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

The slap in the face came so quickly that Sarah's pretty face flushed slightly, but she remained stubborn.

"alright."

Baiyun Qingye just smiled, finding Sarah's reaction amusing.

He was already a seasoned veteran, so naturally he wouldn't have any special reaction just because Sarah was sitting on his lap.

Sarah pouted, forcing herself to focus on the documents in front of her.

But the warmth emanating from her back always drew her attention.

Finally, the sound of the office door opening brought her a sense of relief.

After spending most of the day picking out clothes, Sai finally appeared in the office.

"Aoba?"

Sai immediately spotted Shirakumo Aoba and Sara sitting together.

Upon noticing Sarah's flushed face, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly walked to the two of them.

After a careful look, and finding that both of them were wearing pants properly, he was relieved.

It wasn't that she was overly cautious, but rather that it was based on experience.

After all, she actually quite likes being here...

It wasn't that she objected to the relationship between Sarah and Aoba, but Sarah was still too young, and...

She had a strange feeling that the two of them would do that in her seat.

My head feels heavy.

"Qingye, now that you're here, why didn't you come to find me?"

Both Baiyun Qingye and Sara were still in a state of surprise.

After all, Sai had spent so long choosing clothes, and they all thought the other would choose a mature and dignified outfit that would suit the Queen of Loulan.

And now-

A white turtleneck sweater was layered under a light purple knitted cardigan, and the lower half was a white cotton long skirt.

The hem of the skirt was precisely positioned a few centimeters below the knee, revealing fair calves and slender ankles.

Although this outfit is quite mature, it also makes Sai look very energetic.

In particular, her very lively eyes were adorned with a light purple eyeshadow.

She doesn't seem like the majestic Queen of Loulan; she's more like a young girl going on a date with her boyfriend.

Under the influence of the Yin Seal, her appearance was indeed not much different from that of a young girl in her prime.

Seeing the two men's surprised expressions, Sai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and then tap his forehead.

Why do you look so stunned? Is there something wrong with my outfit?

"No problem, it looks great."

Bai Yunqingye touched her forehead where she had been tapped and explained, "It's just that I rarely see you dressed like this."

"is it?"

Sai chuckled, "If you like it, Aoba, I can wear this all the time."

"How about... wearing this next time?"

"Cough cough!"

Bai Yunqing couldn't help but cough. He naturally understood what Sai meant by "next time," but he didn't expect the other party to say it in front of Sara.

This person doesn't even want to act anymore.

"What next time?"

Sarah looked at Sai with a puzzled expression.

"Of course, I mean when Aoba comes next time."

"Sai said with a sweet smile, and then lifted Sarah off Baiyun Qingye's lap."

"Alright, now that Aoba is here, we should get going."

"Oh."

Sarah nodded; she couldn't wait to go shopping for new clothes with her teacher.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

With her hands forming a mudra, an identical Sara appeared before the three of them.

"Alright, we're leaving now. The work for the next two days is all yours."

Sara gave commands to her shadow clones. In Loulan, her shadow clones were empowered by dragon vein chakra and could exist for a very long time.

However, after receiving the order, the shadow clone did not move immediately, but stood still in place.

"Ok?"

Sarah blinked, and her shadow clone "Sarah" spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"This isn't fair! Why should I have to work, but you can go on dates with your teacher?"

"what?"

Chapter 567 Sai's Ideas

"This……"

Faced with the suddenly unruly shadow clones, not only Sara, but even Sai and Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

Shirokumo Aoba had only ever seen shadow clones in the original anime and manga that would fight Naruto over the toilet; this was the first time he had ever seen a shadow clone that would oppose the original.

Sarah was somewhat bewildered by the shadow clone's questioning and asked in return, "What did you just say?"

She thought she had misheard.

"Humph!"

The shadow clone "Sarah" snorted softly, and then actually pounced into Baiyun Qingye's arms, making a face at the real body.

"I'm going on a date with my teacher, so you just stay here and work in Loulan!"

Sarah felt her head buzzing as she watched her shadow clone occupy her spot, and the teacher even touched her head. Sarah felt her head was getting heavy.

How dare a mere shadow clone devour its master!

However, unlike Naruto in the original story, she didn't fight with her shadow clones; instead, she directly formed hand seals to dispel them.

"Cough, I didn't expect that shadow clones could be disobedient."

Noticing the girl in his arms had disappeared, and seeing Sara's resentful gaze, Baiyun Qingye coughed awkwardly.

Although it was a shadow clone, it was still Sara, so she got used to patting her head for a while.

Sai smiled without saying a word, but his eyes were filled with pity.

"Humph!"

Sarah gave a disgruntled snort and then used several shadow clones in succession.

then……

Looking at the group of "Sarahs" hanging on Baiyun Qingye like monkeys, she fell into a state of existential doubt.

She could certainly force the shadow clone to stay, but what if the clone simply refuses to work and tries to disengage itself?

"Ha ha!"

Sai finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

However, the laughter quickly subsided; after all, Sarah was her daughter.

"Sarah, why don't you stay in Loulan and help your mother with her work? Qingye can play with you next time."

"I don't want to! Waaaaah—"

Sarah pouted and, after dispelling the shadow clone, threw herself into Baiyun Qingye's arms, looking very aggrieved.

Bai Yunqingye helplessly touched her hair, feeling a pang of sympathy for her aggrieved expression.

"Sarah, use Shadow Clone Technique one more time. Let me try to persuade her."

"it is good!"

Sarah readily agreed, after all, she herself listened to her teacher so much, her shadow clone would surely do the same.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

-

"Is this your home in Konoha, Aoba?"

Looking at the sizable residential area around them, with many trees planted nearby, Sai was slightly surprised and curious.

Although this place certainly couldn't compare to the Queen's Building in Loulan, it far exceeded her expectations.

Hmm, the environment is surprisingly nice.

If I were no longer queen, living here wouldn't be so bad...

It looks like only a few houses are occupied nearby; there are probably many other empty houses.

It shouldn't be a problem for her to move in after she retires.

"Well, to be precise, this is the Senju clan's territory... it's my teacher's home, but my teacher's home is my home too."

Baiyun Qingye explained.

"A teacher?"

Sai seemed to be deep in thought. Aoba had once said that she had many girlfriends who were older than him, one of whom was almost forty years older than him.

That must be his teacher.
