Samui nodded along with the crowd, and no one paid any attention.
Molloy looked at one of the young Cloud Village ninjas and said, "The Konoha led by Hiruzen Sarutobi is the weakest. When you talk to the Konoha ninjas, you don't need to be too polite. Later, go and tell the Konoha people that I am unwell and need to rest."
The young Cloud Villager nodded: "Sir, what if the people of Konoha ask if we need to rest for a few days?"
Molloy casually replied, "Whatever, two or three days is fine."
In fact, he planned to stay in bed for a week first.
As for the peace talks... overall, the Cloud Village still holds the initiative on the battlefield. With the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee working together, the younger members of Konoha are mostly on the defensive.
The longer the time drags on, the more anxious Konoha will become, and the more advantageous it will be for Kumogakure.
The young Cloud Villager received the order and waited until more than half of the afternoon had passed before finding Namikaze Raito who was waiting.
"Our adults are unwell and have fallen ill."
"Rest for three days first."
"Ah? He's sick?" Namiashi Raido exclaimed in surprise.
He was half feigning it, and half genuinely shocked by the other party's attitude. Of course, he didn't believe that the leader of the prestigious Cloud Hidden Delegation would collapse from exhaustion due to the long journey; the other party must have their own purpose in doing so.
"Are you alright? Konoha can provide the best medical ninjas."
Yunyin shook his head: "Then there's no need. We have medical ninjas in our delegation, so we can handle it ourselves."
After saying that, he closed the door, blocking Namishi Raido outside.
With a somber expression, Namiya Raido stood at the door for a moment before turning and leaving.
The Hokage's office.
Raido Namiashi reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Lord Hokage, it seems that the people of Kumogakure are deliberately delaying us."
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe: "I understand."
Namiya Raito: "So what do we do next? Should I send someone to bring them over?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "No need."
"Take good care of them first, and try to meet their needs as much as possible. We'll talk about it later."
With a hesitant expression, Nami finally replied, "I understand."
For the next few days, Yunyin remained secluded at home.
Day 1: Rest.
The next day, I rested.
On the third day, I had food poisoning and took a break.
Namiashi Raido stated that the meals provided to Kumogakure were made with the freshest and most expensive ingredients, making food poisoning impossible. The Kumogakure ninja explained that it was a snack they had bought on their way there, and that they had gotten a stomachache from eating it, which had nothing to do with Konoha. They also told Namiashi Raido not to blame himself too much.
'Self-blame?'
'You blame yourself!' and muttered the same curses under his breath.
On the fourth day, the leader of the Cloud Village asked Namiashi Raido to go out with him. Before the latter could be happy for long, when they passed a garden, the leader of the Cloud Village suddenly changed his expression, blushed and said that he was allergic to pollen. He then ran back to his residence, coughing and wheezing.
I lay down for another two days.
Raido Nami kept reporting the news to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who just frowned and tried his best to meet the demands of Kumogakure.
During this time, not everyone in Kumogakure remained secluded. A few restless young people occasionally ventured out, wandering around Konoha and even visiting the clan territories of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans under the guidance of Konoha ninjas.
A short-haired woman named Samui also slipped out and spent a day strolling through Konoha's busiest streets, buying back many things.
Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions, Raido Namiashi disposed of all these items afterward.
……
"You have no idea how outrageous the Cloud Village delegation is."
"That's not right either! It's not just the people in the delegation who went too far, the Hokage is also too... cowardly."
"The people from Yunyin Village are all reimbursed for buying sanitary napkins."
At Maoyue Xiyang's home, Maoyue Xiyang was reporting the latest news to Shenyue Xingyun.
Shingetsu Seiun, however, seemed uninterested, appearing more concerned about Uzuki Yuhi's health than the situation of the Cloud Village delegation.
Eat more.
"Eating too little is not good."
"Mmm," replied Uzuki Yuhi.
However, his gossipy nature was hard to resist, and he would occasionally stop what he was doing to talk to Shenyue Xingyun.
"Just a few days ago, Namiashi Raido was complaining to the villagers that he, a Hokage's bodyguard, had now become the nanny of Kumogakure."
"The people of Yunyin go to him for everything, whether it's running out of hot water, being thirsty, or hungry, no matter how small the matter is."
Shen Yue Xingyun flicked her fingers: "Just stop serving me."
“Hmm~” said Uzuki Yuhi: “Easier said than done.”
"If Namiashi Raido doesn't want to serve, he'll have to see if the Hokage agrees."
Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.
"Forget it, stop talking about this, it's annoying."
Uozuki Sunset quickened her movements and laughed, "Then what should I say to you? Won't you get annoyed?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "It's best not to say anything."
The setting sun in the month of Maoyue fell silent and began to nod frequently.
Thirty minutes later, Shenyue Xingyun got up.
Maoyue Xiyang: "What are you doing?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "Go out for a while."
Uzuki Sunset: "No, I'm full, but I'm not full yet."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Next time, next time for sure. I have something to do."
Uzuki Sunset: "What could you possibly want? Which girl are you going on a date with this time?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "What are you thinking about? Let's get down to business."
"I'm going to the Hyuga clan."
Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun's expression seemed genuine, Uozuki Ushio nodded.
"Then go ahead."
When will you come again?
Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "If you want, I can come tonight."
Uzuki Sunset: "No, Yugao will be here tonight."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Then forget it, let's wait until next Tuesday, the earlier dates are all booked up."
Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yuhi immediately became anxious; she didn't want to wait until next Tuesday.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Come later, after 12 o'clock, through the back door."
Shenyue Xingyun looked at her with interest: "What, aren't you worried that Xiyan will find out?"
Uzuki Sunset: "She was already asleep by then. With your abilities, as long as you don't deliberately wake her up, she won't notice."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Alright, wait for me."
After leaving Uzuki Yuhi's home, Shinzuki Seiun headed straight for the Hyuga clan.
"Brother Nebula?" A few minutes later, Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga clan exclaimed with delight, "What brings you here today? Want to have a drink with me?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "No."
Hinata Hizashi: "..."
Shingetsu Seiun: "I've come to tell you that there are people from Kumogakure in the village recently. You and Chief Hiashi should be careful."
Hyuga Hizashi was taken aback: "Be careful? Why do you say that?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "The people from Yunyin have been moving around the village a lot lately. I'm afraid they have other intentions."
Hizashi Hyuga's expression turned serious: "You mean..."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "It's just a rough guess."
Just in case, I'm letting you know.
Hizashi Hyuga: "This...no way?"
"Are the people of Kumogakure really this bold? Besides, the Hokage is here..."
"I don't care about these things." Shingetsu Seiun didn't intend to explain in detail to Hyuga Hizashi. Now that he was in Konoha, it was uncertain whether the people of Kumogakure would act as they remembered. He was only reminding Hyuga Hizashi out of consideration for their acquaintance.
"I'm just saying, it's up to you whether you listen or not."
"You rest first, I have a lot to do, I'll be going now."
Seeing him leave in such a hurry, Hyuga Hizashi muttered to himself, "Isn't he supposed to be free of missions? Why does he seem so busy?"
He didn't know about Shingetsu Seiun's schedule, and naturally couldn't understand the busy life of such a handsome guy. He shook his head and turned around to report to Hyuga Hiashi.
Chapter 418 Arrogant Cloud Hidden, Suspicious Samui
After hearing his report, Hyuga Hiashi felt that such a guess was too far-fetched. Considering that it was Shingetsu Seiun who reminded him, he gave Hyuga Hizashi a word of advice.
"Since it was Jonin Nebula who said it, keep an eye on it if you have time these next two days."
"I will also accompany the Hokage to deal with the delegation. The Hyuga clan has contributed a lot this time, and I believe the Hokage will treat us well after the peace talks."
That night, the Divine Moon Star Cloud concealed their tracks and found the setting sun of the Rabbit Moon, but the ensuing chaos was left unmentioned.
In the following days, the entire village of Konoha focused its attention on the Cloud Village delegation.
Three more days passed, and just as everyone in Konoha began to suspect that Kumogakure was feigning peace talks while secretly plotting something else, the Kumogakure delegation finally announced that they had rested enough and could proceed with peace negotiations.
