<><><><><><>

(T/N: I'm very sorry if you feel this chapter is a bit racist, I already did my best to adjust the content, you know how a Chinese author's mind works when making a novel.)

"I concede defeat; it's my loss. From now on, the Hidden Cloud Village is open to you! However, I don't know your name. Winning against me, I should remember your name."

The Third Raikage spoke earnestly to Sakumo. 

The Cloud Ninjas on the sidelines, although their expressions changed upon hearing the Third Raikage's words, did not say anything. 

After all, their leader had spoken, and even if it was a bit unconventional, it was acceptable. 

Besides, they all held a sense of awe for powerful individuals.

Hatake Sakumo glanced at the Third Raikage, adjusted his mask, and said, "Ogami Byakko."

After saying this, he walked towards Asahi without looking back, leaving the Cloud Village group to look at Asahi with even more suspicion.

"Ogami Byakko, huh?"

The Third Raikage mumbled to himself, reminded of Konoha's White Fang. Both were skilled with a blade. 

Although the Third Raikage had not fought against Konoha's White Fang, he believed that if the two ever crossed paths, it would be a spectacular encounter.

Unfortunately, the people from Konoha were like fools; according to the intelligence reports, White Fang was forced to death by them. 

Alas, the world lost a respectable opponent! Thinking of this, the Third Raikage shook his head with a hint of regret.

However, it was a good thing for the Hidden Cloud Village.

Meanwhile, Sakumo, standing behind Asahi, said only a sentence – "I'm fortunate not to dishonor myself" – and didn't say more. 

Asahi nodded in satisfaction. Leaving Sakumo behind earlier was indeed the right decision; it saved him a lot of trouble.

"Lord Raikage, since that's the case, can we enter the village now?"

Asahi, with a smiling face, asked the Third Raikage. The Raikage nodded, "Certainly, feel free to move around."

With that, the Third Raikage gave orders to allow Asahi and the others to move freely within the village. He, along with his group, departed. 

After the Third Raikage left, he ordered to collect the information on Asahi and his group. 

Even though he was willing to admit defeat, he still had to consider the village's safety.

Asahi achieved his goal and didn't linger. With Sakumo and Shisui they entered the Hidden Cloud Village. 

The three casually strolled around the village. 

Although Asahi came for opportunistic reasons, he wasn't entirely sure who in the Hidden Cloud Village would accept him as a disciple.

Since that's the case, why not take a stroll in the Hidden Cloud Village? Fate might just come knocking.

The environment in the Hidden Cloud Village is vastly different from Konoha. 

Though the streets are bustling with people, the distinctive features of the Hidden Cloud Village are immediately noticeable.

Everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village seems to either be a muscular man or carry a sword on their back. 

It resembles a military fortress, lacking the ordinary feel of Konoha, which is more akin to a regular city.

The village's martial atmosphere is evident, and the most crucial point is the majority of people here are black-skinned, which intrigues Asahi.

Could it be because the Cloud Ninjas practice Lightning Release on the mountains all year round, turning them this shade? 

After all, in both the original and the present, almost all skilled Lightning Release users in the Hidden Cloud Village have dark skin.

The few with fair skin either don't use swords or possess various miscellaneous abilities. 

Observing the passing black strong men, Asahi's group stands out on the streets.

Indeed, compared to the locals, the three of them are exceptionally fair. 

Although Sakumo wears a mask, his exposed palm reveals his skin color.

Along with their attire, they don't belong to the Hidden Cloud. Thus, the three attract 100% attention wherever they go.

Anyone who sees them cannot help but stare for a while. 

However, the people of the Hidden Cloud, although uncertain about the situation, refrain from approaching or bothering them.

Asahi finds this situation quite helpless. Like cherished animals in a zoo, being scrutinized is something he doesn't appreciate. 

However, he can't control the behavior of the villagers, so he bears with it.

Fortunately, despite the unwanted attention, Asahi seems to have found an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

.....

At the end of the street where Asahi is, a girl around eight or nine years old appears on the street. 

Unlike most villagers in the Hidden Cloud, she doesn't have dark skin but has rare fair skin.

At a glance, it's apparent that she is one of the few beauties in the Hidden Cloud Village. 

However, her fair skin and exceptional appearance don't seem to bring her any advantages.

The moment she appears, everyone around her instinctively moves away. Not for her skin, but because of her identity as the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails.

Yes, this girl is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village, Yugito Nii. Although the village values martial prowess, it doesn't mean they are free from biases against Jinchuriki.

Even in a martial village like the Hidden Cloud, they still fear and resent the uncontrollable power of the Tailed Beasts. 

Moreover, Yugito is just a little girl. Who would believe she could control the fearsome monster within her?

Even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, struggles to control the beast within him, occasionally going on a rampage in the future.

So, despite being a Jinchuriki, people still keep their distance from Yugito, considering the potential danger her power represents.

Yugito watched the people around her avoiding and fearing her gaze, yet she didn't show a depressed or sad expression. 

She was accustomed to this situation; to be precise, every day since she could remember had been like this.

Everyone avoided her, feared her, but what did it matter? She was the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, one of the proud Two-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud.

She didn't need others' closeness; living alone was just fine for her.

Even though Yugito thought this way, the occasional flicker of disappointment in her eyes betrayed her innermost, genuine feelings.

Indeed, which child at the age of nine years old wouldn't wish for companionship? Even the proud Yugito secretly longed for companions in her heart.

Unfortunately, due to her unique status, this hope seemed hard to fulfill. 

After all, there wasn't anyone brave enough to be a companion to a Jinchuriki, even if only from a distance.

Honestly, in the tender heart of Yugito, there were complaints about why she had to be chosen as a Jinchuriki.

However, after venting those complaints, she would actively face life again. 

After all, she was one of the proud Two-Tails Jinchuriki! How could she blame fate or others?
