Scratching his head vigorously, Wuyue walked through the alley and arrived near the central square.

In the past, this place was very quiet, with hardly any pedestrians to be seen. But today, a large number of ninjas have gathered here.

As the battlefield situation in Iwagakure became clearer, the frontline combat troops were gradually being sent back to their villages. This was the day for registration, numbering, and receiving their battle merits.

Of course, none of this had much to do with Mugetsu. He was in the Hokage's direct squad, and all mission assignments and results settlements were handled by the Hokage's office. As for receiving Jiraiya's mission at the front lines, that was naturally also assigned by the Hokage.

So he only glanced at it before deciding to cross the plaza and head straight for the Hokage Building. However, he seemed to have underestimated his current prestige.

"That's... Lord Mugetsu?"

"Wow! It really is a Celestial Dragon?!"

"A living person! A living, breathing Heavenly Dragon!"

"Lord Mugetsu! You are my idol!"

The moment the first ninja cried out, the entire plaza erupted in cheers! This was the power of an idol. Although the boy before them was not yet ten years old, he had accomplished a feat that most people could never achieve in their entire lives.

From the Sand Ninja fighting the Tailed Beasts alone and turning the tide of battle... to killing the Third Raikage amidst a massive army, and then transforming into a dragon to destroy the "Kannabi Bridge" and cut off the Iwa Ninja's supplies.

These events, one after another, are enough to elevate him to the position of "legendary ninja." Despite being just a young child, his reputation is no less than that of "Yellow Flash" or the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha."

No, it should be said that precisely because of his age, people admire and respect him even more than Minato Namikaze. In most people's eyes, he represents the future of Konoha.

So, naturally, upon seeing him appear, the young Konoha ninjas swarmed over and surrounded him.

"Lord Wuyue, have you recovered?"

"Are you alright now? Does the wound still hurt?"

"Those guys from Iwagakure and Amegakure actually set up such a treacherous trap to ambush you... They're absolutely despicable!"

Are you setting a trap to surround and annihilate me?

Wuyue scratched her head, bewildered. Had the Iwa and Amegakure ninja actually done such a thing? Or was this a rumor spread by the Third Hokage, a deliberate publicity stunt?

Just as Wuyue's thoughts were racing, a female ninja suddenly emerged from the crowd and stood in front of him. "Um... Lord Tianlong, may I ask, do you have a girlfriend?"

Hmm... what the heck is a girlfriend?

Seeing the girl's adoring expression, Wuyue was utterly shocked. Could it be...? No, big sister! Even though you're pretty, you're really not suitable!

Make your choice, dear host.

First, tell everyone you're the panty breaker and get them to confess their love by throwing their panties at you.

Second, tell everyone that you are the "Breast Superman" and that you only love breasts. Then, state your proposal to collect breasts.

Third, since you're actually gay, ask them if they can accept anal sex.

Fourth, you are destined to be the king of pacifiers! You will never accept anything that cannot provide you with nourishment!

Pooh!

Wu Yue inwardly spat. Too lazy to even complain about the system's shamelessness anymore. Clearing his throat, he said, "I, I'm going to be the King of Pacifiers! No, no one can give me milk, I absolutely refuse!"

Anyway, there was no way she could say the third one out loud, and the remaining ones—one, two, four…—didn't matter which one they were; they all seemed about the same level of perversion. So, Wuyue randomly chose the fourth one.

Dull and silent.

The moment his words left his mouth, the entire square fell silent. Everyone's face was filled with bewilderment and disbelief. "Pacifier King... breastfeeding..." Was this something a hero should utter?

Not to mention them, even Wuyue herself felt incredibly ashamed! What the hell is this "Pacifier King"? What the hell is this "Pacifier King"? It's not even as good as Panty Terminator or Bra Superman!

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with an additional fifty days of cultivation and an additional five years of dragon growth cycle."

Upon hearing the system notification that the task was complete, he turned to leave without a word. But at that moment, a girl behind him spoke again. "Um... if you don't mind, I can..."

Wu Yue froze, a look of disbelief on her face. Something was wrong; this script was completely off! Shouldn't they normally look at her like she was trash and send her away?

"If it's Lady Mugetsu, I can do it too!"

"If that's the case, then I can do it too."

"Pah! You clearly already have a boyfriend, don't you..."

"I want to break up with him! With Lord Wuyue by my side, what's the point of having a boyfriend?"

"You bunch of bitches! Lady Wuyue is mine!"

Watching these female ninjas arguing heatedly, Wuyue felt fear for the first time. She finally understood the struggles of those idol stars from her past life!

Not daring to linger any longer, he decisively turned around, used his Instant Step to disappear from the spot.

185 Promotion, Inquiry

Squeak.

The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Mugetsu strolled in. He discovered that the Third Hokage wasn't alone. Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, the three Hokage advisors, were also present, all four pairs of eyes fixed on Mugetsu. Their expressions were varied.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was pleased and proud, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were surprised and scrutinizing, and as for Danzo... he was completely indifferent.

That's normal, after all, the fact that the two don't get along is already obvious. If the other party were to be all smiles and enthusiastic, that would be absurd!

Wuyue merely glanced at him before turning her gaze to the Third Hokage. "Um, did I arrive at the wrong time? Perhaps you could go ahead and get back to your work?"

"No." The Third Hokage shook his head, his expression turning solemn. "We old folks are sitting here precisely for your sake."

"Uh, for me?" Wuyue scratched her head, seemingly puzzled.

“Yes, that’s right.” The Third Hokage put down his pipe, looked up and said, “From now on, your ninja rank will be reassigned to the Anbu. Furthermore, based on my suggestion and the unanimous approval of the Konoha administration… you will be promoted to Vice-Commander of the Anbu, effective immediately.”

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly as soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.

"The Deputy Head of the Dark Division?" Wu Yue scratched her head, equally bewildered. What was going on? She was practically a minor village official, and yet she'd received no prior notice?

“Actually, with your battle achievements… you are qualified to be the head of the Anbu.” The Third Hokage seemed to have misunderstood him and even offered an explanation. “However, considering your age, you will temporarily lead the Anbu as the vice-head. Consider it a trial period.” As he said this, he glanced at Danzo with a subtle look.

"I'll say it again." Danzo seemed completely unconcerned by the other's gaze, and said indifferently, "Such a crucial core department as the Anbu is entrusted to a child who is not even ten years old... It's simply laughable!"

“Age is not a problem,” Hiruzen Sarutobi retorted sharply. “Don’t forget, this child, not even ten years old, accomplished an unexpected feat. Let the facts speak for themselves.”

"Tch. Facts don't matter; this is simply your reason for forming cliques within the Hiruzen Sarutobi faction." Danzo seemed to have no intention of hiding his dissatisfaction, stating bluntly. "Am I right?"

"Danzo, what you're saying is a bit much."

"Even if you have any opinions, don't say things like that... We can talk openly and honestly."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up at the same time.

"There's nothing to talk about." Danzo stood up without giving any face and said, "Remember every decision you made today, Hiruzen Sarutobi! You will regret it..." With that, he stormed out the door without looking back.

"What's going on?" Wu Yue was once again completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand the interaction between these people.

"Ignore him." Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo's retreating figure and said calmly, "Let's continue our previous topic. Besides your promotion, there's another very important piece of information I need to verify with you... Who exactly were the people you encountered on the Iwa ninja battlefield? Were they really Iwa ninja?"

It really is this.

Wuyue was not surprised at all.

After all, quite a few people were paying attention to his battle with Madara Uchiha, even if the Iwa and Amegakure ninjas couldn't recognize Susanoo yet. But with the detailed information being relayed, these old guys in Konoha probably already had some guesses through comparison and description.

"I don't know the specifics, and I can't see what he looks like."

Wuyue said, half-truthfully, "However, I did hear his companions call him Owl. As for whether he's an Iwa ninja, I'm not sure. Because all his ninjutsu and techniques don't seem like something an ordinary Iwa ninja could do." It wasn't that he didn't want to reveal Uchiha Madara's identity, but the incident was far too complex and complicated to explain. He figured no one would believe him if he told them.

"Is that so..." Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, exchanging glances with the two advisors. "If, if we were to assign a category to him in Konoha, what type of person do you think he's more like?"

Why don't you just say Uchiha directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush? I really don't understand your way of thinking!

Wu Yue inwardly complained, but his face showed a troubled and thoughtful expression. But before he could speak, a notification sound interrupted him.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, it's like a pervert peeping into a woman's bathhouse.

Second, like a gay man flaunting his chrysanthemum.

Third, like a cheap woman with big breasts.

Holy crap! What the hell are you calling perverts, gays, sluts... You damn system, can't you be serious for once?

Wu Yue took a deep breath and said, "Like, like a pervert peeping into a women's bathhouse?"

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You will be rewarded with twenty days of cultivation and two years of dragon growth cycle."

puff.

The three old men present simultaneously spat out a mouthful of soda, staring at Wuyue in astonishment. Like a pervert peeping into a women's bathhouse? What kind of answer is that…? What kind of pervert could have such fighting power?

No, that's not right, it seems there really is.

Both Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado turned their gazes toward the Third Hokage. His hometown and his freakish disciple Jiraiya seemed to fit the bill.

cough cough.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. "Mugetsu, could it be... that the other party doesn't have any more obvious characteristics?"

"Yes." This time, Wuyue didn't hesitate at all and said decisively, "His eyes are Sharingan."

186. My favorite thing to do is educate cute little boys.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. I guess I'm really not good at dealing with the elderly and children."

When a weary Mugetsu emerged from the Hokage Building, it was already dusk. Looking up, he could clearly see the sky gradually darkening, with the sunset's afterglow casting a beautiful halo on the horizon.

"Never mind, let's go home and eat first." Withdrawing her gaze, Wuyue's eyes once again turned into dead fish eyes, and she exuded a strong aura of a good-for-nothing as she slowly moved towards the guesthouse area.

But just as they crossed the alley ahead, they heard a sobbing sound coming from not far away. "Waaah, don't come any closer! I don't want to talk to you, you pervert!"

"No! Listen to me, that man is the pervert! Stay away from him!"

"You bastard! You're not allowed to talk about my Mugetsu-onnie like that!"

A short while later, a familiar petite figure emerged from the street and appeared before Wuyue. "Yugao-chan?"

"Muzuki-onii?" Uzuki Yugao, her eyes red-rimmed, widened her gaze as if she had met a savior, and immediately threw herself in front of Muzuki. "Waaah! Muzuki-onii, you're finally recovered! That's great! That's great..." She hugged Muzuki's waist with both hands and burst into tears.

Uh.

Wu Yue's body stiffened for a moment, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only let the other person hold her.

Tapping.

Then, another figure rushed out. It was a boy, also an acquaintance of Wuyue. He was slender, with delicate features, and a flamboyant square scarf wrapped around his head. He was none other than Moonlight Gale.

When enemies meet, they are naturally filled with hatred!
