A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the shy Jingyin and said, "Alright, that's enough."
"Wait for my good news then."
……
"...This month's mission completion rate is 100%. Next, the Anbu combat team will continue its spirit of hard work and perseverance, stick to its post, and continue to shine for the village... no, to radiate warmth." In the Hokage's office, Shingetsu Seiun gave a brief report on the month's work to Namikaze Minato.
The report was written by Maoyue Xiyang, and the work was done by the squad leader and team members. All he had to do was read the report aloud without making mistakes. If he made a mistake... he would just read it again.
In the past, after listening to Shingetsu Seiun's pointless report, Namikaze Minato would always offer him a few words of encouragement, but today he was absent-minded.
Looking at the stack of documents in front of him, he couldn't hide the weariness on his face.
"Lord Hokage, what's wrong?"
"Too much work pressure?"
Shenyue Xingyun inquired curiously.
"Actually, there's no need to rush work; take your time."
"Don't the two consultants really enjoy helping out? Just pick some suitable tasks for them to do."
Minato Namikaze snapped out of his daze and, faced with Seiun Shingetsu's reassurance, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"It's not a work-related matter, it's a teacher's matter."
"The teacher is leaving the village to find the chosen one."
At this point, Minato Namikaze felt somewhat frustrated.
It's unclear whether it's because Jiraiya was an important fighting force for the village, or partly because of his sense of loss.
When Jiraiya first took him as his disciple, he kept talking about "the child of destiny, the child of destiny." Now that he's become Hokage, Jiraiya was summoned by the dreamy toad of Mount Myōboku, and he's started talking about searching for the child of destiny again.
So, is this the end of my life?
Love can fade, right?
"Besides that, Tsunade will also be leaving." Minato Namikaze said with a bitter expression.
With two of the three legendary Sannin gone, the village's high-level combat power was significantly weakened. Minato Namikaze felt immense pressure.
He was already frequently complained about by Kushina Uzumaki because of his work, and if the work pressure were even greater, he wouldn't even have time to go home.
He looked at the Divine Moon Nebula beside him and pleaded, "Nebula."
"There will likely be more work done by the covert operations team in the future."
"You must help me."
Shingetsu Nebula: "?"
Suddenly, the pressure was on his head. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at the troubled Minato Namikaze, he felt a little embarrassed to speak up.
[Ding! ~]
[Binding target found: Kushina Uzumaki.]
【Bind on?】
Shenyue Xingyun was stunned for a moment.
Then, he looked around.
Where is she? Where is Kushina Uzumaki? System, are you blind?
Just as Minato Namikaze was looking around with a puzzled expression, a notification popped up in front of Shingetsu Seiun's eyes again.
【Bind on?】
Chapter 284 Returning Home (Minato)
'...binding.'
[Binding successful!]
[Bound to: Kushina Uzumaki (Instance - Minato Namikaze)]
[New Mission Issued: Return Home Minato (Pregnant women need the company of their families even more. Please help Kushina Uzumaki so that Minato Namikaze can return home directly after get off work using the Flying Thunder God Technique 10 times or more)]
[Task Time Limit: 8 months]
[Quest Rewards (Choose one): 1. Random Sealing Technique (Lv4); 2. Title - Blood Red Pepper; 3. Title - Container.]
After seeing the mission details, Shenyue Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
It's a very positive and uplifting task.
It's just a matter of letting Minato Namikaze go home a few more times. Although it's somewhat difficult, at least it won't be too extreme.
"Nebula, what are you looking for?" Minato Namikaze asked, puzzled.
He saw Shenyue Xingyun first look around inexplicably, and then remain motionless.
Shenyue Xingyun came to her senses.
"No. It's nothing."
Minato Namikaze: "What about the matter I just mentioned about giving the Anbu more responsibilities..."
Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "No problem."
"The secret service will definitely complete the mission brilliantly."
Speaking of which, if Minato's work pressure were less, he could probably go home more often... right?
As for the extra workload... let's just leave it to the people below.
three days later.
When Shingetsu Nebula was planning to go back to work from home early, she encountered Shizune.
The other person was clearly waiting for him, and hurriedly stepped forward when he arrived.
"Nebula...Nebula Jonin."
Seeing that it was silent, Shenyue Xingyun said kindly, "Just call me Xingyun. We were classmates in the same year."
Silently lowered her head and hummed in agreement.
They were originally senior students, but two years later they became classmates.
"Nebula... Do you have time now? Lady Tsunade needs you to come over."
"Tsunade?" Shingetsu Seiun asked, puzzled. "What does she want with me?"
"I...I don't know either." Shizune shook her head vigorously, her face turning even redder. Although Shingetsu Nebula found it a bit strange, Shizune's personality had always been quiet and quirky, so he didn't think much of it.
"You'll see when you get there," said Shizune.
“Alright then,” said Shingetsu Seiun. “Where is Lady Tsunade? Take me there.”
It's still early. If we go early and come back early, we can still make it to dinner prepared by Yekura.
The largest izakaya in Konoha.
In a private room on the second floor, Tsunade was enjoying her drink alone.
Because the flavor is stronger than other places, she often comes here, and at this moment she is enjoying her drink alone.
"Dong dong."
"Lady Tsunade, the Jonin from Nebula has arrived."
Hearing the voice outside the door, Tsunade slightly restrained her unruly demeanor and then said, "Come in."
The door opened to both sides, and after Shen Yuexingyun entered, Jingyin did not follow. Instead, she quietly closed the door and took her leave.
Only two people remained in the room.
"Sit down," Tsunade said, pouring herself another cup of sake.
Shingetsu Seiun sat down opposite Tsunade, watching her quietly drink. He didn't speak either. After a moment, Tsunade put down her cup and said, "Do you know why I came to find you?"
Shenyue Xingyun shook his head.
Tsunade: "I'm leaving."
"Minato specifically begged me to stay in Konoha, but I did not agree."
"However... I can leave behind my most prized technique—the Yin Seal."
Shenyue Xingyun's expression shifted.
Yin seal.
Even in this ninja world, it is a unique ninjutsu. In Shingetsu Seiun's view, the Yin Seal's ability to store chakra is secondary; when Tsunade uses Yin Seal Release, the miraculous power of creation and regeneration is the most powerful aspect of the Yin Seal.
Even he would be tempted by such methods.
And now, Tsunade has summoned him here, specifically mentioning this matter. Could it be...? No. He shouldn't get his hopes up too high.
Shingetsu Seiun composed herself slightly and asked, "What does Lady Tsunade mean...? I don't understand."
Tsunade chuckled softly.
"No need to play dumb."
"Since I called you here, I presume you already understand why."
"I think... you are more suitable to inherit the Yin Seal."
Shenyue Xingyun tried her best to control herself from being too happy.
Tsunade: "But don't be too happy yet."
"You are not the only candidate to inherit the Yin Seal."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Who else?"
Tsunade: "Kakashi, and that guy Obito Uchiha."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Should we pass the Yin Seal to three people?"
