"If you find me annoying, you can bring Samui out. Wasn't she just eagerly hoping you would bring her out?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "What are you saying?"
"You are the most important woman to me, and I will never be annoyed by you. As for Samui, of course, he can't compare to you."
Ye Cang's lips curled up: "You put it nicely."
"Don't worry, just call me anytime if you need me."
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Yes, I won't be polite."
The Golden-Winged Black Eagle sped all the way to an underground gold exchange in the Land of Fire.
"Help me check if anyone has completed the task of tracking down Tsunade."
"The mission to find Orochimaru has been cancelled."
The staff at the exchange acted swiftly and provided a response shortly afterward.
"Lord Nebula, Orochimaru's mission has been cancelled. As for Tsunade's whereabouts... we haven't found her yet."
Shingetsu Seiun frowned: "Is Tsunade's whereabouts so difficult to trace?"
"Why don't you try inquiring at all the major casinos? Can't you find out anything?"
The staff patiently explained, "That's right. If Tsunade changes her appearance or doesn't go to the big casino, the difficulty of finding her will increase exponentially."
"Furthermore, we suspect that Tsunade may not have been going out recently, as if she is hiding from something."
Shingetsu Nebula: "...Alright then."
"Could you check how much the reward is for my case?"
The staff member paused for a moment, then said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask."
A moment later, he returned, panting: "Lord Nebula, we can tell you the reward for your offer, but we cannot disclose the person who issued the offer."
"Currently, your total reward amount is... fifty million taels."
"Fifty million taels?" Shenyue Xingyun frowned. "So low?"
Asuma, a future Jonin, can earn over 30 million ryo, while he only earns 50 million? Is he really only slightly more than Asuma?
Who do you think you are?
Chapter 470 Karin Uzumaki
The staff member said helplessly, "Lord Nebula, this is all the bounty we have. As for the reason... it's probably because you're too strong."
"After you fought with Onoki, many people at the gold exchange withdrew their bounties on you, which is why it was reduced to fifty million taels."
This explanation for the Shenyue Nebula is acceptable.
"alright."
"Any recent intelligence from the Grass Ninja Village?"
The staff searched through the information and found: "It seems that the Grass Ninja Village has been making some moves recently, annexing the surrounding small villages and forces."
"Lord Nebula, if you need more specific information, there will be a charge."
Shen Yue Xingyun did not inquire about more specific information. To him, the size and strength of Kusagakure were not enough to make him truly take it seriously.
"That's all for now. If you have any news about Tsunade, please contact me immediately, or you can contact the higher-ups in Konoha."
"I understand, Lord Nebula." The staff member bowed as they saw him off.
After leaving the gold exchange, Shingetsu Seiun and Yekura once again boarded the Golden-Winged Black Eagle and set off in the general direction of Kusagakure.
...
Kusagakure Village, Hospital.
People were coming and going in the corridor from time to time.
Inside a room in the hospital, a little girl with red hair was peering through the crack in the door.
The little girl looked to be no more than four or five years old, wearing a pair of badly worn black-rimmed glasses. Behind the lenses, her big eyes showed caution and unease.
She observed the people coming and going in the corridor, holding her breath each time a footstep approached, appearing somewhat afraid.
A plump nurse noticed her and scolded, "Go back and stay put!"
The girl was so frightened that she shrank back and quickly closed the door.
In the room, besides her, there was another woman lying on the bed with tired eyes and a thin figure. Like the little girl, she also had red hair, but it looked dry and frizzy.
"Mom, are we going to stay here forever?"
"I don't want to stay here, shall we leave?"
The woman turned her head and looked at the unease in the little girl's eyes; her face was filled with sorrow.
"Karin".
"We can't leave."
The little girl, Karin Uzumaki, pouted and said, "Why, Mommy? I don't like it here."
The woman remained silent.
She couldn't answer that question.
Because the answer was too cruel for a child to bear.
She could only try to soften her tone: "There is food and shelter here."
"Mommy's right here, Karin, be good."
Karin Uzumaki nodded understandingly, and after a moment asked, "Mom, how long are we going to stay here?"
when?
A faint look of despair appeared in the woman's eyes.
She didn't know, perhaps never, until she died here.
As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, she was well aware of her fate after being 'accepted' by the Grass Village.
The ninjas of the Grass Village are like tigers and wolves. The reason they accepted the mother and daughter was simply because of her special constitution.
They are not human.
It is a tool.
When can a tool leave the toolbox? Naturally, when it's no longer needed.
The woman gently closed her eyes, concealing the despair within them, and simply stroked Karin's head.
'Gods!'
'Please, have pity on my daughter and me.'
'Even... have pity on my daughter.'
She prayed, yet remained in despair.
At one point, the door to the room was suddenly opened.
The plump nurse pushed open the door and entered. Behind her, a ninja covered in blood was helped in by several people.
The strong smell of blood filled the room instantly, and Karin Uzumaki cowered behind the woman in fright.
The woman looked up and glanced at her briefly before saying, "Karin, go outside for a while."
"No!" Karin Uzumaki cried out in fear, yet she didn't want to leave.
The woman's voice softened: "Sweetie, go outside."
"Mom has to go to work."
Karin Uzumaki wanted to persist, but the chubby nurse stepped forward, grabbed Karin's hand, and dragged her out the door.
"Get out of here right now!"
"When you grow up a bit, you can stay with this woman."
...
On the broad back of the Golden-Winged Black Eagle, Ye Cang inquired about the Divine Moon Nebula.
"Who are you looking for in Kusagakure?"
"Your ex-girlfriend?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "No, she's just a little girl."
To avoid Ye Cang misunderstanding, he quickly said, "A child of a few years old."
Yekura: "Your illegitimate daughter?"
Shingetsu Nebula: "...I've noticed that you have some stereotypes about me."
Ye Cang pouted: "Is it my fault?"
Shingetsu Seiun: "The girl we're looking for is named Uzumaki Karin, and she's from the Uzumaki clan."
“Oh~” Yecang said, “I know, you were Konoha’s allies back then.”
"But when the Land of Whirlpools wiped out your clan, you didn't do anything big. Now you've remembered?"
Shingetsu Seiun: "I didn't experience the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, so I can only now roughly determine where the people are."
"You'll stay with me for a while and act according to the situation."
Yecang initially thought that Shenyue Xingyun would infiltrate, but when Shenyue Xingyun rode the Golden-Winged Black Eagle directly into the Grass Ninja Village, she realized that with Shenyue Xingyun's strength, it seemed that he didn't need to infiltrate to face the Grass Ninja.
As they flew, the two could see scattered buildings below.
Occasionally, you can see ninjas dressed in ninja outfits fighting, but the commotion is not big, ranging from two or three to more than ten people, and their strength is also quite ordinary.
Upon discovering a battle involving dozens of people, Shenyue Xingyun piloted the Golden-Winged Black Eagle to fly over.
The enormous size of the Black Eagle cast a large shadow on the ground, which the fighting ninjas certainly did not ignore. As the huge shadow covered them and drew closer, the pace of the ninjas' battle slowed down and eventually stopped.
"Who is this?!"
