"I'm sorry, I cannot see the Daimyo, and nearly everything in the Daimyo's Mansion right now is managed by Lady Kushina. Please wait here a moment, and I'll go inform Lady Kushina for you."
The head steward of the Daimyo's Mansion said to Konan very politely. After setting out from the Land of Rain, Konan had hurried all the way to the capital of the Land of Fire.
However, the journey was not very smooth. Perhaps because she had not been to the Land of Fire for a long time, Konan felt quite unfamiliar with the changes in the Land of Fire.
Along the way, she had already been questioned three times by the so-called Security Team. Because she could not produce an identification document and entry permit, Konan could only use the Paper Dance Technique to escape or travel through the wilderness, and she still had to use ninjutsu when entering the capital, otherwise there would have been even more questioning.
Fortunately, someone in the Daimyo's Mansion knew about the Akatsuki, otherwise Konan would not even have been able to get through the gates.
After waiting for a while, the steward returned and said to Konan, "Lady Kushina is waiting for you. This guest, please follow me, but only you alone."
"I understand. Sorry for the trouble."
Konan nodded and said. The other party was the Daimyo's Wife after all, and being able to see her was already quite rare; it was impossible for her companions to be received alongside her. After signaling the other Akatsuki members with her eyes, Konan followed the steward inside.
Walking past several courtyards, Konan was finally led to an inner courtyard of the estate. From dozens of meters away, Konan spotted a red-haired woman in white clothes and a black skirt.
