Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 203: The Fearful Konoha Villagers

In the Hokage's Office

"Tsunade-sama, Hozuki Suigetsu from the Immortal Organization has arrived in our village."

"Hm? What is he doing here? Our village no longer has a Jinchuriki!

No, I have to go check this out myself. That guy wouldn't come here for anything good!"

Tsunade slapped her forehead as she spoke.

She didn't believe for a second that Suigetsu had come to Konoha for any legitimate business.

If that were the case, a letter would have sufficed—there would be no need for him to come in person.

And this wasn't just anyone; this was Hozuki Suigetsu, a ninja with Kage-level strength!

Even she wasn't confident that she could take him down.

"Tsunade-sama just wants to slack off, right?"

At that moment, Shizune walked in, holding a small piglet.

She glanced at the pile of documents on Tsunade's desk, then at Tsunade herself. Her meaning was obvious.

"Hey! How can you say I'm slacking off?! I'm doing this for the safety of the village!"

Tsunade pouted in protest, then left the Hokage's office immediately.

Seeing this, Shizune sighed and quickly followed.

"Well, if it isn't Hozuki Suigetsu from the Immortal Organization. What brings you to our Konoha?"

Tsunade stood directly in front of Suigetsu, smiling, but her nerves were tightly wound.

"Oh? The legendary Sannin, Tsunade? Looks like my luck is pretty good today."

Suigetsu smiled casually at Tsunade, showing no signs of nervousness. Then, he got straight to the point.

Not far away, Shizune also arrived, holding the small piglet in her arms. She looked at Suigetsu warily.

At the same time, Suigetsu could feel numerous pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows.

As expected, these guys didn't trust him at all.

But that was normal. This was Konoha, after all.

He was a Kage-level ninja who had entered another village without invitation.

It was no different from sending a Jinchuriki into enemy territory.

Whether it was a Jinchuriki or a Kage-level ninja, both had the potential to cause massive destruction.

Being treated with caution was to be expected.

"I just came to buy some supplies. No need to make such a big deal out of it, right?"

Suigetsu smiled, but Konoha was currently in a sensitive period and couldn't afford to trust a Kage-level ninja so easily.

"I'll accompany you on your shopping trip. The village is still in a state of recovery, and many things are strictly controlled.

Besides, if it was just a simple request, you could've sent a letter. Why come in person?"

Tsunade spoke as she subtly waved her right hand behind her.

Immediately, the Anbu hidden around them dispersed.

"The distance wasn't far, so I came myself.

If I waited for you to send the supplies, I'd probably starve to death first."

Suigetsu grinned, placing both hands behind his head.

"Relax, Haku and I are in the Land of Wind on a mission. We won't randomly attack you.

I just need three months' worth of food and water—only enough for two people, nothing excessive."

Watching Suigetsu casually walk ahead, Tsunade frowned slightly before following him.

He didn't seem to be lying. Though the situation felt odd, she would find out soon enough.

Before long, Suigetsu had purchased three months' worth of food and water.

It was all thanks to Tsunade's presence; otherwise, no shopkeeper would have dared sell him so much.

"Thanks."

Suigetsu waved casually and left, leaving Tsunade standing in a daze at Konoha's gate.

"Tsunade-sama, he's gone. Let's return."

"I really didn't expect him to come just for supplies. But that much food…

Are they planning to stay in the Land of Wind for three months?

There must be some secret we don't know about. Have the Anbu look into it."

Tsunade's gaze was firm as she turned and left.

Meanwhile, a short distance from Konoha, Raen watched as Suigetsu emerged from the village, a smile forming on his face.

"Hah, I didn't expect him to come out so soon. Looks like the wait was worth it.

And Konoha lives up to its reputation. Good thing I didn't go inside, or I'd probably never make it out.

Now, I just need to wait until we reach an isolated place to make my move!"

Raen muttered to himself excitedly.

This was the advantage of being a ghost.

When spying on someone from the shadows, it was almost impossible to be detected.

After all, he was a ghost!

However, he was unaware that the moment Suigetsu left Konoha, he had already sensed the cold, eerie gaze upon him.

Are you kidding me? His Zanpakuto was not just for show.

A short distance away from Konoha, Suigetsu was already feeling impatient.

Raen, on the other hand, wanted to wait a little longer—until they were even farther away before revealing himself.

But just then, Suigetsu suddenly called out loudly:

"I think the guy hiding in the shadows should come out now.

Or do you not want to kill me?"

Raen froze for a moment.

What's going on?

How does he know I'm here?

Was it a coincidence, or had he known from the beginning?

"You're still not coming out?

Do you want me to find you instead?"
