Anko was easygoing and uninhibited, but a gleam still flashed through her eyes when she saw Bai Ye.
At that moment, Anko genuinely felt she had made the right choice coming here!
For starters, she could tag along for a free meal!
Who didn't know Bai Ye was the richest person in Konoha these days?
Everyone in Konoha knew Bai Ye had spent a fortune to keep Tsunade in the village!
The Akimichi Clan's barbecue was the most expensive in Konoha.
In the past, Anko would have had to order very carefully.
But with Bai Ye here, things were different!
With him around, she could order to her heart's content.
Of course...
There was another, more important matter that Anko felt she had to settle with Bai Ye.
After all, quite a few years had passed.
She wasn't as angry as she had been back then.
But she was Anko... and she loved holding grudges!!!!
"Oh, Anko. Long time no see. Have you eaten? Join us if you haven't."
The corner of Bai Ye's eye twitched when he saw Anko, but he quickly recovered.
My luck doesn't seem particularly good today...
In that brief moment, Bai Ye could sense a subtle, inexplicable shift in the atmosphere.
"Sure! I thought you'd start keeping your distance from me once you became Hokage!"
"The Hokage comes from the people. How could I lose touch with the masses? Anko, your political awareness is a little lacking!"
"Huh?"
Wait, what?!
You're one to talk!
Anko's expression instantly froze when she heard him.
She had only tossed out a casual remark. This wasn't what she had wanted to get into.
Anko had her own pace.
How could she have expected Bai Ye to come back with something like that?!
He left her at a complete loss
