"May I ask if you are Dr. Vegapunk? This is Konohagakure, welcome, Doctor!"
After entering Konohagakure, Vegapunk saw the current Third Hokage walking over with a smile, followed by Kakashi Hatake.
As the only Ninja who had ever dealt with Vegapunk for a period of time, Kakashi was naturally pulled along by the Third Hokage to serve as a host for Vegapunk.
Although Vegapunk's status was high, he was not a Daimyo of a nation after all. Having a Jonin like Kakashi host him was not considered a slight.
"So it's the Lord Third Hokage!" Vegapunk said with a smile, "You look quite energetic!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Doctor, but this old man can't compare to you young people! Dr. Vegapunk's various inventions have contributed far more than an old man like me! Your current fame far exceeds mine as a Ninja leader!"
"Not at all, how can I compare to you, old gentleman..."
The two of them engaged in some boring mutual flattery. While Vegapunk didn't particularly like such things, it didn't mean he didn't understand interpersonal communication. However, after a few sentences, the Third Hokage felt the gaze of the stunningly beautiful woman standing beside Vegapunk growing colder and sharper, giving him a feeling like needles against his back.
The Third Hokage was well aware that the strength of this woman beside Vegapunk was definitely extraordinary. After all, Kakashi had once suffered a great loss at her hands. That strange power of petrification was something even he was wary of after hearing about it.
Therefore, seeing that Hancock was already showing signs of dissatisfaction, he didn't chat with Vegapunk much longer. Instead, he left Kakashi behind and quickly made an excuse to depart.
"Dr. Vegapunk, I will now guide you on a tour of Konoha Village!"
Kakashi spoke directly, but as he spoke, his gaze strangely flickered toward Uchiha Obito, who was following at the very back. He felt that this low-profile coachman felt somewhat familiar.
But soon, Kakashi shook his head, dismissing it as an illusion. As for the fact that the coachman also possessed a not-weak Chakra, Kakashi didn't have the slightest suspicion.
After all, as Vegapunk's personal coachman, he could essentially be considered a bodyguard; it was only natural for him to have some strength.
Conversely, Uchiha Obito, whom Kakashi considered a mere coachman, kept scanning Kakashi Hatake out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with a complexity he himself didn't know how to describe.
But in the end, Uchiha Obito simply lowered his head, better concealing his presence and strengthening the conviction in his heart.
"As long as I can go back to the past... as long as I can go back to the past... all regrets can be mended, all tragedies can be undone... as long as I can go back to the past!"
...Konohagakure still placed great importance on Vegapunk and his group, giving them a reception level second only to a Daimyo.
At the very least, the hotel hosting them was the largest and most prosperous in Konohagakure. Of course, there were certainly many Anbu nearby, but as soon as Vegapunk and the others entered, they immediately set up a barrier, blocking all outside observation.
Night fell quietly, and outside Vegapunk's hotel, a few mysterious Ninjas silently appeared.
Vegapunk, who had suppressed quite a bit of anger during the day and was currently enjoying the service of Hancock and Mei Terumī, was soon startled by a warning set by his Quantum chip.
Damn it! Of all times! These guys from Konoha can't even wait a single day?!
Vegapunk, who was in the middle of enjoying himself, was suddenly filled with irritation. He patted the head of Mei Terumī below him and moved his toes to alert Hancock.
Mei Terumī looked up at Vegapunk with blurred eyes, but Hancock, who possessed Observation Haki, snapped out of her flushed and intoxicated state instantly.
"Damn it, those bastards! I will definitely feed all these Ninjas to the snakes!"
Hancock hurriedly scrambled up, grabbed her Cheongsam from the floor, and dressed in a few quick motions. Her originally beautiful face now wore a terrifying expression, and she was prepared to give all the Konoha Ninjas an unforgettable lesson on the spot.
Mei Terumī, whose perception abilities were not as sharp, only then realized what was happening. She hurriedly spat out what was in her mouth, and the brown-haired beauty also wore a teeth-gritting expression, preparing to put on her clothes and join Hancock in making a scene.
Vegapunk grabbed them both: "Don't get excited, I've already thought of a way to retaliate! Don't mess up the plan when the time comes."
"Fine, for darling's sake!" As soon as Vegapunk hugged her, Hancock went soft. she pouted as she spoke. As for Mei Terumī, she was even easier to persuade.
"Hancock, open the gate to Amenominaka Space first. Let's go inside!"
Hearing Vegapunk's instruction, Hancock nodded obediently and directly used her ability to open the Amenominaka gate.
Subsequently, Vegapunk's trio walked straight in. The black spatial portal did not close immediately; instead, after a moment, ten lifeless figures walked out.
Within the Amenominaka Space, there was Vegapunk's laboratory and living quarters, as well as machines that could directly observe the outside perimeter.
Vegapunk directly used his electromagnetic abilities to issue a command, and a moment later, a projection screen appeared before the three of them.
"Alright, let's just watch from here!"
Vegapunk said with a smile, then sat directly on the sofa behind him.
After Vegapunk's modifications, the Amenominaka Space not only allowed observation of the outside from within but also had much stronger spatial walls. Aside from Hancock herself, only Vegapunk, who possessed the corresponding spatial coordinates and spatial travel technology, could enter.
Others, even through Summoning Jutsu or Space-Time Ninjutsu, had absolutely no possibility of entering. It was truly impregnable.
Hancock looked at the sneaky Ninjas on the projection and the biological weapons Vegapunk had created, a bored expression on her face. She didn't find watching ants fight to be interesting at all.
However, when she saw Vegapunk sitting on the wide sofa, Hancock's eyes suddenly lit up. She walked over to the sofa, her warm body pressing against Vegapunk's side, while simultaneously giving Mei Terumī a look.
Mei Terumī's body trembled slightly, her face flushing. Hesitantly, she also sat on Vegapunk's other side, and then both of them lean down gently.
Vegapunk, who was focused on the projection, suddenly hissed as a tingling sensation surged from his scalp to his toes.
