Going to Rescue the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, So Why Bring His Sister-in-law Along?

The Hokage Building, inside the conference room.

"Knock knock knock."

A rapid knocking came at the door.

Inside the conference room, Tsunade uttered a single word. "Enter."

"Lord Hokage."

The moment the door was pushed open, Hyuga Hiashi entered and greeted him.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly.

How did the Hiashi arrive so quickly?

She had just sent her Anbu to inform Hyuga Hiashi and the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans when, unexpectedly, only a few minutes later, Hyuga Hiashi appeared before her.

Is this some kind of serious consideration for the meeting I convened, or is it just flattery?

However, Kanami doesn't dislike the behavior of the Hiashi.

Whether it's flattery or genuine concern, at least the attitude was there.

"Please have a seat first, we'll wait for the others."

Tsunade smiled.

"Good."

Although Hyuga Hiashi was still somewhat worried about the incident, fearing that Kanami might be trying to escape with the Tailed Beast, he still found a nearby spot to sit down.

Time slowly passed as he endured each and every agonizing second.

Soon, the Ino-Shika-Cho, along with some of the Jonin who had Jonin the previous emergency meeting, appeared in the Hokage Conference Room.

At this moment, Tsunade stood up and looked around at everyone in the conference room.

"This morning we received intelligence from our ally, Sunagakure. The Akatsuki Organization, the Mysterious Organization we've been monitoring, has recently made some new moves."

Upon hearing Hyuga Hiashi, Hiashi Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness...

As long as it's not that brat Kanami who betrayed the village with Tailed Beast...

Tsunade then recounted what had happened before.

The others present simply nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Since Kakashi and Might Guy had already been chosen as the Ninja to support Sunagakure, they had nothing to worry about. Furthermore, intelligence indicated that Akatsuki Organization had no immediate plans to attack Konoha.

But Hyuga Hiashi was different.

His eyes widened.

Is Kanami taking the Tailed Beast and Hinata and Hanabi on a trip at this time?

Could it be that they're going to sell the Tailed Beast to the Akatsuki Organization?!

No, that's not right. This kid shouldn't be that stupid.

Hyuga Hiashi frowned, unable to understand what Kanami was doing at this time.

However, he was now very uneasy. The Akatsuki Organization had begun their operation, their goal being to capture the Tailed Beast. They were even taking the Tailed Beast on a trip – wasn't this just drawing their attention to him?

My precious daughter! Hinata! Hanabi!

You brat Kanami, you can't let anything happen to you.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

It would be a lie for someone his age to say he doesn't want to hold his grandchildren. While he does desire for the Hyuga Clan to regain its glory...

But at this age, he sometimes feels empty and longs to hold his grandchildren.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't listen to anything else Tsunade said.

"Alright, the purpose of today's meeting is to inform everyone of this matter. If you have any assigned tasks that require you to go out, please pay attention to your personal safety."

"Disband."

"Yes."

As Tsunade finished speaking, the group slowly dispersed.

In the end, Hyuga Hiashi remained, sitting in his seat, lost in thought.

"Hiashi? Is there anything else?"

Tsunade was puzzled.

Regaining his senses Hyuga Hiashi nodded, then quickly shook his head. "It's nothing..."

Tsunade pondered for a moment.

"Are you worried about Kanami and Hinata?"

Hyuga Hiashi was taken aback. "You know they left the village?"

"Kanami gave me a heads-up beforehand using Shadow Clone."

"I see."

Hyuga Hiashi.

"However, Lord Hokage, aren't you... worried that Kanami and the others will run away?"

Running away?

Tsunade asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Why did they run away?"

"It's not that they're planning to run away, it's just that they brought their Tailed Beast with them. I thought they were going to run away, but now that I've informed you, I'm not worried about them running away."

Hyuga Hiashi's worries dissipated.

Tsunade:???

"Wait a minute, you mean, Kanami took the Tailed Beast with him too?"

"Huh? You don't know?"

"Kanami didn't tell me!"

"..." Hyuga Hiashi.

Oh no, is Kanami really going to run away? I accidentally exposed his intentions!

"He probably won't run away. He even brought my youngest daughter with him. It's highly likely he really is just going on vacation."

Hyuga Hiashi tried to smooth things over.

Tsunade: "It's not a vacation. Kanami went to Takigakure to rescue the Fū, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. You're saying he even brought Tailed Beast with him...?"

She fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he spoke, "Is he going to use the Two-Tails to exchange for someone, or is he going to use the Two-Tails to wipe out the Akatsuki Organization?"

As for Kanami's defection and escape from the village, she thought it impossible.

However, it's still possible to exchange the Two-Tails for a lover. Although Kanami claims they are just ordinary friends, Tsunade doesn't see it that way.

If ordinary friends can do this much for each other, then she also wants to be ordinary friends with them!

However, what she believed even more was that Kanami was going to destroy Xiao.

Given the other party's strength and personality, it's not impossible for them to do so.

She couldn't understand why the other party had brought Hyuga Hiashi's youngest daughter, Hanabi Hyuga, along.

Apart from Kanami, Hinata, and the Two-Tails Matatabi, no one in the Shinobi World knows about Otsutsuki Toneri.

"What?!"

Hyuga Hiashi suddenly stood up.

"Kanami told me he was going on vacation! He even conspired with Hinata to lie to me!"

"They're going to Takigakure to rescue the Tailed Beast Host!"

"Then why did they bring Hanabi?"

Hyuga Hiashi looked anxious.

The Akatsuki Organization is extremely dangerous. While Kanami and Hinata are very strong, Hanabi hasn't experienced much real combat. What if something unexpected happens?

"This is too dangerous! What are Hinata and Kanami thinking?!"

He couldn't help but speak again, his face extremely grim.

"Hiashi, don't worry, Kanami must have his reasons for doing this. Perhaps there's some reason why he has to bring the Hanabi along."

Tsunade spoke up to dissuade her.

Now that things have come to this, the other side has already set off, and with the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if they wanted to call them back, they couldn't.

"I must find out the reason when Hinata returns."

Hyuga Hiashi's expression was somber.

"I don't understand this either. Why bring my Sister-in-law along when we're going to Jinchuriki?"

Tsunade also muttered to herself.
