After some time, kuraiya and terumi arrived in konoha, instead of going straight back to his home, kuraiya decided to just go for a drink.
"Where are we going exactly and are you seriously trying give us gazes, put the suicase away" terumi let out her frustration.
Kuraiya stopped walking and turned around with confusion "ah, your right, here put it in a sealing scroll" kuraiya put the suicase down and terumi put it away.
"You still haven't answered my question" "for a drink, I'm in a mood for one" kuraiya waved his hand and terumi let out a low huff before she continued to follow behind him.
Kuraiya felt a little strange and he thought while standing in front of bar [i think I've been tainted with Tsunade's thinking, I won't become a heavy drinker in the future will I.] Just as he thought this.
"Ahem" when he heard a cough he turned his gaze to her side and to his surprise he saw hiashi also standing with a perplexed expression.
[Ah, he's here.] Both hiashi and kuraiya were just staring at each other, Terumi had enough of the idleness and walked over, "hurry it up, I've come with you, so..."
"Who are you" hiashi butted in, his gaze stayed on kuraiya, but he was talking to terumi.
She froze for a moment before responding "I'm the mizu... Terumi mei" [I almost let it slip just now, that was close.]
Hiashi finally turned away from kuraiya's gaze and turned to face terumi [why did she stop at mizu, wait is she the mizukage.] He felt a little strange and he kept switching between the two standing before him.
[Forget it, I've already gotten news from Hinata, that he's already completely under her thumb, although she said it strangely, I trust her judgement.] "Are you going for a drink" kuraiya nodded and walked inside the tavern.
Terumi nodded at hiashi as well and followed behind, hiashi's mouth twitched seeing this and he murmured to himself "he hasn't tamed the mizukage has he" he stood still for a moment before he decided to stay outside, while activating his byukagan.
"Hmph, if he has, I must know, such a person is of a big title afterall".
.
Inside the tavern.
.
"Boss, bring me some sake and beer" kuraiya ignored the gazes towards him and chose to take a seat in the back of the tavern.
Terumi sat next to him before speaking in a low voice "this place is quite small" kuraiya raised his eyebrow and responded with the same tone "this place was made for influential people, or you can say clan heads".
"That explains their gazes towards us" "who cares about that, let's drink, we'll go straight to our home later" kuraiya spoke to terumi, with an nonchalant tone.
When the drinks came, kuraiya was constantly staring at the door, with slight annoyance.
[When will you come here, I've been waiting for a while now.] Kuraiya's face was losing its patience and he finally stood up.
"Let's go, no need to hang out here anymore" terumi listening stood up with haste and started jogging up to his side "hey, slow down".
Kuraiya and terumi after walking away from the tavern and reaching a desolate area, this made terumi tense up, she started surveying the area while muttering to herself "such killing intent".
Kuraiya smiled and he spoke up "come out!" terumi pulled out a kunai and put her back onto kuraiya's "why didn't you just say others were tailing us" her voice was tinted with displeasure.
"Because you'd scare them away, if you showed some vigilance" "hmph, I'll kill them so leave em to me" terumi licked her lips with slight eagerness.
Kuraiya didn't say anything and the people hiding in the shadows, came out of nowhere "you're suspected of being a spy, obediently surrender and hand yourselves over".
Terumi scoffed and spoke "why don't you come closer, so I can give a kiss" kuraiya turned around with a speechless expression.
[You have a man now, how can you say such things.] Terumi continued her smile, making the visitor's feel a little annoyed, "kill them, we'll hand over their bodies, to our Lord" "yes!".
Terumi waved her hand swiftly and she blew a kiss towards the group, the person that was close to terumi felt something was off and tried to evade.
But he was unlucky, "your to late dear" "aghhh!" The person that was trying to dodge was being burnt slowly, making the other's who was with the dying guy frown.
"Too much noise" terumi heard kuraiya speak, and soon after a lot of grunting could be heard.
"Hey, I said leave them to me"terumi let out her disatifaction, kuraiya however bundled the group together that was unconscious.
"I'd rather not bring other people into this though" terumi walked over and stared angrily at the people on the ground.
"Who are they" kuraiya shrugged then spoke "they're root, only they would have the audacity to do such things openly" kuraiya with a disgusted face, pulled out each of their tongues and sighed "they all seem to have the curse seal on their tongues, can you kill them".
Terumi who heard kuraiya say that, felt annoyed again, "fine" she released her boil release and the two were standing there for a while "how annoying".
Kuraiya nodded before turning his attention elsewhere "how long is left, other's are coming over".
"Almost there, just a little more and they'll be turned to dust" terumi blew another kiss and the bodies completely disappeared.
Kuraiya wrapped his arm around terumi's waist and flew off, after she finished up with the cleaning.
.
A few minutes later.
.
Kuraiya landed outside his home, terumi jumped out of his arm and retorted exasperatedly "let me know when you do that next time, are you trying to scare me to death".
Kuraiya however was staring in front of him, why cause tsunade was standing there with her arms crossed.
"Didn't I say already, that you must let me know, before you go and get another wom..." Kuraiya butted in and walked over "it seems danzo is already making his move, tell me his root base location's".
"What? Wait.. don't try and get out of thi..." Tsunade paused when she saw his serious expression, she huffed her chest and gritted her teeth.
"This isn't over, we'll speak about this later" she turned to terumi before walking inside.
Terumi felt as if she was being looked down on and almost bursted out her chakra for a fight but stopped when she saw kuraiya walk behind tsunade.
"Hmph" she too followed behind.
.
Half an hour later.
.
"So, these are the locations, are you sure he doesn't hide in another location" "I'm sure, stop questioning my intelligence" tsunade retorted back at kuraiya.
Kuraiya stood up and spoke "I'll be back, it'll take a couple of minutes, you two catch up in the meantime".
"Hey wait... Damnit" tsunade clenched her fists, before she turned to terumi, "so you're the mizukage, did you seduce my husband with those" she stared at terumi's chest with a hint of mockery.
"You.. are you asking for a beating, you actually dare to criticize my body" terumi was about to fight tsunade until the door opened.
"Pa" terumi saw a little girl float towards her with a scrutinizing gaze [huh? Do babies have such intelligence.] Terumi's face showed confusion [why does it feel like she's assessing me.]
Tsunade smiled and crossed her arms "she learns well" the atmosphere in the room became strange.
It wasn't long until it was broken by a rush of footsteps "finally found you, huh?" Tsunade turned to face the newcomer, "Hinata, you need to keep your eyes open, you can't keep letting this little brat roam around".
"It isn't my fault, I turn away for a second and she disappears and who is this exactly, don't tell me he went out, I made sure to tire him out though" tsunade scoffed and retorted with annoyance.
"Hmph, that fiend snuck out, when you went asleep, he took advantage of it and found another victim" terumi's mouth twitched, "you think I'm a victim".
"Aren't you" after tsunade uttered out these words, both of hinata and tsunade stared intently at terumi.
Just as the three were in a deadlock "pa" they all turned to face the little Gine who pointed towards the door.
Soon after they saw kuraiya walk inside with a frown, he looked up "I think, danzo may still be alive, hiding in another place, I checked the location's before blowing them up, and he wasn't inside any".
He scratched his head before his gaze came to hinata's "why are you staring at me like that" tsunade smiled and patted her shoulder, then she whispered "you must teach him a lesson".
Hinata nodded and walked over to kuraiya, "I need to have a word with you in private" kuraiya took a step back "we can spea..".
Hinata was already in front of him and dragged him away.
Terumi seeing this was a little shook "I can see why he was so excited before" "what was that" tsunade asked in a fierce tone to which terumi replied "nothing".
.
Meanwhile with danzo.
.
In a hidden root base, "what!... All the bases in konoha were destroyed... Impossible!" Danzo roared angrily at his root operative.
"It's the truth, lord danzo" "damnit!" He smashed the things on his table with a cane he uses often.
"Aghhh! All my precious material's, all gone.. who is it!... Don't let me find out who you are!" Danzo's face was redder than a tomato and it showed vein's from his sheer rage.
