Upon hearing Yūsuke's teasing remark, Tsunade's eyes widened. She glared fiercely at him, then turned her head with a snort and strode ahead towards their destination.
Yūsuke clicked his tongue and muttered, "As expected of a Senju descendant. Her recovery ability is truly remarkable."
With that, he followed Tsunade towards Suna.

Inside Sunagakure, in the Kazekage's office.
A figure paced back and forth restlessly.
"We have no choice. We must agree to all of Yūsuke Kamizuki's demands — even if he wants the entire Land of Wind." At this moment, Chiyo, who was sitting in the conference room, slowly stood up.
Although she was old, her mind remained sharp. Looking at Rasa pacing before her, she reluctantly shared her thoughts.
"We must follow Iwagakure's example. I know... if we do this, our Land of Wind will exist in name only. But at least our descendants will survive." She spoke slowly, her voice heavy with resignation.
"Sigh... I know. You needn't remind me. Of course I'll handle it this way. It's just..." Rasa smiled bitterly, "I never imagined Iwa would surrender so quickly. That Ōnoki — though no match for Yūsuke Kamizuki — his Dust Release is formidable. I can't fathom how he surrendered unconditionally so fast..."
He walked to the window, gazing out at Sunagakure, his face etched with deep helplessness. As Kazekage of the Land of Wind and leader of the Sand Village, Rasa couldn't treat the lives of his people as a game.
So, even before Yūsuke set out for Iwagakure, he had prepared for the worst: unconditional surrender.
Now, judging from the Rock Village's actions, if Suna wanted to ensure its survival, they could only follow suit.

Inside the Kazekage's office.
Half an hour later, Yūsuke, Tsunade, and Ōnoki arrived. Rasa welcomed them with great ceremony, his attitude extremely respectful.
"Lord Yūsuke, the entire Land of Wind is willing to submit and become a vassal state of the Land of Water." Rasa began, "As of yesterday, I dispatched ninja to revoke all rights of the feudal lord's mansion and disbanded its guards. Currently, all power in the Land of Wind is concentrated here. With just one word from you, I can immediately inform the entire ninja world."
He stood respectfully before Yūsuke, detailing his actions over the past two days.
Upon hearing this, Ōnoki's eyes widened in surprise, 'Good grief! This Kazekage sure acted quickly! We haven't even arrived yet, and he's already taken care of everything?'
"Not bad." Yūsuke smiled, impressed.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Moreover, Rasa had handled these matters quite well.
"Alright. Your attitude is appropriate." Yūsuke said casually, "From now on, you can continue being the Kazekage. The operation of the village and the Land of Wind will still be left to you. Just make sure to submit resources on time every month."
With that, he left with Tsunade.
Originally, there were only two purposes for coming here: to completely subjugate the Land of Wind and for tourism. Nothing else needed to be done.
After seeing Yūsuke and Tsunade leave, Rasa let out a light sigh of relief.
"Finally... the entire Land of Wind has been preserved." He murmured. Turning to Ōnoki beside him, he grinned and said, "Tsuchikage, I didn't expect you to act even faster than me."
"Don't joke around." Ōnoki raised an eyebrow, "You clearly acted faster than me. Good grief! We only issued the announcement yesterday morning. Today you've already taken care of everything. And you're saying I acted faster than you?"
Hearing this, Rasa shrugged. Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, did you tell Lord Yūsuke about that matter?"
"What matter?" Ōnoki asked, confused.
"The Akatsuki organization! Don't you remember? When we were previously allied with Konohagakure, a mysterious man wearing a patterned mask came, claiming to be a member of the Akatsuki organization. He wanted to cooperate with us." He explained quickly.
"Of course I mentioned that." Ōnoki shrugged, "Moreover, Lord Yūsuke already knew about the existence of such an organization. He said that after things are settled here, he'll go and 'play around' in that organization..."
Hearing this, Rasa finally felt relieved.
After all, they wouldn't dare to hide any secrets from Yūsuke anymore!
