Chapter 4: Nara Shikaku’s Allegiance
The two old geezers knelt frantically before Kamizuki Hikari, making Tsunade feel immensely satisfied as she watched from the side.
With Hikari here, how could she possibly worry about securing the Hokage seat?
"No, he is not sensei. Homura, have you forgotten? He should be Kamizuki Hikari that Hiruzen mentioned—the one who looks remarkably similar to our sensei." Koharu Utatane was slightly calmer. After the initial shock, she identified Hikari.
Mitokado Homura also recalled that information, but seeing Kamizuki Hikari's cold gaze, he could only avert his eyes.
"Impersonating the Second Hokage—Kamizuki Hikari, do you realize the crime you have committed?!"
Kamizuki Hikari curled his lips. "Quite the accusation you've made there. This is my face. Are you saying that just looking like this is a crime? You two certainly throw your weight around. Even Tsunade-sama hasn't said anything, yet you two act so high and mighty."
"I'm not here to argue with you. Tsunade, hurry up and heal this man. He's injured because of you!" Homura, feeling distressed for the injured ANBU, continued pressuring Tsunade.
[He's not going to die. This is a perfect opportunity to put Homura in his place. Just say your hemophobia hasn't improved and tell him to take the man to the hospital.]
Tsunade had initially planned to have Shizune handle the treatment, but after hearing Kamizuki Hikari's inner thoughts, she immediately changed her mind.
"Apologies, my condition is still the same. Elders, please take him to the Konoha Hospital. The village will cover the treatment costs."
"Fine!"
