Chapter 353 : Beautiful City
"What a beautiful city."
Hashirama said as he looked around the prosperous capital of the Kingdom of the Blue Dragon. His eyes widened in amazement as he saw the wide streets paved with shining white stone, the lush trees lining both sides, the colorful flowers filling the public gardens, the fountains flowing with clear water, and the waterways running everywhere, creating gentle sounds that resembled music.
People walked through the streets wearing elegant clothes, their faces carrying satisfied smiles, as if they were living in an earthly paradise, far away from the wars and bloodshed they were accustomed to seeing in their reality.
But his voice was soon interrupted by another sharp and dry voice.
"Focus, brother. We are not here to sightsee."
Tobirama said from behind him, his expression serious and his eyes carefully examining the surroundings as if he expected an attack at any moment.
"But Tobirama, aren't you curious about—"
Before Hashirama could finish, Tobirama interrupted him, his voice even sharper this time.
"Be quiet, brother, and come on, keep moving, or we will be late for our meeting with the king. You know how difficult it was to get this opportunity, and how much effort we put into convincing them to receive us, so don't waste it just to enjoy the scenery."
Hashirama became disappointed and lowered his head sadly, his expression resembling that of a child who had been denied a toy he loved.
"You really have such a bad temper. You can never enjoy anything. Even in a beautiful place like this, you keep thinking only about work."
Then the two of them heard a soft voice from behind them, gentle as silk and carrying a hint of warmth and kindness. Both turned around quickly, because they had not even sensed when this young woman had managed to stand behind them.
Tobirama's expression immediately became serious, while Hashirama smiled as if he had finally found someone who shared his opinion about his brother.
"Yes, miss, I suffer a lot because of his bad temper."
Hashirama said as he complained about his younger brother, his tone carrying a hint of amusement as he tried to take advantage of the opportunity to express everything he had been holding inside.
But Tobirama paid no attention to his brother's words. Instead, his mind began working intensely as he analyzed the young woman standing before them, especially since her appearance was extremely distinctive and carried a powerful significance among all the major powers of the world.
Long sky-blue hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her bright blue eyes radiated intelligence and calmness. This meant only one thing: she was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of the Blue Dragon, the Ayato family. Perhaps she might also belong to that ancient higher power known only to a very small number of clans in the world , the hidden Ryukoga family, which had some kind of connection to the royal family.
Therefore, Tobirama's expression became extremely serious, because he had read everything related to the history of this ancient power and the legends surrounding it in their family's ancient archives.
