Terrible dialogue and terrible scenes make it feel like a tentacle monster from an adult anime is fighting a cute magical girl.
"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, you escaped, right?"
Wuyue watched this delightful scene with great interest. At one point, she slowed her attack with the vines and asked this question.
This is actually easy to understand. Which village would casually give away its Jinchūriki as spoils of war to another village? The Fourth Raikage isn't an idiot. "Do you think they would send someone to find you if they discovered your movements?"
I don't think so.
A pathetic answer popped into Yugito's mind. In the current situation, Konoha, possessing the Moonless Leaf Village, completely surpasses all other ninja villages. Although the other villages may not want to admit it, that is the truth.
Furthermore, Konoha and Kumogakure have already signed a peace treaty, and it is absolutely impossible for them to unilaterally break the treaty for her sake.
As if reading her mind, Wuyue smiled and said, "I think so. However, they certainly don't want you as a person. Instead, they'll send people to retrieve the Tailed Beasts. If that happens, what do you think I should do? Or rather, do you think I would return what I've swallowed?"
This is utterly scathing! These words struck at the heart! They caused a violent tremor within Yugito's heart!
"By the way, there's only one ending." Wuyue said calmly, uttering the words she least wanted to hear. "That's war. A war entirely started by you!"
342 Atonement
Because of me... a war was started?
These words froze Yugito in place, her whole body trembling, her pupils contracting sharply. She desperately wanted to seek justice for Killer Bee and for the Hidden Cloud Village, but she didn't want this to ignite a war.
No, it wasn't so much that she didn't want to see it. Rather, she was trying her best to avoid this outcome. Although they had considered that killing the Konoha Celestial Dragon would trigger a large-scale conflict between Konoha and the Cloud Ninja, the Cloud Ninja had no fear of Konoha without Mugetsu present.
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. Throughout the Cloud Ninja, everyone has come to regard the Leaf Village's Heavenly Dragon as a strategic weapon; his very existence is a deterrent force in war.
Once this deterrent disappears, the anti-war sentiment among the Cloud Ninja will definitely be suppressed. Given the Cloud Ninja's military strength, if they were to fight head-on against Konoha after losing Mugetsu, their chances of winning would definitely be over 70%.
However, given the current situation where the assassination attempt failed, if it escalates into war... the Cloud Ninja will undoubtedly lose. At that point, the entire Land of Lightning will likely be dragged down.
The thought sent chills down Yugito's spine. She was afraid, truly terrified. She wasn't afraid of her own death. But if her actions dragged the village into a quagmire of war, that would be ten, a hundred times more terrifying than death.
"Oh, so it seems you've considered the consequences." Wuyue's face remained expressionless, but a wicked smile of triumph crept across her face. "So, are you still planning not to cooperate?"
"You... how do you want me to cooperate?" Yugito's tone finally softened. She knew very well that if she wanted to avoid war, this boy was key. "What will it take for you to spare Kumogakure?"
"Huh? Let me go?" Wu Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? I'm the victim now. If you hadn't insisted on assassinating me, things wouldn't be like this now."
Indeed, we were short-sighted.
Yugito admitted that what the other party said was indeed true. A strong sense of regret overwhelmed her. If it weren't for this assassination attempt, none of this would have happened. However, despite this, she retorted, "But you didn't suffer any real harm. On the contrary, we suffered heavy losses."
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that the two of them were truly pitiful. Samui had "died in battle," and her tailed beast had been extracted.
“None of these are the basis for your attempt to persuade me.” Wu Yue remained unmoved and said calmly, “Don’t forget, you are all nominally my property. Therefore, whatever I do with you is perfectly reasonable.”
"This..." Yugito was immediately speechless. What the other person said was clearly a fallacy, but she couldn't refute it at all.
Logically speaking, they were indeed given to the enemy as spoils of war. Their lives were indeed in the enemy's hands, which makes sense. But why does something still feel off?
If Wuyue knew what she was thinking, she would definitely explain, "Because you didn't do it willingly."
Voluntarily becoming spoils of war and concealing one's identity as an assassin are fundamentally different. Wuyue's previous words were clearly misleading, completely distorting this distinction, which is why Yuki thought what he said made sense.
"What, have nothing more to say?" Wuyue said indifferently, her face expressionless. "Then, I should take my leave. I need to prepare for the war." With that, she turned to leave.
"Wait, wait..." Yugito suddenly became anxious and shouted, "No, you can't do this!" At this moment, she lost the calmness and composure she had when she was assassinating her opponent, and finally became like a distraught little girl, her eyes filled with anxiety.
"Why?" Wuyue tilted her head and said, "Why can't I do this?"
"Even if I'm wrong, it's my fault." After thinking for a long time, Yuki finally came up with this reason. "It has nothing to do with my village or the country. Punish me if you want!" A resolute look appeared on her face.
ha?
Wuyue found it somewhat amusing. This girl was still quite young, after all. Her words were so naive. If he truly wanted to warn or punish Kumogakure, this method of persuasion would be utterly useless.
He sighed inwardly, but naturally didn't show it on his face. He pretended to ponder and said, "Oh? You're really willing to accept punishment? Any kind of punishment is fine?"
“Yes!” Yugito said with a firm expression.
"Alright, let's start with that kind of punishment from before." With that, Wuyue snapped her fingers. The vines and wooden strips began to writhe again.
"Ugh!" The determination on Yukito's face vanished instantly, replaced by fear and pain. "No, no! Can, can you try something else?!" That, that tickling sensation was terrifying! It was worse than death!
Wuyue raised an eyebrow, barely suppressing a laugh. "Hmm? You just said you were willing to accept any punishment?"
"I, I...I'm sorry." This girl actually apologized after being bullied by Wuyue.
"Hmph, forget it." Wuyue pretended to let the other party off the hook and raised her head. "Come on, call me 'Master' first. Make it vivid and full of emotion."
At that moment, Yugito's face showed a slight hesitation. She felt that she was walking step by step into some kind of trap. If she really called out "master," there might be no turning back.
But there was no other way. At this moment, she could only suppress the turmoil in her heart and timidly say, "Master, mistress."
343 Caught in the act
Wow, so cute!
Looking at Yukito's weak appearance, Mugetsu suddenly felt a urge to bully her again. This process of turning an enemy assassin into a timid girl was truly addictive.
Thinking this, his face remained completely calm, as still as still water. "Not bad, it seems you've already accepted this identity."
I didn't! How could I possibly agree with that?!
Yugito's heart blared in protest, but outwardly he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. "Master, my village..."
"How dare you! As my property, are you still thinking about your own ninja village?" Wuyue frowned, imitating the expressions and mannerisms of the domineering CEO novels she had read in her previous life.
I must say, it really does look remarkably lifelike. However, he's a bit lacking in height and age, which makes it look a little odd.
"I, I just..." Yugito was stunned by his imposing presence. She even felt as if she had made a mistake.
How could this be? How could this happen? He should be the enemy, someone I hate. But why do I react so naturally to his words?
Yugito cried out in her heart. She had realized that she was caught in the other person's rhythm, but she had no way to break free.
“No, not just.” Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and stared directly into the other woman’s eyes. “I am the only one you need to care about. Do you understand?”
I don't understand! How could anyone possibly understand something like this! This guy is a demon!
"Yes, I understand," Yugito said, head bowed, resigned. This feeling of being led by the nose was truly unbearable!
"Very good, very enlightened." Wuyue nodded in satisfaction. "You don't need to worry about the war. I will handle it perfectly. You and your companions can stay here peacefully and be my maids."
"A...maid?" Yugito's heart trembled. Just a maid? She had thought the other party would unleash their beastly nature and force her to do this or that. (aha 0ū$︴)
Wait, he just said "comrades"? That can't be, wasn't the captain...?
^
Crack, crack! Just as her thoughts began to form, cracks suddenly appeared on the ice at the entrance of the mansion. Then, the ice shattered, revealing Samui's perfectly intact body.
"Captain!" Yugito even felt like crying tears of joy at this moment.
"No need to call her anymore," Wuyue shook her head. "She's probably frozen unconscious. After all, she's only wearing so little."
Who do you think caused this?
Normally, Yugito might have made such a comment. But now, she clearly wasn't in the mood for it.
"That's great, that's really great." Yugito exclaimed, still suspended in mid-air, looking incredibly strange.
“Um, I know you’re excited.” Wuyue seemed to finally realize that the other person’s behavior was inappropriate. “However, it’s better to be a little quieter. I’ll put you down now.”
It seemed that because the girl was struggling so much, her trousers had several badly torn sections on her chest, under her armpits, and her fair, delicate skin was exposed. It was almost like a scene from an adult anime, involving bondage and discipline, leaving much to the imagination.
However, just as he began to act, forming hand seals to break free of the other's restraints, a series of unhurried footsteps sounded from outside the mansion.
"Mugetsu, the decorations here are alright..." Tsunade strode into the vicinity of the mansion, her words abruptly halting halfway through. Her gaze had already caught sight of Yugito, suspended in mid-air, especially her performance-art-like posture, which instantly conjured up a multitude of thoughts in Tsunade's mind. "Perhaps... I've arrived at the wrong time?"
Her gaze was fixed on Wuyue, her eyes filled with accusation and a hint of anger. This guy, doing this with another girl in broad daylight? Shouldn't he be more mindful of his image?
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized what was happening and quickly said, "Teacher, it's not what you think. I, um. I was just interrogating her to find out some things."
Torture? Hah...
Tsunade felt a cold smile creep across her face, but remained outwardly unmoved, saying, "You don't need to explain to me. This girl is your property; it has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by."
I wasn't just passing by! You clearly came here specifically to find me!
Wuyue wasn't so foolish as to believe such an excuse. "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand. We, we were really just having a normal conversation."
"Is that so?" Tsunade finally wavered a little at this point. Actually, thinking about it, it made sense. They were originally enemies, so even if they were to get together, it shouldn't be that soon.
“Yes, yes. You can ask her if you don’t believe me.” Wuyue turned her gaze to Yukito and said, “Um, I didn’t do anything strange to you, did I?”
“Master’s words are absolute. I will do whatever Master says.” Yugito did not answer directly, but instead used ambiguous language.
"Hey, I'm asking you to answer properly!" Wu Yue's lips twitched as she said, "Don't use that tone, okay?"
Yukito pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Even if, even if Master uses those vine whips to penetrate my body, it shouldn't be anything strange, right?"
It’s over.
Wu Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded. "Congratulations, host, for completing your choice. Reward: 100 days of cultivation points and 10 years of dragon growth cycle."
344 The Surge in the Dark
Two days later, at dawn.
Samyi slowly opened his eyes as he awoke from his slumber, only to find himself in an unfamiliar environment.
This is a uniquely decorated room. From desks and lamps to wardrobes and benches, all the furnishings are complete and arranged in a pleasing, staggered manner.
"Where is this?" Samui shook his slightly dizzy head and muttered to himself, "No. Why am I still alive... I should have been encased in ice, my bones should be frozen."
Just as her thoughts were racing and she was feeling somewhat lost, the door creaked open. Yukito, who also had blond hair like hers, slowly walked into the room. "Captain? You're awake..."
"Yugito, are we still in Konoha?" Samui also showed a hint of joy upon seeing her companion. But she quickly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Have we been captured?"
Yugito's body stiffened. Although she was somewhat prepared, hearing the other person mention this still left her with a rather complicated feeling. "I guess so. But Master is quite nice. The Hokage is also very good; he didn't force me to do anything I didn't want to do."
"What...what do you mean by this?" Samui found her words utterly unbelievable. Had this girl been brainwashed? Why did she call him "master" so naturally? "Wait, what's with your clothes?"
Finally, she noticed the difference in the other person's clothing. It was a black and white long dress, exquisitely designed and perfectly fitting. But it was clearly a maid outfit!
"This will be our work uniform from now on," Yugito explained frankly. "What do you think? It looks great, doesn't it?"
"Beautiful... my foot!" Samui shouted, "What on earth did you do to me? How can you accept being a maid so calmly?"
“The tailed beast within me is no longer there.” Yugito paused for a moment before explaining, “What can we do now? And you should know very well what the consequences will be if we don’t act according to their demands, and they use the assassination as a pretext to pressure the village.”
