Feeling her chakra being consumed at an increasingly rapid pace, Uzuki Yugao knew that her resistance had reached its limit.

When defeated, a cry of defiance escapes from the heart.

'Red Bean, I'm sorry.'

'I'll... I'll get stronger first~'

"**%¥#@..."

……

"Has Xiyan been spending a lot of time with you lately?"

One morning, Uzuki Yuhi arrived at Shingetsu's house to report on his recent work to Shingetsu Seiun.

Halfway through the report, he suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

This left Shenyue Xingyun quite helpless.

"I said, let's just talk about work, can we not talk about other things?"

Uzuki Sunset: "Yugao is my younger sister, I'm just checking up on her, what's wrong?"

Looking at the radiant sunset of the moon, which seemed to bloom like a lotus flower, Shenyue Xingyun thought to herself, "What's wrong?"

Shouldn't you be focused on reporting such important work?

"I'm asking you, answer me." When Uzuki Yuhi saw that he didn't answer, she urged him.

Shenyue Xingyun then said, "It's alright."

Maoyue Xiyang: "Not bad? That's too vague."

"More details, how has she been behaving lately?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "??"

"Speak."

Shenyue Xingyun: "The performance was alright."

"She has a positive attitude, but I always feel that her skills have declined recently."

“In the past, they could hold out for a while under my control, but recently they have been losing faster and faster.”

Uzuki Sunset: "I see~"

"It has nothing to do with you?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Of course it has nothing to do with me. My strength has always been very stable."

Uzuki Sunset curled her lip, but had no reason to refute it.

"Alright, that's enough for now." Uzuki Yuhi was probably tired and stopped reporting.

Shenyue Xingyun nodded, took the documents in his hand, and began to assign tasks to Maoyue Xiyang.

Although the tasks he assigned were straightforward, they were quite challenging. Although Uzuki Yuhi understood them quickly, he still felt considerable pressure.

As the workload piled up, Maoyue Xiyang looked troubled.

Shingetsu Nebula: "What's wrong, tired?" Uzuki Yuhi: "I can still hold on a little longer."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Then let's persevere."

"These tasks are all quite urgent and cannot be delayed."

"We must complete this task with both high quality and quantity!"

The setting sun in the month of Maoyue was silent, only nodding with difficulty.

Her appearance immediately made Shenyue Xingyun frown.

Seeing this, Uozuki Yuhi asked, "Wh...what's wrong?"

Why are you frowning?

Shenyue Xingyun: "I feel like something's not right."

Uzuki Sunset: "N-nothing?"

"You go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

"I can."

Shenyue Xingyun: "...No, something's not right."

Uzuki Sunset: "What exactly... are you trying to say?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Why do I feel like you and Xiyan are in similar situations lately?"

Maoyue Sunset: "Really?"

"Yes." Shenyue Xingyun nodded.

"Her skills have declined."

"You can't withstand more than two of my moves."

"You've been feeling tired lately, even though you haven't had much work."

"I've been too busy lately and haven't been feeling well?"

As the sun set in the month of Mao, a sudden sense of unease crept into my heart.

She looked away and said, "No, not at all."

"Maybe he's just tired."

"Your home is a bit far. Next time you need work, let's talk at my place."

Shenyue Xingyun did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Okay. Take care of yourself."

"There are a few last few tasks left today, please write them down."

Uzuki Sunset: "Hmm."

After noting down all the tasks assigned by Shenyue Xingyun, Maoyue Xiyang felt increasingly tired.

In the instant that exhaustion overwhelmed her, her eyes glazed over, and she murmured something to herself that no one else knew.

'Evening... Evening Glory...'

I'm sorry.

'Your older sister started working earlier than you!'

'You have no idea how tough the work at the top is, do you? To accomplish such a difficult task, you... you're still a long way off~'

'I'll just... cultivate slowly~'

"**!!!%¥#@..."

……

Since joining the Anbu, Uzuki Yugao has indeed been much busier than before.

In addition, Hiruzen Sarutobi's work schedule has been quite frequent lately, and the Anbu has taken on a lot of temporary tasks, leaving Yugao Uzuki with very little free time.

When he has free time, he's either on duty at Shingetsu Seiun's place or helping Mitarashi Anko with her planning and transformation, which hasn't even begun yet. He rarely gets to go home to rest, and he never goes home during the day.

However, even the most difficult tasks eventually come to an end, and even the most ruthless bosses need to give their subordinates time to rest and recover from time to time.

"Clap clap!" In the Anbu office, Kakashi Hatake clapped his hands.

"Listen to me, everyone."

"Everyone has been working very hard lately, and the Hokage is very satisfied with our recent work efficiency and has even given us praise."

"Um... verbally."

A chorus of boos erupted from below.

Kakashi Hatake added, "Of course, there are also practical ones."

"No overtime today. Not only no overtime, everyone can quickly finish up their work at noon and go home."

"We have a day and a half off."

"Yay!!~"*N. A cheer erupted.

Uzuki Yugao, who was in the crowd, was also very happy. Upon hearing the news of the holiday, her face lit up with joy.

A day and a half vacation.

'After allocating one day... half a day for the red beans, there's still one day left.'

'I'll go shopping then, really relax a bit, and then go find Nebula to practice and improve myself.'

Uzuki Yugao thought to herself, 'Oh right, I think my sister hasn't yet given me the coming-of-age gift she promised.'

'I'll make her pay me back when I get back!'

Thinking of this, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but smile.

By the time she finished her work, it was already around 2 PM, and everyone started leaving get off work one after another. Uzuki Yugao packed her things, said goodbye to everyone, and rushed home.

'Hehe, another holiday and a gift!'

What a beautiful day!

Chapter 458 Explain Yourself Here! (Bonus Chapter for Midnight Lanz)

After spending too much time at work, people start to miss their own little home.

This is the case with Uzuki Yugao.

For him, holidays are a very happy thing. He can stay in his little apartment without going out, or he can meet up with his best friend to go shopping and eat a makeshift meal cooked by his sister.

There's also the pleasure of lounging on the sofa, eating ice cream while watching the sunset and tidying up the house – these are all enjoyable aspects of life.

With anticipation for her holiday and hope for happiness, Uzuki Yugao jogged along the way.

Back home, she walked briskly and gracefully, arriving at her doorstep in a few leaps.

"Sis, I'm home!"
