"Gulp gulp..."
As Tsunade and Kushinaquickly drank the Elixir of Eternal Youth, pink energy surged through their bodies. In an instant, all the cells in their bodies frantically activated. They achieved their youngest, most peak state!
The changes were evident. Their skin tightened and became fairer. Their beauty skyrocketed to perfection!
"This is truly amazing! How can it be so miraculous?" Tsunade exclaimed, utterly shocked.
As a professional medical ninja, she had researched such things before. Without exception, they had all ended in failure!
This time, however, she could tangibly feel the active changes in her body's cells. From now on, her body would forever maintain its peak, beautiful state!
Eternal youth — truly deserving of the name!
"If only I could research the formula for this, I could sell it directly! One bottle could easily fetch 30 to 50 million ryo! That would be a fortune!" Tsunade's eyes gleamed with greed, "Once I have that much money, I can go on a rampage at the gambling houses!"
She put her hands on her hips, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.
Watching Tsunade laugh so hard her body shook, Mikoto and Kushina couldn't help but shake their heads.
Tsunade was fine in every other way, except for one thing: she was a money fiend! And an extremely severe case at that!
Luckily, Yūsuke was wealthy beyond measure, so she could spend as she pleased. Otherwise, an ordinary person really couldn't withstand her extravagance...
Thinking of this, the two women exchanged glances and smiled gently. Then they continued to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner for Yūsuke.
❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆❆
In the Hokage's office, Yūsuke's expression was solemn. Before him, Shisui and Fugaku stood respectfully.
"All members of Konoha's ANBU have been assembled. Those who were outside the village have also returned within this week. At present, everyone is waiting for your address." Shisui said respectfully.
"Mm." Yūsuke nodded.
After arriving at the ANBU headquarters and facing a thousand ANBU ninjas, he didn't waste words. He directly erased all of their primary personalities, imprinting them with an absolute mental seal of loyalty. These people would assist him in ruling the entire Konoha.
Upon completing this, he returned to the Hokage's office. The Ino-Shika-Chō trio had already been waiting there for some time.
"From now on, all internal affairs of Konoha will be handed over to you to handle. I trust you will manage it very well." Yūsuke said with a smile to Inoichi and Shikaku.
Leaving the village to them would save him trouble. Moreover, they wouldn't dare disobey his orders. After all, even the Hokage, Tsunade, had become his woman.
It could be said that the entire Konoha was now ninety percent under his complete control.
"Yes, Lord Yūsuke!" the Ino-Shika-Chō trio immediately declared.
"Mm." Yūsuke nodded with a smile, "Good, start your duties."
The trio nodded and left to go to their respective posts.
"Shisui, Fugaku, let's go. We'll pay a visit to the Sarutobi clan." He said, looking towards his two subordinates.
The two of them immediately nodded. "Yes!"

At the Sarutobi clan compound.
Hiruzen's face had never looked good since stepping down from the position of Hokage.
"Sigh..." He sighed repeatedly, feeling helpless, "I can only place my hopes... on Jiraiya now..."
A glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
Jiraiya had left for Mount Myōboku the day after Yūsuke entered Konoha. He needed to find a way to deal with the enemy!
It had been over ten days since his departure. Had he not found a solution yet?
Hiruzen sighed once again.
"I was wondering where Jiraiya had gone. So, he's not in the village."
Suddenly, Yūsuke's clear voice came from behind him.
"!!!"
Hiruzen immediately stood up, his pupils contracting sharply. His body began to tremble slightly.
"Th-th-this... Lord Yūsuke. Little Jiraiya, he's the type who loves to travel around. So, he's not in the village..." Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he might be killed at any moment.
Yūsuke walked up to Hiruzen with a smile and gently patted his shoulder.
"Relax. After all, I've already said I can guarantee you won't have any worries. Have you forgotten this?"
At this moment, Hiruzen's body was still trembling continuously. Who could guarantee that Yūsuke wouldn't go back on his word?
However, his face still wore a pile of smiles as he asked respectfully, "Of course, of course, I haven't forgotten. I won't forget a single word Lord Yūsuke has said. I wonder... is there something Lord Yūsuke needs from our clan?"
"Nothing else. I just wanted to ask you: Have you recalled all your clan members?" Yūsuke smiled kindly, "After all, Konoha has been handed over to the Uchiha clan to manage."
Hearing this, Hiruzen immediately replied, "Lord Yūsuke, please rest assured. Since I stepped down from the position of Hokage, I've had all our clan members — from ANBU, the Ninja Guard, and those on missions in the surrounding areas — withdrawn back to the clan. Moreover, I've already notified all clan members that, except for daily purchases of supplies and transactions, they are to stay obediently within the clan compound, not stepping out at all!"
He said this diligently. After all, they couldn't keep the clan's ninjas continuing to serve the new ruler, could they? Moreover, this was something Yūsuke himself had ordered. Hiruzen was naturally quite willing.
So, he carried out this task with particular dedication.
"So you're saying everyone has been withdrawn?" Yūsuke's expression turned slightly serious.
"Yes!" Hiruzen nodded with a smile, "Everyone has returned. From now on, in all the systems of Konoha, there will be no more ninjas from our Sarutobi clan."
He had shown such obedience. Surely Yūsuke wouldn't make things difficult for his clan now, right?
After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face!
Besides, he was being so cooperative and compliant. Although his clan might have to live a bit uncomfortably for a while, at least there was still hope with Jiraiya.
"Fugaku, Shisui, have you confirmed it?" Yūsuke asked, tilting his head.
"Reporting to Lord Yūsuke! Yes, we confirmed it yesterday. All members of the Sarutobi clan have returned to their clan grounds." Fugaku said respectfully.
Hiruzen's pupils contracted slightly.
Although he had long noticed the unusual behavior of Fugaku, Shisui, and the entire Uchiha clan, seeing with his own eyes that even the Uchiha clan leader — who had hated Yūsuke so much — had completely submitted to him left Hiruzen feeling utterly shocked.
"If that's the case, then let's help the Sarutobi clan deal with this properly. So they won't have any worries." Yūsuke's once-smiling face suddenly vanished, replaced by an indifferent, apathetic expression.
A chill ran down Hiruzen's spine. What did those words mean?
"Lord Yūsuke, what... what do you mean by this?" Hiruzen asked cautiously.
"Oh, it's nothing — just having the Uchiha clan wipe out your entire clan, that's all." Yūsuke said casually, as if discussing something mundane.
His words made Hiruzen feel as if he had plunged into an icy abyss.
