Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

That shouldn't seem too far-fetched.

Although she is still much older than Mikoto, she has the advantage of not being a widow.

I feel a little bad for Misaka.

Thinking of this, Tsunade's gaze towards Shirokumo Aoba changed slightly.

Bai Yunqingye couldn't understand the expectant yet urging look in his eyes.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

Shirokumo Aoba promptly slipped out of the Hokage's office.

But I don't know where to go next.

They can't go home for the time being, and Uzuki Yugao and Konan are setting rules for Yugito.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go to Loulan to see Sai and Sara.

He hadn't contacted the other party for a while, so he took the opportunity to ask Sai when he would be coming to Konoha.

Baiyun Qingye had mentioned this matter to the other party before, and this was also a way for her to meet her sister, whom she had not yet met, and her parents.

After all, we'll be living together in the future.

Although Sai hesitated for a moment, he agreed, saying that he needed to arrange things back home first.

Now is the perfect time to go ask.

Just as he was about to unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique, someone called out to him again.

"Lord Aoba, are you free right now?"

Bai Yunqingye turned her head to look, "Linen clothes?"

Mabu-i was standing at the door of an office.

White hair, brown skin, and a pair of long legs encased in black stockings, pressed tightly together beneath a bodycon skirt...

Strangely enough, although she was dressed as a mature woman, her appearance was somewhat childlike, making her completely lack any sense of authority.

She has the skin tone of a hot girl, but her personality is very gentle and obedient.

Shirokumo Aoba was also very curious. How could a girl with a personality like Mabui be raised in that godforsaken place, Kumohime?

Is something the matter?

Bai Yunqingye was somewhat surprised, as the other party rarely sought him out alone like this.

"Um... Yugito hasn't come these past two days, is something wrong?"

Mabu-i's eyes darted away slightly; clearly, this wasn't the question she really wanted to ask.

However, Baiyun Qingye didn't care. Last night, he heard Yukito complain that the two of them often gossiped about her.

Although she complained, she wasn't actually that angry; she just didn't understand why the two of them were being so gossipy.

It can only be said that gossiping is human nature.

Since the other party had asked, Bai Yunqingye answered directly.

"She's not feeling well today and it's not a good day for her to go out."

Are you sick?

Mabu-i's expression was full of worry, and her previous unease temporarily disappeared.

Yugito is a Jinchūriki, so his body will generally not have any problems.

The fact that I can't go out because of health reasons suggests that something very serious has happened.

"Well..."

After thinking for a while, Baiyun Qingye spoke somewhat bluntly.

"Well... as you know, Yukito is my girlfriend now, so... something happened last night, and Yukito is too tired, so she can't come today."

"Huh?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ma Buyi immediately understood, and her face flushed slightly.

"Oh... I see. I thought Yugito was sick."

She hadn't expected that things had progressed this far between them; no wonder Yugito had been grinning like an idiot for the past two days.

So it turns out they've already become adults ahead of all of them.

However, the books all say that only oxen die from exhaustion.

Ten minutes is already impressive for a guy, would it really make Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, unable to move around?

Mabuyi was still a little confused.

Her experience all came from books.

"Alright, you already know about Yugito's matter. You called me over, there must be more to it than just that, right?"

Baiyun Qingye looked at the other person with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mabuya came to her senses. Although she was no longer as flustered as before, her pretty face was still flushed.

She stepped aside to make room and bowed slightly as she spoke.

"Lord Aoba, may we talk in the office?"

"Ah."

Chapter 550: Don't contact me again after this...

"..."

Baiyun Qingye sat in the main seat of the office, silently looking at a piece of letter paper in her hand.

Samui and Mabui naturally couldn't let Baiyun Qingye stand and listen to them, so after Baiyun Qingye came in, they took the initiative to stand aside and let him sit in the main seat.

When Shirokumo Aoba first saw the contents of the document, her expression inevitably showed a hint of surprise, but the more she read, the more amused she became.

But Samui and Mabuyi seemed a little nervous.

Why are you two so nervous?

Baiyun Qingye put down the letter and looked at the two of them with feigned confusion.

It has to be said that the two have contrasting appearances: one is blonde and the other is white-haired, or rather, one is fair-skinned and the other is dark-skinned.

Their temperaments are one of aloofness and the other of gentleness.

Just standing there is enough to attract attention.

White clouds and green leaves are no exception.

However, the two of them were clearly not in the mood to care about each other's gazes at the moment.

Samui couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly, "Lord Aoba, we received this letter by chance when we were having dinner after get off work a couple of days ago. We can accept whatever you want to do with it."

"This is no small matter. Are you really willing to accept any punishment?"

Baiyun Qingye's playful tone made the two of them think of something unpleasant.

It was as if someone was whispering in their ears, "You don't want this to happen to you either..."

Mabui's expression became hesitant. "Lord Aoba, you're already Yukito's boyfriend..."

Although she had previously said to Yugito that it was fine to be with Shirakumo Aoba, she only said that on purpose so that Yugito would better control her proud and arrogant nature.

However... if Baiyun Qingye really made such a request, they definitely wouldn't be able to refuse.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, just kidding. You don't need to be nervous. I'm not going to punish you for this."

"If you're so worried, why show this to me in the first place? You could have just ignored it."

As he spoke, he shook the letter again.

This document was delivered to Samui and Mabui by a merchant from Kumogakure who entered Konoha.

The Hidden Cloud Village wanted to use the two men's identities in Konoha to obtain information about the Akatsuki organization that Konoha possessed.

Samui and Mabui were actually being monitored by secret agents.

However, after the two demonstrated amazing work abilities and worked diligently in handling various affairs of Konoha, the Anbu who were secretly monitoring them were withdrawn at the suggestion of Shirakumo Aoba.

There's no need to waste limited human resources on this kind of thing.

That's why the Hidden Cloud Village had the opportunity to deliver the letter to the two of them.

In other words, as long as Samui and Mabui remain silent about this matter, no one actually knows about it.

After informing the Hidden Cloud Village about the Akatsuki organization, they might even get a chance to return to the village.

But they still spoke out.

When Shirokumo Aoba proposed removing the surveillance, he considered the possibility of the two contacting Kumogakure, but still chose to give them a certain degree of trust.

And now, their actions can be considered a fitting reward for the trust he placed in them.

Upon hearing this, both of them remained silent for a while.

In the end, it was Samui who spoke up, "We just think it would be better to tell Lord Aoba, so that we can give up the idea of ​​returning to Kumogakure."

They didn't know how much sense of belonging they still had to the Hidden Cloud Village, after all, it was the Hidden Cloud Village that had abandoned them.

Although choosing the Eight-Tails over them would be a perfectly reasonable decision, people are driven by emotions.

As ninjas, they could certainly die for the village, but voluntary sacrifice and being sacrificed are different.

As abandoned ninjas, they did not leak any information about the village, which was more than enough for them.

Moreover, their life in Konoha that year wasn't actually bad.

With Tsunade and Aoba Shirakumo as their backers, their status in Konoha is not much different from that in Kumogakure.

It was even easier in Konoha.

After all, back in Kumogakure, he was under the tutelage of the Fourth Raikage, a man with a notoriously bad temper. Once his temper flared up, not even a few oxen could hold him back, and he might even elbow you at the slightest provocation.
