My older sister is Kushina

After exchanging views with Minato Namikaze on matters related to the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure, Hanamichi Uzumaki left the Hokage's office.

Soon, he arrived at the Dark Division building.

In the office area of ​​the first squad of the Dark Division, Hyuga Hima was overseeing daily affairs.

Most of the daily affairs of the first squad are handled by Hyuga Himaru, which is of course at the behest of Captain Langya. He often says to Hyuga Himaru, "I trust you to handle things!"

Upon seeing Captain Wolf Fang arrive, Hyuga Hima immediately greeted him.

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded, then asked Hinata Hima about the daily situation of the First Squad. Soon after, he changed the subject: "Himaru, our First Squad has received a new important mission."

Hyuga Mai frowned slightly: "Another new mission?"

Recently, the first squad has been extremely busy with various missions, and now with the addition of new missions, she is quite frustrated.

Uzumaki Hanato nodded: "A mission personally assigned by the Hokage."

Hyuga Mai asked curiously, "What kind of mission?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi didn't keep them in suspense and replied, "To monitor the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure."

Hyuga Mai showed a hint of surprise: "Wasn't the surveillance mission for the two embassies assigned to the second and third squads?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Yes, but the Hokage wants to add an extra layer of protection by having our First Squad also participate in the mission of monitoring the two delegations."

Hyuga Hima: "Recently, our first squad has been a bit short-handed."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "I know, but this task has a higher priority. Other tasks with relatively lower priority can be postponed or arranged to others through negotiation."

Hyuga Mai: "I see. Then I'll make the relevant mission arrangements as soon as possible."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Fire Dancer, you'll have a lot of work to do next. I'll treat you to a meal after this busy period is over."

Hyuga Mai laughed and said, "Captain, you said it yourself."

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Of course."

Subsequently, Uzumaki Hanamichi and Hyuga Hime discussed the matter of monitoring the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure and determined a preliminary plan.

The negotiations between the Konoha delegation and the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure continued until dusk.

Both sides reached a basic consensus on the matters to be discussed.

Afterwards, the two delegations were respectively assigned to residences for foreign guests by Konoha.

The first squad of the secret service has already arranged for the surveillance missions of the two missions.

Uzumaki Hanato and Hyuga Himaru discussed and decided to remove four people to carry out a secret surveillance mission against the two delegations. The first team was indeed short-handed. In addition to this latest surveillance mission, they had another important task, which was to ensure the safety of the Hokage.

At present, Minato Namikaze's most trusted ANBU members are the First Squad. The relationships between many members in the other squads are somewhat complicated, such as members from ANBU.

Minato Namikaze usually entrusts his main protection work to the first squad of the Anbu.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

Konoha's nights are still lively, with the streets brightly lit.

Inside the Midnight Diner, Whirlpool Flower City and Little Jade are making final preparations for the diner's opening today.

Normally, careful preparation is required before each business opening.

Many ingredients need to be marinated or prepared in advance.

Xiaoyu: "Master, do you think the delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure will visit our Midnight Diner?"

Having met the delegations from both Kumogakure and Kirigakure today, she was quite looking forward to them tasting her master's cuisine. In her eyes, her master, Uzumaki Ikebana, was the most delicious food in the world, and she hoped to gain wider recognition for it.

Whirlpool Flower Path said with a smile, "Those who are destined to meet will come together."

At 8 p.m., Whirlpool Flower Path opened its doors and hung up the lanterns to signal its opening.

Before long, the late-night diner was filled with customers.

Whirlpool Flower City and Xiaoyuzi were busy as always.

Half an hour later, a queue had formed outside the shop.

Xiaoyuzi: "Master, there seem to be a lot of people today; a queue has already started to form."

Whirlpool Flower didn't seem to notice. She glanced outside and nodded, "It seems so. Looks like I'll be busy today."

Outside the Midnight Diner, a girl with bright green eyes was strolling around with great interest. She had long, reddish-brown, wavy hair that was almost completely covering her right eye. However, what was most striking was her impressive figure at such a young age.

The girl was accompanied by a one-eyed man with gray-blue hair, who looked somewhat cautious.

The two were none other than Mei Terumi and Ao, two members of the Hidden Mist Mission.

Mei Terumi was visiting Konoha for the first time. After the delegation settled into their lodgings provided by Konoha, she quickly slipped out of the lodgings, wanting to explore Konoha properly.

However, she was discovered by Qing as soon as she left her residence.

Ao was worried. Although Mei Terumi was young, she was a rising star in Kirigakure, possessing two powerful bloodline limits: Lava Release and Boil Release. Before coming here, the village's elder had specifically instructed him to ensure Mei Terumi's safety.

Mei Terumi, while eating fish balls, chuckled and commented, "Konoha's fish balls are so mediocre. If it's out of ten, I can only give them a five at most, no higher."

Qing shook her head helplessly.

Mei Terumi: "Uncle Ao, you can have the rest."

Without giving Ao any chance to refuse, Mei Terumi directly stuffed the remaining fish balls into Ao's hands.

Qingmei frowned. He had eaten a lot of food with Terumi Mei along the way. Terumi Mei would only taste a couple of bites of many things before stuffing them into his mouth. Now he was quite full.

Mei Terumi: "Hey, Uncle Ao, look at that shop up ahead, there's a queue! Let's go see what good food they have."

Qing said helplessly, "You've already eaten enough!"

Mei Terumi said, "No, you ate them all."

Qing was speechless.

The two quickly headed towards the late-night diner where there was a queue and joined the line.

As soon as they started queuing, Mei Terumi asked the person in front of her curiously, "Uncle, what's good to eat at this restaurant?"

The middle-aged man in front glanced at Mei Terumi and said, "You must be envoys from Kirigakure."

Mei Terumi didn't deny it; she nodded.

The middle-aged man in front quickly and enthusiastically introduced, "This Midnight Diner belongs to the famous Konoha gourmet, the Flower Arrangement Master. It only opens at eight o'clock every night. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes made by the Flower Arrangement Master himself. My favorite Flower Arrangement is brewing beer, which, paired with a few skewers of barbecue, is absolutely the best taste in the world. In addition, the Flower Arrangement Master is also proficient in various dishes, such as sushi, ramen, rice bowls, sashimi..."

Listening to the uncle's introduction, Terumi Mei couldn't help but swallow hard.
