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

Furthermore, Yukito has already developed a relationship with Shirakumo Aoba to this extent.

The Hidden Cloud Village is gone forever.

It's better to just say it outright and give up on the idea completely.

Moreover, given Shirakumo Aoba's personality and their relationship with Yukito, their willingness to be honest might earn them more trust.

They also want to improve and don't want to be treated as tools forever.

As for why they didn't just talk to Tsunade directly.

The reason was that the two of them always felt that Tsunade had a kind of inexplicable hostility towards them.

Especially Samui.

How did you respond to them?

Baiyun Qingye asked.

"This document was just sent over in the last couple of days. Since you're not in Konoha, we haven't replied yet."

Samui continued, "What does Lord Aoba think we should reply to them with?"

She's truly a talented secretary; she knows that these kinds of things should be handled by the boss.

"Well, it's just Kumogakure, nothing to take seriously..."

Bai Yunqingye gave a playful smile. "Just tell them not to contact each other anymore, or you might be misunderstood."

"...We understand."

Samui was somewhat helpless; Baiyun Qingye could be quite wicked at times.

She could already imagine the Fourth Raikage's furious reaction when he saw the reply.

"By the way, Lady Aoba, Yugito is unaware of this matter."

At this point, Mabu-i added another sentence.

Baiyun Qingye understood what the other party meant.

This is because he's worried about affecting his relationship with Yukito, and he's trying to explain things on her behalf.

They really are best friends.

True sisters should be inseparable.

"I see."

Bai Yun Qingye smiled and nodded, then asked, "In that case, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

"award?"

Samui and Mabuyi were both slightly taken aback.

"You all did a great job today, so of course you deserve a reward. That will motivate you even more in the future, won't it?"

Samui and Mabui have severed ties with Kumogakure, so Shirokumo Aoba naturally has to reciprocate.

"This one……"

Both of them looked a little stunned. Samui said, "We didn't expect any gifts. It's enough that you don't mind that we brought this up now, Lord Aoba."

Mabu-i nodded in agreement.

“Samyi, you are always so reserved.”

Bai Yun Qingye sighed first, then said helplessly, "What did I do to make you think I would blame you for something like this?"

Chapter 551 Sarah's Suspicion

"This……"

Both of them were slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

The possibility of leaking information would be a very serious matter in any ninja village, wouldn't it?

Why does it seem like the other party doesn't take this seriously at all?

Baiyun Qingye saw through their thoughts and explained helplessly.

"Since you have all handed this letter to me, it means you trust me enough and have no intention of leaking information, so I am naturally willing to give you enough trust in return."

"Besides, we're all family, so you don't have to be so reserved every time. When Yukito visits me at home, she always looks disgusted with me."

"Ah, this..."

Samui and Mabui's initial feelings of trust in Shirokumo Aoba were immediately shattered by the latter's subsequent words.

Both of them were quite puzzled as to why Shirakumo Aoba would choose Yukito.

They couldn't even understand how the two of them could actually be together.

Most people would probably find Yugito troublesome within a day or two.

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. As for this letter, just reply and pretend it never existed."

Bai Yunqingye stood up as well, saying, "We'll keep the reward for now and discuss it when you've thought it through. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"it is good."

The two obediently made way for them.

However, when Baiyun Qingye walked up to the two of them, she saw that Mabuya had a well-behaved expression, her legs were together, and her head was lowered.

He couldn't help but reach out and pat the other person's head.

Perhaps it's because she has a face that makes her look easily bullied, and combined with her sexy secretary outfit, this contrast always evokes a sense of impulse.

"?"

However, his sudden action stunned both Samui and Mabui.

Especially those in linen clothes, their limbs were somewhat stiff.

Baiyun Qingye felt the temperature in her palm rising, so she withdrew her hand.

"Ahem! I told you not to be so reserved. Next time, hold your head up a little higher."

After saying that, Baiyun Qingye left the office.

Only the two of them remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Samui was the first to come to her senses, after all, it wasn't her head that had been touched.

"It seems that you are his next target."

"what?"

The blush on Mabuya's face was still slightly visible; the sudden attack had indeed caught her off guard.

More importantly, Bai Yunqingye is so handsome that she can hardly resist him.

"This...this shouldn't be possible, right? Maybe...maybe he just thinks I'm too reserved and wants me to be more natural."

After thinking for a long time, Mabui could only explain it by following Baiyun Qingye's words.

"Then why does he only touch you and not me?"

Samui spoke in a low, somber tone.

"How...how should I know!"

"Hemp cloth clothes," he said, turning his head away.

Although he used to be sarcastic and sarcastic, when it really came down to it, Mabui's performance wasn't much better.

After all, it's everyone's first time, and no one can be better than anyone else.

"..."

Samui was speechless. "Didn't you say before that if Bai Yunqingye wanted to attack you, you should just agree to it?"

"This……"

Ma Buyi felt her face burning hot.

"I wasn't joking, and besides, it's obvious that you, Sam, are more charming than me."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he just likes your type."

Samui then remembered something and continued, "Didn't Yukito say that Shirokumo Aoba brought back a girl who looks a bit like you?"

"..."

Mabui couldn't say anything more to argue, so she went back to her workstation and started to daydream.

Well, although she kept arguing, she was actually a little happy inside.

Undeniably, Shirakumo Aoba is an exceptionally talented young man.

However, this happiness did not come entirely from being liked by Shirokumo Aoba, but more from a little competition with Samui.

After all these years, no matter where he goes, Samui seems to have two giant magnets attached to him, always attracting everyone's attention immediately.

Although she didn't care much about such things, she still felt a little frustrated.

If she could actually get there before Samui, she would still be secretly delighted.

Meanwhile, Samui on the other side had a similar idea to her.

She could often feel Baiyun Qingye's gaze on her. It was one thing for him to choose Yukito first, but why did he choose Mabuya first?

Whether Bai Yunqingye likes her or not is actually irrelevant; she just doesn't quite understand it.

After all, the three of them grew up together, and compared to Mabui and Yukito, she considered herself to be superior to the two in terms of appearance.

I never expected to encounter setbacks in this area.

Could it be because of Tsunade?

Come to think of it, her attributes do overlap somewhat with Tsunade's...
