Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Afterwards, on the way to Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water, all members of the Konoha Exchange Group fell into an infinitely spreading silence.

It's not that they didn't know that Kirigakure had ulterior motives from the beginning, and it's not that they didn't strengthen their defenses through various bonds and concerns before setting off, but when Mitarai Anko, the former Konoha traitor, appeared in front of them openly and openly, Even when they were exposed to this fact without any care, they still felt waves of depression and uneasiness from the bottom of their hearts.

And when this silent team rode a large boat accelerated by several water escape and wind escape ninjas across the mountains and seas, arrived at the big island where Kirigakure's village was located, and saw the legendary Kirigakure's village——

This uneasiness and depression unexpectedly dissipated a lot.

In their fantasies, the social atmosphere of Kirigakure Village was not only filled with the smell of blood in the air, but at least had a gloomy and depressing cold tone base. But what appeared in front of them at this moment was a person. It was noisy, bustling and bustling, and it looked like a more peaceful, open and even prosperous town than the Konoha Village before it was half destroyed.

This extremely strong contrast and gap made the Konoha ninjas in the communication team wonder if they had lost their way while taking a boat through the heavy fog on the sea, and accidentally arrived at some unknown paradise.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you just standing there? Don't you feel tired and hungry after sitting on the boat for so long?"

Mitarashi Anko's voice came from the stunned Konoha ninjas. Everyone turned to look and saw her greeting the ninjas and civilians passing by on the street with familiarity, and said casually:

"I took a look. It's almost a little before dinner. How about I take you to have dinner first, and then send you to the study hotel that I booked for you in advance? If you are lucky, maybe We can also meet the Yondaime and his secretary while having dinner..."

"Are you so relieved...of us, Anko?"

Looking at Mitarashi Anko, whose personality was much more cheerful than before, Hatake Kakashi gently pinched his thigh, and after making sure that he was not dreaming, he asked in a low voice:

"In any case, we are also ninjas of Konoha, outsiders of Kirigakure Village..."

"If you think your ability to hide your aura and whereabouts is better than that of the Fourth Generation, why don't you try it?"

Mitarashi Anko shrugged indifferently, took out some change from her pocket and threw it into the street vendor's storage box. She also took a bunch of candied haws from the vendor's stall. After biting one, she felt happy. He squinted his eyes and said vaguely:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The reason why Kirigakure Village is called Kirigakure Village is because it has a thick or light layer of fog that never dissipates all year round. Moreover, the Fourth Generation is not only the perfect master of Ryuji Cave. The Immortal, who also possesses the Byakugan Eye Technique, is running around and sneaking in under his nose. Apart from seeking his own death, I can't think of any other words to describe the stupidity of this behavior..."

"Byakugan?" Upon hearing this word, the two ninjas from the Hyuga branch reacted in unison, "Did Mizukage-sama take away Makoto's eyes?"

"Cheng? Oh, you mean Hinata Cheng..."

Hearing the two men mentioning their former cellmates, Mitarashi Anko gloated without empathy:

"That's not true. Although he has been a little tired in recent years, he still rarely suffers physical injuries... In the eyes of many Kirigakure ninjas, his health is a very important thing."

"Didn't take away Makoto's eyes!? So what exactly are his Byakugan -"

The special jounin of the Hyuga branch was waiting to ask questions, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two young Kirigakure women holding babies, talking and laughing, walking by not far from the exchange team, and they The eyes of the baby he was holding were the same pure white as his own.

The special jounin of the Hyuga family was stunned, and the other Konoha ninjas in the team who noticed this were also stunned.

"As you can see, because Hinata Makoto's talent is insufficient and his knowledge is quite limited, the Fourth Generation did not give him the same preferential treatment as Uchiha Shisui," Mitarashi Anko bit into another candied haws, squinting. He smiled and said, "As a descendant of the Hyuga clan, it is your undoubted obligation to pass on your bloodline well, isn't it?"

"You...what do you think of the blood inheritance boundary that our Hyuga clan regards as a treasure!?"

The special Jounin from the Hyuga Branch clenched his teeth and suppressed his anger and growled at Mitarashi Anko. After Mitarashi Anko heard what the other party said, he just casually took the candied haws sticks that he had eaten to the street. He threw it into the trash can and then said calmly:

"The privilege of being superior to others, but that's all... In the past, a pair of wandering white eyes might have been worthy of fierce competition among various countries and ninja villages, but that kind of thing only existed in the past."

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry... In the next three months, you will see more things that break your common sense and cognition. The openness and popularization of Byakugan in Kirigakure are nothing but It’s just one of the less important things. If you can’t endure this kind of thing, then I have to doubt the vision of the person who chose you to be Kirigakure’s envoy.”

Mitarai Anko's speech was slightly aggressive. The special jounin of the Hyuga family wanted to continue arguing with the other party, but was pushed back by another jounin of the Nara clan who was traveling with him. She shook her head vigorously at him.

"What she said makes sense. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the information Kirigakure wants us to see. It would not be a good thing for you Hyuga clan to make a fuss regardless of it at this time... Moreover, Even if you make a scene, it won't change anything, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the special jounin of the branch family who was still trying to break free from control suddenly became quiet.

yes.

This is not Konoha, but Kirigakure.

Even the combined strength of the entire Hyuga clan was unable to defeat Kirigakure, and even the ninja who mobilized the entire Konoha clan had no confidence that they could defeat Kirigakure.

Not to mention that he is just a special Jonin of the Hyuga branch, even if the head of the Hyuga clan comes forward in person, it is impossible for the Mizukage-sama, who is from the Kaguya clan, to change the decision he has made.

In this case, why should I argue and quarrel with those in Kirigakure who will soon become another clan for the sake of the clan?

Seeing that the special jounin of the branch became quiet again, the jounin of the Nara family breathed a sigh of relief and released the shadow binding technique that restrained the other party. Seeing this, Mitarashi Anko did not continue to pursue this issue. Instead, he put on an expression as if nothing had happened and said to the people in the communication team:

"Okay, okay, since everyone has no objections to my proposal just now, let's have dinner first and then take you to the study hotel to stay... Do you have any taboos? Or something you particularly want to eat? You can bring it up, I will collect everyone’s needs and concerns, and then decide which restaurant to take you to for dinner.”

"Just go to the house where you are most likely to meet Kaguya Rei. I know he must be busy as a Mizukage, but as Konoha's communication team, he should take some time to come. Meet us."

When the people in Konoha's communication team looked at each other, Jiraiya, who had been watching for a long time, took the initiative to speak and made his request to Mitarashi Anko.

"Is it the easiest restaurant to meet Yondaime-sama? Then I know where to go... Everyone, follow up. If you fall behind, I don't know when I will find you back."

Mitarashi Anko shrugged, and set off towards the destination with a clear goal, leading these dozens of guys wearing Konoha forehead protectors and dressed a little incompatible with those around them.

I'm still coughing and sneezing. This is the second day. Doesn't it make sense?
