Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 373 is no longer important...

"Sister Hongdou, Sister Hong, I'll head back now."

After finishing tidying up with Hongdou, Baiyun Qingye prepared to leave.

Kurenai smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear. Just as she was about to get up, a sudden coolness made her unconsciously squeeze her legs together again. Trying to remain calm, she said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

"Oh, right!"

Baiyun Qingye seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hongdou, "Sister Hongdou, I took the meatballs from your refrigerator and put a lot of vegetables in them."

"Huh?"

Anko, who had originally planned to tease Kurenai Yuhi, suddenly froze on the spot.

"What did you say?"

"Without the curse mark, you'll easily gain weight if you eat too many sweets."

Baiyun Qingye reminded him again, and then said, "You must control your diet carefully from now on."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Frustrated, Red Bean missed her target and ran quickly towards the refrigerator after landing.

Upon opening it, all the dozens of meatballs that were originally inside had disappeared, and even the instant noodles were almost gone.

"hateful!"

Looking at the refrigerator full of eggs, vegetables, and beef, Hongdou shed tears of emotion.

My condolences.

Despite her discomfort, Kurenai walked over to Ayame and patted her on the shoulder.

"Red, Green Leaf is so awful!"

Red Bean nestled in Kurenai's arms, looking wronged and on the verge of tears.

"Ugh."

Knowing just how much Aoko loves sweets, Kurenai patted her head. "How about we go buy some more later? It's on me."

Hongdou paused for a moment, then thought for a brief time, "Never mind, I'll just buy some to try later."

"Ok?"

Kurenai was a little stunned; she hadn't expected that Anko would be able to overcome her craving for dumplings.

Is this still the same Red Bean?

Red Bean, hugging Kurenai, couldn't help but sigh, "Finding a boyfriend is such a hassle... huh?"

Her voice paused for a moment, then she said with some doubt, "Hong, why are your pockets so bulging? Are you hiding something?"

"Huh?"

Before Kurenai could react, Anko's hand had already reached into the inside pocket of her clothes and taken something out.

This left her mind blank, and her body froze on the spot.

By the time she tried to snatch it, it was too late.

Hongdou raised her palm and unfolded it. After seeing the design of the item in her hand, her expression turned strange.

Her face flushed crimson, and she dared not look at Hongdou; her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"red beans……"

"Red, could this be Aoba from earlier... uh!"

Hongdou's teasing words stuck in her throat.

Because she saw that Kurenai Yuhi could no longer control her killing intent.

Somewhat embarrassed, Hongdou stuffed the things in her hand back into the other person's pocket, looking rather foolish.

"Hong, what just happened? I didn't see anything."

"Hehe, best friends are no longer important."

Kurenai Yuhi gave a look of utter exasperation and let out a sinister, wooden laugh, uttering words that sent chills down Anko's spine.

"red……"

Red Bean wanted to struggle a little longer.

Kurenai Yuhi immediately began forming hand seals, "Only the dead can keep secrets!"

"Illusion..."

-

Baiyun Qingye used his teleportation technique to leave Hongdou's house. He didn't know if Hongdou would secretly buy dumplings to eat while he was away.

This is something he can't control; after all, he can't be like a pendant following the other person around 24 hours a day.

However, if Hongdou shows any signs of gaining weight, he immediately tries to find a way to help her lose weight.

After all, he didn't want to actually face a sweet potato more than ten years later.

"I'm back... Sister Xiyan, you're back after completing your mission!"

Back home, Shirokumo Aoba immediately spotted Uzuki Yugao sitting in the main seat.

"Brother Qingye, what about me? What about me?"

Karin, who was being ignored, was very angry.

Shirakumo Aoba walked over and patted her head. "Karin, how did your mission go this time?"

Karin nuzzled his hand, her face beaming with joy, and was about to begin her story when Yugao Uzuki interrupted her abruptly.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's talk about your staying out all night first."

Uzuki Yugao already knew about this from Konan, so it's understandable that she's asking now.

Xiao Nan was looking at Bai Yun Qingye with a resentful gaze. She had waited until very late last night, and hadn't seen anyone even after falling asleep.

"Uh... this matter is actually related to Orochimaru."

Baiyun Qingye started by addressing the most serious issues, which effectively diverted Xiyan and Xiaonan's attention.

"what?!"

As expected, both Uzuki Yugao and Konan's expressions became much more serious.

"O...Orochimaru!"

Qin showed a look of horror.

Because she has been in this house for some time now, she hasn't accomplished anything about the tasks Orochimaru assigned her.

Although some were found in Xiaonan's room a couple of days ago, she secretly hid them away.

Because Orochimaru would definitely use it to do bad things.

She's now worried that Orochimaru might have found out about this.

"Qin, this has nothing to do with you."

Baiyun Qingye noticed Qin's change in expression and quickly offered a word of comfort.

He felt that Orochimaru had probably forgotten that he still had one of his subordinates at home.

He didn't mention it at all when I saw him last time.

"Really...really?"

Qin's expression softened slightly.

"Ah."

Baiyun Qingye said with a smile, "Don't worry, with me here, Orochimaru won't dare to attack you."

"Thank you... thank you, Lord Aoba!"

Qin's eyes were filled with tears, her face etched with emotion.

"Let's get down to business!"

Uzuki Yugao pinched Shirokumo Aoba's waist.

Shirokumo Aoba immediately came to her senses and explained, "Yesterday afternoon, I removed the cursed seal that Orochimaru left on Anko-nee."

"Red Bean's cursed seal? I remember even Tsunade couldn't break it."

As a veteran Jonin, Uzuki Yugao naturally knew about Anko's situation.

"Sister Xiyan, have you forgotten that I am skilled in sealing techniques?"

Bai Yunqingye smiled and reminded her, "Sister Hongdou was unconscious for a whole day and only woke up this morning. I was worried that something might have happened, so I've been taking care of her the whole time."

"You really just took care of her and didn't do anything else?"

Uzuki Yugao raised an eyebrow.

Baiyun Qingye remembered what Hongdou had said about keeping it a secret, so she nodded, "I didn't do anything!"

"Alright then, remember to send a message next time something like this happens, otherwise we'll worry too."

Uzuki Yugao didn't intend to ask any further questions.

"That's it?"

Konan, who was planning to watch the show from the side, looked at Uzuki Yugao with surprise and suspicion.

"Why not?"

Uzuki Yugao sighed helplessly.

So what if something happened between him and Hongdou?

Looking at all the people in the room, she had long since become desensitized.

Xiao Nan has completely forgotten how she ended up living here.
