Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Shion looked at Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga and said, "I know you two want to be with Yoruichi-nii, and I feel the same way. But only if you listen to me can this wish come true."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Karin Uzumaki immediately bristled, her red hair flying wildly even without wind: "How dare you make a move on Yoruichi! I will never let you get away with this!"

Hinata Uzumaki's gaze also turned somewhat unfriendly.

Having two 'competitors', Kurenai Yuhi and Karin Uzumaki, made her very unhappy.

Now there's another Shion who looks exactly like her and is even stronger than her.

Hinata Hinata's sense of crisis suddenly surged.

"Yoruichi-nii will not belong to just one person."

Shion pointed to her eyes and said, "These eyes of mine can see the future. Only if you listen to me will we have a chance to stay by Yoruichi's side."

"What do you mean?" Karin Uzumaki was stunned. "You mean, the three of us together? How can that be?!"

"Why not?" Shion retorted, "Daimyo and nobles have many wives and concubines, and they can have them, so why can't Yoruichi-nii? Do you think Yoruichi-nii is inferior to them?!"

The ninja world is very divided.

The vast majority of ninjas are monogamous.

For nobles, having multiple wives and concubines was the norm.

This also led to the fact that the people's ways of thinking were completely different.

Karin Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and others, who received 'ninja'-style education from a young age, instinctively believe that Yoruichi Yagami can only have one woman by his side.

Shion, who was nominally a priestess of the Land of Demons but actually the 'Daimyo', never confined her thinking to the 'monogamy' model of ninjas.

"Or rather..." Shion looked at Karin Uzumaki and said sarcastically, "Are you trying to force Yoruichi to leave Kurenai-sensei? You know that Yoruichi won't be happy if you do that, right?"

Karin Uzumaki was indeed provoked by Shion and shouted, "I will not make Yoruichi sad!"

As she spoke, Karin Uzumaki blushed and said shyly, "As long as I can be with Yoruichi, I can accept it even if there are other people involved!"

"So let's cooperate." Shion pressed her advantage, urging, "If you rely on yourselves alone, you absolutely cannot succeed. Only by listening to me can you stay by Yoruichi's side together!"

"Shion!" Hinata Hyuga sensed something was wrong and immediately exclaimed, "You mean, you want us to be in charge of you from now on?!"

Hearing Hinata Hyuga's words, Karin Uzumaki also came to her senses, looked at Shion warily, and said, "Are you going to be the big boss and make us the small ones?!"

Shion: "..."

Is this the thought process of the Uzumaki clan?

Ziyuan remained silent for a moment.

"I can cooperate with you, but don't expect me to do whatever you say from now on!" Hinata Hyuga looked at Shion warily and said, "Just tell me everything you know, or I'll tell Yoruichi!"

Hinata Hinata knew that she was no match for Shion at the moment.

Even if the three of them joined forces, it would be difficult for them to deal with Shion's Netherworld Legion in this unrestricted environment.

But she knew very well who Shion feared most.

If you can't beat them, then go complain to their parents!

These words struck a nerve with Ziyuan.

"I just can't do anything with you."

Ziyuan shook her head and said, "How about we make a bet? If I win, you'll listen to me. If I lose, I'll listen to you."

"How do you want to bet?" Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga remained wary, but their tone softened somewhat.

"You all know about Yoruichi's plan. Coincidentally, there are two Jinchuriki participating in this Chunin Exams."

Shion said, "We will each be responsible for capturing one Jinchuriki. Whoever finishes first wins. The condition is that they must be captured alive. To be fair, you can choose first."

Although Yagami Yoruichi didn't intentionally tell the girls about some of her plans, she didn't hide them from them when discussing them with Orochimaru, Tsunade, and others.

They all knew a little bit about it, especially since Yagami Yoruichi planned to capture all the Jinchuriki after the Chunin Exams.

They had already figured out the identities of the two Jinchuriki who were participating in the Chunin Exams during the previous exams.

“Hey, let’s choose the One-Tailed Beast. Its strength should be the weakest,” Karin Uzumaki suggested.

“But Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages after all. Even without the Tailed Beasts, their strength is not bad. We also have puppeteers as enemies, which we have never fought and do not know their methods.” Hinata Hyuga analyzed for a while and said, “In comparison, the forces of a small shinobi village like Takigakure are probably much weaker. I think capturing the Seven-Tails would be easier.”

Neither of them realized that, without their knowledge, they had tacitly accepted Shion's proposal.

The right to speak is determined by a 'bet'.

Far away.

Shion's true form stood atop the tree canopy, gazing into the direction of Karin Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and Yakumo Kurama, her eyes flashing with countless images.

A peculiar power emanated from her body, quietly spreading and influencing everything around her.

After a while...

Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga finally finished their discussion, looked up at Shion, and said, "We'll take care of the Seven-Tails, and you two will take care of the One-Tails."

"Whoever completes the capture first wins!" Ziyuan looked up at the two women and said, "The loser must accept the consequences and follow the winner's instructions."

"If you lose, you have to tell us everything you know!" Hinata Hyuga hurriedly added, "You have to tell us how you can stay by Yoruichi's side!"

Shion looked at Hinata Hyuga, and after a moment of confrontation, nodded and said softly, "Okay."

"It's a deal." Karin Uzumaki, fearing Shion might return, quickly said, "If you break your promise, I will definitely speak ill of you in front of Yoruichi!"

"I understand," Ziyuan replied perfunctorily, her clone dissipating into countless points of light.

As Ziyuan's clone dissipated, the Netherworld Legion surrounding the jungle also sank into the ground and disappeared.

"Damn it!" Karin Uzumaki clenched her fist and slammed it against a tree trunk.

The big tree collapsed with a loud crash.

Hinata Hyuga deactivated his Byakugan, put away his longbow, gathered the arrows scattered around, and returned to Karin Uzumaki, saying, "I remember the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is behind us. Let's set off as soon as possible and take her down."

Kurama Yakumo climbed down from Uzumaki Karin's back and asked timidly, "Will Yoruichi-sensei be angry if we act secretly?"

"Anyway, Yoruichi-nii is going to catch the Jinchuriki. If anything happens, just betray Shion." Hinata Hyuga clenched his fists tightly, looked into the distance, and said, "We can't let that guy win!"

"Let's set off tonight and take down the target as soon as possible!" Karin Uzumaki was also seething with anger, eager to vent it immediately. She clenched her fists and said, "I hope the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is tough enough!"

Kurama Yakumo tried to persuade them to no avail, so he had no choice but to follow the two women back the way they came to find the Takigakure team.

Chapter 263 Jinchūriki: Why are you hitting me when you're all fighting over a girl?

In the morning, Yagami Yoruichi opened his eyes feeling refreshed.

But as soon as she woke up, she received memories from her clone and learned some bad news.

While Yagami Yoruichi was holding Yuhi Kurenai and falling into a deep sleep, the squad containing the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed Jinchuriki was attacked and all members were captured alive.

The ones who made the move were four of Yagami Yoruichi's students.

Because Yagami Yoruichi's clone was watching closely, Yagami Yoruichi quickly figured out the cause and effect.

Suddenly, Yagami Yoruichi had a strange expression on his face.

"These guys are really messing around!" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but cover her face.

A few little girls got into a fight over a man and ended up capturing the Jinchūriki of another village?

If this gets out, Yagami Yoruichi will become famous in the ninja world.

He is not famous because of his strength.

Instead, her scandalous affairs spread throughout the entire ninja world.

In any world, gossip and scandals spread very quickly, especially the scandals of 'big shots,' which can spread throughout the world in a very short time.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't want to become known to everyone in the ninja world because of this.

"Let the clone handle it as soon as possible."

"Honestly, he can't stay still for a moment."

Yagami Yoruichi cursed inwardly, but when he glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, who was still fast asleep beside him, a smile appeared on his face.

After such a long and drawn-out process, it has finally come to fruition.

"A demigod-level physique is truly formidable."

As Yagami Yoruichi recalled Kurenai Yuhi's desperate pleas for mercy the previous night, a surge of pride welled up within him.

"Let the clone handle things over there for now."

Yagami Yoruichi formed hand seals, created several clones, and sent them out. Then, she got out of bed to wash up and prepare breakfast.

Having just achieved their happy ending, Yagami Yoruichi has no desire to part ways with Yuhi Kurenai.

Even if it's a big problem, as long as it doesn't exceed the clone's ability limit, just let the clone handle it.

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Yoruichi Yagami's clones brought back two teams from Sunagakure and Takigakure.

Tsunade was not there; it was Shizune sitting at the Hokage's desk, handling documents.

Seeing the group of unconscious examinees brought back by Yagami Yoruichi, Shizune couldn't help but ask, "Yoruichi-sama, what happened?"

"There was a slight mishap, the plan might have to start ahead of schedule." Yagami Yoruichi asked, "Is Tsunade still sleeping?"

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Shizune's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she said apologetically, "Tsunade-sama had a few drinks last night..."

Since becoming Hokage, Tsunade has toned down her behavior considerably.

Not only did he go to casinos much less often, but he also reduced his drinking habits considerably.

But habits formed over many years are not so easy to change.

He usually tries his best to endure for the sake of the 'image of Hokage'.

But when she really can't resist, Tsunade will still use her transformation technique to sneak into the casino, or have Shizune buy a lot of alcohol to drink at home.

For some time now, teams from various ninja villages have been coming to Konoha, and Tsunade has been enduring it so as not to embarrass the village.

When the Chunin Exams were in their second round and all the village teams had left, she could no longer hold back.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't find this strange at all; it was indeed in line with Tsunade's personality.

"If Tsunade isn't here..." Yagami Yoichi originally wanted to leave all the miscellaneous tasks here to Tsunade.

However, Tsunade is not here, and judging from her appearance, she is probably completely drunk and won't be able to sober up for a while.

Then we'll have to find someone else.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi realized that Konoha didn't seem to have any good candidates at the moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi retired, and Danzo Shimura was killed by Yoruichi Yagami.

Mitokado Enoki and Utahara Koharu were also forced to relinquish their power.

The only one who could be considered a Hokage advisor or assistant was Yagami Yoruichi, who was not officially a member of Konoha.

As for Shizune, although she often helps Tsunade with political affairs and wields considerable power, she lacks formal status and is somewhat weak, unable to control the representatives of other ninja villages.

In particular, the Fourth Kazekage personally came to Konoha.

Sending just any Jonin to negotiate is simply impossible.

Yoruichi Yagami wouldn't mind initiating a ninja war right now and annexing other ninja villages.

However, launching multiple battles simultaneously would consume a significant amount of Yoruichi Yagami's energy.

In Yagami Yoruichi's plan, the Chunin Exams period was meant to delay the various forces in the ninja world as much as possible, giving Yagami Yoruichi ample time to deal with the Akatsuki organization's troubles.

Especially Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha, who were extremely good at escaping and saving their lives.

If she fails the first time, Yoruichi Yagami isn't sure if she can catch them again.

"That..."

Shizune looked at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "Tsunade-sama said that if there is any situation that I cannot handle, Yoruichi-sama, you can make the decision yourself."

"I only contacted her because I didn't want any trouble," Yagami Yoruichi rolled her eyes.
