Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

I also hope your people won't be running around tonight, to avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Hearing Kagura's slightly warning words, he shrugged dismissively and said:

"That's great. With Lady Kagura helping to guard us, I'm sure we can finally get a good night's sleep."

"Don't worry, I can assure you, none of our men will step out of here tonight."

After saying that, he looked up and drank the beverage in his hand in one gulp, then apologized to Kagura and left.

Kagura narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched his departing figure.

This guy...

What exactly is their other purpose?

Chapter 116 So, their target was...

Time soon came to the next day.

To Kagura's dismay, nothing actually happened that night.

In order to monitor these people, Kagura didn't even stay in the hotel, but went directly to the high-rise building opposite the hotel to monitor the entire building.

Although the Sharingan doesn't have that kind of abnormal penetrating effect compared to the Byakugan.

However, Kagura could still clearly see everything happening in the hotel in the dark.

If Washino and his group did anything strange, it would not escape his notice.

However, Kagura waited in the cold wind all night, but these envoys from Kumogakure did not make any move.

He didn't realize it was dawn until the distant sunlight shone on Kagura.

this......

Could it be that Jiraiya and the old man's information was wrong?

Was this leader of the hawkish faction in Kumogakure really just sent to Konoha to sign a contract?

Numbed by the cold wind, Kagura's mind was filled with only one sentence:

Could it be that I've been tricked?

When Kagura, looking exhausted, saw Washino and the others looking radiant after a good night's rest, this thought grew even stronger.

However, no matter what, it's always a good thing that nothing happens.

Kagura acted as if nothing had happened, standing in the middle of the delegation and leading Washino and his group toward the Hokage Building.

Although it was still early morning, the area in front of the Hokage Building was already packed with people.

The group followed a special passage, avoiding the crowds, and entered the Hokage Building.

When they arrived at the top platform of the Hokage Building, they saw a huge crowd of people below.

As the most important and iconic building in Konoha Village, the Hokage Building was specifically chosen to be located in the center of Konoha from the very beginning of its construction.

Looking down from the high platform, you can see almost half of Konoha Village.

When Kagura and the others escorted Washino and the others to the scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, was already waiting there.

Upon seeing the Hokage, Washino's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over and took his hand.

"Lord Hokage, it is finally an honor to meet you."

"Hehe, you're too kind. It must have been hard for you to travel such a long distance."

Upon meeting, the two exchanged pleasantries as if they were old friends.

Fortunately, this world is still relatively pragmatic and doesn't have the bureaucratic system that Kagura experienced on Earth in her previous life.

After exchanging a few words, they got down to business.

Two representatives, one from Konoha and the other from Kumogakure, arrived at a long table that had been prepared in advance.

Two long scrolls with pre-written contents were placed on top; these were the peace agreements they were to sign.

Amid cheers from thousands of villagers below, the two solemnly signed their names on the agreement.

Kagura, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Surprisingly, the ninjas from Kumogakure did not do anything foolish this time, and the joint agreement was completed as scheduled.

In Kagura's view, this is the best possible outcome at present.

Regardless of what Madara Uchiha does next, it is foreseeable that there will be a decisive battle between him and Madara.

Before this, it's always better for Konoha to have one more friend than one more enemy.

After the signing ceremony, Washino Hajime and Hiruzen Sarutobi shook hands again, marking the end of the ceremony.

After stepping down from the platform, Washino Hajime approached Kagura with a smile.

He politely addressed Kagura:

"Thank you very much for your protection, but we need to leave Konoha as soon as possible."

After all, I need to get the scroll back to the village as soon as possible.

Lady Kagura, I hope you can visit Kumogakure next time. I will personally entertain you then.

Looking at Washino Hajime speaking so sincerely, Kagura's lips twitched slightly, but she still nodded slightly.

After speaking with Kagura, Washino Hajime quickly led the rest of the Cloud Village away from there.

This agreement is in duplicate, with one copy each for Konoha and Kumogakure after it is signed.

As Washino Hajime said, he still needed to take this agreement back to their Raikage.

Therefore, it was a perfectly normal thing for them to leave Konoha at this time.

As Washino and the others left, Kagura frowned as she looked at one of their figures.

Among Washino's group, besides Washino himself, the Jonin was the one Kagura was most concerned about.

Unlike the others, that person wrapped himself entirely in a black robe.

He was like a shadow, completely shrouded in a black robe, and his appearance was never even revealed.

From yesterday to today, whether during his visit to Konoha or at the banquet, this man never removed his black hood.

Such a special person would naturally attract Kagura's attention.

However, such ninjas are not a minority in the ninja world.

Some people have unique ninjutsu techniques that make it inconvenient for them to reveal their bodies or appearances.

For example, the "Oil Woman" clan, whose entire bodies are covered in insects.

Therefore, although the people of Konoha had some questions about this, since the other party did not do anything strange, they decided not to ask too many questions.

However, when that person passed by Kagura, Kagura sensed something was wrong.

like...

Does this person look a bit more bloated than yesterday?

Before he could think it through, the person walked past him and slowly disappeared into the distance with Washino.

As part of the reception team, it was necessary to escort Washino and the others to the entrance of Konoha Village out of courtesy.

However, this is outside Kagura's job scope.

Having not slept a wink all night, he yawned as he left the mission and headed home.

Kagura had absolutely no interest in trivial matters like seeing someone off.

With nothing else to do, Kagura had breakfast at a restaurant before leisurely heading home.

Halfway there, he saw Minato, with a furrowed brow, slowly walking towards him.

?

He looked at Minato with a puzzled expression and asked:

"You're back so soon?"

Minato, who had been lost in thought, only noticed Kagura's presence when he heard her words. He looked up in confusion, paused for a second, and then replied:

"Oh, Kagura-sensei."

Yes, those people from Kumogakure have already left.

They seemed to be in a real hurry to get back to the village, and sent us home without asking us to give them any further help.

"Oh?

Are they in such a hurry?

Why do you look so worried?

"Did the old man give you a new job again?"

The so-called old man naturally refers to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, after spending so many years with Kagura, Minato was already used to his teacher addressing the Hokage as "Lord Hokage."

He shook his head and replied:

"No, it's not a work-related issue."

I'm just looking for someone.

I don't know why, but I've noticed that Hiashi has disappeared from today onwards.

I was planning to talk to him about something, but I couldn't find him anywhere.

I thought he had gone home, but I went to look for him just now and couldn't find him.

But that shouldn't be the case. Given his personality, he shouldn't have run off without a word.

......"

Hearing Minato's muttering, Kagura's mind went blank.

Cloud Hidden Village, Rizu, Byakugan.
