Would the Mizukage Like to Experience Konoha's Atmosphere?

Having visited Konoha before, the Raikage wasn't particularly interested in what he saw, while Jiraiya led him directly to the guesthouse.

The Tsuchikage and Kazekage followed, since staying behind meant facing Tsunade and the Fifth Mizukage.

Rasa felt this was unnecessary, and Kitsuchi, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages, had not spoken from the beginning.

"Hmm? How bustling..."

As soon as she entered the Konoha Gate, Mei Terumi was captivated by the bustling scene on the main street of Konoha.

Although there were many ninjas from various countries among them, the main group was still the villagers of Konoha.

Moreover, such a scene of shops lining the streets and stalls setting up everywhere would be absolutely impossible to see in Kirigakure.

"Oh~ Fifth Mizukage, would you like to experience the atmosphere of Konoha?"

Tsunade, who was standing to the side, wasn't in such a hurry to leave. She looked at Mei Terumi in front of her and said with a smile.

"Is it okay?" Mei Terumi turned her head and asked.

The atmosphere in Konoha was indeed quite peculiar to Mei Terumi, who had always stayed in Kirigakure.

That... right, a relaxed feeling.

Moreover, although they were all separated by the Military Police Force, the smiles on their faces as they passed by were all genuine.

Mei Terumi, as the Mizukage, naturally understood the reason for this state.

Therefore, she was also very interested in knowing how Konoha handled this matter.

Even if it's just something to learn from, it's better than the lifeless atmosphere of Kirigakure today.

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's reply, Tsunade raised an eyebrow and waved her hand.

Shizune, who was behind her, quickly stepped forward. "Lady Tsunade, what's wrong?"

"Go tell Jiraiya that I'm taking the Fifth Mizukage for a stroll around the village first."

"This..." Shizune was taken aback at first, but it wasn't impossible.

Her main concern was that Tsunade might turn on the Mizukage if things went wrong, and what would happen then?

"Um?"

Tsunade gave Shizune a disgruntled look. Had this little girl been with Hagoromo for a while now and was just keeping to herself?

He didn't even try to hide the expression on his face.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Shizune was startled by Tsunade's expression and quickly waved her hand.

"Qing, you and your men should go along first."

Mei Terumi then said to Ao, who was following behind her, "When shopping, it's impossible to bring these people along."

People were coming and going, and Ao and the other Kirigakure ninjas who followed were a bit of an eyesore.

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

Qing nodded and waved for everyone to follow.

"I'm at ease with the Mizukage."

Tsunade stood to the side, and only spoke after the Kirigakure ninja had left with Shizune.

In Konoha, Mei Terumi dared to dismiss her subordinates and go alone; that kind of courage was enough for Tsunade to think highly of her.

"Come on, weren't you going to show me around? Without your guidance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to move an inch."

Mei Terumi didn't respond to Tsunade's words; instead, she eagerly asked Tsunade to lead the way.

From the moment she entered Konoha Gates, Mei Terumi had already sensed it, not just from the visible Konoha Military Police Forces around her.

There were Anbu figures on the surrounding high walls.

Of course, the target wasn't her, but all the suspicious individuals in Konoha.

To be honest, Mei Terumi would envy a ninja of that size.

Once upon a time, Kirigakure also had this size, but after the Blood Mist Policy, some died and others fled.

Even after she took office, she disregarded Ying's reputation and brought back some of the people who had escaped.

But it still didn't solve anything.

"Let's go, this isn't even the most bustling part." Tsunade put her arm Mei Terumi's shoulder and led her directly into the crowd.

"Master, are you still busy?"

After Hagoromo led Naruto and the others to register, she went to the Hokage's Office alone.

Today and tomorrow are just for registration; the Chunin Ninja Exams will actually begin the morning after tomorrow.

"They're here? Naruto have all signed up?"

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Hagoromo who had entered and asked with a smile.

"Okay, after they finished registering, I let them go back together first."

As for where Naruto will go later, they're in Konoha anyway, so there's no need to worry.

Besides, Shikamaru was with them too.

"That's good. We need to get this sorted out first; we won't have the energy to deal with it later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. He would have to accompany the Kage of each village, as well as High Officials and Nobles, Chunin Ninja Exams.

Ostensibly, it's the Chunin Ninja Exams, but it can also be an opportunity for exchange between ninja villages from different countries and the Kage.

"Oh, by the way, you have to come to the banquet with me tonight."

Hiruzen Sarutobi his pipe, seemed to have thought of something and spoke to Hagoromo.

"No problem."

Hagoromo naturally had no objection to this matter.

"Lord Hiruzen Hokage, Lord Jiraiya requested that I come and speak with you."

"Lady Tsunade is showing the Fifth Mizukage around the village."

Shisui appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, nodded to Hagoromo, and then spoke.

Um?

Hearing this, Hagoromo was taken aback. Tsunade and Mei Terumi?

How could these two actually get along so well?

"Okay, I understand. Tell the Anbu not to be too nervous; Tsunade is there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a smoke ring and casually gave the order.

With Tsunade around, even the Fifth Mizukage doesn't need to be too worried.

"Yes!" Shisui replied, then Body Flicker Technique vanished.

"I heard that the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kitsuchi, is completely wrapped in bandages, and things have been very quiet in the capital of the Land of Fire these past few days."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Hagoromo and said.

Since there are Konoha Ninjas in the capital of the Land of Fire, they naturally know all this information.

This was Kitsuchi's first public appearance since taking office.

His entire body was wrapped in bandages, which naturally attracted the attention of some people.

Kitsuchi remained silent throughout, despite Raikage's sarcastic remarks.

This left the Fourth Raikage speechless; if it weren't for Hii holding him back, they might have ended up fighting in the Land of Land of Fire's capital.

"Wrapped in bandages..."

Hagoromo then thought of the palm strike she had delivered to the Kitsuchi.

Although it was publicly claimed that the heart was on the other side, it shouldn't have been so easy to withstand that attack.

However, not long after, news spread that Kitsuchi had succeeded him.

Meanwhile, the spies in Iwagakure (Iwagakure) received almost no useful intelligence.

"Master, do you think this Tsuchikage might not actually be Kitsuchi?"

With a sudden burst of inspiration, Hagoromo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a curious expression.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi initially wanted to laugh, but then his face froze.

Even the Fourth Mizukage could be controlled, so it seems that the Fourth Tsuchikage... might also be able to be replaced.

"I'm not sure, let's check tonight."
