I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 128 Yagyu's Initial Goal, the Puppet Curse

"You are... Hinata Hyuga!"

Samui never expected that besides the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, there would be someone whose abilities were no less than hers, and who was also so young.

When she carefully examined Hinata, who wasn't wearing a green vest for this mission, and stared at her bulging temples and the white eyes with their distinctive diamond-shaped markings instead of the Caged Bird Seal on her forehead, her expression suddenly changed.

What surprised her was not recognizing Hinata as the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main branch, nor that Hinata was a Konoha Jonin of the same rank as herself.

Instead... Hinata is a member of Team 8!

Team 8 of the 60th Shinobi Class in Konoha has become famous in the ninja world in recent years. Its reputation among the five great ninja villages is even greater than that of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and it is comparable to the legendary Sannin of Konoha in the Second Shinobi World War.

Like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the legendary Sannin of Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War, Team 8 consisted entirely of Jonin, and all of them were sixteen-year-old boys and girls, in the prime of their lives.

Over the years, Class 8 has completed countless missions with a 100% success rate and has never failed.

Moreover, just like the White Fang of Konoha in the Second Shinobi World War and the Yellow Flash in the Third Shinobi World War, all five great ninja villages issued orders.

If you encounter Team 8 during a mission, you can abandon the mission and escape without incurring any punishment from the ninja village.

There's no other reason than that the captain of Team 8 is Yagyu, the second person in Konoha to awaken the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai after the First Hokage.

Hinata Hyuga being here means that Yagyu is also here.

Thinking of this, Samui immediately ended her struggle with Hinata. With her tall and voluptuous figure and curvaceous body, she leaped backward, her impressive assets jiggling violently upon landing.

Despite her alluring figure, Samui is an icy beauty. Her beautiful blue-green eyes quickly scanned her surroundings and soon spotted a couple standing atop a wall.

The woman was about the same age as her and had a similarly tall and voluptuous figure, but her assets were far inferior to hers.

The man, though young, was incredibly tall, dressed in a long black robe, arms crossed, looking down at her from above.

Whether it was due to the reputation the other party had built up over the years or some other reason, Samui felt his body trembling slightly just from making eye contact with Yagyu.

Her gut told her that if she didn't run, she would die!

But the surrounding world suddenly changed, becoming like a painting, which told Samui that she couldn't escape!

She's been under an illusion!

It was no different from reality; it was an illusion that even interfering with the chakra within the body couldn't break. Samui had never seen or heard of it before.

They are not even in the same league as Class 8!

clang!

Without the slightest hesitation, Samui threw the dagger to the ground and raised his hands, saying, "We surrender!"

This scene startled Hinata, who was preparing to launch an attack, and she looked somewhat surprised.

Meanwhile, Shino Aburame had already subdued Omoi, who was only a Chunin.

Just like Hinata knocked out Karui with one punch, the impulsive Omoi was full of flaws in the eyes of the rational Shino Aburame.

"She seems to be from Kumogakure... Samui."

Kurenai looked at Samui, who had raised her hands in surrender but whose expression remained calm and indifferent, and quickly recognized this distinctive and unique female ninja.

Yagyu watched with admiration as Samui, realizing he was no match for Samui, decisively chose to concede defeat.

After traversing sixteen years, I have finally met my original goal!

Before the game system awakens, Yagyu, who chooses to give up, only wants to gain favor with the nine main characters in the Ninja Academy, then use his knowledge of the plot to survive until Boruto, and use his network of connections to plan for a good position, and finally marry a beautiful, busty supporting character.

And his initial target was... Samui.

Even if he wins Hinata's favor as a commoner, he still can't marry a rich heiress.

Tsunade is even less likely to be involved.

Aside from these two high-difficulty, beautiful, and large-breasted characters, the easiest target that Yagyu could think of was Samui, who didn't appear many times but left a very deep impression on him.

However, after the game system awakened, Yagyu had already overturned his original life plan.

Now that he has met his original goal, Yagyu can't help but sigh.

Without the game system, he might not even be worthy of Samui, who is skilled in ninjutsu.

In a world like this, being born into a commoner's family is truly a source of despair!

While feeling moved, Yagyu quickly formed a hand seal with one hand.

Green vines grew from the ground, binding Samui's feet and rapidly draining most of her chakra.

Samui remained expressionless despite feeling his chakra rapidly draining away, but his heart was in turmoil.

Is this Wood Release?

If you get entangled, your chakra will be absorbed. Isn't that too unfair?

At the same time, Samui calmly said, "You were commissioned to assassinate Mr. Takeshita, weren't you? He's not here. This is just a shadow clone, Omoi."

"Shadow Clone Technique - Release!"

Upon hearing Samui's words, the subdued Omoi gave a light shout with a grim expression.

In an instant, the mission target inside the mansion turned into a cloud of white mist and vanished.

"I didn't expect that your Kumogakure would be as adept at using the ninjutsu of other ninja villages as Kusagakure."

Yagyu instantly appeared in front of Samui, his 1.88-meter height looking down at the 1.69-meter-tall Samui, and chuckled, "You want to live?"

"Yes."

"Why? Aren't you afraid of being punished when you go back?"

"If the enemy were you, we wouldn't be punished," Samui said calmly and cruelly. "This is just one of the neighboring countries of the Land of Lightning, and it's not even recorded in detail on the ninja world map. Our mission this time is only an A-rank escort mission, but it has now exceeded the scope of an A-rank mission. The client is not worth sacrificing our lives for."

"Konoha and Kumogakure are not allies; that's not enough."

Yagyu shook his head and said, "If it weren't us who came today, but an ordinary team from Konoha, you definitely wouldn't have let him go either."

"We can hand over the client and kill him for you, and then secretly help your client win this war," Samui said, uttering words that violated the code of ninja ethics.

Kurenai and Hinata couldn't help but re-examine Samui; this woman was not only cold-faced, but also incredibly cold-hearted.

Even if they could kill the enemy without batting an eye, and annihilate the enemy to complete their mission, they wouldn't do something like this.

After all, they received brainwashing-style education from a young age, learning that ninjas must obey orders from their superiors, and that ninjas are tools whose primary purpose is to complete missions, etc.

Therefore, despite possessing overwhelming strength, except for a few exceptional ninjas, they will not kill their mission targets or wealthy ordinary people to plunder their treasures.

Even rogue ninja rarely do this.

The most typical example is Zabuza Momochi. He could have killed Gato and obtained Gato's immense wealth, but he chose not to do so and instead chose to work for him and make money.

Samui's words are simply outrageous.

But Yagyu admired her even more and nodded, saying, "Alright, I promise you!"

As he said this, Yagyu raised his hand and tapped Samui's forehead.

In an instant, a black curse mark flashing with red light appeared on Samui's forehead, and then slowly disappeared.

Immediately, Yagyu formed a hand seal and gently placed his palm on Samui's forehead again.

This time, Hinata and Kurenai, who have a good relationship with Karin and have been practicing some sealing techniques in recent years, recognized the cursed seal as the Uzumaki clan's memory sealing technique.

However, they couldn't recognize what the first sealing technique was.

Not to mention them, even Karin wouldn't recognize them.

Because this sealing technique was secretly planted on Kakashi Hatake by Hiruko during the Third Shinobi World War... the Puppet Curse!

As long as Yagyu activates the Puppet Spell, Samui will become his puppet.

This curse is currently unbreakable, and even Konoha, which possesses the complete heritage of the Uzumaki clan, is powerless to break it.
