She had expected to meet this old acquaintance, or to discover what purpose Shenyue Xingyun might have for her. But she never imagined it would be such a simple arrangement—to find a job and make a living?

Suppressing her doubts, she simply nodded, deciding to take things one step at a time.

Shenyue Xingyun looked at Samui: "Take them and prepare a room on the first floor for them to stay in temporarily."

Samui nodded in agreement, and then led the two downstairs.

On the way, Karin Uzumaki looked at Samui and asked curiously.

"elder sister."

"Are you Uncle Nebula's butler?"

Sam hesitated for a moment, then said, "...more or less."

Karin Uzumaki: "So what do you usually do?"

Samui glanced away awkwardly: "Um... I usually just do some cleaning and help Lady Yekura with some auxiliary work."

Karin Uzumaki: "I see... Sister, both Mom and I do cleaning."

"How about Mom and I stay here to help you from now on?"

Samui's eyelids twitched immediately.

"There's no need for that."

Then she realized something and looked down at Karin: "You want to stay?"

Karin Uzumaki opened her eyes wide and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, I want to stay."

"Sister, please teach me how to stop Uncle Xingyun from kicking us out, okay?"

Samui: "Well... let's clean the room first."

"I can't clean it all by myself all the time. Over time, the room gets really dusty."

The conversation was clearly a change of topic, and even Karin Uzumaki noticed it. She pouted and muttered something under her breath.

"So stingy!"

Chapter 473 Stupid Woman

"Do you want to see them?" As night fell, Shinzuki Seiun asked Uzumaki Kushina.

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head: "Forget it. I won't see Naruto, so there's no need for me to see either of my clansmen."

"As long as they can live safely, that's all that matters."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "Okay."

"I'll talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi when I have time in the next couple of days. From now on, they can live in Konoha as civilians."

Karin Uzumaki had no objection to this.

After a brief chat, Kushina Uzumaki changed the subject: "What are your plans for tonight?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "?"

"What do you mean?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "No, just asking... Aren't you going to visit Mikoto?"

"She must be very worried about you being gone for so many days."

"..."

"Go see her, I bet she's waiting for you too."

Shinzuki Seiun: "...Kushina, can you stop being so gossipy?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "How can this be gossip... this is concern."

"Yes, it's the concern between friends."

Shenyue Xingyun chuckled.

"It's getting late, bye-bye."

……

Karin and her mother encountered no problems living in Konoha.

When Shingetsu Seiun informed Hiruzen Sarutobi, the latter was only slightly surprised by the identity of the 'Uzumaki Remnant' before agreeing without hesitation.

For him, keywords like 'a person from the Divine Moon Nebula' and 'a woman brought back from outside' were far more important than his identity as a 'remnant of the Vortex,' and he had no desire to get involved.

As for Kusagakure... which village is Kusagakure? Hiruzen Sarutobi said he wasn't familiar with it.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's matter settled, the work situation is also easy to discuss.

Just tell Kakashi Hatake. Rumor has it that Kakashi's circle of friends covers a third of Konoha's food and service industries, and many people have already given him nicknames. As for Nagusa Uzumaki's job, Shinzuki Seiun only mentioned it to him briefly, and it was resolved the next day.

However, the mother and daughter did not move out immediately. After expressing their gratitude, they said they would move out after saving up some wages to rent a house. Shingetsu Seiun did not take it to heart at all.

That night, Shenyue Xingyun was not at home.

Yekura left Konoha to travel and relax, leaving only Samui and Karin Uzumaki at home.

"Nakusa-neechan, I'll miss you terribly after you leave." While cleaning the stairs, Samui expressed her reluctance to part with Uzumaki Naakusa, who was about to leave.

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Nagusa smiled gently: "Really?"

Samui: "...Of course it's true."

Uzumaki Nagusa smiled but didn't say anything.

With her keen eye, she had long since seen through Samui's insincerity.

She was right; Samui really didn't feel any reluctance.

Although Uzumaki Nagusa is very capable, and even Uzumaki Karin can help wipe the table and sweep the floor, saving Samui a lot of effort in tidying up the house. But... she has plenty of strength.

She prefers to work harder on her own rather than have someone help her with trivial housework, even if it means two more people in the household.

At least that way, she can have a carefree feeling of 'no outsiders in the house'.

She enjoyed the feeling.

When Yecang was around, she could clean to her heart's content, and after finishing her work, she could even go to the bathroom to savor the experience.

When Yecang wasn't around, she felt an even greater thrill, like staring into an abyss, knowing that one wrong step could lead to utter destruction.

The presence of the mother and daughter in the vortex severely affected her feelings.

but it does not matter.

Just bear with it a little longer.

She told herself, "I'll just have to endure until Uzumaki Nagusa gets her salary and rents a place."

Just as the two finished tidying up the stairs, Shenyue Xingyun returned home.

Seeing this, Samui put away his tools.

"It's getting late, Naicao-neechan, you should get some rest."

Uzumaki Naoko nodded with a smile: "You should get some rest too."

After saying that, he watched Samui leave in a hurry.

Turn off the lights and go back to your room.

A short while later, the lights in Nagasawa's room were also turned off.

Half an hour later.

Samui's door opened quietly.

She cautiously popped her head out, glanced around, and, finding no movement, stealthily made her way to a room in the distance.

The night was quiet and still.

The loudest sound was the rapidly beating heart in Samui's chest; Samui felt his head pounding.

'Samui, oh Samui.'

Don't be nervous!

'You're not nervous at all!'

'It's just an attempt, what's the big deal!'

"It's okay if the attempt fails, you'll still be responsible for cleaning afterwards."

Don't be afraid! Keep going!

Samui raised his fist to encourage himself, and became even more nervous.

Despite the tension, the tasks still needed to be done.

Standing before the door of the room she had longed for, she took a deep breath, mustered all her courage, and slowly reached out her hand.

"Creak!" The door hinges made a barely audible sound, which pierced Sam's heart.

Although many barriers were set up in Shenyue Xingyun's house, they were mainly used to block sound and light. As for barriers to block spying on enemies, they were mainly set up outside the building and rarely activated when the house was not in use.

So, Samyi successfully pushed open the door.

It roared like an engine starting up!

Sam agreed!

Her pounding heart radiated heat, making her face flush.

She saw it!

I saw a shadow in the room!

At the same time, Shenyue Xingyun also noticed the unusual movement at the door and discovered Sami pushing the door open and entering.

He said succinctly, "Get out."

The engine slowed down instantly.
