Hokage Building, Assistant Office.
The sunlight cuts in diagonally through the gaps in the window panes, spreading a slender strip of light on the tabletop.
Kato Shizune was sitting behind the desk, holding a copy of Scroll that had just been taken off Ninja Crow's feet. His eyes paused on the last line of words for a long time, as if he wanted to chew those words over again one by one.
She raised her head and pinched her face hard.
If you feel pain, it's not a dream!
"Those Barbarianss actually surrendered! The sun really came out from the west!"
She whispered to herself, rerolled Scroll, stood up, walked around the desk, and walked towards the door. Her pace was a little faster than usual, with a proud and excited smile on her face.
The light in the corridor was darker than that in the office, and the walls on both sides cast long slanting shadows in the afternoon. When she turned the corner, she spotted a person standing in the center of the corridor ahead of her.
Uchiha Yongye.
Kato Shizune immediately stopped, straightened his back at that moment, lowered his hands from his side, folded them in front of him, and bowed slightly.
"Sir Yongye, are you here to see Lord Hokage? Wait a moment and I will inform you immediately."
There was unabashed gratitude and admiration in her tone, and her eyes were shining when she looked up at Yongye.
Kumogakure's gang of vicious Barbarianss agreed to their sky-high compensation. Although they asked for installment payment, just the word "agree" was enough to make the entire Konoha's senior management feel proud!
In the past, Kumogakure stepped on their Konoha heads several times, acting arrogantly and domineering! What happened to Hyuga Byakugan is not an isolated case.
She knew the reason for all this. Those Barbarians gangs gave in because of the Uchiha boy in front of them.
Yongye's eyes stopped on her face for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he stretched out his hands to hug her into his arms.
I am also used to climbing mountains and ridges naturally.
"Let's go together."
Shizune's body froze for a moment in Yongye's arms, her fingertips curled up slightly, her breathing stopped for a beat, and then sped up again, two red clouds flew up on her face. She knew that Uchiha Yongye's style was bold, and she was mentally prepared, but such a direct approach still made her uncomfortable.
But she didn't break away, she just lowered her head slightly, followed Yongye, and was half hugged by him as he pushed open Hokage Office's door.
Tsunade is sitting behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the documents spread out on the desktop.
She raised her head and stared at the two of them for a moment. She didn't ask anything, she just put down the pen and leaned back on the chair.
Shizune straightened up from Yongye's arms, cleared his throat, his voice was a little calmer than before, and the blush on his face had not completely faded away.
"Lord Hokage, Kumogakure replied and agreed to our compensation plan. However, they asked for payment in installments. Those Barbarians, as you expected, are really convinced this time!"
Tsunade leaned back on the chair and twitched the corner of his mouth, with a cold and sarcastic tone of "I knew it a long time ago".
"They are just brutal and domineering and dare to risk their lives. They are not really crazy."
Shizune nodded, placed Scroll on the corner of the table, then bowed slightly to Tsunade, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Yongye's hand stretched out as she turned around, clasping his fingers on her wrist without any force, but the action itself was enough to keep her steps in place.
"Tsunade Just tell you, I'll ask for my reward."
Shizune's body paused slightly. The light red color that was still fading returned to her face. It was darker than before, spreading from her cheekbones to her ears. She lowered her head and stared at the toes of her shoes. Her voice was a little softer, but still steady.
"Master Yongye, I am ready. This is my honor."
Yongye nodded, and the movements of his hands did not stop. His fingertips slid up her forearm, and there was a sense of calmness and magnanimity in his voice.
"That's good, let's get started."
Shizune raised his head suddenly, his eyes opened half a circle wider than before, and the moment the shyness that remained in his pupils was suppressed, a clearer sense of embarrassment and consternation surged up.
Her mouth was slightly open, her eyes swept from Yongye's face to Tsunade's face, and then back to Yongye's face. Her voice was raised by half a degree, with an uncontrollable trembling at the end.
"Here?"
Yongye smiled but said nothing.
After being viciously recast in his three views, Shizune was overwhelmed, exhausted both physically and mentally, and fell into a deep sleep on the sofa in the office.
Tsunade relied on Senju's physique to carry it to the end and talked about business. "Your Excellency Daimyo was very interested after hearing that Hidan had immortality. I hope you can give Hidan to him."
"As long as you agree, Five Rings Trading Company will say hello to you."
Yongye stretched lazily, with disdain on his face.
"How many Sage of Six Pathss are there under Daimyo?"
"Is he worthy of asking me for something and saying hello to me?"
Tsunade frowned suddenly, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and tried his best to persuade gently.
"Respect Daimyo, this is a thousand-year tradition in the ninja world!"
"Part of our Konoha activity funds depend on Land of Fire Daimyo's allocation."
"Furthermore, by torturing Hidan like this, you appear to be too vicious and hurt your own reputation, and it is also too wasteful, which a wise man would not take."
"It's better to hand it over and get more with one stone."
The look of contempt on Yongye's face became more intense.
"That's your business, what you think, Hidan is my trophy, I can do whatever I want. Remember, I am a real ninja, I work only when it is beneficial! Daimyo's nickname is nothing to me!"
"If he wants to be a free man, he has found the wrong person."
After saying that, Yongye didn't even look at Tsunade, stood up and walked away. A man from the sage's time is so tough and rational!
As for non-sage time, let's talk about it later!
Tsunade opened his mouth, then closed it again, gritting his teeth angrily.
Her eyes fell on the back of Yongye, watching him push open the office door and cross the threshold without even looking back, leaving no room for negotiation. The door panels closed behind him with a neither light nor heavy click.
The office became quiet.
Tsunade slid down from the desk, looked down at himself... he was furious!
She turned her head again and looked at Kato Shizune, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa next to her, and became even more angry!
--She has endured so much humiliation and sacrificed so much, yet he is still as wolf-hearted as ever, not caring about her at all!
Tsunade's eyes paused on Shizune's face for a moment, then withdrew and landed on the empty table in front of him.
Deep in her eyes, the murderous intention that had been suppressed during this period resurfaced, heavier and colder than before. The strong murderous intention surged up from the bottom of her pupils, as if the sand that had been deposited for a long time was finally stirred up.
His cold eyes fell on the door panel, as if he wanted to see through the texture of the solid wood the figure that was fading away in the corridor outside, and then he tightened his grip inch by inch.
"This Byakugan wolf is not well-raised and must be killed!"
