Konoha.
Senyo had only just left Orochimaru's Laboratory.
When he received another urgent message.
Shibuki, Kagen, and Yōrō of Takigakure had arrived. They claimed to have extremely important intelligence to report to Senyo.
Minato was currently in the former Land of Wind, so they had notified Senyo directly.
Senyo stretched lazily. He truly wasn't used to handling these sorts of matters.

After thinking briefly, Senyo realized he had no clue.
Still, this had at least sounded an alarm for him. "I understand. Thank you for bringing me this information."
Shibuki exchanged glances with Kagen and Yōrō, then took out a scroll.
"Hokage-sama, this is the Hero's Water our village has accumulated over the past
