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

……

……

Samui has completely given up.

The linen clothes on the other side were, of course, even more wretched.

Because her stamina and physical condition were indeed inferior to Samui's, her situation was even more disheveled than the latter's. Her eyes narrowed slightly, filled with moisture.

A pair of long, dark legs were pressed tightly against him.

Her white hair was disheveled, with some strands clinging to her face and obscuring half of it, glistening with sweat.

"Well? Hempen Cloth, isn't it time to admit defeat obediently?"

Samui smiled slightly, her gaze passing over Baiyun Qingye's chest and looking at her good sister on the other side, who was already squinting and beginning to drift off to sleep.

They appeared to be the ultimate victors.

Neither Baiyun Qingye nor Samui expected that Samui would be so competitive in this regard.

But thinking about it, it seems like it already showed up a long time ago.

I even wanted to compete with Yukito back then.

Could it be that she wants to be the eldest among the three?

However, Mabui was already on the verge of collapse.

She was so tired that she just wanted to lean against Baiyun Qingye's chest and fall asleep.

I feel like I'll completely lose consciousness as soon as I close my eyes.

"Admit defeat?"

But after hearing Samui's words, driven by his competitive spirit and with a strength he didn't know he had, he opened his eyes and forced himself to speak in a slightly hoarse voice, wanting to refute her.

"You're only benefiting from having more experience. During this time, Lord Aoba will also help me train more, and it won't be long..."

"Hmm? What will happen soon?"

Samui was waiting for Mabui to finish her sentence so she could refute him, but then she suddenly realized that he had stopped halfway through his sentence.

“The linen-clad woman is already asleep.”

Baiyun Qingye explained, somewhat amused and exasperated.

At the same time, he reached out and smoothed the stray hairs that were stuck to his face with his linen clothes, covering his eyes.

Samyi looked up when he heard this and saw that the man in linen clothes had closed his eyes and was breathing evenly; he was indeed asleep.

"..."

She didn't know what to say for a moment, "This linen coat is useless."

"Alright, don't bully Mabuya too much. After all, it's her first time."

Baiyun Qingye also felt a pang of conscience for Samui, which could be considered as a small act of revenge for Mabui.

“I didn’t bully her. She just wouldn’t admit defeat, okay? And I even helped her just now, okay? She’s clearly repaying kindness with enmity.”

Samui hadn't originally intended to do this; she had only made a couple of sarcastic remarks, but Mabui insisted on competing with her.

Besides, without her help, Mabuya would probably still be in a state of chaos.

"...It seems I misunderstood you. Do you want to get back at me?"

Bai Yunqingye thought about it and realized it was indeed true, so she took the initiative to admit her mistake.

Samui just rolled her eyes at him, then squeezed his hand and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, don't your hands get sore?"

"Ok?"

Bai Yunqingye was slightly taken aback, but then she understood and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, not at all."

The previous duel between the two was actually just like playing arcade games in an arcade when we were kids.

It's the kind of story where each person has one life, and if they die, they take another life.

But they are fundamentally different.

When playing arcade games, if one person is operating the game, the others can only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

This is somewhat different from the situation of the two people just now.

However, Samui clearly underestimated the intensity of Shirakumo Aoba's usual exercise at home.

"That's good."

Samui didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Bai Yunqingye put his arms around the two of them. Seeing that Samui was in pretty good spirits, he brought up a serious matter.

"Samui, I need you to become the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

"what?"

Sami was stunned, clearly not expecting Baiyun Qingye to say such a thing at this time.

Seeing her like this, Baiyun Qingye offered an explanation.

"Now that the Land of Fire and Konoha have recovered enough, I will take action against the other four great nations. After that, I will need you and Mabui to help me manage the Land of Lightning."

Chapter 740 Even Kurotsuchi Has a Tsundere Attribute

"This……"

Samui was momentarily stunned, because Baiyun Qingye's attitude was too nonchalant.

However, she did not doubt Bai Yunqingye's abilities; if he said it, he could definitely do it.

This is not something she needs to care about.

"So what do I need to do?"

"Well... then you should think about how to quickly stabilize the situation in various parts of the Land of Lightning after dealing with the daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

Baiyun Qingye then added, "You're quite clever, so while you're at it, think about the situation in the Land of Water, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Wind as well. I'll organize a Five Kage Summit in a while, and you can tell Sister Mei and Kurotsuchi about it then."

This was something he originally planned to discuss at the Five Kage Summit some time later, but since Kumogakure is now a ninja village under Konoha's jurisdiction, he simply told Samui directly.

"..."

Samui couldn't help but roll her eyes and mutter, "They're both women in the same bed, so how come Yugito can get away with it so easily?"

"It's mainly due to the wooden doll's abilities... cough cough, anyway, she's good at cooking at home. If you ask her to do these things, her brain isn't up to the task."

Shirakumo Aoba did allow Yugito to experience the work of the Hokage's secretary, but as he said...

It would be better to just let her and Qin stay home and cook.

At least after practicing cooking for so long, my skills are not bad at all.

"..."

Samui was speechless. "Then I'll talk to Mabui again when she wakes up tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Baiyun Qingye could only lower her head and kiss the other person's lips as a gesture of comfort.

Although Samui's face was expressionless, he still responded attentively.

She's a girl who seems cold on the outside but is warm on the inside.

Yes, it's definitely very hot inside.

After Samui had recovered some of her energy, she tidied up the room and asked the other party to take care of Mabui before leaving.

He had only come to have dinner with Samui, planning to chat for a bit afterward before leaving.

And other things.

But no one expected that Samui's purpose was to put on such a show in front of Mabui.

However, the contrasting black and white colors made him linger for a while.

-

Leave Samui's room.

The scene where Baiyun Qingye reappeared was a place he didn't often visit.

The Tsuchikage Building, the Tsuchikage Office.

Baiyun Qingye came here sensing the Flying Thunder God mark on Kurotsuchi, but she didn't expect that Kurotsuchi would still be in the office so late.

Looking at Kurotsuchi who was currently reading the documents, Shirokumo Aoba couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This guy was showing signs of developing into Naruto from Boruto.

That won't do.

Kurotsuchi, who was looking at the documents, noticed an unusual gaze and looked up as if she sensed something. She then saw Shirokumo Aoba looking at her with a sigh.

Somewhat surprised, he then seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a sarcastic tone, "What brings you here all of a busy man like yourself?"

"..."

Baiyun Qingye didn't seem to notice the sarcastic tone in the other person's words.

After all, he doesn't come here often, so it's normal for him to be made a few sarcastic remarks, like, "Why are you still working so late?"

Heitu rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Of course the work isn't finished yet, otherwise why would I still be working?"

“I’m not like you, who can leave things to Minami-neechan and Shizune-neechan. Now you have Temari and Karin to help you, and you have nothing to do all day, just wandering around.”

"..."

Baiyun Qingye sensed that Heitu seemed to be implying something, and made a suggestion.

"Then why don't you just do what I do and delegate tasks to your subordinates?"

"Do you think Iwagakure has as many talented people as Konoha? Apart from my father, no one else can be of much help."

Hei Tu crossed his arms and put his legs up, looking annoyed.

"..."
