Chapter 202 - Cap 188: Play Tag

"I guess it is here..." - said one girl who was standing in front of a small group of three other girls. They were standing in front of Konoha's entrance as they admired how imposing the gates looked.

The leader was wearing a white hood that covered her entire body, but from her eyes and body shape, you could tell that she was a girl with a well-defined body.

"Let's hope it's easy to talk to this man" - said one of the companions.

"We'd better gather information first before we make contact with him," answered another of the girls.

"I agree, it is better to be safe than sorry, so we can also find practical methods to defeat him in case he is not worthy of the hand of the Princess Nadeshiko" - answered the third girl as she saw two men walking in her direction.

"Welcome to Konoha, I would like to know the reason for your arrival," said Izumo as he looked at the newcomers seriously.

"More respect to whom you speak, man... you are in front of a superior" - said one of the girls while the others gave the gatekeeper an annoying look.

"Enough" - said the leader of the group while she looked at her companions with annoyance, and then looked at the gatekeeper - "I'm sorry about the attitude of my companions, they are just a little tense because it's the first time we travel so far from our home village"

"Don't worry, even though you haven't answered my question yet," Izumo said again. He wouldn't let a bunch of pretty girls get in the way of his work.

"I have come to talk to Uzumaki Kurama," the leader replied calmly.

"With Kurama-sama?" - Kotetsu asked in surprise as he looked at the new arrivals. He had changed a bit over the years, now being much more professional - "May I know why you want to see him? For your information, this need not be said if you do not wish it, it is only an optional procedure"

"I have come to talk to him about the tradition of my home village," the girl answered calmly. "I am sure that if you tell him that the envoy who comes to collect the debt of... the Sannin of the Toads... I am sure he will understand immediately when you inform him about it"

". . ." - the two gatekeepers looked at each other as they decided they didn't need to get into it anymore.

"Just come in. . . if you come because of Jiraiya-sama (Pui). . ." - Kotetsu was silent as he heard the girls spit when he named the white-haired Sannin - "As I said if you come because of Jiraiya-sama (Pui)..."

". . ." - Izumo was silent as he watched the girls spit on the ground again.

"I'm sorry about that. . . it's a law in our village that every time someone says the name of. . . the Sannin of the Toads, we have to spit with disdain" - answered the leader of the group - "I'm sorry if this causes inconvenience to you"

"No... no problem..." - Izumo said as he shook his head - "Although now I'm curious as to why you have a law like that"

"I'm sorry to tell you that we can't answer you as it's against the rules" - answered the leader.

"Ok, we understand" - Kotetsu nodded - "I need you to fill in all this information so that you can enter, keep in mind that you will be watched by a shinobi from the shadows in public places to prevent you from having bad intentions against Konoha, we are also not responsible for the consequences of finding a fight with any shinobi or civilian in Konoha... if you are found guilty of any crime, then you will be punished with the laws of Konoha".

"We understand," the leader nodded calmly; after all, they had not come to wreak havoc with a village that could easily exterminate them despite their great strength.

"Thank you for your understanding" - said Izumo calmly as he handed her some doc.u.ments that were completed with great speed - " Done, you can go in... I wish you a good stay in Konoha... and if you want to relax, I recommend you not to use the hot springs, not when Jiraiya-sama (Pui)... is in the village"

"We understand," said the leader as she shook her head, "we are more than aware of that man's personality"

"Ok, I wish you luck in your conversation with Kurama-sama," said Kotetsu as the two gatekeepers returned to their posts.

"Wait a moment... I'd like to know what kind of man is Uzumaki Kurama" - said the leader.

"Didn't you come to talk to him?" - asked Kotetsu as he frowned - "Isn't it normal to get information from the person you have to meet with and prevent problems?"

". . ." - The girls were embarrassed when they heard this because it was true. They only had a small image of the redhead, so they decided it was better to gather information about him in his home village.

"Okay, I'll do a quick summary" - sighed Izumo while shaking his head - "Kurama-sama is the hero of all men in Konoha, as he is not only strong but also has the most beautiful women of Konoha by his side... although this is because he is participating in a special law created by the Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama to preserve the clans that were on the verge of extinction, known as CRA"

"I'm sure the leader-sama wanted to know about Uzumaki Kurama's personality" - said one of the girls.

"Oh... then it is much easier" - nodded Kotetsu - "Kurama-sama is a person who if you ask all the people, will tell you that he is someone kind and honorable, even known as a hero in the different regions of the Elemental Nations"

"Right... the name Jigoku no Kitsune is quite popular now, almost as popular as Sekkusu Kami-sama" - said Izumo as he shook his head.

". . ." - the girls were silent when they heard this.

"Anyway, if you want to know more about him, you'd better talk with him yourself, I'm sure you won't have any trouble with him" - said Kotetsu as he looked at the girls - "Although before you see him, I recommend you go to a hotel because many visitors have come lately"

"Okay, I'll take your advice" - the leader nodded - "By the way... where could I find him?"

"Go to Kakashi-sama, the current Hokage, and he will send the message to the Uzumaki mansion, as it has a barrier that causes the senses of those who walk around to be distorted unless you have a special Uzumaki seal," Izumo responded calmly.

"Thank you very much," the leader nodded as she looked at the others, "Let's go"

"Hai!" - exclaimed the three girls as they nodded and entered the village.

"Ugh..."- Kurotsuchi only sighed with regret at how the children seemed to have unlimited energy - "What time do they go to bed?"

"Sleep?" - the children asked as their eyes shone brightly.

"Oh... I don't think you should have said that" - said Kurama as he burst out laughing - "You see... when Kushi-chan and the others try to put the children to sleep, they have to catch them first because they have a lot of energy, so they play tag so that they spend all that energy... you could say that before they go to sleep, it's my little ones' favorite time"

"Play Tag!" - exclaimed the children with excitement, even Ryu was excited.

"Oh, shit" - thought Kurotsuchi in terror at the sight of the children's eyes.

"You encouraged them, you play with them, that's the rule" - answered Kurama with a big smile on his face - "Are you, ready children?"

"Hai!" - exclaimed the little ones with emotion.

"Remember that you cannot leave the building," added the older redhead.

"Hai!" - exclaimed the children again as they looked at Kurotsuchi.

"Oh... I forgot Kurotsuchi... if you don't catch them, I'm sure Naruto will play with you for a long time..." - smiled Kurama as he watched his first-born son laugh like a little fox.

"This has to be a joke..." - said Kurotsuchi as she began to weep over the injustice. - the children asked as their eyes shone brightly.

"Oh... I don't think you should have said that" - said Kurama as he burst out laughing - "You see... when Kushi-chan and the others try to put the children to sleep, they have to catch them first because they have a lot of energy, so they play tag so that they spend all that energy... you could say that before they go to sleep, it's my little ones' favorite time"

"Catch-catch!" - exclaimed the children with excitement, even Ryu was excited.

"Oh, shit" - thought Kurotsuchi in terror at the sight of the children's eyes.

"You encouraged them, you play with them, that's the rule" - answered Kurama with a big smile on his face - "Are you ready, children?"

"Hai!" - exclaimed the little ones with emotion.

"Remember that you cannot leave the building," added the older redhead.

"Hai!" - exclaimed the children again as they looked at Kurotsuchi.

"Oh... I forgot Kurotsuchi... if you don't catch them, I'm sure Naruto will play with you for a long time..." - smiled Kurama as he watched his first-born son laugh like a little fox.

"This has to be a joke..." - said Kurotsuchi as he began to weep over the injustice. She had only destroyed a few buildings without harming lives... she did not deserve such torture.

"Ready! You can run!" - exclaimed Kurama as the children disappeared from the scene.

". . ." - Kurotsuchi was only silent because she never thought those little ones would be so fast.

"Remember, you have to play with them until they have no more energy" - said Kurama while he looked at the Iwa girl - "You can even consider it training now that you have your chakra sealed... think about it, if you manage to capture my children now that you are only using your physical abilities, it means that you have a minimum level of Jonin"

"Are they that good?" - Kurotsuchi asked in surprise. She never thought the children were that strong.

"They are fast... very fast even though they don't have great offensive power," Kurama answered calmly. "You could say that is why Naruto can get away when he makes a prank... Good luck."

". . ." - Kurotsuchi sighed regretfully as she thought that maybe her grandfather coming to Konoha wouldn't be such a bad idea... at least now she was rethinking about all the damage she had caused, all because she spent time with the little demons... a pity her punishment wasn't over yet - "I'd better catch them quickly so they can go to sleep soon..."
