Chapter 25
Izanami, lost in her thoughts, found herself standing before the reception desk almost unconsciously.
“Hello, miss. How can I help you today?” The receptionist asked kindly, breaking Izanami out of her reverie.
Collecting herself, Izanami addressed the receptionist with a hint of impatience in her tone. “Hmph, of course, this young mistress has some business here but that is no concern for you. But before that, where is your Hokage? Shouldn’t he come and greet me? This young mistress doesn’t have all day. If he’s just trying to delay our meeting, then he should prepare to pay off the added interest on the debt Konoha owes us.”
There was silence all of a sudden. Everyone who heard this whether they were civilians or ninjas were able to react as they heard her arrogant words.
As Izanami stood before the reception desk, her impatience palpable, a collective murmur arose from those nearby. "Did this girl go insane or something? Why would the Hokage come greet her? Even if she's a noble, isn't this arrogance a bit too much?" Their shock and anger were evident, especially among the ninjas. To them, the Hokage was an idol.
Sensing the hostility in the air, Izanami turned her gaze to the surrounding audience and asked arrogantly, "What are you looking at? Never seen a princess before? Tsk, is this how Konoha is? Everywhere you look, you can only see mad horn dogs who have no manners. I wouldn't even be surprised if the people here kidnapped little girls to satisfy their lust. Maybe I should also charge this to the debt this village owes."
Hearing her words, the ninjas all turned away from her. Although they wanted to curse at this little girl for insulting the Hokage, they didn’t dare to make trouble. They knew that this girl just wanted some excuse for extorting money from the village.
As ninjas, their ability to assess the situation was far better than the civilians who still kept glaring at the girl. Although the Hokage wouldn’t punish some civilians, he surely would punish the ninjas for creating more trouble for him, especially when they realized that this girl was here to collect the debt money the village owed to them.
The receptionist, a retired ninja, quickly composed herself, masking any expression of annoyance or agitation. With professional grace, she assured Izanami that she would promptly inform the Hokage of her presence and inquire about his availability at that moment. However, her professional facade almost faltered upon hearing the words Izanami uttered next.
"Huh, who do you think I am? I don’t care if your Hokage is unavailable right now," Izanami retorted, her arrogance palpable. "Just tell him to stop his boring stuff and come greet me. I won't waste my time waiting for your Hokage to finish his porn book."
The receptionist tried her best to maintain her composure, but her patience was wearing thin. Who did this girl think she was? Hadn't her parents taught her any manners? She needed to learn how to respect her elders.
The realization that Izanami commanded such respect, to the extent that even Tsunade refrained from confrontation, struck fear into their hearts. Throughout the Fire Country, Tsunade's respect was sparingly granted, reserved primarily for the Fire Daimyo himself, and even then, she did not extend such courtesy to his family.
