"Oh, thank you for the intelligence you've brought, dear guest. Rest assured, our Hidden Mist Village values such matters greatly, and the mission is our raison d'être."
Hozuki Gengetsu had specially hosted a banquet for Tao Yu.
The banquet was held in the open air, with lanterns strung up and long tables laden with delicacies.
There was an abundance of fine wine, fine food, and beautiful people.
It all brought a lively atmosphere to the entire scene.
Attending the banquet were the high-ranking members of the Hidden Mist Village: Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage; Gengetsu, the Sage; Terumi Mei; the Three-Tails Jinchuriki Kankitsu Yagura; and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata.
There had been intense conflict between Utakata and Yagura when Yagura was being controlled, and Utakata even defected for a time. But after the illusion technique was lifted and Hozuki Gengetsu returned, the important Jinchuriki who roamed the Land of Water was brought back.
