Tsunade, you're really drunk!

"Did you succeed with the help of Brother Qianye?"

Ai asked back in disbelief.

After all, he really didn't expect that Qianye, even though he himself was not a Jinchūriki, actually knew how to help the Jinchūriki become a perfect Jinchūriki.

If that’s the case, then why send Uzumaki Naruto to the Hidden Cloud Village to train with Killer Bee?

Qianye quickly realized what Ai was wondering about, and felt a little embarrassed, but his expression did not change and he continued to look the same as before.

"This can only be regarded as an accident. By chance, I helped her unintentionally."

"Actually it was because I made quite a big noise at the time. Under the pressure from the outside world, she was able to transform into a tailed beast easily."

"I believe that even if this incident had not happened, Yukito would have become a perfect Jinchūriki in no time."

Ai then nodded doubtfully.

Upon seeing this, Qianye said no more and left on the pretext of going to Ibiki.

At this point, Yu Mu Ren, Ai and Ma Buyi were the only three people left in the office.

The Raikage then began to ask Yukito with a serious look on his face.

"Yu Mu Ren, what on earth did Qianye do in Yunlei Gorge? Why did he make such a big noise?"

The wooden man recalls everything that happened at that time and narrates it exactly as he remembers the scene.

She just modified her behavior a little bit. She was disturbed by the noise of Qianye's practice and was forced to be involved in the thunderstorm. Finally, at the critical moment of life and death, she broke through the last difficulty and successfully transformed into a tailed beast. As for everything that happened between her and Qianye afterwards, she naturally buried it deep in her heart.

Although she felt a little guilty, she couldn't say it out loud.

After listening to this, the Raikage seemed to realize that there was something wrong with Yukito compared to usual, but he didn't say much and just said a few words of comfort.

"Yukito, you know the current relationship between the village and Konoha. Although you almost lost your life this time, fortunately nothing happened."

"It even turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and you succeeded in transforming into a tailed beast. I'm sorry that the village can't help you get justice now, but for the sake of the village, please hold back your anger for the time being."

"In the next two months, you should take a good rest and adjust your condition. After all, you have been practicing for so long, it is time to take a break."

Ai's tone was filled with a hint of apology, his voice was sincere, but also somewhat helpless.

After hearing this, You Mu Ren was shocked at first, but then he realized that his words were different from usual. He even subconsciously clenched his fists in shame and anger because he remembered what happened between him and Qian Ye.

As a result, people mistakenly believed that he was angry and unhappy.

In the end, Yukito nodded silently. Perhaps letting the Raikage think so was the best option at the moment...

After the wooden man left, the Raikage's expression immediately changed and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Ma Buyi, how is the negotiation with that Ibiki guy going?"

Ma Buyi looked embarrassed and shook his head silently. He opened the file next to the desk and placed it in front of Ai.

"Lord Raikage, we have only reached an agreement on about one-third of the content so far, and the profit margin has been very tight on the other party. Just like before, there is almost no room for expansion."

"I can only say that this Ibiki is worthy of being the former head of Konoha's torture department. He always puts pressure on us in Kumogakure during negotiations. We can't fool him at all. In this regard, he is not an opponent of the same level as Jiraiya before."

Ai looked at the contents of the account, frowned slightly, but then relaxed.

"You don't have to worry about that. Qianye must have realized that it was his own mistake that nearly caused Yukito to lose his life, so he just mentioned in front of us that he wanted to go look for Ibiki."

"For the following content, you can appropriately raise the conditions a little bit."

"Let's start by asking for a bigger profit and double the profit. If that guy agrees, we Yunyin will make a lot of money."

"If that doesn't work, then we will increase the profit by 20%. However, we must further expand the scale of cooperation between Kumogakure and Konoha. The amount of goods flowing is still too small. We should increase it as much as possible."

"We must reach closer cooperation as soon as possible before the other villages do. Only in this way, when the situation takes shape, those guys will not be able to do better than us, Yunyin, no matter how hard they try!"

Ma Buyi kept it in mind and nodded.

But deep down, he felt a little disappointed with the Raikage.

Taking advantage of Chiya's apology to Yukito to expand the interests of the village... Although this makes sense from a ninja's perspective, Yukito is one of her few friends, and she feels a little sorry for him.

Jinchūriki, what a pathetic existence...

Of course, this is all when she doesn't know the truth. If she knew, she might be the one who would be jealous.

……

After a while, on the other side.

Chiye has arrived at the inn where Ibiki and the Konoha delegation are staying.

In the living room, Ibiki stood beside the table with a stern expression, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were flashing with pride and joy. He placed the documents in front of Qianye.

"Assistant-sama, this is the content of the transaction negotiated with Sackcloth of Kumogakure a few days ago. The other party is trying to further expand the current scale of trade. It seems that they intend to snatch the cooperation between other villages and Konoha and seize the market first."

"At the same time, they also want to further expand their unit price commodity profits, especially the Thunder Country's specialties such as Thunder Beef and Thunder Wine. Not only have they increased their export prices by 20%, they even want us in Konoha to reduce the tariffs in this regard."

"After a series of talks, I restricted them and made them give up the idea. I wonder if we should continue to maintain this standard for the next round of negotiations?"

Qianye flipped through the accounts on the document page by page, and sure enough, they were consistent with what Ibiki had said. He put the document back on the table only after he had finished reading all the contents.

"Ibiki, you can allow them to raise the price of specialties such as thunder beef and thunder wine appropriately, but the price must be within the consumption range of the villagers of Konoha. It doesn't matter if it is a little higher."

"But for these high-profit luxury goods, such as furniture from the Land of Lightning and fur clothing, the tariffs will be raised. The higher the price, the higher the tariff. In addition, there must be a seven-day refund procedure without any reason. They can only be sold by vendors who have the right to operate shops in Konoha."

"As for books and movies, they must be strictly reviewed to ensure that they do not spread the culture and ideas of the Hidden Cloud Village on a large scale before they can be allowed. In this regard, you can leave it to Jiraiya. He is an expert in this area and will understand what I mean."
