Kumogakure.
Looking at the fully equipped and ready-to-go team in front of him, Dodai couldn't help but glance at the Mabui beside him.
"Keep a close eye on Raikage, and make sure he doesn't do anything rash."
"Uh, I'll try..."
Mabui- i glanced at the impatient Raikage and couldn't help but give an awkward laugh.
If the Fourth Raikage were truly so easily persuaded, he wouldn't need to keep replacing the sofa and glass in his Raikage's Office.
"Dodai, stop arguing! I haven't seen Killer B in ages!"
"That kid, he's been going to Konoha and hasn't come back."
"I'm going to give him a good beating this time!"
The Fourth Raikage shouted angrily at the Dodai, "We're about to set off, and you're still dawdling."
"Lord Raikage, Konoha has defeated Iwagakure and Sunagakure, and is currently riding high on their victory."
Dodai frowned and spoke again to offer his advice.
"Got it! After we sign the alliance, I'll bring Killer B back and beat him up then!"
The Fourth Raikage A, waved his hand impatiently.
"That works too." Dodai nodded very seriously.
After all, Killer B really deserved to be taught a lesson. As a Jinchūriki, how dare he stay in Konoha for so long with such a nonchalant attitude?
If Samui hadn't maintained contact with the village, Dodai would have been worried that the two of them had been captured by Konoha.

On the streets of Konoha.
Hagoromo walked behind, watching her disciple, who had stopped cultivating and accompanied Karin, come out.
After getting to know each other better, although Karin wasn't truly able to let go, she was no longer the same as before.
After Ino and Hinata's conversation, the group decided not to train today and instead take Karin around to see the world.
Hagoromo naturally agreed with this.
As Naruto passed a dumpling shop, he noticed Karin and his gaze lingered on her.
He then looked at his companions and asked, "Want some three-colored dumplings?"
Everyone nodded, but Karin, who was being pulled along by Ino and Hinata, hadn't had a chance to respond yet.
My eyes were immediately drawn to the three-colored dumplings in front of me.
"Eat up, it's delicious, but a bit too sweet. Only Sasuke would like it." Naruto handed a serving of Karin to Karin.
"Stop being so verbose!"
Sasuke, standing to the side, looked at Naruto speechlessly. This guy! He always manages to sabotage him.
"Pfft--"
Karin was amused by the reactions of the two people in front of her and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she quickly covered her mouth the next second.
"Karin, let's ignore those two."
Seeing this, Ino immediately pulled Karin forward.
While explaining the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke Karin, Hinata occasionally added her own explanations.
However, it's mostly to protect Naruto.
"Those two are like sworn enemies, always bickering and arguing, but when something really happens..."
"They're more anxious than anyone else; that's how they get along."
Several boys followed behind, looking helpless. They realized that they seemed to have simply accompanied the girls on their outing.
I couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Teacher! Do you want some?"
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he immediately brought a serving of three-colored dumplings to Hagoromo.
"No need, you guys eat." Hagoromo smiled and patted Naruto's head, then glanced at the others walking ahead.
"If the teacher is busy, I'll have to trouble Naruto and the others to take good care of her."
"No problem!"
Naruto readily agreed, as that was his original idea.
Sasuke and Shikamaru, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
They all felt sorry for Karin.
"Oh, right, teacher!" Naruto seemed to have thought of something and asked Hagoromo.
"Neji is Neji currently serving Jonin?"
Upon hearing this, the others all looked up. After Neji had gotten along quite well with them, though recently he had been frequently on missions.
Each time they returned to cultivate, they were embarrassed to ask too many questions.
"That Jonin from last time, the one in all green."
Hagoromo shrugged. As for Neji, Hagoromo naturally assigned him to Might Guy.
After all, among the current Jonin, only Might Guy and Kakashi are not seriously leading a team.
Oh, and him too.
However, considering that Neji's strongest skill is Taijutsu).
Although Hagoromo had already taught Neji quite a few Taijutsu, it was still beyond the scope of the powerful and fierce Taijutsu.
No one in the entire Konoha is more suitable than Might Guy.
"It's that one!" Naruto was somewhat stunned when he heard it was this Jonin.
It's all because this Jonin seems a bit strange.
They often talk about youth and make strange moves, but their skills are absolutely top-notch!
"That's right, after all, his Taijutsu are very strong. Hopefully, Neji can also learn a different kind of experience from this."
Hagoromo nodded.
In the original work, Neji was able to become the first Jonin of his generation under Might Guy's command.
Besides his own talent, Might Guy deserves a lot of credit.
Might Guy doesn't have a leader yet, so Neji can get more familiar with the class by following along.
Perhaps, in another year or two, Rock Lee and Tenten will graduate.
Even though he's been on the battlefield, based on Neji's contributions this time, he should be able to be promoted to Chunin at least.
However, Hagoromo did mention it to Neji.
Instead of focusing on your Genin stage, take advantage of this time to grow and develop into a true ninja.
Taking some time to calm down might help develop the ability to roll one's Byakugan.
Neji agreed to this.
"Teachers! What are you doing!"
Ahead, Ino turned her head to look at Hagoromo- sensei and Naruto, who were far behind her.
He couldn't help but shout.
"Let's go, I'm taking you guys out for dinner today. I'll have Neji."
With a smile, Hagoromo pushed Naruto, Sasuke, and the others beside her forward.
--
A few days later, at the Konoha Gate.
Hagoromo looked at Killer B with a helpless expression, arms crossed, as he watched the man chattering on and on.
I felt a wave of helplessness.
This guy, having stayed in Konoha for so long, seems to have actually gained more inspiration.
She's been chattering nonstop ever since we met.
Killer B absolutely loves his new life; he doesn't have to stay in Valley of Clouds and Lightning all the time and can explore the world around him every day.
Moreover, Konoha hosts countless grand ceremonies and events, constantly sparking his inspiration.
"Idiot, you bastard brother, how much longer do you want me to wait?!"
"You're moving so slowly, I want to go out and play!" Killer B said, waving his arms and legs.
"Killer B! What are you saying?!"
Not far away, a voice came from afar, filled with surging anger.
Hagoromo raised an eyebrow and took a slight step back to the side.
Um?
Seeing Samui doing the same thing, Hagoromo couldn't help but wonder, "I retreated because I'm from Konoha, why are you retreating too?"
Shouldn't the goal be to stop the Fourth Raikage?
Samui raised an eyebrow slightly when he caught Hagoromo's gaze.
How can you stop the Lord Raikage properly loving his younger brother? What about all the suffering she's been going through lately?
