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

This vast Land of Fire is destined to be overthrown by Konoha, that ambitious and damned Hokage!

"Alright, let's leave it at that. When you regain your senses next time, it may be the time when I become a daimyo and behead you, this traitor."

Shirokumo Aoba stood up from her seat, and the vines that had been entwining Kazuma tightened their grip even more.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"

Kazuma, overwhelmed by the increasingly intense feeling of suffocation, fainted amidst his anger and humiliation.

Shirokumo Aoba turned and walked out of the conference room, speaking to the ANBU ninja standing at the door.

"Lock them up first and keep them in a coma."

"Yes!"

After explaining everything, Baiyun Qingye returned to her office.

He pushed open the door and saw that Jingyin was still sitting in her seat looking at the documents, but her legs seemed to be a little numb from sitting for a long time, so she put her feet up on the desk, her small feet in black stockings facing him.

Bai Yun Qingye raised an eyebrow slightly, "Sister Jingyin, you don't look very elegant like that."

Shizune rolled her eyes, but didn't pull her foot back. She said somewhat matter-of-factly, "I've been sitting for so long and helped you with so much work. What's wrong with stretching my legs a little?"

"Of course, no problem, it's just..."

Bai Yunqingye stepped forward and asked silently.

Aren't you worried about someone seeing you like this?

"Besides you, who else would not knock on the door?"

Shizune tried to pull back, but Baiyun Qingye held her tightly, and she couldn't break free.

"I can't work anymore!"

Shizune glared at him.

I was already annoyed by all this work. The title of "Mrs. Daimyo" is for the future, but all this work is right in front of me.

"I'm just worried that you're too tired, Sister Shizune."

Shirokumo Aoba wore an expression of consideration for his girlfriend.

Shizune struggled a couple more times, but couldn't help blushing, and said coquettishly, "...!"

"?!"

Baiyun and Qingye looked completely bewildered.

-

Not long after.

With a flushed face, Jingyin staggered out of the office.

The target is Mikoto Uchiha's office.

Chapter 658 Mikoto Uchiha's Misunderstanding

When Mikoto Uchiha was sitting in her office and saw Shizune, her face flushed and her steps somewhat unnatural, walk in, her brain couldn't help but buzz for a moment.

Others might not notice the subtle changes in Silent's movements, but the experienced woman immediately noticed the difference.

And we learned the reason.

The question is, why are you looking for her so soon after it ended?

"Jingyin, what are you doing here?"

After regaining her senses, Mikoto Uchiha's cheeks flushed slightly.

Although she had already learned a lot of new knowledge from Baiyun Qingye, she was still a little shy.

Shizune noticed the slight change in Mikoto Uchiha's expression and naturally understood that the other party had figured it out. Her face also turned slightly redder.

However, he managed to maintain his composure and said with a straight face, "Qingye wants to talk to you about something."

"Find me?"

Mikoto Uchiha was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought suddenly came to her mind.

He came to see her right after he finished talking to Shizune?

What are we supposed to do?

Could it be that muting the sound prevents Aoba from fully enjoying himself?

Of course, she wasn't resisting, it was just that it was in the Hokage's office...

This kind of thing is really too embarrassing.

What if someone finds out?

"How about... we let Xiaonan go? After all, she has more experience in this area."

"Huh? What are you talking about, Mikoto? Only you can do this. Minami can't do it; she doesn't have the ability."

Shizune looked at Uchiha Mikoto, who was speaking recklessly, and didn't quite understand her thought process.

She had just learned from Shirokumo Aoba about the subsequent plans targeting the Daimyo. The best way to use genjutsu to control those guardian ninjas and complete the series of complex tasks was to have members of the Uchiha clan take action.

After all, those guardian ninjas were all quite strong, but Shirokumo Aoba's strength was too far beyond their limits, which is why he was defeated in one move.

It would be safer to have several Uchiha members skilled in genjutsu attack together.

"I have to go?!"

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes widened.

"Ah."

Silent nodded seriously.

Mikoto Uchiha fell silent, as if she were going through some kind of internal struggle.

Xiao Nan can't do it, so only she can go...

This made her feel somewhat happy, but also inexplicably gave her a strange sense of responsibility.

"I...I know."

After some hesitation, Uchiha Mikoto resolutely stood up amidst Shizune's questioning gaze and walked outside.

Shizune couldn't help but tilt her head. She felt that Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have misunderstood something, but she didn't know why.

She came here to deliver a proper message, but Mikoto seems to be thinking about something inappropriate.

Despite her doubts, she had no intention of going with Uchiha Mikoto, and instead sat down on the sofa next to her.

She has been diligent and conscientious ever since she became the Hokage's secretary. Can't she even take a break?

The main issue is that she still feels something is off about her feet.

Maybe it's because just now...

-

Mikoto Uchiha arrived at the Hokage's office with a mix of trepidation and excitement. So nervous was she that she didn't notice Shizune hadn't followed her.

Even when she saw Bai Yunqingye, she didn't know how to start a conversation.

She stood there with her head down, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Although Aunt Mikoto's posture was cute, it left Shirakumo Aoba somewhat puzzled.

What's going on here?

"Aunt Mikoto, why do you seem a little nervous?"

Baiyun Qingye directly voiced her doubts.

"Huh? Really...really? I...I'm not nervous."

Uchiha Mikoto raised her head and gave Shirakumo Aoba a smile as usual, though the smile seemed somewhat forced.

Baiyun Qingye: "..."

You practically had the word "nervous" written all over your face.

"cough."

Mikoto Uchiha seemed to realize that her behavior had been a bit too obvious, so she coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Um... Aoba... is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

Although it was meant to change the subject, Shirakumo Aoba sensed that Uchiha Mikoto seemed even more nervous after she finished speaking, and then realized that she might have misunderstood something.

For example, the reason for calling her over, etc...

Baiyun Qingye smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing major. There's a mission coming up that requires a few ninjas with outstanding genjutsu abilities, so I'd like you, Aunt Mikoto, to find a few members of the Uchiha clan who are skilled in genjutsu... Hmm? Aunt Mikoto, are you even listening to me?"

"Huh? I'm listening! I'm listening!"

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized from Aoba Shirakumo's words that she had misunderstood.

No wonder they said Xiao Nan couldn't do it; only she could.

Oh, so that's how it is.

Honestly, they didn't even explain why they were muting it, and they acted like they couldn't handle it.

It made her so...so nervous!

Uchiha Mikoto pouted and couldn't help but mutter several curses about Shizune in her heart. Noticing Shirakumo Aoba's increasingly strange gaze, she quickly said, "I'll go to the clan to make arrangements right now."

After saying that, he immediately turned to leave, feeling ashamed and indignant.

But Baiyun Qingye suddenly called out to her again.

"Aunt Mikoto, let's not rush this. I have something else important to tell you."

"Wha...what is it?"

Mikoto Uchiha stopped in her tracks, but tensed up again.

Is it...is it coming?

Shirokumo Aoba smiled again, "Actually, it's about Sasuke..."
