Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 43

The Jonin from Kirigakure looked at the Uzumaki Ninja in front of him with a mocking expression, who dared not utter a sound.

"What a loud tone."

"Konoha will not stand idly by."

"Furthermore, it's all just a conspiracy of yours!"

"So, do you have any evidence?"

Kaminosuke Uzumaki crossed his arms, a look of disdain on his face:

"Of course!"

"The signature of the Third Mizukage and the seal representing the Mizukage in your Kirigakure intelligence report are sufficient proof that this intelligence was used by you to frame our Uzushiogakure!"

The Kirigakure Jonin chuckled lightly, ignoring the old man's words, and the other Kirigakure ninja followed suit, rising to their feet.

"We're only giving you a month to consider."

"later."

"Be careful, former leader, Village Chief Terunosuke."

Tread-tap-

“Watch them leave.”

"Yes!"

After the ANBU disappeared from the conference room, Terunosuke had a bad feeling and immediately sent a Jonin from the Uzumaki clan to check the village's intelligence storage room.

A few minutes later, the Jonin Uzumaki ran back with a grim expression: "Lord Terunosuke, the cipher scroll... the scroll..."

"That's all?" Terunosuke said the answer he didn't want to hear.

The Jonin remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Yes!"

"It must have been those Kirigakure ninjas who took them away! Let's capture them!"

"They didn't make a move."

"So, what is that?"

Terunosuke recalled Ryota's report about the disappearance of a genin from a patrol team shortly after the incident: "Something's haunting the village."

"They're all raised as orphans, so why is it that only the Land of Whirlpools is like this? Why...?"

It's definitely not enough to build a ninja village with just the Uzumaki clan.

There must be an upper layer and a lower layer.

The upper echelons were mostly members of the Uzumaki clan, while the middle and lower echelons were mostly orphans, commoners, and even some ninjas from small clans.

The missing young man was a homeless orphan from the Land of Fire. He was very talented from a young age and was supposed to be promoted to Chunin this year.

Unexpectedly, he was an undercover agent.

Waves crashed against the Hidden Mist ninja's boat, and the Hidden Mist ninja waved mockingly at the Uzumaki ninja on the shore.

The secret service dared not make a move and could only silently lead their team back.

After all, starting a war without cause means starting a war, and clearly, the Uzumaki ninjas don't have the guts to do so at this critical time.

The main problem is that the ninja villages are not strong enough. If Konoha doesn't help them in a war, they are guaranteed to be wiped out.

Tidal vapors rolled out from time to time on the sea, and the wooden boat accelerated forward with the help of the Hidden Mist Ninja.

Suddenly, a Chunin from Kirigakure asked:

"Captain, aren't we afraid that Konoha ninjas will come to the Land of Whirlpools to test their skills against the ninjas of Uzushiogakure?"

Even if we retrieve false information.

"Konoha Village might still believe in the Uzumaki clan's ninjas."

"after all."

"Mito Uzumaki, that jinchūriki, is still alive."

At the bow of the ship, the Kirigakure Jonin, upon hearing this, gave a cold laugh:

"The gap already exists."

"As for trust?"

"That depends on whether the families of the other deceased Konoha ninja agree."

Besides, all of this is just a delaying tactic.

Kirigakure couldn't withstand Konoha's wrath either, so they needed to drag the ninjas from another country into the mess—after all, both the Uzumaki clan members and their sealing techniques were valuable.

In the blink of an eye, Shirahoshi had finished reading all of the illusions of the Yuhi Clan. They were basically a complete set of illusion attacks represented by flower petals and plants. Whether in terms of mental binding or mental attack, they were a relatively comprehensive illusion system.

"Thanks, here's the book back."

Xi Ri Liu Yun hurriedly took the notebook, stared blankly at Bai Xing who was about to leave after 'finding Wu Qing', then stood up and called out:

"Hey!"

"What? Is there anything else you want to give me?" Bai Xing turned around, saw Xi Ri Liu Yun's bewildered expression, and said with a smile:

"Just kidding, just say what's on your mind."

"..."

These words almost choked Xi Ri Liu Yun to finish saying what she wanted to say.

After taking a deep breath, the girl spoke to the boy with a serious expression, seemingly without words.

The wind blew through the grass and flowers in the courtyard, passing by the two of them.

Thank you for your kind gesture.

"But I'm sorry."

The silent words finally fell to earth, and the girl's wish was shattered completely.

Bai Xing wasn't sure what she was thinking about liking this kind of thing, but she was also somewhat confused about what she wanted: people don't just live to survive; they should have dreams and ideals to realize. Now that she had power, she had to think about what her own needs were.

Secondly, he cannot keep others hanging on:

"You should inherit the name of the Yuhi Clan in the future."

"And I am just a low-ranking ninja."

"Can I wait for you? Until you become a Chunin..."

Shirahoshi: "......"

"up to you."

After Bai Xing finished speaking, he disappeared in front of the girl, then reappeared on the wall of the Yuhi Clan's mansion. Bai Xing paused for a moment, then disappeared again in the reflection of the girl's red eyes.

Chapter 54 The Strongest Illusion: The Will of Fire

"Failed?"

"But that's normal."

"Love is a very complicated thing."

"Auntie Sahi! Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?!"

In the courtyard, the voice of Yuhi Saori came from behind, causing Yuhi Ryuun on the lawn to stomp his feet.

"Wow~"

"Don't cry, don't cry, Ryuun wasn't talking about you~" Yuhi Saki gently comforted the doll in her arms with a smile. Then, with her long hair reaching her waist, she looked up at the absent-minded Yuhi Ryuun and comforted him, "If Shirahoshi has someone he clearly likes, he will definitely tell him."

Upon hearing this, Yuhi Ryuun's eyes lit up immediately, and Yuhi Saori said with a smile:

"So, Liu Yun, you still have a chance, don't you?"

"Cough cough. What do you mean by 'opportunity' or 'no opportunity'? I don't understand any of that!"

"I'll go put the book back."

After saying that, Yuhi Ryuun blushed and ran towards the clan's storage room. Yuhi Saki smiled gently, looked down at Yuhi Kurenai, and reached out to tease the child. Yuhi Kurenai cried out "Wah wah!" and raised her delicate hands, trying to grab Saki's fingers.

"Hong~ What kind of boyfriend will you find in the future~"

Shirahoshi left and went to the Hokage Building to submit a leave report for the period of time, explaining why she was unable to perform missions in the village during this period.

Without a suitable excuse for taking leave, the village will raise various questions based on your background, work experience, and other factors.

One possibility is that he is an undercover agent.

Another issue is that ninjas whose identities are not problematic, but who completely neglect their duties during the village's busy periods, will basically have no chance of being promoted to Chunin, Jonin, or taking on important positions in the future.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shirahoshi."

"It must be very sad, this experience is just like when you were in Class 6."

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the report submitted by Shirahoshi, looked at Shirahoshi whose expression still held a hint of gloom, and continued helplessly:

"Fortunately, this time it seems a freak... cough cough, an unexpected ninja appeared and helped you, which allowed you to survive this ordeal."

Shirahoshi: "?"

"An unexpected ninja?" Shirahoshi asked nervously.

"Hmm." Hiruzen Sarutobi took out a report from a border Uchiha Jonin, detailing the investigation by the Hidden Mist ninja who ambushed Team Crimson and Orochimaru.

"The True Crimson Jonin said that at the time, after he had dealt with a white-haired Kirigakure ANBU member..."

"Then, a Hidden Mist team arrived to provide support, especially the person who attacked him last, who was at least a Jonin."

Dissatisfaction was reflected in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes:

"Based on your report, Shirahoshi, there are at least five or six Chunin from Kirigakure."

"There are at least six Hidden Mist Ninja."
