"Hmm? I didn't expect him to return to the village."
"I'll head back to my place first. If you can't find a place to stay... well, come to my place."
Konan caught sight of Jiraiya appearing around the corner and, after leaving Shirozumi with those words, she left alone.
It wasn't that her identity couldn't be exposed, but rather that it couldn't be exposed too early.
Otherwise, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
As for the accommodation Konan mentioned, it was a room prepared by Konoha for visitors with a certain status.

These people had a place to stay when they arrived, so they didn't need to fight for a spot at the inn.
Just as Shirozumi had refused to bully the children earlier, the Sunagakure people arrived in Konoha.
Eight-year-old Hokage's grandson, Konohamaru, bumped into Kankuro, triggering a series of reactions.
In the end, Gaara and Sasuke made their appearance, exchanged harsh words, and the farce came to an end.
Naruto and Konohamaru walked down the streets of Konoha.
"Big Brother Naruto, that big-faced guy is so hateful! Starting tomorrow, I'm going to work hard to train, and the next time I see him, I'm going to give him a good beating!"
Konohamaru waved his fist, full of fighting spirit.
"Konohamaru, as long as you work hard to cultivate the Secret Technique I taught you, solving that guy will definitely not be a problem. I happen to be free today, so we..."
Naruto was about to pull Konohamaru to find a place to "deepen" his knowledge of a certain Ninjutsu when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Big Brother Shirozumi?
Why is he in Konoha again?
Is it another mission, or is he here to participate in the Chunin Exams?
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
He was too lazy to think about these questions.
"Hehehe."
A strange smile gradually appeared on Naruto's face, and he put his arm around Konohamaru, beginning to whisper in Konohamaru's ear.
"Konohamaru, you should know that my Secret Technique works better the stronger the Ninja is."
"Yeah, yeah, of course I know that! My grandpa and Ebisu-sensei were easily defeated by you!"
"See that Big Brother over there?"
"Yeah."
"He's a master I met in A-rank and S-rank missions. Kakashi-sensei admires him very much--anyway, you understand, Konohamaru?"
Naruto said seriously.
Understand? Understand what?
Konohamaru was stunned.
What was with the riddles?
Fortunately, Konohamaru deserved to be someone who could learn the Rasengan with just a "poof pah," and he managed to understand Naruto's meaning.
"Big Brother Naruto, do you mean that we should use this Big Brother as our target for practicing Ninjutsu to test the power of our techniques, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I mean."
Then, the two sneaked into a corner and used the Transformation Jutsu.
All of this was seen by Jiraiya.
"That kid is Minato's son, isn't he? Really... hmm?--hmm?!!!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened when he saw Naruto and Konohamaru's technique.
"He's so talented, a genius!"
Jiraiya gasped.
At the same time.
Shirozumi encountered Kurotsuchi and Mei Terumi, who had come out to go shopping together.
Because of the Inter-mutual Alliance connection between Shirozumi, the two were undoubtedly allies, and today was their first real meeting.
Mei Terumi was also seeing Shirozumi for the second time since the last encounter.
"I used to only hear that the more beautiful a woman is, the more her mouth will lie, but I didn't expect men to be the same."
"Those people in the Land of Waves, Zabuza with the Kubikiribōchō, Kisame with Samehada, and Haku with the Ice Release...
If we weren't cooperating, if we weren't allies, then I would definitely have to invite them back to Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi ran her finger across Shirozumi's lips, but her tone didn't have any complaints.
"Has the Six-Tails been found yet?"
Shirozumi didn't refute anything like, "You wouldn't even be Mizukage if we didn't cooperate," but asked with a smile.
"Found him, arranged a quiet little garden for him outside the Village."
"...I suffered a few minor injuries during the fight before convincing him."
Mei Terumi suddenly changed her tone, lifted a corner of the shawl draped over her shoulders, showed Shirozumi her back wrapped in bandages, and then covered it again.
"...You guys can get hurt together?"
Shirozumi didn't directly respond to Mei Terumi. When he saw Mei Terumi's bandages, he subconsciously glanced at Kurotsuchi next to her.
Kurotsuchi's attire was significantly different from before. Although it wasn't a high-slit cheongsam like in the Photo, it was an improvement compared to the classic Iwagakure Ninja outfit that made it hard to tell the gender.
It was precisely because of this that Shirozumi noticed the bandages exposed on her waist.
"I also went to find the Jinchuriki. Rōshi, that old stubborn man, is just like my grandfather, insisting that I can't make decisions and that the old man still controls the Village."
Kurotsuchi pouted, recalling Rōshi's attitude, feeling a little unhappy.
"Stop looking, it's just a burn on my waist from his Lava Release."
"What? You don't want to help us apply ointment, do you? Don't even think about it. Do you think the Mizukage and I don't know the Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
Kurotsuchi's expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled, opening her mouth with a teasing tone, and even nudged Shirozumi with her elbow.
"..."
Shirozumi was about to complain that Kurotsuchi was adding unnecessary drama when two figures suddenly popped up behind him, squeezing in front of the three of them.
"Big Brother, I don't know the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and I'm also injured. Can you help me apply some ointment~"
A "woman" with long golden hair, but with obvious signature whiskers on her face, posed coquettishly in front of Shirozumi.
"Me too, my butt was bitten by a Scorpion just now. Good Big Brother, can you help me suck out the poison?"
Another woman also twisted her body, trying to get closer to Shirozumi.
It must be said that the biggest flaw of these two was Naruto.
Konohamaru's transformation at least had no such characteristics.
Shirozumi watched the performance of these two without any waves, even feeling a little nauseous.
"No way!"
Kurotsuchi's face darkened, and she stood in front of Shirozumi, with her hands on her hips, "You are Konoha Ninja, right? If you are injured, go to your medical department, don't come to our foreign Village Ninja for help!"
"Going to the medical department is too expensive."
"Yeah, we are children from poor families."
"This Big Brother looks like a helpful person, please help us."
The transformed Naruko and Konomaru said one after another.
Clap.
Kurotsuchi slapped a stack of money into Naruko's hand, then turned her waist to show the hat hanging on her waist:
"See, I am the Tsuchikage, she is the Mizukage, and this person is contracted by us... uh, requisitioned, our injuries are crucial, you take the money and solve it yourself at the medical department, do you hear me!"
After speaking, Kurotsuchi gave Mei Terumi a look, and the two dragged Shirozumi away, one on the left and one on the right.
"This Konoha is too scary, are they all lustful women?"
Kurotsuchi muttered in a low voice as she walked.
