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

Chapter 354 Buff Failure

"Aunt Mikoto".

Shirokumo Aoba left the Hokage's office, but did not leave the Hokage Building.

Instead, he went to another office belonging to the Hokage's secretary.

"Aoba, you're back!"

Mikoto Uchiha was overjoyed to see Aoba Shirakumo.

"Yes, Aunt Mikoto."

Is something the matter?

"No, I'm here to submit a task and just wanted to say hello."

"So it was just something I did on the side?"

Mikoto Uchiha's expression appeared somewhat resentful.

"I have some things to do later."

Baiyun Qingye scratched his head sheepishly.

Are you free tonight?

"This one……"

"Xiyan and the others have also gone out of the village on a mission. Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Mikoto Uchiha added, "You promised your aunt before, didn't you?"

Shirokumo Aoba paused for a moment, remembering that she had indeed promised to go to Mikoto's house when she left Konoha.

"it is good."

After agreeing to have dinner at Mikoto Uchiha's house that evening, he left the Hokage Building.

"Aoba, why do you always spend so long in Lady Tsunade's office?"

As soon as Shirokumo Aoba came out, she heard Yakumo's complaints.

They had been waiting for quite a while, just like last time.

"Some things have been delayed."

"Really? You weren't doing something naughty with Shizune-neechan in the office, were you?"

Yakumo looked suspicious. Shizune wasn't a little girl like her; she was an adult.

They may have done many even more outrageous things.

The main reason is that Aoba's technique is too skilled; he must have practiced with someone else.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's the Hokage's office, a very serious place!"

Bai Yun Qingye said in a very serious tone.

Yakumo almost guessed the truth, except it wasn't about Shizune, but about Tsunade.

"Hehe, maybe it'll be even more exciting."

Yakumo looked incredulous, but Aoba was only serious in words. These past few days on the ship, with Hinata right beside her, they still had a great time, didn't they?

Hinata, who was standing to the side, was already blushing with embarrassment.

Kurenai felt that her disciple was like a red bean, always talking nonsense.

Could it be that he was influenced by the red beans?

"Alright, now that the task has been submitted, and it's still early, you can do whatever you want. We'll meet at the barbecue restaurant later, it's on me."

Kurenai Yuhi interrupted Yakumo's attempt to continue.

Worried that the other person might say something inappropriate again, she prepared to leave after finishing her sentence.

"Sister Hong, wait a moment."

White clouds and green leaves called out to the setting sun's crimson hue.

"Is there a problem?"

Kurenai Yuhi stopped in her tracks.

"Could you give this to Sister Red Bean for me?"

Baiyun Qingye took out the photo with Feng Hua Xiaoxue's signature.

"Autographed photo?"

Kurenai also remembered that Anko had asked Shirakumo Aoba for an autograph before.

She reached out to take it, but then suddenly stopped and said irritably.

"Give it to her yourself."

If she helps to pass it on, Hongdou will definitely nag her for ages.

She might get annoyed to death by the other party.

"But... I don't know where Sister Red Bean lives."

"Her home is right here..."

In order to help Shirokumo Aoba find the exact location, Yuhi Kurenai explained in great detail.

"I'm going back to take a shower and change my clothes. Remember to meet at noon."

After saying that, Kurenai left.

Baiyun, Qingye, and the other two were left standing there.

"I'm going to find Sister Red Bean. Do you want to come with me?"

Shirokumo Aoba said to Yakumo and Hinata.

Yakumo hesitated. Although she knew Anko wasn't a good person either, she finally gritted her teeth and shook her head. "I need to go back and wash up too."

I exercised last night and haven't had a chance to take a proper shower yet.

There's also some glue.

Hinata glanced at Yakumo, assuming that he wanted to go back and dress up properly before coming out again.

Naturally, I couldn't afford to be at a disadvantage. "I also need to go back and say hello to my father."

"OK then."

In the end, Shirokumo Aoba went to Akako's house alone.

Following the location provided by Yuhi Kurenai, they knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Still half-asleep, Hongdou, wearing pajamas and a coat, came to open the door.

"The sun's already high in the sky, Sister Red Bean, are you still not up?"

Baiyun Qingye looked at Hongdou, who looked like she had just woken up.

That doesn't seem like a ninja at all.

"Aoba?"

Hongdou was stunned for a moment, thinking she had seen wrong. She rubbed her eyes and pinched the other person's face until the other person slapped her hand away, and then she realized it was real.

Red Bean made way for White Cloud and Green Leaf.

"Have you finished your task?"

Red Bean poured a glass of water and placed it in front of White Cloud Green Leaf.

"Yes, I just got back today."

Baiyun Qingye picked up the water and took a sip.

He was somewhat surprised that Hongdou's house was tidier than Xiri Hong's house.

Maybe it's because they don't have a drinking habit.

Hongdou tossed her coat onto the sofa, still wearing her nightgown, and sat down casually next to Baiyun Qingye, a smile appearing on her face. "You came to see me as soon as you got back, could it be that..."

Snapped!

Before she could finish speaking, Baiyun Qingye slammed a photo on the table.

"I'm here to give you this."

"This is?"

Hongdou picked up the photo and looked at it.

Baiyun Qingye: "The autograph of Princess Fengyun that you want."

Hongdou had already seen the name on it. "It's an autographed photo. Maybe it can sell for a lot of money."

"Are you planning to sell your autograph?"

Shirokumo Aoba was shocked and wanted to snatch the autographed photo back.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Hongdou chuckled and put the autographed photo away, saying, "I'm not the kind of person who's short of money."

Bai Yunqingye stared at Hongdou, sensing that the other party wasn't joking just now.

"How long has it been since you last took on a case?"

Hongdou glared at him. "I just finished a commission a couple of days ago, so I'm only taking a day off today."

"is it?"

Bai Yunqingye said suspiciously.

Anko felt as if her dignity as a special Jonin had been challenged, and angrily rubbed Shirokumo Aoba's face.

"Of course it's true! Don't underestimate a Jonin, you little Chunin!"

Baiyun Qingye really wanted to say that he could easily crush you with one hand, but then he noticed something else.

"The Chunin Exam results are out?"

"Ah."

The red beans didn't stop; they were still being rubbed.

"So who are the people who became Chunin this time?"

Baiyun Qingye expressionlessly pushed Hongdou's hand away.

Seeing that she couldn't get any benefits, Hongdou lay on the sofa like a lazy dog.

"It seems like everyone who made it to the third exam became a Chunin. I only noticed your name; I didn't pay attention to the others."

"I see."

The white clouds and green leaves quieted down.

If that's the case, then Naruto and Sasuke have also become Chunin. Does that mean it's a buff or a nerf for them?

They've lost the positive buff of being a "Konoha Genin".
