After reading the information about the new mission, Shenyue Xingyun couldn't help but sigh.

Will I be struck by lightning one day?

Kurenai Yuhi behind him remained silent, but Shingetsu Seiun knew he could no longer stay silent.

He spoke first, saying, "Red."

"I'm thinking, is this not fair to you?"

"If I were to get along with you... Jonin Shinku definitely wouldn't agree."

The Yuhi family has strict upbringing, and Yuhi Kurenai is a dutiful daughter. If Yuhi Shinku knew that her precious daughter was dating him, she would probably lock Yuhi Kurenai in the house and then confront him with bloodshot eyes.

Kurenai Yuhi clearly understood what Shingetsu Seiun was saying.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I am the one who decides my own life."

Shingetsu Seiun: "You mean you'll compete with Shinku Jonin?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "...No, what I mean is, as long as it's not made public, it's fine."

Shenyue Xingyun raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Mm." Kurenai's voice was soft, but her attitude was firm.

"I know what I want."

"Nebula, please stay by my side no matter what."

Shenyue Xingyun turned around.

Kurenai Yuhi released her hands and, after Shingetsu Seiun turned around, cupped Shingetsu Seiun's hands in her own.

She raised her head, her rose-red eyes sparkling.

"Nebula~"

Chapter 255 Enchantment Rewards

Her jewel-like eyes sparkled.

His gaze was so intense that even Shingetsu Seiun couldn't withstand it. Seeing Kurenai Yuhi approaching, he suddenly reached out a hand and gently covered Kurenai Yuhi's eyes.

That's much better.

He felt much better when he realized he wasn't being gazed at so affectionately by the other person's beautiful eyes.

Feeling the force in her hand, Kurenai continued to pull closer. Shingetsu Seiun spoke up: "Kurenai, are you sure you've thought this through?"

Kurenai nodded: "I've made up my mind."

"I had thought about it a long time ago."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Don't you feel wronged?"

Kurenai pursed her lips: "No. I think... it's very exciting."

She felt even better when Shenyue Xingyun's hand blocked her view.

In the darkness, a complex and turbulent emotion was brewing.

She reached out and placed her hand on the hand in front of her. Not to move it away, but simply to hold it tightly.

The warmth spreads, and a familiar feeling rises from the bottom of my heart.

Beside the Valley of the End, the moisture gradually thickens…

...

"Young man, don't be in a hurry."

"Take your time with work; you'll be competent someday."

"While we old bones can still move, we won't let you bear the pressure alone."

"That's right, don't be afraid to ask questions and don't be afraid of trouble."

Outside the Hokage's office, Shingetsu Seiun listened to the sounds coming from inside and shook his head secretly.

You can tell from the voices that the two old men talking inside are Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

Since Minato Namikaze took over, these two have been going to his office almost every day. Over time, even Seiun Kamizuki has run into them several times. And every time they do, the two are usually giving Minato a long lecture.

The two patiently provided guidance on village policing, government affairs, and even the issuance and handling of tasks.

The ninja at the door whispered, "Lord Nebula, why don't you go and 'save' the Hokage?"

"The two consultants have been talking inside for over an hour."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun sighed inwardly.

More than an hour. The two old guys didn't seem to mind getting thirsty.

He usually wouldn't bother with such things, but today he was there to ask Minato Namikaze for help, so after thinking for a moment, he knocked on the office door.

"Lord Hokage, I have a mission to report."

Minato Namikaze's voice immediately came from inside the room: "Please come in."

Shingetsu Seiun pushed open the door and entered, where he was greeted by two old men with displeased expressions, and Namikaze Minato with eyes that seemed to have seen a savior.

He nodded calmly, then nodded to Minato Namikaze: "Hokage-sama, the Anbu has some matters to report to you."

Minato Namikaze pretended to be troubled and looked at Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. Seeing this, the two old guys finally got up.

"Since the secret service needs to report, we'll take our leave now."

Minato Namikaze had just breathed a sigh of relief when Koharu Utatane added, "Let's come again tomorrow."

Minato Namikaze: "..."

After the two left, Minato Namikaze slumped weakly into a chair.

He asked Shingetsu Nebula, "Nebula, it's not often that you come to me to report on your work."

"Speak, what happened to the Anbu?"

Shingetsu Seiun casually remarked, "Kakashi is injured."

Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly: "Injured?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "But it's nothing serious."

"He's developing Lightning Release, but he hasn't fully mastered it yet. He strained his back from exerting too much force. He'll be fine in a while."

Minato Namikaze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Is that all?

Shingetsu Seiun smiled and said, "Lord Hokage, I didn't come here for the Anbu's business."

Minato Namikaze: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "I want a ninja number."

"Ninja ID? What do you need that for?" Minato asked, puzzled.

Shenyue Xingyun: "It's not what I want."

"As you know, I have a girlfriend, Pakura from Sunagakure."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

Of course he knew about this. He had even complained about it to Kushina Uzumaki in private. They both knew that Shingetsu Seiun was already famous in Konoha and had had many girlfriends, but the fact that he could bring back a Jonin from another village while fighting a battle was still too eye-catching.

Shingetsu Seiun: "It's not that I want a ninja number, it's that Yekura wants a number."

"Judging from what she said, it was to take revenge on Sunagakure."

Minato Namikaze frowned slightly.

What does he take Konoha for?

The Bull-Head Ninja Village?

He wanted to refuse, but this was the first time Shenyue Xingyun had asked him for a favor, and it wasn't just a matter of working together.

Is it not a good idea to refuse outright?

After a moment's hesitation, Minato Namikaze said, "Our village has no precedent of accepting rogue ninja from other villages..."

“Not a rogue ninja.” Shingetsu Seiun quickly corrected, “Yakura is not a rogue ninja in the ordinary sense.”

"She was originally a combat hero of Sunagakure, but the higher-ups of Sunagakure abandoned her."

Minato Namikaze was about to say something more when Seiun Shinzuki followed up with another sentence.

"Lord Hokage, you're not afraid of Sunagakure, are you?"

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Ten minutes later, Shingetsu Seiun walked out of the Hokage's office, completely satisfied.

Yekura's ninja number has been determined.

For Minato Namikaze, a ninja number was just a piece of paper. He specifically stated that Pakura could stay in Konoha, but she could not accept high-level missions from Konoha.

Shenyue Nebula naturally had no objection to this.

As long as the system requirements are met, that's fine. Before coming here, he had planned that if Minato Namikaze didn't agree to number Yekura, he would try to include Yekura in some random list like the "List of Key Anomalies in the Village" or the "List of United Forces," which might also meet the system's requirement of being a "registered ninja of Konoha."

Fortunately, Minato Namikaze did not refuse.

[Ding! ~]

[Current Mission: Kidnapping Completed!]

[Quest Reward: Enchantment Trait - Noble Phantasm (Lv3)]

[Would you like to collect it immediately?]

Upon seeing the system notification, Shenyue Xingyun instinctively became alert.

Last time, he almost hurt someone because he trusted the system's reward!

I'm not afraid of hurting people now, but I still feel unsafe on the street.
