The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 239 Door-to-Door Delivery

At the door of Xueying's house, Hinata Feng saw that Uchiha Izumi was still hesitating to come forward, so he simply went forward and opened the door to invite Uchiha Izumi in.

"Quan, what are you standing there for? Come in. Don't worry, they're all easy to get along with. You've met them many times before, so just treat it as a chance to make friends. It's okay."

After hearing what Hinata Feng said, Uchiha Izumi couldn't help but roll her eyes. How could the situation before be the same as now? She really wanted to complain, "Sir Xueying, your tone now is exactly the same as when you lied to me and said it wasn't spicy at all!"

However, the current situation made Quan in no mood to refute or complain. Looking at the open door, Quan slowly moved his feet and followed.

Hinata Feng smiled at this and took the lead to step in. Quan followed closely behind, head lowered, looking like a humble and submissive young wife.

Izumi cautiously followed Hinata Feng towards the house, but they didn't see anyone until they reached the upper floor. All the bedrooms were empty; Yuhi Kurenai and Anko were gone. After a round of searching, they finally spotted the little girl, Uchiha Hikaru, in the living room.

At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the sofa watching a movie, with a popsicle in her mouth, swallowing it with great pleasure.

It was just the smear of white cream at the corner of her mouth that made Quan couldn't help but lower his head again after taking a look, as if he had had something similar at the corner of his mouth before.

"Why are you home alone? Where are Tsunade, Kurenai and the others?"

"woo"

Swallowing the last bite of cream in his mouth with satisfaction, Uchiha watched the movie without turning his head, and lazily dealt with the Hinata breeze in his mouth.

"They went to the Snow Country. It seems someone from Konoha sneaked into the caravan and entered the Snow Country, and they went around and made their way to the capital. They seemed to know that big cow, and they even contacted Tsunade through the casino. Anko and Kurenai might have known them as well, and they decided to go together.

Just leave me here and let me tell you.

But don't worry, Hong and the others brought your special kunai with them when they went, and they will ask for your help if there is any danger. And according to Tsunade, the information she received showed that those people did not come on behalf of Konoha, but on behalf of their own families.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Do you know which families are coming and who are they?"

In fact, Hinata Feng already had some guesses about the visitor. There were not many families in Konoha that had the wisdom to jump out of the quagmire and the ability to implement it.

Sitting down and stroking his belly contentedly, Uchiha Hikaru tried hard to recall.

"I heard from Yuhi Kurenai that her name seemed to be something like Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Ino, or Yamanaka Ino."

......

In the backyard of a casino in the capital of the Snow Country, Tsunade, Kurenai Yuhi and the others have already met with Nara Shikaku and others.

"Long time no see, Lady Tsunade, and Red Jonin and Miss Anko."

Even though he was meeting ninjas from other villages in a foreign country without the knowledge of his own village, and some of them had been declared traitors, Nara Shikaku still looked calm and composed.

"So it's Shikaku and Haiyi."

When Tsunade first met Nara Shikaku and the others, she looked a little excited, but soon she became bored.

"Even your families are abandoning Konoha?"

"It's hard to say who abandoned whom first."

Nara Shikaku sighed helplessly and explained, "Ever since the Fifth Hokage's disappearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen has returned to power. Under the pretext of defending Konoha, they've intensified their exploitation of the various clans. In less than three years, they've taken nearly 50 people from the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans alone!"

Even after this, they still refused to let go and even wanted to completely drain us dry."

Nara Shikaku looked as if he had no choice.

"Even though our families are willing to serve Konoha, we cannot gamble our family's survival against Sarutobi Hiruzen's conscience. Moreover, the current Konoha Village has long deviated from the original intention of the First Hokage and has been completely twisted into a tool for profit for the Sarutobi, Shimura, and other families."

It seemed that Nara Shikaku was full of resentment towards Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, but he did not feel embarrassed at all about betraying his old master. He called him by his name without any hesitation when he mentioned him.

After a pause, Nara Shikaku continued:

"In fact, for the sake of the family's survival, we can tolerate being exploited even if it means being oppressed. But the more important thing is that the ninja world is in turmoil right now, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and his gang of idiots probably don't have the ability to protect Konoha Village.

To be honest, we have been in the Snow Country for a few days. Although the weather here is a bit cold, the overall environment is still very good.

Later, knowing you were in the Snow Village, we felt a little more reassured. We were originally most worried about the military strength, but after witnessing a breathtaking battle not long ago, we were completely relieved.

Compared to Konoha, the Snow Village is probably our best choice."

Tsunade opened her mouth, then closed it again. She couldn't refute Nara Shikaku's words. She had seen how the living conditions of the residents of the Snow Country had gradually improved and how entertainment had become more abundant.

In desperation, Tsunade took out a bottle of wine and drank it in gulps.

"You don't know much about Hinata Kaze, are you afraid you might make a mistake?"

Nara Shikaku maintained a nonchalant expression. "This is our choice. If anything goes wrong, it will only prove that our vision is limited. Wouldn't it be better to let someone new take over?"

"Disappointment!"

As if stimulated by Nara's resolute attitude, Tsunade put down the bottle dejectedly.

Although this wine tastes good, it doesn't make you drunk. Ever since her physical fitness improved, she can drink it without feeling drunk!

Tsunade couldn't help but recall the near-fainting feeling she'd experienced while practicing Taijutsu with Hinata Feng after getting tipsy a while ago. Although it had been uncomfortable, and she'd even started babbling nonsense, at least she'd forgotten all her worries.

Even though she was deeply injured by the old dog Sarutobi, she was determined to give up Konoha at first and help the Snow Village train medical ninjas. However, after living in seclusion for a few years, Tsunade's heart gradually softened.

No matter what, this was the foundation founded by her grandfather. Now that Konoha is about to fall apart, how can Tsunade not feel melancholy?

Glancing over, she saw Yamanaka Inoichi standing nearby, and the little girl standing in front of Kurenai Yuhi and the others. Tsunade couldn't help but twitch her lips a few times. With all her experience, how could she not understand what Nara Shikaku and the others were planning when they defected to other ninja villages, bringing a beautiful young girl with them?

"You guys really spared no expense to join the Snow Ninja Village."

There was a hint of imperceptible shame and annoyance hidden in Tsunade's sarcastic words. This little girl was obviously a descendant of the Nara or Yamanaka family. If she followed the Hyuga family, how would her generational relationship with her be calculated?
