On the sixth day, the gates of Kumogakure were wide open, with only two Anbu Ninja left to stand at the entrance to verify identities.
One of them was Darui, the captain of the Anbu. He stood with his arms crossed, and thanks to the trust of the Fourth Raikage and his own decisiveness, he became the captain of the Anbu and a favorite of the Fourth Raikage, A.
After observing him for the past few days, the Fourth Raikage felt that Darui was a capable person, so he entrusted him with the task of welcoming the Kage and their envoys from other villages.
Darui arrived early in the morning, gazing into the distance, waiting for the messengers from each village to arrive.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw a figure wearing a blue Mizukage robe appear, surrounded by seven ninjas, each of whom appeared to be quite powerful. Based on intelligence, Darui quickly identified them as Karatachi Yagura, the Mizukage of Kirigakure.
A smile forced across his previously stiff face. "Captain of the Anbu of Kumogakure, welcome to the Mizukage Kirigakure the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the village.
Karatachi Yagura stopped in his Mizukage. "Who are you? Where is the Fourth Raikage A?" Karatachi Yagura was puzzled. According to custom, when a Kage arrives in a village, the village's successor Kage should come out to greet him. Why was the Fourth Raikage A, nowhere to be seen?
Darui smiled slightly, "Lord Raikage is currently paying respects to the Third Raikage, and the ceremony will not conclude until tomorrow. Therefore, I have been asked to receive all the Kage and powerful figures on his behalf."
The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. After all, the dead should be respected, and since that was the case, he couldn't very well argue with him.
"In that case, please lead the way," said the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, gently.
"Please follow me, everyone." With that, Darui beckoned, and a member of the Anbu came to take his place.
After doing all this, Darui walked ahead and began to introduce the sights and features of Kumogakure to the Mizukage and Mizukage group. The group chatted and laughed along the way.
After walking around for about thirty minutes, Darui led the group to a hotel that looked very high-end and had a large interior.
After exchanging a few words with the shopkeeper, Darui took ten keys and handed them to Suikazan Fuguki.
"These ten rooms will be your accommodations during your stay in Kumogakure. I hope you all have a great time," Darui said, preparing to leave.
At that moment Karatachi Yagura called out to Darui, "What's your name?" Karatachi Yagura's words immediately drew everyone's attention.
It was only then that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist realized that this guy hadn't said his name, but instead identified himself as the captain of the Anbu, representing the Fourth Raikage A, A.
Darui paused for a moment, then turned around and solemnly said, "Darui, Storm Release ninja Kumogakure." After saying that, he turned and left.
The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, was initially surprised, then a smile crept onto his face. No wonder he became the captain of the Anbu at such a young age; no wonder his Chakra aura was so stable; no wonder he could represent the Raikage to receive them.
This guy has a special bloodline limit, Storm Release, which explains everything.
"This guy..." Jinin Akebino gritted his teeth. He seemed to think that this guy named Darui didn't know how to respect the older generation of ninjas.
"Juzo, you are no match for him." Kushimaru Kuriarare said calmly, though he was wearing a mask, his voice was heavy.
"That's right, Kushimaru Kuriarare's intuition was correct. This guy is giving me a bit of trouble." Suikazan Fuguki always maintained his good-natured image, spoke up.
The strongest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen spoke up, and everyone present turned serious. Ringo Ameyuri, smiled and thought to herself, "Interesting! Very interesting! I must have a match with him sometime."
She enjoys dueling with strong opponents, but she enjoys even more defeating them and then ripping off their heads to savor their terrified expressions before death.
She began to tremble all over, her eyes fixed on Darui's back. Suddenly, Darui paused, then turned his head slightly, his gloomy gaze fixed on Ringo Ameyuri.
That look! Ringo Ameyuri shuddered, hot breath escaping her lips. Her eyes were glazed as she stared at Darui, a voice echoing in her mind, "Kill you, kill you, kill you!"
Her eyes began to redden, and a look of madness appeared on her face. Karatachi Yagura realized something was wrong and called out, "Ringo!"
Ringo Ameyuri suddenly paused, her consciousness returning to her body. She stopped staring at Darui and lowered her head.
After feeling the burning gaze behind him disappear, Darui turned around and left the hotel as if nothing had happened.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That one glance had made even Suikazan Fuguki feel threatened, and Samehada had automatically unwrapped its bandages and prepared for battle.
All of these signs point to one thing: Darui is incredibly powerful!
"Ringo Ameyuri, are you having another episode?" Suikazan Fuguki clicked his tongue, secretly thinking, "This crazy woman."
Ringo Ameyuri paused for a moment, then bowed to everyone. "I'm sorry, everyone, I just can't help getting excited when I encounter someone strong."
Jinin Akebino's body trembled, his lips twitched, and then Ringo Ameyuri glanced at him and said, "Oh, you don't count." These words were like shards of ice in the dead of winter, piercing Jinin Akebino's heart.
The others burst into laughter. Indeed, the original Jinin Akebino was already weak, and without the Kubikiribōchō and the Disillusionment, he was the weakest of the seven.
Karatachi Yagura sighed, "Alright, everyone, let's take a rest. We've been walking for two days. If you're not tired, you can go out and explore the streets, but be careful not to get into any trouble."
"Yes!" Seven voices rang out. Karatachi Yagura, then turned and walked upstairs. He was not interested in the economic situation of the other villages.
Therefore, all he wanted to do now was rest. Suikazan Fuguki's eyes lit up. "Everyone, you've worked hard. Go have some fun. Don't worry about me here."
Suikazan Fuguki jogged a few steps toward Karatachi Yagura, then followed behind him upstairs, chatting and laughing together.
The others looked at each other, then decided to go out together. Ringo Ameyuri, however, said, "I'll go for a walk by myself," and walked towards the door.
Jinin Akebino wanted to say that she was sick, and everyone else thought so too, but in the blink of an eye, Ringo Ameyuri turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The other five had no choice but to go out and have some fun, hoping to see if they could catch Ringo Ameyuri and bring her back. If she went out of control, it would be fine if no one died, but if someone did, things would get complicated!
Ringo Ameyuri went outside, looked at the food on the street, opened the scroll, took out the silver inside, and went to buy some.
The proprietress, recognizing Ringo Ameyuri's Forehead Protector, knew she was a ninja, and a female one at that, so she quickened her pace in preparing her food.
"Your yak skewer." The proprietress handed a grilled yak skewer to Ringo Ameyuri, Ringo Ameyuri took it, said thank you, and then paid.
While enjoying the scenery and customs of Kumogakure, we savored the delicious yak meat.
Take a light bite, and the aroma will soar to your heavens. It's soft, tender, and juicy, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth!
This made Ringo Ameyuri. Beef was a rare commodity in Kirigakure, let alone this kind of high-quality yak!
"Delicious!" Ringo Ameyuri, her face slightly flushed. This was the first time in her life she had ever tasted such delicious beef!
As he walked, he arrived at the main gate, where there were already many people.
Ringo Ameyuri was a person who loved watching a good show. She had a sudden idea, moved quickly, and came to a pillar. She then squatted down, eating beef while looking at the village entrance.
"The Konoha Land of Fire Konoha Ninja, the Hokage of Fire Uchiha Kō!" Obito Uchiha shouted, as if he were calling his own name!
At this moment Uchiha Kō and Namikaze Minato smiled wryly. They exchanged a glance. Originally, they wanted to leave this matter to Namikaze Minato to say a few words to the envoy and enter the village discreetly. Who knew that Obito Uchiha would suddenly speak up and offer to negotiate on behalf of his master.
Uchiha Kō also became interested and agreed to the matter. He hadn't expected Obito Uchiha to negotiate in this way; it was truly...
Upon hearing the sound, Darui immediately tensed up, staring intently at the group ahead with a serious expression.
A total of six people arrived at the village entrance: a little girl, two people with white hair, one with yellow hair, and two people with black hair.
They'd heard of the White Hair group; one of them was Hatake Sakumo, the Konoha's White Fang, and the other was his son Kakashi Hatake.
The blond-haired man is none other than Namikaze Minato, the rumored eldest disciple of Uchiha Kō and the future successor to Hokage.
The female ninja is Nohara Rin, Tsunade's apprentice. As for the two black-haired figures, one is the Hokage Uchiha Kō, and the other is the recently rising Black Death God Obito Uchiha.
The one shouting like that is definitely not Uchiha Kō, it must be Obito Uchiha. His Flying Thunder God and other unpredictable abilities make him appear and disappear unpredictably, making him impossible to defend against.
"Darui, the captain of the Anbu of Kumogakure, is here to greet the esteemed ninja of Konoha!" Darui bowed, his humility reaching its very core.
Uchiha Kō looked at Darui and smiled. "You must be Darui, the Storm Release ninja from Kumogakure. Not bad, you're just one step away from becoming Kage Level ninja!"
"You flatter me, Lord Hokage, this way please." Darui remained respectful as he led the group into the village.
Ringo Ameyuri brightened up. Uchiha Kō, that legendary strongman! The strongman who fought against four countries single-handedly!
And then there's Konoha's White Fang, whose swordsmanship also incorporates Lightning Release Chakra. I really want to have a swordsmanship contest with him!
Ringo Ameyuri a surge of fighting spirit. She looked at Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo, and then disappeared, closely following them, wanting to see where Uchiha Kō and his group were staying.
One hour later
After seeing off the envoy, Obito Uchiha went into a significantly more upscale hotel.
After Darui left, Ringo Ameyuri.
