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

The sun was shining brightly on the second day of their marriage.

Qianxuan, unusually, didn't stay in bed and was energetically helping Tsunade loosen the soil in the small herb garden she had just cultivated in the courtyard.

Tsunade, dressed in simple home clothes, sat on the veranda, drinking hot tea and instructing him on how much force to use so as not to damage the delicate roots of the herbs.

The scene was as heartwarming as a painting.

"Speaking of which, that Black Zetsu you mentioned yesterday... does it really exist?"

Tsunade still couldn't quite connect that creation myth with reality.

"certainly."

Qianxuan turned over the last handful of soil, clapped his hands, and

"Would you like to see him? I'll have him pay his respects to you."

"Greetings?"

Qianxuan didn't answer, but just smiled, and then gently stomped his foot on the empty ground.

The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Without warning, the ground beneath his feet turned into a pool of writhing, black, viscous liquid, like petroleum.

Immediately afterwards, a human-shaped silhouette made of pure black matter slowly rose from the pool of liquid.

It has no facial features, only a single spiral-shaped eye that seems capable of swallowing all light.

"My lord."

The humanoid figure knelt on one knee facing Qian Xuan, its voice hoarse as if two pieces of sandpaper were rubbing together.

Tsunade's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

This is... the mastermind behind the plot that has been going on for over a thousand years?

Why does it look like a lump of coal that was just unearthed?

"This is the mistress."

Qianxuan pointed to Tsunade and introduced her.

Black Zetsu immediately turned to Tsunade, burying his head deeply in her hands, in a posture more humble than that of the most devout believer.

"May the mistress be well."

Tsunade: "..."

She suddenly felt that this title sounded much cooler than "Lord Hokage".

"My lord, you summoned me. Are you preparing to begin our millennia-long plan to collect the Tailed Beasts?"

Black Zetsu's voice carried an barely suppressed, fervent excitement.

"If we can gather all nine tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails, we can..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt the temperature around him suddenly drop to freezing.

A chilling aura, more piercing than a ten-thousand-year-old glacier, locked onto him.

Black Zetsu froze.

He slowly raised his head and saw the "mistress" who had just been so kind; now, in those beautiful brown eyes...

There was no warmth left, only a chilling light that could freeze him to dust.

"Tailed beast, collection, plan?"

Tsunade spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice as calm as the sea before a storm.

Qianxuan's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

It’s over.

Now even jumping into the Yellow River won't clear my name.

"Wife! Let me explain! This is a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

Qianxuan rushed to Tsunade's side in one stride, his survival instinct instantly kicking in.

"Misunderstand?"

Tsunade glanced at him, her gaze as if she were looking at a dead man.

"Really! I swear!"

Qianxuan raised three fingers, his face full of confidence.

"When did I ever say I wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts? Do you think I, Sakuya Chigen, am the kind of person who would do anything for power?!"

"So what are you and him planning? Are you playing house?"

"I……"

Qian Xuan was speechless for a moment, but in a moment of inspiration, he pointed at Hei Jue's nose and cursed:

"You good-for-nothing! What did I ask you to do? I asked you to find out the locations of the private vaults of the various daimyo and wealthy merchants! What are you talking about with the mistress about tailed beasts?!"

Black Zetsu was completely bewildered by the insults.

He pondered that the intelligence work of the past few years had all revolved around the military deployment and economic lifeline of the major ninja villages, hadn't it?

When did it turn into looking for a vault?

However, the Lord's words are sacred decrees.

Black Zetsu immediately kowtowed repeatedly.

"Yes! It was my foolishness! I deserve to die! My lord only instructed me to investigate the wealth of mortals; it was I who acted on my own initiative, thinking that my lord was interested in those chakra aggregates! Please forgive me, my lord and mistress!"

Tsunade watched the master and servant, one scolding righteously and the other admitting their mistakes decisively. Their cooperation was simply seamless.

Of course she didn't believe it.

But then she thought about it again: in the past three years, the treasuries of various famous figures and wealthy merchants had been emptied one after another...

So, the root of the problem lies here?

Tsunade felt a throbbing sensation in her temples.

After all that, this mastermind who had been plotting for a thousand years was being used by this man as a treasure-hunting radar.

This feels like using the legendary Kusanagi sword to chop minced meat in the kitchen.

What a waste!

"Alright, you can leave now."

Seeing that Tsunade's expression had softened a bit, Qianxuan quickly gave Hei Zetsu a wink.

"Yes, my lord."

Black Zetsu felt as if he had been granted a pardon; his figure once again turned into a puddle of black mud, merging into the ground and disappearing without a trace.

The courtyard returned to its tranquility.

Qianxuan cautiously approached Tsunade and tentatively asked:

"Honey, are you still angry?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said irritably:

"Why am I angry? I was just thinking, if Konoha's finances run into trouble in the future, could we just send you to other countries to 'beg for alms'?"

"Absolutely!"

Qianxuan patted his chest and guaranteed,

"I guarantee I'll make you a fortune every time!"

Tsunade was so angry at his shameless behavior that she laughed.

She leaned back in her chair, watching the clouds drift across the sky, and suddenly felt that the so-called creator god and the so-called millennium conspiracy had all become a farce in front of this man.

Perhaps, this is not bad.

"You said before that you would take me out for a walk."

Tsunade suddenly spoke, changing the subject.

"certainly!"

Qianxuan's eyes lit up.

"Have you decided where you want to go?"

Tsunade shook her head.

She has been to too many places and seen too many sights in her life.

For a moment, I really couldn't think of any particular place I wanted to go.

"That……"

Qianxuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then revealed a somewhat wicked smile.

"Honey, how about our honeymoon trip, starting with the moon?"

Tsunade: "?"

She doubted she had heard correctly.

"Where did you say...to go?"

"The moon," Qianxuan said matter-of-factly.

"It's that place in the sky. The place where the Sage of Six Paths sealed his mother."

Tsunade's mouth was agape, her mind completely blank.

She felt that her thoughts were a little out of sync with this man's train of thought.

Other people's honeymoons involve going to the beach, snow-capped mountains, and sightseeing.

Is your own honeymoon trip to the moon to unseal a creator god-level, great demon?

What kind of hellish itinerary is this?

"Perfect."

Qian Xuan seemed oblivious to her horrified expression and continued speaking to himself.

"Let that old woman out and get rid of her once and for all, so she won't pop up again and disturb our time together."

The tone was so relaxed, as if he were saying, "Let's stop by the market on our way and buy a cabbage."

Tsunade looked at him for a long time before finally letting out a long breath.

She suddenly felt that the goddess of the rabbit, who had been sealed away for thousands of years, was somewhat pitiful.
