Shenyue Xingyun scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry, something urgent came up."

"Yes, I know, it must be urgent." Uzuki Yuhi's expression was still not good. "But is there really a need to be in such a hurry?"

One second she felt fulfilled, the next second a figure flashed before her eyes, and she felt empty.

This...heartless man!

Who leaves suddenly at a crucial moment?! It kept her up for most of the night.

What could Shenyue Xingyun do but apologize repeatedly?

"Sorry sorry."

"I'll definitely make it up to you next time."

Maoyue Xiyang raised an eyebrow: "I'm already thinking about next time."

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback.

"Then... we don't need to do it next time?"

Could it be that the intensity of the war was not high, and the other side was planning to return to a peaceful life?

Maoyue Xiyang's eyes flashed, then she turned her head away: "No, I was just saying it casually."

"Come to my place tonight to discuss camp defense."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

If there's work tonight, that's fine. As long as she gets to work, this workaholic, Uzuki Yuhi, will definitely forget about leaving.

"Where is Lord Jiraiya?"

"How did he react when I was gone for so long?"

“No reaction.” Uzuki Yuhi snorted lightly. “Since you weren’t coming back, I told him you had discovered enemy activity and went out to investigate.”

"You can explain it to him using this reason later, or you can think of another reason."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Thank you."

"Add half an hour tonight."

The setting sun in the month of Maoyue blushed.

That night, Maoyue Xiyang worked overtime for half an hour.

The following day, under the setting sun of the Rabbit Moon, he worked with even more energy and had exceptionally high spirits.

Even the familiar campsites looked much better than usual. She thought it was related to her good sleep schedule, so that evening, she and Shenyue Xingyun worked an extra half hour.

On the third day, I continued to work overtime.

Day 4, Day 5...

Many days later.

In the command tent, a stack of documents lay scattered along the edge of the huge sand table.

The setting sun, with an extra hour's shift inside the barrier, spread across the wooden table at the edge of the sand table.

Her gaze was somewhat vacant and unfocused, and she murmured to herself.

"very nice."

"That's great!"

The Shenyue Nebula is approaching.

"What are you talking about?"

Uzuki Sunset: "I mean, the war is going to end, that's good."

Shenyue Xingyun smiled gently.

Gently stroking the water droplet, he asked, "What are your plans after we get back?"

Maoyue Xiyang laboriously looked up: "What...what arrangements?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "If you say the war is over, then let's pretend none of this ever happened."

Uzuki Yuhi looked at him with tender eyes: "What are you saying?"

"That's weird, I don't understand."

"We'll be the same as we are when we go back."

Shingetsu Nebula: "What about Yugao?"

Should we tell her?

The setting sun in the month of Uzuki fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, she said, "She's still young and doesn't understand anything."

"Let me think about how to talk to her."

"Let's put that aside for now and review the combat exercise we just did."

Fifteen minutes later.

The debriefing exercise left Maoyue Xiyang sweating profusely.

Just as sweat soaked the desk, a notification sounded in Shenyue Xingyun's mind.

[Ding! ~]

[Current Mission: Inseparable Friends (Friendship forged on the battlefield is especially precious; please deepen your connection with Uzuki Yuhi and enthusiastically respond to his challenges) Completed!]

[Please select the mission reward: 1. Noble Phantasm: God-Slaying Whip; 2. Noble Phantasm: Demon-Slaying Drill; 3. Noble Phantasm: Water-Stabilizing Pearl.]

Shenyue Xingyun continued her work while checking the reward details.

[Noble Phantasm - God-Slaying Whip: The attacked party's dignity -1, happiness +1.] At the same time, the image of 'God-Slaying Whip' pops up on the panel.

The entire whip is jet black and made of an unknown type of leather. The handle, about the length of a hand, is made of intricately woven leather, from which more than ten long strips of leather, each over a foot long, extend.

Shenyue Xingyun looked at it and felt that it was strangely familiar.

[Noble Phantasm - Demon-Slaying Drill: Reduces the attacker's defense by half and triggers a hidden weakness.]

The same image also appeared.

This time, it was a short, bright silver metal cone. Shaped like a teardrop, it was pointed at one end and rounded at the other, with an iron ring extending from the rounded end, from which a fluffy ornament was attached.

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

This is no longer just familiar.

He'd seen this before! But it was definitely not called a Demon-Slaying Drill!

He sighed inwardly and looked at the last treasure.

[Noble Phantasm - Water-Stabilizing Bead: A frequency-based attack that doubles the rate at which the target dehydrates and allows the user to manipulate water elements within a two-meter diameter based on their will.]

The accompanying image is of a transparent bead in blue and pink, larger than a quail egg but smaller than a chicken egg, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball.

Although she already knew exactly how it would be used, Shenyue Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, no one in the ninja world would notice anything unusual about the appearance of this treasure.

Moreover, its ability to control water elements within two meters is not entirely useless; it can also be used as a water-repellent bead when submerged in water.

'I choose the water droplet!'

[I have selected 'Noble Phantasm: Water-Stabilizing Pearl'.]

[Bound to: Uzuki Yuhi (Instance - Uzuki Yugao)]

[New Quest Issued: Establish Family Ties (As close comrades, you haven't visited each other's homes yet. Please discuss cultivation at their homes, remembering not to disturb the children's studies.)]

[Task Timeframe: Two Years]

[Task Rewards (Choose one): 1. Summoning Beast: Golden-winged Black Eagle; 2. Summoning Beast: Fragrant Whale Kun; 3. Summoning Beast: Crimson Flame Hou.]

The mission was very positive, and Shenyue Xingyun faced it calmly.

Having grown accustomed to this, he even took the time to check if the summoning beast reward included any details.

"What...are you thinking about?" The bewildered Uzuki Yuhi sensed Shingetsu Seiun's absent-mindedness and asked.

Shenyue Xingyun came to her senses and smiled gently.

"nothing."

"Let's continue."

"!!!!!!!!!!~"

Chapter 238 Yekura's Revenge

The war is over.

As fighting gradually subsided in various battlefields, the news spread faster and faster.

The ninjas from each village also sensed the attitude of their respective villages, and a ceasefire had become a basic consensus.

Although the troops of each village have not completely withdrawn, this is to increase their bargaining power. The higher-ups have realized that none of the villages have the strength or economic resources to support the war any longer.

Just as all the factions ceased hostilities, Shingetsu Seiun received a message from Yekura.

Late that night, after leaving behind a shadow clone brimming with chakra, Shingetsu Seiun quietly left the camp.

The Land of Wind.

The nearest town to Sunagakure.

Inside a house, candlelight flickered, and Ye Cang was carefully carving a wooden puppet when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Ye Cang put down what he was holding, looked up and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me," came the voice of Shingetsu Nebula.

Ye Cang lowered his guard, got up and went to open the door.

When the Shingetsu Nebula removed its black hood, the houses seemed to brighten considerably.
