Chapter 201 Sunset in the Month of Rabbit
"Nebula Jonin, please follow me."
The terrain of the northern front is winding and complex, with overlapping mountains and surrounding ravines.
Due to a shortage of manpower for the village mission, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were temporarily pulled away, and Kamizuki Seiun traveled alone to the battlefield, finally finding Konoha's base with great difficulty.
After the guarding ninjas verified his identity, they led him into the camp. Passing through layers of defenses and rugged mountain paths, Shingetsu Seiun finally arrived at the command headquarters tent.
"Nebula Jonin, please come in."
Upon entering the main tent, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge sand table.
The sand table was exquisite and complex, marked with dense water lines and mountains. Shen Yuexingyun's gaze lingered on the sand table for a moment before looking around.
Minato Namikaze was not seen.
All I saw were a few busy ninjas and a woman standing in front of the sand table, deep in thought.
The woman wore a Konoha ninja uniform, which accentuated her tall figure and stunning curves. Her long, light purple hair was styled in a bun on top of her head and held in place by two pens. Although her hairstyle was slightly messy and a few stray hairs fell beside her ears, it did not detract from her overall elegance.
With her exceptionally high level of attractiveness, she exudes a natural beauty when focused.
Shenyue Xingyun was momentarily amazed.
He was well-traveled and knowledgeable; even among all the women he had ever met, the woman before him was among the most beautiful.
Standing there quietly, she exudes the aura of a mature, abstinent woman focused on her work.
As he quietly admired the other person, the guard who had brought him here spoke softly.
"The Sunset Jonin and the Nebula Jonin have arrived."
The woman, who had been focused on the sand table, finally looked up. Her eyes flickered slightly the moment she saw Shenyue Xingyun's face.
"Nebula Jonin?" the woman asked, her voice gentle yet cool. Her rich, mature voice perfectly matched her demeanor.
Shingetsu Seiun nodded: "Yes. The Hokage sent me here, saying it's an important mission."
"Where's Jonin Minato?"
As the sun set over the moon, she gazed intently at the Divine Moon Nebula. Her gaze was as focused and undisguised as when examining a sand table.
"Excellent." Uzuki Yuhi thought to himself.
Just like when Shenyue Xingyun first saw her, she was also amazed the moment Shenyue Xingyun came into her view.
His upright posture, impeccable appearance, and handsome features combined are like a gentle breeze on a pine-covered hill or a clear spring.
She had always thought she wouldn't be affected by a man's appearance, but at this moment, she admitted that she was short-sighted.
It turns out there really are people who can make others feel good and happy just by standing there quietly.
"Lord Minato has gone out on business and will be back in a little while."
Shingetsu Seiun: "Where's Lord Jiraiya? Shouldn't he be here too?"
Uzuki Yuhi shook his head and sighed, "Jiraiya—he's also gone out on business and probably won't be back for a while."
"I am Uzuki Yuhi, a special Jonin, and Minato-sama's assistant."
"The camp is currently under the management of Lord Minato, but he is quite busy most of the time. Just tell me the specifics."
Shenyue Xingyun's heart stirred.
Mao moon sunset.
With the addition of her light purple long hair, he couldn't help but think of Uzuki Yugao. He remembered that she seemed to have an older sister, so it must be her.
"Jonin Nebula, please have a seat for a while. Lord Minato will be back soon."
As Shingetsu Seiun found a chair and sat down, Uzuki Yugao recalled the information she had just memorized not long ago.
The Divine Moon Nebula.
A young ninja who has recently gained fame in the village.
The opponent has recently made quite a name for himself in the war. First, he fought against the Scorching Release user, Pakura, and Chiyo on the front line under Tsunade's command. Then, he fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Yagura Karatachi, and other renowned powerhouses on the Kirigakure battlefield, leaving behind a distinguished record.
The name "Konoha's Demon Star" was something she had heard of even on the northern front. Although it couldn't compare to Lord Minato's "Yellow Flash," it was still superior to the "Shisui of the Body Flicker" of the young Uchiha genius.
But now, looking at the Divine Moon Nebula before him, Uzuki Yuhi couldn't help but feel some doubt.
Is it really as powerful as the rumors say?
He was not born into a prominent family, and there were no rumors of him being a genius in his early years.
Ordinary background, young age, and outrageously good looks—how can so many qualities be concentrated in one person?
She recalled the specific details in the intelligence report.
Against Yekura and Chiyo, they teamed up with Hyuga, and Jiraiya was also there to support them.
Facing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it seemed to be a genin who had opened the Eight Gates for millennia.
The attack on Kirigakure's stronghold seems to have involved the presence of Yagura, who uses the Scorching Release technique.
Every victory involved other people. She had only jotted these down casually at first, but after getting up close to the other party, she couldn't help but have some doubts.
The reason is simple—he's too handsome.
She had never seen a man so outstandingly handsome. Even the sunny and dashing Minato Namikaze seemed rather ordinary compared to him.
"Could the nickname 'Konoha Demon Star' be because of his appearance?" she wondered to herself.
She shook her head slightly, setting aside the wild speculations in her mind for the time being. She decided to determine the other person's skill level during a subsequent mission, deciding to wait and see if she was a professional ninja.
Let's wait and see how things go.
As Uzuki Yuhi scrutinized him, Shinzuki Seiun, sitting on the stool, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Why are you staring at my sand table instead of yours?
Could it be that she has a crush on me?
In his past life, such thoughts would usually be illusions, but based on his experience in this life, his accuracy rate in making judgments has always been high.
Just then, a chorus of voices suddenly came from outside.
There were cheers and excitement. As the words "Lord Minato" were mentioned, everyone in the room, including Uzuki Yuhi, immediately looked up.
A figure walked in through the doorway.
With her tousled blonde hair, sunny and infectious smile, she strode in with a brisk pace.
"Lord Minato, you're back." Uzuki Yuhi and several ninjas immediately greeted him warmly.
Shingetsu Seiun witnessed the cheers from the people outside and the respect and enthusiasm of the ninjas around him.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion) in my heart.
Minato Namikaze is incredibly popular.
At least within and outside this large tent, in the hearts of the ninjas on the Cloud Village front, the other party's charm far surpassed that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Orochimaru's defeat in the Hokage election was not unjust.
Minato Namikaze responded enthusiastically to the group of ninjas, then his gaze fell on Shingetsu Seiun.
"Nebula Jonin"
"You've finally arrived," he said warmly, his expression completely genuine.
"It's so great that you could come. With the teacher away, the camp desperately needs a genius like you who can stand on his own."
One doesn't hit a smiling face, especially one that's smiling so warmly. Shenyue Xingyun, rising from her chair, smiled and said, "You flatter me."
"It was all arranged by the Hokage. For the sake of the village, it is my duty."
Minato Namikaze said, "Please sit down. You must be tired from your journey."
"Kushina mentioned you in her letter. And Itachi, that kid is doing well with Kushina, and with him around, Kushina isn't so bored at home."
