Shenyue Xingyun: "What are you thanking me for?"
Minato Namikaze said seriously, "Jonin Nebula, you are even more outstanding than I imagined. With you here, the pressure on the northern front has been greatly reduced."
The two walked together toward the command tent, receiving enthusiastic glances from Konoha ninjas along the way.
Some cheered, some admired, and others stood quietly and watched the victorious heroes return.
Among the crowd was Kakashi Hatake's team, and the three of them looked at Shinzuki Seiun, who was surrounded by Minato Namikaze, with different expressions.
Nohara Rin's gaze was complicated.
'He's still so dazzling,' she thought to herself.
Even when she was still in school, Shenyue Xingyun was always the center of attention.
Back then, it was because of his good looks that he was surrounded by female students from all grades. Now, although there are still quite a few female ninjas with bright eyes surrounding him, there are far more male ninjas.
It's no longer because of appearance, but because of the other party's strength.
To stand up to Killer Bee and repel the Jinchuriki who would cause Konoha so much trouble is an act that deserves the cheers and respect of the Konoha ninja.
In her heart, the figure locked in a cage called "scumbag" seemed to have quietly gained a lot of radiance. That radiance was not dazzling, but it made her feel a strange burning and anxiety in her heart.
Taking a deep breath, Nohara Rin forcefully suppressed the feeling and mentally reinforced the cage with huge nails.
'Rin Nohara, forget him.'
He's not the right person for you.
'no.'
He kept telling himself this, but his hands unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes, and his gaze gradually became vacant.
"Crunch, crunch~" That was the sound of Obito Uchiha gritting his teeth.
Whenever he stood with Nohara Rin, a portion of his attention was always fixed on her.
He could always sense when the latter's emotions changed significantly.
Looking at the complicated gaze of his beloved woman, he looked at Shenyue Xingyun in the crowd, his fists clenching unconsciously.
My teeth are aching slightly from biting them.
"Hey, tone it down a bit." Kakashi Hatake kindly reminded him from beside him.
Obito Uchiha certainly knew what the other party was talking about, but it would be difficult for him to do it.
The masseter muscles are still unconsciously exerting force.
Kakashi Hatake could only remind him again: "He is now a hero on the northern front."
"Now that you've returned victorious, can you control your expression?"
"Think of the Third Generation, think of the Will of Fire."
"Perspective, perspective!"
Reminded by Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha had no choice but to force himself to suppress his expression in order to avoid attracting attention.
His deliberately upturned lips looked more like a sneer. Helpless, he simply raised his hands, tapped his heels lightly, and tried his best to appear as if he were celebrating a hero.
His hands were clapping in celebration, and his eyes were twitching. This strange sight, unfortunately, fell into the eyes of Shingetsu Nebula.
Seeing Obito Uchiha's strange posture of raising his hands and jumping, Shingetsu Seiun's heart skipped a beat.
What's going on? What's with this weird pose?
I came back from the battlefield, not from Dandong.
Their eyes met, and Obito's movements abruptly froze. His raised hands seemed caught between a rock and a hard place, and his twitching cheeks shook uncontrollably as if a switch had been flipped.
Kakashi Hatake stepped in and pulled his hands down.
In return, he received a glare from Obito Uchiha.
"It's all your fault, you embarrassed me again."
Kakashi Hatake: "I was clearly trying to help you, why are you blaming me?"
"I didn't ask you to help me."
Obito Uchiha: "If you hadn't reminded me with your 'big picture' thinking, I wouldn't have reached out."
Kakashi Hatake: "..."
On the other hand, after withdrawing his gaze, Shingetsu Seiun no longer looked at Uchiha Obito.
He had gotten used to the latter's strange gaze, and even if they struck some incomprehensible poses, he was no longer surprised.
As he walked back to the camp with Minato Namikaze, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the setting sun over Uzuki.
Because the other person's gaze was also strange.
Her messy hair hadn't been tidied up and was casually pinned behind her head. She also had faint dark circles under her eyes, seemingly due to excessive mental exertion, but it didn't ruin her image.
At that moment, Uzuki Yuhi looked at him intently.
Chapter 210 The Headache of Yunyin
Shenyue Xingyun was familiar with this gaze.
Back in Konoha, I encountered this kind of gaze when I met a bold woman on the street.
With a slight change in her gaze, Shenyue Xingyun subconsciously became wary—when traveling, it's best to protect yourself and be cautious.
His change in expression did not escape the notice of Uzuki Yuhi, who took a deep breath and tried to appear normal.
'The setting sun in the month of Mao (卯月), calm down, calm down.'
'You're just too tired from work.'
'Just go back and get some sleep, don't overthink it! You're not interested in men,' Uzuki Yuhi thought to herself.
She herself found it strange.
From the time she started school with her younger sister, they would talk about which boys were handsome and which were annoying. Throughout her life, she rarely showed any interest in men.
On the contrary, whenever teenage boys approach her in a cheeky manner, she responds with a cold shoulder to make them back off.
This situation did not change after graduation.
Later, she went to the battlefield and met Minato Namikaze. Unlike the other men, he didn't make her feel disgusted; in fact, as they worked together, she developed a liking for him.
Sunny, clean, and good-looking.
But that's all. One reason is that I'm not that interested, and another is that the other person already has a partner.
Later, she met Jiraiya on the battlefield of Kumogakure.
The latter's appearance made her even more averse to men.
Fortunately, not long ago, the other party suddenly disappeared, and her work environment became much quieter. However, with the other party's disappearance, the pressure on the Cloud Hidden Battlefield is increasing.
She hasn't been sleeping well at night lately, and she scratches her head during the day; her condition is getting worse and worse.
Just when she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, Shenyue Xingyun arrived.
Uzuki Yuhi admitted that she had never seen a man like this before.
A man... can look like this?
unreasonable!
But it suits my taste!
Just looking at it seemed to improve even the exhaustion caused by work.
At this moment, the enemy's first battle on the northern front achieved unexpected results, which relieved her pressure and made her feel much better about Shenyue Xingyun.
The opponent wasn't exaggerating; their combat strength is indeed impressive.
"Jonin Yuhi, what are you standing there for?" Minato Namikaze walked over and said, "Come inside, let's discuss how to deal with the next attack from Kumogakure."
Maoyue Xiyang regained his senses, suppressed his fluctuating emotions, and turned to walk into the main tent.
This victory over Kumogakure was partly due to the replenishment of Konoha's high-level combat power, and partly due to the element of surprise.
The next battle will likely be one where we come prepared.
Hidden in the clouds.
The atmosphere at the camp was somewhat subdued.
Even when Killer Bee delivered a ten-minute rap to boost morale, it had little effect.
The ninjas were very depressed.
With Jiraiya absent, the high-ranking forces of Kumogakure temporarily overwhelmed Konoha's. They had originally planned to use this time to expand their gains and solidify the battle, but unexpectedly, Konoha suddenly received another powerful reinforcement.
"We've confirmed it. The person who came is 'Konoha Demon Star'," Motoi reported from the command center, relaying the intelligence he had gathered.
Ai's gaze sharpened: "The Leaf Village's Demon Star?"
"The one who recently rose to fame during the Ninja World War?"
Motoi nodded: "That's right."
"'Konoha Demon Star,' whose real name is Shingetsu Seiun, is the eldest son of the Shingetsu clan of Konoha."
Ai: "The Shenyue family? I've never heard of them?"
Motoi explained, "The Shingetsu Clan is not a major clan in Konoha. The most powerful ninja they have ever produced was just an ordinary Jonin."
"In recent years, the Shingetsu clan has lost many ninjas, and can only be considered a declining small clan. There are only Shingetsu Seiun and his younger brother Shingetsu Izumo who has not yet graduated. Of course, with Shingetsu Seiun now, the Shingetsu clan can no longer be considered to have declined."
"Intelligence indicates that the Shingetsu family has never produced a powerful swordsmanship lineage, nor has anyone particularly skilled in fire release techniques. This Konoha prodigy is like Minato Namikaze, a Konoha genius who suddenly rose to prominence."
Ai's expression darkened.
"Another Minato Namikaze?"
One Minato Namikaze is already giving the leaders of the major ninja villages a major headache; if another one comes along, it will only add fuel to the fire.
Seeing Ai's unpleasant expression, Motoi could understand.
Minato Namikaze had a huge impact on the leadership of the major ninja villages.
