The two women clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily and launched a relentless pursuit.
Rumble.
Instantly, chaos erupted throughout the camp, drawing the attention of the surrounding ninjas.
"Where did these brats come from? This is so improper! I'll go stop them!"
"Forget it, they are Lady Tsunade's disciples."
"Uh, forget I said anything."
"Hehe, don't you think this scene is pleasing to the eye?"
"That's true, it's like I've returned to my youth."
"No, I don't think you could have been like that boy when you were little, with two such cute little girls following you around."
"That's a bit harsh, buddy!"
Wuyue paid no attention to the ninjas' chatter; he simply found the current situation rather amusing. He even occasionally turned back to make a funny face while running. His playful and adorable antics left the two girls unsure whether to be angry, laugh, or simply bewildered.
However, as Wuyue gradually relaxed, she forgot the saying "extreme joy begets sorrow." After running a few dozen steps forward, her cheek suddenly bumped into a soft object, and because of the force, her entire cheek almost sank in.
"Was it fun?" The familiar tone made Wuyue feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Turning her head trembling, Wuyue exclaimed in fear, "Tsunade-sensei?!"
· ……
That's it! This time I'm really done for! I just did that kind of thing not long ago, and now I've walked right into their trap again!
Kurenai and Shizune, who were behind her, also stopped and looked at Tsunade with unease.
"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun. Want to join me?" Tsunade asked with a mischievous grin, her eyes narrowed.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Wuyue lowered her head honestly and took the initiative to admit her mistake.
"Huh? Not planning to run away this time?" Tsunade grabbed his ears and twisted them back and forth. "Aren't you fast? Why don't you change your nickname to White Flash?"
Mugetsu subconsciously retorted, "Don't do that, Minato-senpai will protest. Ah, ah... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, teacher, be gentle."
"Humph."
Releasing her grip, Tsunade glanced at his little ears, seemingly still wanting more. "Come with me, all of you. I have new appointments to make."
Eh?
Wu Yue was stunned.
Having committed such a heinous act, he originally thought he would be severely injured, if not killed, but Tsunade let him off so easily. Was she planning to settle scores later?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Wuyue turned to look at her sister and Shizune, gesturing for them to follow. The three of them then followed Tsunade into the main camp.
Inside the camp.
"Here, this is for you."
Tsunade casually tossed the documents on her desk to Mugetsu and said indifferently, "These two will accompany you from now on."
"What is this?" Wu Yue opened the file in confusion and was stunned.
This is a letter of appointment personally issued by the Third Hokage, filled with all sorts of official language.
In summary, due to Yuhi Mugetsu's outstanding combat achievements, the decision was made, based on the suggestion of Tsunade, the commander-in-chief of the western front, to exempt him from the strength assessment and promote him to Konoha "Jonin"!
074 A desperate gamble
(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)
Two months later, the right flank of Konoha's border defenses.
"Report to Jonin Mugetsu: There are no signs of enemies on the left!"
"No enemy troops detected to the right flank. Please provide further instructions, Jonin Mugetsu!"
Hong and Shizune each held a pair of binoculars in their hands, looking at Muyue with serious expressions.
Wu Yue looked at the two women with a twitching mouth and sighed, "Stop messing around, we've been using this joke for two months, aren't you tired of it?"
Shizune said earnestly, "You are a Jonin and our captain. Naturally, we must show you respect!"
Kurenai nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If this causes you dissatisfaction... what if you make things difficult for us, or try to take advantage of us?"
"Unspoken rules and such? How could that be!" Wu Yue exclaimed, her face flushed. "And where did you learn all this stuff, sister? It'll corrupt you!"
"Heh, after spending so much time with you, it's hard not to become a bad person," Kurenai Yuhi shrugged, unconcerned.
Shizune added, "After all, Mugetsu-kun is the most terrifying pervert in history."
"Who, who's a pervert! I'm not!" Wuyue retorted. "I'm perfectly upright, okay?"
"Really? You stole my panties yesterday. Now you have absolutely no credibility."
"People who suddenly barge in while others are showering have no right to say that."
Wow!
Wuyue felt as if she had been hit by a critical strike, and she knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands. "Stop talking! Stop talking! I am, I am a pervert!"
"So, Captain Pervert... is today's patrol mission complete?"
"If possible, let's go back soon. I'm a little hungry, you perverted captain."
The two women looked down at him with disdain in their eyes.
"Can you please stop this?!" Wuyue said in a pleading tone, "At least give me some face."
"Ah, I think so. After all, he's a Jonin; he needs to maintain some dignity."
"Yes, yes. After all, he's the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history. We can't afford to offend him too much."
"Hey! This is too much! You guys are really going too far!" Standing up, Wuyue clutched her head and said, "He's just a mere Jonin, and you've been talking about him for two months, two whole months!"
A mere... Jonin?
Kurenai and Shizune exchanged a glance, both feeling utterly speechless.
Jonin, a level that some ninjas never seem to reach in their entire lives, but the boy in front of them seemed to take it for granted. If someone else had said that, the two girls might have thought it was arrogant and conceited, but coming from Mugetsu, it seemed perfectly natural to them.
After all, he's only eight years old! To be promoted to Jonin at the age of eight, his future is bound to be limitless!
Hey.
Not long after Wuyue finished speaking, a ninja hawk suddenly flew towards them and circled above their heads.
Kurenai looked up and said, "This is a signal to assemble. Has something serious happened?"
"Probably." Wuyue narrowed her eyes. "Anyway, let's go back first." With a flash, she left first. The two women didn't waste any more words and followed closely behind.
Konoha Camp.
As Mugetsu and the others entered the main camp, Tsunade was issuing orders to Nara Shikaku in front of her. "Have all stationed troops, including those on the left and right flanks, move out within one day and concentrate them on the central line."
Nara Shikaku frowned and said, "But if that's the case, what about headquarters..."
"I will oversee things here," Tsunade said calmly. "Meanwhile, the garrison at headquarters will remain stationary to guard against any possible surprise attacks."
"Yes, I understand." Nara Shikaku nodded, turned around and glanced at Mugetsu and the others before leaving.
"Tsunade-sensei, what happened?" Mugetsu asked after Nara Shikaku left...
"This is indeed a big event for us."
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Tsunade uttered a startling statement. "In the past two months, the Sand Village ninja, whom we have suppressed in every way, seem to be making a desperate gamble. Reliable intelligence indicates that all their forces stationed on the border of the Land of Rivers are rapidly assembling and rushing towards our heartland."
what? !
Wuyue was stunned, her face full of astonishment. "Have these Sand Ninja gone mad? Although they have a lot of people, their elite forces are no match for ours. Where do they get the confidence to challenge us?"
"Forced group?"
"Oh, so you mean you want to challenge us to a decisive battle."
"It's not confidence, it's helplessness. You should know... after our last surprise attack, the morale of the Sand Village ninja has plummeted, and they've suffered repeated defeats lately. If this continues, they'll have no chance of turning the tide."
"So, this is a desperate gamble?"
"Pretty much. And that's only one reason. The other reason is the battlefield between the Sand Village and the Iwa Village. It's said that the Iwa Village has mobilized almost half of its ninjas. Eight thousand against four thousand, how many days can the Sand Village hold out? Moreover, they don't have the same comprehensive logistical support as us. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Sand Village."
"5.9 I see." Wuyue nodded in realization and said, "If that's the analysis, then it makes sense. So, teacher... do you have any tasks to assign us?"
Tsunade said seriously, "Yes, tomorrow you will lead your squad to the ambush point we have set up. In any case, protect yourselves first. Also, study Shikaku's command strategies carefully; they will be useful to you in the future."
Will it be useful later?
Wuyue scratched his head. What the heck? Is this some kind of plan to cultivate his strategic command skills? Maybe not. He doesn't want to be Hokage, why bother learning command?
075 Fierce battle, fierce battle!
At dusk.
In the southwestern corner of the River Country, on a pebble beach, Mugetsu peeked out from behind a huge rock wall, her gaze fixed on the distance.
For this skirmish, Konoha prepared a total of four battle lines: three vertical and one horizontal. The first horizontal line was at the forefront, used for early warning and reconnaissance. The other three vertical lines were positioned in ambush along the Sand Ninja's likely route. Like three sharp knives, they were ready to deliver a fatal blow as soon as the Sand Ninja showed themselves.
Wuyue and her team were positioned on the leftmost of the three vertical lines, responsible for intercepting the enemy on the right flank.
"They're...not here yet?" Jingyin, standing beside him, sounded somewhat anxious.
After all, it's the first time participating in such a formal battle. It's like a high school senior facing the college entrance exam, when they are truly testing their abilities. It's normal to have such emotions.
"Don't rush," Wuyue calmly advised. "Relax and adjust your breathing."
"What should we do next?" Kurenai seemed to be in a slightly better state of mind than Shizune, but she was still a little confused about how to fight this kind of charge battle.
"No need to think too much, just use your ranged abilities to intercept the enemy."
With the air of a captain, Mugetsu said, "Whether it's kunai, shuriken, or ninjutsu, just use them on any enemy you see. Yeah, just like you did to me two months ago. As for the rest... you don't need to worry about them."
Is that so?
"I see!"
Having clarified the next steps, the two women nodded seriously. They weren't stupid; they didn't bother asking the other party pointless questions like why close combat wasn't necessary.
call out.
At that moment, a dark red signal flare shot into the air and exploded directly in front of them.
