Tobirama Senju was stunned. He suddenly lost his footing and fell headfirst to the ground like an overturned tree.
The people following behind were stunned.
I never imagined that the Second Hokage would make such a basic mistake.
" Second Hokage, are you alright?!"
Shikajin Nara hurriedly landed on the ground.
The group of ninjas following closely behind also quickly caught up.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he saw the Second Hokage approaching the ground, and he immediately leaped up and landed steadily on the ground.
However, he was clearly losing face.
However, the thought of that figure he had just seen immediately put Tobirama Senju on edge.
"Be careful, there are unknown people nearby!"
These unexpected words immediately put everyone on edge.
Seeing the Second Hokage looking as if facing a formidable enemy was completely beyond their expectations.
" Second Hokage, we meet again."
The unexpected sound rang out abruptly.
Everyone's expression changed, even the Second Hokage, who hurriedly turned around to look in the direction of the voice.
The first thing that caught my eye was an unexpected figure.
Looking at this figure, which had appeared out of nowhere.
There was a clear sense of surprise on my part.
Those who were able to accompany the Second Hokage on this emergency mission are considered the elite of the elite within Konoha Ninja Village.
If someone is unable to perceive the presence of someone in front of them, it can be described as carelessness.
But none of the many people present noticed anything amiss.
If, in that split second, this person had chosen to strike suddenly...
What awaits them is likely an unexpected death.
In an instant, everyone's nerves were on edge, and they all adopted a vigilant posture, including Tobirama Senju.
He secretly clenched the Kunai in his hand.
Looking back at what happened two years ago, Tobirama Senju now wishes he could slap himself in the face.
Why do I have to think about this guy?
They expended a great deal of effort, and the Anbu searched for two whole years, but couldn't find a single trace.
Now he suddenly appears, and of all times, he shows up while he's bragging.
This is probably the biggest social media frenzy ever!
" Tobirama, don't be impulsive. Bai Yu saved us from the ambush by Kumogakure."
Even before Mito Uzumaki arrived, his shouts could already be heard rapidly in the distance.
It felt like I wanted to scream my throat out.
Tobirama Senju paused for a moment, watching seven or eight familiar figures rapidly approaching from afar. At the same time, he Tobirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief.
Still not daring to relax even a little, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak.
" Bai Yu, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you here."
"However, may I speak with Mito first?"
Shikajin Nara and the others froze, somewhat incredulous.
Is this still the powerful Second Hokage they know?
Mito Uzumaki did mention earlier that this person saved them while serving under the Cloud Ninja.
However, there are at least a dozen elite members of Konoha's Anbu here now.
Furthermore, the Second Hokage and the wife of the First Hokage, Lady Mito present.
Both in terms of numbers and the situation, it was in their favor.
Despite being a legendary Tobirama Senju in their eyes, Tobirama Senju spoke in a consultative tone.
This undoubtedly overturned their understanding.
Most importantly, when faced with the Second Hokage's respectful inquiry, Bai Yu simply took a sip of wine and nodded casually in response.
Upon receiving this reply, Tobirama Senju secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked past Bai Yu to join Mito Uzumaki.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, who were following closely behind Mito Uzumaki, also arrived quickly.
Seeing that nothing serious had happened, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In particular, along the way, after receiving approval from Hiruzen Sarutobi Mito Uzumaki the others revealed what had happened two years ago.
Sakumo Hatake and the other arrogant Anbu the Anbu looked at Bai Yu with an intense, unyielding fear in their eyes.
In particular, the battle at the Valley of the End, despite Hiruzen Sarutobi's deliberate attempt to downplay it and present it in a mediocre manner, still became quite vivid and compelling.
I originally planned to downplay Bai Yu's popularity.
Unfortunately, things clearly didn't go as planned.
After all, it was Bai Yu who killed Madara Uchiha.
This one battle alone is enough to leave others far behind.
" Sakumo, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Shikajin Nara's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice.
"Did you see this guy? The Second Hokage was too kind and gave him face, but he's really gotten too big for his britches."
Does he not know what it means to be in a position of power when others are stronger?
"How dare they speak to the Second Hokage like that? Only the Second Hokage has a good temper; otherwise, I would have already slammed my fist on the table and stood up."
"Although there's no table here..."
Seeing Shikajin Nara muttering to himself, Sakumo Hatake almost exploded, slapping him twice and telling him to shut up.
Let this guy go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else...
Unfortunately, I remembered Bai Yu's gag order and Mito Uzumaki's instructions.
Sakumo Hatake could only suppress his anger and glare fiercely at his friend, who had always been a bit dim-witted.
Hopefully, this guy will understand and shut up, so he won't learn the lesson of "loose lips sink ships."
Unfortunately, the moment this thought crossed his mind, what reached Sakumo Hatake's ears was a voice that made his scalp tingle.
" Sakumo, come quick and look! There's a really strange little cat on that guy's shoulder. It looks like it has nine tails. It's so cute!"
"This guy wouldn't have deliberately chosen a strange, mutated kitten to raise as the Nine-Tails, would he? If he knew that the mighty Nine-Tails was in the hands of our Konoha Ninja Village, I wonder what his expression would be."
"However, this guy's kitten does look really cute. If I could, I'd like to have one of those cats too!"
Sakumo Hatake's muscles stiffened.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were no exception.
The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, who had been on Mito Uzumaki, suddenly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shouted.
" Shikaha, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. I find it hard to understand why the Nara Clan, known for its wisdom and quick wit, would produce such an oddball."
"If it weren't for the fact that raising this kind of cat is a bit too exhausting, I'd want one too, not just you."
" Sakumo, shut this guy up and teach him a lesson about what it means to have trouble coming out of your mouth."
Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake, who had been holding back his anger, finally found an outlet.
He quickly clenched his fists, and to Shikajin Nara's utter bewilderment, pulled out a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
It came full.
As for the strange cat that was described as somewhat troublesome, it yawned on Bai Yu's shoulder, revealing a hint of human-like disdain.
