The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Thank you, Lord Hokage!" Chiyo looked at Hakugetsu gratefully.

"Now you are also members of Konoha. No need for formalities!" Bai Yue waved his hand and said, "I'll take Gaara back to Konoha to recuperate first. We'll go back to pay our respects to Rasa after he's fully recovered."

"Yes!" Maki responded excitedly. The feeling of having something lost and then found was wonderful. He thought Gaara, who had been captured for several days, was surely dead, but he never expected that the Hokage would intervene and bring him back alive!

"Then let's disperse." With that, Bai Yue continued to lead the group towards Konoha.

"Although Sunagakure is gone, thankfully the Hokage truly accepted us," Chiyo said wistfully, watching Hakugetsu's departing figure.

Whether it was Jiraiya's covert protection or the Hokage's personal intervention, even the assignment of missions, which specifically allocated many suitable tasks to the branch ninjas, all of this demonstrates that Konoha did not treat them as outsiders, but truly accepted them.

Contrary to what some ninjas in the village claimed, Konoha recruited them to use them as cannon fodder.

"When you get back, find those guys who spread bad rumors. If necessary, arrest them or even kill them!" Chiyo said to Maki in a cold tone.

"Yes!" Maki understood instantly, and at the same time looked around at the ninjas, trying to memorize them all.

Since they were willing to risk their lives to help rescue Gaara, they should naturally be trained as his loyal followers. Even if some of them are not worth training, they should still be treated as trusted confidants!

"Let's go back as soon as possible."

"Yes! Chiyo-sama!"

As Chiyo finished speaking, Maki immediately took out a signal flare and fired it into the sky, so that the ninjas who had scattered to search for Gaara would come back and regroup.

After receiving Maki's plea for help, they gathered a bunch of Chunin to rescue Gaara, but they themselves didn't believe that Konoha would really come to Gaara's rescue. In the end, the Hokage himself showed up!

This action made Chiyo and the Chunin realize that the other party considered them, the Sand Ninja, as one of their own.

Bai Yue had no idea that Chiyo and the others had eliminated their deep-seated resentment and were now making every effort to advance towards Konoha.

Upon seeing the outline of Konoha, Baiyue instantly teleported into the Hokage Building.

"!" The Hokage is very strong, but he always appears in a flash, which is really a bit scary.

"Lord Hokage!" Shikaku immediately stood up and said.

You old rascal, are you trying to slack off? You're always so eager to do things.

"Someone, take Gaara to the hospital to rest," Bai Yue said directly.

"Yes!" Several ANBU members immediately appeared, took Gaara off Kankuro's back, and helped Kankuro along as they headed to Konoha Hospital.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." After saying a reluctant goodbye, Temari followed the Anbu to Konoha Hospital.

"As expected of the Hokage!" Shikaku exclaimed, watching the group's departing figures.

"Don't flatter me." Waving her hand, Bai Yue said helplessly, "Honestly, I'm exhausted these past two days."

"Hokage-sama, what's Jiraiya-sama like?" With a bunch of people missing, Shikaku finally got his attention from Jiraiya, whose face was flushed red.

"Oh, this guy wanted to investigate the Akatsuki, so I sealed him away for now," Bai Yue said casually, glancing at Jiraiya.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya immediately bared his teeth and brandished his claws.

Alright, the Immobilization Seal! Here we go!

Another sealing technique was added, and Jiraiya immediately collapsed. Byakuya quickly placed him on a chair.

He's a veteran of Konoha, after all; he should at least have some dignity. They can't just let Jiraiya collapse to the ground like that.

"This... Lord Hokage, I think it's very necessary to investigate that dangerous organization," Nara Shikaku said seriously. "They actually dared to attempt to capture the Tailed Beasts; there must be some grand conspiracy involved."

"First of all, Jiraiya couldn't defeat the Akatsuki. Secondly, I have some information about the Akatsuki." Bai Yue directly opened a barrier: "Uchiha Itachi was an undercover agent planted in the Akatsuki by the Third Hokage. Although he is now dead for some reason, he did pass on some information."

“…………”

A single 6, no wonder it's a third-generation character, it's absolutely unbeatable when it comes to these kinds of things!

Danzo? He's not even worthy to carry the Third Hokage's shoes!

"Hokage-sama, should we contact the other villages...?" Shikaku stopped mid-sentence.

The Akatsuki organization is very difficult to deal with; its members are all very powerful, and they could potentially cause significant losses to the other villages.

From Konoha's perspective, the existence of Akatsuki is a double-edged sword. They are needed to weaken the other villages, but there is also some concern that if left unchecked, they will grow to a point where even Konoha finds them troublesome.

"There's no need for that. The One-Tailed Beast has already been taken by the Akatsuki. As for Naruto, as long as we protect him, there won't be any problems." Bai Yue said calmly, "The Akatsuki, having already suffered a loss at Naruto's hands, will definitely not keep fighting us to the death. They will definitely go after the Jinchuriki from other ninja villages."

"But, if Akatsuki succeeds, then..." Shikaku said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm the strongest!" Bai Yue said confidently. No one here could split him into two and a half moons.

If he weren't lazy, he would have openly "defected" from Konoha's gates long ago, then easily collected all the tailed beasts and summoned Kaguya.

"This..." Shikaku looked troubled. He had confidence in Baiyue based on her current strength, but Shikaku felt that something was not right.

"Oh, right, arrange for a few old geezers to take care of Jiraiya."

"Old scallion? What does that mean?" Bai Yue's unexpected train of thought startled Lu Jiu, who didn't react at all.

"You know Chiyo, right? Find a few grandmothers of her rank to take care of Jiraiya," Baiyue said jokingly.

"!!!" Shikaku was completely stunned, staring at Shiro in disbelief. How mean!

You fucking beast! You fucking beast!

Unable to move or speak, Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, his entire being filled with despair, as he looked at Hakugetsu in horror.

"By the way, my dear Jiraiya-sama, I've already imprinted the Flying Thunder God mark on you. If you sneak out of the village again to investigate the Akatsuki, don't blame me for finding a bunch of old men to accompany you to hot springs every day in swimsuits!"

"…………" Shikaku also looked at Shiro with a look of horror.

There's no limit to how bad it can get!

Lord Baiyue is absolutely terrifying!

"What are you standing there for? Go make the arrangements." Bai Yue said with a cold smile, "It'll be a good opportunity for you to slack off."

"Oh no! We've been discovered!"
