****************
Early the next morning.
Surrounded by a group of Konoha Shinobi, Colt and Hinata came to the village gate as Tsunade's guards.
According to Gaara's suggestion, Temari should have come with Colt.
However, Temari felt that she should appear with the Kazekage, so as to conform to protocol.
She chose to return to Sunagakure three days ago.
"Jiraiya, the village is temporarily handed over to you and Shizune. If there's any situation, immediately report to me through Katsuyu," Tsunade instructed worriedly.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama," Shizune replied solemnly.
Jiraiya laughed and patted Shizune on the shoulder, "No problem, I'll just leave everything to Shizune."
Shizune smiled helplessly, and didn't refuse. It was not any different from working under Tsunade.
"That's good. If you dare to mess around, you'll be dead when I come back!" Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, then waved her hand.
"Don't send us off, we're leaving!"
After finishing speaking, Tsunade turned around, and took Colt and Hinata on the road.
Originally, she only planned to bring Colt as an escort, but Colt felt that he hadn't been spending much time with Hinata lately.
So, he also brought Hinata out for sightseeing.
Naturally, Hinata was very happy about this.
When in Konoha, Colt would also spend a lot of time with them.
But after all, Ino and others were still around.
This time, it was their two-person world.
Tsunade: ...
She didn't expect that the number one female ninja in the shinobi world would have a day when she was ignored.
"Colt, where is the location of the Five Kage Summit?" Hinata asked curiously as they walked on the forest path full of flowers and green plants.
"It's a country built on snow-capped mountains, in the Land of Iron," Colt replied, taking Hinata's hand and introducing her to the Land of Iron.
The Land of Iron can be said to be a special country on the continent.
As early as hundreds of years ago, after the shinobi system became popular, the power of the samurai gradually weakened.
The Land of Iron was the last country on the mainland that adhered to samurai-based governance and has always been neutral, not participating in any country's disputes.
Other countries also regard this place as the last pure land. In the past few hundred years, the Land of Iron has never been invaded by foreign enemies.
The first Five Kage Summit was also held in the Land of Iron.
Now the leader of the Land of Iron, Mifune, was also a swordsman master with Kage-level strength.
Relying on his own strength and skills alone, he has reached the height of Kage-level, which was indeed remarkable.
After hearing this, Hinata nodded knowingly, with a curious look in her eyes.
It indeed sounded like an interesting place.
"We're going to the Land of Waves first. If you want to visit the Land of Iron, let's wait until the meeting is over!" Tsunade suddenly interjected.
Colt was a little surprised: "You didn't have this item in your previous plan."
Tsunade blushed: "I've been the Hokage for so long, what's wrong with enjoying things a bit?"
"If I were in the village, I'd tell you, and if Shizune found out, she'd harass me again."
After speaking, she pulled up Hinata's other hand and began to persuade her: "Hinata, think about it, it's a country covered by hot springs, don't you want to go and see it?"
"I have been to the hot springs in the Land of Hot Water, and they are countless times better than those in our Konoha Village."
When Hinata heard the words, her eyes also lit up a little.
Colt sighed.
Now, they had to go even if he didn't want to.
"Sister Tsunade, then let's use the [Flying Thunder God] to go there, it will also save some time."
Tsunade smiled happily: "Good kid, I know I didn't spoil you in vain."
The [Flying Thunder God] was indeed a tool worthy of traveling. With the support of Colt's huge chakra, it took the three of them less than five minutes to arrive at the nearest coordinates to the Land of Hot Water.
In the next section, it took less than two hours for Colt and the others to arrive at the capital of the Land of Hot Water.
Seeing the hot spring signs all over the street and the same number of casinos, Tsunade's eyes were shining.
"Colt, Hinata, you go find a place where we can stay first. I'll go earn some money for us."
After speaking, without waiting for the two of them to react, she ran into a casino in a flash.
The big fat sheep of the shinobi world was back in the arena!
Colt had a headache, "Let's go, Hinata. It seems that sister Tsunade won't be coming out until she wins, which is never."
Hinata asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that Tsunade-sama will lose?"
Colt gave her the rundown on Tsunade's reputation as the legendary sucker in the gambling world.
After listening, Hinata's face was full of shock.
In the huge shinobi world, there was still such a talent, which was really quite an experience.
The two found the most luxurious hot spring hotel on the street, and after opening two rooms, they asked for a private hot spring.
Inside the hot spring pool, a hazy mist rose, blurring their vision.
The slightly hot natural hot spring water made Colt relax and sit comfortably inside.
Tsunade's saying was true; the quality of the hot springs here was countless times better than that of Konoha.
Hinata, on the other hand, was kneeling on the side, massaging him carefully, and every time she touched his skin, her face became even more flushed.
"Is this strength appropriate, Colt?"
"It's perfect! But you don't have to do this, just come join me" Colt said. But she refused.
"No, I like it,"
Hinata, with her Byakugan, was very familiar with the pathways of the human body and has also learned the techniques of [Gentle Fist] and Tsunade's medical ninjutsu.
Her skill and strength were at their peak.
Colt hadn't discovered this skill of hers before and liked it now, so it couldn't be wasted in the future, and he would try more when they returned to the village.
After massaging for a while, Colt felt almost completely relaxed.
He also saw as Hinata entered the hot spring and said with a smirk:
"Now it's my turn to massage you, and I've gotten better at it recently."
Hinata's face turned even redder.
This suggestion was not proper.
Colt was like a big bad wolf, about to do something to the white rabbit.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the hot spring.
"Colt, it's me, open the door quickly!"
Colt had black lines all over his head, but he still opened the door for Tsunade.
Tsunade didn't shy away, she wrapped a towel around herself and ran into the hot spring.
As she ran, Colt was a bit annoyed at her, and looked directly at her, with a glare. Directly at her two swinging peaks- cough, he meant directly at her eyes.
"Sister Tsunade, if you want to enter a hot spring, you can go find one yourself. This is where Hinata and I are."
Tsunade sighed helplessly, looking very frustrated.
"I can't help it, I lost all my money in the casino, and I can't afford to enter a hot spring pool anymore."
Colt's forehead twitched.
This woman was here to disrupt their fun!
