"He is not someone who only knows how to rush forward. On the contrary, he is surprisingly meticulous. He was originally the top ninja in Takigakure, but only he himself knows the specifics."

It must be said that Haley has a very high opinion of her younger brother.

However, for Yue Shu and his team, the stronger the opponent, the greater the pressure on their side.

"He is not a reckless person, but surprisingly thoughtful."

Yue Shu silently recited.

Perhaps this Black Feather isn't so simple, Tsukiki thought to herself.

Just think about it from the perspective of the moon tree.

If the opponent's level is the same as the one that just attacked, then Tsukiki's side will hardly face any pressure.

Jiraiya's small team alone is enough to hold off the enemy; if the ninjas from Takigakure are added, then everything will be easily solved.

But Tsukiki doesn't think so.

This mission will definitely not be as easy as we imagine.

Why, you ask?

Very simple.

Because just recently, the system's electronic voice popped up again.

It's another new task, but the two tasks are connected.

"Mission triggered: Contact the energy within the Chakra Fruit. Reward for completing the mission: One lottery draw."

This is another mission related to this task, and it also proves that the so-called miniature divine tree fruit really exists.

The fruit of the Divine Tree, which was unknown to anyone in the original work, has now appeared in a low-end version. However, in the face of the system, Tsukiki has no choice but to believe this incredible thing.

"Himegami Tsukiju?"

As Yue Shu was thinking, Hui's voice came from the side.

"Ok?"

Yue Shu turned to look at Hui, not knowing why Hui had called out to him.

"Sorry, I was just asking."

Hui smiled and apologized.

Yue Shu paid no attention, continuing to think about her own affairs, unaware of the glint in Hui's eyes.

That gaze was fixed on Yue Shu, but Yue Shu paid no attention.

The carriage moved slowly, with Minato Namikaze and Nami Kotoko constantly taking turns guarding it. Tsukiki, as always, lazily hid inside the carriage, while Jiraiya, on the contrary, was miserably on guard outside.

The carriage traveled for several more days, stopping and starting along the way, until they finally arrived at the so-called Takigakure village.

Takigakure is situated within a waterfall, with the cascading waterfall serving as its entrance. This is precisely why Takigakure, despite being located in the heart of four countries, has remained untouched by war.

This isolated village reminded Yue Shu of the so-called Peach Blossom Spring.

"Go in."

Hui said something and led Yue Shu into the waterfall.

Even Jiraiya, who traveled everywhere, did not discover it, and was unaware that there was a ninja village in this place.

The village nestled within the waterfall is quite eye-catching; aside from Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze, Kushina and Mikoto are clearly excited.

"Wow, that's amazing! There's even a village inside the waterfall."

"That's amazing."

The two women looked around in surprise. All around them was greenery, and in the distance stood a small house.

It has to be said that it felt like entering a new world. After crossing the water, what I saw was a community, and the scent of human life slowly spread over me.

"Your Highness, you're back."

"Welcome back, Your Highness."

To Yue Shu's surprise, everyone else was also looking at Hui.

The villagers came out one after another to greet her, and Hui was highly respected among them.

The people here greeted Hui with smiles, calling her Princess Hui.

Hui claims to be the guardian of the Chakra Fruit, but her status in Takigakure is surprisingly high.

Yue Shu and the others followed Hui, and the villagers treated them with the same enthusiasm.

Soon, Yue Shu and her group were settled in their accommodations.

"I hope you have a pleasant stay here."

Hui disappeared after saying those words, supposedly because she had something more important to do. These words were to be told to Yue Shu and the others by Hei Li.

"Alright, little ones."

Jiraiya's team gathered together, and Jiraiya began to speak.

"The next mission has been upgraded to an A-rank mission: to help Kuchiki Kei protect the Chakra Fruit. Ms. Kuchiki has also agreed to increase the reward. So, what's next?"

Jiraiya kept it a secret.

"You guys go do your own thing, I'm going to wander around and see if there are any pretty girls."

Jiraiya suddenly started acting strangely, causing Tsukiki and the others to get nervous for no reason.

After taking revenge on Jiraiya, Jiraiya started to act much more seriously.

"You all know that Miss Kuchiki is the guardian of the Chakra Fruit, but she is also the Takikage of Takigakure. She manages the entire village. Your job is to protect Miss Kuchiki's safety on a regular basis."

Jiraiya spoke slowly.

"Mr. Haley will take you to find Ms. Hisachiki next. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya suddenly emitted a puff of smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This guy."

Yue Shu and her group were speechless, but there was nothing they could do; they had no choice but to accept this teacher.

A little while later, just as Jiraiya had said, Kuroko led Tsukiki and the others to find Kei.

Jiraiya's squad's A-rank mission has officially begun.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Onslaught

"Could it be that Hui is actually a very capable woman?"

Looking at Hui, who was organizing the village affairs in an orderly manner, Yue Shu couldn't help but ask her three teammates beside her a question.

Kushina and the others didn't say anything, but gave Tsukiki a look.

Yue Shu suddenly felt three pairs of eyes staring at him, as if he were the only one who had asked an idiotic question.

This feeling welled up inside her, and Tsukiki suddenly felt a little ashamed.

However, he extinguished that feeling in just a moment.

In my past life, I was a shut-in. Although I wouldn't say I had a very thick skin, I was at least quite immune to the attacks of other people's eyes.

While they were still exchanging glances, Hui finally finished making the arrangements.

Seeing Yue Shu and the others gathered together, Hui also came over.

"What are you doing?"

Hui asked, her smile gentle.

Yes, it's a typical older sister smile, very gentle, that's the kind of feeling she gives off.

"It's nothing. You go do your thing, we're your bodyguards now."

Kushina had the air of a big sister.

It looks like a blood-red chili pepper, and with the three of them beside her, it has a bit of a boss lady vibe.

Hui seemed to have noticed this as well, and smiled gently again.

"Then I'll leave it to you, bodyguards."

Hui was surprisingly down-to-earth, keeping up with Kushina's pace and following along with her words.

Kushina was also excited and nodded emphatically.

The three of them glanced at each other and shrugged.

Well, for now, I'll just stick with Kushina for a bit.

And so began the life of the four bodyguards, including Tsukiki.

Hui is not only the guardian of the Chakra Fruit, but also the manager of the village.

The people of Takigakure are isolated from the world and have little contact with it; they still hold many primitive ways of thinking.

This requires wisdom to guide and teach.

Two days passed slowly, and Hui continued working as usual, with Yue Shu and the other three staying by her side.

As her bodyguards, Yue Shu and the other three clearly witnessed what Hui had been doing over the past two days.

To use the words of the Moon Tree's previous incarnation.

Hui truly deserves the title of "strong woman".

The past two days have been unusually calm, which has made Yue Shu and the other three feel a little strange.

They were acting as bodyguards to protect Hui, who was acting as a guardian, but Kuroba, who coveted the Chakra Fruit, had been hiding for two days.

Using common sense, it's clear that he wasn't just lazing around like Yue Shu these past two days; he was actually plotting something.

However, Yue Shu and the others had no way of knowing this, and they didn't even know when the enemy would attack.

Yue Shu remembers that in her past life there was a law called Murphy's Law.

The gist of it is that bad things, no matter how small the probability, will happen anyway.
