Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised that Zhang Miao knew Nightingale had a younger sister.
Because Anbu identities were confidential, it was difficult for anyone outside the organization to learn their personal information or family circumstances.
Although Zhang Miao did not know Nightingale's identity, he knew she had a younger sister studying at the Ninja Academy. Nightingale herself must have told him that.
Of course, the nonsense about concubines was obviously something Zhang Miao had made up himself.
"Perhaps Nightingale hoped Ryunosuke and her younger sister could become friends!"
With that thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately asked Zhang Miao, "If I told you Nightingale's younger sister's name, what would you do?"
"What else would I do?" Zhang Miao rolled his eyes at Hiruzen Sarutobi's question. "Of course, I'd honor her sister's dying wish and bring her home as my Eighteenth Concubine!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."
I really want to beat him until he cries!
Seeing Zhang Miao's matter-of-fact expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched twice again. Then he picked up his pipe, took a puff, and exhaled a long stream of smoke.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered this in secret. Although Zhang Miao had been talking nonsense with him all along, it was clear that he cared about Nightingale. His painstaking efforts to find out who Nightingale's younger sister was were probably because he wanted to take care of her for Nightingale's sake.
At that thought, a faint smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.
"Mm... Ryunosuke, Nightingale's younger sister is indeed studying at the Ninja Academy, but I cannot tell you her identity unless you agree to one condition!"
"Fine!" Zhang Miao nodded without hesitation upon hearing this. "Forget one condition. Even if it's two, I'll agree!"
Seeing Zhang Miao agree so readily, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.
"Mm, then make it two."
Zhang Miao: "..."
