The next day.

Third floor of the Anbu Headquarters Building, Sixth Division locker room.

When Hanfeng saw Tenzo with dark circles under his eyes, he suddenly realized what he had forgotten the night before.

"Tenzo..."

Hanfeng sat down beside him and took his hand, staring straight into his eyes without blinking for ten seconds. After twenty seconds, Hanfeng's eyes reddened, and tears welled up. "I'm really sorry about last night. Something unexpected came up..."

"Big Brother Hanfeng..."

Tenzo pulled his hand away and said sullenly, "No matter what you say, I absolutely won't believe you!"

"You don't believe me? How can you not believe me?"

Hanfeng was exasperated. "I went to Ichigo Hot Spring last night to check on the Mist Village Envoy, but I ran into Orochimaru. I brought the others with me and searched for him for ages, but in the end..."

"Did you find him?" Tenzo's gaze turned mournful.

"Uh... no." Hanfeng's mouth twitched. Why did this feel so awkward?

"I stupidly waited until midnight." Tenzo's almond-shaped eyes grew even more resentful.

At that moment, Hanfeng felt Wood Release drifting away like a wisp of smoke.

He knew this couldn't go on, so he changed tactics at once!

Hanfeng's tone shifted, his expression turning stern. "I know it was wrong to stand you up, but compared to our promise, Orochimaru sneaking into Ichigo Hot Spring was a far bigger deal! If Orochimaru had killed the Mist Village envoy in our village, think about the consequences!"

Tenzo's body shuddered.

Hanfeng didn't give him time to think and went straight to the consequences. "Kirigakure would turn against Konoha, and diplomacy between the Land of Water and our country would fall into a major predicament. If it wasn't handled properly, it could even lead to war! If war broke
