"We seem to be confined here by them. Is this really okay?"

From a window of the Kirigakure post station, Shino covertly released his insects, watching the Kirigakure Ninja guarding the building.

They were now completely under house arrest.

"Since they haven't attacked us, we should be fine."

Having arrived at the post station safely, Yuhi Kurenai relaxed slightly.

Thankfully, these Kirigakure Ninja still had some honor and didn't resort to the worst-case scenario: luring them into Kirigakure for an ambush.

If that had happened, she, as the teacher who made the decision to follow the Kirigakure Ninja into the village, would bear full responsibility.

But entering the village was the only option.

If they hadn't entered the village and had resisted the Kirigakure Ninja, they would have become the culprits responsible for the failure of this alliance mission.

If that happened when they returned to Konoha Village…

Yuhi Kurenai could already imagine the public criticism Konoha White Fang had faced in the village.

"It's all the Third Hokage's fault!"

If they were just being used as bait and others had been sent to Kirigakure to form the alliance, he should have made that clear beforehand, instead of putting them in such a predicament.

He really didn't treat them like people at all.

"Teacher, be careful what you say. Hokage-sama is also considering things cautiously."

Honestly, Uchiha Kage was quite eager for a fight to break out in Kirigakure.

With so many Ninja, a fight would surely yield a lot of fragments.

He also felt a bit regretful that he hadn't managed to obtain Terumi Mei's Ninja fragment last time.

"Trusting the village is a good thing, but this time…"

Yuhi Kurenai decided to properly educate this disciple who blindly trusted the Hokage.

"If we hadn't agreed to follow these Kirigakure Ninja into the village, there's a high probability we would have ended up like the Konoha White Fang…"

Although White Fang's death had been covered up by the Konoha Upper Echelon and he was still regarded as a hero of Konoha, Yuhi Kurenai knew the real reason for his death.

Back then, she didn't understand anything, but now she felt like she understood a little.

Especially after noticing the increasingly abnormal behavior of the Third Hokage recently.

"Maybe White Fang's death was also related to the Third Hokage's orders."

"What…?"

After hearing Yuhi Kurenai recount the events of that year and point the finger at Hokage-sama, both Hinata and Shino were shocked.

So, the great and glorious Third Hokage they had always believed in wasn't a true gentleman after all.

"Teacher, that's completely a conspiracy theory. How could Hokage-sama possibly force a village hero to his death?"

It seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's recall of Uchiha Itachi had already sown seeds of distrust towards the Hokage.

However, Uchiha Kage really hadn't expected that Yuhi Kurenai would come up with these ideas on her own before he had even started implementing his plan to spread conspiracy theories.

"Hmph, even if it's a conspiracy theory, I don't believe White Fang's death had nothing to do with the Hokage."

Anyway, they weren't in Konoha Village, and there were only four of them in the room. Yuhi Kurenai didn't care at all how rebellious her words were.

"I wonder who the Hokage sent to formally form the alliance with Kirigakure? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Didn't that Female Ninja in blue clothes say that the main representative would come to verify their identities?

----

"Cough…"

Actually, Hyuga Hiashi had arrived at the entrance of the post station long ago after hearing the news.

He just happened to overhear Yuhi Kurenai inside discussing criticisms of the Hokage that he wouldn't voice aloud, so he stopped at the door.

How could Hokage-sama intentionally harm White Fang?

This Yuhi Kurenai had become a Jonin, for goodness' sake, how could her thinking be so improper?

What if she corrupted Hinata with such thoughts?

Hyuga Hiashi was a little angry, but he also knew that this was Kirigakure, and it really wasn't appropriate to say such things.

So, after signaling with his eyes to the two Hyuga guards beside him not to spread the comments they had heard, he leisurely reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock…

However, for Hokage-sama to actually have Team 8, where Hinata was, carry out the bait mission was too…

He wasn't taking him, the Hyuga Clan Head, seriously at all.

"Father! Why are you here?"

Hearing the knock, Hinata used her Byakugan to see who was outside and quickly opened the door.

"Because I am Konoha's representative for this alliance with Kirigakure."

Hyuga Hiashi walked into the room, glanced at the Uchiha boy behind his daughter, and then turned to Yuhi Kurenai.

"Miss Kurenai, do you still have what Hokage-sama entrusted to you?"

Kirigakure hadn't said they wouldn't form an alliance with Konoha, nor had they said they were willing to.

That mostly meant they weren't satisfied with the trade concessions Sarutobi Hiruzen had offered and wanted to extract more benefits.

However, Hyuga Hiashi wasn't clear on why the Kirigakure Ninja hated Konoha so much.

Almost none of the Ninja gave him a pleasant look.

Even though the Third Shinobi World War had been over for so long…

Moreover, Kirigakure had only recently begun to emerge from its isolationist state, so logically, Konoha shouldn't have offended Kirigakure.

"Hokage-sama ordered us to form an alliance with Kirigakure as soon as possible, so…"

"You're the Konoha representative, and so are we."

Yuhi Kurenai didn't intend to hand over the Ninja Sword and Zabuza's corpse so easily.

One reason was to help Uchiha Kage cover up the loss of Samehada, and the other was to express her dissatisfaction with the Hokage.

"If you want us to give you the items, you'll need an order from Hokage-sama."

The mission scroll clearly stated that the items were to be used for negotiations with Kirigakure. Logically, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't just hand over the mission items to someone else.

"But…"

The Hokage was far away in Konoha, and it would take at least several days for a messenger to travel back and forth. Hyuga Hiashi was worried that if they dragged this on, Kirigakure, who was originally willing to form an alliance, might change their mind.

"We Ninja take completing missions as our duty. Senior Hiashi wouldn't want us to fail in the mission Hokage-sama assigned to Team 8, would he?"

Anyway, they were just carrying out the mission according to the mission content. Even if they failed to form an alliance, it wouldn't be their fault.

On the other hand, if they handed over the items like this and something went wrong, they might become scapegoats.

Although Yuhi Kurenai had only been promoted to Jonin for a few years, she had a lot of mission experience.

"You…"

These words left Hyuga Hiashi speechless. Helpless, he could only look at his daughter, hoping Hinata could help persuade Yuhi Kurenai.

But what frustrated him even more was that Hinata completely ignored his signals and instead shielded the Uchiha boy behind her in front of him.

She seemed only worried that he would make trouble for the Little Kid…

Truly, daughters weren't meant to stay home forever.

"I will truthfully convey this to Hokage-sama."

"Is that so? Then I will also truthfully convey to the Hokage that Senior Hiashi caused the Kirigakure People to hate Konoha so much that we were immediately placed under house arrest upon arrival."

Two can play at that game.

Although he was the Hyuga clan head, Yuhi Kurenai wasn't afraid of him at all.

"I… I will inform the Kirigakure People to have the Ninja surrounding the perimeter leave."

Shaking his head, Hyuga Hiashi, unable to think of a good solution, had no choice but to walk out of the room with his guards.

----

----

"He's just as weak as the Uchiha Clan Head from back then…"

Watching Hyuga Hiashi leave the post station and then explain something to the Kirigakure Ninja with a friendly expression, Yuhi Kurenai didn't feel much joy from having argued with this Hyuga Clan Head. Instead, she felt that Konoha Village didn't feel like the number one Shinobi Village at all.

"Ah, sorry, Hinata, I didn't mean to target your Father on purpose."

Seeing Hinata beside her seeming hesitant to speak, Yuhi Kurenai quickly explained.

"It's just that this mission…"

"I don't blame Teacher. Father is the one in the wrong."

Hinata considerately shook her head.

She was just worried that her Father would treat her Teacher and her other two companions badly in the future because of this matter.

"It's Hokage-sama's fault. Your Father is just…"

Just acting according to orders.

The blame should be placed on the senile Third Hokage.

"Teacher, your comments are too dangerous."

Of course, Uchiha Kage hoped Yuhi Kurenai would say more, but on the surface, he still had to pretend.

After all, he still had to work in the Anbu after returning to the village.

"What does a Little Kid like you know about politics? Shut up and listen to your Teacher."

Yuhi Kurenai glared at this Disciple who always contradicted her.

Hmph, had Kage been brainwashed by the Third Hokage's Will of Fire?

Also…

When she took the opportunity to try to rub this Disciple's cheeks, she was dodged again.

Damn it, now that he was healed, he wouldn't let her touch him, huh?

"Yes, Teacher."

Uchiha Kage dodged the Female Teacher's groping hand while looking at the scenery of Kirigakure Village outside the window.

"But what should we do next? Just keep waiting here?"

Should he cause some commotion?

But if he really caused the alliance to fail, it would bury a pit for himself after returning to the village…

Uchiha Kage was a little conflicted.

"Now that we're here, of course we're going to take a good look around Kirigakure."

The Kirigakure Ninja outside the post station had already left. Although there were still a few lurking in the shadows, Yuhi Kurenai didn't care anymore.

It was broad daylight. Instead of going out for a walk, were they supposed to get moldy in the room?

Besides, on this kind of overseas mission, if they didn't buy some souvenirs to bring back, Anko and the others would complain.

----

"The conditions offered by Konoha are not bad. Why didn't Lord Genshi agree?"

Being able to open trade with the Land of Fire and Konoha Village would undoubtedly be a great thing for Kirigakure's debt-ridden financial situation.

Moreover, they didn't need to form a military alliance. It was simply beneficial without any harm.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe the longer we wait, the more Konoha will concede."

Genshi saw from the faces of Hyuga Hiashi and the others that they seemed a little anxious.

So he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"That's right. They sent so many Ninja over here. They must be planning to form an alliance with us no matter what."

"Lord Genshi, can I go and test the strength of that Uchiha Ninja who just arrived in the village?"

Just as Genshi and the other Elders were about to finish discussing the matter, Terumi Mei, who was acting as a Ninja guard, suddenly interjected.

"Oh, is that the boy you and Ao encountered in the Land of Waves last time?"

Genshi had also learned before that Terumi Mei had suffered a defeat at the hands of a Konoha Ninja.

He was also a little curious.

His proud Female Disciple, the future Mizukage successor, had actually suffered a setback at the hands of an ordinary Konoha boy.

Even though Terumi Mei had repeatedly stated that the other party had used despicable means, the Ninja who could do such a thing and still make Terumi Mei hold a grudge certainly wouldn't be ordinary.

"Yes."

Seeing the Elders' amused smiles, Terumi Mei only felt embarrassed.

Good things never spread, but bad things travel a thousand miles.

"Then go ahead, but remember not to cause too much of a commotion. Kirigakure and Konoha still need to form an alliance."

"Understood!"

After receiving a positive answer, Terumi Mei nodded with a relaxed expression and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

----

On the streets of Kirigakure Village.

"I have a bad feeling."

Uchiha Kage looked at the back of his hand. He hadn't felt this kind of goosebumps in a long time.

It seemed that even if he didn't try to mess things up here, Kirigakure probably wouldn't be peaceful recently.

"My insects have the same feeling."

Shino was also staring at the flying insect on his finger.

"Compared to the prosperity of Konoha Village, this place really feels like it's in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt."

Yuhi Kurenai wasn't as sensitive as her two Disciples.

She had originally wanted to come to the streets of Kirigakure Village to find something new and fun to bring back to the village, but there was nothing special at all.

Moreover, there weren't many people out doing business.

"Hinata, let's go take a look over there."

Holding her Female Disciple's hand, Yuhi Kurenai finally saw a slightly more unique shop.

"Ah, Teacher, that's…"

A women's lingerie store?

The moment she saw the sign, Hinata's cheeks instantly turned crimson.

"Wearing fishnet lingerie all day long won't do. Although we're Ninja, we're also women. Let's go pick out a few pieces. Teacher will pay."

Yuhi Kurenai pulled her Female Disciple, who was a little unwilling due to shyness, into the store and then looked at her two male Disciples.

"Do you want to come in and take a look? This is a rare opportunity!"

Seeing that the store didn't have a sign saying that men weren't allowed to enter, Yuhi Kurenai wanted to take this opportunity to tease her two male Disciples.

They had been tense the whole way, and now that they had arrived at their destination, it was time to relax.

"I'll go take a look somewhere else."

Shino was obviously as shy as Hinata.

"Teacher…"

Uchiha Kage was a little interested. Although Samui in the space was now wearing the new clothes he had given her, she didn't have suitable lingerie yet.

Before he released her, it was better to have her wear more armor.

After all, this was his personal property.

However, just as Uchiha Kage was about to find an excuse to go in, the Boss of the store suddenly kicked Yuhi Kurenai and Hinata, who had just gone in, out.

"Konoha Ninja!? We don't do business with Konoha Ninja! Please leave!"

After coming out, the Boss also glared fiercely at Uchiha Kage, who was wearing clothing with the Uchiha clan crest.

"Especially Uchiha!"

"Why is it like this…"

Did Kirigakure hate Konoha to this extent?

"Are the Uchiha so unpopular?"

Why did everyone hate them…

Uchiha Kage remembered that Samui had also said this.

"They are guests from Konoha, not enemies. Sell to them."

However, just as Yuhi Kurenai was about to argue with the Boss, the Female Ninja who had let them into the village earlier appeared in front of everyone again.

Moreover, she helped them persuade the lingerie store Boss.

"Yes, Terumi Mei-sama."

The Boss recognized Terumi Mei's identity and didn't stop Yuhi Kurenai from entering the store again, but she still didn't have too much of a good look for these Konoha Ninja.

"Thank you. You've helped us again."

Yuhi Kurenai now had a very good impression of this Female Ninja who had helped them twice.

So Kirigakure also had reasonable people like this.

Yuhi Kurenai sized up the Female Ninja in front of her.

Emerald green eyes, reddish-brown crossed long curly hair covering her right eye showing mystery, a full figure, fair and tender skin, and moist lips full of sexiness.

Moreover, the blue tube dress she was wearing and the eye-catching white belt around her waist further highlighted this charm.

This Female Ninja was also so beautiful… truly beautiful and kind-hearted.

"You're welcome."

Terumi Mei nodded faintly.

However, her gaze didn't focus much on Yuhi Kurenai, the Konoha Jonin, but instead stared fixedly at the figure of a certain boy.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Shouldn't you give your own name before asking for someone else's?"

So she was here to cause trouble.

Uchiha Kage felt that the bad feeling he had earlier might come true.

"You…"

What was going on?

Why did this woman stare at his Disciple as soon as she came?

Yuhi Kurenai's impression of this Kirigakure Female Ninja began to greatly diminish.

"My name is Terumi Mei."

Terumi Mei flicked the hair beside her ear with her hand.

"Little Kid, I haven't forgotten the humiliation you brought me last time!"

"That was your own fault."

Just like a certain Female Ninja from Kumogakure.

Uchiha Kage thought that it was just that his strength and abilities hadn't recovered at that time. If it were now, Samui in the space would have one more cellmate.

"Isn't it all because of you despicable Konoha Ninja, who don't even spare the corpses of our Kirigakure Ninja!"

Terumi Mei wouldn't admit that she was wrong!

"Aren't we returning them to you now?"

Uchiha Kage's headache was that he was found by the other party. He didn't expect that he couldn't avoid it.

"One thing is one thing. You humiliated me. Unless I agree, you Konoha can forget about forming an alliance with our Kirigakure!"

"Hu... Humiliated!!"

So Kage and this Female Ninja knew each other a long time ago?

Not only was Yuhi Kurenai looking back and forth at Uchiha Kage and Terumi Mei's expressions, but even Hinata was a little uneasy.

"In...In short… unless you have a fair and upright fight with me now, I will definitely hinder your mission!"

Accidentally letting it slip, Terumi Mei was also a little shy.

But she still forced a face and made a request.

"If you're afraid, you can have your Teacher and your companions come at me together."

Lest she be said to be an Elite Jonin bullying people.

"Okay, but what if you lose?"

Now that things had been said to this point, Uchiha Kage knew that there was no way to end this peacefully, so he could only agree.

"Will I lose?"

Terumi Mei, who possessed two Kekkei Genkai, didn't think she would lose to a Genin at all.

Even if the other party was a member of the Uchiha clan.

"You should think about how to save your little life in my hands, Little Kid."

But after thinking about it, Terumi Mei still "generously" walked up to Uchiha Kage.

"But if there is really a one in ten thousand chance that I lose to you, then I'll give you this as a return gift for the clothes you sent me last time."

Terumi Mei licked her lips and whispered softly in the other party's ear.

"What?"

Uchiha Kage looked at Terumi Mei with confusion, who clearly had a shy blush on her face, but was still trying to seduce him.

"My *worn* lingerie... since you seemed so interested in what's inside that store."

Terumi Mei gently fiddled with the neckline of the dress, which already exposed a large area of ​​snow-white skin, with her fingers painted with blue nail polish, allowing Uchiha Kage to just see a glimpse of the pink of that lingerie.

----

This was a quiet Kirigakure cell.

Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, who had lost his Mizukage authority and was confined here by the Elders of the village, was thinking about the reason why Konoha would form an alliance with Kirigakure.

Although even if he considered it more, the Elders of Kirigakure probably wouldn't listen to him.

But…

The village was now at least starting to get back on track, and there was also that girl Terumi Mei. As long as she matured a little more, Kirigakure's Future was still very broad.

Thinking of this, while feeling depressed about his own decline, Yagura was also full of hope for the Future.

Until—

"Being a Mizukage, yet being imprisoned."

A familiar and strange figure suddenly appeared in the cell.

"Although I don't know what you're expecting, this is reality."

"It's you!?"

Looking at the Masked Man in front of him who was only showing a scarlet Sharingan eye, Yagura quickly recalled many bad memories.

It was him, he had been controlling him behind the scenes, this culprit!

"Come out, Three-Tails!"

Without saying much nonsense to Yagura, Obito directly released the Three-Tails Tailed Beasts seal on the other party's stomach.

"What are you going to do!?"

Quickly shouting for people, hoping to make some noise so that the Kirigakure Ninja outside would be on guard, Yagura also felt the boiling Chakra in his body with a look of shock.

This guy had already left a backhand on his body when he was controlling him!

Not good, the Three-Tails was about to break the seal!

Red and black Chakra drilled out of Yagura's body, from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose like black snakes, making him unable to make a sound anymore.

He could only watch the Masked Man in front of him smiling mockingly at him, and could only watch the Chakra in his body gradually expand and then be drawn out of his body, gradually turning into the appearance of the Three-Tails itself.

This kind of unpleasant feeling of being completely out of control quickly reminded him of everything when he was serving as Mizukage.

At that time, he was also controlled like this, equally powerless, and could only watch the Masked Man behind the scenes introduce a bunch of policies that were unfavorable to Kirigakure.

"Go, Three-Tails, let Kirigakure truly feel what Pain is!"

I will never let go of the Shinobi Village that hurt Rin!

Obito stripped the Tailed Beasts from Yagura Jinchuriki, and used Sharingan to control Three-Tails to rush out of the cell, before slowly disappearing in place.

And Konoha…

With this Three-Tails Disturbance, let's see how Kirigakure will form an alliance with Konoha!
