Onoki: "!!..."

Looking into Kuroto's bright, expectant eyes, Ohnoki felt a strong sense of lingering fear.

The image of Shen Yuexingyun's alluring face flashed through his mind, and he shivered.

"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you cold?" Heitu asked with concern.

Onoki: "It's a bit cold out there, but it's okay, we'll be fine once we get home."

As he spoke, Onoki had already made up his mind.

From now on, we must restrain the ninjas and never have any further conflicts with Konoha. They should also stay far away from Konoha people whenever they see them.

He never wanted to see the Divine Moon Nebula again.

I never want to!

...

Ohnoki is gone.

The Konoha camp became a sea of ​​cheers. Jonin and Genin alike, except for a few ninjas on duty, relaxed. People lit campfires, cooked food, and enjoyed a peace and joy they hadn't experienced in days.

It wasn't that they were careless; rather, Onoki's retreat was very thorough.

After agreeing to a ceasefire, the Iwagakure forces began their retreat without any delay. The scouting ninjas reported that the Iwagakure camp had been dismantled and all their troops were withdrawing back to the village.

Onoki made it very clear that he did not intend to continue the war, which allowed the Konoha ninjas to truly relax.

Under the cover of night, the campfires blazed brightly as the ninjas gathered for a feast, recounting the arduous battles of the past few days. Of course, the main topic of conversation was still about Shingetsu Seiun.

"I declare that from today onwards, Lord Nebula is my number one idol!" A female ninja, slightly intoxicated, announced loudly, as if joking but also serious.

She was greeted with understanding laughter.

"Not just you, Lord Nebula is also my idol."

"Alright, alright, you two shouldn't overthink things with someone like Lord Xingyun. You should consider working hard like us instead."

"Pah! Get lost."

The ninjas laughed and joked.

One of them said, "We'll have to get some rest when we get back."

"I have nowhere to spend the task bonus I received, so I have to reward myself properly."

"You're so pathetic~" a ninja next to him said, "The mission reward money is hard-earned, of course we have to save it up."

"When we get married and have children, we might not have enough money."

The man who spoke earlier said, "That's because you're too weak. If you killed a few more Iwagakure, you wouldn't have to worry about not having enough mission rewards."

As they talked, the topic returned to Shenyue Xingyun.

"How much do you think the mission reward should be for someone of Lord Nebula's level?"

As soon as he said that, everyone fell into deep thought.

"The reward for a mission at the level of commander-in-chief... I wonder what it is~"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"If you ask me, someone at Lord Nebula's level probably wouldn't care about rewards anymore."

"Yes, yes, who knows, after we go back, we might be directly elected as the Fifth Hokage! Didn't the Third Hokage say that he would temporarily take charge of the work for a period of time?"

"That's right. Lord Nebula's achievements are no less than those of the Fourth Hokage back then. Wasn't it because of his outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War that the Fourth Hokage was elected as Hokage?"

"If there were an election, I would definitely vote for Lord Nebula!"

"I'll vote too!" "I'll vote too!"

The ninjas' chatter was not concealed, and Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikaku watched the scene unfold around a campfire.

Hyuga Hizashi said to Nara Shikaku, "Brother Seiun's popularity is really high right now."

Nara Shikaku nodded: "He's no less than Minato-sama back then."

Both were equally young, equally outstanding, equally handsome, and equally popular.

Hyuga Hizashi: "Tell me, how does the Hokage plan to reward Brother Nebula when he returns this time?"

Nara Shikaku stared at the campfire in front of him, recalling the long-awaited reply from not long ago. He said, "I don't know."

Hyuga Hizashi: "You're so smart, how could you not know?"

"Is it that you don't know, or that you don't want to say?"

Nara Shikaku: "I don't want to talk about it."

Hyuga Hizashi: "...Talking to you 'smart people' is tiring sometimes. I'd better go find Brother Nebula for a drink... Huh? Where's Brother Nebula?"

"Why haven't I seen him?"

Nara Shikaku: "He just said he was tired and went back to rest."

Hyuga Hizashi immediately stood up: "Really, how can he rest at a time like this? I'll go call him."

Nara Shikaku: "Go if you want, but just a friendly reminder, he said he was going back to rest, but he didn't say he was going back to rest alone."

Hinata Hizashi: "...???"

Nara Shikaku: "I saw that girl from the Uzuki family walking with him."

Hyuga Hizashi stood there stunned. After a moment, he shook his head and sighed.

"What a beast!"

……

Shingetsu Seiun was unaware of Hyuga Hizashi's opinion of him; if he had known, he would have certainly argued with him.

He's not a beast!

Although Uzuki Yugao did want to celebrate with a series of reasons such as "celebrating the end of the war" and "congratulating your victorious return," she was unable to do so in the face of Shinzuki Seiun's righteous spirit. In the end, she was forced to stop at the entrance of Shinzuki Seiun's camp and had no choice but to give up.

One reason is that Shen Yuexingyun's ideology is firm.

Another reason was that he sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation in the room.

Before leaving, Uzuki Yugao reluctantly bid farewell to Shingetsu Seiun.

"Then I'm going back."

"Ah."

You should get some rest too.

"understood."

"You've worked so hard, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight... Dream of me, and don't dream of any other girls~"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded helplessly: "Understood."

"Don't worry, I won't dream about other women, nor will I think about other women."

Watching Uzuki Yugao leave, Kamitsuki Seiun turned around and opened the door.

Inside the tent, the light was dazzling.

Chapter 397 Nono's Red Eyes

Why are you still here?

Inside the tent, Shingetsu Seiun looked at the glowing Yakushi Nono, trying her best to keep her perspective steady.

Yakushi Nonou pursed her lips and whispered, "I've been waiting for you."

Shenyue Xingyun asked, puzzled, "Wait for me?"

"Why are you waiting for me?"

Yakushi Nonou didn't speak, but lowered her head slightly, a warmth rising to her cheeks.

An awkward silence fell over the room. After a moment, Yakushi Nonou forced herself to speak: "You've been working so hard lately. As your girlfriend, it's only reasonable for me to come and take care of you, right?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "That's true, but I'm actually fine and don't need anyone to take care of me."

Yakushi Nonou looked up: "No, you need it."

When a grown man is out working hard, it's always good to have someone take care of him in every aspect of his life, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation.

While Yakushi Nono might not be able to guarantee anything else, she could certainly ensure that Shinzuki Seiun could have a nutritious and hot meal.

To convince Shinzuki Seiun that she could truly take care of people, Yakushi Nonou put on a remarkable performance, earning Shinzuki Seiun's admiration.

Looking at Yakushi Nono, who was busy running around for him without stopping, Shinzuki Seiun felt a little emotional.

"You seem to have changed a lot."

Pharmacist Nonou stretched out her arms to reach the dust in the corner, thus sharing her weight. She spoke haltingly, "Is...is there?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Of course. You seemed to be very resistant to me before, but I haven't felt that way lately."

It was a vague feeling that Yakushi Nonou's attitude towards him... didn't seem like an act. The other person had really changed a lot.

Hearing Shinzuki Seiun's words, Yakushi Nonou bit her lip.

She understood what the other person meant.

She knows that her mindset has changed a lot, but sometimes she doesn't blame herself at all.

The situation changed far too quickly.

Prior to this, Shingetsu Seiun was a rising genius in the Third Shinobi World War, a target of Danzo's recruitment efforts, and her work objective.

After arriving at the battlefield of Iwagakure, Shingetsu Seiun, who was suppressing Iwagakure's commander-in-chief, Koutoku, was her hope of escaping Danzo and rescuing Yakushi Kabuto.

And now.

The Divine Moon Nebula is a mountain.

A mountain taller and more reliable than Danzo. As long as they rely on it, their own and their children's future will be secured.

As for the inner transformation, it was merely a byproduct of the rapidly widening gap in social status.
