"It's fine as long as it didn't succeed."
Samui spoke up.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be as attractive in a few years?" Darui joked.
"Tsunade from Konoha is there, there's no need to worry."
Samui rubbed her temples. She had already begun learning the Yin Seal, something that Darui had secured for her after completing several missions.
The condition is that it cannot be leaked, not even to those in the Kumogakure Village.
Darui had no objection to this.
This is what the Kumogakure Sect might do regarding Hagoromo.
No one was allowed to question it, not even the previous Fourth Raikage A, had any objections.
After all, everyone can see how powerful Hagoromo is.
Befriending Konoha would be an opportunity for the village.
Otherwise, Mei Terumi wouldn't have...
No, Mei Terumi is practically begging to be given away, she'd even give Kirigakure to Konoha if she could.

Sunagakure watched Gaara device slowly disappear from sight before turning to leave.
Temari followed behind, and when they were halfway there, Gaara turned to look at Temari, "How are things with Shikamaru?"
"What, you can't wait for your sister to get married?"
Temari rolled her eyes in annoyance. Ever since Gaara returned to normal, Temari's attitude towards her younger brother had changed; at least they were more like siblings now.
Gaara chuckled lightly, "Shouldn't I at least prepare a dowry for you?"
"If Shikamaru gets married, he will be the first among all of Master's disciples, so naturally it should be a grand affair."
"Come on!" Temari said shyly. "But Shikamaru said it shouldn't be too soon for now."
"Too busy, not just Shikamaru, even you, Lord Hokage, are the same."
Gaara nodded. Yes, Hagoromo is indeed too busy.
As the last disciple of Hagoromo, although he couldn't visit her often, he was still much closer to Hagoromo than the other Kage through communication.
Even when giving him pointers, Hagoromo was always working at the same time.
It's not that Hagoromo is slow at handling affairs; on the contrary, Gaara considers himself inferior to his master, who can decide how to handle a document in just a few seconds.
However, there are too many things to deal with in Konoha. Even though many departments have been set aside to help handle them, there are still many things that weigh on Hagoromo's shoulders.
"Let's go, let's find some time to visit our master in Konoha."
Gaara said no more and turned to walk towards the Kazekage Building.
--
"Oh! Hagoromo, you've arrived!"
Pushing open the gate, one finds a vast estate belonging solely to Minato Namikaze. This was originally Minato Namikaze's residence, which was later expanded with Hagoromo's approval.
"Yes, I'm done."
Hagoromo responded with a friendly smile, saying that it was Naruto's birthday and he had come over after finishing his main tasks.
In the crowd, Naruto was surrounded by a large group of friends, who all stood up to greet Hagoromo as he approached.
"Master!"
The disciples of Hagoromo called out in unison, while Karin and Ino walked over, took Hagoromo's arms, and led Hagoromo to Naruto's side.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the disciples and Naruto's friends, Hagoromo couldn't help but ask.
The atmosphere here is a bit ambiguous.
"Hehe, teacher, we were just talking about Naruto and Hinata," Ino said with a grin.
"After this birthday, Naruto will be turning eighteen."
"That's great, we've all been discussing when Naruto will propose to Neji," Karin said with a grin.
Hinata, sitting next to Naruto, was blushing furiously.
"No, we should propose marriage to Hiashi. Although Neji is now the head of the Hyuga clan, we can't bypass Hiashi."
Ino used this to refute Karin's words.
"What? I didn't think it would be easier to propose to Neji." Karin pouted.
"I think you just think it's easy, right? Even though you're Naruto's adopted older sister, you can't be so biased towards your Neji, can you?"
Ino spoke with a mocking expression.
"You bastard, I'm going to beat you up!" Karin exposed.
The two began leaping and bounding through the Uzumaki mansion.
"What a hassle. He's so old, yet still so impulsive." Shikamaru sighed, looking helpless.
"You brat, aren't you only seventeen too!"
Jiraiya, smacked Shikamaru on the head in exasperation. This guy hadn't learned anything, but he had picked up Shikaku, nonchalant attitude.
"Uncle Jiraiya, you and Tsunade have been together for so many years, are you planning to have a child?"
Naruto, standing to the side, wondered why Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had been married for so many years, had still not received any news.
Moreover, Jiraiya his father's teacher, so he often came over with Tsunade, and the two of them were constantly questioned by Kushina.
"Stop being so verbose!"
Tsunade happened to be walking over, punched Naruto on the head. "You're not even fully grown yet, and you're already concerned about me?"
Aww--
Naruto clutched his head; even though he was now at the Six Paths level, Tsunade's punch still hurt a lot.
Jiraiya, twitched the corner of his mouth, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, even Hagoromo, he hesitated.
"Tsunade, talk to them."
Tsunade taken aback, then a blush appeared on her face.
Eh--!
Everyone present was taken aback by Jiraiya and Tsunade's reaction.
Ignoring the pain in his head, Naruto shouted, "Mom! Tsunade is pregnant!"
Ho--
These words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere. Kushina, Kushina was in the kitchen, stepped forward, spatula in hand, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Really?! Tsunade- neechan?!"
Goodness, the way they address each other in this family is really confusing.
Hagoromo rubbed his temples, just as Tobirama and Hiruzen Sarutobi walked in.
Upon hearing Tobirama, Tobirama immediately used Flying Thunder God to appear beside Jiraiya, wrapped his arms around Jiraiya's neck, and asked, "You brat, is this true?"
"Cough cough--Second Grandfather, please let go! Really! Really!"
Jiraiya's face turned completely purple as he kept talking.
Well, what was supposed to be Naruto's birthday party turned into Tsunade's celebration.
Tsunade sat in the middle, completely bewildered. She had no idea what was going on or how she had suddenly become the protagonist.
Tobirama was pulling Jiraiya's ear and giving him a lecture, while Hiruzen Sarutobi stood smiling beside Hagoromo.
"The Senju is finally about to welcome a new bloodline."
Yes, this is the question everyone cares about: Tobirama doesn't want to get married, so all eyes are on Tsunade.
Furthermore, Jiraiya didn't mind that his descendants Senju surname, so naturally, the Senju bloodline did indeed fall to Tsunade.
