Chapter 185 Nono in the Bathhouse, the Kuja Pirates Become Famous (First and Second Updates)

Night falls.

Konoha Village, on the contrary, lit up.

The streets and alleys were filled with lights and densely packed villagers and ninjas participating in the New Year festival.

Natsuki and the others hadn't set off yet; they were changing into kimonos at home.

"Natsuki."

Yakushi Nonou looked at the wardrobe and asked, "Which kimono would suit me best?"

"They all look good."

Xia Mu stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

Yakushi Nonou felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and tears.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, sensing the contrast in her demeanor.

She's usually very gentle.

"Let's go to the New Year's festival first."

Xia Mu withdrew his hand from her clothes.

"Um.

""

Yakushi Nonou responded and took out a black kimono from the wardrobe.

She turned around and handed the kimono to Natsuki.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback, then accepted the kimono.

Yakushi Nonou looked at him with a shy smile on her face.

Then she reached out her hand.

Her clothes slipped to the ground, revealing her snow-white, graceful body to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu couldn't help but recall her melodious voice and supple skin from last night.

Seeing his unwavering gaze, Yakushi Nonou was both happy and shy, and lowered her head.

But she spread her arms wide.

Xia Mu immediately understood.

This is to ask him to help me put on a kimono.

Her completely naked state was a great test for him.

With terrifying willpower, Natsuki helped her put on the kimono.

"Thanks."

"Yakushi Nonou said softly."

"Wait for me a moment."

Natsuki returned to her room and quickly changed into a kimono.

The two people went out the door.

Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki, and Nawaki had all changed into kimonos and were waiting for them.

Natsuki subconsciously looked at Tsunade.

She was wearing a white kimono.

But the key point is that even in a kimono, she still has a full, curvaceous figure.

In comparison, Kushina Uzumaki seems rather unremarkable.

Of course, she wasn't really unremarkable; it's just that the loose fit of the traditional kimono made her less noticeable.

"Set off!"

Rope Tree waved his hand and said.

The five people immediately left the Senju clan's territory.

Once you step onto the street, a lively, bustling atmosphere greets you.

The ubiquitous snacks and the hustle and bustle from all directions combined to immerse everyone in the atmosphere of the New Year festival.

"Let's go try that!"

Kushina Uzumaki grabbed Natsuki's hand and walked towards a nearby food stall.

Yakushi Nonou calmly followed.

"Watergate!"

Rope Tree suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away and quickly shouted.

Minato Namikaze instinctively turned his head.

He was accompanied by Jiraiya, Kae Uzumaki, and Suzaku Inuya.

"Oh, Tsunade, what a coincidence."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up when he saw Tsunade, and he quickly said something.

"I don't want to do anything at today's New Year's festival, so you better behave yourself."

Tsunade immediately warned.

"I'm not that kind of person."

Jiraiya said without changing his expression.

"One skewer of grilled meat per person."

Natsuki reappears with Yakushi Nonou and Uzumaki Kushina.

"Thanks."

Rope Tree immediately took a skewer of grilled meat.

Where is your teacher?

After Jiraiya took the grilled meat, he asked...

"We weren't with him."

Xia Mu shook his head and replied.

"Let me see where he is."

Nawaki looked around and began searching for Orochimaru.

Seeing this, Xia Mu activated his Observation Haki.

"He definitely hasn't arrived yet."

Tsunade took a bite of the grilled meat and said, "He's the Hokage. If he comes, it will most likely cause a sensation."

That makes sense.

Upon hearing this, Nawaki stopped looking for Orochimaru and focused on dealing with the yakiniku.

Xia Mu nodded.

Orochimaru did not come.

He couldn't find the Observation Haki, but he did find Uchiha Mikoto.

She was shopping with several female ninjas from the Uchiha clan.

"Never mind him, let's keep shopping."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

Upon hearing this, the group continued walking forward.

Not long after, they heard a cheer erupt in the distance.

"Are you a teacher?"

Rope Tree glanced over instinctively.

But the distance was too far, and there were people everywhere, so he couldn't see Orochimaru at all.

"It's him."

Xia Mu activated his Observation Haki, pinpointed Orochimaru's location, and said, "Let's go."

The group walked over.

Orochimaru quickly shook off the enthusiastic villagers and ninjas and reunited with them.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go have a big meal!"

Tsunade declared heartily, "The best thing is to drink until we drop!"

"Can I drink alcohol?"

Rope Tree asked with an expectant look on his face.

"You can't drink it!"

Tsunade glared at him and said.

Why?

Nawaki's expression froze. He said, "I'm old enough to drink now!"

"You are a ninja."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she realized that this reason was unreliable, so she insisted, "Anyway, you're not going to drink it!"

"It's okay, we can just drink soda."

Xia Mu smiled and said.

He could understand Tsunade's thoughts.

It was simply because they were afraid that Rope Tree would develop an alcohol addiction.

Drinking alcohol, especially during missions, can easily lead to trouble.

As for why Tsunade is so hypocritical, not requiring herself to abstain from alcohol, that's just human nature.

After all, self-discipline is too difficult.

However, Natsuki also felt that it would be better if Rope Tree didn't drink.

Orochimaru also did not speak up for Nawaki.

Compared to Tsunade and Jiraiya, he was a truly excellent ninja, strictly adhering to the ninja code.

I only drink a little alcohol symbolically when the two of them drag me to a meal together.

Since it's a New Year's festival, we definitely can't go to an izakaya (Japanese pub) to drink like we usually do.

The group strolled around the streets and bought a variety of snacks and food.

In the end, they found a food stall and sat together, just like Xia Mu ate barbecue in his previous life, very casually.

Night was falling.

The New Year festival is coming to an end.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were both very drunk.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, frowned deeply.

Because Jiraiya, after getting drunk, kept putting his arm around his shoulder and talking nonsense.

Tsunade is similar.

But she was taken care of by Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi.

"teacher."

Xia Mu glanced around and asked, "The New Year's festival is about to end, shall we go back now?"

"Return."

Orochimaru succinctly stated, "I will escort Jiraiya."

If this continues, Jiraiya will go on a drunken rampage, which will be even more troublesome.

"I'm leaving Tsunade in your care. Be careful."

Orochimaru gave an order and then helped Jiraiya leave.

Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi, along with Tsunade, returned to the Senju clan's residence.

"See you tomorrow."

Natsuki waved and went home with Yakushi Nonou.

Kushina Uzumaki lived at Tsunade's house.

Xia Mu casually closed the door and looked at Yakushi Nonou.

"What's wrong?"

Yakushi Nonou glanced down but didn't notice anything amiss.

"Let's go take a shower together."

Xia Mu said with a big smile.

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou was stunned for a moment, and then a blush appeared on her face.

But she didn't refuse; instead, she nodded.

Xia Mu pulled her along and led her to the bathroom.

Hot water was poured into the bathtub, and steam immediately rose up.

It is January, and Konoha Village is in winter.

Natsuki walked up to Yakushi Nonou and extended her hand.

Her kimono was removed, and her bound, snow-white body was exposed to the air.

After admiring it for a moment, Xia Mu stepped into the bathtub.

He looked at Yakushi Nonou.

Yakushi Nonou blushed, bit her lip lightly, and then lifted her long legs to enter the bathtub.

She quickly sat down, and the hot water soaked her snow-white skin, leaving only her shoulders and half of her curves visible above the water.

"I'll help you wash."

Xia Mu stepped forward and embraced her soft, fragrant body.

Yakushi Nonou's heart skipped a beat.

She soon felt Xia Mu's hands applying shower gel to various parts of her body.

He applied the ointment very carefully, leaving no inch of skin untouched.

Yakushi Nonou felt her mind go blank, and her eyes became dazed.

She straightened her body, raised her head, her chin and neck forming a curve, and then subconsciously reached out and pressed Xia Mu's head into her arms.

Xia Mu let out a breath and continued to help her clean.

An hour later, after being thoroughly cleaned inside and out, Yakushi Nono was carried out of the bathroom by Natsuki.

She had fallen into a deep sleep because she had been soaking in the water for too long.

The New Year holiday went by quickly.

Xia Mu hasn't been cultivating these past few days; he's just been playing around.

Yakushi Nonou also led a very fulfilling life, seemingly never touching the ground.

After the holiday, apart from Kushina Uzumaki, Natsuki and the others started working again for the new year.

Xia Mu first arrived at the Dark Division base.

Even during the New Year, the Dark Unit, as an intelligence agency, does not have all its members taking a break; one-third of its members will still be working.

However, the rotation system does not mean that these one-third of the members work the entire New Year holiday in a fixed manner.

After sitting down, Xia Mu began to look at the intelligence on the table.

The first piece of intelligence he was most concerned about was related to Shennong.

He has left Konoha and returned to Sora Village.

According to the underworld's investigation, he is preparing to create Zero Tail and has captured many villagers from the surrounding area.

Zero-Tails is composed of dark chakra.

The so-called dark chakra is essentially Yin Release.

Because dark chakra originates from the darkness deep within people's hearts, simply put, it is negative emotions.

The villagers captured by Shennong will be used as batteries for the tail.

By tormenting them and inducing negative emotions in them, we can provide energy for Zero Tail.

The second piece of intelligence is related to the Kuja Pirates.

The Anbu reported that a Kuja Pirates crew had appeared in the Land of Water, robbing passing ships and causing considerable damage to the Land of Water and Kirigakure.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

It looks like he'll be able to unlock the Sweet Fruit soon.

After all, even the Konoha Anbu already knew about the Kuja Pirates.

On the other hand, as the Kuja Pirates' fame grows, Kirigakure will definitely not tolerate their existence.

Because the Land of Water is the territory of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

The Kuja Pirates' actions are undoubtedly a slap in the face to Kirigakure.

Moreover, if the Land of Water suffers too much damage, it will alarm the daimyo of the Land of Water.

It goes without saying who the Daimyo of the Land of Water will send to deal with the Kuja Pirates.

After reading the remaining information, Xia Mu opened a spatial portal.

The next second, he appeared in the captain's cabin of the Kuja Pirates.

What comes into view are the three great snake princesses: Ichikishima-hime, Takitsu-hime, and Takoshi-hime, all looking very relaxed.

Princess Ichikishima lay on the bed, her soft, boneless legs swinging wildly.

Princess Tsurugi lay on the sofa, a book floating in front of her.

The book is titled "Teach You to Understand Human Males."

Only Princess Tianxin sat cross-legged on the carpet, cultivating with her eyes closed.

"————?"

Xia Mu's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "You three really know how to enjoy yourselves."

"Owner!"

Princess Ichikishima twitched her nose and immediately leaped up.

She flew to him immediately.

Princess Tsurugi put away the book, and Princess Wada Shinjin stood up together and bowed to Natsuki.

Xia Mu turned his head to the side.

Princess Ichikishima missed her target; her snow-white jade feet flew past his eyes.

"What's the current situation with the Kuja Pirates?"

Xia Mu stepped forward, sat on the sofa, and asked.

"Very good."

Princess Tsurugi knelt down and massaged his legs, saying, "Now half of the Land of Water knows about our Kuja Pirates."

"Those humans all regarded us as saviors, and every time they saw us, they would kneel down to welcome us."

77

Princess Ichikishima landed in front of Natsuki and then spoke.

Xia Mu wasn't surprised.

The Kuja Pirates primarily provide relief to the poor and slaves of the Land of Water.

They were living in despair, and the Kuja Pirates were no different from saviors to them.

"Anything else?"

Xia Mu asked again.

"Both the Land of Water and Kirigakure have their eyes on us."

Princess Tianxin said indifferently, "But they don't pose a threat to us for the time being."

"None of the ninjas sent by Kirigakure to deal with us are a match for us!"

Princess Ichikishima said with a smile, "Master, we are very capable, you don't need to worry about us!"

"The Hidden Mist Village has not yet shown its true strength."

2

Xia Mu shook his head and said.

"Even if the Third Mizukage comes, we are not afraid."

Princess Ichikishima retorted, unconvinced.

"You may not be afraid, but what about the others?"

Xia Mu glared at her, raised his hand, and slapped her on the buttocks.

"Master, if you want to hit me, you can hit me a few more times."

Princess Ichikishima paused for a moment, then said shyly.

As she spoke, she turned around, revealing her pert little bottom.

"I can do it too!"

Princess Tsuratsu immediately pushed Princess Ichikishima away and said…

Princess Tianxin was at a loss for words.

She didn't quite understand what was going on with her two younger sisters.

As one of the three great snake princesses, she was chosen by the White Snake Sage when she was young, and she has never had a partner.

They don't need it either.

But why is he so concerned about Natsuki now?

Could it be the effect of a blood curse?

"That's enough. I came here to warn you to be careful of Kirigakure."

Xia Mu frowned and said, "Notify me as soon as you discover any major moves by Kirigakure."

After he finished speaking, he opened the portal and returned to the Hokage Building.

The New Year holiday had just ended, and he had work to do, so he didn't have time to play with them.

Besides that, the most significant action taken by the Akatsuki since its founding was the attack on Amegakure.

Xia Mu walked into his office.

He pushed open the door and saw Uchiha Mikoto.

"Good morning, Natsuki."

Uchiha Mikoto stood up and called out softly.

"Mikoto."

Xia Mu nodded and asked curiously, "Is there something important that you came to see me so early in the morning?"

'

"It's nothing serious."

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "I've come to give you a New Year's gift."

"You're still so thoughtful."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"It's not an expensive gift, just a token of my appreciation."

Uchiha Mikoto quickly said.

After she finished speaking, she took out a protective charm.

"This is a talisman I bought when I went to the shrine to pray for blessings."

Mikoto Uchiha held the amulet in both hands and presented it to him, saying, "I hope you won't find it offensive."

Xia Mu lowered his gaze to her hands.

Her fingers were round and fair, and looked smooth and soft.

Her nails were short and clean, without any nail polish.

Xia Mu reached out and grabbed her right hand.

Mikoto Uchiha was momentarily stunned.

She could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Xia Mu's palm.

"Natsu—Natsuki?"

Mikoto Uchiha's heart raced, her eyelashes trembling with nervousness, but she didn't pull her hand away, letting him hold it.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about what New Year's gift to give you in return."

Xia Mu accepted the amulet without changing his expression and said...

Mikoto Uchiha withdrew her hand, and her hands unconsciously clasped together.

Suppressing her unease, she said softly, "No—it's alright, you don't need to return the favor."

"I've already thought of a return gift."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "Your hands are beautiful. I'll give you a bottle of nail polish later."

"Thanks."

Mikoto Uchiha hesitated for a moment, but could only say something in the end.

She was a traditional female ninja.

In her opinion, wearing nail polish is too flashy.

But since Xia Mu wanted to give her nail polish, she couldn't very well refuse.

"I'll give it to you once I've bought it."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

"Um.

""

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and said, "I'm going back to work now. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, she fled from Xia Mu's office as if she were escaping.

The door was closed.

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't help but pat her chest.

She took a deep breath and looked at her right hand.

Mikoto Uchiha blushed, quickly shook her head, and suppressed her chaotic thoughts.

Natsuki looked down at the amulet that Uchiha Mikoto had given him.

This is a peace charm.

Because it says "Safe travels" on it.

After putting away the amulet and finishing his work, Natsuki arrived at the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

"Ms. Natsuki!"

Upon seeing him, Yahiko said, "We've already finalized our battle plan!"

Xia Mu took the battle plan and began to read it.

Simply put, it can be summed up in four words: feint to the east while attacking in the west.

Yahiko planned to have Akatsuki Jonin infiltrate Amegakure ahead of time to sabotage important locations.

In that case, the ninjas of Amegakure will have to travel around.

The remaining Akatsuki members could then take advantage of the chaos to attack Amegakure.

"good."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "Let's proceed according to this battle plan. The date is set for tomorrow."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki!"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Yahiko said with great joy.

Nagato, Ice Maiden, and the others also showed expressions of anticipation.

This was, after all, the first time that the Akatsuki organization had mobilized all its members.

"Teacher Natsuki."

Suddenly remembering something, Yahiko asked, "Didn't you say you were going to introduce us to the other members of Akatsuki?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch them."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.
