"Yes, I will send a few people over to inquire about the situation first, and if they need us, I will provide the right assistance."
Having heard that, Satoru just nodded, and immediately sat on the sofa to read the newspaper.
Tsunade didn't speak anymore either, which made Satoru feel very strange. When he raised his head, he saw her staring at him thoughtfully, as if waiting for him to say something.
In a flash Satoru understood, he closed the newspaper and said, "Do you want to know if I am worried about the Mizukage, Terumi Mei or not?"
Tsunade who was poked in the right spot just bowed her head.
"I'm indeed worried about her, after all, we are also partners worked side by side just recently."
"Then you can go and visit her."
"So generous? Aren't you afraid that I will be seduced by others?"
Satoru said jokingly.
Unexpectedly, Tsunade said directly as if giving up on that topic, "You already have her in your heart, it doesn't matter if I stop it or not, your heart is too big, I can't fill it all by myself.
Satoru tried to defend himself, but found himself speechless because Tsunade was telling the truth, he could indeed love more than this one person, but Tsunade was the first person in his heart, and she herself should know this.
Just when Satoru wanted to make a point of this, Tsunade returned to normal, and said with a smile, "I know in your heart, I am the most important one, and that's enough. I never thought of monopolizing you, not only do I want to be your woman, but I also want to be your supporter."
"Thank you for understanding me."
"Then let's get things done neatly. Kirigakure's letter will be at most arrive by tomorrow. I'll write a reply and you can take it with you."
"Very well."
…
The next day, Kirigakure's letter arrived.
This time it was shorter, it just said Kirigakure was troubled with some problems, and requested Konoha to please wait a little while.
The letters were from Terumi Mei and it was discussed and written by Kirigakure's top management before but this time it was written by her personally.
For Terumi Mei to personally write this, it showed that Kirigakure's troubles were really serious.
Tsunade immediately explained her intentions, and wrote that Konoha was willing to actively help Kirigakure, and let Satoru leave early in the morning with the reply letter.
This was not the first time Satoru had walked that road, coupled with Kirigakure's situation, he hurried all the way, and reached the Land of Water in two and a half days.
(T.L Note: Why didn't he just teleported there?)
Kirigakure was on a small island in the middle of the sea. To go to the island, one needs to take a boat, but Kirigakure was self-enclosed, except for the boats in the village, no foreign boats could go to the island without the required permission.
Logically, there should be a ferry there, but when Satoru came there and waited for a long time, no boat arrived.
He began to feel a little bored, took advantage of the moonlight, stepped on the water, and controlled his chakra to go there by foot.
It's not a short journey.
(T.L Note: Again, why just not teleport?)
The reason why a ninja could walk on the water was by gathering the chakra on the soles of their feet at a steady speed. Correspondingly, the chakra would also be slowly consumed. A person's chakra storage was limited, and when it was used up, it could not be used to continue to maintain water surface walking.
With such a long distance, even the most powerful ninja would have to go down into the ocean to take a bath after walking half of it.
But Satoru had completed the journey, even more so he did it with ease, after all no one could match the kind of terrifying power that was contained in his body.
…
In the middle of the night, the whole Kirigakure was shrouded in thick fog.
The gate of Kirigakure was closed, and Satoru jumped on the gate, but instead of just breaking in, he just let the guards discover him.
The members of the security department at the door were alarmed, and several people rushed out in an instant, looking around vigilantly.
"Who is there?"
Someone saw a dark figure on the gate and yelled, and another one hastily pointed a weapon at Satoru.
Satoru wore a mask and was dressed in black. At night, under the moonlight, it really looked like a kind of a villainous person who came to the door for killing people.
No wonder they were so nervous.
Satoru squatted on the door, stretched out his hand lazily to say hello, and said, "The transportation to Kirigakure is not very good, and I took a lot of effort to come here in order to deliver a letter from Hokage-sama."
"Who are you!"
Satoru pulled down his mask, and one of them recognized him immediately, and hurriedly informed his companions.
"It's Konoha's Yagyu Satoru-sama! Hurry up! Open the door!"
The news of Satoru's late-night visit quickly reached Terumi Mei's ears. She seemed to have just got out of work, her clothes were wrinkled, her face was tired, and her eyes were even bloodshot.
"Why are you…?"
"Hokage-sama thinks that something may have happened to you here, so she let me come over and take a look. We didn't expect to receive your personally written letter on the day of departure, so I rushed over immediately."
Terumi Mei's chest felt very tight. At a time when she was troubled and desperate, Satoru came down like a savior, which made her very excited.
After the incident with Yamada last time, he left without saying goodbye, and Terumi Mei struggled very hard not to go to him to express her feelings and make things complicated. Unexpectedly he came here in person for her own sake.
"You look tired, take a rest, we will have a talk after dawn."
After Satoru finished speaking, Terumi Mei felt like a burden was released, and she was like a string that had been stretched for a long time, and broke at last.
Her consciousness was instantly blurred, and she didn't even have time to worry about whether she might fall and eat shit.
Satoru moved quickly, caught Terumi Mei's falling body, hugged her back with one hand, and her legs with the other.
As soon as she hugged her, Satoru couldn't help frowning.
'It's only been over a month, how did she lose so much weight? What did she experience in this time?'
"Mizukage-sama…"
Holding the cloak, Mina squeezed out from the crowd, looked at the fainted Terumi Mei, and then at Satoru, hesitating to speak.
"You can tell me if you have something to say."
"It's a long story, Satoru-sama, let's take Mizukage-sama home first, she hasn't slept for three days."
For a Kage-level shinobi, there would be no serious problems if he/she does not sleep for three days, and even in a fighting state, he/she will not have many problems.
But Terumi Mei just got rid of the curse on her body, and when her body was still recovering slowly, she entered into the cooperation project with Konoha, she was too busy every day, and then what happened recently, she didn't ate, drank or took rest properly for several days, and that caused her to be seriously exhausted.
