The sun was low in the sky as we left the Hokage tower.

Tsunade…

Tsunade was slowly recovering from us bringing up the idea of resurrecting Dan and Nawaki returned. Konoha's traditions did mean that she had the requisite DNA samples for both of them.

She just… hadn't put two and two together. The thought had never crossed her mind.

When we brought it up, she became conflicted. Immediately beginning to struggle with the idea of bringing them back. We started talking to her offering up any information we had on the process. What little information we had on the process.

It had taken her a long time to come to grips with that.

Still, we eventually managed to move on to other topics, discussing a trade for Tsunade's medical expertise in the treatment of Strange's hands.

The Hokage was… actually really accepting of it. Apparently, spending the last two years overhauling Konoha's medical system had been an amazing treatment for her haemophobia, and he was more than willing to trade her skills in this endeavour in exchange for certain electronics.

Most of the high-end electronics used by Konoha were actually exports from Snow Country, and as such came with a hefty price tag, on top of being less than trustworthy. In exchange for her services, I would be providing seven hundred portable radio units with a one-kilometre range.

Well, three hundred if she was able to undo the damage to Strange's hands. If not, I'd still be compensating her for her time. In that case, I would only be providing enough radio units to outfit the Hokage tower staff, as opposed to enough to outfit the entire ANBU.

The deal struck, we bid each other a good day and headed off.

With the daylight hours waning, my angel and I made the most of our time. We explored the various sights around Konoha, met with the various people who were cleared to know who we actually were and even checked in with Hinata.

Eventually, we found the daylight fading and we were soon checked into one of the more upscale ryokans that dotted the periphery of Konoha.

The room was quite large and opened out to a open-air area that housed a personal onsen beyond that, with an amazing view of the forests around Konoha.

Angela made a beeline for it, past the thick futons and the large table that furnished the main sleeping area.

I chuckled as I hung up my coat and put away our bags. Angela had really enjoyed our day out on the town and had been more than excited to try out the various shops that we passed by.

Boy was I glad that I had a deal with Konoha to sell gold easily.

Still, it was worth it to see my angel so happy as she picked out little presents for her family back home.

But now, she just wanted to rest and take in the view.

I walked up to her, resting my hand under her wings before she realised that I was there. Immediately, she began to cuddle into my side. "Thanks for taking me with you Jon."

I smiled as I pulled her close, "It was no trouble."
