Tsunade feeding the baby, she came out of the bedroom and was taken aback to see Uchiha Kō sleeping on the sofa. She then placed her daughter next to Uchiha Kō.
She went to the bedroom and retrieved a clean blanket, gently placing it on Uchiha Kō's body with tender eyes.
Despite Tsunade's overly gentle movements, Uchiha Kō still opened his eyes and murmured, "Wife, is it over?"
"Hmm, do you want to sleep in the bedroom? It's not very comfortable here, is it?" Tsunade said with some concern; this man was working too hard.
"No need, I still have to run around for our little princess later."
"Lu Ming said that the birth of our little princess must be celebrated with a feast, and at the very least, the whole village must know about it. After thinking it over, I agreed," Uchiha Kō with a smile.
If his daughter could receive the villagers' blessings, that seemed pretty good.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade asked in confusion, "Did Lu Ming really say this? Or did you say it?"
Uchiha Kō nodded. "It's true. I hadn't even thought about it, but he brought it up and started making arrangements. He was quite enthusiastic."
Tsunade thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out the reason, so she sighed and said, "Well, honey, take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
"It's nothing for my daughter!" Uchiha Kō smiled, then looked at Uchiha Kō Uchiha Rou beside him, hugged her, kissed her twice, and went out.
Tsunade took the child, and seeing the child's joyful face, couldn't help but joke, "Your dad went out, he doesn't want you anymore~"
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Rou's smile froze; she had actually understood! Then she started crying, which greatly worried Tsunade, who spent a long time comforting the child before finally calming her down.
Tsunade placed the child in the stroller and sighed; the child's intelligence was also a source of worry.
After discussing the details, Uchiha Kō and Nara Rokumei decided to hold a banquet with a thousand tables on the occasion of Uchiha Rou moon. Those who wanted to give money could give money, and those who wanted to eat could eat. Uchiha Kō didn't care.
However, the Anbu will keep a record of those who didn't give gifts. I might not remember who gave gifts, but I will remember clearly who didn't.
Upon receiving the news, Ōnoki pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't this good news? Uchiha Kō, our ally has a daughter, and she's even a month old. We should prepare a generous gift and offer our best wishes."
Kitsuchi understood and went down to prepare resources. Ōnoki saw this but didn't say anything. Instead, he instructed Han to tell the other three Kage the news.
Before long, everyone in the Five Great Nations, from the daimyo to the Daimyo people, knew about this. The Land of Fire was fine, the whole country was jubilant, but people in the other countries felt envy, jealousy, or anger.
Is it really worth going to so much trouble for a child?
However, the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations all indicated that they would send someone to deliver a generous gift.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Fine! Fine! I haven't even avenged the economic loss you caused me, and now you dare to hold a full moon celebration!"
"Someone, take some rotten fruit and rotten meat from the storeroom, pack them in a box, and send it over!" The Daimyo of the Land of Wind wanted to disgust Uchiha Kō.
Staff Officer 1: "The Daimyo is wise. The Uchiha Kō have cut off our source of income. Since we can't resolve this through combat, let's retaliate in another way!"
Staff Officer 1 looked up at the Daimyo, a barely perceptible hint of mockery in his eyes, thinking to himself, "You're just asking for trouble. To pull this stunt at someone's daughter's full-moon celebration—given Uchiha Kō's personality, you're doomed."
"When the time comes, I will go with the flow, join forces with the ministers, and seize your Daimyo throne." The first advisor secretly rejoiced. He had long been tired of being a courtier for 40 years and had long coveted the position of Daimyo.
Now that the Daimyo has courted death, he has no one to blame but himself! The advisors, each with their own thoughts, began to gravitate towards Advisor 1, their eyes flashing with knowing and mocking glints.
However, the Daimyo was still unaware that 40 years of peace and stability had made him feel that he was invincible, and his political sensitivity gradually began to decline.
Only the second advisor stepped forward, speaking earnestly, "Daimyo, this is absolutely unacceptable! Who is Uchiha Kō? He's the leader of Konoha, someone even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire would fawn over."
"We shouldn't offend such people. Instead, we should turn hostility into friendship, take this opportunity to offer generous gifts and ask for forgiveness. Only in this way can we ensure the long-term peace and stability of our Land of Wind."
"Otherwise..." Before Staff Officer 2 could finish speaking, Staff Officer 1, his face darkening, interrupted, "So, you've got a mouth, huh?"
"Otherwise what? Staff 2, how can you speak to outsiders like this? Could it be that you accepted Uchiha Kō's treasure?" Staff 1 said coldly.
Staff Officer 2 looked at Staff Officer 1, a flash of anger in his eyes. He was about to speak when Staff Officer 1's men stepped forward, shouting, "A subject must die for his lord! If we cannot avenge him, we are unworthy to be his subjects!"
"Exactly, he just annoyed Uchiha Kō a little, he didn't kill anyone, what could possibly happen!"
Staff Officer 2 was furious, and just as he was about to advise the Daimyo again...
But he saw that the Daimyo's previously hesitant expression immediately hardened, and his eyes, when he looked at his second advisor, were filled with anger and disdain.
Staff Officer 2 realized that he was being rejected and doubted. He opened his mouth, but then fell silent.
Seeing his advisor 2 remain silent, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind snorted coldly, "Proceed according to the original plan. Open the gifts in front of everyone on the day of the full moon banquet!"
"Your Daimyo is truly wise!" said Staff Officer 1 respectfully.
"Your Daimyo is truly wise!" the crowd complimented.
Hearing the praise from the crowd, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind smiled and announced the adjournment of court.
After everyone left, Staff Officer 1 gave his colleagues a wink, and then they surrounded Staff Officer 2. Staff Officer 2 was taken aback and stammered, "What do you want to do?"
Staff Officer 1 didn't look back and continued walking outside. The other colleagues started to berate Staff Officer 2, saying that everyone disliked him anyway.
Everyone else was having fun and drinking together, but you acted all high and mighty, refusing to go, and then you even reported them behind their backs, causing them to have a falling out with Daimyo.
If it weren't for the first advisor speaking well of them, they would probably have been beheaded long ago. They usually respect you because you have a high status among the Daimyo, ranking second.
But today, the Daimyo has already rejected you, so we have nothing left to fear.
Hearing the screams of Staff Officer 2, Staff Officer 1 didn't turn around, but a smile crept onto his face. Very good! Next, he only needs to send someone to tell the Hokage Uchiha Kō, that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind is finished.
That will be my chance to take over!
Sunagakure
Upon receiving this news, Kazekage Rin decided to personally travel to Konoha to celebrate, taking his son Sasori and the Anbu with them, along with the treasures.
Chiyo was getting old and couldn't withstand the hardship of a long journey, so she repeatedly told her son to speak less and listen and observe more. She assured him that as long as he stood on Uchiha Kō's side, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Kazekage Yinglin agreed and went back to prepare.
Kumogakure
The Third Raikage A, lit up upon hearing this news. "This is a great opportunity. I heard that the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird has been completely broken, and their Byakugan is very suitable for our Kumogakure's Nintaijutsu."
Young Lord A nodded. "That's right, Father. Are you planning to use this full moon celebration to plunder the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan bloodline limit?"
"Hmm! With so many people, Uchiha Kō surely won't care about the disappearance of one or two people, so this is our opportunity! Our chance!"
"Ai, go prepare 20,000 yaks, then come with me to Konoha in the Land of Fire to deliver a congratulatory gift to Uchiha Kō's daughter, and incidentally, initiate the plan to plunder the Byakugan."
"As for Killer B, let him guard the village. The two of us are going out, leaving him as the only Kage Level shinobi. Let him stay in Kumogakure and protect the Kumogakure," said the Third Raikage A.
"Yes!" said Young Lord A, then went to tell Killer B the news.
Killer B a moment, then smiled and said, "Big brother, I will protect Kumogakure."
"Yeah! Bi! I believe in you!" Ai patted him on the shoulder, offered a few words of comfort, and then left.
"I'm telling you, Bi, you did the dirty work for that father and son, killing the rebels, and in order to quell the discontent of the other villagers in Kumogakure, they kicked you out of the political center of Kumogakure. Now they're going to Konoha to celebrate, and they're leaving you to guard the village." The Eight-Tails Gyūki was speechless.
The Raikage and his son were trying to kill Killer B, but Killer B remained unmoved and continued doing what he was supposed to do, which disappointed the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.
"Brother Gyūki, I..." Killer B this moment. His disappointment with his brother and the Raikage was not something that happened overnight, but rather something that had accumulated step by step.
"I know you're going to say that Young Lord A has been kind to you, right?" Gyūki rolled his eyes.
"No, Gyūki, I... I want to leave Kumogakure, but you are, after all, Tailed Beast sold to Kumogakure. Would it be wrong for me to take you away?" Killer B said calmly.
The Gyūki was taken aback. Had this kid finally figured it out? "Say it again, what are you going to do?"
"I said I wanted to leave Kumogakure, but because of your value, I felt embarrassed to leave," Killer B repeated.
"Haha, I thought it was something serious! We have to leave! We've done so much for Kumogakure, to be honest, we've already repaid that debt of gratitude long ago!"
"Besides, I was defeated by Senju Hashirama and forced to come here. It wasn't my choice at all. As for the funds, you can just give them to them once you've saved enough!" Gyūki continued to persuade him.
Killer B nodded. "Then let's set the date for the Full Moon Banquet. The Third Raikage won't be there then, making our departure easier. As for Kumogakure... I'll leave a Shadow Clone to protect them temporarily."
"Okay!" Gyūki was very excited. He was finally going to leave this wretched place, this wretched place, this wretched place!
"So, where should we go? Do you have any ideas?" the Gyūki suddenly asked.
"Konoha. Because Yugito seems to be in Konoha, I want to see how she's doing Konoha, after all, she's Jinchūriki from Kumogakure." Killer B said with a smile.
Gyūki was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Then let's go to Konoha! After all, Konoha has the most Jinchūriki!"
The human One-Tail beast made up their minds to leave this place of disappointment and sorrow.
