This is so...so cool!

No wonder they said there was enough time.

The Golden-Winged Black Eagle soared into the sky, watching the clouds draw ever closer and the ground recede into the distance. The ninjas gripped the Golden-Winged Black Eagle's feathers tightly, their feet imbued with chakra, and they gained a new understanding of the power of the Divine Moon Nebula.

On the eagle's back, Sarutobi Asuma looked around at his surroundings, felt the hurricane whistling past his ears, and then looked at the towering Shingetsu Nebula ahead. He couldn't help but think to himself: **!

He got away with it again.

At that moment, a thought involuntarily surfaced in Sarutobi Asuma's mind: 'The summoning contracts of the Enma clan don't seem so appealing anymore.'

'This guy... I wonder how much effort it will take to catch up with him~'

Compared to traveling on foot, the Golden-Winged Black Eagle's speed is extremely fast. Even considering the strength of the ninjas, and despite Shen Yue Xingyun having the Golden-Winged Black Eagle slow down, it is still ridiculously fast.

What would normally be a journey that takes a day and a night can be completed in just a few hours thanks to the speed of the Golden-Winged Black Eagle.

Before nightfall, the capital city was already in sight.

"Asuma, the capital is up ahead, right?" In the ninja world, even the capital of a daimyo is not considered large for Shingetsu Seiun, who has been reborn. He has never been here before and asked Sarutobi Asuma uncertainly.

The latter looked at the city with its staggered buildings ahead and nodded.

"Correct."

"This is the capital."

Receiving a response, Shenyue Xingyun controlled the Golden-Winged Black Eagle to slowly descend.

Since it was the capital of a great empire, to avoid trouble, the group stopped outside the city, released the Golden-Winged Black Eagle from its spiritual connection, and then walked the last leg of the journey.

After a series of procedures and notifications, Shingetsu Seiun finally entered the daimyo's residence and met the legendary daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Shingetsu Nebula, right?" Inside the spacious and magnificent hall, the daimyo, seated high above, looked down at Shingetsu Nebula, whose figure stood upright, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.

As a daimyo, he had heard of Shingetsu Seiun's name from the Third and Fourth Hokage. The other party was a young ninja who had made outstanding contributions in the Third Shinobi World War, not only possessing excellent strength but also having a particularly striking appearance.

Rumors circulated that the other party's appearance was even more stunning than his strength. The daimyo had initially harbored some doubts, but upon seeing the real person, his suspicions were immediately dispelled.

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the Divine Moon Nebula below, he was filled with emotion.

'Such an image, let alone Konoha, you probably can't find another like it among the Five Great Nations.'

Looking around, the courtiers looked surprised, while the female attendants' eyes shone brightly. Some of the female attendants noticed the daimyo's gaze and quickly lowered their heads, while others didn't even notice it.

"Hehe~" Daming chuckled and said, "As expected, your reputation is well-deserved."

"As expected of the Leaf Village's Demon Star."

"You flatter me, sir," Shen Yue Xingyun said, maintaining the proper formalities.

Daimyo: "Did Minato tell you the details of the mission?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "No, the Hokage only instructed that we must do our best to complete this mission."

Da Ming nodded slightly.

"During this time, I will travel around various regions of the Land of Fire and then meet with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

"The journey will take about a month, and you will travel with my Guardian Ninja Guard."

Upon hearing this, Shenyue Xingyun pondered silently.

One month.

Kushina Uzumaki's due date should be in about a month and a half. If nothing unexpected happens, she should still be able to go back and see baby Naruto with Mikoto Uchiha.

He said, "I will obey your orders, sir."

That evening, Shingetsu Seiun and his group rested on the outskirts of the Daimyo's residence. As the leader of Konoha and a renowned elite Jonin, the Daimyo thoughtfully arranged servants for him.

Two beautiful waitresses.

Judging from the two people's respectful and enthusiastic attitude, the waitress's service scope was quite extensive.

Shen Yuexingyun righteously refused! It had nothing to do with Yuhi Kurenai being by his side; it was simply because he was a pure and outstanding young man who had transcended base desires.

The two waitresses who were rejected seemed very disappointed as they left. One of them even muttered to her companion, her voice full of dejection.

"Honestly, I'm so unwilling to accept this."

"It's such a waste of the opportunity I fought so hard for."

"Ah~~"

Because it was at the daimyo's residence, Kurenai Yuhi did not make a comeback this time. The next morning, after the group had made preparations and waited for a long time, they finally met up with the guardian ninja and escorted the daimyo's carriage to set off and begin their mission.

The mission was rather boring overall because there were too many people, and the Konoha ninjas were all a bit reserved. Kurenai Yuhi didn't want to keep bothering him.

The emperor's carriage traveled from place to place, and wherever it arrived, local officials would give it a grand welcome, staging a pointless drama of harmonious relations between the emperor and his ministers, and a prosperous and powerful nation.

As the days went by, the Konoha ninjas became less reserved and would occasionally whisper with the Daimyo's guardian ninjas. Sarutobi Asuma, in particular, perhaps because of his appearance and personality, quickly became familiar with the guardian ninjas.

After becoming close friends, they often discussed ninjutsu and shared their experiences, and even spent less time with Kurenai Yuhi.

Nearly a month had passed in the blink of an eye. The daimyo had inspected the important towns of the Land of Fire. On this day, the daimyo's attendant suddenly summoned Shinzuki Seiun and the other guardian ninjas with a serious expression.

"Next, the Daimyo will meet with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning to discuss important matters between the two countries and border policies. All of you must be careful."

"You must be careful in your words and actions. If, by any chance... the daimyo gives any instructions, you must not make any mistakes."

Did you hear that?

Chapter 320 The Reputation of the Divine Moon Nebula

The courtier's expression was very serious. After everyone agreed, he still gave some more instructions before leaving.

After he left, the Konoha ninjas and the guardian ninjas spoke privately, and through their conversation, Shingetsu Seiun understood why the retainer was so serious.

Although the Land of Fire is one of the strongest nations among the Five Great Nations, the Land of Lightning is even stronger, and the Hidden Cloud Village is no less powerful than the Hidden Leaf Village.

After all, besides the famous AB combination, the strength of Kumogakure is also terrifying. In Shingetsu Seiun's memory, Kumogakure also has secret realms and caves like the True Waterfall, and there are many outstanding elite Jonin and Jonin.

Of course, this is now. If we follow Shingetsu Seiun's original memories, it won't be long before the Fourth Hokage dies, the Sannin leave, and Konoha's overall strength will decline significantly. At that time, Kumogakure will be stronger than Konoha.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has always maintained a tough stance, so the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will be more nervous when the two Daimyo meet.

Shenyue Xingyun didn't seem to care much about this.

Since this was, after all, a meeting between daimyo, in the ninja world, it was common for lower-ranking ninja villages to fight to the death, but daimyo rarely engaged in violent conflicts. Even if such conflicts occasionally occurred, they were always within a controllable range.

With his current strength, he won't be taken too seriously by anyone except for opponents of AB's caliber.

As the group arrived at the border of the Land of Lightning, the atmosphere became tense. Attendants frequently moved around, either repeating etiquette or giving instructions in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

After a complicated process, the two daimyo finally met formally.

The two sides chose a scenic spot with clear waters and lush mountains. The two daimyo casually chatted about the affairs of their respective countries, and Shingetsu Seiun met the daimyo of the Land of Lightning for the first time.

Overall, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning is indeed superior to the daimyo of the Land of Fire in both physique and aura. Unlike the daimyo of the Land of Fire, whose face is relatively benign, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning has much sharper and more rugged features.

Apart from the pretty female attendant behind him, the rest of the guards and attendants were all burly and had menacing faces.

Even though the numbers are roughly the same, when they stand in a row, it feels like there are many more people than those from the Land of Fire.

His eyes were arrogant and unrestrained.

Although the guards wouldn't look at the daimyo, as that would be impolite, their provocative and disdainful gazes were blatantly directed at the Fire Country's guards.

"These guys... why do they all act like I owe them money?"

"Yes."

"Won't a fight break out in a bit?"

"I don't think so. A meeting between daimyo, how could it possibly turn into a fight?"

"Of course we won't suddenly start fighting, I meant 'sparring'. Were we going to have to make a move?"

"Hmm... given the rumors about the daimyo of the Land of Lightning's style... it's not impossible~"

The guards from Konoha immediately tensed up.

Each of them was thinking about how to deal with these musclemen from the Land of Lightning if they really had to take action later.

Kurenai was also a little uneasy. She quietly leaned closer to Shingetsu Seiun and whispered, "Won't they really make a move later?"

Shingetsu Seiun was checking the lottery chances displayed on the perfect attendance lottery machine. He wasn't particularly interested in meeting the daimyo, so he didn't step forward. Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's question, he nonchalantly replied, "Never mind."

"There are so many people, it's not like it'll be their turn to make a move. Besides, I'm here."

Hearing this, Kurenai thought it made sense and felt relieved. Noticing the gazes of the Fire Country's attendants sweeping across the room, she quickly stood still and remained silent.

But not long after, she moved closer to Shenyue Xingyun again.

"Nebula, Nebula," she said, tugging at Shingetsu Nebula's sleeve.

"What's wrong now?" Shen Yue Xingyun had just used up her lottery chances, and because the rewards were mediocre, she wasn't in a good mood.

Kurenai Yuhi: "Those people from the Land of Lightning... are watching me."

Shenyue Xingyun frowned slightly.

Kurenai Yuhi wasn't a troublesome girl, so for her to say something like that meant the other person's gaze had made her uncomfortable.

He raised his head, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on the group from the Land of Lightning. The next second, his brows furrowed even more.

Among the guards of the Land of Lightning, all the burly men were now looking at Kurenai Yuhi.

As a rare female ninja among the guards, it's normal for her to attract some attention, but too many people were looking at her, and their gazes were quite impolite. Some were contemptuous and disdainful, while others had wicked smiles on their faces.

A smile—that's very impolite.

Shenyue Xingyun's expression turned cold.

He then took two steps forward and moved to the front of the line.

He gripped his hand at his side, and a gleaming longsword suddenly appeared in his grasp, which he used to prop himself up on the ground.

The next second, chakra surged through his body, and a powerful aura swept over the Raikage's guards.

A sudden commotion erupted within the Land of Lightning's guard.

They felt a powerful pressure suddenly envelop them, and their ninja instincts made them quickly look at Shingetsu Seiun, a great fear rising in their hearts at the same time.

The fear of facing deadly danger.
