It's decided! I'll go back and get thoroughly cleaned! When the sun sets in the month of Maoyue, I'll begin the first decisive battle of my life!
Before long, he and Uchiha Mikoto returned to the camp.
Along the way, some ninjas who saw him exclaimed in surprise, while others were delighted.
When we arrived at the main tent, the setting sun of Maoyue was already out to greet us.
"With the Sage of Six Paths above, you're still alive at least," said Uzuki Yuhi, letting out a deep breath.
Her hair was a mess again, and her face was exhausted. Even her eyes were bloodshot.
The pressure that Shenyue Xingyun was under during her 'disappearance' was greater than that of fighting for three consecutive days.
If Shenyue Xingyun were to die, it would have a huge impact on the situation on the entire northern front.
Fortunately, the other person is still alive.
Uzuki Yuhi turned to the ninja in charge of relaying messages: "Send a signal to Lord Minato that the Jonin from the Nebula clan has returned."
After saying that, he looked at Shingetsu Seiun and Uchiha Mikoto and said, "Come in quickly and tell me the details."
Upon hearing the word 'details', Mikoto Uchiha unconsciously clenched her hands.
Upon entering the main tent, Shingetsu Seiun began to recount her recent experiences, from the deviation from the battlefield and Onoki's sneak attack to her escape by diving into the swamp.
When it was Uchiha Mikoto's turn: "When I went there, Onoki probably didn't have any energy left, so he left without lingering."
"Then they went into the water and brought him up."
"that's it."
The writer, recording the sunset of the month of Maoyue, stopped writing: "That's it?"
Mikoto Uchiha: "That's all."
Uzuki Yuhi: "Alright." Just as he put down his pen, Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing that the Shenyue Nebula was safe and sound, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Uzuki Yuhi stood up and briefly reported the recorded information to Namikaze Minato.
Minato Namikaze's eyes turned cold.
"Ohnoki."
“He rarely went to the front lines before, but what’s going on lately? He’s been taking action one after another.”
Last time, he killed the Uchiha clan's genius, Shisui, and this time he's heading straight for Shingetsu Nebula. If it weren't for a bit of luck, he might not have made it back.
Uzuki Yuhi and Shinzuki Seiun were unsure, but after a moment of silence, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly spoke up: 'Because you are all too outstanding.'
"Shisui, Seiun, and you, Minato Jonin."
“Genius ninjas like you are rare. Even a regular ninja village would be lucky to have one, let alone three at once.”
"Onoki may be able to sit idly by and watch the war turn against him temporarily, but he cannot afford to be indifferent to the future development of the village."
Shingetsu Seiun and Namikaze Minato exchanged a glance.
Is it wrong to be excellent?
At this moment, Maoyue Xiyang asked, "What do we do next?"
"If Ai and Kirabi attack again, should we adopt a defensive plan or other more conservative strategies?"
Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it at that for now."
"With Onoki taking action personally, the Third Hokage can't possibly sit idly by. Perhaps things will take a turn for the better later."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded perfunctorily, but she had already decided in her heart that she should never place her hopes on others.
Ultimately, one's own strength is the most important thing.
So the first thing he did after the conversation ended and he returned to his tent was to take a bath.
She was washed clean, her skin was fair and rosy, and then she changed into a clean set of clothes.
He felt that the setting sun in the month of Maoyue would come to find him today.
The other person's work pressure is obvious, and with his safe return, it's the perfect time to relax.
He was right.
After resting for a short while, there was a knock on the door.
"It's me." The familiar mature voice, unlike the irritability of the daytime, carried a hint of anticipation and relaxation.
Shenyue Xingyun got up and went to open the door.
Uzuki Yuhi wore a brand-new ninja outfit, her long hair, still slightly damp, was pinned back with an overly elaborate hairpin.
"Women are a bit more troublesome, and it took a little more time," explained Uzuki Yuhi succinctly.
Shenyue Xingyun naturally understood. After letting the other person into the house, she closed the door.
As Uzuki Yuhi walked inside, he said, "I just saw that girl from Kakashi's squad looking at your tent not far away."
"His eyes do resemble those of that Uchiha guy who wears sunglasses."
Do you need some time to handle this?
Shenyue Xingyun shook her head: "No need."
Maoyue Xiyang's eyes curved into a smile: "Shall we continue our previous duel?"
Shen Yue Xingyun slowly channeled her chakra: "Alright."
It's the same familiar starting stance, the same deadly glance.
Shen Yue Xingyun remained secretly on guard.
He knew that Uzuki Yuhi in front of him was not an easy opponent to deal with. He had almost lost face last time, so he had made preparations in advance this time.
If you feel pressured, fight back with your hands.
If he senses danger, he releases his magical artifact. Although it might seem like cheating, sometimes... he can't afford to lose.
But just after he had made all the preparations, as the two continued to fight inside the tent, with the winds of their palms roaring, the sword light flashing, and the chakra energy surging, Shen Yue Xingyun gradually realized... that he seemed to be quite powerful.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it "somewhat impressive," but compared to the last battle, it seems like it's adapted much better this time.
Am I really that talented?
Shen Yue Xingyun thought to himself. He didn't think much of it, but was just delighted that he didn't seem to need to cheat anymore.
The confidence he gained from relying on his own abilities instantly made him much happier.
Finally, the chakra surged even more intensely within the tent, and the sharp sword light of Shingetsu Nebula approached Uzuki Yuhi.
"Are you ready?"
The sword's edge gleamed like a rainbow, sending chills down one's spine.
Maoyue Xiyang suppressed his fear and told himself: Don't be afraid! The other side is not a seasoned warrior either, and it's not certain who will win or lose.
She looked directly into Shenyue Xingyun's eyes, her watery pupils reflecting the flames of battle within her heart.
"Bring it on!"
Chapter 223 Sweet Dreams
Like Shingetsu Seiun, Uchiha Mikoto, as a support Jonin, also had her own independent tent. Although its specifications were slightly different from Shingetsu Seiun's, it was still fully equipped.
A large tub of hot water was prepared, and Uchiha Mikoto changed out of her disheveled ninja outfit and immersed herself in the water.
The warmth enveloped her. Normally, she would have lazily rested, read a book, or had a cup of tea, but now, she simply hugged her arms tightly, feeling the anxiety in her heart.
After a long while, she hugged her head tightly with both arms and murmured to herself.
"Uchiha Mikoto".
"What exactly did you do... what did you do?!"
Images flashed through her mind.
The scene includes Fugaku fighting in battle, Itachi Uchiha running towards him with his arms outstretched, Shinzuki Seiun smiling at her with a sunny smile, and... herself.
There are so many of her own stories.
A dignified woman in the sunlight, a stranger in the dim light.
The wife of the dignified Uchiha clan leader shattered herself in a corner unknown to anyone.
She remembers her own appearance clearly.
Is it yourself that you love it so much and are reluctant to part with it?
Mikoto Uchiha had her doubts, wondering if she had been plotted against by Onoki or someone else, but upon reflection, she sadly realized... that it seemed not.
She felt as if she were drunk, and all the dissatisfaction, repression, and emotions she had kept hidden in her heart were suddenly released. No one had harmed her; it was just that the cage in her heart had been opened, unlocked by a magical key.
I can still remember every thought I had at the time.
It's nobody's fault.
I don't blame anyone.
Nebula... didn't do it on purpose.
Looking up, Mikoto Uchiha gazed at the water vapor in front of her.
She originally wanted to wash herself clean.
But when she poured warm water over herself, she found that she didn't feel very dirty.
There was no aversion.
On the contrary, as she felt a genuine warmth, Mikoto Uchiha was ashamed to discover that she was reminiscing.
Memories of every little detail.
"You've really gone too far!" Mikoto Uchiha cursed herself under her breath and sped up.
After finishing tidying up and lying down to rest, Uchiha Mikoto said to herself, "Get a good night's sleep, and you'll forget everything when you wake up tomorrow."
