"What happened?"
Jiraiya frowned and asked.
Konan did not answer.
The moment his spirit returned to his body, his eyes snapped open, blazing with a hateful light that seemed to set the void ablaze!
" Obito!!!"
Konan growled through gritted teeth!
His fingers were clenched so tightly that his nails dug directly into the flesh of his palm, and the overflowing scarlet blood dripped onto the floor!
This was a stark contrast to Konan, who previously had a gloomy look in her eyes and exuded a deathly aura.
Even Nagato's eyes!!
Nagato's Magic Lantern Body Technique, created using the Rinnegan, was easily mastered by Obito!
In this situation, Konan assumed that Obito had taken Nagato's eyes, which was why he was able to control Nagato's self-created techniques!
Forget about protecting them, now they have to watch Obito uses Nagato's corpse to control the organization the three of them founded!
This overwhelming resentment!!
His body trembled slightly, and the Chakra within him surged uncontrollably!
" Konan, calm down!!"
Jiraiya gave a soft shout, "Don't let your anger consume your reason!"
"That's right."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "While it's difficult for you to avenge Obito against Obito on your own, it's still a long shot."
"But with the intelligence you provide, and the combined efforts of our major powers, we're sure to make that Obito guy pay the price he deserves!"
Tsunade spoke, an indescribable anger flashed in her eyes as well!
The provocation Chunin Alliance meeting, Asuma's death, yesterday's battle, the sacrificed Anbu...
Besides my grandfather, there are also the corpses of all the previous Hokage!
All of this...
Tsunade's resentment towards Obito was also considerable!
"Knock knock knock!"
The Anbu who entered the room bowed his head and reported, " Lord Hokage, the rooms of those two Kirigakure are protected by a barrier, so we can't investigate."
Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance for a moment, then Tsunade stood up and instructed, " Kakashi and Shikaku, come with me to see what's going on. Jiraiya, you stay here and have a good talk with Konan."
Besides gathering information from Konan, Konan was Jiraiya tasked with keeping an eye on her!
After all, this is Konoha, and Konan was a full member of Akatsuki just a few days ago!
At the same time, Haruma, who had returned to the room directly using the Flying Thunder God, waved his hand to cancel the room's barrier.
Just as Shisui- legged on the bed, was about to speak, Haruma stopped him.
"Let's go. It seems Konoha doesn't welcome us."
Haruma spoke, a playful smile appeared on her lips.
Fortunately, before returning from the shrine, Haruma had visited the shop that Kirigakure had opened in Konoha and put the banknotes she had been saving into her pocket.
Although I only stayed in Konoha for a day, I didn't miss any of the important things that needed to be done.
Just as Haruma finished speaking, a knock sounded on the door.
"Knock knock knock,"
"Knock knock knock!"
"I'll do it!"
Seeing that the wooden door remained unresponsive for a long time, Tsunade frowned slightly and immediately told the Anbu who was knocking to step back.
Tsunade forward and grasped the doorknob, applying slight pressure...
"Click, click,"
The crack that started at the handle quickly spread to the entire door panel!
"Sizzle!"
The shattered wooden door collapsed, and Tsunade and the others finally saw the scene inside the room.
Shisui, meditating cross-legged on the bed, and someone else sitting on the edge of the bed with their legs crossed...
Meeting Haruma's amused gaze, Tsunade the broken doorknob, her expression slightly embarrassed...
" Lord Hokage, what's going on?"
"Cough cough..."
Tsunade coughed lightly, " The Anbu who were responsible for protecting you earlier discovered an unfamiliar barrier in the room, so..."
Tsunade spoke, her face flushed slightly, and her gaze shifted inexplicably.
If it were a cunning old fox like the Third or Danzo, they would have delivered such an obvious lie with righteous indignation and a look of deep concern.
But when it came to Tsunade, who was more easily embarrassed, she felt guilty and dared not meet Haruma's ambiguous gaze.
"Protect..."
Haruma's gaze swept over Tsunade, Kakashi, and the others. "Back in Kirigakure, when your Konoha team set up a barrier at the guesthouse, you didn't seem to encounter Kirigakure Ninja coming to protect you, did you?"
Tsunade's lips parted slightly, wanting to explain but unsure how to begin.
The visiting team was in Kirigakure just a few days ago...
The Uchiha Clan have only been here for one day, and they've already been summoned by Konoha because of the barrier issue...
Sage Fukasaku noticed something unusual about the portrait of Haruma, Konan was summoned by a spell, and a barrier appeared around the inn room.
Tsunade had a reason to break down the door, but at this moment she couldn't explain it...
"Let's go, Shisui."
The moment Haruma stood up, her expression was utterly indifferent.
"Since Konoha doesn't welcome us, let's go back to Kirigakure."
" The Uchiha Clan... is indeed not suitable for Konoha."
Haruma sighed softly, bypassing Tsunade and heading straight for the door.
Shisui stood up, shook his head, and quickly followed.
"How?"
Haruma glanced at the two Anbu standing at the door, then turned to Tsunade and chuckled, "Upgraded from door-breaking protection to personal bodyguards?"
Despite Haruma's mockery, the two Anbu showed no intention of stepping aside, simply watching Tsunade's back and waiting for the Hokage's response.
Previously, Shikaku analyzed that the alliance between the two villages, despite the potential dissatisfaction of the Uchiha Clan being monitored, wouldn't necessarily lead to a complete breakdown in relations, right?
Haruma's sudden departure was beyond Tsunade's expectations!
Even Shikaku, the Hokage's AI, frowned and looked somewhat incredulous!
Although Jiraiya had told him that this person was a high-ranking member of Kirigakure, how could he explain to the Mizukage how he so readily turned against him over such a trivial matter?
Shikaku took a deep look at the handsome, black-haired boy, silently analyzing in his heart:
Either this person doesn't care about the Mizukage's attitude or punishment, or this person's status in Kirigakure is higher than imagined!
Of course, there's still a one in ten thousand chance...
This guy named Haruma is a complete airhead who can't see the bigger picture.
Time ticked by, and the silence in the room grew increasingly eerie.
Tsunade was still hesitating about how to dissuade someone, or rather, how to keep someone from intervening.
A sudden low shout interrupted their thoughts!
" Shisui, make your move!"
Tsunade could roughly guess what Haruma and the others were thinking, but he had no patience to waste any more time!
As soon as Haruma finished speaking, Shisui's body stiffened slightly, and he reflexively began to unleash the Chakra within his body!
Although Shisui wasn't very smart, he was obedient!
Its aura, comparable to the peak of the Kage Level, instantly stirred up an endless wave of energy in the room!
The Susanoo skeleton appeared, its flickering green flames burning silently!
"Etc!!"
A look of horror flashed in Tsunade's eyes as she saw the raised skeletal arm!
Do these two guys not consider the consequences of their actions at all?!
Haruma a raised hand, Shisui instantly halted Shishui's attack!
" Lord Hokage, can we leave now?"
Haruma asked with a light laugh.
"Get out of the way!"
Even setting aside the manpower losses that would result from capturing the two, Kirigakure wouldn't be able to explain themselves to Konoha!
After all, the suspicion surrounding Haruma was merely a guess by a few people, without any substantial evidence whatsoever!
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Tsunade's face turned incredibly grim!
"Madman!"
