****************
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!
Capítulo 202: Chapter 202: The Agitated Fourth Raikage

****************
Two days later, Colt, Hinata, and Tsunade, thoroughly refreshed in body and mind, departed from the Land of Hot Springs towards the Land of Iron.
Before leaving, they purchased winter clothing suitable for the colder climate.
The Land of Iron, situated on a snowy plateau, remains covered in ice and snow year-round, with temperatures rivaling those of the Land of Snow.
After a day's journey, the trio finally arrived at the sole city atop the snow-capped mountains. At the entrance, several Iron Country samurais, clad in traditional samurai armor and masks, approached them.
Colt stepped forward, stating, "The Fifth Hokage and her guards are here to participate in the Five Kage Summit." He handed over the specially prepared invitation to one of the samurais.
After confirming their identities, a samurai led them to a spacious, well-lit hall. Upon entering, they found several people already waiting.
Gaara, wearing his Kazekage hat, offered a slight smile and nod to Colt and Tsunade.
Behind him, Temari and Kankuro looked pleased to see them.
Had the occasion been less formal, Kankuro might have called out to his brother-in-law.
To Gaara's left sat an empty chair, and beyond that was Onoki, the Tsuchikage, whose small stature was mostly obscured by the table. His guards, Kurotsuchi and her disciple Akatsuchi stood nearby.
To Onoki's right was the Fourth Raikage, the initiator of this Five Kage Summit.
His guards were Darui, known as the Raikage's right-hand man, and C, a sensory-type ninja.
"Welcome, Fifth Hokage. Please, take your seat," Mifune said cordially.
Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, seated across from the semicircular table, rose to greet Tsunade upon her arrival. Though the Land of Iron maintained neutrality, Mifune was well aware that he couldn't afford to antagonize any of the five hidden villages.
Tsunade smiled and nodded to Mifune, then led Colt and Hinata to the center of the semicircular table.
As Colt observed the others, they too were sizing him up.
Kurotsuchi eyed Colt with bright eyes, thinking to herself that this was what a truly handsome man looked like, unlike her senpai Deidara.
The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly, "You're late, Hokage. Is it appropriate to keep us all waiting?"
His animosity towards Tsunade was evident, partially blaming her for Sasuke's involvement in Killer B's death.
Colt rolled his eyes, and suddenly, without warning, Darui drew his ninja sword and lunged at the Fourth Raikage.
Boom!
At the critical moment, the Fourth Raikage was enveloped in powerful lightning, completely nullifying Darui's attack.
Click!
With one arm, he restrained Darui's sword arm, while his other hand grabbed the ninja sword directly, instantly immobilizing Darui.
"Kamiyo Colt! What is the meaning of this?" the Fourth Raikage glared at Colt.
It was obvious that Darui had been caught in Colt's genjutsu and suddenly attacked him.
From start to finish, C, the other guard, showed no response. His eyes were dull, and his expression confused, also trapped in the illusion.
"When you learn how to address people properly, I'll release your guards from the genjutsu," Colt stated firmly, determined to maintain Tsunade's dignity as her escort.
Onoki looked on with a grave expression.
What a terrifying illusion, he thought, performed without any visible signs.
He wondered if he too might fall victim to it.
At that moment, a charming voice came from outside the door.
"I apologize, it seems I'm the last to arrive?"
At the entrance stood Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, with her perfect curves and alluring demeanor.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, feigning an apology that didn't quite reach her eyes.
Mifune once again welcomed Mei Terumi and her guards.
"Welcome Fifth Mizukage, please take your seat,"
She nodded at him with a smile.
"Also, there's no need for apologies, Mizukage. After all, we're still nearly an hour ahead of the agreed time," Mifune assured her.
"Besides, the Land of Water is quite far, so arriving on time is no small feat," Gaara added quietly, glancing at the Raikage.
Onoki nodded with a smile, "The Kazekage is correct. You've arrived at just the right time."
Although both were speaking in Mei's defense, it was the Raikage who appeared the most uncomfortable.
He had just criticized Tsunade for being late, and now there were two latecomers, including a Mizukage he didn't recognize.
The Fourth Raikage's face darkened, his fists clenching and unclenching.
Finally, the lightning chakra dissipated from his body.
A man must know when to yield, he reasoned, especially when dealing with women.
"Hokage, I was hasty earlier and didn't read the time well, can you have your guard remove the Genjutsu?" the Raikage conceded, realizing that arrogance would get him nowhere.
Tsunade, who had remained silent until now, smiled lightly and gestured to Colt.
Only then did Colt deactivate his [Sharingan], and Darui and C awoke as if from a dream.
Both looked at him angrily, especially Darui, who, as a guard, had attacked his own Kage.
He felt like dying of shame.
After this brief commotion, the Five Kage Summit officially began.
As the initiator of this gathering, the Fourth Raikage spoke first.
Boom!
He slammed his fist on the table, leaving a deep crater, and stood up aggressively.
"I called this meeting for one purpose: to hold you all accountable for the deaths of Killer B and Yugito!" The mention of his younger brother only fueled the Raikage's anger.
"I've investigated thoroughly. This so-called Akatsuki organization – the missing-nin and traitors within it all come from your hidden villages," he accused.
"Konoha, Suna, Iwa, even you, Kiri! As a Kage, don't you think you should reflect on why there are so many powerful missing-nins from your villages?"
As his words hung in the air, the expressions of the other four Kage darkened.
What the Raikage said was true; the core of the Akatsuki was indeed composed of shinobi from their villages.
Such formidable fighting power, not only unusable by their villages but now a threat, was undoubtedly a slap in the face to their leadership.
Gaara interlaced his fingers, resting his chin on them.
"Fourth Raikage, let's not be hasty. The Akatsuki is now a threat to the entire shinobi world, and we're here to discuss a solution."
"As a former jinchūriki, I have experienced being captured by the Akatsuki firsthand," Gaara continued without shame.
"If it weren't for Kamiyo Colt of Konoha saving me, I might not be sitting here discussing this with you today."
"The most pressing matter now is not assigning blame, but how to deal with the Akatsuki and reclaim our villages' tailed beasts."
