*****************************************************************************

The moment Rinjin stepped into the office, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

What kind of coincidence was this? We were just discussing how to deal with this guy, and here he comes knocking on our door?!

None of them were fools. On the contrary, being direct disciples of the Second Hokage meant they were all exceptionally sharp.

For a moment, the entire Hokage's office fell into an eerie silence, suspicion swirling in everyone's minds.

Rinjin, however, seemed completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere. With a bright smile on his face, he strode confidently to the desk, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Tobirama, I've finished writing the letter to Lord Hanzō. Could I trouble you to deliver it for me?"

As he spoke, Rinjin scratched his head sheepishly and added, "I'm really sorry for always bothering you."

Tobirama Senju fixed his gaze on Rinjin's eyes, reached out to take the envelope, and casually asked, "May I read it?"

Wow, the Second Hokage is actually quite polite!

Rinjin's lips curled into a smirk as he nodded repeatedly. "Of course. I didn't seal it precisely so you could review it."

Seeing Rinjin's cooperative attitude, Tobirama gave a slight nod and opened the letter to read.

In the letter, Rinjin, adopting a tone as if he had no idea who Amagawa was, pitifully poured out his grievances to Hanzō of the Salamander.

The beginning detailed how he was isolated and lacked resources to gather intelligence;

He asked Hanzō for manpower.

Then, it jumped to how he had no operational funds and hadn't had a proper meal in days.

He asked Hanzō for money.

The letter was mostly a litany of complaints;

The remaining portion consisted of various creative ways to ask for money.

In summary, the letter could be boiled down to one word: Poor!

Without money, nothing could get done.

Tobirama couldn't help but find it amusing.

On the frontlines, Hanzō was fighting tooth and nail against Sunagakure, while this kid was dragging him down in every possible way.

If Hanzō ever found out that the task force he had sent out earlier had been sold off by Rinjin for a mere 430,000 ryō, he'd probably spit up three liters of blood in rage!

Feigning a calm demeanor, Tobirama handed the letter to the nearby Anbu operative.

"From now on, if there are any letters, just hand them directly to Dog."

Rinjin nodded with a grin. Having completed his task, he didn't leave but instead stood quietly in front of Tobirama's desk.

"Is there something else?" Tobirama asked coldly.

To his surprise, Rinjin actually nodded.

"Lord Tobirama, can you take me with you to the frontlines for the peace talks?"

The moment those words left his mouth, everyone in the office was stunned. Even the usually composed Tobirama's expression darkened.

"Rinjin Sakata!" Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the room.

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Rinjin turned his head in confusion toward the source of the outburst.

It was none other than Danzō Shimura, who had once again jumped out, his face flushed red with anger.

"Rinjin Sakata, confess! Are you secretly colluding with Hanzō of the Salamander and planting spies in our village?!"

He heavily emphasized the word "our," feeling a surge of satisfaction in his heart.

I, Danzō, have endured humiliation and kept silent all this time for this very moment—to tear off this two-faced traitor's mask in front of my teacher!

Fueled by this thought, the fire of ambition burned brightly within Danzō.

Rinjin scratched his head in bewilderment and looked at Tobirama.

"Lord Tobirama, is your student having a seizure?" Rinjin asked weakly.

"You insolent brat! How dare you lie in front of the teacher!"

"Still pretending? Tell us! How did you know about the peace talks? And with such precise timing?!"

Hearing Danzō's questioning, Rinjin finally understood and quickly scanned the room;

Apart from Kagami Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who seemed deep in thought, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado all wore grave expressions.

Seeing this, Rinjin's face instantly turned sour.

Good grief! What kind of idiots am I dealing with here?

No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi made so many poor decisions in his later years—it's because he was led astray by these people!

After silently venting his frustration, Rinjin sighed helplessly.

"Oh, come on! This is such a simple matter. Anyone with a functioning brain should be able to figure it out!"

As he spoke, Rinjin's face twisted in exasperation, and he scratched his head vigorously.

"Announcing the end of the war without recalling the ninja from the battlefield—why?

From the moment I entered Konoha, Dog hasn't left my side, yet suddenly he disappears—what's going on?

The Konoha Police Force used to patrol twice a day, but now they patrol seven or eight times a day—do you think everyone is stupid?"

After finishing, Rinjin pursed his lips tightly and cast a pitying glance at Danzō in the distance. Then, with the same expression, he looked at Tobirama in front of him.

Witnessing this, Koharu and Homura were terrified, their scalps tingling with fear.

This guy, Rinjin, is too bold!

That look—he's clearly pitying Danzō's intelligence and, by extension, pitying the teacher for having such a student!

Rinjin, do you even know what fear is?

Rinjin noticed their expressions and his face twisted even further.

Good grief, did you guys put all your skill points into reading people's expressions? Why not invest some in strategic thinking?!

Oh my god, does Konoha even have a future?

At that moment, Rinjin was filled with doubt and self-doubt!

No way, I can't let these three idiots drag Hiruzen Sarutobi down with them!

As Rinjin silently made up his mind, Danzō broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn it, this is the second time! The second time this bastard has insulted my intelligence! Regret! Exhaustion! I just want to die!

Being pitied by Rinjin, Tobirama didn't get angry.

In fact, he had only been momentarily suspicious when Rinjin first arrived.

After all, with Hanzō of the Salamander backing him, it wasn't entirely impossible that Hanzō might learn of their movements, which posed some risk.

However, Tobirama was a seasoned strategist and quickly figured out the key to the situation.

But taking Rinjin along for the peace talks? That was out of the question.

Not only were the discussions with the Second Raikage about two critical secrets, but bringing along a small fry from Amegakure would also be highly inappropriate.

After pondering for a moment, Tobirama shook his head.

"No."

Hearing the Second Hokage's refusal, Rinjin sighed softly and, like a rascal, plopped down on the floor.

"Alright then. In that case, which prison?"

The others were once again shocked.

This guy—did he even anticipate Lord Tobirama's thoughts?

Rinjin, seeing no one respond, reluctantly pulled out a turtle-shaped coin pouch from his pocket. With trembling hands, he took out a 500 ryō bill and placed it on the ground.

"Well, since no one's talking, I'll just say it myself.

First, no matter where you lock me up, I need three meals a day. I hate going hungry!

And I need meat—meat with every meal!"

Rinjin emphasized this heavily. Then, with trembling hands, he pushed the 500 ryō bill toward Tobirama.

"Lord Tobirama, this is my meal money. Let's make it clear—if you take my money, you can't go back on your word!

You're all adults; don't bully a kid like me!"

Seeing Rinjin's earnest expression, even the usually composed Tobirama couldn't help but twitch his face.

This damn brat—500 ryō, and he wants meat with every meal?! This is infuriating! He needs to be taught a lesson, or he'll become even more unruly!

With that thought, Tobirama's hand under the table subtly formed a seal.

In his mind, he quietly commanded:

"Spirit Transformation Technique!"

In the next second, Tobirama maintained his meditative posture, but his invisible spirit instantly traveled across space and entered Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.

Hiruzen felt his body stiffen and was momentarily terrified. Just as he was about to resist, he heard his teacher's calm and swift voice in his mind.

"Monkey, don't panic. Listen to me!

I'm using the Spirit Transformation Technique right now. Do exactly as I instruct!"

The voice faded, and Hiruzen quickly committed his teacher's instructions to memory. His eyes gleamed as he turned to Rinjin and spoke.

"Rinjin-kun, you're overestimating your importance!

Our village is strong. Even if Lord Tobirama and the rest of us aren't here, nothing major will happen.

So, we're not planning to lock you up."

Hearing this, Rinjin was overjoyed. He didn't even notice the unusual tone in Hiruzen's voice as he grabbed the 500 ryō bill and prepared to leave.

At that moment, Hiruzen grabbed Rinjin and gave him a sinister smile.

"But since you brought it up, we'll reluctantly grant your wish.

How about this: you can choose between the Uchiha compound and the Anbu prison!"

Hearing this, Rinjin froze, his expression twisting into one of utter despair.

"Uh… do the Uchihas allow freedom?"

Hearing Rinjin's stammered question, Hiruzen turned to Kagami Uchiha, who first shook his head, then nodded, and Hiruzen understood.

"There is… relative freedom."

Upon hearing this, Rinjin thought for a moment, sighed, and resigned himself.

"Fine, the Uchiha it is. Even though their Byakugan can monitor me 360 degrees without any blind spots, a little freedom is still better than eternal darkness! At least I can move around."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless as they glanced at Rinjin, then at Kagami Uchiha, who was holding his forehead in exasperation.

"Rinjin-kun, our clan's Kekkei Genkai is the Sharingan!" Kagami explained firmly.

"Huh?" Rinjin stared at Kagami in confusion.

"Isn't it the Byakugan? Then why does Ryōta from our class always give me a huge 'Byakugan' whenever he sees me?"

Hearing this, even the ever-patient Kagami couldn't hold back anymore. Fighting the urge to roll his eyes, he voiced what everyone was thinking.

"You… your mouth is so damn sharp!"
