Shamelessly plagiarizing Hiruzen Sarutobi's lines, Shinzuki Seiun, with the help of Mitarashi Anko, fought his way out of the encirclement. As for Shinzuki Izumo... well, that's enough.

I believe the other person will understand how difficult it is to be an older brother.

"Finally, I've graduated." Stepping out of the auditorium, Mitarashi Anko breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and said, "Thank you so much for coming to my graduation ceremony today."

Uzuki Yugao quickly turned her head away.

Shingetsu Seiun laughed and said, "By the way, I also had to come and see Izumo's graduation."

Mitarashi Anko: "Anyway, I'm very happy."

"Come on, Miss Red Bean is treating today. What would you like to eat?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "Is this place hard to find today?"

When freshmen graduate, they will definitely have a get-together. Not only is it hard to find a place, but even if you do find one, it can easily attract a crowd.

Mitarashi Anko thought about it and agreed.

"What should I do?"

"Are we going on a picnic? I don't know how to do that."

Yugao Uzuki, who was standing nearby, turned around and suggested, "How about we go to my house?"

“My sister isn’t home today, so we can make it ourselves at home.”

"Make it myself?" Mitarashi Anko frowned in thought.

It's not that it's impossible. It's just that I don't know how to do it myself, so I guess I'll have to ask Uzuki Yugao to do it.

Could this young lady be trying to show off her cooking skills?

No, no.

Uzuki Yugao is her best friend, she shouldn't have such thoughts.

"Ok."

"Then let's have a meal at your house."

The three of them traveled together.

Uzuki Yugao's house is about the same size as Shingetsu Seiun's previous house, and it is also a detached house with a courtyard.

Stepping into the room, the decor was quite cozy, and there was a familiar fragrance inside.

"Please make yourself at home," Uzuki Yugao said. "I'll go check what ingredients are left in the fridge."

A moment later, her voice came from the kitchen: "There's still plenty of meat, but not enough vegetables."

"Red Beans, how about... never mind, I'll just go out and buy some."

Mitarashi Anko was quite pleased to hear this. However, this was Uzuki Yugao's home, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her and Kamitsuki Seiun, two outsiders, to be here.

So he offered, "Never mind, I'll go buy it."

"Huh?" Uzuki Yugao looked troubled. "Wouldn't it be a little awkward for me to be with him?"

What should I say?

Mitarashi Anko: "What's so embarrassing about it? This is your house; it's embarrassing for us when you're not here."

"Let's chat casually, I'll be right back."

With that, he rushed out the door.

Only Shinzuki Seiun and Uzuki Yugao remained in the room.

Three seconds later, Shenyue Xingyun spoke first: "Vegetables...are you really not enough?"

“Of course,” said Uzuki Yugao. “How could I possibly lie to someone?”

Shenyue Xingyun thought to himself: That's good.

There's still some semblance of friendship between them.

Uzuki Yugao leaned closer and said, "But since Anko isn't here, we're just idling around anyway..."

Shenyue Nebula: ...Yes, but not many.

Twenty minutes later.

When Mitarashi Anko returned with a bag full of vegetables, Kamitsuki Seiun was sitting on the sofa peeling an apple, while Uzuki Yugao was busy in the kitchen.

Carrying the groceries into the kitchen, I noticed that Uzuki Yugao's face was flushed.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Uzuki Yugao: "No." "The fire was too big just now, and the kitchen was too hot. I just opened the window for a while and it's fine now."

Mitarashi Anko had no doubts.

They called upon Shinzuki Seiun, and the three of them worked together to quickly prepare a meal. Mitarashi Akane, carrying a bottle of soda, said, "Here you go."

"Cheers to the ninja life that's about to begin!"

"Cheers" *2.

"Ton ton ton~"

"Ah~ That feels great!"

Setting down her soda, Mitarashi Anko looked at Shinzuki Seiun and sighed.

"Time seems to fly by."

"We used to go to school together, but now I've just graduated and you're already an elite Jonin."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Keep going, you can do it too if you work hard."

Mitarashi Anko: "The person I lied to cheated on me."

Shenyue Xingyun: "...Never mind what I said."

Mitarashi Anko: "Tch~"

Chapter 266 Graduation Gift

"By the way, Nebula, there's something I need to ask you."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Why are you being so polite? Just ask."

Mitarashi Anko: "Do you take on apprentices?"

Shenyue Xingyun decisively shook her head: "I won't accept it."

"Absolutely not."

Mitarashi Anko looked immediately disappointed: "Why?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "There's no reason why."

"Besides, you're my friend, and friends don't talk about this."

Mitarashi Anko: "I didn't say it was me?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "I know even if you don't say it."

The moment Mitarashi Anko opened her mouth, he knew what kind of nonsense she was going to spout.

Becoming an apprentice?

No way.

He knew very well that taking on apprentices in Konoha was an extremely dangerous job. The rewards were low, and the risks were high.

If we can avoid accepting them, we will resolutely refuse to accept them.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Mitarashi Anko pouted. "Boring~"

"Looks like I should listen to my dad and let him find me a tutor."

"Let's not talk about that, let's eat. Xiyan, I didn't realize you were such a good cook!"

"From now on, Jifeng will be blessed."

Uzuki Yugao chuckled lightly: "What does it have to do with him?"

Mitarashi Anko: "Doesn't he like you?"

Uzuki Yugao said casually, "Azuki, liking someone isn't a one-person thing."

"This depends on fate; if the fate isn't right, you can't force it."

...

"Get some rest, we're leaving now." Two hours later, Mitarashi Anko and Kamitsuki Seiun left Uzuki Yugao's house.

The two traveled together, and Mitarashi Anko made small talk.

"I didn't expect Xiyan to be such a good cook, haha."

Shenyue Nebula responded, "Indeed."

Mitarashi Anko: "You really owe a debt of gratitude to me today."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

"To express my gratitude, this is my graduation gift to you," said Shinzuki Seiun, handing a box to Mitarashi Anko.

"Wow~" Mitarashi Anko's eyes lit up with surprise: "So much effort?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "You gave me a gift when I graduated, how could I forget it when you graduate?"

Mitarashi Anko was delighted to hear this. She eagerly opened the box, inside which was a short sword adorned with exquisite patterns.

Shenyue Xingyun: "There's a mechanism at the handle, perfect for hiding explosive tags. Of course, you can also put in poison or something if you want."

Mitarashi Anko carefully examined the short sword and said, "This must be very expensive, right?"

"It's much more valuable than the one I gave you back then."

Shenyue Xingyun laughed and said, "We don't talk about this between friends."
