Chapter 91 - Hokage's residence. (Patreon)

Nahida was quite surprised to find Sakura right next to his hotel. Sakura was a little embarrassed. 'Maybe she was coming to my hotel?'

Sakura hadn't yet had the chance to thank Nahida enough for what he had done for her. She was going to his hotel to thank and give him a present.

Sakura was embarrassed to see him and didn't know what to say.

"What are you doing here?" Nahida approached Sakura.

"I was going to your hotel... I wanted to thank you again."

"You've thanked me enough. I don't know how many times you've said 'thank you' to me... There have been many." Nahida laughed, and Sakura pouted.

"Even so, I want to thank you again. Here, take this." Sakura took something out of her pocket and handed it to Nahida. It was a bracelet made of some material Nahida didn't know.

"Thanks for this. I'll wear it from now on." Nahida put the bracelet on his wrist and then stroked Sakura's head. "Now I have to go. I must talk to Tsunade about something before I start my training."

"Training? You want to train?"

"Yes, I want to train here. But I don't know if it will work; I've never used Chakra."

"If you want, I can help you!" Sakura exclaimed, excited. Her eyes were shining. "I can accompany you on your training and teach you some of the basic jutsu I know. What do you think?"

"That would be nice."

"Great! I'm free right now if you want."

"As I said before, I need to talk to Tsunade. Now that you're here, can you accompany me to where she is?"

"Sure, I'll take you to the fifth Hokage." Sakura took Nahida's hand and started walking. Nahida smiled and followed her. It was a little uncomfortable, though. The people around them kept staring at them.

'I think they're suspicious... My clothes are different, and they've never seen me before... Do they think I've come from another village?' Nahida smiled bitterly.

But he decided to ignore the judgmental looks of the people around him and enjoy his walk with Sakura. She was showing him around.

Nahida managed to see where Naruto loved eating noodles. That's where he wanted to have lunch.

'I'll do that later, though.'

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's very nice. The buildings are all beautiful and very well decorated. But the most amazing thing is the Hokage's faces on the mountain. It's so well done."

"Isn't it amazing?"

"Yes, it's incredible. But what got me most excited was that." Nahida pointed to where the Hokage lived, the village's main building. It was a large, beautiful red building, so beautiful that Nahida forgot how to breathe.

Although it didn't look so beautiful in the anime, seeing it in person was something else. It was incredible.

'The whole structure is so beautiful and well built...' 

"You'll find it even more amazing when you get up close. Let's go quickly." Sakura started running, and Nahida followed. On the way, Nahida saw a few characters, including Kurenai.

She was a character that Nahida found very underused, but one of his favourite characters.

However, the character that caught Nahida's eye the most was Ino, walking alongside some friends that Nahida couldn't remember. 'She's so beautiful. Too bad she's still too young.'

She was still a teenager, so Nahida shouldn't do anything stupid.

'That reminds me, I was thinking of doing something with Rin... She's a teenager too, isn't she?'

But Nahida put these impure thoughts out of his head and continued running towards the building where Tsunade was.

Nahida arrived at the main building, and Sakura entered with him.

"I can take you to her room if you want."

"Since I don't know anything about this place, it would be nice if you took me there."

Sakura then led Nahida to the door of Tsunade's room. And when they got there, Nahida could hear Kakashi's voice. 'Oh, I've arrived at a very opportune time.'

And to Nahida's surprise, they were talking about their hotel and Nahida's market. Tsunade commented on this to Kakashi, who supported the idea of the market.

"Bringing different things to the village could be good. If what you've said is right, we'll probably have a lot to gain, especially if the price of the products is good."

"But even so, isn't it a bit dangerous? We don't know the origin of the products he wants to sell in our village. Should we trust him?"

"He didn't seem like a bad guy to me." Kakashi sighed. "But since you're so suspicious, why don't you participate in everything?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can help build the market and also select the products. You can select the products you want him to sell by yourself."

"You're right..." Tsunade put her hand to her chin and thought, "That could work. Even so..."

"I can go to the hotel and talk to him if you like this idea. Speaking of which, you should allow the residents to visit the hotel. They're quite curious."

"Not yet..." Tsunade replied.

Nahida, who was outside the room listening to the conversation, was nudged by Sakura. "Aren't you going to knock?"

"I just wanted to hear the conversation."

'It seems they've banned the locals from coming to my hotel. She doesn't trust me.'

Nahida would change this.
