Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Yubi has been consciously interacting with the characters in the Sunagakure storyline.

However, it's difficult for someone like Granny Chiyo or the Kazekage, who is a descendant of a commoner ninja, to get close to them.

Scorpions, on the other hand, almost never leave their homes... or are always out on missions.

Therefore, the only people Yubin could recognize were characters like Yekura.

However, as a descendant of a bloodline limit, Yekura is also a "tool" that Sunagakure values ​​highly, and her family plays an important role in Sunagakure.

Her father was able to participate in the decision-making of Sunagakure.

Strictly speaking, Yekura is different from Yubi.

She was not from a commoner background.

In any major ninja village, including Konoha, clans with bloodline limits can hold a place in the village... their influence is incomparable to that of ordinary ninjas.

For example, the Hyuga, Uchiha, and Kurama clans of Konoha. Although the Kurama clan has gradually declined, they used to have a lot of influence in Konoha.

Then there are families that possess some secret techniques, such as the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi families.

The clan power structure in Sunagakure is not as complex as that in Konoha, but the principle is the same. Among the village's high-ranking members, the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Rasa are both representatives of sand manipulation techniques; the Chiyo family symbolizes puppeteers... then there are the leaders of the bloodline limit clans, and finally... there are the few commoner ninjas or the leaders of commoner clans in the village.

These elements together formed the power group within Sunagakure.

The Yekura family is also among them.

Before Yekura even entered the Ninja Academy, Yubi recognized her and deliberately approached her, finding an opportunity to make contact, thus establishing their acquaintance.

"I heard you successfully completed the mission... Congratulations!"

Yecang walked up to Yubi and said shyly.

"Have you eaten yet? If not... let's eat together, it's on me!" Yubi said with a smile.

"it is good."

Yekura nodded happily.

Then, the two went into the shop and sat down at the counter.

The boss also began to warmly greet the two kids.

Throughout the conversation, Yubi chatted and laughed with Yekura, briefly recounting his experiences on missions. Of course, he omitted some of the more dangerous and bloody details.

He merely expressed that he felt a sense of novelty about his first mission outside the village.

Yekura listened with great interest.

Still a student at the Ninja Academy, she was unaware of the cruelty of being a ninja... and the danger of this Ninja World War.

Her family and village protected her very well... She had not yet become a formal ninja, so naturally she was very curious about everything outside.

In the future, Yekura will become the "Hidden Mist Killer," making a name for herself in the ninja world with her Scorch Release technique.

However, during the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure offended too many forces and was caught in a pincer attack by Iwagakure and Kirigakure. As a result, Sunagakure had to abandon its confrontation with Kirigakure and focus on the battlefield against Iwagakure. Pakura was sacrificed as a result.

Rasa and other high-ranking officials also lied that Yekura was killed by Iwagakure, thus inciting the village's anger towards Iwagakure... Even after her death, she was used.

The later Ye Cang was steady in character, extremely ruthless towards enemies, and utterly loyal.

However, she is still just an innocent and naive little girl, retaining a pure and adorable personality.

"I really want to graduate soon... Staying in school is so boring. I already know everything the teachers teach." Yecang stuffed a skewer of radish oden into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and complained.

She also longed to be like Yubi, fighting on the battlefield and serving the village.

Let those enemies see the might of the Sand Village ninja.

"Don't worry... I believe that with your skills, Xiao Yecang, you will eventually become a ninja and start to shine." Yubi kept eating skewers of dumplings, enjoying them, with some soup still on her lips, and casually comforted her.

Yubi called himself Little Leaf Warehouse.

Yekura blushed. "Tch, you're not that much older than me... Don't act like an elder."

"But I am older than you... To me, you are like a little sister."

Yubi winked mischievously.

"Hmph! My father said that a ninja's success isn't measured by age... Many powerful ninjas became famous at a very young age. In a few years, I'll definitely surpass you!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Yubi nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I heard... you did this mission with that guy."

Suddenly, Ye Cang's expression changed, and he muttered to himself.

"A scorpion?"

Yubi knew who she was referring to.

"I heard he has a strange personality...and is difficult to get along with." Yekura was a bit gossipy.

"Um…"

Yubi held a wooden stick in her hand, pondered for a moment, then shook it. "That's not true. Don't listen to other people's nonsense... Scorpion is fine."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's eyes widened. "Don't lie to me. I've seen him before... I always felt that he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, which made me very uncomfortable."

After saying that, Ye Cang realized what she meant, "That's right... Someone like you, in your eyes, should be someone who has no difficulties, always wearing a smiling face to everyone..."

"Isn't this wonderful... Don't you like me this way?"

Yubi raised a row of bright white teeth.

His sudden question caused Yekura's face to turn red at a visible speed.

"You you you you..."

He even started to stutter when he spoke.

"Don't get me wrong... I'm not confessing my feelings to you. I've been there, and I know that girls like you, just starting out at the ninja academy, are at that age where their hearts are just beginning to flutter. But in my eyes, you're just a little sister..." Seeing Kanekura's reaction, Yubi's lips twitched, and she coughed. "What are you thinking about all day? You don't happen to have someone you like at school, do you? Or is someone like you?"

His words only made things worse; Ye Cang's face instantly turned into a teapot of bubbles.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

The pitch of their voices rose several degrees.

She jumped off the bench, biting her lip and clenching her fists.

"Yakura".

Just then, a person suddenly appeared at the shop entrance.

He called out to Yekura, who was with Yubi.

"It's getting late, time to go home."

The Sand Villager urged them on.

Then, he nodded slightly at Yubi.

"snort!"

Yekura angrily shoved Yubi on the back of the head and turned away.

The person who came to pick up Yecang was her elder.

This wasn't the first time Yubi had met him.

It seemed like they just happened to be passing by and bumped into them... but in reality, they came specifically to take Yekura away.

In short, they didn't want Yekura and Yubi to have too much contact.

The reason is simple: Pakura's family held a high position in Sunagakure, while Yubi was just a commoner ninja; the two were not on the same level.

Because she is still young, Yekura's family will not interfere with her behavior too much, but as Yekura grows older, her freedom will become increasingly restricted in the future.

This practice also reflects the existence of class stratification within any major ninja village.

In the past, when this person took Yekura away, he wouldn't even give Yubi a second glance.

At least now they're nodding in acknowledgment.

I guess they heard some rumors.

This change in attitude is quite ironic.

"Such a temper; it seems I was right."

Yubi shook her head and continued eating.
