Chapter 241: Could there really be a conspiracy?

As the saying goes.

The tears of a gentle girl are the best medicine to tame a man.

Ever since marrying Senju Xingye, Uzumaki Kushina has fully embodied the image of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Gone was the sharpness she displayed when out on missions.

She devoted her heart and soul entirely to her child and Senju Xingye.

It could be said that Senju Xingye and Niu are her entire life.

Suddenly hearing Kushina crying, Senju Xingye didn't dare to speak.

He ran back to the Senju compound at top speed, and upon returning to his courtyard, he saw Uzumaki Kushina teaching Niu their family's sealing techniques.

"Oh, husband, you're back? Have you finished entertaining the guests?"

Uzumaki Kushina was stunned to see Senju Xingye rushing back in such a frantic state.

I've been played!

Senju Xingye immediately realized he had been played by Senju Tsunade.

But he couldn't say that in front of Uzumaki Kushina.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just missed you."

Senju Xingye stepped forward and pulled Uzumaki Kushina into his arms.

"I want a hug too!"

Seeing this, Niu immediately opened her arms.

"Alright, you get a hug too."

Senju Xingye scooped Niu up as well.

Turning his head, he saw Senju Tsunade standing by the door with her arms crossed, looking as if to say, 'at least you know how to behave.'

Senju Xingye offered an apologetic smile and mouthed, 'it won't happen again.'

Although Senju Tsunade had played him, Senju Xingye now understood her intentions.

After all, he was a father to many children and a husband to many wives.

Staying out all night with so many family members waiting, without even leaving a message, was clearly irresponsible.

Senju Xingye couldn't very well say he had lost track of time.

Such things were easy to avoid; saying it would only be taken as an excuse.

It seems I need to find an attendant to help keep track of trivial matters.

Senju Xingye thought to himself.

…………

Bang!

A sudden, loud noise alerted the people on the street.

They instinctively looked toward the source of the sound and discovered it was a hotel under the Senju Real Estate banner.

They looked up, only to see a figure streak past at extreme speed; they couldn't even make out the person's appearance.

Soon, members of the Anbu and the Police Force stepped forward to say it was just an accident and there was no need to worry.

But to Huangtu, this scene seemed somewhat suspicious.

"If I'm not mistaken, that figure must be the Third Raikage."

"But how could the Third Raikage be sent flying? Is there really a conspiracy in Konoha?"

His brow furrowed, and a sense of unease surfaced in his heart.

Deep down, he was secretly on guard.

If he sensed anything wrong, he would immediately break through and leave.

After all, the streets were full of civilians; he could easily escape by using them as hostages.

Thinking this, Huangtu's unease dissipated quite a bit.

But he only dared to move in crowded areas, fearing he might be ambushed if he appeared in an empty place.

Also witnessing the Third Raikage being sent flying were the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, Yagura Karatachi, and his guard, Mei Terumi.

The two looked up at the flying Third Raikage.

Compared to Huangtu, these two saw more details.

For instance, the Third Raikage's flushed face.

"Lord Mizukage, could the Third Raikage have been poisoned?"

Mei Terumi said with a grave expression.

The Third Raikage's complexion was truly abnormal.

But Yagura Karatachi saw the problem at a glance.

"Don't worry about it, he's just a drunkard."

He waved his hand and quickly lost interest, becoming much more interested in the items being sold on the street.

The Land of Fire is the most prosperous of the five great nations, and Konoha is the most prosperous village among the five great ninja villages.

Whether it was the street snacks or the various trinkets for sale, they were very rare in the Hidden Mist Village.

Yagura Karatachi completely forgot his status, wanting only to take advantage of this rare holiday to look around more.

"Uh, a drunkard?"

Mei Terumi was taken aback.

What does that mean?

Could it be...

The Third Raikage got drunk?

Who could get that monster of a man drunk?

Could it be Senju Xingye? ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
