Naruto: Starting from the pursuit of Tsunade

"stop."

The Sand Ninja captain made a gesture and stopped moving forward.

There were several Akatsuki ninjas blocking his way, and the one leading them was the man who had reported to Yahiko.

"Akatsuki Village, Jonin Yamaguchi Kappei."

"You have come all the way from the Kingdom of Wind. What brings you here?"

Katsuhira first gave his name to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Suna Ninja Village, Jonin Yoshinohara."

"I came here to congratulate you on the order of the Third Kazekage."

"Congratulations on the establishment of Akatsuki Village."

Yoshino's polite words came out naturally without any trace of affectation.

Even if we were to discuss an alliance, we couldn't talk to a jonin.

"The Third Kazekage is too polite."

"You are guests from afar, and we in Xiaonin Village will definitely treat you well."

"We still have some distance to go. Let us lead the way."

Katsuhira followed Yahiko's instructions and his attitude was indeed good.

"Thank you."

After the two sides exchanged polite words, the two teams merged into one and continued towards Akatsuki Village.

By the time we arrived at Akatsuki Village, it was already dark.

"The ninja village is newly built, please forgive us if we are not welcoming enough."

Katsuhira had a smiling face and busy figures could be seen everywhere in the ninja village.

"You are being harsh. We are sorry for disturbing you."

"I wonder if Master Ying is available to see us now?"

Yoshino was eager to meet Yahiko immediately, discuss the alliance, and then retreat.

"Don't worry, go eat first."

"You must be hungry after running around for so long."

Katsuhira didn't wait for Yoshino's response and led the way to a barbecue restaurant.

"team leader."

The three Chuunin called out when they saw Yoshino didn't move.

"Hey~ follow me."

Yoshino himself couldn't find Yahiko, so he could only take the lead and follow Kappei's footsteps.

Besides, he was really a little hungry.

A brand new barbecue restaurant that mainly serves game.

At this stage, the Rain Country cannot supply large quantities of farmed meat.

"The conditions are not good, I can only take you to eat something casually."

Kappei handed the menu to Yoshino, being very polite.

"Thank you."

Yoshino didn't bother to look at it carefully. He ordered some fairly common game dishes, and then they found an empty table and sat down.

Unable to resist Kappei's enthusiasm, Yoshino and the other three drank some wine reluctantly.

Because the two sides were not in a hostile relationship, they were already very familiar with each other when they went out.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface. Only God knows what's going on in their mind.

"Katsuhira-kun, please arrange it."

"I want to meet Master Xiaoying as soon as possible. After all, I have official business to attend to."

Yoshino and Katsuhira hooked their arms around each other's shoulders, their cheeks flushed.

"It's getting late now, and I see you're tired."

"Why don't you take a bath first, rest up and see you tomorrow."

Katsudaira said he was discussing something with Yoshino, but he was actually pulling him towards the hot spring shop.

"How can I let you spend money again?"

"Please inform me first."

Yoshino stumbled forward, his resistance not so obvious.

"You reek of alcohol. It's inappropriate. It's inappropriate."

"I think we'll see each other tomorrow."

Katsudaira took advantage of the victory and continued to increase his strength, pushing Yoshino forward.

"this is not good."

“That’s not good.”

"It's too expensive."

.....

"It's so comfortable."

In the hot spring pool, Yoshino stretched his arms over the edge of the pool, looking very comfortable.

"Yoshino-kun, don't worry."

"I will make sure you see our Master Xiaoying tomorrow."

Katsuhira was afraid that Yoshino might be worried, so he patted his chest.

"Then I'll leave it to Katsuhira-kun."

Yoshino no longer had the heart to see Yahiko. The fatigue from the long journey was completely relieved at this moment.

After taking a bath, Kappei personally escorted Yoshino and the other three to the guest room before leaving.

The next day, I took them to have breakfast before going to Xiaoying's office.

dong dong dong~

"Please come in."

Yahiko's voice came from inside the house.

"Lord Yahiko, this is the envoy from the Sand Village."

"Come to congratulate the establishment of our Akatsuki Village."

Katsuhira took the lead into the house and bowed to Yahiko.

"Welcome, welcome. Fengying is so polite."

"Guys, please take a seat."

Yahiko stood up with a warm smile and motioned for Yoshino and the others to sit down.

"Sand Village, Yoshinohara and his subordinates are here to see Master Akakage."

Yoshino glanced at Yahiko quickly and then lowered his head again.

There was a hint of shock in his eyes. He didn't expect that the shadow of Akatsuki Village was so young.

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

At Yahiko's invitation again, Yoshino and his four companions sat down opposite Nagato and his companions.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Katsuhei and Yoshino nodded slightly and left first.

ba da~

As the door closed, Yoshino's heart was in his throat.

He always felt something was weird. Looking at the smiles of Yahiko and the others, he had the illusion of being a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Yoshino-kun, these people are the elders of my Akatsuki Village."

Yahiko did not introduce them one by one, but simply mentioned them and continued talking to himself.

"I am a straightforward person, please forgive me if I am offended in any way."

"I'm afraid you guys are here for more than just congratulations, right?"

After Yahiko sat down, he supported his chin with one hand and stared straight at Yoshinohara.

"Master Xiaoying has a keen eye."

"Coming here to congratulate you is only one of the reasons. As for the second one, I will explain it later."

"It is our Lord Kazekage who wants to form an alliance with your Akatsuki Village."

"We are all neighbors, and we can discuss anything together in the future."

"After all, the current ninja world is just looking at peace."

"What do you think of this idea?"

Yoshino Miyahiko spoke directly to the point without hiding anything.

"Let's discuss it together" is of course a nice way of saying it, but in fact, they just want the Akatsuki Village to become their younger brother.

You are just a small ninja village in the Rain Country, and we are giving you face by joining our alliance.

However, these innermost thoughts were not shown on his face.

"Lord Yahiko, I think this is a good idea."

Nono was the first to respond, looking as if he couldn't wait to agree.

Yoshino was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that the elders of Akatsuki Village would agree with him as soon as he opened his mouth.

It looks like this mission is a sure thing.

"It's good, it's good."

"But our Akatsuki Village is in ruins now."

"Even if there are any changes in the ninja world, we want to help the Sand Village but we are powerless."

Yahiko frowned, looking undecided.

"Master Xiaoying, you don't have to worry about this."

"Since we are forming an alliance, we will naturally help Akatsuki Village in its current predicament."

Yoshino had obtained some authority before coming, and Luo Sha knew what it meant to do nothing without benefits.

It is impossible to make the Akatsuki Village obedient without spending any blood.

"Thank you so much."

Yahiko was overjoyed. This Yoshino didn't seem to be very smart and should be easy to fool.

"You're too polite. Helping each other is the most basic trust between allies."

Yoshino smiled as if his mission was accomplished.

"I think that we should give up."

"We need a lot of money."

"I don't think it's appropriate to make the Sand Village bleed for no reason and take advantage of them."

As soon as Nagato said this, Yoshino's expression changed immediately.

What kind of person is this? He doesn’t even want free money?
