Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

For four years, from the age of eight to twelve, Yu Ming regarded Uzuki Yugao as his older sister.

Because she was really good to Yu Ming.

Hearing Yu Ming's words, although she was very happy, she still calmly said, "You should take good care of yourself."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Sister Xi Yan, I still prefer to see you smile."

Neji and Lee, who had been flitting between Yu Ming and Uzuki Yugao, said somewhat helplessly, "Can you two please take care of us? Yu Ming, your words are a bit disgusting."

Neji retorted.

Yu understood Neji's meaning at a glance.

What does this guy know? Yu Ming makes Uzuki Yugao happy.

He knew very well that Uzuki Yugao was heartbroken after Gekko Hayate died, especially during those three years when she came to see Yu Ming many times, but Yu Ming was never there.

This made Yu Ming feel somewhat ashamed.

Before Yu Ming became so powerful, a lot of the information was found for him by Uzuki Yugao.

For Yu Ming, Uzuki Yugao is very important to him.

Yu Ming felt ashamed that such an important person couldn't find him during her most heartbroken time.

Chapter 239 First Meeting with the Two Yukito

The four of them soon arrived in the Land of Demons.

At this time, the Land of Demons was in a state of panic. When the four of them arrived outside the capital of the Land of Demons, they were stopped at the gate by the army of the Land of Demons.

However, after Yu Ming produced Tsunade's scroll, the soldiers of the Land of Demons let the four pass.

When Yu Ming and his companions entered the capital, they saw that everyone in the city was building a complex structure.

Although they knew that this was not enough to stop the ghost army, they could hold them off for a little longer.

Once the priestess is sealed away, the Land of Demons can regain its peace.

After traversing the main streets of the capital, Yu Ming and his companions finally arrived at the priestess's palace.

Guided by Ashiho, the four of them arrived before the shrine maiden.

The moment she saw Yu Ming, the shrine maiden was completely stunned. "Mr. Yu Ming?"

The shrine maiden's name was Shion, and she actually knew Yu Ming.

Yu Ming was also taken aback, as he didn't know when he had met Zi Yuan.

The shrine maiden stood up from her seat, walked up to Yu Ming, and excitedly said, "Mr. Yu Ming, is that you?"

Yu Ming nodded. "Yes, but I don't think I know Her Highness the Priestess."

Uzuki Yugao, Neji, and the other two were also curious as to why Shion knew Yumei.

After thinking about it, Azusa finally understood why the shrine maiden was not afraid at all when the demon appeared. Could it be that Shion had foreseen something again, or perhaps Yumei was the one who could help Shion seal the demon this time?

You should know that when the demon first appeared, Shion was devastated.

Because trying to seal away the demons could lead to death; it's very dangerous.

The previous priestess sacrificed her life to seal away the demon.

The demon is an extremely powerful monster that is not so easy to defeat. If it could be resealed so easily, it would not have almost destroyed the world in the first place.

Ziyuan looked at Yuming and smiled, "Mr. Yuming appeared in my dream."

Yu Ming finally understood and looked at Zu Sui, asking, "What's going on?"

Yu Ming naturally couldn't immediately reveal that he knew the priestess had the ability to make prophecies.

Ashiho explained, "Mr. Yumei, it's because the priestess has the ability to foresee things in dreams, and her prophecies have always been very accurate."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ming nodded.

"This ability is truly terrifying."

Yu Ming simply didn't want to ask Zi Yuan what the outcome she had predicted was.

Judging from the shrine maiden's expression, it must be a good outcome.

However, Yu Ming didn't really know much about the demon, since he only knew that Naruto and Shion resealed the demon in the end.

However, it did not demonstrate the power that a demon capable of destroying the world should have.

Therefore, Yu Ming did not believe that the demon was only that kind of strength, and that it would definitely be stronger.

Yu Ming felt that he could help Zi Yuan seal it away.

Ziyuan looked at Yuming with great joy. In the prophecy, it was Yuming who helped her reseal the demon, and she was still alive.

Therefore, Ziyuan knew that Yuming was the only person who could save her.

After learning about the situation from Shion, Yu Ming instructed Uzuki Yugao to stay by Shion's side and protect her closely.

Yu Ming, Neji, and Lee stayed outside the palace.

Outside the palace, there were several rooms. When Yu Ming arrived there, he saw some familiar faces.

Upon seeing this person, Yu Ming was stunned. "Samui? What are you doing here?"

Samui, who was discussing with the two Yugito how to protect Shion, heard the familiar voice and turned around to look.

He said coldly, "It's you. I knew Konoha would send you."

Although Samui's expression was cold, Yu Ming could tell that Samui was happy.

Her personality was originally very cold.

Neji and Lee were both puzzled as to why Yu Ming knew someone from Kumogakure.

Yu Ming walked over to Samui and the others, and sat down next to Samui without any hesitation.

"I didn't expect that the Hidden Cloud Village would send you here."

The people sent by Kumogakure were Yugito Nii, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, as well as Omoi, Karui, and Samui.

It can be said that Kumogakure attaches great importance to this. Samui and Yugito Nii are both Jonin of Kumogakure, and Yugito Nii is a genuine Kage-level powerhouse.

It is estimated that Tsunade sent out two Jonin, Neji and Tsunade, because the Hidden Cloud Village sent out two Jonin.

Among the younger generation, only Yu Ming and Neji were promoted to Jonin.

The two Yugito looked at Yu Ming with very serious expressions, but they did not smile. They had the same personality as Samui, and were very aloof.

However, she was actually very curious about Yu Ming.

Karui and Omoi were completely stunned when they saw Yu Ming. "Yu Ming?"

Yu Ming was a year younger than both of them, but the difference in strength between them and Yu Ming was not small.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Regarding the matter of the demons, I think the fact that your village sent you here already shows that Yunyin Village is aware of how terrifying the demons are."

"Our most important task now is to protect the priestess and escort her safely to the body where the demon is sealed."

Yu Ming, completely oblivious to the fact that he wasn't from Kumogakure, started speaking directly.

Samui listened attentively to Yu Ming's words.

Omoi and Karui were the same, because they knew just how strong Yuming was.

However, the two Yugitos frowned as they looked at Yuming. "Mr. Yuming, you are a ninja from Konoha. Is it appropriate for you to be here instructing the ninjas of our Kumogakure?"

Although the Hidden Cloud Village also sent people to escort Shion this time, there was not much communication between the villages at this time.

Even an alliance like Konoha and Sunagakure isn't this close.

Yu Ming turned his gaze to the two wooden figures.

He chuckled and said, "This must be the famous Jonin, Yugito Nii. Yugito Nii is a ninja who can completely control tailed beasts."

(Qian Hao) Upon hearing this, Sam Yi pulled on Yu Ming's clothes.

"Jonin Yugito has a bit of a temper, so don't provoke her."

Yu Ming looked at Samui and smiled.

He patted her hand and looked at the two Yugitos, saying, "Actually, the most important thing right now is probably not which village we are from, but how to escort the priestess to the Swamp Country. So I think we should cooperate. What do you think?"

Yu Ming did not directly unleash his power to force Yugito Nii to submit, because he knew very well that Yugito Nii was a woman who fought to the death against Hidan and Kakuzu, and would compromise because of Yu Ming's great strength.

Some people can't be won over by sheer strength alone.

Yu Ming is not the kind of person who wants to suppress others just because he has great strength.

To be precise, he prefers a combination of persuasion and pressure.

Therefore, this is different from when he directly unleashed chakra in the Land of Water to intimidate Samui and the other two.

Chapter 240 Are you confident you can complete this mission?

Now Yu Ming plans to talk to the two Yu Muren; he has plenty of time anyway.

However, Samyi's whispered reminder surprised Yu Ming.

This woman seems to have changed her impression of me a lot. Before, in the Land of Water, she treated Yu Ming no better than the two Yukito.

The fact that they are now willing to remind Yu Ming is a very good start.

The two Yugito looked at Yu Ming with icy expressions. "I know you are strong, but the Fourth Raikage's instructions for this mission were to protect the priestess, not to follow your orders."

The two Yukitos had a very firm attitude.

Neji and Lee both frowned. In fact, they both felt that Konoha and Kumogakure should act separately, since the two villages hadn't had a good relationship to begin with.

Although the two villages signed a ceasefire agreement after the Third Shinobi World War.

But you should know that Neji's father died because of Kumogakure.

The fact that he can stand here calmly and carry out his mission is already a testament to his remarkable restraint.

Yu Ming, who was originally sitting next to Samui, suddenly appeared next to the two Yugito and laughed, "Yugito Jonin, as a ninja, don't you know what it means to be adaptable? You're supposed to be a Jonin from Kumogakure, is this all you've got?"

"You need to understand that this mission cannot fail. If the Priestess cannot seal the demon, our Land of Fire may be destroyed. Do you think your Land of Thunder will be any better off?"

"And I didn't say to listen to me, it's just that both sides can cooperate."

The two Yukito listened to Yu Ming's words, their gazes slightly narrowed.
