359 Struggle and Determination
Shadow Asura!
That's right, that's Yui's title! Although it can't compare to the Leaf Village's Heavenly Dragon of Mugetsu, who can intimidate the entire ninja world with just his name, it's still a very prestigious title among the younger generation of ninjas.
"Thank you so much." Still shaken, Shisui stepped out from behind Yui and said respectfully, "Lady Yui."
"What are you doing?" Yui ignored his words, turning her face away and coldly asking, "You should have easily dodged that level of tactic. But instead, you almost died. You took these small fry down with you."
"I..." Shisui seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held it back. "I'm sorry, Lady Yui."
"You don't need to apologize to me," Yui said calmly. "Your life or death is none of my business. I simply don't want you to tarnish your teacher's reputation."
“Yes, Lady Yui.” Shisui nodded seriously and said, “I will remember this lesson.”
"I hope so." Yui gave him a deep look and said, "Let's call it a day."
Watching the other person's departing figure, Shisui's face showed hesitation again.
At dusk, the leaves fall.
The setting sun casts its last rays upon the mountains and waters, weaving together a vibrant and magnificent scene.
Sitting on a giant rock by the river, Zhi Shui gazed at the shimmering surface of the river in the distance, his thoughts drifting. For some reason, his shadow seemed somewhat lonely and desolate at that moment. His tightly furrowed brows conveyed a deep sorrow.
"Phew." After a long while, he let out a long sigh and looked away. He then noticed that someone had appeared beside him. "Itachi, you always appear at just the right time."
“That’s because you think too deeply every time you do,” Itachi Uchiha retorted, using words completely out of character for his age.
"Profound? Was I being that obvious?"
"It's obvious. You're just like one of those lovesick men. Although I know you're unlikely to have any girls like you."
"Hey, you brat! What nonsense are you talking about? You know, I was really popular back in the ninja academy. Much more popular than you!"
"But you still don't have a girlfriend."
"Mind your own business! I don't want a girlfriend, okay?!"
"He's tongue-tied, shy, and doesn't know how to please girls."
"Pfft! Enough, enough. You bastard, are you just here to mock me?"
"No, I'm here to comfort you." Itachi Uchiha chuckled softly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that matter... you still haven't told me?"
"Ah." Shisui was slightly taken aback, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know how to say it. Besides, my teacher is cultivating in the Spirit World, and I can't contact him."
“That’s not the main reason, is it?” Itachi Uchiha stepped forward and sat down next to him. “Actually, you’re just simply afraid.”
Are you scared?
Shisui was taken aback for a moment, then let out a deep sigh of relief. "That's right. Perhaps you're right, I am afraid. After all, this concerns our entire clan."
“I think the teacher probably already knew.” After a moment of silence, Itachi suddenly spoke. “Have you forgotten the question he asked you just a few months ago? I think he probably already had a clue back then. Actually, to be honest… I’m the one who finds it the most difficult. My father, my clan, and my village—it’s a three-way entanglement.”
Two months ago, at Yui's insistence, Mugetsu accepted Uchiha Itachi as his second disciple. That's why he, like Shisui, calls Mugetsu "teacher".
Of course, Mugetsu didn't know that this was actually Uchiha Mikoto's request.
· ……
"So, what are your thoughts?" Shisui suddenly turned her head and looked at him. "If you were in the decision-maker, what would you do?"
"Me?" Itachi sighed deeply and said, "I'll lure the snake out of its hole, kill one to warn a hundred, and leave no future trouble."
hiss.
At that moment, Shisui was completely stunned. Even though he knew this was the best method, those were still his own people. Even if they had done something wrong, was it necessary to be so cruel?
"I know what you're thinking." Itachi glanced at him indifferently and said, "Precisely because we are clansmen, we should all be very clear about this. Simply appeasing them cannot quell their restless hearts. Even though the title of teacher is enough to be a powerful deterrent to them, under the leadership and deception of the leader, they still resist that temptation. The temptation to become the overlord."
After a moment of silence, Zhishui suddenly asked, "So, is the so-called return of the ancestor true? That man really didn't die?"
"Whether it's true or not, so what?" Itachi's gaze remained calm and indifferent, as if devoid of any emotion. "That guy knows very well that he's no match for Master. That's why he resorts to deceiving his clansmen to achieve his goals. This kind of person is only fit to be a hidden clown in the shadows. He's not worthy of being on the big stage."
"Ah, in that case, it is indeed so." Shisui smiled and shook his head. "It's just a pity that those clansmen have been deceived and cannot see the truth before them."
Itachi paused for a moment, then looked at him calmly. "It seems you've already made up your mind."
"Yes, I've made up my mind." The confusion in Shisui's eyes was gone, replaced by an unprecedented determination. "It's better for this village to remain peaceful and harmonious."
360 Today I'm eating loli
As dawn broke, a magnificent sunrise appeared in the east. Wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops of Konoha Village, and a light, veil-like mist filled the air.
Inside the Hokage's office building.
Tsunade sat upright at her desk, meticulously labeling the categories of each file, as if afraid of missing any detail.
"Teacher, Lady Tsunade. Our documents are all ready." Shizune and Kurenai stepped forward and said softly.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Tsunade said without looking up.
Jingyin shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing."
“Compared to us, the teachers must be the ones who work the hardest,” Kurenai Yuhi sighed. “So many documents and materials, and they have to annotate every single one of them themselves. The workload is just too huge.”
“In that case, things will be easier for him when Mugetsu takes office.” Tsunade put down her pen, looked up, and sighed. “When I first took over this mess, I was completely clueless.”
"That's why I said you spoil him too much." Kurenai Yuhi covered her forehead helplessly and said, "If it were me, I would definitely make that guy experience the hardships of working here."
“I think…” Shizune suddenly spoke up, “If that’s the case, Mugetsu-kun might hand over these complicated tasks to us.”
“That’s right, that’s what I think too.” Tsunade smiled helplessly and said, “Given his lazy personality, he wouldn’t sit comfortably in this office every day.”
"Sigh." Kurenai Yuhi sighed again, "If that's the case, why let him inherit the Hokage position? He's clearly a lazy bum with no sense of purpose. And, and then there's his age..."
“That’s inevitable.” Tsunade rested her chin on her hands and arms on the table. “Whether considering the current situation in the ninja world or the situation within Konoha, it’s the best time for him to succeed. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s the one everyone wants. As for his age… although he’s only ten, his child is almost due, so that doesn’t really matter.”
Uh.
Upon hearing the last sentence, "The baby is almost due," both Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune fell silent. What could they say? Envy? Jealousy? Or perhaps, they were desperately trying to beg Mugetsu for a child too?
Forget it, given their personalities, they clearly couldn't do that. So, silence is the only option.
"Teacher, don't you plan to have a child too?" After a long while, Kurenai finally spoke again, tentatively asking, "Given your current situation, you should be at a suitable stage for pregnancy, right?"
"I..." Even Tsunade blushed slightly when discussing this issue. "This is not something I can control. As you all know, he has many women. But so far, only Kushina has actually gotten pregnant."
"I see."
"So, there's also a probability factor involved?"
Kurenai and Shizune both nodded in sudden realization. Still young and innocent, they had received a crash course in strange knowledge.
"Alright, let's put this aside for now." Tsunade cleared her throat twice and said, "Anyway, you'll find out yourselves soon enough. Let's hurry up and get these things done. I'll treat you to lunch!"
……
……
The western district of Konoha is a street made of fences and bluestone slabs.
Suddenly, ripples spread across the surrounding air, and a white figure slowly emerged from them.
"Phew, I'm back." Taking a deep breath, Wuyue looked around. "This place is different from what I expected. Shouldn't I be straight home? Did the summoning jutsu coordinates malfunction?"
Just as he was talking to himself, a clear voice suddenly rang out behind him... "Eh? Is that Brother Wuyue?"
Turning my head, I saw a little girl with purple hair. She was wearing a smart, tight-fitting outfit and had a ninja sword slung over her back, looking quite dashing.
"Xi Yan? Long time no see." Wu Yue was taken aback at first, then broke into a bright smile. She instinctively reached out and picked up the little girl. "Did you miss me?"
"Yes, yes." Feeling the warmth and breath of her beloved, the precocious little girl blushed instantly and said shyly, "I miss Brother Wuyue so much."
"Is that so?" Wuyue said with a mischievous smile, "Then shouldn't you do something?"
Well.
The little girl was taken aback at first, pondered for a moment, then reached out, hugged Wuyue's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Ah." Wuyue nuzzled her little face before putting her down. "Xiyan's kiss smells so good. It's almost noon now, have you eaten yet?"
"I just got out of school and was about to go home." Having just done something so daring, Xiyan was clearly still a little embarrassed and said awkwardly.
"Hey, that's perfect, I'll take you..." Before Wuyue could finish speaking, the system notification suddenly sounded.
Make your choice, dear host.
1. Little girl, sweetie, I'll make you some noodles.
Second, instead of eating, let me eat you first?
Third, let's find a place where we can eat each other?
Pfft, you depraved bastard! She's still a child!
Wuyue was completely flustered and stammered, "Um, Xiyan... instead of eating, let me... let me eat you first?"
361 Warmth
"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with fifty days of cultivation and five years of dragon growth cycle."
Hearing the notification in his mind, Wu Yue finally felt relieved. Thankfully, this task only required verbal commands; if he had to actually follow the instructions exactly, that would have been truly insane! The prospect of being sentenced to death would have been suffocating him.
"Brother Wuyue, do you want to eat me?" Xi Yan, the little loli, blushed instantly, her precocious nature revealing the unspoken meaning in his words. "Well, well... it's not impossible. It's just that I'm still young. My breasts and such haven't developed yet. If there's a baby, it'll go hungry."
puff.
Wuyue was completely stunned, her face showing disbelief. "Hey, you've already thought that far ahead? Who taught you that?!"
"Well, Yugao-chan, don't get so worked up." Letting out a breath, Mugetsu placed her hands on Yugao's shoulders. "Just now, Onii-chan was just joking with you. You're still young, we...we shouldn't think about these things. Hey, are you hungry? Let's have lunch at my house today."
"Is this Muzuki-nii's new house?" Uzuki Yugao's face showed a longing expression. She had been invited there a few months ago and had a very good impression of it.
"Yes, that's the place." Wuyue nodded, then added, "By the way, do you want to tell your family? They might be worried if they don't hear from you back."
"It's alright." Xi Yan shook her head and took Wu Yue's arm with both hands. "Those two wretched guys went to the town in the Land of Fire for their honeymoon and aren't home at all."
"Huh?" Wuyue was taken aback and said, "What about your meals at home...?"
"I made all of these myself." Xi Yan blinked and smiled, "As Wu Yue's future bride, I'm working hard on my cultivation."
"Is that so?" Wuyue suddenly felt embarrassed. The lolis of this world really can't be judged by ordinary standards.
