"Well then... goodbye." With that, Wuyue rushed to the two women and gave each of them a big kiss.
"Eh?"
"Idiot, why so suddenly?!"
Amid the two women's gasps, Wuyue walked out of the room with satisfaction.
……
……
Konoha South Street, Mugetsu's residence.
"I'm back." With a greeting, Wuyue stepped into the mansion.
Welcome back.
"Welcome back, Master."
Yekura and Yukito came straight up to him and helped him take off his coat. Samui, who came a little behind, handed him slippers.
"Papa, hug me." Three-year-old Mirai Uzumaki stretched out her arms and ran over excitedly.
Following behind him, Kushina said with a helpless expression, "How many times have I told you, it's Daddy, not Papa!"
"Oh, it's okay." Wuyue smiled and picked up her daughter, nuzzling her cheek affectionately. "As long as you understand what it means, that's enough."
“You spoil her too much,” Kushina sighed. “This will only spoil her.”
"No way, my baby wouldn't be bad." Wuyue didn't care about that; since she was a daughter, she would definitely spoil her rotten. "Right, Mirai-chan?"
“Papa is right.” Although Little Future is only three years old, her speech is already very fluent and her pronunciation is very clear.
"Aha, come on, lift her up high." Wuyue lifted her daughter high and shouted, "Lift her up high, lift her up high... My baby is growing tall."
"Papa, you have to grow tall too." The little girl suddenly became serious and earnestly patted Wuyue's head.
"Pfft, hahaha."
"After all, your father is quite short too."
"Rather than saying he's short, it's more accurate to say that he's not much older than your daughter. How about Mirai-chan calls you 'brother' from now on?"
"Wow, you guys are really something." Hearing the girls' mockery, Wuyue's face immediately darkened. "Don't say these things in front of my daughter!"
"Hehe, do you still care about your father's glorious image?" Kushina winked playfully and said, "He's obviously a pervert."
"Is Papa a pervert?" The little girl clearly didn't understand the meaning of those two words, looking at Wuyue with a puzzled expression. "What does that mean?"
"Kawaii, that's what kawaii means!" Wuyue explained, sweating profusely.
"Then... he'll be a pervert in the future too." The little girl tilted her head and smiled sweetly.
"No, that's not true! Children shouldn't talk nonsense!" Wu Yue quickly hugged her and said, "Children's words are innocent, children's words are innocent."
"Hmph, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on her." Kushina suddenly sneered, "I won't let her become like her father."
378 Cloud Hidden Envoy
dong dong dong.
A few days later, in the Hokage's office, Mugetsu, who was reviewing documents, suddenly heard a crisp knock on the door. "Come in."
With a creak, the door opened. An ANBU member wearing a monkey mask entered the room. "Lord Hokage, the delegation from Kumogakure has arrived."
"Hmm, how many people?" Wuyue asked without looking up.
"A total of fourteen people," the ANBU member reported respectfully. "The ninja leader among them is Shinagawa Ichisuke, known as 'Thundercloud.' According to intelligence analysis, his combat strength is roughly between Jonin and Elite Jonin."
"I do know this guy." Wuyue finally put down the documents in her hand and looked up. "He's one of the Fourth Raikage's henchmen, and now he can stand on his own. But, a mere advisory delegation has sent fourteen ninjas. Are they sure they're not planning something?"
"Stirring things up...?"
"Oh, it means they have ulterior motives. Keep a close eye on their actions, and notify me immediately if there are any unusual movements."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"Ah, wait a minute. Um, your codename?"
"Your subordinate is Tianzang."
It really is you, Yamato. I knew that voice sounded familiar. But your long hair is completely different from the one in the original work.
Wuyue inwardly complained, but didn't show it on her face. "I understand, you can go now."
"Yes."
After Tianzang had completely left, Wuyue stood up from her seat. "What he just said... you heard it all?"
"Yes, Master." Hidden beneath his desk, out of sight of others, was someone—one of Mugetsu's maids, Yukito.
Her clothes were disheveled, and there was some suspicious, whitish liquid still on her lips. Her face was flushed unnaturally. "I heard everything."
Looking at the other person's beautiful and alluring expression, Wu Yue felt a surge of excitement.
Hmm, doing this kind of thing at work is incredibly exciting, especially in the office. No wonder those adult films from my past life depicted it that way.
Although he really wanted to continue, his sister and Shizune should be arriving soon. He had to put aside this wicked thought for the time being.
"So, do you think they just came to visit?" Wuyue took out a tissue from her jacket pocket, wiped the strange liquid remaining at the corner of the other person's mouth, and asked seriously.
"In my humble opinion, it's impossible." After spending several years with Mugetsu, Yugito had not only been captivated by him physically, but also by his soul. "According to the diplomatic methods of Kumogakure, every mission or invitation carries some other purpose. In addition, although Raikumo was once under the command of the Fourth Raikage, he has now completely sided with the elders, so it can be said with certainty... they must have some special purpose."
In fact, since taking office, Mugetsu had consistently adhered to the strategic principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy, and controlling the overall situation. Therefore, from a very early stage, he devoted considerable effort to building a completely new intelligence network, covering almost every country and village. The Cloud Ninja was overseen by Mokujin.
Of course, this doesn't mean the girl has completely abandoned her former beliefs. In fact, Wuyue has never distorted her thoughts at all. He even guaranteed that as long as the Yunren don't make the first move, he won't unilaterally break the peace treaty.
"A special purpose?" Wuyue rubbed her chin and said, "For some reason, I'm kind of looking forward to it. Well then, how about I leave this matter to you and Samui?"
"Of course." Yukito nodded and said earnestly, "It is our duty to help you, Master. Rest assured, we will not let you down."
"You also need to be careful." Wuyue waved her hand and said, "That's the most important thing."
……
……
The night was like thick ink, so deep it seemed impossible to dissolve. The night sky was like a dark blue curtain, adorned with twinkling stars, captivating all who beheld it.
However, even under this night sky, several furtive figures could be vaguely seen leaping over the wall and running swiftly towards the outskirts of Konoha Village. Moments later, another group emerged from the courtyard, shouting, "Catch them! Don't let them get away!" "Be careful, don't hurt the young lady!"
"They've caught up."
"Captain, you run first, we'll cover your retreat!"
"Please!" The captain carried a huge cloth bag on his shoulder. Looking at their attire... yes, they were the Cloud Ninja who had come under the guise of peace talks to abduct children.
Abandoning his companions, Shinagawa Ichisuke fled for his life.
If this Byakugan raid succeeds, the fighting strength of Kumogakure will undoubtedly rise several levels again. At that time, even if their overall strength cannot compare to Konoha's Heavenly Dragon, they will at least be able to make up for the difference.
Therefore, in order to make the village prosperous, he accepted the mission to his death without any hesitation, even though the elders had assigned him this task.
Further ahead lies the gates of Konoha. Once you get past that, there's a very good chance you'll be able to escape completely!
Victory seemed within reach. A joyful smile even appeared on Shinagawa Ichisuke's face. However, the next moment, two figures emerged from the shadows on either side, plunging his heart into despair. "There's an ambush here?"
379 Meeting with acquaintances
"Hey, it's been a long time, Shinagawa."
This was a voice that Yunren was very familiar with, and a voice that he hadn't heard in a long time.
He actually knows someone in Konoha?
Confused, Shinagawa Ichisuke slowed his pace and looked at the approaching figure. He was immediately horrified. "Samui? How...how could it be you? You are...Yugito?"
These two girls in front of me were quite famous back in Kumogakure. Especially Samui, who had served under the Raikage, and Shinagawa Isuke had even gone on a mission with her.
"Ah, it's surprising you still recognize us," Samui chuckled softly. "But you seem quite surprised, don't you? Did you think we were all dead?"
indeed.
According to the Raikage and the elders, those who failed in their assassination attempt on Mugetsu should have been executed. Even the Tailed Beasts had been taken by Konoha and were now someone else's possession. However, judging from the current situation, it seems quite different from what they expected?
"Well, enough with the nonsense." Yugito stepped forward and interjected, "That child you're carrying on your shoulder, isn't she the young lady of the Hyuga clan? Seriously, how audacious! To do something like this at this time of year. Put her down, and I can plead for you to return to the Land of Lightning alive."
“Our master has long since realized your intentions,” Samui sighed, “so there’s no point in putting up a futile resistance.”
"Master?" This wording startled Shinagawa Ichisuke, who asked, "You... have sided with Konoha?"
"Well, that's a bit of an inappropriate word." Yugito crossed his arms and said calmly, "It's not that we've pledged allegiance to Konoha, it should be said... that we've submitted to our master."
"Actually, isn't it the same thing?" Samui sighed helplessly.
“It’s different,” Yugito retorted. “Even if my master isn’t from Konoha, I will always stay by his side. Although, the possibility of that is almost negligible.”
"Damn it! You two traitors!" Shinagawa Ichisuke gritted his teeth. To him, betraying the village was utterly unforgivable. "I'll kill you both!"
"See? It turned out like this," Samui said wearily, seemingly having anticipated this outcome. "So, why not use my original plan? Let's stabilize him first?"...
"It's too much trouble. In the end, we still have to fight, right?" Yugito shrugged.
Just as they were talking, the Hyuga members from inside the village arrived one after another and quickly surrounded Shinagawa Ichisuke.
"Put down my daughter!" Hiashi Hyuga shouted anxiously.
"Heh, don't come any closer." Shinagawa Isuke's right hand crackled with dazzling lightning as he approached the drawstring of the bag. "Get back!"
"hateful!"
"You despicable bastard!"
"Let go of our young lady!"
The members of the Hyuga clan were all filled with righteous indignation, their faces full of anger.
Hiashi Hyuga, having calmed down, waved his hand. "Listen to him, step back for now. Don't hurt my daughter."
"My companions, you killed them all, didn't you?" Shinagawa Ichisuke suddenly asked. "They were all envoys sent to negotiate peace. Aren't you afraid of provoking war between our two countries?"
"Don't try to argue your way out of this; you were the ones who started it..."
"That's just your side of the story from Konoha. From my perspective, it was you who unilaterally tore up the treaty and killed our envoy."
"How could this be?"
"What a treacherous fellow!"
