Chapter 260: 260
As night fell, there was a lively scene in Kumogakure.
Today, a distinguished guest came to Kumogakure from the sky. Although she had some misunderstandings with the people in the village at first, and there was a little friction, fortunately, the two sides stopped in time and did not intensify the conflict.
This distinguished guest is the now recognized most powerful ninja in the ninja world, the sixth Mizukage Tsunade, the Goddess of ninjas.
To the surprise of everyone in Kumogakure, Tsunade seemed to have known the fifth Raikage before. The two chatted happily in the office, and Tsunade agreed to stay for dinner.
As Mizukage, Tsunade's move undoubtedly sent a signal to the outside world - Kirigakure seems to intend to reach some kind of friendly relationship with Kumogakure.
Raikage Building, banquet room.
There were four people at the dining table. They were Kisame in the main seat, his two secretaries to his left and right—Samui and Mabuyi, and Tsunade opposite him.
"Don't be polite to me, just eat and drink freely."
Kisame waved his hand and let people bring roast beef, tender chicken and shochu all up, filling the table, exuding a tempting food aroma.
"Who is polite to you, hum."
Tsunade snorted lightly, she was just hungry. Seeing the delicious food on the table, her eyes lit up. She picked up a roast beef shank and ate it up.
"Well, it's delicious."
While she was eating, she didn't forget to comment, she picked up the soju and took two swigs down her throat.
"…"
Seeing Tsunade eating so boldly, Samui and Mabuyi looked at each other. They never imagined that Tsunade, who seemed beautiful, noble, and dignified, actually had such a side.
Kisame was not surprised at all, he smiled slightly and instructed his two secretaries: "Don't be surprised, just treat it as a meal at home, don't be so restrained."
"Yes, Kami-sama." The two of them responded obediently and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner. Of course, their eating is much more ladylike than Tsunade.
After three rounds of wine.
Perhaps Kumogakure's specialty shochu was so good that Tsunade drank several bottles in one go, and her face flushed, and she had entered a state of drunkenness unconsciously.
She was not satisfied with drinking alone, she even held up her wine glass and shouted at Samui and Mabui, "You two, drink with me!"
Under her urging, the two young girls drank a few cups in succession, and soon their faces turned red and they were overwhelmed by alcohol.
"Tsunade-sama, we really can't drink anymore..." they whispered, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Don't bully my secretaries, let me accompany you."
Kisame opened a bottle of shochu and shook the bottle towards Tsunade. He usually doesn't drink, but seeing Tsunade in such high spirits today, he reluctantly accompanies her once.
Tsunade hearing that, stared at Kisame with blurry eyes, suddenly got up, picked up the wine bottle and walked towards him, finally sat down beside him and placed the wine bottle on the table.
Without saying a word, Kisame took Tsunade's wine and drank it with his head up.
"Okay!" Tsunade's eyes flashed, and she let out a clear shout. She too snatched Kisame's wine bottle and drank it all.
The two of them had one cup after one cup, and one bottle after one bottle. They lost count of. In the end, the table was full of empty wine bottles.
Tsunade who has an sage body, became completely drunk.
"belch…"
She burped her wine, put one arm on Kisame's shoulder, and leaned on him staggeringly, so as to maintain her balance and prevent herself from falling to the bottom of the dining table.
"It's almost time, stop drinking."
Seeing this, Kisame took the wine glass from Tsunade's hand and sighed. This woman really drinks crazy, which is really eye-opening.
"Well, I prefer to drink..."
Tsunade muttered, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally tilted her head and fell asleep directly against Kisame.
Samui and Mabui were already stunned.
Tsunade obviously came to Kumogakure alone, now she is unprepared at the wine table, and she was very drunk, which was enough to show that her relationship with Kami-sama was very unusual.
Moreover, Kisame also showed another side of him in front of Tsunade, no longer mysterious, indifferent, and majestic as usual, but like an ordinary man with flesh and blood, joys and sorrows.
Samui and Mabui were surprised by this.
At this moment, Kisame stretched out his hand and picked up Tsunade, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and put her on his shoulders.
Then, he said to the two secretaries: "Drinking with this crazy woman today must not be a easy thing, thank you for your hard work. It's too late now, and you drank a lot of wine again. Stay in the guest room of the Raikage Building tonight to rest."
"Okay, Kami-sama."
The two nodded obediently and watched Kisame carry Tsunade out of the banquet room.
Kisame came to his room, threw Tsunade on the soft big bed, then helped her take off her high heels, covered her with a quilt, and went away.
It was a peaceful night.
Early the next morning, as the bright sunlight shone into the room from the window and sprinkled on Tsunade's face with disheveled hair, the woman opened her eyes in a daze and woke up from a hangover.
'My head hurts.'
'It seems that I really couldn't control it last night, and I accidentally drank too much.'
Tsunade rubbed her forehead and sat up from the bed, only to realize that she seemed to be in... Kisame's room?
She was shocked, and quickly checked her clothes, and found that there were a lot of them, and they were not messy, so she felt relieved.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Tsunade straightened her hair, sat beside the bed, and put on her heels.
"Tsunade-sama, I see that you are awake. Kami-sama told me to prepare breakfast for you, all of which are foods that help you sober up."
Samui came in from the door with a plate.
"Where's that guy?"
Tsunade frowned slightly and asked.
"Oh, Kami-sama slept in the office last night. He's is working now, and you can see him anytime after you've had breakfast."
Samui put down the plate and stood respectfully aside.
"…no need."
Tsunade shook her head and said.
Because, as her brain regained consciousness, the scenes at the wine table last night also appeared in her mind, causing Tsunade's expression to gradually freeze.
'So embarrassing.'
Not to mention that she was drunk, she even started a drunken madness, which frightened Samui and Mabui. The most embarrassing thing is that after she was drunk, she took the initiative to hook up with Kisame and had a lot of intimate contacts.
Kisame is obviously the man she hates the most in this world.
Could it be that it was Katsuyu's consciousness that subtly affected her, which made her relax her vigilance in front of Kisame?
Anyway, that guy must be on high ground.
Tsunade thought through gritted teeth, and at the same time felt extremely regretful about her drunken gaffe.
"Tsunade-sama, are you not satisfied with your breakfast? What do you want to eat, I will prepare it for you right away."
Seeing Tsunade's ugly face, Samui quickly asked cautiously.
Tsunade hearing that, stood up, and walked towards the door, while pretending to cough twice, and said to Samui:
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some urgent matters in the village that have not been dealt with, so I have to go back quickly. Tell Kis... Raikage, that I thank him for his hospitality."
After speaking, without waiting for Samui to respond, she pushed out the door and left in a hurry.
'Whoosh.'
In front of Raikage Building, Tsunade kicked the ground, and rose into the sky.
After she flew into the air, she looked back at the direction of Raikage's office, but found that Kisame was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at her with a half-smile, and beckoning to her.
"Damn bastard..." Tsunade scolded in a low voice, remembering the scenes from last night, her face blushed inexplicably, and then she ran away without looking back.
After watching Tsunade go away, Kisame returned to the desk and picked up a newly arrived letter.
This is the letter from Fifth Hokage Minato. In the letter, the Namikaze Minato expressed sincere apologies for the reckless behavior of their team sneaking into Kumogakure, and also expressed congratulations and respect to the newly appointed Raikage, and hoped to resolve the misunderstanding between Konoha and Kumogakure, to maintain peace between the two Ninja villages.
After reading the letter, the corners of Kisame's mouth twitched and he smiled slightly.
According to his original plan, after the letter from Minato Namikaze, he can send messengers to Konoha and take the opportunity to kidnap Hinata.
However, Tsunade's sudden visit last night made Kisame change his mind and decided to postpone his reply for two days.
He is waiting.
When the news of Tsunade's visit to Kumogakure is completely spread and fermented in Konoha, until Konoha and Namikaze Minato felt enormous pressure and were panicked, it will be the best time for Kisame to take action.
At this moment, Samui hurried into the office and reported to Kisame:
"Kami-sama, Tsunade-sama she..."
"I already know, let her go." Kisame interrupted what Samui was about to say, gesturing her not to be nervous, the "friendship" between him and Tsunade was rock solid and nothing would happen.
So, two more days passed quietly.
Konohagakure, Hokage Office.
"It's really unexpected that Tsunade actually went to Kumogakure, and was invited by the Raikage to stay in the Raikage Building for dinner and the night!"
Jiraya was shocked when he learnt the news, and his voice trembled slightly.
"This matter is really strange. It is said that the Raikage is a God with a life span of more than a thousand years, and he has also had an encounter with the Sage of Six Paths. After being silent for hundreds of years, he suddenly appeared in Kumogakure. Under such circumstances, how did he get acquainted with Tsunade? And according to information, the relationship between Tsunade and Raikage seems to be very unusual."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice, frowning deeply.
Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, then speculated: "Jiraiya-sensei, Hiruzen-sama, you may have forgotten that Tsunade is also Katsuyu now. They may be acquaintances..."
'This makes sense.'
When the two heard that, they couldn't help nodding their heads.
"By the way, Minato. It's been several days since you wrote the letter to Raikage, he still hasn't responded, right?"
Jiraiya remembered this serious matter and asked.
"No."
Namikaze Minato shook his head, his expression solemn.
Right now, almost everyone is speculating whether this intimate meeting between Tsunade and Raikage indicates that Kirigakure and Kumogakure will form an alliance or not?
If that happens, it will be like a bolt from the blue for Konoha, Amegakure, and Iwagakure.
Just when the three of them were anxious and making various guesses, Uchiha Shisui suddenly came to the office in a hurry.
"Shisui, what's wrong?"
Namikaze Minato asked. Shisui is not only his disciple, but also loyal to Konoha and the will of fire, so he naturally became Minato's spy inside the Uchiha clan.
Whenever there is any movement in the Uchiha clan, Minato is the first person to know about it.
"Reporting to Hokage-sama, the patriarch Fugaku has no patience to wait any longer. He has organized the elites in the clan to go to Kumogakure to rescue Uchiha Itachi."
Shisui knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, his tone full of self-blame.
It was he who failed to protect Itachi and made the latter a prisoner of Kumogakure. And now, the patriarch did not hesitate to disobey Hokage's order, but also wants to go to Kumogakure to rescue his son. The final consequences of this incident may be disastrous.
Sure enough, when Namikaze Minato heard that, his face changed.
No, the dangerous behavior of the Uchiha clan must be stopped.
Just when he was about to order Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen to take action against the Uchiha clan, there was a sudden knock on the door.
An anbu, holding a scroll in both hands, hurried into the office and reported to Minato: "Hokage-sama, this is a reply from Yunying Village."
'Oh?'
Minato was refreshed, and quickly took the scroll and opened it. After carefully reading the contents, his brows gradually stretched.
"Hokage-sama, what did you say in the letter?" Jiraiya asked curiously.
"The Raikage is indeed a great person, not only has he promised to release Uchiha Itachi, he also agreed to reach peace with Konoha. The letter said that the messenger of Kumogakure has already set off, and will arrive at Konoha in three days at the latest."
Minato said with a smile, telling everyone the good news.
Hearing that they breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll tell the Patriarch Fugaku the news immediately." Shisui came back to his senses, and after obtaining Minato's approval, he quickly ran out of the office.
The next thing to do is to be patient.
Three days later.
At dusk on this day, the envoy from Kumogakure arrived as scheduled.
A golden thundercloud flew from a distance and stopped in mid-air outside Konohagakure. This strange scene quickly caught the attention of Konoha Ninja at the entrance of the village.
'Whoosh whoosh.'
Two Konoha Jonin got the news and came them out of the village. They were Kakashi Hatake and Shisui Uchiha.
Under the nervous gaze of the two and a group of Konoha ninjas, the thundercloud with a diameter of several meters slowly landed on the ground, bringing a burly man with short hair wearing Kumogakure forehead guard and Kumogakure ninja uniform.
"Yo, so many people are waiting to pick me up, I really appreciate this."
The man strode in front of Kakashi and the others, nearly two meters tall, like a hill, giving everyone a strong sense of oppression.
"Excuse me, are you the messenger of the Raikage?" Kakashi asked aloud, frowning slightly.
"If not?"
The man laughed and asked back. As soon as the words fell, a dazzling golden thunderbolt erupted from his body, which instantly enveloped Kakashi and others, making them paralyzed and fall to the ground one after another.
