man to dedicate all his "passion" to the future of Konoha.

Of course, as for that woman who possesses two bloodline limits...

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Qianxuan's lips.

He will "do his best" to complete the tasks assigned by Tsunade.

But some "accidents" are beyond his control.

After all, Konoha's talent recruitment plan requires a two-pronged approach, with both aspects being equally strong.
