The dull thud of a knife cutting into flesh.

A thin line of blood instantly appeared on the bandit's throat. His eyes widened in surprise and astonishment. He couldn't understand why his opponent had suddenly attacked; was his intelligence worthless?

Chapter 0044 The scene was very awkward.

If Wuyue knew what the other person was thinking before they died, she would definitely shake her head and explain: It's not that this information is worthless, but that it is too valuable to her, so valuable that she cannot share it with others.

This is a missing person bounty mission with a very high reward, reaching tens of millions.

Of course, what Mugetsu valued most was not the bounty, but the mission itself: to find and bring back Tsugawa Miyu, the daughter of the former daimyo of the Land of Fire, by any means necessary.

Below is a portrait of a young girl, specifically noted to be from four years ago. If this girl changed her hairstyle and wore black-rimmed glasses, she would look exactly like the married woman next door to Wuyue.

Miyu is actually the daughter of a previous daimyo!

This discovery startled Wu Yue. He had indeed suspected that the other party's identity was not simple, but he had not expected it to be this extraordinary.

The daughter of the previous daimyo, a true princess of the Land of Fire, a true princess of the highest order. With such a background, why would Miyu choose to live in hiding in Konoha?! And who issued the mission to find her, even at the cost of her life… Could it be the current daimyo?!

No, if it were the Daimyo, he wouldn't need to issue such a mission in the underground black market. He could simply inform Konoha. The efficiency of the largest village in the ninja world is far superior to that of those shady underground ninjas.

So, if it's not a famous name, then who is it?

Wuyue pondered for a long time but couldn't find any clues. The key was that there was too little information. She would wait for an opportunity to talk to that married woman in person.

With that thought in mind, he walked straight out of the camp, where Tsunade and the other girls had been waiting for a long time.

"Too slow. Does it really take that much time to deal with a few small fry?" Tsunade asked bluntly as soon as she saw him.

"Sorry, something unexpected happened," Wuyue said, scratching her head.

"An accident?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you injured?"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai and Shizune also turned their gazes to Mugetsu, a hint of concern in their expressions.

"No, not at all." Wuyue waved her hand first, dispelling their concerns. Then she said, "However, in the tent I was clearing out, besides a few bandits, I also encountered a ninja."

"Ninjas? How could ninjas be hanging out with bandits?"

"He's probably trying to hide his identity. Oh, right. He said he's from Kusagakure."

"Have you found out his purpose?"

"This." Mugetsu trusted Tsunade completely, so he handed her the letter of authorization without hiding anything. "Because the matter was of great importance, I have already silenced that ninja."

Tsunade took the letter of commission, glanced at it briefly, and nodded. "You did a good job. This girl's identity is very unusual. She's not just a princess of the Land of Fire."

"Not just a princess?" Wuyue was taken aback.

"She was originally the sixth in line to the throne of the Land of Fire." Tsunade sighed and said, "Because of the rebellion of the foreign ministers, she had to flee. Later, she was rescued by Zixiao and temporarily stayed at his house. Speaking of which, she should be your neighbor, right?"

"Eh? Aunt Miyu is the heir to the daimyo?" Kurenai Yuhi asked in astonishment.

"This... this matter... it wasn't a major secret after all? You all knew about it?" Wuyue thought that Miyu had concealed her identity and even fooled the Konoha higher-ups.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

With so many informants and secret agents in Konoha, how could an extra person appearing in the village out of nowhere not be investigated?

“Not everyone knows this.” Tsunade shook her head and said, “Besides the Third Hokage, only Zixiao and I know about this.”

"Uh, so now... doesn't that mean there are three more people?" Wuyue suddenly realized that she had been tricked again.

"Relax, don't be so tense." Tsunade glanced at him and said, "Now that the rebellion has been quelled and a new daimyo has been elected, that girl should be out of danger."

"It's not that I'm nervous," Wuyue scratched her head, hesitatingly adding, "I'm just a little confused... Is it really true that the rebellion of foreign vassals has nothing to do with the new daimyo?"

Tsunade stopped and looked at him seriously. "I actually want to know the answer to your question too. But that's not something we can interfere with. Mugetsu, I know you're very talented and have a lot of ideas. But there's one thing you must remember: you're a ninja, don't try to break the rules of the ninja world."

Is it because they're afraid I'll interfere in Miyu's affairs?

Wu Yue felt utterly helpless. Please, she was barely managing to avoid trouble herself; how could she possibly meddle in other people's business?

Just as she was about to express her thoughts, the system's notification suddenly interrupted, leaving Wuyue frozen in place for a moment.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, deny her: You are not a ninja, just a simple pervert. There are no rules in the world of perverts.

Second, ask her: "Teacher-student relationships shouldn't be considered part of the ninja rules, right? Can I pursue you?"

Third, refute her: Some people are born to break free from rules. For example, you... wear women's clothing in front of them and then start an awkward dance performance! Prove with facts that women's clothing is not only suitable for women, which is a rigid rule.

Depend on!

Wuyue mentally gave the middle finger to that damn system. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally made up her mind and turned to Tsunade, saying, "Master, teacher-student relationships shouldn't be considered within the rules of ninjas, right... Can I... can I pursue you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded again. "Congratulations, host, for completing the mission. Reward: Yin Release Chakra Nature Transformation Talent."

silence.

Upon hearing this, all the women fell silent. The atmosphere became quite awkward.

Chapter 0045 The Rallying Ceremony of War

As night fell, twinkling lights gradually illuminated the houses in Konoha.

"Ugh, it still hurts so much..." In the barbecue restaurant, Wuyue clutched her swollen head, wincing in pain.

"Serves you right, you bastard." Kurenai Yuhi glanced at him and said, "How dare you say such things to Tsunade-sensei? You're lucky you weren't beaten to death."

What can I do? Do you think I want to say this? I'm desperate too!

Wuyue's heart was filled with sorrowful sighs.

"Since it hurts so much, let me rub it for you." Shizune reached out her two soft little hands, placed them on Wuyue's forehead, and carefully began to rub it.

The scene was like petting a soft, cuddly kitten, and it stung Kurenai's eyes, stirring a faint sense of jealousy within her. "Why be so good to him? I might as well just spoil him rotten."

"Because, because Muzuki looks so pitiful." Shizune's words seemed somewhat insincere, and she even dared not look directly into Kurenai's eyes.

Fortunately, Kurenai didn't think too much about it and muttered to herself with her head down, "But, pity or whatever, he brought it on himself."

"Hey, have you guys heard about what happened with White Fang..." A voice suddenly came from the next table, attracting the attention of Wuyue and the others.

"That's about him being punished for failing a mission? The whole of Konoha knows!"

"No, that's not what I meant, I meant the latest news."

"What news?"

The man who had spoken first looked mysterious and cautiously glanced around. However, he subconsciously ignored the several children, including Wuyue, who were clearly not even ten years old. "I heard from my friends in the Anbu that White Fang... committed suicide at home this morning."

"What?" "Is this true?" "No way, how could this happen?!" The boy's classmates were all shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“How could I joke about something like this?” The man shook his head and said, “Just wait, it probably won’t be long before the news of White Fang’s suicide is made public.”

"What a pity that White Fang would choose this path."

"Yes, this approach is indeed a bit too extreme."

"Hmph, what's there to regret? If he hadn't caused the mission to fail for such a ridiculous reason, we wouldn't have been forced into this situation by Sunagakure."

Listening to the gossip of the people at the next table, Wuyue sighed almost imperceptibly.

He felt that White Fang hadn't done anything wrong. When faced with a desperate situation, he would also abandon the mission for the sake of those he wanted to protect, even if it meant being condemned by everyone.

But this is still the world of ninjas, and for ninjas, missions come first. The mission failure plunged White Fang into deep self-blame, and with someone stirring things up behind the scenes, this tragedy unfolded.

"Who is Shiroya? Is he famous?" Kurenai asked with some doubt.

Mugetsu nodded and explained, "His full name is Hatake Sakumo, and he is Kakashi's father. He was also a very great ninja."

"Huh? Is that Kakashi's father? But if he's a great ninja, why would something like this happen?" The naive Kurenai Yuhi, obviously clueless about the situation, asked innocently.

"Perhaps it's because of the power of gossip." A trace of vicissitude flashed in Wuyue's eyes.

Bang.

Just as they were talking, the door of the barbecue restaurant was suddenly violently flung open, and Tsunade, her face grim, slowly walked in.

Most of the customers in the shop were regulars and familiar with the blonde princess. Seeing that she seemed very unhappy, they immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

"Bring me five bottles of sake." Tsunade called out to the bar counter and walked straight to Mugetsu's table to sit down.

"Lady Tsunade, what is this...?" Shizune asked cautiously.

Tsunade didn't respond immediately; she simply sat there silently, her face ashen. There seemed to be anger in her eyes, but Mugetsu saw a hint of frustration and helplessness within them.

Only after the waiter brought the wine cup and glass to her side, and Tsunade filled one cup and drank it all in one gulp, did she slowly speak. "I had a bit of an unpleasant experience with that old geezer earlier."

It must be about the white teeth.

Wuyue thought to herself.

If I remember correctly, during the Second Shinobi World War, White Fang and Tsunade were both key figures in the fight against the Sand Village. They were comrades-in-arms, sharing life and death, and their relationship must have been quite good.

As for White Fang's suicide, Mugetsu simply doesn't believe that no one was behind it. Tsunade must have realized this as well, which is why she clashed with the Third Hokage or perhaps the mastermind behind it all.

After a moment of silence, Tsunade's next words shocked Mugetsu and the others. "Tonight, I will be leaving Konoha."

"Lady Tsunade, what does this mean?"

"Teacher, where are you going?"

Compared to the panic of Kurenai and Shizune, Mugetsu was clearly much calmer. "Have we been assigned some special mission?"

"Yes. I'm going to the western front to serve as the commander-in-chief." Tsunade took another swig of sake and squinted her eyes as she spoke.

battlefield?!

Wu Yue had always thought that this word was far removed from him. Only now did he realize that "war" was right in front of him.

"Tsunade-sensei...you've gone to the battlefield, what are we going to do?" Kurenai Yuhi asked the crucial question.

"This is the question I want to ask today." Setting down her wine cup, Tsunade looked at them seriously and said, "Are you willing to come with me to the battlefield? Let me make this clear beforehand, it will be very dangerous there, truly dangerous! Even I cannot guarantee that I will come out unscathed."

The three exchanged glances. Wu Yue was about to speak first when a familiar yet infuriating voice suddenly popped into his mind.

Chapter 0046 I am her toy

Make your choice, dear host.

First, my dear Tsunade, I will not leave your side until I get my first kill on you.

Second, I absolutely have to go! I'm going to Sunagakure, and I'm going to capture lots and lots of Sand Village girls as prisoners of war and play with their breasts!

Three, no, no! I don't want to go to the battlefield, I don't want to have my ass ripped apart by those gay Sand Ninja!
