79 [Arrival!]
"...They will be arriving today..." I stood in Tsunade-sama's office, It's been a couple of days and I think everyone was enjoying some peace and quiet, but her sudden announcement pulled the rug from under my feet…
I sigh and said, "So soon?" She nodded and threw a scroll at me...
"What's this?" The system answers my question…
[B-Class Mission Generated: Show Temari around]
[Description: According to the alliance signed with the Suna, Temari will give up her place as a shinobi of Suna and will join Konoha instead. As her future husband it is your duty to show her the sights around.]
[Rewards: 10,000 EXP, 20SP]
I read the notification while pretending to read the scroll before giving Tsunade-sama a dead stare, "Yes Hokage-sama, when are they gonna be here?" She cocks an eyebrow at my acceptance but then says, "They are already here waiting for us actually, come along!"
We made our way to the same meeting hall where we had the negotiations, I could sense Temari, Baki, and Kankuro in the room along with elder Chiyo…
"How are you doing Hokage-dono..." Chiyo was the first one to start the conversation as I focus on Temari, She looked quite beautiful, to be honest, she had light red-colored lipstick on and a different hairstyle on, instead of the four buns, she had the two back buns in place while the front bangs were swept to one side… she was wearing a purple Kimono and sat there elegantly…
'... And here I am in my shinobi gear...'
I just sat down and turn my head towards Kankuro as Tsunade-sama replied a polite greeting to Chiyo-san, I mainly focused on his two hands, they were a lot different than before, more refined with a lot of internal spaces that were connected with many chakra threads that were coming from his elbows, I raise my eyebrows at his stiffened shoulder muscles and him channeling chakra…
'...Ready to fight? But I also sense fear mixed in your emotions...'
"... I hope you remember the promise and not back off from the alliance?" Chiyo-san finally broke the question…
"Of course Konoha doesn't go back on its words..."
'Ouch...Real subtle there Tsunade-sama'
Chiyo-san waved the barb away and smiled, "Then we can safely leave Temari-chan here without worry, I know you will take good care of her..." She takes out a document and places it in place of Tsunade-sama, "...Here is the complete treaty, we can just sign here and finalize our alliance..." Tsunade-sama just patiently read the whole thing before saying with raised eyebrows, "It is signed between Hokage and Kazekage… I didn't know that you guys have already elected one?"
Baki finally said, "It was decided for me to step up to be the Kazekage, at least temporarily until Gaara or Kankuro are ready to take up the mantle..."
'...shit...Dammit...fuck'
I kept cursing in my mind and Baki seemed to have picked up on my reaction as he addressed me next, "...Are you alright Tobi-kun, you don't seem okay?"
'...Don't push it'
A heavy chakra settled on the room for a minute as I unconsciously flared my chakra for just a second and everyone stiffened at the sudden killing intent that emanated before dissipating...
"Of course not, Kazekage-san, congratulations!" my reply was dull and Tsunade-sama was giving me a glare from the side at my disrespect as Baki said, "You should know that we have given proper compensation for Konoha's loses, I won't tolerate disrespect from a Chunin of Konoha..." He flared his own chakra as we both stared at each other…
"Of course, any losses can be fairly compensated, isn't that right Kazekage-sama..." I gave him the same smile that I once did before my fight with Gaara, his mind seemingly instantly made the connection, and his eyes nervously drifted towards Temari…
He let the matter drop and signed the document as the Kazekage after Tsunade-sama did the same, Chiyo-sama took out another scroll and went through a couple of hand seals and I recognize seals started appearing on the document as the ink floats into the air and divides itself into two copies before flying to the two scrolls… She then passes the first scroll to Tsunade-sama while keeping the original one for herself…
"Thank you for the Hospitality Hokage-dono but we need to leave soon, you know the village needs to be monitored at such delicate times..." They continued to exchange pleasantries as I turn back to Temari who was staring at me, I respond with a raised eyebrow and she just turns her head away and pretended to look at the ceiling behind me…
'...Right because that ceiling is real interesting...'
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
I was leaning against the gate as Temari was saying her goodbyes, It took quite a while as she hugged Kankuro and they were talking so I also went deep into my thoughts…
'...It seems you will have to wait a little bit Sensei… Kabuto was taken away and now Baki is the Kazekage… shit, I guess one day I'll be able to fulfill my promise to you Sensei, I just hope it works out...'
Temari walks and stands in front of me as she looked away shyly…
'What the fuck happened to her, she was all brash, and… she got a seduction mission didn't she...'
I sigh and turn away as I began to walk towards the village, "Come on, first things first, Let me show you where you will be saying..."
'If only you could have masked your emotions better, it would have been a little harder for me to detect this...'
[Ping!]
[S-Rank Mission Generated: You discovered some clues to a conspiracy by Sunagakure]
[???]
[???]
'... fuck you, I'm not dealing with another unknown mission...'
