Yamanaka Kei, with a bellyful of frustration, forced himself to check on the remaining nine crows, as well as Hawk Falcon Pidgeot, who had only arrived yesterday.
Seeing that the little crows were still living comfortably without any issues, he finally relaxed.
Pidgeot had also found the two companions it had previously had on Summoning Island in the Breeding House, and was currently wrapped up in sweet affection with them.
Only then did he bid the Breeding House staff farewell and turn to leave.
He had arrived filled with rage and left with clogged milk ducts.
Yamanaka Kei had never imagined, even in his dreams, that the boomerang would hit this hard!
What was this?
Karma coming full circle? Retribution never failing?
Bullshit!
That old bastard Danzo had done so many disgusting, utterly immoral things.
If there really was retribution, he should've croaked long ago!
Yamanaka Kei, thoroughly displeased, walked along the streets of Konoha toward Sweet Chestnut Sweet, where Yuhi Kurenai, Might Guy, and Shiranui Genma were waiting.
As one of Konoha's oldest dessert shops, Sweet Chestnut Sweet had already taken root in Konoha during Tobirama Senju's era.
The shop's yokan was a jelly-like snack made by simmering and steaming beans or chestnuts before adding other ingredients, and it was especially popular with young people.
Since joining Yamanaka Kei's team, Yuhi Kurenai, Might Guy, and Shiranui Genma had completed two D-Rank Missions.
Those missions had greatly eased their financial pressure, and with the help of the ongoing Four Limbs Heavy Seal, all three had improved considerably in strength.
After working together on missions for an entire week, their coordination had become far more seamless as well.
The three had originally planned to train together at Training Ground 4 today, but the weather had forced them to change their plans
