Chapter 222: The Otsutsuki Clan [27]
Chapter 222: The Otsutsuki Clan [27]
"..."
Tsunade silently raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.
Shizune also bit her tongue, feeling a sting of pain.
"Lady Tsunade?!"
A Konoha ninja in the distance spotted Tsunade and, recognizing her, was slightly startled. He immediately bowed to her.
Tsunade calmed herself and asked, "What's going on here?"
The ninja was slightly taken aback, glancing at the Nine-Tails in the distance before realizing what was happening. He scratched his head and smiled, "Oh, the Nine-Tails combs its fur every morning, noon, and night."
"Also, children love to play hide-and-seek in the Nine-Tails' tails, but a fee must be paid monthly. This is the Hokage's rule. Oh, and there's a charge for taking pictures with it too, Lady Tsunade. You get one free photo opportunity."
Shizune: "..."
Tsunade: "..."
It felt like it had been too long since they had returned to Konoha. They seemed to have become disconnected from this world.
...
Konoha.
Inside the Hokage's office.
Feng Ye rolled his eyes at Tsunade, who was sitting across from him. "You want to borrow ten million ryo in a hurry... Teacher, you're shameless. Why don't you ask for a few billion instead?"
Tsunade sat on the sofa, sipping her tea. "You probably don't have a few billion either. You're the Hokage now, so I can't ask you to use Konoha's funds for me. But you must have a private stash of ten million, and I'll pay you back in a few months."
"Unfortunately, I don't have ten million either."
Feng Ye spread his hands. "Didn't you see when you came back that I'm so poor now that even the Nine-Tails is working hard to make money?"
Cough!
Tsunade was about to choke on her tea. She looked at Feng Ye strangely and asked, "What's going on with the Nine-Tails?"
Feng Ye took a sip of his tea. "It's nothing. It's just become a shut-in. I can't let it turn into a completely useless fox, so even if it's a shut-in, I have to find a way to make use of it."
"Useless? Me?"
The Nine-Tails' voice sounded in Feng Ye's mind. "Without me, could you remove all the barriers in Konoha and disband half of the patrol ninjas?"
Although it sounded like an argument, there was no force behind the words, giving the impression of laziness and a complete lack of desire to move.
Tsunade stared at Feng Ye for a long time, feeling like she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.
As for Shizune beside her, ever since she had entered the office and seen Feng Ye wearing the Fire Shadow's ceremonial robe, bathed in sunlight and sitting behind the desk, she had been staring at him, unable to look away.
After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade reached out her hand to Feng Ye and said, "Alright, five million. This time, I will definitely win it back doubled!"
Knock knock knock!
Just as Tsunade finished speaking, there was a knock on the side door next to the office.
The door opened from the inside, and Konan stood there expressionlessly, looking at Feng Ye. "We're out of paper."
"Rin, ask Kakashi to get another batch of paper for the explosive tags and sealing tags."
Feng Ye shouted to the outside of the office.
Tsunade looked at Konan curiously, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar. After staring at her for a few seconds, she asked, "Have I met you somewhere before?"
Konan looked at Tsunade and nodded. "Jiraiya-sama once stayed in the Rain Country and taught me ninjutsu..."
Tsunade looked enlightened. "So you're that little girl. You're not a ninja from the Rain Country, so why are you here?"
Feng Ye took a sip of his tea and said, "She single-handedly produces ninety-nine percent of Konoha's explosive tags and sealing tags, and even sells some to the smaller ninja villages that are affiliated with us."
Konan had a very calm and collected personality.
She quickly adapted to life in Konoha, especially after learning that the Land of Rain was doing better than ever. She seamlessly integrated herself into the community of Konoha ninjas. Her only concern was Nagato's well-being, but Konoha currently had no intelligence regarding his whereabouts.
"..."
Tsunade's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but interject, "A single person supplies the entire village? Feng Ye, you're overworking Jiraiya's disciple."
Feng Ye shrugged, "Overworking? It's easy for her. She only needs to work three to four hours a day. As for me, being the Hokage, I have to work at least twelve hours a day. Although I can use shadow clones as substitutes, there are still matters that require my physical presence."
Back in the Land of Rain, Konan was not only responsible for crafting explosive and sealing tags for her village, but she also handled various operations and personnel planning, among other things.
This was because Obito essentially neglected any administrative duties.
While Nagato wasn't particularly focused on management either, so most of the responsibilities fell on her shoulders. Now, in Konoha, she only needed to supply the explosive tags, which was a much lighter workload compared to her previous duties in the Land of Rain.
As Feng Ye spoke, he fixed his gaze on Tsunade, a thoughtful look on his face.
"..."
Tsunade froze for a few seconds, feeling increasingly uncomfortable under Feng Ye's intense stare. "What are you looking at?"
Feng Ye tilted his head and said, "I was thinking, Tsunade-sensei, why don't you stay in Konoha? It just so happens that I'm lacking someone to oversee daily affairs..."
"Stop right there."
Tsunade interrupted Feng Ye with a scowl, her words laced with exasperation.
This brat even wanted her to work for him!
Feng Ye chuckled, about to say something, when his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up. "Wait a moment, I need to attend to something."
Whoosh!!
In the next instant, Feng Ye's figure disappeared.
With a few quick flashes, he had reached the outskirts of Konoha, where the Nine-Tails, who had been lying down, was now standing, its chakra swirling as it stared at a particular direction within Konoha.
There.
A figure emanated a malicious chakra as they gazed in their direction.
One of the Nine-Tails' tails suddenly lashed out toward this figure, but they dodged with agility and quickly retreated into the distance.
"Hyuuga clan? No, it's not them..."
Feng Ye landed on the Nine-Tails' head and absorbed it into his body, narrowing his eyes as he watched the rapidly retreating figure.
The figure possessed the Byakugan, but their attire was vastly different from that of the Hyuuga clan, and the nature of their chakra was also distinct.
They had the Byakugan.
Yet they were not of the Hyuuga clan.
That could only mean one thing—they were direct descendants of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's younger twin brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, left on the moon—bearers of the mighty Otsutsuki clan lineage!
