...

After a long journey through the new commercial district, primarily constructed under Gojo Kaigetsu's supervision, the Kirigakure delegation finally arrived in the relatively older part of Konoha.

The weight on their shoulders finally lifted. There were still familiar sights; the hope of catching up to Konoha wasn't entirely lost.

At the end of the road stood the ancient and imposing Hokage Tower.

As the symbol of Konoha's highest administrative authority loomed before him, Gonbee felt the pressure mounting. He was here to secure the best possible outcome for Kirigakure.

Even in an alliance, a Kirigakure ninja mustn't lose their pride.

However, the atmosphere... felt somewhat off.

Gonbee keenly sensed an inexplicable air of hostility surrounding the Hokage Tower. The security ninjas stationed outside glared with animosity.

Especially the middle-aged ninja with the Uchiha fan symbol on his clothing... What was with those eyes? Meeting his gaze felt like his very soul was screaming under immense pressure.

'Such a scary presence.'

Gonbee shivered involuntarily, instinctively averting his gaze. He couldn't help but admire the Mizukage's wisdom. Allying with such a Konoha was undoubtedly the right choice.

He wondered who in his village could possibly rival the imposing aura of that Uchiha ninja.

A short while later, the Kirigakure delegation finally reached the entrance of Konoha's reception hall for foreign dignitaries.

Knock knock

"Enter!"

The man's voice was somewhat flippant, not sounding like someone of high standing.

Mei Terumi was the second to enter.

She saw a blond man in ceremonial robes seated at the head of the table. This... must be Konoha's Fourth Hokage.

To his left sat a white-haired man with a black blindfold covering his eyes. A playful smirk graced his lips as he greeted her with a smile.

'This man... so young.'

'His chakra fluctuations aren't strong, probably around Chunin level, like me. At his age, to be present at such an important occasion...'

'His identity is clear. It's Gojo Kaigetsu, the one mentioned in *Iki II*!'

As for the two individuals on the Hokage's right... they resembled Kirigakure's council of elders, looking like scheming bureaucrats. Mei chose to ignore them.

If she had to gain something from this trip to Konoha, Mei believed the most likely source would be Gojo Kaigetsu.

While she lacked concrete evidence, everything she had seen in the new commercial district, and Konoha's current development, seemed likely orchestrated by Gojo Kaigetsu.

This guy... his position within the village was similar to hers; a reformist!

Setting aside village affiliations and differing stances, Gojo Kaigetsu was her "senior" on the path of progress!

Mei's heart burned with anticipation. Before leaving Konoha, she had to learn from Gojo Kaigetsu, absorbing his experience in shaping Konoha.

Seated in two rows, both parties were now fully assembled.
