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

The gates of Konoha Village are visible in the distance.

That familiar, massive rock wall, carved with the portraits of Hokage from past generations, appeared to Yekura like a monstrous beast ready to devour its prey, exuding a sense of oppression.

Her steps grew heavier and heavier.

I said,

Qian Xuan walked ahead without turning his head, his voice tinged with impatience.

"Looking at you, anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to a funeral. Relax, smile."

Ye Cang twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that was even uglier than crying.

Qianxuan clicked his tongue, too lazy to bother with her anymore.

As the two approached the village entrance, the two Chunin guarding the gate immediately stood at attention.

"Qianxuan? You're back."

One of them visibly relaxed upon seeing Qian Xuan, but his gaze quickly fell on the hooded woman behind him, whose aura was unfamiliar.

"And this is...?"

"The Hokage wants to see the personnel brought back from the mission."

Qianxuan casually made up a sentence, his tone as flat as if he were saying, "I ate ramen for lunch today."

The two Chunin exchanged a glance and didn't ask any more questions.

Shuoye Qianxuan.

This name has recently become very well-known in the village.

He became a god after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, a hero who single-handedly turned the tide of the battle.

Although he usually seems carefree and irresponsible, no one dares to mistake him for an ordinary ninja.

"please."

The gate was open.

Ye Cang followed Qian Xuan and stepped into the heart of this former enemy country.

The streets were bustling with people, full of life, with children's laughter and vendors' cries, forming a stark contrast to the deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere of Kirigakure.

She thought Qianxuan would take her directly to the most conspicuous Hokage Building.

But he turned onto a secluded side street.

"Shouldn't we go see the Hokage first?"

Yecang finally couldn't help but speak, her voice filled with unease.

"What's the rush?"

Qianxuan glanced at her.

"Meeting that old man is just a formality. Before that, I need to report to my wife."

Home...leader?

The absurd title resurfaced in Yecang's mind.

……

The Thousand Hands Mansion.

It's quieter and more impressive here than anywhere else in the village.

Ye Cang followed behind Qian Xuan through the long corridor, each step feeling like walking on clouds, unreal.

Qianxuan pushed open the door to a study with practiced ease.

Inside the room, a blonde woman sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, gazing out the window in a daze.

She was dressed in simple casual clothes, but her powerful aura, born of long-standing authority, made the air in the room feel somewhat heavy.

Tsunade.

Ye Cang's heart skipped a beat.

Hearing the door open, Tsunade turned around. When she saw Sengen, a hint of relaxation flashed in her beautiful brown eyes, but it was quickly replaced by intense irritation.

"So you finally decided to come back?"

Her gaze then passed over Qian Xuan and landed on Ye Cang behind him.

With just one glance, Tsunade's expression changed.

It was a sharpness that mixed surprise, scrutiny, and extreme danger.

"The hero of Sunagakure, the scorching release user, Pakura."

Tsunade spoke slowly, her voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

"Qianxuan, give me an explanation."

The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

"Well, that's a long story."

Qian Xuanguan walked up to Tsunade and, with a playful grin, tried to pinch her shoulder.

Tsunade slapped his hand away and gestured for him to speak quickly.

"Here's what happened."

Qian Xuan cleared his throat and began his carefully prepared report.

He first briefly recounted how he bravely and fearlessly destroyed the port of Kirigakure, completing the S-rank mission assigned by the Third Hokage.

Then, the conversation shifted.

"Just when I was preparing to retire gracefully and keep my achievements hidden, I inadvertently discovered a shocking conspiracy."

Qianxuan's expression turned serious, and he looked like a famous detective who had discovered a shocking secret.

He embellished the story of how Sunagakure used Pakura as a pawn in order to reach an agreement with Kirigakure, tricked her into going to the Land of Water, and then used Kirigakure to get rid of her.

Of course, he cleverly omitted his glorious deeds of giving Yekura cupping therapy on the ship and teasing the future Fifth Mizukage in Kirigakure.

He portrayed himself as a hero full of a sense of justice, who would help those in need and rescue the poor woman.

"...That's how it is."

Qian Xuan shrugged, his face showing an expression that said, "Look how righteous I am."

"What Sunagakure did was so underhanded that even I, an outsider, couldn't stand it. So, I just picked her up."

Tsunade remained silent.

She listened quietly, her sharp eyes scanning back and forth between Qianxuan and Yecang.

I instantly understood the immense value behind this matter.

The power struggles within Sunagakure, the ruthless tactics of the Fourth Kazekage, and... a high-level combatant who has lost his home and possesses a powerful bloodline limit.

"Your business trip was definitely worthwhile."

Tsunade looked at Sengen, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"That's right."

Qianxuan's tail instantly perked up.

"Don't you even know who I am?"

Tsunade ignored him and turned her gaze back to Yekura.

Throughout, Yekura remained like a statue, standing still and silent.

She could feel Tsunade's gaze, so tangible, as if she wanted to see right through her, inside and out.

"Is everything he said true?"

Tsunade asked.

Ye Cang's body trembled slightly.

She nodded.

Tsunade remained silent for a moment.

She stood up and walked to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang subconsciously tensed her body; a powerful instinct made her feel a deadly threat.

Tsunade simply reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Those three simple words were like a warm current, instantly shattering the high wall of betrayal and despair that Ye Cang had built in his heart.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"This is Konoha, not Sunagakure."

Tsunade withdrew her hand, her voice regaining its usual assertiveness.

"As long as you're here, no one can touch you. I'll talk to the old man about this myself."

She glanced at Qian Xuan and added another sentence.

"You can stay here for now; there are plenty of empty rooms."

Qianxuan immediately came over, winking at Yecang, his face full of smugness, as if to say, "See? I didn't lie to you."

"Did you hear that? My future wife has spoken. From now on, you're part of our family. Don't worry, with me protecting you, you can do whatever you want in Konoha."

Yekura: "..."

The vein on Tsunade's forehead throbbed uncontrollably.

She turned her head sharply, her eyes burning with rage as she stared intently at Qian Xuan.

"Shuoye Qianxuan!"

"What did you just call me?"

"My future wife."

Qianxuan looked completely innocent.

"What's wrong? Didn't we agree that I'd wait until I could beat you..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, a teacup flew past his scalp, smashed against the wall, and shattered into pieces.

"Get out of here!"

"Okay."

Qianxuan turned and ran nimbly. Reaching the door, he didn't forget to turn back and make a face at Yecang.

"See? This is how she expresses love. Don't copy her."

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared outside the door.

Only Tsunade and Yekura remained in the study.

Tsunade's chest heaved violently; she was clearly furious.

She took a few deep breaths before forcibly suppressing her anger and regaining her composure.

She looked at Ye Cang, who was still standing there in a daze, and sighed.

"Ignore that bastard."

"He's not mentally sound."

Yecang looked at Tsunade, then thought about the man who had fled in panic earlier, her mind a complete mess.

She felt that her mind was about to go awry.

This madman who claims to be "Tsunade's future husband" talks nonsense, but what he said... actually came true.
