"Colt-sama, Hokage-sama requests your presence."
After returning to the village, Colt was once again summoned by Tsunade within two leisurely days.
"Is there sothing urgent?" Colt asked lazily, enjoying the grapes fed to him by his maid.
The ANBU lowered his head slightly, afraid to see anything he shouldn't:
"I heard it has sothing to do with the Cloud Shinobi Village sending ssengers soon."
"Hmm." Swallowing the grapes, Colt tapped his finger.
"Understood. I'll be there shortly."
"Yes, sir!"
After relaying the news to Colt, the ANBU left imdiately without lingering.
Colt stretched and finished the rest of the fruit before slowly rising.
"Take care of the house,"
"Alright," Yakumo smiled gently, thoughtfully smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes caused by lying down for so long.
The girl's delicate fragrance wafted to Colt's nose, montarily flustering him.
Seeing Colt's unnatural behavior, Yakumo's smile grew even wider.
"You!" Colt lightly tapped her forehead, sighed helplessly, and vanished instantly.
It was sowhat of a retreat.
Looking at the empty courtyard, Yakumo's smile faded as she carefully took out a book titled "Icha Icha Paradise."
Turning to the bookmarked page, she read intently.
Before long, her face turned red.
This chapter happened to be the story of a domineering master and a ek little maid.
"Master, welco back. Do you want to eat first, or... have first..."
Leaving the house, Colt strolled leisurely into the Hokage building.
He knocked on the door lightly and only entered after receiving a response.
Tsunade looked slightly surprised.
"I thought you'd co directly with the [Flying Thunder God]. Why are you so polite today?"
Colt rolled his eyes and sat down on the sofa.
"There's nothing urgent, so I won't be so abrupt."
Tsunade chuckled and shook her head, handing a scroll to Colt.
"The Cloud Shinobi Village has sent two ssengers to hold Sasuke accountable. I intend to leave this matter to you."
Colt took it, glanced at it, and tossed it into the trash can with disdain.
"After two years, they still don't know their place. Leave it to ; I'll take good care of them." He deliberately emphasized the word "care."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
There were so things she couldn't do as the Hokage, but if Colt handled them, it would be appropriate.
However, she still reminded him.
"Don't let Yugito go out for a few days. Being discovered by the Cloud Shinobis will bring nothing but trouble."
The identity of Yugito was still very sensitive.
Even if she was rescued by Konoha, the Fourth Raikage would not acknowledge them and would probably suspect ulterior motives.
Colt nodded, "Understood."
It wasn't long before Colt received a report informing him that Cloud Shinobi ninja had appeared.
When he arrived, he saw a dark-skinned girl raising her fist, about to strike Naruto.
Swish!
Colt vanished instantly and appeared before Karui.
Before she could react, he kicked her.
Boom!
The recently repaired city wall once again had a large hole smashed into it by the dark- skinned girl.
"Karui!"
Another Cloud Shinobi ninja, Omoi, was shocked and rushed over to check on her condition.
Seeing her unconscious with a large bruise on her chest, he looked at Colt angrily.
"Is this how Konoha receives envoys from other countries?"
Colt scratched the back of his head, thought for a mont, and nodded very seriously,
"You're right, it really was wrong of to do this."
Just when Omoi thought Colt was going to apologize, he heard him continue.
"To properly receive the ssengers, I've decided to kill you first, then let the Fourth Raikage
send a new batch of ssengers."
A [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] appeared in his hand.
Omoi's expression froze.
Why wasn't this person following the usual protocol?
Fortunately, Naruto pulled him back at this mont.
"Colt, Sasuke did sothing wrong, and they have the right to be angry at ."
Naruto still regarded Sasuke as a mber of Konoha and felt indebted to the Cloud Shinobi Village. This was why he was prepared to let the dark-skinned girl hit him without fighting
back.
Colt glanced at him and slowly dispersed the Rasenshuriken in his hand.
"Fine... for your sake..."
"Cloud Shinobi ssenger, co to the eting room in the Hokage Building in ten minutes.
I won't wait."
After speaking, Colt disappeared again instantly.
Only the bewildered duo of Naruto and the Cloud Shinobi were left standing there.
Ten minutes later, in the conference room.
Opposite Colt sat only Omoi. As for the dark-skinned girl Karui, she had been sent to the
Konoha Hospital.
"Tell , what does the Fourth Raikage want?"
Omoi was very angry when Colt ntioned the Fourth Raikage's na so casually, but he still
forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Uchiha Sasuke from your village, along with the Kirigakure missing nins, captured our
teacher, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee. Shouldn't Konoha provide us with an
explanation?"
Colt tapped his fingers and said dismissively, "Let correct you as there were two
mistakes."
"First, Uchiha Sasuke was kidnapped by Orochimaru three years ago. Although he didn't officially defect from Konoha, we lost control over him."
"So, what he did has nothing to do with Konoha. If you catch him, I'll thank you on behalf of
Konoha."
That was why the Cloud Shinobi Village sent soone to Konoha to hold them accountable.
Following Sasuke's departure, Tsunade did not imdiately issue an order for him to beco
a missing nin at Naruto's pleading.
So, in the eyes of outsiders, Sasuke was still a mber of Konoha, and everything he did was understood as Konoha's directive.
From this perspective, Konoha was indeed at fault.
However, Colt was essentially unreasonable towards outsiders.
Looking at Omoi, who dared to speak out, Colt kindly pointed out his second mistake.
"Secondly, if a Jinchuriki is captured, the Tailed Beast will be extracted by the Akatsuki organization. Killer Bee would certainly not survive."
Omoi stood up in shock, knocking over all the teacups in front of him. Hot tea spilled all over
the floor.
"What did you say?"
Cloud Shinobi Village knew very little about Akatsuki's intelligence and had no idea what
their purpose was.
They still thought Killer Bee was simply captured.
Even with Yugito's rescue. Now that Omoi heard what Colt said, it's not surprising that he was shocked.
At this mont, a rapid alarm sounded from outside. Colt's expression changed as he
hurriedly opened the door and called for an ANBU.
