After Tsunade and Kushina saw Mikoto close the main door, their hearts began to race.
Kushina was a bit better off. After all, she had already experienced Yūsuke's capabilities, so the sudden move didn't frighten her as much.
For Tsunade, however, her heart pounded rapidly.
"Tsunade, why is your heart beating so fast?" Yūsuke looked at her with interest. A slight smile curled at the corners of his mouth, giving him the appearance of someone about to devour her.
Tsunade clenched her fists. If he really did, then she would... A sense of powerlessness washed over her once again.
"Alright, now let me give you all a good lesson." Yūsuke stood up leisurely and looked at Tsunade, "Let's continue our previous topic. I ask you: How can we bring peace to the entire ninja world? I want three different answers from you three. Tsunade, you go first."
Tsunade collected herself and said, "It's still my previous idea. If everyone is evenly matched, it will create a situation of mutual restraint. Peace will naturally follow."
"Mikoto, it's your turn." Yūsuke said, turning to her.
Mikoto took a deep breath and said softly, "We should have all the major clans and hidden villages put aside their past grievances and coexist peacefully. Everyone should open their hearts, so we can exchange sincerity for sincerity. This way, we can truly coexist in peace."
Yūsuke nodded with a smile.
It was a naive idea, but if such idealistic people existed, peace might naturally follow. Unfortunately, the naive often pay dearly for their innocence.
"Kushina." He turned to the red-haired woman.
Kushina pouted and said, "Obviously, it must be resolved through force. Each hidden village has a Kage to govern it, and the Kages keep each other in check. That's how peace will come."
After listening, Yūsuke gently clapped his hands.
"Your three answers share one thing in common — contentment with the status quo. How unfortunate. You've missed the current reality. Let me ask you: After I destroyed Kumogakure, didn't Konoha, Iwa, and Suna immediately set aside their differences and form an alliance against me?"
"Doesn't their alliance create a stable, peaceful situation?" He smiled slowly, "As long as I remain a threat, won't their alliance persist?"
Hearing this, Tsunade and the other women's faces showed a hint of realization.
In fact, Tsunade was the most shocked! After witnessing Yūsuke's terrifying power, her first action upon returning to the Leaf Village was to advise against going to war with Kiri!
This was her most heartfelt proposal.
"Therefore, true peace won't come naturally. Without a formidable enemy like me, uniting the ninja world as it stands would be mere fantasy. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen the First, Second, and even Third Ninja World Wars."
Yūsuke smiled faintly, "I will overturn all past concepts of peace. True peace can only be achieved under the pressure of an absolutely powerful moving force. What you mentioned about mutual restraint and checks between Kages is ultimately temporary. It's not as effective as my single visit to Konoha."
"I will gradually control the Five Great Nations, then all the surrounding hidden villages, and finally, the entire world. Only when the whole world has an absolutely powerful unifying force can it truly unite."
After he finished speaking, Mikoto's eyes gleamed with admiration.
She was increasingly discovering this man's charm. Through their long interaction, she had truly realized that Yūsuke treated his villagers and subordinates with the utmost care and consideration.
That's why he could instill such strong cohesion and execution in Kirigakure!
Even Mikoto herself had transformed from his initial captive to his servant, and now, her heart had completely become his possession. This kind of man was starting to fascinate her.
Of course, there was an even bigger reason — her body and mind had been thoroughly conquered by Yūsuke!
"Unify the Five Great Nations? You even want to unify the entire ninja world?" Tsunade now looked at him with shock.
Was this man's ambition truly so enormous? The key is, one's ambition must match one's strength... His strength seemed even greater than his ambition!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but swallow. An extremely absurd thought suddenly appeared in her mind!
This man might actually be able to accomplish those things he said! At present, it just needed time to slowly verify!
"What's your next move?" Tsunade asked.
"First, I'll turn Konoha and the Land of Fire into my possessions." Yusuke said with a faint smile. He silently calculated in his mind, "Hmm... after a preliminary estimate, it should take quite some time. Probably about two months... or maybe three."
He paused for a moment, then added, "The time is indeed a bit long."
Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief. He wants to completely take over Konohagakure in just two or three months? How dare he even think that!
"Tsunade, let's make a bet, you and I." Yusuke looked at the stunned woman and clicked his tongue.
"Bet on what?" As soon as Tsunade heard the word "bet", her interest was piqued.
"Let's bet on whether I can completely turn the Leaf Village and the Land of Fire into my possessions within three months." He smiled lightly, "If I win, I want you to give yourself to me willingly. After all, I don't like it when it's passive. And it's not good for you either."
"!!!" Tsunade's eyes widened further at his outrageous demand.
[ Ding! Tsunade's anger towards you has risen again! Congratulations, host has gained 10,000 Villain Points! ]
"Stop glaring at me." Yusuke sighed and sat back down, "Tell me, if you win, what reward do you want? Let's be clear upfront. Removing the collar and escaping from me are non-negotiable."
Tsunade's light brown eyes filled with contemplation. She quickly said, "Let's be clear! You can't deploy a single soldier from Kirigakure, wage war against Konoha, or use the same method you used with the Land of Lightning to achieve your goal."
"Don't worry." Yusuke said with a light smile, "The entire process will take three months. Just me alone."
Tsunade immediately added, "Then you also can't harm the ordinary villagers and ninjas of the Leaf Village! Otherwise... if you were to massacre the village alone for three months... you could also achieve the control you mentioned..."
She didn't want to admit it, but if he were to rely on his own strength to carry out this massacre, three months would be more than enough for him.
"Don't worry. I absolutely won't use large-scale force, and I definitely won't massacre civilians." Yusuke continued with a smile, "How about it? Anything else you need to add?"
Tsunade took a deep breath, then said, "Alright. I'll bet with you. If I lose... I'll... I'll... I'll give myself to you willingly!"
She then gritted her teeth.
"But if I win, you have to give each of us sisters a bottle of eternal youth potion! Plus, you can't restrict me from going to gambling houses!"
Yusuke clicked his tongue and said, "Tsunade, you really are the greediest woman I've ever met."
"Hmph..." Tsunade folded her arms and let out a light snort.
"However, I like greedy women." He grinned, "I agree to your terms."
Yusuke looked at Tsunade with great interest.
"Ah... I'm really looking forward to your performance three months from now!"
Hearing this, she looked at him with gritted teeth!
Beside them, Mikoto and Kushina's faces also turned slightly red.
After all, it seemed that even Lady Tsunade couldn't escape the Master's clutches.
