Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

Shingetsu Nebula: "Just got back?"

"How was your trip?"

Yecang: "It's nothing special."

"I heard you went back to Konoha, and since it wasn't very interesting outside, I came back."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Have you eaten yet?"

Yekura: "I've already eaten, what about you?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "I haven't eaten yet."

Ye Cang thought he would let him eat first, but to his surprise, Ye Cang said, "Go take a shower first."

"You'll get something good to eat later."

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

He could tell that Yecang must have been homesick during the time he was away.

The problem is, he just finished working for nearly two hours and now wants to eat and rest. As for taking a shower, he's not in a hurry.

However, Ye Cang was anxious.

"What are you standing there for? Go on!"

"I've already prepared the hot water for you."

Shingetsu Nebula: "...Um..."

Yekura keenly noticed Shingetsu Seiun's reaction. She stopped drying her hair and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What's wrong, are you tired?"

The words were words of concern, but the tone was not one of concern.

Anyway, Shenyue Xingyun felt that the other party's tone was strange, as if there was something hidden in his words.

"I'm fine, I was just busy with work." As a man, Shen Yue Xingyun couldn't possibly complain about being tired at this time. He gave a simple explanation and got up to walk towards the bathroom: "I'm going to take a shower."

Hearing the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom, Yecang slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a triumphant smile.

Shenyue Xingyun guessed correctly; she had indeed been trying to get intimate while she was away.

When she was in the village with Shenyue Xingyun, things were fine, but after being away for a while, she found that life had lost a lot of fun, and each day was less interesting than the last.

It's important to understand that, for the sake of prudence and to ensure the average frequency of the essential oil back massage missions was achieved ahead of schedule, Shen Yue Xingyun had been taking extra care of Ye Cang, looking after her day and night. After leaving Konoha, Ye Cang couldn't eat or sleep properly. If Shen Yue Xingyun hadn't said she couldn't be taken to the battlefield, she would have wanted to go to the battlefield and 'fight for Konoha'.

Upon learning that Shingetsu Seiun had returned to Konoha, she immediately ended her own journey and rushed back, just to have a hot meal.

And Shenyue Xingyun did not disappoint her expectations.

Two hours later.

Ye Cang ate until he was stuffed and fell into a deep sleep, occasionally letting out a hazy murmur.

"I'm...I'm home..."

---

Three days later, a piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the village.

Elite Jonin Shingetsu Seiun was awarded a half-sleeved robe of divine authority and promoted to Konoha Advisor Elder for his outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War and the Konoha-Iwagakure War.

The news caused a great deal of discussion among ninjas and civilians alike.

Everyone is saying that this is a signal from the village: following Hatake Sakumo, another powerful ninja has appeared in the village, who has been awarded the honor of wearing a half-sleeved Imperial Robe.

Many people even speculated that this was a prelude to Shingetsu Seiun succeeding as the Fifth Hokage.

Some people even set up betting pools in private, betting on how long the higher-ups planned to let Shingetsu Seiun succeed as the Fifth Hokage, with the odds of Shingetsu Seiun succeeding as Hokage within a year being frighteningly low.

However, among the high-ranking ninjas who learned of this news, most had different thoughts and kept it a secret in public, rarely discussing the matter.

At the home of Shingetsu Seiun, Ye Cang looked at the half-sleeved robe of the divine being on the table, picked it up and examined it repeatedly.

"It doesn't look particularly special."

As she spoke, she gestured on Shenyue Xingyun's arm: "But you should look pretty good in it."

"No, no, you look good in anything."

Shenyue Xingyun took the half-sleeved robe of the divine robe from Ye Cang's hand, glanced at it, and chuckled.

"Lord Hokage, you are truly 'generous'."

According to their previous agreement, he did not want the half-sleeve of the Divine Robe, but instead wanted the ninjutsu from the Book of Seals. Logically, the transaction should have been completed.

To Shingetsu Seiun's surprise, Hiruzen Sarutobi still handed him the half-sleeve of the Divine Robe.

In addition to wearing a half-sleeved imperial robe, he was also promoted one rank and became an advisor elder.

Ye Cang asked from the side, "Is the Advisor Elder of a very high status?"

In Sunagakure, Ebizo and Chiyo were also elders and held great prestige.

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "No."

In Konoha, the term "advisor elder" is almost an insult.

"Our Hokage promoted me so that he could give up his position as captain of the Anbu."

"Huh?" Yecang exclaimed angrily, "How could he be so wicked!"

Chapter 404 Leaving the Village

Different perspectives lead to different conclusions.

To ordinary villagers and genin, the advisor elders were high-ranking figures who frequented the Hokage's office and offered advice and suggestions for the village's development.

But the higher-ups see it differently.

If it were Shenyue Xingyun being promoted from Dark Division Captain to Dark Division Commander, that would be a real promotion, but what about the Advisor Elder?

Where in the ninja world can you find an advisor or elder in their early twenties?

Looking at Shingetsu Seiun, Yecang couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to kill him and become Hokage yourself?"

"If you want to do it, I will absolutely support you."

Shenyue Xingyun was both amused and exasperated: "It hasn't reached that level yet."

He certainly looked down on Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he loathed the other's magnanimity, but to say that he would actually kill him was a bit of an exaggeration.

Yekura: "So, do you want to become Hokage or not?"

Shingetsu Seiun thought for a moment. Did he want to become Hokage?

It seems like I don't really want to.

His original idea was to train hard and become stronger, so that he could have a greater sense of security when he could defeat the Otsutsuki. To this end, he had to patiently take turns on duty, all for the sake of becoming stronger, and only he knew the bitterness he endured.

As for making him Hokage, spending a lot of time on work every day, he himself might not be willing.

But now, if I really want to become Hokage, it seems... it's not impossible.

His current strength is not an issue, nor is his war experience. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Hyuga clan, and the few remaining Uchiha members all seem to have a good relationship with him or have his people among them.

Seeing that he remained silent, Ye Cang asked again, "Do you want to be one or not?"

Shenyue Xingyun snapped out of her daze and looked at her, saying, "I don't know yet."

"You don't know?" Yecang asked, "So you're just going to wait and see?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Of course not. I have my own plans."

Yekura: "What plan?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Looking for someone."

To be precise, we need to find Orochimaru.

What Hokage, what advisor—none of that matters when it comes to becoming stronger.

Now that there's no war going on, and I'm feeling stifled staying in the village anyway, I might as well go out and find Orochimaru so he can revive Kushina using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Let's reserve the system's rewards first.

Having made up her mind, Shenyue Xingyun reached out to throw away the half-sleeve of the Divine Robe, but Ye Cang hurriedly spoke up.

What are you doing?

“Throw it away,” said Shingetsu Nebula.

Yekura: "No!"

"It looks quite good on you."

Shenyue Xingyun: "What's so interesting about it? It's uncomfortable to have one sleeve hanging down."

“I didn’t ask you to wear it all the time.” Ye Cang’s eyes shone brightly: “Just for a little while.”

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback; "How long is 'a while'?"

Yecang returned the smile.

Ten minutes later.

The cold voice of Shenyue Xingyun came from inside the room.
