The sun rose in the east, and people came and went. In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Ye Ning changed into clean clothes that didn't smell of alcohol and walked out of the Senju Clan Grounds.
The morning's events had finally come to an end with Tsunade fleeing to Konoha Hospital.
But after Tsunade had put him through all that, it had taken a long time for his heart to settle down. Knowing she definitely didn't want to see him right now, he didn't take it upon himself to visit her at Konoha Hospital. Instead, he wandered around Konoha like a street loafer.
Even though he had been in Konoha for so long and had visited most places, Ye Ning seemed to have maxed out his terrible sense of direction. After turning a few corners, he got lost again.
As he walked, the houses and streets around him grew unfamiliar.
Just as Ye Ning was wandering aimlessly along the street, his vision suddenly went dark—an Anbu member in full gear appeared abruptly in front of him.
Having learned from Danzo's example, the Anbu member kept his posture humble. Before Ye Ning could even say a word, he gave him a flawless bow:
"Your Highness Ye Ning, Lord Hokage requests your presence."
That old Third Hokage?
Ye Ning tilted his head, looking perplexed.
What did the old man want with him?
Was he planning to stir up trouble again?
Wait, that didn't make sense! Danzo, the main force behind any trouble, was already in prison. How could the Third Hokage still be in the mood to come after him?
Or... had the Third Hokage found out about Danzo's current situation and summoned him to ask him to put in a good word for Danzo?
Ye Ning didn't budge.
