The sky had grown late, and whether intentionally or not, wisps of spring air seeped through the cracks in the window, reaching Uzuki Yuugao, who was squatting on the rooftop on watch.
"Lord Lin Yu is..."
Hearing such a seductive sound, Uzuki Yuugao's earlobes immediately turned red. She quickly covered her ears, her beautiful face flushing under the pale moonlight.
Let alone dating, she had never even held a boy's hand. Uzuki Yuugao was immediately met with such an ultimate test. Anyone would find it unbearable.
"For the mission... enduring it should be enough..."
As an Anbu, she had to strictly follow the Hokage's orders. However, such matters probably didn't need to be recorded. Uzuki Yuugao bit her lip, secretly spitting, she wouldn't write about this sort of thing anyway...
Endure it and it will pass, soon!
...
The next day at noon, Lin Yu woke up from a patch of fair and tender skin. He moved Tsunade's delicate hand away, gently lifted Konan's beautiful leg, and kissed Mikoto's tranquil forehead. He then put on his clothes and closed the door.
As for Kushina, she was already rolling her eyes, too proud of her Uzumaki clan's physique!
Lin Yu tidied up his cheerful mood and was about to slip away when he noticed the latter stiffly collapsed in the front yard, his crimson Rinnegan glazed over, and strange saliva seemed to be dripping from his mouth.
"Good heavens, you went out for a wild time last night too?"
Lin Yu nudged Shiro, but the latter lay motionless on the ground, as if his spirit was completely broken.
"The Ten-Tails is just this?"
Lin Yu shook his head. Shiro's appearance was as if he had been through a dozen rounds with those creatures, truly pathetic!
At that moment, a figure suddenly slid down from the roof. Lin Yu instinctively dodged, but then caught sight of her smooth purple hair and immediately reached out to embrace Yuugao's delicate body.
"Yuugao, why are you still... what the hell, a ghost!"
Lin Yu exclaimed and immediately threw the still-warm body he was holding away.
*Bang!*
"Speak, who are you, and why are you impersonating Yuugao, and in such a crude manner!"
Yuugao rubbed her head, sporting dark circles under her eyes that were even blacker than a panda's. She said in a hoarse voice, "I'm going to find the Hokage now to withdraw the mission... Is it still too late?"
Staying up all night, Yuugao wasn't afraid. As an Anbu, she could even go three days without sleep, intensely observing the target.
But!
The seductive sounds that had echoed in her ears all night had truly subjected her spirit to cruel torture.
How could a person be like Lord Lin Yu, doing it for so long... too... too shameless!
Yuugao's eyes were resentful. Her usually smooth purple hair had become messy, and her red lips had paled, losing their proper color.
"Yuugao, it really is you, how did you end up like this?"
Although he had an idea of what had happened, Lin Yu feigned ignorance, helped Yuugao up, and brushed the grass off her body.
Yuugao pursed her lips, her eyes filled with resentment and grievance. How could she have become like this if it weren't for you, you scoundrel!
"Lord Lin Yu, you are truly... formidable!"
Lin Yu chuckled, "In the ninja world, only those with strength have a voice."
Yuugao gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "I wasn't referring to that!"
"It's all the same, all the same."
After a while, Yuugao regained some of her composure, her brows furrowed slightly. "Lord Lin Yu, can you let go of me now?"
"I'm afraid you'll collapse."
Lin Yu rubbed his nose. He was simply supporting Yuugao. He was more virtuous than a saint now, unmoved even by thunder.
Just as the atmosphere between them became slightly awkward, a ninja pigeon slid down from the sky and landed on Lin Yu's shoulder.
"My letter?"
Lin Yu frowned. This method of communication was too outdated and easily intercepted by enemies. Therefore, important messages were usually delivered by Obito, known as the "transportation expert."
Lin Yu opened the letter tied to the pigeon's leg. It was likely not something important, hence the pigeon.
Yuugao pondered for a long time. This was only her first day on the job, and Lin Yu had already made her like this. If it happened a few more times, wouldn't she be doomed, and a wrongful death at that!
Yuugao's eyes flickered. Although she harbored a little admiration for Lin Yu in her heart, she valued her own life more!
"Lord Lin Yu, Yuugao wants to..."
Lin Yu put down the letter, his expression slightly odd. However, he still said to Yuugao, "Yuugao, want to go to a concert?"
Yuugao: "Huh?"
...
Hokage's Office.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze wished he had two heads. He rubbed his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Senior Lin Yu, did something happen again?"
"Hokage-sama, actually, it was Yuugao who requested Lord Lin Yu's presence."
Uzuki Yuugao hesitated slightly, then softly said, "Yuugao's abilities are insufficient to constantly monitor Lord Lin Yu's every move. Please, Hokage-sama, arrange for other personnel to replace Yuugao."
What's going on?
Minato Namikaze cast a strange glance at Yuugao. Seeing that she wasn't being coerced, he asked in surprise, "Yuugao, if you have any difficulties, you can state them. I believe Senior Lin Yu wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for you."
Yuugao's downcast eyes were full of grievance, but how could she mention such things?
"No substitutions. It'll be her!" Lin Yu pointed at Yuugao and gave Minato Namikaze an OK sign.
Minato Namikaze's eyelids twitched. He said sternly, "Anbu members do not have the right to choose their targets. Yuugao, you are a newcomer, but you should understand this principle more clearly!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and an Anbu ninja with a weak gait entered.
"Hokage-sama, here are the documents you requested."
"Hayate, thank you for your hard work."
The person who entered was the sickly young man, Hayate Gekko, who was also a suitor of Uzuki Yuugao within the Anbu, or rather, a man who had a good impression of Yuugao.
Lin Yu stroked his chin. Yuugao's charm was immense to young men. A fellow cultivator with outstanding swordsmanship talent and a cold, elegant demeanor was definitely an unforgettable companion in life.
However, for Hayate's sake, Lin Yu had to cruelly help him find another suitable partner!
Life is precious, a "beauty" can be found again.
Minato Namikaze took the documents and looked at Hayate Gekko with admiration. He said to Lin Yu, "This is an excellent ninja in the Anbu, Hayate Gekko. With his particle style jutsu, he has completed numerous secret missions."
Since even the Hokage had revealed his abilities, it meant that this red-haired youth in front of them was one hundred percent trustworthy.
Hayate Gekko bowed and said with a blank expression, "I've heard of Lord Lin Yu from my father. He is a diligent and steady ninja."
Diligent? Steady?!
Minato Namikaze really wanted to crack open Hayate Gekko's skull and see what kind of soup he had been fed. How could such heinous words be spoken?
"Hayate, I think you've been in the Anbu for too long, it's time for you to get some fresh air."
Hayate Gekko: ???
Just because he praised someone, he was kicked out of the Anbu by the Hokage?
