“Then drink more milk to supplement your nutrition, otherwise you won’t grow up…” the girl’s mother said.

Upon hearing these comments, Saori smiled gently.

"Boss, another bowl, please!!"

Passing by the food street, Princess Amamiya sat in a shop, enjoying a hearty meal of mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish), with bowls piled up almost to the ceiling on the table!

"Eating like a madman first thing in the morning, huh, no wonder it's a giant snake!" Saori sneered.

Years ago, her relationship with the goddess was extremely tense, and they almost came to blows in the street.

Afterwards, Saori became curious about the origins of the goddess and tried to get closer to her. In just one meal, she managed to find out all of the goddess's secrets!

Shinki is the niece of the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave. She carries the mission of the White Snake Sage and uses her beauty to win over Uchiha Yu, a young talent from the human world.

So she really is a potential love rival? What should I do? Should I poison her? That's a bit risky, considering she has powerful connections... Saori thought to herself.

In the end, Saori accepted the advice of the chief strategist of Nadeshiko Province and used endless delicacies to firmly bind the goddess to her...

Saori suggested to Ankage that they introduce local delicacies from various regions. Shinki quickly succumbed to the power of human cuisine, spending all her time on overeating and forgetting even her grandmother's instructions!

"Eat, eat, eat until you're as big as a python and bury yourself in the ground to hibernate. That way, I'll have one less competitor... I can stay openly by Lord Yu's side during the day~ This is what they mean by being near the water tower and getting the moon first. Sooner or later, I'll take over the nighttime too, hehehehehehehe."

Thinking of this, Saori felt refreshed and her walking rhythm became cheerful.

At the entrance to the Shadow Office, Saori stopped, took out a small mirror, touched up her makeup, straightened her clothes, and then pushed the door open to enter.

The shadow was gone, but a woman stood in front of the desk, her back to him, her long black curly hair cascading down her back. Just by looking at her back, you could tell she was a beauty.

Saori frowned: Who is this woman?

The person turned around, revealing red pupils, a fair complexion, and distinctive clothing that resembled rolled-up strips of cloth. The right sleeve was red, while the left arm was bare, with a fishnet lining underneath.

Her hands and legs were wrapped in bandages, which made them appear even more toned and slender.

Indeed, she is an outstanding beauty!

Saori was wary, but calmly asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

“I am Kurenai Yuhi, a new member of the Dark Shadow Village. You must be the Shadow Secretary, Princess Nadeshiko Saori. Many years ago, I admired your beauty on the Dark Shadow Village training ground. The Shadow specifically instructed me to find you to collect the Dark Shadow Village uniform and headband, and to complete the transfer procedures,” Kurenai said calmly.

Hidden in the training ground, her graceful figure... Oh, that was the battle where Lord Yu and I fell in love. So, she was a ninja who participated in the Ninja Annual Meeting back then, Kurenai Yuhi. That name sounds familiar; she's from Konoha. Since Saori is capable of being a secretary, her memory must be exceptional. She thought to herself: Lord Yu has already personally interviewed her, so she must at least be at the Jonin level.

She said calmly, "The ninja uniforms of the Hidden Shadow Village need to be tailored to fit your body. Tell me your height, measurements, and weight!"

“Uh, weight 48kg, other than that I… don’t know.” Hong said blankly, “I’ve never measured these before.”

"You don't know? Then how did you make your clothes when you were in Konoha?" Saori asked.

Kurenai truthfully replied, "Konoha's ninja uniforms are issued in bulk, so the size is about right. As for the one I usually wear, it can be adjusted..."

Heh, all that fancy stuff… Saori chuckled and said, “That’s perfect, let me help you measure. Stand by the wall…”

"Okay!" Red nodded obediently and stood by the wall.

Saori came over with a wooden ruler and a leather tape measure: "Take off your shoes."

Hong took off her shoes and stood barefoot by the wall.

Saori measured Hong's height with a wooden ruler: 169 cm... only three centimeters shorter than me?

Setting the wooden ruler aside, Saori continued, "Now, to measure your bust, waist, and hip measurements, step forward and, as you turn around, extend your arms."

"Uh," Hong responded, then reached for her collar.

Why are you taking off your clothes?

"When measuring height, do I have to take off my shoes? When measuring body, do I have to take off my clothes?" Hong asked, bewildered.

Saori: This guy! He's up to no good!

"This is the supreme Shadow Office, such a solemn and dignified occasion. How could you undress like this? It's utterly improper!" Saori's expression was serious, as if she had forgotten what she had done while sitting at that desk.

"Uh, sorry... I'm new here and don't really know the rules," Hong said apologetically, spreading her arms wide.

Saori wrapped the measuring tape around Red's armpit, tightened it, and looked at the size: Hmm? 96.5cm, I didn't expect it to be so well-endowed. It seems to be a hidden big bust. However, it's still a bit less competitive than my 121cm. (Note: The ceiling for bust size in Naruto, Tsunade: 122cm)

Next is waist circumference. Unlike bust and hip circumference, waist circumference is better the smaller it is, otherwise there would be no such thing as a "barrel waist"!

Saori glanced at the size and bit her thumb: "Damn it, it's only a 62! It's even smaller than my 64! It's such a tiny little devil!"

Finally, there's the hip circumference.

Because Saori was holding back her anger, she unconsciously tightened her grip, even cutting the measuring tape deep into her skin...

"Ugh!!" Hong let out a muffled groan, probably because she had something tightened around her, and quickly bit her lip.

creak.

Just then, Lin Yu pushed the door open and entered. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but say speechlessly, "What are you two doing...?"

“Whoosh, whoosh… (This, this is…)” Her face turned completely red.

Saori looked at the data on the measuring tape and smiled to herself: Okay! Only 91 (actually 93), not as good as my 92.5!

Saori stood up and said dignifiedly, "Lord Shadow, I'm taking the measurements for the new members who are reporting for duty today."

Lin Yu praised, "Uh, you even do this kind of thing yourself, Saori... you're as capable as ever!"

“Hmm~ It’s all thanks to Lord Shadow’s excellent guidance.” Saori said, leading the way, “Come on, I’ll take you to get your headband and complete the transfer procedures.”

"Mmm." Hong nodded and followed behind Saori, her beautiful eyes lingering on Lin Yu, a sense of melancholy in her heart: Finally, I'm standing where I can see him. It's more reassuring than the dream I've had for him day and night for the past seven years...

Chapter 345 Sleepless Nights! (2/4)

In the dimly lit office, Lin Yu looked down at a document.

One hundred exiled ninjas from the now-extinct Hidden Cloud Village formed a bandit group called "Thunder God" and ran rampant throughout the Land of Lightning.

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning issued a notice to the entire ninja world: whoever can wipe out the Thunder God Organization will take over the land that was originally the Hidden Cloud Village!

Given the strength of the major ninja villages, wiping out a mere hundred Cloud Village ninjas would be extremely easy!

However, the Land of Lightning also stated in the document that each ninja village is not allowed to send a large number of people into the Land of Lightning. Only a three-person team is allowed to legally enter the Land of Lightning!

Otherwise, even if the commission is completed, it will still be considered illegal border crossing, and the conditions will not be fulfilled.

After Saori served the tea, she asked, "Since they are exiled ninjas from Kumogakure, why doesn't the Land of Lightning recruit and appease them? Haven't they always been generous with their economic support in the past?"

Amidst the swirling smoke, Lin Yu smiled faintly: "The Land of Lightning has long disliked ninjas. They see ninjas as the biggest destabilizing factor, and their vigorous support is nothing more than 'indirect flattery to kill,' making the Hidden Cloud Village feel that it has something to rely on, thus inviting its own destruction! This is a tactic that only a wealthy and powerful ruler like the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning would use!"

"Now that the Hidden Cloud Village has finally been destroyed, the Land of Lightning will definitely try to wipe out its remaining forces. Those exiled ninjas were just forced into this situation..."

"Liangshan?" Saori tilted her head: It means being forced into a corner, right?

"Why doesn't the Land of Thunder send its own troops to wipe them out, instead offering such tempting conditions to seek outside help?"

Lin Yu flicked his cigarette ash and said, "They know that ninjas are difficult to deal with, and that wiping out these exiled ninjas themselves would require a considerable price. So they want to use the various ninja villages to weaken the remnants of Kumogakure first, and then wipe them out on their own..."

"That land of Kumogakure..."

"Heh, it's just an empty promise~ They can only send a three-person team. Even if all the teams from the major ninja villages are combined, it's only a company. How can they possibly complete this mission... That's probably what the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is thinking."

Lin Yu put down the document in his hand, stood up and looked out the window: "Then let's finish it and show it to him. The team will be out tomorrow..."

Saori said, "We have plenty of land of our own, is it necessary for us to covet the Land of Lightning?"

Lin Yu's gaze, hidden beneath his mask, was deep and unfathomable: "If it were merely a piece of land, I certainly wouldn't care. But Yunyin has a secret realm called Hell Valley, where the Fourth Raikage trained to become a monster. I'm very interested in Hell Valley, and if I could legally acquire that land, that would be ideal..."

"I understand, I'll go arrange it now." Saori withdrew.

Just as Lin Yu was about to draw the curtains, a messenger hawk suddenly flew in. He opened the window, let the hawk land on his forearm, took the secret letter tied to its forearm, and after reading the contents, his eyes narrowed slightly.

That night, in Tianyu Pavilion.

The Minato couple came to Lin Yu's home as guests. Xi Yang cooked a table of delicious dishes and set out fine wine.

"Why didn't Naruto come along?" Lin Yu pulled out a chair and sat down.

"That child was busy cultivating, so I didn't invite him to join us..."

"Just like Xiaoxue."

Xiaoxue now spends all her time training, taking Hinata and Sasuke with her. She rarely goes home for dinner, only returning late at night, covered in sweat, taking a shower, and then going to sleep. She gets up before dawn the next day, doing this every day.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Kushina moved the sunset aside, giving Minato and Lin Yu some space.

Minato drank quite a bit of alcohol, and his complicated thoughts were written all over his face.

Lin Yu said, "You came to see me not just to thank me, right?"

"Ah, and there's also an apology... I was wary of you when it came to Kushina having a second child, but even after you found out, you still helped us, and even saved Kushina's life..."

As Minato spoke, tears blurred his face.

This was the first time Lin Yu had ever seen Minato cry since he transmigrated. To be honest, he really wanted to take off his mask and let Minato see his face, but he held back in the end.

Lin Yu said, "If you really feel bad about it, why don't you and your family of four settle down in our Dark Hidden Village? Anyway, you've already ruined your reputation in Konoha."

Minato shook his head, firmly stating, "Kushina and I will not leave Konoha, no matter how difficult it gets. Naruto is also willing to stay with us and even said he wants to become Hokage. I feel ashamed, yet proud of him. As for Kana, Kushina and I discussed it for a long time, and we still think it would be better for her to be fostered by you. I know this request is a bit excessive, but..."

Lin Yu interrupted Minato, saying, "If you want Ke'er to be raised by me as a Konoha ninja, I'll make you get lost. But if you want her to be an Anbu ninja, then there's no problem..."

Minato said, "That's what I'm thinking. Let Kana stay in the Hidden Cavern Village and grow up as an Hidden Cavern ninja..."

Lin Yu nodded: "Also, the one I took over is Namikaze Kodo, not Uzumaki Kodo."

"!?!" Minato was stunned: "This..."

Lin Yu said, "Minato, sometimes, it's not a bad thing to live for yourself."

Minato fell into deep thought.

A few days ago, he had a conflict with Kushina because he wanted Kana to take Kushina's surname, Uzumaki, because he felt that the surname Namikaze would cause Kana trouble.

However, Kushina insisted that Kana take Minato's surname, as this was her wish, and the couple argued endlessly about it.

Minato still had reservations: "But..."

Lin Yu said decisively, "Go ahead and let her boldly take your surname! No one can mess with her here!"

Sigh. A thousand words escaped his lips, condensing into four: "I am deeply grateful!"

"Alright, stop being so mushy, let's keep drinking..." Lin Yu reheated the wine.

"Actually... there's one more thing." Minato's expression was somewhat hesitant.
