After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"The Taketori clan?"

The first thing that appeared in Yusuke's mind was the regrettable figure of Kaguya Kimimaro.

His life was full of tragedy and he was indeed a pitiful character.

"Are you familiar with them?"

Yusuke looked at Mei Terumi with a questioning look in his eyes.

Mei Terumi nodded vigorously, then stopped and waited for Yusuke's response.

"go!"

Yusuke said without hesitation.

The Bamboo Cutter clan is completely different from other ninjas.

It seems that the only theme of their lives is fighting. They are either in a fierce battle or on their way to a battle.

Such a strong warlike character naturally made them ostracized and feared by everyone in the village.

After the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, took over, he had never figured out how to properly deal with this group of people.

If he arranged them for use, they would be the extremely sharp swords in his hands, which could cut the enemy mercilessly;

But if it is not used properly and cannot be used to effectively restrain them, then this sword may turn against oneself.

Since the establishment of the Hidden Mist Village, the Taketori clan's territory has always been located on the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village.

However, they don't care about it.

After all, they naturally prefer an unfettered lifestyle.

Fierce fights often break out within the family for various reasons.

Afterwards, Mei Terumi quickly changed her route, pulling Yusuke tightly and walking quickly in another direction.

All we saw along the way was desolate scenery, overgrown weeds, scattered rocks, and messy scenes, with a strong atmosphere of battle everywhere.

Before long, a group of people surrounded them.

Seeing their exposed bones, there was no need to guess who they were.

"Who are you two? Why did you come to our Bamboo Clan?"

The leader had a bloodthirsty look on his face, with traces of blood still wet on the bones of his hands. The rest of the people had cold and ruthless expressions on their faces, and they also exuded a chilling murderous aura.

Without hesitation, Mei Terumi immediately dropped her disguise and shouted, "I am the former Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village, Mei Terumi!"

"Terumi Mei?"

They had all heard of the name and were deeply impressed.

In the rumors they heard, Terumi Mei, a genius in the Hidden Mist Village, was "sold" out because the Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, was afraid of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

"What about the person next to you?"

Although they are keen on fighting, they are not stupid. They naturally know that they should first find out who the visitor is before deciding whether to take action.

Just this look makes it clear that this is a difficult person to deal with.

After all, they didn't take Mei Terumi seriously at all. Even if it meant another war with Konoha, their relationship with the Hidden Mist Village had already fallen apart.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yusuke Watanabe. Do you know me?"

After his name was called, Yusuke stopped hiding and immediately took off the disguise on his face.

According to his own style of doing things, he would not bother to hide his head and show his tail.

"Are you the Fourth Hokage of Konoha? What are you doing here in the Taketori Clan?"

He recognized Yusuke immediately, even though he had never seen him before, but he had seen his photo countless times.

Then he took the lead in collecting the bones and put away his hostility towards them.

They are brave enough to challenge the strong, but also have great respect for them.

. "We want to meet the chief or elder of the Bamboo Clan."

Mei Terumi said bluntly, and the man looked at Yusuke with some embarrassment, "I can only pass on the message. As for whether the clan leader is willing to see you, we can't decide."

"It's okay, go ahead. I wonder if we can go into your tribe's land and wait?"

Yusuke didn't care, but still made a small request.

"It doesn't seem possible, but we will prepare some tea for you two."

As soon as he finished speaking, he called the two of them first and quickly went to inform the clan leader, then turned to look at Yusuke and the other two, "Please follow me."

"Okay, but the rumors are wrong. You, the Taketori clan, are not as simple-minded and strong-limbed ninjas as they say."

Yusuke sighed, and Terumi Mei looked at him speechlessly. How could this guy still speak out his true feelings?

However, this person did not care. They had long been immune to the negative comments about their clan.

Afterwards, the group came to a simple hut with a tall tower next to it. Four ninjas stood on it, each facing in one direction, constantly monitoring the movements around them.

"It seems like something really big happened in the Hidden Mist Village."

Yusuke lowered his voice and whispered to Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi also nodded solemnly. She had been here several times before, but had never felt such a tense and depressing atmosphere.

"Fourth Hokage, this is the rest area for clan patrol officers. Please wait here for a moment."

The leader immediately and swiftly arranged some snacks and refreshments, "I wonder if the Fourth Hokage can eat this."

"Hahaha......"

Yusuke couldn't help but burst into laughter. "To be honest, I was lurking in the Land of Water for two years, and during that time I tasted all your delicacies. Apart from Konoha and Kumogakure, the food here is really good."

Yusuke was very unassuming, holding a teacup in one hand and a snack in the other, and eating casually and naturally, just like them.

In the eyes of the Bamboo Cutter clan, Yusuke was not being polite on purpose.

This also relaxed their tense nerves a little. They really couldn't stand those who spoke in a roundabout way and with ulterior motives. Instead, they liked to get along with people who were generous, direct, and clear about right and wrong.

This is also related to their relatively simple minds. In their words, instead of spending time thinking about those twists and turns, it is better to spend two more minutes fighting.

"You actually laughed?"

Mei Terumi was surprised. She had been here several times, but this was the first time she saw the people of the Bamboo Cutter clan laugh. Could they actually laugh?

"But, I still want to ask you a question."

Yusuke took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to everyone one by one, regardless of whether they had the habit of smoking or not.

"Is there anything unusual in Kirigakure recently? Don't get me wrong, it's because Ming is my wife, and Kirigakure is her home.

But recently, we haven't received any response to her letters, and even the news of her coming back to visit her family has been lost, so we came together to see her."

"It is better to wait until the clan leader agrees to meet you, and then he will tell you personally about it to the Fourth Hokage."

However, he felt in his heart that they would most likely agree to meet with the Fourth Hokage.

Sure enough, the news came back soon.
