XX-level Hokage

Seeing this, Mashiro was quite satisfied, then turned to Ira and said, "Thank you, Miss Ira. My friend will show me around from now on." Ira naturally had no objections. She knew Yugito, the highly respected Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and since the two were friends, she could only...

Ira nodded slightly, then bowed slightly to Yugito before turning and leaving. Mashiro walked to Yugito's side, and the two began their journey side by side.

"This is Raisen Cliff, one of the most unique sights in Kumogakure. It was here that the Third Raikage gradually developed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and also here that he suppressed the Eight-Tails Gyūki," Yugito explained, pointing to the broken cliff ahead.

Looking around, Mashiro saw many broken, huge rocks scattered everywhere, and many irregular deep pits connected together to form a uniquely shaped lake.

"In terms of human strength, to cause this level of destruction, the Third Raikage is almost at the pinnacle of ninja ability," Mashiro murmured.

"The pinnacle of ninjas? In your opinion, what kind of ninja can be considered the pinnacle of ninjas?" Yugito asked with some doubt. In her opinion, the Third Raikage was already the most powerful ninja imaginable.

"In my opinion, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, are the only two people in the entire ninja world who can be considered to stand at the top. The Second Hokage, Masashi Senju, the Third Raikage, A, the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki, and the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, are all close to the top. The Fourth Hokage died in his youth, so it's impossible to say. If he had lived long enough, he might have been close to the top as well," Mashiro said after thinking for a moment.

"You actually included legendary figures like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. But they are just legendary figures after all, so it's impossible to say exactly how strong they are. In my opinion, they are at most on par with the Third Raikage. They can't possibly cause the seas to turn upside down or meteors to fall from the sky," Yugito said softly.

Mashiro simply smiled slightly at this, neither confirming nor denying.

Young people today have forgotten the terror of being dominated by the God of Ninjas. But then again, if Mashiro hadn't been reborn, she couldn't imagine the power that treated Kage-level powerhouses like toys.

"And what about you? Where do you think your strength ranks?" Yugito suddenly asked with some curiosity. She had always thought that Mashiro was very strong, even the Two-Tails couldn't match her, but she could never imagine just how strong Mashiro really was.

"me?"

Mashiro pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Probably a little stronger than all of them." Hearing this, Yugito visibly paused, then looked at Mashiro and said, "That's a really lame joke." Clearly, she wasn't taking it seriously.

Mashiro didn't offer any explanation, but walked slowly forward until she reached the lakeside.

Looking at the clear water of the lake and the swirling mist around it, Mashiro reached her hand into the water. It was a little icy.

Then Mashiro turned to Yugito behind her and said, "Do you remember the lake in the Forest of Death?"

As Mashiro brought it up, memories that Yugito had deliberately hidden deep in his mind began to surface.

Yugito's face began to turn red. It was in that lake that Mashiro... and Mashiro even shaved her head... but it still hadn't grown back.

“Of course I remember,” Yugito said through gritted teeth. Mashiro nodded, then smiled and extended her hand to Yugito.

Seeing Mashiro's outstretched hand, inappropriate images began to flash through Yukito's mind. She quickly stepped back, gritting her teeth as she said, "Shiro..."

It's not suitable for today; let's try again tonight.

But Mashiro's hand still reached out, and Yugito could only close her eyes tightly.

A moment later, feeling that nothing had happened, Yugito opened her eyes. She had already been pulled to the lakeside by Mashiro. "See that? Fish in the lake. This is the first time I've ever seen fish in a lake this high up," Mashiro said softly. "Fish?"

Yugito then realized that he had misunderstood Mashiro's meaning, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then said, "The fish here are a specialty of the Land of Lightning."

There are varieties that only grow on high-altitude mountains. They are poisonous and cannot be eaten. Of course, in special circumstances, they can be used to stave off hunger after being roasted over a fire.

Upon hearing this, Mashiro nodded slightly, then came up behind Yugito and gently hugged her.

"Was Yugito thinking about something strange just now?" Mashiro asked, stroking Yugito's slender waist. "Really? No, I don't think so," Yugito replied, trying to appear calm.

Ignoring Yugito's lies, Mashiro continued her hand downwards, reaching hers, and whispered, "After Yugito returned to Kumogakure, did she...?"

But I remember your fishing net was very strong.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean." Yugito said calmly, her face flushed, as she gently rubbed her legs.

"Really? Then I must have misunderstood," Mashiro whispered in Yugito's ear, her breath lightly brushing against Yugito's earlobe. Yugito's legs went weak, and she leaned back against Mashiro.

Mashiro knew very well that the most sensitive part of Yugito's body was her ear.

"Alright, we've seen enough here. Let's go somewhere else," Yugito said, getting up as her body weakened.

Mashiro smiled gently; she naturally had no objection. Soon it was afternoon.

Throughout the morning, Yugito led Mashiro on a tour of what she considered the sights in Kumogakure. As they walked the streets of Kumogakure, the two were looking for a place to eat.

"Um, what would you like to eat?" Yugito asked. "The same as Yugito's is fine," Mashiro replied with a smile.

Yugito nodded slightly and led Mashiro toward one of her usual shops.

Just then, a beautiful woman with fair skin and short, light blonde hair waved at Yugito.

Yugito glanced at Mashiro, but ultimately took her with him and walked over. "What's this?" Samui looked at Mashiro and then asked Yugito.

“She’s an envoy from Konoha. She’s also one of my… well, a friend. I brought her to wander around Kumogakure,” Yugito said. “Hello, my name is Hyuga Mashiro,” Mashiro said, looking at Samui, especially lingering on a certain part of her body, extending her hand and smiling.

“Samui.” Samui also extended his hand. [Name: Samui]

Gender: Female Age: 28 Favorability: 25 Relationship: Strangers

Favorability Reward (50): Swordsmanship Mastery Favorability Reward (90): Photographic Memory

That makes some sense.

"Yugito and I are about to go eat. Samui, would you like to come along?" Mashiro asked softly, withdrawing her hand.

Chapter 135: The Great Battle of the Cloud Ninja (Part 5)

"No need, I still need to go to the library." Samui shook her head and said. "That's a pity." Zhenzi said softly, without trying to persuade her to stay any longer.

"I'll be going now, see you later," Samui said to Yugito, then turned and left. "How cold of her," Mashiro murmured after Samui left.

"She's always been like this—cold and aloof, and taciturn. She only becomes more talkative once you get to know her," Yugito explained softly. "I see. I'm really looking forward to it," Mashiro murmured to herself.

"What?" Yugito asked softly, not having heard Mashiro's words clearly. "Nothing, let's go eat," Mashiro said with a smile.

Yugito was a little puzzled, but didn't pay much attention, and the two went into the restaurant together. After finishing their meal, the two went out onto the street again.

“You’ve seen enough. Let me take you back. Is this the guesthouse?” Yugito said. “No need, you can stay here,” Mashiro said calmly.

Yugito was stunned. She wanted to refuse, but found herself unable to speak. "What, is it not allowed?" Mashiro looked at Yugito and said with a light laugh. "Sure, I'll take you there," Yugito said with a sigh of relief.

Although Mashiro is usually very easygoing and has a gentle personality, she can suddenly become serious at times, and at those times, she becomes extremely imposing.

The feeling of Tao is terrifying, and everyone who knows Mashiro can understand this feeling.

Just now, Yugito noticed the change in Mashiro's tone, which filled her with fear and made her unable to refuse.

The apartment where Yukito lived wasn't far from here; it was about a ten-minute walk. "Kapoo"

Yugito used the key to open the door and led Mashiro inside.

As a highly respected Jonin of Kumogakure, Yugito's apartment is very large and well-decorated, with everything one could need. The only odd thing is that various plush toys are placed in many places in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Mashiro picked up a pink pig-shaped cushion and said softly, "I didn't expect Yugito to like these things." Yugito didn't say anything, but made Mashiro a cup of tea.

No one had ever entered Yugito's house before, and she never thought of bringing anyone in. Even the cup she used to make tea for Mashiro was her own, so she naturally arranged the house very casually.

"What brings you here?" Yukito sat down opposite Kihaku and asked softly.

"What, can't you come if there's nothing wrong? If I remember correctly, you were my slave, weren't you?" Mashiro stood up, bent down, reached out and removed Yugito's headband, stroked her forehead, and said calmly.

Yugito gritted her teeth, gently closed her eyes, then opened them and said, "Welcome, Master. May I ask what you need?" "It's rare that Yugito calls me Master. I'm very pleased," Mashiro said with a smile as she sat back on the sofa.

Yugito remained calm. For some reason, seeing Mashiro sitting there, she felt a profound sense of despair that she couldn't resist and could only submit to.

The Caged Bird Seal is a spiritual seal used by the Hyuga clan to control the branch family members, and it is closely related to the Byakugan. At this time, Mashiro's Byakugan has already been upgraded to the Tenseigan.

The control over the caged bird is more powerful, and at the same time, it generates a stronger sense of superiority over the person controlled by the caged bird.

“There’s something I need your cooperation on,” Mashiro said softly. Yugito looked at Mashiro, waiting for her to continue.

"What do you think are the chances of the Cloud Village winning if that mysterious organization attacks Cloud Village and takes the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?" Mashiro suddenly asked.

"I have now basically mastered the power of the Two-Tails and become a perfect Jinchūriki. Add to that another perfect Jinchūriki, Lord Killer Bee, and..."

"The Fourth Raikage, and countless ninjas currently in the village—I think if that organization had any brains, they would never come directly to Kumogakure to capture us," Yugito said after a moment's thought.

“No, they will come,” Mashiro said softly.

"Are all members going out together?" Yugito frowned slightly.

If all members of that mysterious organization were to launch a joint attack on Kumogakure, even if they ultimately fail, it would still cause significant damage to the village and result in the deaths and injuries of many ninjas.

“No, only two members will be sent,” Mashiro said.

"Two?" Yugito was puzzled; in her view, this was tantamount to suicide.

“Sometimes, surprise and unexpectedness are the best plans—surprise yourself, surprise the opponent,” Mashiro said softly.

The same thing happened when Nagato attacked Konoha. No one expected the Akatsuki to directly attack the entire village, let alone that their strength was so great. Otherwise, given Konoha's fighting power and its full strength, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.

Yugito looked at Mashiro with a puzzled expression, not understanding what Mashiro meant by "looking at".

"In short, the entire Cloud Ninja will be destroyed, all buildings will be damaged, mountains will be razed to the bottom, and countless residents will die or be injured." Mashiro said, clasping his hands together and resting his chin on them.

Yugito was still incredibly puzzled; she couldn't fathom what kind of attack could have caused such a scene. "What do you want to do?" Yugito asked.

“I want to save those residents,” Mashiro said softly.

“So you need my cooperation,” Yugito said, having already understood Mashiro’s meaning.

Mashiro nodded slightly, then said, "I know you might not believe me now, but it's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it?" "Shouldn't we inform Lord Raikage first?" Yugito asked.

“He won’t believe it; it’ll only waste time,” Mashiro said softly. Of course, more importantly, Mashiro had no intention of telling him in the first place.

“Okay, I understand. What do I need to do?” Yugito asked, looking at Mashiro. “Then…” Mashiro explained softly.

Yugito's expression shifted from calm to a slight frown, and finally, a strange look appeared in her eyes. "Are you sure this will work?" Yugito asked, somewhat doubtfully.

“Of course.” Mashiro nodded seriously. “Then, okay.” Yugito nodded in agreement.

"Well then, let's continue what we did this morning at Leiquan Cliff," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"What?" Yugito was initially confused, then instantly realized what was happening. Mashiro stood up, pounced on Yugito, and pinned her to the sofa. Yugito's face flushed, but surprisingly, she didn't resist.

Mashiro stroked Yugito's waist, then moved downwards, reaching inside her clothes.

The cold hand made You tense up. "Be gentle."

Yugito turned her head and said with a smile. Mashiro smiled and kissed her.

"What are you doing? No, I've only just started growing." "Don't move around, it looks better when it's smooth."

The clouds have stopped and the rain has ceased.

"Didn't I tell you to be gentle?" Yugito said in a slightly hoarse voice.

She lay on the sofa, half her body slumped over, utterly exhausted. "No, you clearly said to use force," Mashiro said, slowly putting on her clothes. Yugito pondered for a moment, then remained silent.

"Alright, I'll head back now. Take a rest and don't forget to take a shower," Mashiro said, pushing open the door and leaving. Yugito was left alone, silently pounding the sofa after Mashiro left.

Upon reaching the street, it was already evening; the sun was about to set completely, and the moon had already risen.

"Tomorrow, it should begin," Mashiro murmured. Meanwhile, on the other side...
