As he spoke, he tossed a purple necklace through the barrier, which Uzuki Yugao immediately caught.

"So beautiful!" Her eyes lit up as she looked at the exquisite purple gemstone necklace.

"For me?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Put it on first."

Uzuki Yugao happily put on the necklace.

Looking down, I became more and more satisfied.

"Is it beautiful?" she asked, showing it to Shenyue Xingyun.

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Beautiful."

"Take this with you while you're on the battlefield. Remember, don't let anyone see it."

Uzuki Yugao snorted lightly: "I know, I won't interfere with your logistics management."

Having received the ridiculously beautiful necklace, Uzuki Yugao was finally in a good mood. Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun had no intention of giving it to her, she jumped up and down a couple more times to try and get a full view of it. After discovering that Shingetsu Seiun's barrier was still effective, she could only give up sheepishly.

She spoke to Shenyue Xingyun's desk.

"alright."

"Take your time playing."

"***, don't let me find out who you are."

"Alright, hurry up and get ready," Shen Yue Xingyun said, her face flushed.

"Okay, okay," said Uzuki Yugao, pouting as she walked out. But as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and shouted.

"Don't break my things!"

"We'll need it when we get back!"

"Crack!" A deep crack appeared on the solid wood tabletop.

Chapter 366 Xiaochun Comes to the Door

Shen Yue Xingyun's face turned bright red.

Seeing this scene, Uzuki Yugao, standing at the door, chuckled charmingly, "Hmm, she does look like she has a cold."

"Take care and get some rest!"

Shen Yue Xingyun's cheeks twitched, and with a wave of her hand, the door slammed shut with a "bang".

Then, suffering from a cold, he suddenly tilted his head back.

"Cough cough!! Cough cough cough!!~!~"

……

The Hokage's office was filled with smoke.

There were only four people in the room: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane. None of them looked too good.

News from the front lines: Konoha is suffering repeated defeats in the face of Iwagakure's attacks.

Although the casualties were not too great thanks to the cooperation of Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikaku, the disadvantage was very obvious.

"Hiruzen, you make a decision." Koharu Utatane was the first to speak, mainly because the smell of smoke in the room was too strong, and she couldn't stand being silent any longer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer and continued smoking his pipe.

Koharu Utatane: "We can say that we don't need much troop support, but we need to replace the ninja who is in charge."

"Hisashi is not up to the task."

Mitokado also said, "That's right."

"It's still too much of a stretch for Hizashi to be able to hold down a position."

"The gap is too big when facing the loess where Iwagakure is located."

Hyuga Hizashi, while an excellent Jonin in Konoha, possessed considerable strength thanks to the Byakugan of the Hyuga branch family. However, on the battlefield, his Gentle Fist technique was adequate against ordinary Jonin, but it proved insufficient against Iwagakure's Yotsuchi.

Any single large-scale ninjutsu could exceed the maximum coverage of Gentle Fist, making it impossible to fight. The two had briefly met on the front lines, but under the massive ninjutsu of the Yellow Earth, Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hizashi were both helpless and sent back for help.

“I understand the reasoning,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said. “The key question is, who should we choose?”

He looked at Mitokado Homura: "Is it you?" Then he looked at his old friend Danzo: "Still you?"

The two men looked grave and did not answer.

Mitokado Homura looked embarrassed; he knew his strength was far inferior. Danzo's eyes flickered as if he was somewhat tempted, but his lips moved and he ultimately remained silent.

He could certainly do a good job as Hokage, but he felt that putting him on the front lines to face the enemy's generals was a serious matter that required careful consideration.

Mitokado Homura sighed, "It's a pity that Jiraiya and Tsunade aren't here."

“If even one person were still in the village, there wouldn’t be a shortage of people to use, allowing Iwagakure to be so arrogant.”

Not only Tsunade, but also Jiraiya were not in the village.

Looking back a few years ago, the village had the famous White Fang of Konoha, the Legendary Sannin, and the up-and-coming Minato Namikaze. The Uchiha clan's legacy was still intact.

However, over the past few years, the fighting strength of Konoha's high command has declined rapidly.

Mu Ye Bai Ya committed suicide.

Jiraiya and Tsunade both left the country.

Minato and Kushina died, Orochimaru defected, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was still young and unable to take care of himself, and the Uchiha clan was reduced to only a handful of members.

The once glorious Konoha is now showing signs of decline.

How many ninjas in the entire village now have the ability to govern and command a region?

We can't really let old guys like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo play, can we?

Mitokado Homura: "How about... we send Shinzuki Seiun instead?"

As he spoke, he observed his old friend's reaction. When he saw the latter's eyes flicker but he showed no intention of speaking, he understood what was going on.

"With his strength, he is far superior to Hyuga Hizashi."

“Not bad.” Koharu Utatane also said, “Although they are a bit younger, with Shikaku’s help, dealing with Iwagakure shouldn’t be a problem.”

Danzo quietly observed Hiruzen Sarutobi, and seeing that the latter remained unmoved, he chuckled inwardly and said, "I also think it's feasible."

"It's reasonable for whoever is capable to take the position."

"Furthermore, during the Third Shinobi World War, Shingetsu Seiun had contact with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Hyuga clan, and they had a good relationship. If we send him, at least we won't have to worry about his cooperation."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked up at Danzo.

"No need to say that."

"Since you think he's suitable, you can be the one to relay the order for him to provide support."

Danzo's face immediately stiffened.

He and Shenyue Xingyun had already crossed paths several times. Their relationship might not be described as antagonistic, but it was definitely far from harmonious. If he were to go, the chances of them fighting were probably much higher.

"I'll go," said Xiaochun, who was switching dorms.

"The old lady is quite old, he should sell me two bowls of noodles."

Mitokado Yan also spoke up, "I'll go with you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not object this time.

After the meeting, Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu planned to go directly to the door.

As they walked, Mitokado Homura said, "Are we just going to go like this? Don't we need to make any preparations?"

Koharu, who turns to the dormitory: "It's enough that the two of us old guys came to your door on our own initiative. Do we have to give you advance notice like we're meeting a famous person?"

Mitokado Emi: "I'm worried about what will happen if I'm not home."

"Besides, this was a decision we made unilaterally, and we don't know what Shenyue Xingyun's opinion is yet."

Xiaochun, who switched dorm rooms: "What else can I do besides agree to him?"

"If Tsunade and Jiraiya hadn't been around, how could someone his age have become the battlefield commander-in-chief?"

"He should be overjoyed to receive such an honor."

Mitokado Yan thought about it and realized that what the other party said made some sense.

At their age, they had just become the Hokage's bodyguards, while Shingetsu Seiun was already capable of taking over as the battlefield commander.

A few minutes later, when they arrived at the door of the Shingetsu family's house, they were dumbfounded.

The gate was locked.

After making inquiries from various sources, it was discovered that Shenyue Xingyun had gone out with her subordinates.

"This is outrageous!"

Xiaochun, who had made a wasted trip, was furious: "How could you leave the village without prior notice!"

Mitokado Yan looked at her helplessly and said, "He is the captain of the ANBU."

"In principle, ninjas of this level do not need to report temporary field missions."

"Let's go back first and talk about it when he gets back."

Xiaochun from the dorm: "The battlefield situation is urgent. How much risk will be increased if we delay for even one day?!"

Mitokado Hō: "What's the use of telling me? I don't know where to find him. Just wait, I'll have someone keep an eye on him."

Unable to change dorm rooms, Xiaochun could only angrily go home alone.

They waited for three days.

Three days later, as soon as Shingetsu Seiun returned with Uzuki Yuhi, the waiting ninjas immediately spread the news, and Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura got up and came over.

"Oh, so it's the two advisors."

Shenyue Xingyun opened the door warmly and asked, "What important matter has brought you two here in person?"
