Chapter 364 Do you drink milk? (Please subscribe)
"So... you're treating me like a psychologically twisted, perverted ninja."

"You thought I was going to torture you to death, so you cried your eyes out?" Mu Sheng looked at Uzumaki Kaoruko in disbelief.

His face was filled with astonishment at being mistaken for a psychopathic killer.

He was a sunny young man who often helped old ladies cross the street, loved to pet kittens, and couldn't bear to step on even an ant.
He was wrongly accused of being a pervert who abused women and children!
Is there any heavenly principle? Are there any laws?
"Haahaha." Kaoruko Uzumaki gave a guilty, dry laugh, not daring to look Maki in the eye.

No matter the reason, it's never good to mistake someone's kindness for a pervert, especially when that kind person is a powerful individual who single-handedly wiped out a village.

"Hahahaha." Karin laughed at Maki, just like her mother.

She's at the age where she's very good at mimicking what her mother says; if her mother cries, she cries too, and if her mother laughs, she laughs too.

Whether it's an awkward laugh or a happy laugh, it doesn't matter, just laugh!

A tiny person with orange-red hair blinks their big eyes and keeps grinning at you.

Such an innocent and adorable little expression instantly brought a smile to Mu Sheng's face.

"Little one, you're really lucky to have met me!" Mu Sheng picked up Xiao Xianglin and teased her by pinching her little nose.

If it weren't for Maki's appearance, Karin's mother would have been bitten to death by the Grass Ninja within a few years due to her bloodline limit being healed by her physical abilities.

As a result, young Karin will take over her mother's job and become a beast of burden, her life exploited.

Mu Sheng was very familiar with the work of raising cattle and horses; it was not a job that a respectable family should do.

"May you have great luck, Karin!" Little Karin chuckled and mimicked the words.

Looking at the bright smile on her daughter's face, Kaoruko Uzumaki let down her guard.

Someone who loves children so much can't be a bad person.

While Mu Sheng and Karin were playing, his shadow clones were also marking themselves with the Flying Thunder God seal at the place in Kusagakure where various supplies, intelligence, and ninjutsu were stored.

"Time to open the treasure chest!"

Maki Shō stuffed Karin into Kimimaro's arms, and then vanished in a flash.

Kimimaro held Karin blankly, and the two stared at each other for a while.

Karin suddenly giggled, and Kimimaro's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

This is probably what they call a bond!
"Dare to steal my money? Gale-Slaying Strike!"

In the finance office of Kusagakure, facing a Kusagakure ninja who came to steal his money, Maki Shō unhesitatingly used the ultimate move of the Kambari-ryū sword technique.

This is a privilege that even the leader of Kusagakure doesn't enjoy.

Those grass ninjas who died from this move are truly blessed!
The Grass Village ninjas, reduced to ashes: ? ? ?
"Only a little over one hundred million taels?"

"Did those damned Kusagakure embezzle my money?"

Mu Sheng briefly counted the confiscated banknotes and found that it was far less than he had expected.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Mu Sheng quickly collected all the money and headed to the next location.

These thugs have no integrity whatsoever; if you arrive too late, they'll probably have all the good stuff taken.

Grass-covered logistics area.

"It's you thieves again! Die!"

"Kasaya Slash! Upward Slash! Downward Slash! Groin Kick!"

"what"

"Ah, I'm dead!"

Mu Sheng quickly killed the group of ninja thieves and sent them to the Pure Land to report to their leader.

Unlike the meager supplies in the finance office, this place had quite a lot of supplies.

Various ninja tools, ration pills, explosive tags, ninja armor, etc.

There were also many metal ingots for forging weapons, and Mu Sheng even found two fist-sized pieces of chakra metal.

Put away the ninja tools.

Put away the ration pills and explosive tags.

The ninja outfit was useless and was thrown away.

The metal ingots weighed over ten tons, and also contained rare metals, including two chakra metals.

Take it all! Take it all!
Soon, a corner of Mu Sheng's refining space was filled with it.

Then, Maki searched the ninjutsu room, intelligence room, and other places in Kusagakure.

After packing all the useful items into the refining space, he left satisfied.

As dusk fell, a sandstorm from the Land of Earth blew into the sky above the Land of Grass.

Under the yellowish-brown sky, dozens of plumes of black smoke, produced by incomplete combustion, rose from the Hidden Grass Village below.

Grass Hidden Village, outside the village gate.

Kaoruko Uzumaki held her daughter and looked back at the Hidden Grass Village before her.

The ruins were desolate, and the scene was one of devastation.

This reminded Kaoruko Uzumaki of many years ago.

The scene depicts her as a little girl who knew nothing, hiding in her father's arms as she escaped from the Land of Whirlpools.

At that time, she also looked at the desolate and ruined Land of Whirlpools in the same way.

Ironically, despite suffering endless hardships in Kusagakure, Kaoruko Uzumaki still felt an indescribable sadness.

It's unclear whether they're grieving for Kusagakure or for losing their stable lives once again.

"Hey!!!"

"Get on the bus and let's go!"

The shouts from not far away startled Kaoruko Uzumaki from her reverie.

"coming!"

Kaoruko Uzumaki, carrying her daughter, ran towards the carriage not far away.

In any case, following this big and small duo is better than staying in Kusagakure, right?
"Xu~"

With a shout, the carriage slowly started moving and headed towards the direction of the rising sun.

"Lord Sheng, where do we go next?"

"Before we came here, didn't we pass through a valley full of flowers? Let's go there!"

"Should we settle down there?" Kimimaro remembered that Maki had said he wanted to find a place to settle him down.

He came to Kusagakure this time to find a caregiver to take care of his daily life.

As for destroying Kusagakure, it was just a side effect, since we were already here!
"Okay, stay there for now." Mu Sheng rubbed Kimimaro's head. "Kimimaro, your task is to cultivate diligently."

Then he looked at Kaoruko Uzumaki: "Kaoruko, you take good care of the child for me!"

"Huh?" Upon suddenly hearing her own name, Kaoruko Uzumaki didn't react for a moment: "Baby? Should I breastfeed?"

"Breastfeeding? You still have breast milk?" Mu Sheng looked at Kaoru Uzumaki in surprise.

Kaoruko Uzumaki blushed slightly and said, "Karin isn't weaned yet, but she's drinking less now, so it's enough to feed another child."

"Eh~" Mu Sheng teased, gently stroking Karin's cheek with his finger: "You're so big and still drinking milk, how embarrassing!"

"Eeya!" Little Karin shyly nestled into her mother's arms.

Mu Sheng then looked at Kimimaro: "Kimimaro, do you want some milk?"

"do not want!"

The boy's pale face was filled with resistance; he couldn't possibly do such a shameful thing.

Upon seeing this, Mu Sheng burst into laughter.

Kaoruko Uzumaki then realized she had made a blunder and covered her mouth to laugh.

Seeing her mother and handsome older brother smiling, Karin smiled foolishly too.

And so, a carriage filled with laughter drove into the unknown starry sky. Konoha, Police Department Building.

A series of crackling sounds came from an office on the third floor.

"Finish!"

Looking at the jar on the table filled with sunflower seeds again, Mu Sheng felt a surge of accomplishment.

"I'm really amazing!"

After admiring his work for a while, Mu Sheng clapped his hands and stood up.

Work done, time to go home.

At the office door, Uchiha Touhuan saw Maki Sheng come out and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Lord Kambara, you're leaving get off work so late today? You must be exhausted!"

"Yes, it was very hard work!" Mu Sheng nodded seriously, thinking about the three bottles of melon seeds he had painstakingly eaten.

"But it's all for the village. As long as Konoha's security improves and order becomes more stable and harmonious, it's only right that we work a little harder!"

"Lord Kambara, are you really?"

Uchiha Touhuan was immediately filled with admiration for Maki, who could make slacking off sound so respectable.

Otherwise, why would he be the team leader?

Then came another round of free flattery, which made Mu Sheng feel extremely comfortable.

"Not bad, Douhuan, your work ability has improved!" Mu Sheng was very pleased; Uchiha Douhuan's flattery skills were getting better and better.

"Thanks to Lord Kambara's guidance, otherwise Doo-hwan wouldn't be where he is today."

Uchiha Touhuan was very modest, saying that it was all thanks to Maki Katsu.

"You, you, what can I say to you?" Mu Sheng shook his head helplessly: "Never mind, come to my office tomorrow morning, I'll give you some guidance on your recent work."

Uchiha Touhuan's eyes lit up, knowing that this meant he was being helped to improve his strength: "Thank you for your promotion, Lord Kanbara!"

"Hehehe"

"Kanahara-sama, watch your step!"

"Lord Kanbaru, walk slowly!"

After being repeatedly seen off by Uchiha Touhuan, Maki Sho leisurely left the police department.

Because he came out quite late, by the time Mu Sheng strolled and ate his way to the street where the Shinbara family lived, the streetlights on both sides were already on.

When he reached the area directly under a street lamp, Mu Sheng suddenly stopped.

He turned and looked towards a shadowy spot.

"Lord Danzo, are you so ashamed to be seen in the light? Why do you always stay in the shadows?"

As soon as Mu Sheng finished speaking, several figures emerged from the shadows.

It was Shimura Danzo and his Root ninjas.

Shimura Danzo looked at Maki Shō with a gloomy expression.

The thing he regretted most in his life was that years ago, because of a momentary slowness in his reaction, he was unable to become Hokage and stand in the sunlight.

The wicked brat was clearly trying to provoke him by saying that.

"Kamihara Masaru, in the name of the Root leader, I order you to return to Root to assist in the investigation!"

After receiving the information from Orochimaru, Danzo became even more certain that the four Root Jonin had died at the hands of Maki.

Hiruzen was so old and blind that he actually thought it was that old guy Uchiha Setsuna who did it.

Indeed, this village can't do without him.

"Assisting with an investigation? Investigating what? It's not going to be the same thing as before, is it?"

"Since the Hokage has already acknowledged it, this has nothing to do with me." Mu Sheng looked at Shimura Danzo with sarcasm: "Lord Danzo, don't forget, Hiruzen-sama is the Hokage!"

Damn it! That bastard brat!

Danzo Shimura was instantly enraged. Who did this evil brat think he was? Only Hiruzen could say such a thing.

"Stop pretending! Katsumi Kanbara!"

"Do you think you can hide it from Root, or from me?" Danzo Shimura roared. "Tell me, how did you end up in Kirigakure seven days ago?"

"Did you secretly learn the forbidden techniques from the Book of Sealing?"

"Who exactly are you? And what is your purpose in infiltrating Konoha Village?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Mu Sheng raised his index finger and shook it: "Lord Danzo, Lord Danzo, why can't you get rid of your habit of randomly labeling people?"

"No wonder the Second Hokage didn't recommend you for Hokage; he just used his own personal feelings to label a hero who shed blood for the village."

"If Konoha Village were in your hands, it would probably have been wiped out long ago!"

"How dare you!" Shimura Danzo's face contorted with rage. This wicked brat kept hitting his sore spots with every word; he was utterly detestable.

"Do it!"

Danzo Shimura took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.

The few members of the Root Sect he brought with him immediately rushed forward and launched an attack on Mu Sheng.

If they continued talking, Shimura Danzo feared he'd explode with anger. He decided to just arrest Makikatsu and throw him in the Root's dungeon for interrogation.

Then there won't be any trouble at all.

Dangerous ninjas like Katsumi Kanbara must be kept firmly under his control.

Danzo Shimura would never allow anyone to pose a threat to his Konoha Village.

"If you can't win an argument, you resort to violence. You little piece of trash, can't you handle this?"

Mu Sheng curled his lip in disdain, then formed a hand seal with one hand and used a newly learned ninjutsu.

[Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!]

The thick fog, so dense that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, instantly spread to the surrounding streets.

It hadn't spread very far when it was stopped by a transparent barrier.

Danzo Shimura came prepared in order to successfully capture Makikatsu.

"No, A-Zang, are you serious?!"

Seeing Danzo's determination, Maki Shō made the decisive decision to retreat.

After leaving a hidden Flying Thunder God mark on the ground, it exploded into a cloud of smoke with a 'bang' and merged into the fog.

It turns out that this was just a shadow clone of Mu Sheng.

Valley of Dawn, that's the name Kaoruko Uzumaki gave to this valley.

The mist formed by water vapor in the valley, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, refracted into rays of light under the sun.

After arriving at the valley during the day, Mu Sheng used earth magic to build several houses.

Meanwhile, Kaoruko Uzumaki, along with Karin and Kimimaro, gathered flowers and cut down trees to decorate their future home.

After a busy day, the group celebrated with a big meal at their new home.

After dinner, Kaoruko Uzumaki took Karin back to her room to breastfeed her.

"Kimimaro, are you sure you don't want to go in and have a few drinks?" Maki asked, gesturing towards the direction Kaoruko had left.

"No!" Kimimaro shook his head.

Seeing Kimimaro's feigned composure, Mu Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just as he was about to continue teasing Kimimaro for a while, a memory from his shadow clone suddenly surfaced.

"Who gave that old bastard Danzo the courage?"

Mu Sheng immediately left behind a shadow clone, which disappeared in a flash.
