Kazahana Koyuki! Feudal Lord's Envoy! The F4 Courting Death!

Konoha, Hokage Office.

Afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the mahogany desk, yet it could not melt the sudden icy chill in the office.

After finally dealing with the documents that had piled up in Konoha over the past few days, Tobirama was finally going to meet the famous beautiful actress from the Hokage world.

Standing before Tobirama Uchiha was a breathtakingly beautiful woman—or rather, a stunning beauty capable of shaking one's soul.

She wore an unremarkable dark trench coat and sunglasses that covered half her face.

But the moment she removed those sunglasses at Tobirama's request, the entire office seemed to brighten instantly.

Fujikaze Yukie.

Her skin was so fair it seemed almost translucent, as though she had been sculpted from the purest snow and ice.

Her features were exquisitely delicate, especially her eyes, which carried an innate chill and melancholy, like misty ice that could never disperse.

It was a distinctive bearing that could only be cultivated by royal blood living long in an icy land while carrying a heavy past.

"So this is the so-called famous beauty of the Ninja World..."

Leaning back in his chair, Tobirama openly looked Fujikaze Yukie up and down.

She truly lived up to her reputation.

Compared to Tsunade's fiery allure, Pakura's wildness, and Konan's purity, Kazahana Koyuki's beauty possessed an aloof chill that kept others at a distance.

That icy beauty's aura instead stirred an urge to conquer her and melt her completely.

Under Tobirama's intensely invasive gaze, Kazahana Koyuki shrank her neck uneasily.

Her memories still lingered in the past. She only remembered Konoha's Hokage as a decrepit old man, never expecting him to be such a young man with an aura so terrifying it made her struggle to breathe.

"Mm."

Tobirama withdrew his gaze and lightly tapped his fingers against the desk.

"I'll take the mission. However, the schedule needs to change."

"I still have a few final government matters to deal with, so I'll need to delay for a few days. In a few days, I'll personally escort you to the Land of Snow."

"Personally?"

Kazahana Koyuki's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Though she was merely an actress issuing a C-rank mission, she knew what the Hokage represented.

He was the leader of the strongest village in the Ninja World!

Such an important figure was going to escort her personally?

"What? You don't want that?" Tobirama raised a brow.

"No... no! I do! Thank you, Lord Hokage!"

Kazahana Koyuki was somewhat stunned.

Just as the two were conversing pleasantly.

Bang!

The office door was suddenly shoved open with brute force.

"Who is it? This is the Hokage Office!"

The Anbu at the door had just tried to stop them when several guards in lavish samurai attire forcibly shoved him aside.

Immediately after, a sharp, grating voice rang out.

"Move! You lowly ninjas! Do you know who I am?!"

A middle-aged man dressed in rich brocade robes swaggered in, holding a folding fan and wearing a thick layer of white powder on his face.

With his nose pointed skyward, he did not even glance at Kazahana Koyuki standing nearby and walked straight to the desk.

His haughty demeanor made him look like a master inspecting his own territory.

"You're Tobirama Uchiha?"

The middle-aged man pointed his folding fan at Tobirama, his gaze filled with aristocratic arrogance and contempt.

"Why haven't you bowed upon meeting the Feudal Lord's Envoy?"

Kazahana Koyuki was startled by the sudden turn of events and instinctively retreated to the corner, shielding the Protagonist in front of her.

She looked at the arrogant envoy, then at Tobirama, who remained motionless in his chair, and an uneasy feeling rose within her.

The Feudal Lord... he was the nominal ruler of the Land of Fire and controlled its economic lifeline.

Even the Hokage had to show the Feudal Lord some deference, didn't he?

However.

Tobirama did not even shift in his seat.

He remained with one leg crossed over the other, even lifting his teacup for a sip, his eyes amused.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Of course!"

With a snap, the envoy opened his folding fan and covered his nose and mouth as though even the air here was filthy.

"Tobirama Uchiha, you started a war without authorization, embezzled reparations from every nation, and even proclaimed yourself Acting Hokage. You have absolutely no respect for the law!"

"The Feudal Lord is furious!"

"The Feudal Lord now commands you to accompany me to the capital city immediately, report for duty at the Feudal Lord's Mansion, and seek the Feudal Lord's forgiveness and formal appointment!"

"Otherwise, the Feudal Lord will cut off all financial support to Konoha and rally the entire Ninja World to punish you, a traitor!"

After speaking, the envoy arrogantly lifted his chin, waiting to see Tobirama panic and kneel to beg for mercy.

In his view, no matter how strong ninjas were, they were merely dogs raised by the Feudal Lord.

Cut off their food, and the dogs would obediently listen.

After a long moment.

Tobirama suddenly laughed.

"Heh..."

His laughter carried disdain and killing intent.

With a little thought, he understood what was going on.

The Feudal Lord?

What courage did that useless bastard, who spent all day chasing women and watching plays, have to speak to him like this?

It had to be those rats in the village who had not yet been wiped out, scheming behind the scenes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō... you really were in a hurry to meet the Death God.

"What are you laughing at?!" The envoy's scalp tingled from the laughter as he shouted sternly, "Why aren't you kneeling to accept the favor?!"

"Accept the favor?"

Tobirama set down his teacup and slowly raised his eyes.

His originally black pupils instantly transformed into scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Go back and tell that useless Feudal Lord."

Tobirama's voice was calm, yet it was like a cold wind blowing from Nine Netherworld Hell:

"Tell him to roll himself over to Konoha."

"Also, he'd better crawl into the Hokage Building on his knees. If his posture isn't proper enough, I don't mind replacing the Feudal Lord."

"W-what?"

The envoy's eyes nearly popped out, and the folding fan in his hand dropped to the floor with a clatter.

Mad!

This ninja had gone mad!

He actually dared tell the Feudal Lord to roll over here? He even wanted to replace the Feudal Lord?

Kazahana Koyuki covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

This

Just how arrogant was this man...?

"Outrageous! Insolent! Rebel!"

After recovering, the envoy trembled with rage, even the finger pointing at Tobirama shaking.

"You... you actually dare utter such treasonous words!"

"You are merely a dog that we raised—"

Boom!

Before he could say the word "dog."

An unimaginably terrifying chakra pressure erupted from Tobirama without warning, becoming almost tangible.

The air throughout the Hokage Office seemed to freeze instantly as the pressure increased a hundredfold!

"Thud!"

The envoy's knees gave out, and he crashed heavily to the floor.

"Ahhh!"

But he could not cry out at all.

A bone-chilling killing intent had already clamped tightly around his throat.

He felt like an ant being watched by a Giant Dragon, every cell in his body screaming that he was going to die.

His arrogance, insolence, and superiority vanished in an instant.

In their place was the miserable sight of him soiling himself, along with fear that seeped into his bones.

"A dog that what?"

Tobirama slowly rose to his feet and looked down at the trembling envoy kneeling on the floor, his gaze that of one looking at a dead man.

"Spare... spare me..."

Tears and mucus streamed down the envoy's face. He wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy, but the pressure pinned him down so thoroughly that he could not even raise his head.

"S-someone told me to say that... I don't want to die..."

"Oh? Someone?"

Tobirama walked over, grabbed his hair, and forced him to raise his head.

The scarlet Sharingan slowly turned.

Mangekyō genjutsu activated!

"Look into my eyes."

"Tell me, who was the one who went to the Feudal Lord and incited him?"

The envoy's terrified eyes instantly became vacant, like a puppet whose soul had been pulled away.

Under the genjutsu's absolute control, he had no secrets left to hide.

"It... it was Hiruzen Sarutobi..."

The envoy said blankly:

"Three days ago... Hiruzen Sarutobi sent a trusted subordinate with a secret letter and a large sum of money... saying Tobirama Uchiha was going to rebel... asking the Feudal Lord to suppress him..."

"The Feudal Lord believed him... so he sent me here..."

As expected.

Tobirama released him and tossed the envoy aside like garbage.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, it seems you truly have had enough of living."

"Since you refuse to be decent, I'll help you be decent."

Kazahana Koyuki, standing nearby, had already been stunned speechless.

With merely one glance and one shout.

That envoy representing the nation's highest authority had been frightened into wetting himself and exposed everything like a dead dog?

This

That was... so cool!

"Someone."

Tobirama pulled out a tissue, wiped the hand that had touched the envoy, and spoke indifferently.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several Anbu appeared in an instant and dropped to one knee.

"Throw this trash out. Don't dirty my floor."

"Also, notify all Jonin Squad captains and the Uchiha Elite Force."

"Gather."

Tobirama donned his Hokage Cloak and turned to look out the window, toward the Sarutobi Clan's territory.

A cruel curve rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Now—"

Kazahana Koyuki looked at the killing intent radiating from Tobirama and could not help asking softly, "Lord Hokage... are you going to...?"

Tobirama turned back and gave the peerless beauty a dazzling yet dangerous smile.

"Your mission will have to wait a little longer, but not for long."

"I'll kill a few people, then come back and take you to the Land of Snow."

"Consider it... entertainment before the journey."
