Naruto turned his head away, no longer looking at Kagen and Yoro, but met Minato's playful gaze.
Minato blinked, meaning, 'Son, you're in the wrong here. Hinata is a good girl, how could you do something like this!'
Naruto blinked back, meaning, 'It's a misunderstanding! Fu is just outgoing and a bit of an airhead, she just sees me as a good friend.'
Minato blinked again, indicating he'd believe him for now.
Fu had also finished her little tantrum, hands on her hips: "I forgive you! Let's go play! We can have snowball fights, build snowmen, and..."
Fu counted the games they could play on her fingers.
Kagen and Yoro quickly stopped her, saying, "Fu, the summit is about to start, you can't run around!"
Fu turned around, dissatisfied: "Huh? It's rare to come out here!"
Naruto patted her on the shoulder: "I have responsibilities too, let's play later."
"Okay~" Fu had no choice but to reply disappointedly.
The Samurai leading the way saw that they had finished catching up and said, "The meeting room is just ahead, excuse me."
"Thank you for your hard work." Minato took the lead and walked in, with Naruto and Shisui following closely behind.
In the middle of the room was a U-shaped conference table with five seats, and behind each seat hung a curtain of a different color, with the large characters for Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, and Lightning written on them.
Opposite the conference table was the position of Mifune, the host of the summit, with a seat for the leader of the Hidden Waterfall Village temporarily added next to him.
On the second-floor attic were the seats for the guards, who could see and hear the contents of the meeting, and could jump down to protect their respective Kage, although their main role was probably to prevent the guards from interrupting.
It was said that the rule that guards were not allowed to participate in the meeting was established jointly by the Water Shadow, Wind Shadow, Earth Shadow, and Raikage after the first Five Kage Summit, because if Tobirama hadn't interrupted back then, their four great nations might have gained a lot of benefits for nothing.
Since the summit hadn't officially started yet, the Mizukage and Raikage were quietly sitting in their seats, facing each other at opposite ends of the U-shaped table, wordlessly, while their guards stood behind them, glaring at each other's guards with unfriendly eyes.
The Hidden Waterfall Village leader, Shibuki, was in another lounge, listening to Mifune explain the procedures and rules of the Five Kage Summit. Fu had taken this opportunity to run out.
The scene Minato saw when he came in was this rather disharmonious one.
However, as the group walked in, the stiff atmosphere was finally broken somewhat.
"Fourth Hokage, long time no see!" Yagura stood up when he saw Minato, although his height didn't change much whether he was sitting or standing.
Zabuza probably thought of someone, and his eyes softened instantly.
Mei Terumi was very genuine. She looked at Minato, a handsome man, then at Shisui, a moderately handsome man, and finally at Naruto, a young handsome man. 'Mizukage-sama, I want to go to Konoha...'
"It has indeed been a long time, Fourth Mizukage." In formal settings, both sides tacitly chose the title of Kage.
Naruto glanced at Zabuza, thinking that there wasn't anyone from Cloud Village that I hadn't beaten up, but there was one from Kirigakure.
"Hmph!" The Raikage had originally wanted to get up and greet him, but in the end, he didn't move, only watching Yagura and Minato shake hands and reminisce.
Yagura lightly raised his chin in the direction of the Raikage: "That guy is hard to communicate with, he doesn't listen to anyone."
Minato walked up to the Raikage and smiled: "Speaking of which, it's been more than ten years since we last met. Now we've all become the Kage of our respective villages, everyone has changed a lot."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later, Hokage." The Raikage closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, putting on a look of refusing to communicate, thinking that this guy hadn't changed at all.
"That's troublesome. In that case, I hope we can have a good chat later." Minato had no choice but to return to his seat. He could understand the Raikage's feelings; the feeling of losing someone important was not easy to bear.
Fu had already been escorted by Kagen and Yoro to find Shibuki. Naruto, feeling bored as he looked around, leaned over to Old Dad and asked, "Gaara and the others haven't arrived yet. Should I go pick them up?"
Minato stopped him, "There's no need. This journey is a good experience for them as well."
...
"Achoo~" Kankuro, who was advancing in the cold wind, sneezed violently, rubbed his nose, and complained, "Ah, what a terrible experience."
"Point yourself in another direction when you sneeze!" Temari punched her foolish younger brother on the head.
Kankuro covered his head, "There's no time! You're always so violent, be careful you won't be able to marry!"
"What did you say!" The veins on Temari's forehead bulged into a tic-tac-toe pattern.
Kankuro hid on the other side of Gaara, still stubborn despite his cowardice.
Gaara said calmly, "Bear with it a little longer, we should be there soon."
Only after entering the base did Kankuro feel a little better. He immediately stood properly behind Gaara, and then had the nerve to whisper to Gaara not to lose the Kazekage's dignity.
Temari supported her forehead, not calling him out, as it wasn't convenient to discipline her younger brother with outsiders present.
Gaara greeted the three Kage, not showing any particular closeness.
Naruto happily waved to them, figuring he would only see these few acquaintances today.
Gaara and Temari nodded in response, only Kankuro slightly raised his head, pretending to be arrogant, to help maintain the Kazekage's dignity.
Naruto: What's wrong with this guy?
After Gaara sat down, Temari happened to be standing next to Naruto.
Naruto looked at her cool attire, thought for a moment, and took out a brand new warm cloak: "Need it?"
"Ah?" Temari was stunned for a moment, Why is he so concerned about me?
Before she could react, Naruto stuffed it into her hand, "This is Shikamaru's clothes, you can thank him."
Temari hesitated for a moment, but still took the cloak and put it on, feeling much warmer, her face even turning a little red.
With her body warmed up, her mind became clearer, and Temari suddenly felt something was wrong: "Why do you carry Shikamaru's clothes with you?"
"emmmm..." Naruto thought seriously for a moment, and a small light bulb lit up on his head, "I decided to give him this piece of clothing three minutes ago."
Minato and Shisui couldn't help but smile, Naruto really knew how to take care of his little friends.
Temari was both ashamed and annoyed, she couldn't wear this piece of clothing, nor could she return it.
Kankuro came over: "Um, is there any extra?"
Naruto imitated Kankuro's previous appearance, arrogantly raising his head, to maintain the dignity of being the Hokage's son.
Kankuro was helpless: "I was rude before, um, can I have one?"
"Tsk tsk." Naruto was a generous person, forgiving him for apologizing.
After Kankuro put it on, he asked a question as if possessed: "Whose is this?"
Naruto showed an 'you got a good deal' expression and waved his hand: "Akamaru's."
Kankuro: "..." Isn't Akamaru like, a dog?
"Why does it turn into dog clothes when it gets to me, you bastard!"
"Are you looking down on Akamaru? Kiba treats Akamaru like a brother, be careful he goes to Sunagakure Village to bite you!"
