With the girls dires we eventually arrived at a vilge called Kokonami that ce that had the bloodliance members stationed as it held the nonbat members of some of the s. Craftsmen, ordinary folk and those unfit for bat resided here but that didn't mean that it was ill protected but the exact opposite in fact. I sensed han thirty chakra signatures at the jonin level like Shizunes and many more at the in enin levels. As roached four of those jonin level chakras surrounded us warily.-

  "You are approag a vilge uhe prote of the hidden mist vilge, state your identity and purpose here!" one of the shinobi barked out.

  I desummoned Ren which let the shinobi rex a bit a the girl expiuation. One of the shinobi rushed bato the vilge to get someone who could verify the girls identity while we were told to wait. Still at least they weren't ag as hostile anymore and had put away their ons. It didn't take more than a few minutes for the ninja who left to return with an old man who asked the girl a bunch of questions before smiling and giving the all clear.-

  As it turned out it was her grandfather who was iwilight years of his life and unfit for bat as a result. That wasn't to say that he wasn't powerful as to be blunt the man reminded me of the Hokage almost in terms of the danger I felt from him. Ohat was taken care of we were escorted into the vilge and given lodging until someone from the resistance leadership could e to discuss things in an official capacity.-

  That meant over the few days we mostly treated the on injuries or aches and pains of the vilgers or waited patiently. When not helping as a medic I myself spent the rest of my time honing my taijutsu he vilge with the Jonins who were willing to help out of boredom. My self created style was still full of fws that o be worked out per form and I had only removed them from the first four forms to date. That was the scorpion, cat er, wolf and snake forms that had been hoo an acceptable level.-

  The Bear, cricket and turtle forms were still very fwed and I hadn't even bothered trying to copy the sheep si had a simir movement style to my wolfdog. The only real difference was that it was more evasive with it's movement pared to the wolfdog that redatory. The Jonin of the vilge made excellent sparring partners as once I proved I could take the hits they fully exploited my taijutsu forms in our spars. For a normal person those hits would be dangerous but my skin, flesh and bones were so dehat i shrugged them off easily.-

  That alone gave me quite the reputation amongst the shinobi of the vilge as an iron body. Obviously i held ba terms of speed and power during the spars but my durability wasn't something I could really hide when I took o no damage from any physical hits I took. Funnily enough most people in the vilge seemed to think I had some sort of kekkai genkai which made them more friendly than before they got that misuanding. It wasn't surprising sihey were being hunted for having that exact thing by the Mizukage fa of the hidden mist.-

  My sensei, Shizune and I didn't make any moves to correct this misuanding as it clearly helped us politically here and so we just didn't say whether or not it was actually true. The person who was sent to discuss with us was a rather poor choi my opinion, Ao the Byakugan killer. Ao was the only ninja i memory to successfully mao kill a member of the Hyuga main d steal the prized dojutsu from his sin foe. Sending him to discuss the details with us was little more than a power move from the resistance as it was a subtle insult.-

  "Seems Konoha is doio send it's jinchuriki out of the vilge so easily." he said as he sed us with his byakugan.

  "You are mistaken, Kenzo here merely possesses a rge amount of chakra naturally much like Raikage." Tsunade said calmly.

  Ao frowned but didn't argue about it and moved on t to iate the cooperation that Konoha would be to the bloodliance fa. I shot down any attempt made at political marriage between me and them which he brought up more than o was easy enough to see that he was trying to bolster the hidden mists future with the attempt because while I may be loyal to Konoha there was no telling what any children I may have would hold loyalty to if a political marriage went through.-

  Before anyone says something about me being eleven the way this world worked was that children such as myself would be paired up politically in these situations and only actually be wed wheurned sixteen. It was a cultural thing as even the first Hokage met his wife Mito in this way though they were thirteen and fifteen at the time.-

  Ao even told me that it wasn't up to me at one point which made the following statement from my sensei saying the exact opposite rather funny. Still I had to admit that the man was a skilled iator as even with that taken off the table he simply asked for more resources in exge as a "show of siy" which made me wonder if he even wanted me as a bargaining chip to begin with. The rough draft of an agreement was finished after about a day of iation and we promptly left the vilge.-

  I was gd to be leaving too as I could feel gazes ohe eime i was in the vilge regardless of whether I was inside or outside. I couldly just and some bugs to attack those watg us either sihat would not be good for a political mission like this. Ao was the worst though as even when he was talking with my sensei I could feel him stantly sih that byakugan as if trying to memorize my chakra signature, which robably what he was doing now that I think about it.-

  Annoyingly he kept staring at us until we were far far away a his sense. Even then I could feel some shinobi following us from a distand vinced my seo speed up to lose them. It might have just been caution from them but it was annoying in my opinion and i wao be doh it, needless to say I wasn't a fan of shinobi politibsp;

  'Naruto is going to be miserable if he every actually bees Hokage.' I thought with a smirk as we ran.
