Yakushi Nonou: "Lord Danzo, I..."
"Stop talking!" Danzo suddenly stood up.
"I don't ask about the process, I only look at the result!"
"I won't give you much time. Get a foothold by Shenyue Xingyun's side as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise... you'll regret it."
Yakushi Nono felt a chill run down her spine.
She would never easily ignore Danzo's threat. However, thinking of Shingetsu Seiun's bastard behavior not long ago, she gritted her teeth secretly.
Is it really going to be...?
hateful!
She seemed to have no other choice. Unless she abandoned the orphanage and left the Land of Fire, but could she leave?
"What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to ask you to leave?" Danzo's voice came.
"Do what you have to do, no matter the cost!"
"I need results in the shortest possible time!"
...
As Yakushi Nonou emerged from the underground base, the starlight illuminating her head in the night.
The evening breeze was a bit chilly. Danzo's cold voice still seemed to echo in his ears.
'No matter the cost!'
I only care about the results!
"So, I am the price?" Yakushi Nonou murmured in the night.
She walked slowly, step by step, back to the orphanage from the root base.
The lights were still on inside the orphanage.
There were a few older children waiting for him to come back.
As she pushed open the door, the light and warmth of the room fell upon her.
"Auntie, you're back!"
"Aunt Nonou, are you cold?"
"Warm up quickly."
The children swarmed around them.
Yakushi Nonou looked at the child in front of her and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
But seeing that familiar figure was not among the children, her smile became tinged with bitterness.
The pocket is not there.
There has been no news of that sensible child who was taken away by Danzo for a long time.
Amidst the children's concerned voices, Yakushi Nonou seemed to sense a massive shadow in the sky, named Danzo, enveloping half the village and herself.
They cannot escape.
"Perhaps, I had no choice."
Thinking of Shinzuki Seiun's face, Yakushi Nonou murmured to herself.
"There was never a choice."
Chapter 280 Reencounter with Nono
...
The next day.
Just as Shingetsu Seiun arrived at the office on time and had just started drinking the hot tea brewed by Uzuki Yuhi, Hatake Kakashi came to report on his work.
Noticing that Kakashi Hatake seemed somewhat listless and had faint dark circles under his eyes, Shinzuki Seiun offered him some rare words of comfort.
"The task isn't easy, is it?"
"You still need to take care of your health; health is the most important thing."
"If you're too tired, you can go home early."
Kakashi Hatake shamefully discovered that, under the cheap comfort of Shingetsu Seiun, he was actually quite happy.
Compared to the previous backbreaking work, I'm finally starting to feel like one of our own.
"I'm fine," Kakashi Hatake said. "And the mission I was given is progressing."
Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback: "Really? So fast?"
A hint of smugness appeared in Kakashi Hatake's tired eyes: "I made a lot of preparations, and that's why we've made progress."
He then embellished his story of traveling to various places and finding powerful Jonin to customize environment scrolls, making the difficulties and setbacks almost comparable to Hashirama's conquest of the Warring States period.
Of course, the fact that he paid for six months' salary out of his own pocket was also mentioned in detail.
Shenyue Xingyun was very satisfied.
"it is good."
"very good."
"By the way, let me see what's going on with that scroll of yours."
Kakashi Hatake: "..."
"I don't think it's necessary."
“No,” Shenyue Xingyun said. “How can I let you spend so much of your own money for the mission?”
"Give me the scroll, and I'll reimburse you for the cost."
Kakashi Hatake: "(-_-)..."
Shingetsu Seiun wasn't a stingy person; he paid on the spot. And the amount was definitely more than half a year's salary for Hatake Kakashi.
But when the exquisite scroll landed on Shingetsu Seiun's desk, Kakashi Hatake felt an extreme heartache.
At that moment, he finally realized what he cared about most, compared to half a year's salary.
It's passion.
"Alright, you can go back now," Shenyue Xingyun said. "As for what I promised you, I will keep my promise when the time comes."
Kakashi Hatake is gone.
After he left, Shenyue Xingyun closed the door and opened the scroll on the desk.
He gazed at the intricate and complex spells and runes on the scroll for a moment, then reached out and pressed his hand on it.
As surging chakra poured into the scroll, it lit up with light in an instant.
Then it goes out.
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
He refused to believe it and increased the amount of chakra he poured in, but the result was still the same.
After a long pause, he came to his senses.
It turned out that his illusion resistance had reached Lv4. Ordinary illusions were completely ineffective, and he was even immune to some powerful illusions.
After figuring it out, Shenyue Xingyun's face darkened.
This is when things go wrong!
It's one thing that Kakashi wasted more than half a year's salary, but the fact that he couldn't criticize a perfectly good work of art right in front of him is really infuriating.
'System, I don't think this scroll can be considered an illusion.'
'This is just a 3D slideshow!'
'Could you turn off illusion resistance?'
The system did not respond.
Shenyue Xingyun did not believe in evil.
He is not someone who gives up easily. He persisted in making so many visits in his past life. When has he ever been stumped?
He focused his mind on the Illusion Resistance (Lv4) stat on the panel, channeling his inner energy.
Finally, the Illusion Resistance stat dimmed slightly.
A system notification popped up.
[The host has been detected to have the intention to disable the Illusion Resistance passive effect. The Illusion Resistance passive effect will be disabled for one hour.]
"Yes!" Shenyue Xingyun waved excitedly.
He always said, "Where there's a will, there's a way!"
No difficulty can defeat a pure heart that pursues art.
Looking at the scroll spread out in front of him, Shingetsu Seiun placed his hand on it again, and chakra surged into it.
Two seconds later, the light shone.
A flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and the words "The Fallen Great Name of the Cloud-Hidden Palace" appeared before them.
As Shenyue Xingyun lay back in the chair, relying on muscle memory, ready to begin enjoying the moment, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"If I'm caught looking at slides during work hours, won't I get fired?"
On second thought, I realized that I was the leader.
What's there to be afraid of!
Lie back comfortably, and before your eyes, an exquisitely realistic painting slowly unfolds...
"Tear... tear apart the number one spot in the country!~"
