"I told you I'm not the Mizukage anymore! Why are you running so fast?!"
Hozuki's loud yelling sounded like a ghost, filling the house inside and out in an instant.
"To actually barge in so carelessly, let this old one stop him!"
Immediately afterward, a voice that sounded old but still full of energy rang out.
"I said I didn't break your fishing rod on purpose!! Why are you chasing after me, you weird old woman!"
"How can your Sunagakure Village have such energetic old women?!"
Hozuki rushed into the room almost instantly.
Hatake was already standing up from beside the window, curiously tilting his head to look at the chaos outside the door.
The Sunagakure Village ninja who had been talking to Hatake in a flustered manner at the door was immediately pushed aside by Hozuki .
"Master, save me!"
Hozuki, as if seeing a relative, jumped high and landed next to Hatake, grabbing his shoulder and hiding behind him.
"Hmm...?"
Hozuki's appearance here was a complete surprise. Hatake hadn't even told Hozuki that he was in the Land of Wind.
And what's this about not being the Mizukage anymore? Did this kid finally couldn't take the position and quit?
"Master...?"
Chiyo stood at the door, thoughtfully looking at Hatake and Hozuki behind him.
As a member of the council who was currently acting as a stand-in for the Kazekage, she naturally recognized Gaara's teacher.
When Hatake came here before, he had greeted them.
Of course, when he greeted them, Chiyo had hesitated because of his last name.
But Konoha's White Fang was such a big name, and Hatake was just an ordinary person without any chakra flow.
And his personality was completely different.
Although Chiyo felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, she didn't investigate Hatake's identity further.
To be honest, because Hatake didn't have any chakra and wasn't a Konoha ninja, and even had a personality that she got along with surprisingly well.
So Chiyo had a pretty good impression of Hatake.
She only occasionally made things difficult or bullied Yamato.
"Granny Chiyo, what are you doing here?"
Gaara's voice suddenly rang out from the side.
Gaara was the son of the previous Kazekage, and also a One-Tail Jinchuriki. Their current selection for Kazekage was based on being able to beat Gaara.
But there were too few people who could beat Gaara, so some members of the council had secretly started to plan for Gaara to become the Kazekage.
Gaara didn't have any problems with strength, and Kirigakure also had a precedent of a Jinchuriki becoming a Shadow.
Although it wasn't a good result, it still proved that being a Jinchuriki wasn't a limitation to becoming a Shadow.
Even though only a small number of people currently supported Gaara, there were still some.
"The Mizukage broke into the village and teamed up with a Konoha person, and now Granny Chiyo is going to catch them all in one go and take them away."
Hatake stepped aside from Hozuki, revealing Yamato and Hozuki.
He had an expression of someone who loved to watch drama and was explaining the current situation to Gaara.
"That's right, that's how it is, and now this old one will punish the two of them."
Justice has arrived.
Is this a mental hospital?
Gaara and the ninja next to him exchanged a look. They had already had trouble dealing with someone like Chiyo who had a lot of experience, age, and ability.
Now there was also Hatake causing trouble on the side. They couldn't beat them in a fight, and they couldn't win an argument.
Gaara couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Chiyo was quickly pulled away by the other Sand Village ninjas. The Sunagakure Village ninjas were actually looking for her.
After all, she had originally run away to fish by the village because she didn't want to deal with the affairs of the acting Kazekage.
But who knew that she would fish up a living person with a Kirigakure forehead protector. Chiyo immediately treated him as a dangerous spy and prepared to destroy him on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Hozuki was the Mizukage no matter what, and the two fought while moving, making their way here.
As they got closer to the inner part of the village, ninjas who had been to the Chunin Exams started to appear.
Between a middle-aged person and an old person, Hozuki, as the youngest Mizukage, was naturally very eye-catching, and most people recognized him because of this.
This led to someone finding Hatake, followed by Hozuki and Chiyo.
"... There are too many things to say, I don't know where to start."
Why did you come in from the water?!
And get fished up, even if you're the Mizukage, you're not a fish Shadow, right?!
Yamato was silent for a moment, looking at Hozuki's gestures and words, he was speechless for a while.
Gaara was listening to Hozuki with great interest.
Even though he was the Mizukage, he seemed completely different from his Shadow father.
"Well~ as long as you didn't get killed, otherwise, the Shadow of a village dies on the day he quits to play with his teacher, it sounds too embarrassing."
Hatake wasn't surprised that Hozuki wasn't the Mizukage anymore. This kid had repeatedly expressed his desire not to be a worker drone.
If the next Mizukage found a good candidate, he would definitely quit directly.
But Kirigakure hadn't produced any suitable people, and Hatake had long let Kirigakure play on its own.
Anyway, Shisui and Juzo are on our side, so the actual power won't be lost.
Now they should have found a suitable person.
Hatake shrugged indifferently.
"I just wanted to get here faster, Teacher, haven't you received Wangyue's crow yet!"
Hozuki felt that what he did wasn't a problem.
His trip was a surprise! He skipped the handover ceremony and ran away, seeing Hatake before Shisui's crow arrived.
"Can the Mizukage say they don't want to do it and just quit...?"
Gaara asked curiously.
Although Gaara didn't have much affection for his old man, just like during the Chunin Exams when Orochimaru could disguise himself as the Kazekage and control an entire village.
Naruto wanted to become Hokage to prove himself.
No matter what, the Shadow should be a very important person, but Hozuki's attitude seemed very casual.
"No, but I've wanted to go out and play for a long time."
"The current Water Shadow is Terumi Mei, she's much more suitable than me! Being a kage is too...".
Hatake covered Hozuki 's mouth.
If he let Hozuki complain to Gaara, Gaara would probably have a complete change of heart and never want to be a Shadow in his life.
"Kids can't hear this."
"Villages are different, so what he says won't work for you~".
Gaara was stunned for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.
