Chapter 112: My Girlfriend is Hyuga Hinata
"Hokage-sama, the Cloud envoys request an audience."
Not long after Izayoi left, a Konoha ninja wearing a green flak jacket knocked on the door and entered, kneeling on one knee and speaking respectfully.
"Cloud envoys?"
Tsunade, who had just buried herself in her work, immediately frowned. "Instead of focusing on rebuilding their village and seeking revenge against Akatsuki, what are they doing sending people all the way to Konoha?"
"This subordinate does not know," the Konoha ninja replied. "According to the gate guards, the envoys are the three disciples of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, led by the Cloud jonin Samui. They haven't entered the village but are requesting at the entrance to see Hokage-sama."
Tsunade crossed her arms, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Then, she turned to Karin, who was wearing a black suit, flat-rimmed glasses, and increasingly looked like a secretary. "Karin, go and bring them here."
Unlike Ohnoki, who sent his son to 'entertain' the envoy's, Tsunade didn't deliberately target the Cloud Village's envoy's.
Although the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning weren't allies, and Konoha and the Cloud Village were even enemies, they were ultimately one of the five great ninja villages, the backbone maintaining the balance of the ninja world.
The Cloud Village sending an envoy's this time was definitely because of Akatsuki, and Tsunade was also curious about what the Fourth Raikage wanted to do.
"Yes."
Karin was slightly taken aback, then nodded respectfully.
However, when she arrived at the village entrance, she was struck as if by lightning.
Wh... what in the world? Could this be a scale that humans possess?
Staring at Samui's assets, which were even more turbulent than Tsunade's and slightly surpassed Hinata's, Karin subconsciously looked down at her own toes, suddenly regretting taking on this task.
She should have asked Shizune-senpai to come! Fortunately, she was still young, so losing wasn't shameful.
Karin quickly composed herself, put on a mask-like smile for Samui's team, and introduced herself, "My name is Karin, I am Hokage-sama's secretary and disciple. Please follow me, esteemed envoys, Hokage-sama has agreed to see you."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The ice beauty Samui nodded expressionlessly, then led Omoi and Karui, who looked wary and guarded towards their surroundings, to follow Karin towards the Hokage Building.
Karin, who was receiving outsiders for the first time, wasn't good at talking and didn't chat with the envoy's.
However, looking at her hair color, Samui took the initiative to speak, "Are you a descendant of the Uzumaki clan?"
"Yes." Karin first nodded with a smile, then touched her hair, as if noticing something, and asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"
"Nothing."
Samui shook her head.
She couldn't possibly say, Thank you very much for the sealing techniques of your Uzumaki clan. If the previous Raikage hadn't led the army to destroy your Whirlpool Country, we wouldn't have been able to seize the barrier-type sealing scrolls, minimizing our casualties this time.
If she said that, the nature of their visit would completely change.
Although Samui was indeed very grateful, she hadn't participated in the clan's destruction.
Following Karin to the Hokage's office, Samui's team finally met one of the legendary female ninjas still alive in the ninja world.
"Tsunade-sama," Samui said, bowing respectfully.
Omoi and Karui also abandoned their previous attitude and bowed respectfully as well.
Tsunade-hime was not only the granddaughter of the God of Ninja and one of the legendary Sannin, but also a renowned medical ninja in the ninja world, a figure even enemies would respectfully address as "-sama."
The female ninjas in the ninja world who felt they were no less capable than men all idolized Tsunade, without exception.
Samui also took Tsunade as her role model.
Looking at Tsunade's assets, Samui couldn't help but sigh inwardly, As expected of Tsunade-sama.
Tsunade's eyes twitched slightly. She first stared at Samui's assets for a few glances, then shifted her gaze to her face, or more accurately, her snow-white skin, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect the Cloud Village to have someone like you."
Samui remained expressionless. This stereotype wasn't just held by Tsunade; many people had it.
Because of her skin color and figure, she had even been treated as an oddity since childhood. It was only through hard work and a strong will that she became the Cloud Village jonin she was today.
In the Cloud Village, where most people were rough and dark-skinned, this was an extraordinary achievement and a successful reversal of fate.
Although Samui didn't speak, looking at her icy face, Tsunade vaguely guessed something. She felt a hint of appreciation for this woman who was her 'equal' in a certain aspect, so she said with a serious expression, "Please sit."
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."
After Samui's team sat down, Tsunade didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "What did that guy, Ei, send you to Konoha for?"
"Raikage-sama sent us here to deliver this letter to Tsunade-sama."
Samui took out a letter from the collar of her four-dimensional pocket and handed it to Shizune, whose eyes and mouth corners were twitching slightly.
Feeling the warmth in her hands, Shizune didn't know how she managed to pass the letter to Tsunade.
Looking at her senior sister, whose face had turned grayish-white, Karin's eyes showed some pity, mixed with a bit of satisfaction.
Recently, she had also been enjoying the same treatment from Hinata and Hanabi every day. After absorbing Izayoi's chakra, Karin clearly felt her energy becoming more and more abundant, and even her nearsightedness had disappeared.
It was said that Hinata's figure owed a great deal to Izayoi.
As long as she became like Hinata, even if she couldn't compare to Hinata when she grew up, she should be able to easily crush Shizune-senpai.
Thinking of this, Karin couldn't help but look forward to her future self.
Tsunade opened the letter and began to read it.
After only reading a few lines, Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed again, and she murmured, "So, they've really become enemies?"
The letter contained more detailed information.
The information released by the Land of Lightning only mentioned Sasori of the Red Sand's puppetry skills surpassing previous generations and increased his bounty, but it didn't mention the Root organization and Shimura Danzo. Instead, this information was sent to Tsunade.
Clearly, the Cloud Village was extending goodwill towards Konoha.
At the end of the information was an invitation to the Five Kage Summit.
"The Five Kage Summit?"
Looking at these unfamiliar words, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh, "How many years has it been since my grandfather, Hashirama-sama, held a Five Kage Summit?"
The ninja village system was created by Senju Hashirama, and then other countries and ninja clans eagerly imitated it.
The original intention of the Five Kage Summit was also to discuss how to improve the ninja world and eliminate war.
Before the start of the First Ninja World War, all countries had been peaceful and without much hatred due to the God of Ninja.
But as the Ninja World War broke out, the countries developed hatred for each other, and the Five Kage could no longer sit down and talk peacefully.
So seeing these words, Tsunade's expression was momentarily dazed.
For the powerful Cloud Village to take the initiative to propose a Five Kage Summit, it was clear that super-standard existences like her grandfather and Uchiha Madara had truly appeared.
Whether it was Akatsuki or that mysterious person, both were major threats.
Thinking that the other ninja villages were still unaware of the mysterious person's existence, Tsunade made a decision. She put down the letter and nodded. "This information is crucial. It confirms our previous guesses. Not only must the remains of the fallen ninjas be preserved, but the cemeteries must also be strictly guarded. I will attend the Five Kage Summit on time."
Hearing this, Samui's team's expressions changed slightly.
That's right, how could they not have thought of that?
However, thinking of their village, which had been turned into a huge meteor crater, their expressions stiffened slightly again. They didn't know if that technique had affected the cemeteries.
Tsunade, of course, didn't know their thoughts and waved her hand, dismissing them. "Shizune, you entertain the envoy's."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Just as Shizune was about to ask Samui's team to leave, Samui suddenly stood up and said, "Tsunade-sama, may I ask if the Wood Release ninja, Izayoi-sama, is currently in Konoha?"
Tsunade and the other two women cast doubtful glances at her.
"Yes, he is. Why are you looking for him?" Tsunade asked curiously.
Karin, however, looked at this woman with wary eyes. What did this large-breasted woman want with Izayoi?
Hearing that Izayoi was in Konoha, Samui's face immediately lit up with joy, and she stated one of the purposes of their trip, "It is said that the First Hokage had a Wood Release ninjutsu called Four Pillars House Technique, which could create sturdy and permanent houses. He used this technique many times to provide shelter for many disaster-stricken areas in the ninja world, accumulating great merit. We would like to request Izayoi-sama to use Wood Release to help us rebuild our village."
"I see..."
Tsunade and the other two women nodded slightly, understanding.
Tsunade was just about to nod and accept this mission for Izayoi, but then, as if remembering something, she immediately lied without batting an eye, "Izayoi is currently a Hokage candidate and has the privilege of choosing his own missions. You'll have to ask Izayoi himself about this. If he agrees, then there's no problem."
"Please allow me to meet with Izayoi-sama, Tsunade-sama." Samui wasn't surprised; a Wood Release ninja in Konoha would definitely have privileges.
"Karin, take them to find Izayoi."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Karin nodded respectfully, then led Samui to the entrance of Izayoi's house.
Looking at this magnificent building, as luxurious as the Daimyo's residence, Omoi and Karui were both dumbfounded.
Samui, however, sensed Izayoi's status and immediately instructed her two subordinates, "Omoi, Karui, you wait for me outside."
"Yes, Captain."
The two nodded.
When Karin brought Samui before Izayoi.
After hearing Samui's request, even Izayoi couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
Asking the culprit who destroyed the village to help rebuild it – even for him, having lived two lives, this was a first.
However, looking at Samui's sincere expression, her low posture, and the complete absence of her ice beauty demeanor, Izayoi still shook his head and smiled, "I refuse."
"Izayoi-sama, as long as you are willing to help, our Cloud Village is willing to pay the reward of three super S-rank missions," Samui said urgently. "If that's not enough, we can continue to discuss it."
"This isn't about the money."
A hint of coldness entered Izayoi's smile as he said faintly, "My girlfriend, her name is Hyuga Hinata, and she is the heiress of the Hyuga clan's main family."
Samui was slightly stunned, her face showing incomprehension.
Then, as if remembering something, her expression suddenly changed slightly.
"I apologize for the intrusion." Samui bowed slightly, her large chest swaying, then left Izayoi's residence with a downcast expression.
She had thought this mission would be very simple, never expecting that the heiress of the Hyuga clan's main family was actually Izayoi's girlfriend.
Samui had vaguely heard about the village's plan back then.
Thinking of the Byakugan that the village never even obtained, Samui suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
