"Mommy!" A small figure rushed up after Shenyue Xingyun.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mikoto Uchiha's eyes glazed over for a moment.

Her first thought was that she was hallucinating.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Itachi Uchiha's little face was full of worry.

Mikoto Uchiha finally woke up.

Her eyes quickly fell on Uchiha Itachi, and then she couldn't take her eyes off him!

"Itachi!"

She squatted down and hugged her son tightly in her arms.

"Itachi!" she murmured, afraid that everything before her was just her imagination.

Hearing Itachi Uchiha's voice in his ear and feeling the real life force, he was overwhelmed with the joy of regaining what he had lost.

Seeing this, the many Jonin and Orochimaru present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the boy standing there, seemingly radiating light, Orochimaru nodded slightly.

"Did you find it?"

Shenyue Xingyun replied, "Our squad discovered it during the retreat with the main force."

"Very good," Orochimaru said. "To be able to rescue someone in the midst of a chaotic battle is quite impressive."

He looked at Shenyue Xingyun, recalling the other's exceptional swordsmanship, and his gaze revealed admiration.

After thinking for a moment, he formed a hand seal and then pressed it on the table in front of him.

With a 'bang,' a puff of smoke dissipated, revealing a classically designed and exquisitely crafted longsword.

He picked up the longsword and came to Shenyue Xingyun.

"It's not appropriate to convert it into military merit, so consider it my personal reward for you."

Shenyue Xingyun quickly considered the matter and then did not refuse.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

He drew his longsword, its cold gleam evident; it was clearly no ordinary weapon. Indeed, Orochimaru, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, would never bestow a mere ordinary weapon as a reward. Thinking of his own longsword, already riddled with nicks, Orochimaru's reward was quite fitting.

As he sheathed his sword and was contemplating whether he should take his leave, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly embraced him.

"Thank you."

"Nebula, thank you."

Shingetsu Seiun was momentarily at a loss. He hurriedly said, "Mikoto-sensei, this is what I should do."

Mikoto Uchiha didn't say anything. She gently released her hand, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have a request."

Orochimaru: "It's not a request, Jonin Mikoto. What's the matter?"

Mikoto Uchiha said, "The situation on the Northwest front is settled. I want the Nebula Squad to send Itachi back."

Orochimaru thought for a moment.

Although he had a high opinion of Shingetsu Seiun and was even considering getting to know her, he was just a special Jonin, and he knew perfectly well how much more important she was compared to Uchiha Mikoto.

Only by sending Itachi Uchiha back can Mikoto Uchiha focus on her work on the front lines.

Orochimaru said, "Alright."

"In that case, the Shingetsu Nebula team will take Uchiha Itachi and the genin who will be rotating back to the village."

Mikoto Uchiha said, "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

Leaving the main tent, Uchiha Mikoto, along with Uchiha Itachi and Kamizuki Seiun, returned to the latter's camp. Upon seeing Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, they were met with another round of gratitude and emotion, leaving the two at a loss for words.

After a short while, once Mikoto Uchiha had calmed down a bit, she brought up the matter of having the team escort Itachi Uchiha back to the village.

"Nebula, Red, and Asma."

"I'll have to ask you to take care of Itachi for a while longer."

"Also, no matter who comes looking for Itachi, even if they are from the Uchiha clan, we cannot let them take Itachi away."

Sarutobi Asuma patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mikoto-sensei."

"Leave it to us."

……

"Kanako, what have you thought about what I said?"

"Are you going to say yes or no?"

"You're dawdling, it's driving me crazy."

In the Konoha troop heading to the northwestern border for troop rotation, a strikingly beautiful girl, who attracted the frequent glances of the newly graduated genin, was currently whispering in another girl's ear.

Kanako covered her ears, trying not to hear, but it was no use. The sound beside her would ring out precisely the moment she removed her hands from her ears.

"Caixiang, please."

"Please, I'm begging you, can you just let me have some peace and quiet?"

Muto Saika said with a wronged look, "But you haven't answered my question yet."

"I'll think about it!" Kanako emphasized. "Didn't you understand what I meant by 'I'll think about it'?"

Muto Saika said, "But we'll be there soon."

When will you make up your mind?

"How about..." Mutou Saika's gaze shifted, "When we get here, I'll take that as a yes?"

Kanako slapped her forehead.

"You really beat me."

Since returning to the village after her rotation, Kanako hasn't had a single day of peace.

Muto Saika, a pretty girl with many fans at school, becomes her tagalong, finding opportunities to stay by her side every day, scheming to persuade her to listen to her advice and carry out some 'fight side by side' plan!

Kanako initially disagreed, of course! She righteously and firmly rejected the other party.

However, this girl, Muto Saika, somehow learned a trick and started visiting and researching information.

The other party spent several days and put in a lot of effort to collect a thick stack of information about the Divine Moon Nebula, which they then presented to her, intending to persuade her with great seriousness.

"Take a look!"

"You'll regret it if you don't take this seriously!"

Chapter 133 Inside and Outside the Barrier

Kanako thought the other party was exaggerating.

Unable to resist the other party's persistence, I could only reluctantly glance at the information in front of me.

One glance, then two glances... and then she couldn't sleep.

In terms of beauty, family background, and ability, she seems to have no advantage on this list.

"Don't you feel any sense of crisis?"

"Without my help, how could you possibly defeat them?" Muto Saika continued to tempt her.

"If you nod, I can help you."

"And I promise that I will always be on your side."

Shaking her head, Kanako tried her best to calm herself down, putting Mutou Saika's seductive words out of her mind.

"Caixiang, stop talking."

"Let me think about it..."

Muto Saika nodded, giving Kanako time to think alone, and when the other wasn't paying attention, a smile appeared on her lips.

Marching forward, on the road.

Finally, the base came into view.

Early in the morning, Kanako tiptoed around looking for Shingetsu Seiun, but whether it was because her mind was too chaotic or because there were too many people, she couldn't find him.

In the end, it was Mutou Saika who kindly reached out and pointed out the location for her.

"There! There it is!"

Kanako looked up and, sure enough, saw Shinzuki Seiun's figure. She quickly waved her hand.

An hour later, inside Kanako's tent.

As soon as Shenyue Xingyun entered, she rushed over to her.

"Great!"

"I can see you every day again."

Gently stroking the other person's head, Shenyue Xingyun helplessly explained.

"Kanako, it seems it won't work this time."

I'm leaving soon.

Kanako looked up in shock: "Where are we going?"

Shingetsu Seiun said, "Orochimaru led the Jonin team to achieve great results against Iwagakure. There shouldn't be any important battles in the near future."

"I was assigned to return to the village with the troops that were being relieved of their posts."

Kanako was extremely disappointed.

She thought she could spend the rest of her days with Shenyue Xingyun.

Shenyue Xingyun comforted her, "Don't think like that, try to think positively."

"At least it's much safer here."
