"It tastes really good, it's a pity there's no wine."
Tsunade picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, a look of enjoyment on her face.
How's work been lately?
Kitazawa picked up his chopsticks and asked.
"What can you do?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk about work when I'm in a good mood."
"The midterm exams for the gifted class are coming up soon."
Kitazawa smiled and asked, "I have a mission for you. Would you like to come along?"
"What mission?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, looked at him, and said, "If it were a normal mission, Shizune wouldn't agree to me leaving the village."
"Senior Sister Jingyin has no reason to stop you from this mission."
Kitazawa said confidently.
"Oh?"
Tsunade immediately became interested.
She is the Hokage, and under normal circumstances, she doesn't leave the village.
Unless it's something extremely important, like war.
However, the recent war in the ninja world has only involved Amegakure and Sunagakure, and it has been a small-scale skirmish.
Missions related to the daimyo of the Land of Fire are also acceptable.
The last time she went out, she went to the metropolis of the Land of Fire with Kitazawa.
However, the Land of Fire and Konoha Village are currently very peaceful, so there is no need for her to meet the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Foam."
Kitazawa reminded him.
"What foam?"
Tsunade didn't react for a moment.
"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Foam."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "The Anbu discovered his whereabouts."
Tsunade involuntarily stopped what she was doing.
She frowned subconsciously and began to think.
If Konoha and Kirigakure were at war, she would definitely send Kitazawa to capture Bubbles without hesitation.
But unfortunately it isn't.
Not only are they not, they are allies.
“Under normal circumstances, we should notify Kirigakure.”
Kitazawa said casually.
What are your thoughts?
Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately guessed that Kitazawa had other plans.
"Although Kirigakure is our ally, we can't let them get away with this."
Kitazawa said calmly, "Make a deal with the bubbles and Kirigakure."
You mean capture him alive?
Tsunade said thoughtfully, "That's certainly possible."
"Since Tsunade-sensei has agreed, let's set off tomorrow."
Kitazawa was not surprised to hear this.
As the Hokage, Tsunade would naturally choose the approach that would be most beneficial to Konoha.
Allies are ultimately just contracts on paper; there are no true allies among the five villages.
"You really are suited to be Hokage."
Tsunade smiled slightly, quite satisfied.
"I'll take this as a compliment, not an accusation of shamelessness."
Kitazawa joked.
"Of course I'm praising you."
Tsunade smiled and said, "Hotaru is the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, so we'll have to sell him for a good price."
"You arrange the specifics of the transaction."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "But there is one document we absolutely need."
"What information?"
Tsunade asked curiously.
Do you know why bubbles sometimes defect?
Kitazawa didn't keep her in suspense and immediately told her the whole story.
"Is there really such a way?"
Tsunade couldn't help but show a surprised expression after hearing this.
"According to the Anbu's investigation, it does exist, but it's unclear whether this method can truly prevent a Jinchuriki from dying."
Kitazawa stated the truth.
"Regardless of the outcome, this method is necessary."
Tsunade suddenly sighed and said, "If I had known about this method earlier, perhaps Kushina wouldn't have died."
Kushina Uzumaki died because the Nine-Tails was extracted from her body.
"What's done is done, but we can think about the future."
Kitazawa looked at her and said, "If this method really works, the jinchūriki of Konoha will have an extra layer of protection in the future."
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded and said.
"After I finish eating, I'll go find Senior Sister Jingyin."
Kitazawa chuckled and said, "After all, we're dealing with the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Urabozu, so it's normal for it to take a few more days."
Tsunade's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
She immediately understood Kitazawa's idea and gave him an approving look.
"This time I'm definitely going to spend several days at the casino!"
Tsunade clenched her fist and said with conviction.
"The casinos outside aren't as fun as the Konoha Casino."
Kitazawa said with a normal expression.
"That's easy."
Tsunade said nonchalantly, "We can just sneak back to Konoha when the time comes."
"That sounds interesting."
Kitazawa couldn't help but laugh.
What's interesting about it?
Tsunade glanced at him, but didn't react immediately.
"Isn't it interesting for the Hokage to sneak back into Konoha?"
Kitazawa countered with a question.
"..."
Tsunade was speechless.
After Kitazawa said that, she also sensed something subtle.
If you weren't Hokage, you could return to Konoha openly and honestly. But if you became Hokage, you still have to sneak back into Konoha. What a waste of being Hokage!
No, the main issue is still the soundproofing.
Tsunade shook her head.
I didn't realize it before, but ever since she became the Hokage's secretary, she has become very serious and responsible.
"I'm going to find Senior Sister Jingyin."
After finishing lunch, Kitazawa got up and went to the Hokage's Secretariat.
He pushed open the door and saw Jingyin organizing documents.
Her hands moved with lightning speed, quickly categorizing the documents.
"Kitazawa?"
Shizune looked up, a look of surprise on her face.
"Senior Sister Jingyin."
Kitazawa got straight to the point, saying, "I'm here to ask for leave on behalf of Tsunade-sensei."
"Why is it always you who asks for leave?"
Shizune twitched the corner of her mouth and asked.
"Coincidence, it's all just a coincidence."
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "The Anbu have discovered the location of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Bubbles, in Kirigakure."
"You and Lady Tsunade are planning to go and bring him back?"
Jingyin's gaze sharpened, and she asked in a serious tone.
If it's just to notify Kirigakure, there's no need to ask her for leave.
Uta, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, so theoretically, Konoha could indeed capture him.
"Ah."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
"Well."
After a moment's thought, Jingyin said, "Be careful, and come back as soon as possible."
"rest assured."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly, "A single Six-Tails is no match for me and Tsunade-sensei."
"That's true."
Upon hearing this, Jingyin felt somewhat relieved.
After all, Kitazawa and Tsunade had defeated the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura Karatachi.
But now their strength is different; they have reached a new level.
“Senior Sister Shizune, you can draft the terms of the trade with Kirigakure first.”
Kitazawa reminded him, "Once Tsunade-sensei and I return, we'll send someone to inform Kirigakure."
"can."
Jingyin perked up and said.
A single six-tailed beast would certainly bring considerable benefits to Konoha Village.
