"Hey, I'm telling you, Yugao, that's enough. You're following me even to the bathroom!"
"Lord Hokage said that wherever Lord Lin Yu goes, Yugao will follow."
Yugao Uzuki was dressed in an Anbu outfit, a katana slung across her back, her expression hidden behind a mask.
Lin Yu scratched his head, feeling a bit annoyed. Although he had learned from Yugao that she didn't have a boyfriend at this time, it seemed there was a young man in the Anbu pursuing her.
Gekko Hayate!
That sickly weakling!
If only he had taken care of his father, Gekko Denden, back then!
Lin Yu stroked his chin. If things developed according to the normal storyline, these two would definitely become a couple.
Lin Yu felt he shouldn't get involved with more beautiful women; he already had enough at home.
But!
Gekko Denden was a senior from his childhood, who had helped him and Mikoto many times during missions. How could he stand by and watch Gekko Denden mourn his son?
If Gekko Hayate and Yugao Uzuki didn't end up together, Gekko Hayate might not die.
Compared to love, life was certainly more precious!
Lin Yu felt it was necessary for him to step forward and help Gekko Hayate change his future and welcome his new partner!
Who should he find... Genma Shiranui? Ebisu? Or someone else?
Forget it, Hayate was an unfortunate child. He would let him choose himself later!
Don't worry, Hayate, I will take good care of Yugao for you!
Lin Yu immediately convinced himself, not bothering to think about how if the Konoha Crush Plan didn't happen, the Sand Village wouldn't attack Konoha, and how Gekko Hayate would die.
However, for Hayate's future, he would rather let Orochimaru launch a Konoha Crush Plan to get Yugao... to save Gekko Hayate's life!
"Lord Lin Yu, Lord Lin Yu..."
"Huh?"
"Is there something on my face..."
Lin Yu immediately coughed twice, his face not blushing, and said breathlessly, "It's human nature to admire beautiful things."
Yugao Uzuki couldn't help but touch the mask on her face, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes. "Is this Anbu mask very beautiful?"
"Cough, cough, cough!!!"
Lin Yu really choked on his own words this time. It was all Gekko Hayate's fault. If he wasn't worried about his life, would he have made such a fool of himself in front of Yugao!
"Never mind that, Yugao, what's your Anbu codename?"
Yugao Uzuki followed Lin Yu, saying indifferently, "I don't have a codename. Not everyone in the Anbu can get one."
"So weak?"
Someone's chest rose and fell slightly. She lowered her head and stopped talking, but the teeth under the mask bit her lower lip fiercely. At the age of twenty, she had joined the Anbu, and she was considered outstanding, if not top-tier.
She had the strength of a Special Jonin, yet she was called weak. Yugao's slightly proud heart was immediately dealt a blow.
"Of course, I'm not just talking about you; everyone in the Anbu is a weakling!"
Blow +100.
Yugao lowered her head. As a member of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, she knew some of Lin Yu's strength. After all, Hokage Minato Namikaze had warned them that they could provoke anyone in Konoha, but never that red-haired unemployed youth.
If the Hokage himself had named him as someone not to be provoked, his strength was at least Kage-level. If she was called weak, there seemed to be no reason to refute it.
However, for some reason, Yugao felt angry. If she were compared to others her age, she would definitely be...
"Yugao, do you know Kakashi? That kid is the worst student I've ever taught. I heard he was dismissed from the Anbu and became a teacher."
Yugao exclaimed, "Senior Kakashi, who became a Jonin at twelve? His name is widely known within the Anbu."
"Is that the point? The point is that he's the worst student I've ever taught!"
The corners of Yugao's mouth under the mask twitched. She didn't believe it; this was a typical display of showing off!
"And that Uchiha Itachi is also my student. That kid has good talent, but he's too quiet. He's the second worst student I've ever taught!"
"..."
Yugao fell silent. Uchiha Itachi seemed to be three years younger than her, yet his strength was already Kage-level, far beyond what she could compare to.
"And that guy Tsuchi..."
"Lord Lin Yu, Yugao still feels it's better to be in the shadows."
Without giving Lin Yu a chance to continue, Yugao immediately vanished from her spot. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her last shred of pride would be completely destroyed by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu glanced at Yugao hiding in a nearby tree and muttered, "I'm just telling the truth, and you don't even praise me. People in the Anbu are so rude!"
The plot is not right. Yugao shouldn't have looked at him with admiration, then asked about his teaching methods, and then pretended to hesitate and say it was a secret passed down within the clan, before finally accepting her as a disciple?
As for how to teach? Lin Yu would say: They were all self-taught!
...
Evening.
"Another day of being a salted fish is over. Bai, you have to work hard tomorrow too!"
"Woof... Woo!"
Bai squinted and opened its mouth, indicating it was hungry.
Although Lin Yu could understand Bai's meaning, he still patted its head and said, "As a life created by Yin-Yang Release, Kurama and the others can communicate with people, but you can't, Bai. It seems you're just a stupid dog."
"Woo!"
Bai immediately became agitated. Did he think Bai the Great couldn't talk? It was just too lazy to communicate with humans telepathically. Humans should be its servants!
However... a good beast knows when to yield. When Bai's strength... When Bai outlives the human in front of it, it will be time to restore the Ten-Tails' majesty!
Lin Yu played with Bai for a while longer, then turned and walked towards the inner room. As soon as he opened the door, a strange smell wafted into his nostrils.
"What is this smell! Could it be..."
Lin Yu stiffly turned his head, about to sneak away quietly, when he heard Mikoto's gentle and watery voice.
"Lin Yu, you're back. Come and eat, everyone is here."
Facing Mikoto, Lin Yu was helpless. Mikoto's beauty was not in her appearance, but in her every move, every expression, every glance. She was so gentle, like a confidante, able to soothe all your inner fatigue and sorrow.
Lin Yu sighed helplessly, took Mikoto's soft and boneless little hand, and whispered, "Mikoto, in the kitchen is..."
Mikoto chuckled and nodded, "Kushina insisted on doing it herself and kicked me out."
"Hiss!!!"
Lin Yu gasped, as if hearing his own Sage stomach strongly protesting. This wave of "enemies" couldn't be withstood; they would be defeated!
"Actually, on my way back, I already..."
"Dinner is ready! Lin Yu, you're back, come and try this special curry and chili stew I made for you!"
Kushina came out carrying a pot of bubbling liquid. Her originally fair and tender face was completely blackened.
Seeing Lin Yu frozen in place, unwilling to move, Kushina revealed her cute little fangs and said "gently," "If you don't finish it, you'll sleep alone tonight!"
Lin Yu looked at Konan and Tsunade at the dining table. Both of them tacitly looked at the ceiling, seemingly unwilling to speak to Lin Yu.
Gulp...
Lin Yu swallowed hard. For the happiness tonight!
Bai, I'm sorry, you'll have to bear with it!
Who told you you were hungry just now!
