“Of course there is.” Mitarashi Anko looked unhappy.

Uzuki Yugao gave an awkward smile. "Um... no, that's not it."

"I've been listening to you the whole time."

"Really?" Mitarashi Anko asked with a disbelieving look, "Then what was I saying just now?"

Maoyue Xiyan: "..."

Could you give me a hint?

Mitarashi Anko snorted lightly: "I knew you weren't listening at all."

Uzuki Yugao smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Azuki."

"I'm just too tired lately, and the pressure of cultivation is a bit too much."

Mitarashi Anko: "Really?"

Maoyue Xiyan: "It's absolutely true."

fake.

In fact, lately she has been preoccupied with how to avoid her sister discovering her secret communication with Shingetsu Nebula.

Unlike her foolish best friend, her older sister, Uzuki Yuhi, is a very intelligent woman. Having been suppressed since childhood, she deeply understands how difficult the other party is to deal with.

After graduation, her older sister, Uzuki Yuhi, seemed to be working in a very secretive way, and she was coming home less and less, but the pressure on her only increased. Every time she stood in front of the other person, she felt like she was being seen through.

Therefore, in order to prevent the other party from discovering her actions, she had to be extremely careful and devise a meticulous plan to deal with Uzuki Ushio's control.

Normally, best friends are the perfect confidants for these girls to confide in, and they might even help cover for them. But Mitarashi Anko… obviously not.

"Red Bean, what were you just saying?"

Mitarashi Anko rolled her eyes: "I was talking about finding the teacher."

Are you planning to talk to a teacher?

Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao shook her head: "I have no such plans."

"I only need to practice the swordsmanship passed down in my family."

Mitarashi Anko said, "I've gone to find my teacher."

Uzuki Yugao asked curiously, "Who is it? Is it powerful?"

Mitarashi Anko looked around and, finding no one paying attention, whispered to Uzuki Yugao, "Orochimaru."

Uzuki Yugao's eyes widened slightly.

"Really?"

Mitarashi Anko nodded: "My family used their connections."

"But what can I do? I'm naturally gifted and have excellent grades." He said this with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Uzuki Yugao did not refute.

Anko Mitarashi's grades were indeed impressive, even surpassing those of Orochimaru. Given the power of the Mitarashi family, appointing Orochimaru as her teacher, while somewhat surprising, was also reasonable.

Mitarashi Anko said confidently, "Once I learn my skills from Orochimaru, one day I will be able to catch up with that guy, Nebula."

"I'll definitely make him look at me in a new light then."

Uzuki Yugao chimed in, "Are you sure Lord Orochimaru is stronger than...Senior Seiun?"

“Of course!” Mitarashi Anko answered without hesitation.

"Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin~"

"When he became famous, Nebula was still swimming."

In the minds of many ninjas, the legendary Sannin of Konoha are undoubtedly powerful enough to be considered worthy successors to the Kage title. Ordinary elite Jonin are far inferior in strength.

While Shingetsu Seiun is somewhat special—not only is he an elite Jonin, but he also has his own prestigious title—he is far too young. In everyone's mind, the gap between him and the Legendary Sannin is still significant.

"Xi Yan, you should do your best too!"

"If Orochimaru becomes my teacher, I'll definitely improve very quickly. Don't fall too far behind me then."

Uzuki Yugao smiled gently: "Don't worry."

"You have Orochimaru as your teacher, and I have someone to teach me swordsmanship. Let's see who can become a Jonin first."

"Alright!" Mitarashi Anko held up the three-colored dumplings: "Let's have a contest to see who can become a Jonin first!"

After parting ways with Mitarashi Anko, Uzuki Yugao returned home.

The setting sun in the month of Mao (卯月) is gone.

In the empty room, Uzuki Yugao was deep in thought.

How can I prevent my sister from finding out?

Coming back from a date late at night, as usual, is definitely not going to work. Anyone with a brain knows what she's been up to.

Therefore, you can only choose a time when the other person is not at home.

But the other party only works during the day, and I also have to perform tasks during the day.

Should I ask the Jonin in charge of the team for leave?

After thinking about it, Uzuki Yugao felt that this was also a good idea. Anyway, a newly graduated genin wouldn't be undertaking any important missions, or she could finish them early and end her date with Kamizuki Seiun before her older sister, Uzuki Yuhi, returned home.

After making up her mind, Uzuki Yugao was still uneasy. She returned to her bedroom, took out paper and pen from her small desk, and began to write and draw.

She gradually recalled the knowledge about infiltration and concealment that her teachers had taught her during her time at the ninja academy. Occasionally, she would look through the materials, and her notes on paper grew longer and longer.

She wanted to perfect her 'secret dating plan'.

Intelligence studies, cryptography, advanced infiltration techniques... With unprecedented dedication, she recalled all the knowledge she had learned and planned to put it into practice.

As the plan became more and more complete, Yugao Uzuki couldn't help but smile.

Her murmurs echoed in the bedroom.

"Sister, oh sister."

"It's not that your sister is disobedient, it's just that you don't understand how good he is."

"You can focus on your work; let me bear the pain of love alone."

……

What she didn't know was that Uzuki Yuhi wasn't unaware of the good qualities of men.

She understands very well.

She knows far more than Uzuki Yugao.

Just as Uzuki Yugao was at home perfecting her date plan using all her knowledge, in the Konoha Anbu, in the captain's office...

The sturdy, large desk was a mess.

All sorts of documents were scattered everywhere.

Maoyue Xiyang slumped on the table, a cigarette dangling from his mouth. White smoke billowed from one end, only to be drawn into his lips just as it was about to dissipate.

She kept smoking because of the overwhelming work pressure.

Shenyue Xingyun took the smoke away.

That's all for today.

After all, smoking is harmful to health.

The setting sun in the month of Maoyue rolled its eyes at him, as if to say: Thank you.

Closing her eyes and ignoring the other person, the setting sun in the month of Maoyue soothed the fatigue from work.

Suddenly, I recalled my conversation with Uzuki Yugao not long ago.

'Is it too much to separate Xiyan from him?' This thought crossed her mind.

After all, as a close comrade-in-arms of Shenyue Nebula, I am very clear about Shenyue Nebula's charm.

In terms of appearance, I've never encountered another person of this caliber in the entire ninja world.

His personality seems pretty good, especially towards his own people.

They work very hard and diligently, often neglecting their health.

Not to mention, he also has a pair of magical hands.

Originally intending to forget the other person once she returned to Konoha, she has now become the other person's 24/7 secretary, and now she is asking her sister to break up with the other person, which sounds a bit excessive.

If you were Uzuki Yugao, how would you feel after learning the truth?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Uzuki Yuhi felt a tremor in his heart before shaking his head.

'Do not! '

That's not how it works!

'Happiness is fleeting; a ninja shouldn't be so narrow-minded.'

'I'm the older sister, how could I harm my own younger sister?'

'She deserves a better life, a pure and simple love. As for Shenyue Xingyun… she's nothing but a bitter pill to swallow, like a thirst-quenching drink for an infant.'

'I never planned to get married anyway, so I'll bear this suffering alone.'

Chapter 269 Enrollment

"Brother Nebula, won't you come and take me to school?" On the streets of Konoha, Itachi Uchiha looked up and asked.

As Shenyue Xingyun held the other person's hand and hurried along, she looked down and said, "No."

Why do you ask that?

Uchiha Itachi: "...I was just asking casually."

"Brother Xingyun, I want to eat three-colored dumplings."

"Wait."
