Hikaru Hokage

Loquat Juuzang lowered his eyelids and released a little murderous aura to Momochi Zabuza next to him.

"Don't look so scary, Juuzou-sensei, after this time I will be a chuunin, ah! Is that watermelon head over there the one who beat the teacher away... the descendant of the Konoha ninja?"

Zabuza shrugged nonchalantly, and then looked at the three Konoha ninjas who were also walking out of the registration office.

"...Thick eyebrows and a watermelon head. If he were my opponent in the Chunin Exam, I would rather abstain than fight him. Whether I defeat or lose to such a man, it would be a shame for me."

Terumi Mei lazily narrowed her eyes to a narrow slit.

"Don't underestimate your opponent."

Loquat Juuzang also recognized that the watermelon head not far away was the son of the Konoha ninja he had met on the battlefield before.

With such terrifying physical skills, I was lucky to be able to escape.

Just thinking about that scene now, Loquat Juuzang felt like he was going to have a psychological shadow.

"Also, the most important thing for a ninja is to gather information, not to judge other people's looks here."

"I know, I know, ah, by the way, this is Konoha. The best way to get information is to ask them directly, right?"

Terumi Mei greeted the Konoha ninjas who were walking not far away.

"Where are all the handsome guys in your village?"

-

"Brother Riguang?"

"It's Hino, my name is Hino-sama."

"You can call me whatever you want. I'm not used to people calling me 'Sir'."

"Thank you for saving my sister."

"No, it was Tsunade who saved your sister."

"Oh... Brother Nikko is a troublesome person."

"trouble?"

"My sister said that people who are unwilling to accept thanks are troublesome people."

"Quanmei!"

"That's true. I am indeed a very troublesome person. However, I think it is better to be a troublesome person than to be a simple person."

"I don't understand, but Brother Nikko is very handsome, more handsome than anyone I've ever seen before, so it shouldn't matter even if Brother Nikko is a troublesome person."

"Thank you, just think you are complimenting me."

"You're welcome, my sister is also very beautiful, will you fall in love with my sister... Wow!"

"Really, Izumi always talks nonsense, Hino-san, don't take her too seriously!"

Uchiha Qina was embarrassed and covered her sister's mouth.

If my sister continues talking, I'm afraid she will face the risk of being kicked out again.

"I don't know. Although being good-looking is indeed a great advantage, liking someone ultimately depends on feeling."

"Feel?"

Uchiha Izumi broke away from her sister's arms.

The little pretty face and big eyes were full of confusion.

"Hino-san...don't you need me to go out again today?"

In order to prevent her sister from saying more words that did not suit the occasion, Uchiha Qinai quickly changed the topic.

She thought she would go out to canvass for votes today, but Hino Hikaru didn't let her do that.

"No need, the current momentum is enough, the rest..."

Hino Hikaru looked at the cloudy sky in the yard.

Whether Orochimaru will take action or how he will take action is still unknown.

However, it’s time to move on to the next stage.

-

"Hokage, the Three-Tails was originally sold to our Kirigakure Village by your First and Second Hokages of Konoha at a high price. Now you have not only taken away the Three-Tails from our village, but also made the people in your village become the Three-Tails Jinchuuriki... ...Is this how you Konoha established a foothold in the ninja world by taking back what you sold?"

Head start.

The Fourth Mizukage, Tachibana Yagura, did not mention the mistakes of Kirigakure Village, but instead put a big pot on Konoha first.

"Lord Mizukage, the three-tailed beast accidentally appeared in our camp in Konoha, and the rampage of the tailed beast also brought great losses to our Konoha. This was all caused by your Kirigakure Village deliberately letting the tailed beast go. , now that we have no choice but to seal the three tails, it has nothing to do with robbing your tailed beast, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi poured out the ashes from his pipe. He was thinking about how determined the Mizukage opposite him was to get the Three-Tails back.

Just verbal threats are useless.

"Hmph, you Konoha ninjas released the Three-Tails from our village! Now you Konoha people have become the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki. This is the best proof. Moreover, we Kirigakure are not the only tailed beasts sold by the first Hokage. The Three-Tails, if other ninja villages see Konoha taking away what they have sold, will Konoha still have integrity in the eyes of others?"

"It seems that Mizukage-sama did not come to our Konoha with sincerity."

"Sincerity? Not only did you Konoha steal the tailed beasts, but you also sold the ninja tools left behind by the Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen on the black market. Is this your Konoha's sincerity?"

On the way to Konoha, Goju Yagura discovered the Kirigakure Village Ninja Swords circulating on the black market, and had no choice but to buy them all.

Each of the seven Ninja Swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is the hard work of the late forging master of Kirigakure Village, and the value of each Ninja Sword cannot be measured in money.

"Someone sold your ninja sword privately?"

And such a thing?

Neither Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that someone had captured such an important ninja tool.

"Privately? Naruto, does anyone believe what you say? I think you personally found someone to sell it on the black market, right?"

"This is absolutely not the case! I have no idea about this!"

Instead of selling it on the black market, he might as well sell it directly to Kirigakure Village himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very heartbroken while wondering who secretly took the ninja sword from Kirigakure Village.

Four top-notch Ninja swords must sell for at least [-] million taels, right?

As a result, now he doesn't get even one or two, and he still has to bear the blame...

"Don't talk nonsense. Even without the Three-Tails, we still have the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki in Kirigakure Village, so the Three-Tails are not that important to our Kirigakure Village at the moment."

Although the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki has now defected from the village, due to the blood mist policy of Kirigakure Village (implemented by the Third Mizukage) that has closed the village for many years, Gotachibana Yagura believes that at this moment, except for the senior management of their Kirigakure Village, It is impossible for outsiders to know about this.

(By the way, in the original work, the fourth generation Mizukage finally overturned the blood mist policy when he came to power, and then was controlled by Obito for a while and re-implemented the more cruel blood mist policy, resulting in the remaining seven ninja swordsmen. Everyone rebelled against the village)

"It's just that we have to get back what belongs to our Kirigakure. Lord Hokage, you don't want our ninjas in Kirigakure to stare at your Konoha ninjas every day because of this matter, right?"

"This……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly recovered from the incident with the ninja sword.

The Three-Tails is already in Konoha's hands, and Kirigakure still wants to go back to the Hidden Village for free?This is impossible!

"The rampage of the three tails has caused a large number of casualties to our Konoha, and the Jinchuriki is still a child. We in Konoha will never be able to extract the tailed beast from the body of a child and return it to your Kirigakure Village. …”

"Children? Don't you Konoha like to send children to the battlefield the most?"

Goju Yagura interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen with a look of disdain.

"Let's be honest, how much compensation is required? If the amount is not large, we in Kirigakure Village can't contribute another sum of money, just to buy coffins for those of you who died."

"Mikoto, I will try my best to help Itachi, and your husband..."

Tsunade knew that the Uchiha clan leader's wife had been helping her since she announced her candidacy for Hokage.

"Mikoto?"

Although they were sitting across from each other, Mrs. Uchiha in front of her didn't seem to hear her.

"No, I...I'm fine. Tsunade-sama, I was distracted just now. I'm so sorry."

Uchiha Mikoto shook her head.

She did look haggard, but it wasn't because of any physical illness.

"By the way, where were you talking about? My husband...what happened to him?"

When Uchiha Mikoto mentioned the word husband, her spirits seemed to get worse.

"Speaking of... forget it, you look so bad today, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Ever since she learned that Uchiha Fugaku had been turned into a puppet by genjutsu, Tsunade planned to reveal this to Uchiha Mikoto.

But today's Uchiha Mikoto seemed to be in a very wrong mental state.

Tsunade had just finished speaking, but Uchiha Mikoto was suddenly distracted.

"Okay, Tsunade-sama, please pay attention to running for Hokage. I will take my leave now."

Uchiha Mikoto stood up from her kneeling position.

Then I didn't know whether it was because my legs were numb from sitting or because I was in poor physical condition, but I stumbled a bit.

"Are you okay? Don't worry too much. Itachi's matter shouldn't come to an end so quickly. We still have time to deal with it."

"Well, I'm fine, I understand...Thank you, Tsunade-sama, I will go back and have a good rest."

Although Uchiha Mikoto still looked worried.

But she still held on and said it was okay.

"Shizune isn't here, I'll let Hikari see you off."

"No, no need to go to such trouble, I am also a female ninja after all."

"It's raining outside, so let's give it a try."

Tsunade insisted and called Hino Hikaru.

"Have you told her about Uchiha Fugaku?"

After seeing Uchiha Mikoto's pale face and shaky appearance, Hino Hikaru asked softly in Tsunade's ear.

"Not yet. I think she has been hit hard enough recently. If I tell her forcefully, I'm afraid it will make her even worse. And anyway... in short, I can leave it until next time."

Uchiha Fugaku's current situation is irreversible.

Even if he told Uchiha Mikoto the truth, it would just be one more bad news for her.

"Ah."

Hino Hikaru nodded.

Speaking of which, the Uchiha patriarch's wife seemed to be the most hurt by the recent series of events.

The son became a Jinchuuriki, and the husband became a puppet...

I really feel pitiful when I think about it.

While Hino Hikaru was thinking this, he couldn't help but focus on the pear-shaped back of this wife.

I don't know if it's because of having given birth or if it's because of nature, but a certain part of Uchiha Mikoto seems to be particularly round.

Therefore, even if she is wearing a very conservative skirt, Hino Hikaru can still peek at her impeccable beautiful curves outlined under the skirt from waist to hip.

With such a hip circumference, if you wear ordinary slightly slimmer pants instead of a skirt, it will definitely be particularly conspicuous...

Like an extra-large round dinner plate.

Hmm, it seems that Tsunade is like this too, that's why she always wears a loose kimono.

Sami seems to be the same...

However, she is usually very tight, and it would be hard to see if she doesn't use her hands.

Hino Hikaru subconsciously thought about it.

"Just send it here. You can go back first, Hino-chan."

Under the rain curtain, Uchiha Mikoto, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back from under the umbrella with a somewhat forced smile on her face.

It can be seen that her mood today is gloomier than the weather in the sky.
