The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

Moreover, her style of doing things was completely different from the other girls. Without any girlish coquettishness or shyness, she directly gulped down a mouthful of soup and brought her whole face close.

That's right, she fed him with her mouth! This method was incredibly ingenious! It even exceeded the imagination of the girls present!

sluggish.

In an instant, all the girls stared in shock, disbelief, and astonishment at the two people with their lips meeting in a silent exchange. There were 643 ways to do that?! Truly worthy of being the eldest sister, she actually thought of such a method! This is simply too enviable… It's foul! This is foul!

Not to mention them, even Mugetsu was somewhat bewildered by Yecang's sudden action. It wasn't until the soup went down her throat that she gradually came to her senses.

Radishes, greens, cabbage, and wakame seaweed—this miso soup tastes really great!

Wuyue licked her lips, revealing an expression of lingering enjoyment.

The girls, witnessing this, exchanged glances, seemingly understanding what they needed to do. One by one, they stuffed their mouths with food. And so, a new round of feeding began…

And so, the peculiar and bizarre feeding scene began.

Gradually, Wuyue became completely absorbed in it, unable to extricate himself. He even lost the ability to distinguish the flavors of the various foods, simply indulging in the girl's soft lips and the delicate fragrance wafting from them.

248. The First Signs of Turbulence

The feeding activity lasted for a long time.

After all, although Wuyue is young, she is still a dragon. Her food requirements are beyond imagination. It's no exaggeration to say that she needs almost ten times the amount of a normal adult.

Therefore, feeding them bite by bite took an extraordinary amount of time and energy. Even though the women were all quite skilled ninjas, they all showed signs of exhaustion.

Fortunately, this should be the very last round. It still ends with Yekura. The two are face-to-face, sharing the same miso soup. The familiar recipe, the familiar taste. Only, some restless woman has added something to it.

After the soup was poured in, a slippery, mischievous little fish burrowed into Wuyue's mouth.

Uh.

As someone with experience, Mugetsu naturally knew what that "little fish" truly was. He just hadn't expected Yekura to be so proactive. Truly, she was worthy of being called a maid!

Of course, this clearly went beyond the act of "feeding," and only the two people involved knew the truth; the girls couldn't possibly see it clearly. It just seemed like the feeding time was a little too long.

Just as Rina opened her mouth, about to say something, a tall figure suddenly walked in from outside the tent. "Lord Mugetsu, I heard you've returned..." She stopped abruptly.

The newcomer was none other than Mugetsu's "prospective father-in-law," Yamanaka Inoichi. However, he was completely stunned by what he was seeing, his eyes glazed and bewildered. What the hell? Doing this in broad daylight?

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. Reward: 50 days of cultivation points and 5 years of dragon growth cycle."

At this awkward moment, Wu Yue's mind was suddenly filled with the system's notification sound.

"Sorry, I've disturbed you." Realizing what he had done, Yamanaka Inoichi prepared to take his leave. Kids these days are too avant-garde; he certainly couldn't accept this kind of thing.

"Wait, Senior Haiyi." Wuyue quickly called out to him. "What is it? Just say it. My business here, cough cough, is finished."

He didn't offer any explanation. Because these things are simply inexplicable. Just looking at the scene, would anyone believe they were just feeding the animals? So let's be practical and get straight to the point. M

"Well, alright." Seeing that he couldn't escape, Yamanaka Ino had no choice but to turn around with a stiff upper lip. "This is a letter that Lord Orochimaru had to give you before he left."

"A letter?" Wuyue took the envelope from the other person, a look of confusion on her face. "No, you mean... Orochimaru has already left?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Yamanaka Inoichi paused for a moment, then said, "It seems he received an urgent document from the Hokage's office, so he left on the day you departed."

Holy crap! What the hell happened on the day I set off?!

At this moment, Wuyue was at a loss for words. How confident was she in the success of the peace talks? What if they fought again? Or what if she died?

Wait a minute! If we look at it another way, what if Orochimaru had to leave the front lines because of something more important? What if he didn't even care whether the entire Hidden Mist battlefield was at war or peace? Then that makes sense!

But what could possibly make him have such thoughts?

With this thought in mind, Wuyue opened the envelope. Her initially puzzled face turned ashen, filled with anger and disbelief.

As one of the few people who knew him best, Yui naturally understood that the contents of this letter were anything but simple. She quickly asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"

"I need to get back to Konoha as soon as possible." Letting out a long breath, Mugetsu said in an extremely serious tone, "That bastard Danzo is planning to betray us!"

……

……

Konoha, main gate.

Unlike the usual hustle and bustle.

At this moment, nearly a hundred Konoha ninja stood with their hands behind their backs on both sides of the main street. Their faces were solemn and dignified, and their gazes were fixed straight ahead on the opposite side.

The other civilians, and even the ninjas who had retired from the battlefield and were currently idle, were all stopped behind these Konoha guards. Their expressions varied, ranging from curiosity and doubt to anticipation and joy, with countless eyes fixed on the main gate.

At this point, not only the high-ranking ninjas who knew some of the inside story, but even the common people who knew nothing about the affairs of the ninja world, understood that some very important figure was about to arrive. Didn't they see that even the Hokage, the ruler of a village, personally came out to greet him?

Kushina was also among the bustling crowd, her gaze also fixed on the direction of the gate.

She knew very well what kind of people would be coming to Konoha today. Her own boyfriend, her long-lost lover, would also be entering the village at the same time. This should have been a joyous and celebratory occasion.

However, her expression was completely different from that of the expectant crowd. She seemed lost in thought, as if considering something else entirely. She appeared somewhat absent-minded.

Anyone with even a little experience in relationships would notice this: her heart is in turmoil! She's entangled with someone or something. She's hesitant and conflicted. And that person's name is Yuhi Mugetsu!

249. Complex feelings

Since Mugetsu's parting confession a few days ago, Kushina has felt that her life has been completely disrupted.

Her first thought was to refuse. A firm, decisive refusal. But after a day of respite, she hesitated. If she really refused, could they truly return to their former sibling relationship? What if they became complete strangers? Wouldn't she go crazy?

But, should I say yes? No, absolutely not! I already have Minato! How could I possibly fall for someone else? Wouldn't that make me a bad girl?

Tangled!

These past few days, Kushina has been truly caught in a state of inner turmoil. The most terrifying thing is that she wasn't angry or upset that Mugetsu's feelings for her went beyond the sibling boundary. On the contrary, the deepest part of her heart was rejoicing and leaping with joy. One could even describe it as her heart bursting with happiness.

This is so strange! This is really strange!

As the day of Minato's return drew ever closer, Kushina wanted to temporarily banish Mugetsu's image from her mind so she could properly welcome her boyfriend. However, that wretched brat seemed to have taken root, firmly occupying half of her heart. He was simply impossible to erase.

Kushina even thought about when he would return every day. Was he alright in the Land of Water? Had he been injured in battle? Was he adapting well to the climate of that country?

Perhaps it's because Mugetsu is so young? Her feelings of longing clearly surpass her feelings for Minato Namikaze. In fact, at this moment, she's somewhat absent-minded.

"Hey! Coming, coming..."

"That...it seems to be Jiraiya-sama? And Minato-sama?"

"Is such a grand ceremony just to welcome them?"

"No. Although they won a great victory, the Hokage is going to welcome the Kage of Iwagakure this time. It's for the purpose of achieving true peace and diplomatic relations. Hmm, those walking in the middle of the procession are the people from Iwagakure."

"Ah, I see. That old man is the Earth Shadow? He looks so short!"

"Yes, the contrast with the big guy next to him is quite striking."

"Oh, that big guy is his son, Huang Tu! He's a pretty good ninja too; we suffered quite a few losses at his hands back then."

"Tsk! Despite being a defeated nation, they still have such arrogance on their faces? They have no shame!"

"Haha, maybe they're not used to accepting failure yet."

"Then let them fail a few more times! Once they get used to it, they won't show that expression anymore."

As the Iwa ninja delegation, led by Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, drew closer, the crowds on both sides of the street began to murmur amongst themselves. The Konoha guards did not intervene, allowing the gossip to reach the ears of the delegation members.

"Damn it! Those bastards from Konoha!" Huang Tu was clearly young and hot-blooded at this moment, clenching his teeth and trembling all over. He was furious.

Not only him, but the other Iwa ninja accompanying him also looked furious, glaring at their surroundings with hostility.

"Calm down." The Third Tsuchikage beside Huang Tu remained calm and composed. He said in a light tone, "Don't forget our purpose."

The word "purpose!" finally jolted Huang Tu out of his rage, allowing him to suppress his inner fire. "I understand, Father."

Unlike the displeasure and indignation of the Iwa ninja, Jiraiya and Minato showed joy and happiness at returning home, their faces beaming with smiles.

In particular, when Minato Namikaze saw that bright red figure in the crowd, his smile widened even more.

I've been away from home for almost two years, and although I sometimes come back intermittently, it's mostly in a rush, and I hardly stay for more than a few hours before leaving again.

This longing for his lover not only didn't ease, but actually grew stronger. Especially after Kushina wrote to him last time and mentioned the engagement, Minato Namikaze felt like he was floating on air.

Now, seeing his beloved again, he even wanted to throw caution to the wind, pick her up, and publicly express his love for Kushina.

However, his inherent self-discipline wouldn't allow Minato Namikaze to do that! He didn't even utter a sound. He simply gazed silently at her, silently repeating in his mind: Wait a little longer! Kushina, once the agreement signing process is complete, I'll come find you!

Kushina naturally saw the deep affection and fervor in his eyes. If it were before, she might have responded with equal devotion. But now, she felt somewhat guilty and evasive, even hesitant to look Minato in the eye for long.

Under these strange circumstances, the peace delegation and Konoha's high-ranking officials, including the Third Hokage, got along well and headed towards Konoha's main assembly hall.

Well, after all, we need to discuss specific peace terms and related matters. It's clearly inappropriate to do it on a public street in full view of everyone. Therefore, we need a quieter, more spacious location.

"Phew, what should I do next?" Kushina watched the other person leave, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing tightly. She was once again lost in confusion.

Minato's expression and eyes clearly conveyed anticipation. And this anticipation was precisely what Kushina was trying to escape. Most importantly, Kushina suddenly realized that she couldn't distinguish between love and familial affection for Mugetsu. This was absolutely terrible!

Ugh.

With another deep sigh, Kushina turned and headed towards her home. She needed to prepare herself properly; she couldn't possibly face her boyfriend with such a worried expression.

However, before she could even take a step, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the nearby assembly hall.

250 The Truth Revealed

Rumble.

A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the entire venue. A plume of dark gray smoke rose from a distance.

"W-what happened?"

"Now that the peace talks have been successful, will they still set off celebratory firecrackers?"

"No, that wasn't a firecracker at all! Something's happened!"

"Hurry! Get to the main venue!"

After recovering from their initial shock, the Konoha ninjas immediately set off towards the main venue.

However, at that moment, a loud battle cry suddenly rang out from outside the gate. Rain ninja dressed in gray-purple robes and Iwa ninja in reddish-brown robes swarmed in, charging straight towards Konoha!

"Damn it! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly, stop them!"

"Damn it! These Iwa ninja's so-called peace talks are nothing but a scam!"

"How could this be...? How did these ninja villages manage to cross the Konoha border defenses?"

"Let's not talk about that now. First, evacuate the ordinary people to emergency shelters!"
