Konoha: Who's the good guy?

After Killer Bee's condition stabilized, he and Tsuchida were sent to the Cloud Village hospital.

The Cloud Hidden's high-ranking officials, also under the protection of the Dark Guard, headed towards the Cloud Hidden's office building's conference room.

The Third Raikage, A, looked at the dozen or so barefoot ninjas standing at the edge of the ruins and cast a questioning glance at the Anbu beside him.

"Boss, we just did a preliminary screening of the village's ninjas as instructed by Lord Tsuchida..."

The ANBU ninja quickly explained the whole story.

The Third Raikage, Ai, nodded slightly and strode to the front of the group.

He understood Tu Tai's desire to catch the assassin as soon as possible, but doubting his own people in public was not his style.

Seeing the dozen or so somewhat uneasy Cloud Village ninjas, he spoke in a deep voice.

"You are my most trusted subordinates. I don't believe that ninjas who rushed to support their comrades without even putting on their shoes when they heard the alarm would be traitors to the village!"

"Waaaaah~ Boss! Boss, you believe in us, that's so great..."

The more than ten barefoot ninjas' initial anxiety and grievances vanished after hearing the Third Raikage's words.

Some of the more sentimental ones even burst into tears on the spot.

Even when everyone else doubted them, their leader always believed in them.

This trust shattered all their pride, making them even more determined to follow their leader.

"A man's tears shouldn't be shed so easily. Everyone, disperse and go home to rest."

The Third Raikage, A, turned around, waved his hand, and strode towards the Raikage Building.

His strong and resolute back looked incredibly majestic at that moment.

Yamanaka Kei turned around and saw Musay's face was red. He patted him on the shoulder silently and put his arm around him as they walked home.

This young man's blushing wasn't due to being excitedly pumped up by the third-generation lightning bolt.

The reason he wasn't wearing shoes was because he was sleeping so soundly that he didn't hear the village air raid siren at all—he was so ashamed!

Rescue your companions?

nonexistent!

The many ninjas who were left behind were filled with emotion and dispersed to go home.

Another ANBU squad leader quickly landed next to the Third Rai in a few blinks.

"Lord Raikage, we have already quietly searched everyone's homes and found no suspicious traces."

"The village will be sealed off starting tonight. All ninjas and villagers are allowed to enter but not leave. Self-inspection will begin tomorrow."

The voice of the third-generation Rai is deep and resonant.

He did trust his subordinates, but as Tu Tai said, spies are everywhere, and it's always better to be cautious.

Moreover, a total of nine people were assassinated simultaneously tonight.

If you include Killer Bee, who had the problem, that makes ten people!

He didn't believe that those guys who infiltrated the village could all escape from Kumogakure in such a short time.

Spies and inside agents must exist.

The only thing that is uncertain is whether this spy and inside man are ordinary people or ninjas.

Launching a war against Kirigakure is now inevitable.

Before the war begins, if we fail to root out the corrupt elements, who knows how much damage it will cause to the Hidden Cloud Village!

----------

"The Raikage, outwardly rough but inwardly shrewd, always tries to win people over when things are almost settled. Tsk~"

The moment Yamanaka Kage pushed open the door and entered the house, he immediately realized that someone had been there, and the positions of various objects had changed very subtly.

Ordinary ninjas might not notice the traces of this "reconstruction search".

However, he already possessed exceptional observational skills, and the title of "King of the Ninja World" further endowed him with unparalleled memory.

The difference of that tiny fraction was all too obvious to him.

Pretending not to notice anything, he closed the door and kicked Musai back into the bedroom to sleep.

Standing by the window under the cover of night, Shan Zhongjing finally had time to pay attention to the system reward she had just received.

You have two chances to draw an entry and one chance to receive an entry as a gift.

Is there one more chance to upgrade a random white affix?

That looks like a lot.

However, in terms of value, it's really not as good as the reward for completing an S-level mission for the first time.

"So, I've passed the newbie phase and lost all the newbie perks?"

Yamanaka Kei scratched his head and said this, but in reality, he wasn't very moved.

The death of Madara Uchiha, the mastermind behind the scenes, instantly relieved most of the sense of urgency he felt.

There is still a long time ahead, and he has plenty of time to develop gradually.

"System, extract terms."

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the white keyword "Prostitute's Comeback" and the purple keyword "Magical Girl Transformation".]

Prostitute's Comeback (White): Your rich experience in hand-to-hand combat has given you more agile skills and a more seductive posture. Your body is more flexible and agile, your charm to men is enhanced, and your favorability to women is reduced.

Magical Girl Transformation (Purple): Shout "Magical Girl Transformation!" to absorb special magical energy and integrate it into yourself, perfectly condensing it into a special energy outfit, awakening your personal unique ability, obtaining exclusive magical equipment or weapons, and greatly increasing your strength, speed, defense, stamina, casting speed, and willpower.

"??? Holy crap!"

When Shan Zhongjing heard the entry, he was quite excited, thinking that his luck had turned around and he had gotten a huge hit.

What happened? Magical Girl Soju?

System, what the hell are you doing to me?

The white entry at the front initially looked like a hawk turning over, but it turned out to be a prostitute!

Later on, they stopped pretending altogether. Magical girl?!

I'm a man!

Yamanaka Kei's face was as black as ink. Although magical girls and such looked cute, from what he knew, their potential was ridiculously high.

But if he, a grown man, were to actually activate this term, who knows what terrible things might happen?

The system's integrity has never been very high!

"...What a rip-off!"

Shan Zhongjing cursed and swore at the system for a long time.

He wondered if he should just give this entry to Kushina later.

She's my wife, so giving her a purple tag isn't a bad deal.

Imagine Kushina shouting "Magical Girl Transformation!" and then transforming into a beautiful outfit...

I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it!

"Tsk~ System, you used that random white attribute upgrade opportunity on me too."

While imagining what Kushina would look like in her transformed state, Yamanaka Kei casually gave an order to the system.

In his view, white entries were basically like chicken ribs—tasteless but not worth throwing away.

Moreover, he can't control randomness.

No matter which upgrade it is, at best it will just be a green attribute; how amazing can it be?

[Congratulations, host! The white attribute "Expired Milk" has successfully upgraded to the green attribute "Drug-Added Milk".]

Added Medicine Milk (Green): When using medical ninjutsu, the nature of the ninjutsu undergoes subtle changes that are difficult to detect. The proficiency of medical ninjutsu, chakra control, treatment speed, and treatment effect are improved, and the treated person has a slight positive reaction.

"good?"

Shan Zhongjing raised an eyebrow and casually activated the green attribute [Medicated Milk].

Although he possesses the body of a sage, his recovery speed after injury is ridiculously fast, and he generally does not need to use medical ninjutsu.

But having something is better than not having it.

Who can guarantee that the people around you will never get hurt?

It's better to be prepared than not.

Furthermore, the development of a ninjutsu similar to "Self-Reincarnation" for Kushina is still pending, and Tsunade is somewhat unreliable.

If he improves his medical ninjutsu, he can become self-reliant, right?
