"Hey, Pervy Sage..."
On the streets of Konoha, Hyuga Makoto left the Hyuga Clan together with Jiraiya and Tsunade.
Still, he was somewhat displeased. He had just been about to discuss a big deal with Tsunade.
Yet before he could even get started, Jiraiya had interrupted him!
"Danzo is setting out, so what? Why do we have to move with him?"
"Can't be helped. He's an elder, after all."
Jiraiya was also annoyed by Danzo's sudden move. He could only sigh and explain.
"Besides, Uchiha Obito's space has powerful transportation capabilities. We need to guard against whatever schemes they might be plotting."
You know it's a scheme, and you're still walking right into it.
"Fine, I get it. Seriously, why make everything so rushed?"
Hyuga Makoto nearly rolled his eyes. He nodded helplessly and asked.
"By the way, how many people are involved in this operation? Did anyone notify Kisame?"
"We haven't contacted Kirigakure for now. It's only reconnaissance, after all."
Jiraiya shrugged nonchalantly before smiling.
"It's still our usual lineup, except Tenzo and Tsunade are joining us this time."
"Me?"
Tsunade looked utterly bewildered. She had only followed Hyuga Makoto out because he was leaving.
Who knew that as soon as she turned around, she would hear news like this?
"I just got back. Why am I being assigned a mission like this?"
"Old man's decision. He was probably worried something might really happen."
Jiraiya discreetly glanced at Hyuga Makoto from the corner of his eye, then grinned and shrugged.
"But don't worry. This mission might not be bad. The Land of Fields is a nice place, after all."
"A nice place?"
Hyuga Makoto and Tsunade both froze when they heard that, then immediately understood.
Hyuga Makoto had been to the Land of Fields, so he naturally knew exactly
