"Of course, since you have time, I'll trouble you. We've been in the Hidden Cloud Village recently."
Asahi's face wore a smile as he once again extended his hand, gently patting Yugito's head. This time, Yugito didn't resist.
Satisfied with the response, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Nevertheless, even so, Yugito's mouth still carried a hint of stubbornness as she said, "No need to be polite. We, from the Hidden Cloud Village, are always hospitable."
"In that case, see you tomorrow. I'll be waiting here in the morning."
Saying this, Asahi waved to Yugito.
"Sure, see you tomorrow."
Yugito waved back, then left with brisk steps.
"Master, are you trying to take Yugito as your disciple?"
Watching Yugito's gradually disappearing figure, Shisui lifted his head and asked Asahi.
Looking at Shisui, who seemed excited, Asahi wondered how these two youngsters had grown so close in just one meal.
"Yes, but her identity is a bit troublesome."
Asahi nodded, and in his contemplative gaze, it was unclear what he was thinking. 'A Jinchuriki, huh?'
Shisui thought thoughtfully. In his worldview, he already understood the significance of a Jinchuriki for a village.
The trio didn't stay at an inn.
Under the arrangements of the Third Raikage, they stayed in a guesthouse specially designated for hosting foreign envoys in the Hidden Cloud Village.
As night fell, Asahi and the others entered their respective states of meditation. In the two special rooms in the Hidden Cloud Village, lights still shone.
One was Yugito's home, the Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails. At this moment, Yugito was chatting idly with Matatabi in her mental space.
Unlike other Jinchuriki, Yugito didn't reject the Tailed Beast. In her many years of loneliness, only Matatabi accompanied her.
So, she treated Matatabi quite amiably. Perhaps, this was also the reason why Yugito would gain Matatabi's recognition in the future.
Although on ordinary days, Matatabi didn't pay much attention to her. According to Yugito's expectations, today might have been another day of talking to Matatabi alone.
However, because of Asahi's extraordinary presence, Matatabi abandoned its past aloofness and engaged in Yugito's conversation.
"Matatabi, what kind of person do you think Uncle Asahi is? He's not afraid of us, huh."
Seated in her mental space, hands supporting her chin, Yugito looked towards Matatabi with a gleam in her eyes, hoping to get some answers.
As Yugito spoke, Matatabi, lying on the ground, suddenly opened its tightly shut eyes.
"I cannot see through that man."
A cold and mature voice echoed from Matatabi's mouth, leaving Yugito momentarily stunned.
"Huh, how did you hear me so quickly this time?"
Initially, she hadn't expected Matatabi to hear her words. After all, based on past situations, Matatabi should be immersed in sleep at this time.
It would only wake up after she spoke a lot.
Little did she know that the previous situations were just because Matatabi couldn't be bothered to deal with this human nuisance.
"There are many secrets about that man, and he is strong. I cannot see through him. However, there is no malice in him."
Ignoring Yugito's surprise, Matatabi spoke indifferently. Yugito didn't mind Matatabi's attitude; as long as it talked to her, that was already good enough.
"Really? Even you, Matatabi, can't see through Uncle Asahi? But Uncle Asahi is kind. He's so different from the folks in the Hidden Cloud."
Yugito said in astonishment, revealing a rare girlish infatuation on her face.
It was only in front of Matatabi, the Tailed Beast that had accompanied her since she could remember, that Yugito would reveal this girlish side.
Although Matatabi used to scare her when she was young, who else had been with her all these years?
Matatabi glanced at Yugito and said, "Indeed, this person is mysterious, but he's not bad. He has no malice. You can get to know him better."
Although Matatabi's voice was flat, as if devoid of emotions, the fleeting compassion in its eyes and the unintentional concern in its words exposed that it wasn't as heartless as it seemed.
Otherwise, how could Yugito, at such a young age, not be influenced by its chakra? After all, despite being a Tailed Beast, it wasn't a completely heartless creature.
However, perhaps it hadn't noticed these changes. After all, it had been a gradual change over many years.
Or maybe it had noticed. But, like Yugito, it was unwilling to admit it.
"Matatabi, if you think so, then I'll be their guide for the next few days."
Yugito's eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked forward to the coming days.
Although she wouldn't admit it verbally, she liked the atmosphere of today—a place where no one feared her, having friends, and occasional concern from Uncle Asahi.
"All right, that's settled. I need to rest; tomorrow, I'll be a guide for Uncle Asahi and the others. Goodnight, Matatabi."
With these words, Yugito expressed her excitement.
With a mere thought, she exited her mental space, turned off the lights, and went to sleep, anticipating another beautiful day ahead.
Watching Yugito disappear, Matatabi's mouth involuntarily curved into a smile.
It then shook its head and closed its eyes, lying on the ground as if it were asleep.
At the same time, the Raikage's office was brightly lit. The Third Raikage sat at his desk, silently reviewing the intelligence in his hands.
In just half a day, the formidable execution capabilities of the Hidden Cloud Village were evident.
The orders issued by the Third Raikage in the afternoon had results on his desk by the evening.
Although the collected information was superficial, and deeper intelligence about Asahi and his group was not obtained, it was sufficient.
"Asahi Ogami?"
The Third Raikage muttered to himself. He had heard this name from Sakumo in the afternoon.
Still, it left him perplexed—Ogami was an unfamiliar Clan, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
With a Clansmen as powerful as Byakko, how could it be an unknown entity?
Moreover, according to the information, Asahi was no ordinary person.
Putting aside others, the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Konoha was his disciple raised many questions.
Was Konoha naive? It was impossible. Yet, even under these circumstances, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki remained Asahi's disciple.
What was Asahi's true identity, or rather, what kind of strength did he possess to make Konoha put even the Nine-Tails under his command?
