Kumogakure's Visitor

Uchiha Kō and Uzumaki Mito followed and saw Tsunade scolding Nawaki.

"What's wrong with you? How come you always manage to squat down on me? And not only do you squat down on me, but you also have to shout it out loud every time! As if you're afraid others won't know!" Tsunade at Nawaki.

"Grandpa said, one should be upright and honest!" Nawaki muttered twice. Tsunade taken aback. "What did you say? You're using Grandpa to intimidate me! You brat!"

With the suppression of bloodline and force, Nawaki decisively chose to crouch down with his head in his hands. Just as Tsunade's fist was about to land, Uchiha Kō suddenly spoke, "Tsunade."

Tsunade quickly turned around and did a physical exercise. "Haha, Lord Owl, are you done chatting with Grandma?" she laughed.

Uchiha Kō nodded, and then, in front of Uzumaki Mito and Nawaki, he grasped Tsunade's small hand.

Tsunade blushed. Was Owl so bold? She avoided his gaze as she looked at Uchiha Kō's handsome face, her heart pounding.

"Tsunade, be good, let's not stoop to his level." After saying that, Uchiha Kō stroked Tsunade's light yellow hair and hugged her.

"Who? Who are you arguing with? "Nawaki was surprised. "Me?" Then, seeing Tsunade's docile, kitten-like appearance, his lips twitched. "Is this really my older sister?"

"Hmm~ Okay~ Lord Owl, can you stay at my house tonight?" Tsunade said pitifully.

"Ahem, Tsuna, Grandma doesn't object to you young people dating freely, but isn't this a bit..." Uzumaki Mito, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Tsunade pursed her lips, and seeing this, Uchiha Kō knew it was time to speak up. "Tsunade, there's still plenty of time. Once we're married, we can live together."

"So, when are we getting married?" Tsunade, somewhat disgruntled. This one question immediately turned the tide!

The three people present— Tsunade, Nawaki, and Mito— simultaneously looked at Uchiha Kō. Uchiha Kō was taken aback. So fast? Wasn't this progress a bit too quick?

"Yes, Xiao, Grandma has to say something to you. Other people's children get married at fifteen, and you're eighteen now, almost nineteen. It's time for you to get married." Uzumaki Mito's lips curled up.

Nawaki was stunned. Marriage? His own older sister? He looked at Uchiha Kō with slight hostility, but then he thought about it again. Brother Kō was powerful, rich, handsome, and capable. He seemed to be a good match for his older sister.

He had heard the village girls talk about how handsome and powerful Uchiha Kō was more than once.

Looking at it this way, this marriage doesn't seem so unacceptable after all!

Uchiha Kō was taken aback. "Well, Owl's parents have passed away, and as for the elders... let's not talk about them (retracting the mention of Madara), the marriage is entirely up to Grandma to decide."

Now that Tsunade has brought it up, it would be ungrateful of him to refuse again.

Tsunade tugged at her grandmother's sleeve, her face slightly flushed. Mito, seeing this, realized her Little White was eager to get married. However, Uzumaki Mito smiled and said, "Xiao, how about we set it for next February?"

Uchiha Kō nodded. It was already November, and there were still more than three months until the wedding. These three months would be enough time to prepare.

Tsunade quickly looked at Uchiha Kō, wanting to see his opinion. Seeing that Uchiha Kō nodded, she smiled and buried her head in Uchiha Kō's chest.

Uchiha Kō laughed, "It's all up to Grandma."

"Good, good, good." Uzumaki Mito smiled broadly, her heart filled with joy. Her granddaughter's matter was settled, and the family's affairs were all resolved. Even if she were to pass away now, she would have no regrets. (But if I really passed away, you wouldn't be happy about it.)

Tsunade was secretly delighted! She even hugged Uchiha Kō for a while. Seeing that Tsunade's eyes were practically drooling, Uzumaki Mito quickly said, "It's getting late, Xiao, you should go back now."

"Yes, Grandma!" Uchiha Kō replied, then patted Tsunade's hair and said, "Be good! We'll see each other again tomorrow!"

"Oh." Tsunade pouted, released Uchiha Kō, and now stood next to Uzumaki Mito Uchiha Kō to the door.

After a brief farewell, Uchiha Kō left the Senju Clan Compound.

No sooner had he left the Senju Clan Compound than a few streets later, Anbu appeared out of nowhere and knelt before him, saying, "The Lord Hokage requests your presence. Elder Xiao, please proceed to the Hokage Building!"

After saying that, the Anbu knelt on the ground and remained motionless. If Uchiha Kō didn't go, he would risk his life to take Uchiha Kō with him, because that was the meaning of the Anbu's existence.

Implement the Hokage's will to the fullest extent, even at the cost of death, to complete the mission!

Uchiha Kō hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Lead the way."

The Anbu member replied joyfully, "Yes, Elder Xiao!" He then led Uchiha Kō slowly towards the Hokage Building.

On the way, Uchiha Kō suddenly asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"Reporting to Elder, I know a little about the events in Kumogakure. When the Lord Hokage summoned me, there were several burly ninjas among them, who looked like roughnecks from Kumogakure." Logically speaking, the Anbu shouldn't have said so much.

However, Uchiha Kō was different. He was powerful but not arrogant, humble, and did not make things difficult for his subordinates. Even the Anbu had heard of him.

Uchiha Kō nodded, then handed him three 1,000-tael bills, saying, "Alright, thanks, brother. Consider this money as a cup of tea for the brothers."

"This, this is unacceptable!" the Anbu hurriedly refused.

"Don't worry, only heaven, earth, you, and I know. I won't tell anyone." Uchiha Kō handed it over again.

The Anbu exchanged glances and accepted the gifts. Uchiha Kō smiled as well, and their relationship became increasingly harmonious as they talked more. However, when they reached an alley in front of the Hokage Building, everyone fell silent, their faces serious.

Uchiha Kō understood that there must be other Anbu present, and that some things should not be said.

He had been thinking for a long time on his way here. There were only three possibilities for the people from Kumogakure to come: first, to demand an explanation from Konoha for why Uchiha Kō attacked their Jinchūriki ninjas so fiercely!

Secondly, to clarify, those two ninjas were missing-nin; we did not order them to rob Konoha's bloodline limit, and we deeply regret this.

As for the third point, it depends on the attitude of Konoha High Command. If you show weakness, then we will hold you accountable!

If you're tough on us, we'll sever ties. If that's not enough, we'll offer compensation! Either way, we won't lose out. You can't start a war over this, can you?

My Hidden Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning has made its stance clear. If you launch another war, then you will be acting without just cause and you will be evil. In that case, I will unite the Ninja World to punish your Konoha!

It's no wonder that Uchiha Kō thinks so much, because if he were from the perspective of Kumogakure, he would have done the same. It's just a matter of whether Kumogakure is on the side of this.
