Chapter 156 The Legacy of the Uzumaki Clan

"How about it? This mission is much more interesting than Kakashi's escort missions?"

After Kaho Uzumaki finished speaking, Kurenai Yuhi winked at Aoba Shirakumo and the others as if she wanted to take credit.

"It's pretty good."

Shirokumo Aoba nodded. The Land of Whirlpools wasn't far from the Land of Waves, so they could travel faster that way.

However, he was very curious about what other legacies the Uzumaki clan had left behind.

Could it be those masks?

"Does this mission mean we can fight ninjas from other ninja villages?"

Yakumo revealed an eager expression.

Kaho Uzumaki nodded, but her eyes quickly dimmed.

"Since its destruction, the Land of Whirlpools has become a no-man's land between several major powers, and has been a paradise for wandering ninjas and some lawless elements for many years."

"Therefore, there is a high chance that we will encounter some attacks from wandering ninjas when we go there, which is why it may become an A-rank mission."

Yakumo also noticed the change in Kaho Uzumaki's expression and realized that what he had said had triggered unpleasant memories for her.

She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Aunt Kaho."

Kaho Uzumaki patted Yakumo's head, smiled, and shook her head. "It's nothing."

Seeing this, Kurenai clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to her, and then spoke.

"Alright, this is our class's first time going on an outing, and this mission is going to be quite challenging."

Logically speaking, this kind of request, which is very likely to become an A-rank mission, should not be something that low-ranking ninjas like them would be given.

However, Tsunade said that this task was actually to enhance Shirakumo Aoba's resume, and when she saw Tsunade's confident expression, she accepted it.

Kurenai Yuhi underestimated Aoba Shirakumo's strength.

This is a Kage-level ninja disguised as a Genin.

However, Yakumo and Hinata weren't as exaggerated as Shirakumo and Aoba, so she still had to remind them.

"Besides the possibility of being attacked by wandering ninjas, we are also very likely to be attacked by ninjas from other villages, so you must take this seriously and be as careful as possible, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

All three responded seriously.

Kurenai nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Let's dismiss everyone for today. Go back and prepare carefully to get back to your best condition. We'll officially set off tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

The three parted ways, and this time they didn't choose to go shopping together.

Just as Kurenai Yuhi said, they must go back and make thorough preparations.

White clouds and green leaves, along with swirling whirlpools and fragrant leaves, walk side by side.

"Aunt Kaho, what exactly is the legacy left behind by the Land of Whirlpools?"

Kaho Uzumaki had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning and spoke directly.

"Actually, it's the Grim Reaper mask that the Uzumaki clan used to enshrine in the Namen Hall. In addition, it also contains some of the Uzumaki clan's old wealth."

"Money is a minor matter, but these masks are quite valuable and have some special functions. If possible, it would be better to recycle them; it's too dangerous to leave them outside."

"I see……"

"Is Aunt Kaho coming with us too?"

Kaho Uzumaki nodded.

“I will go with you too. After all, the location of Namendo is quite hidden in the Land of Whirlpools. Ordinary people may not be able to find it.”

Baiyun Qingye recalled that this Namen Hall was something Orochimaru had only visited later in the story when he was trying to restore his arm.

"That Karin, she..."

"I've already asked Shizune to help take care of it."

"That……"

After understanding the specifics, Shirakumo Aoba changed the subject and chatted casually with Uzumaki Kaho.

Soon they arrived at the Thousand Hands Ancestral Home.

"Qingye, are you coming to Auntie's for dinner tonight?"

Shirokumo Aoba wanted to refuse, but then she suddenly remembered Tsunade's furious appearance that morning.

He decided to avoid direct confrontation for now.

"it is good!"

……

It was evening.

When Karin returned from outside, she immediately saw Shirakumo Aoba sitting on the sofa.

"Brother Qingye!"

Karin's eyes suddenly lit up. After taking off her shoes, she didn't bother to change them. Her slender little feet, encased in black stockings, stomped on the floor with a dull thud.

Bai Yunqing couldn't help but take a second look.

She sat down next to him and unceremoniously wrapped her arms around his.

His red hair was plastered to his face.

It was really stuck to his face; probably because he had just finished a mission and was covered in sweat, it felt sticky.

"Karin, you're all sweaty, so don't stick to Aoba."

Kaho Uzumaki put on a stern face and said.

Karin turned her head and made a face at her.

"Brother Qingye won't mind, right, Brother Qingye?"

As she spoke, Karin used her warm, black-stockinged feet to rub against Shirokumo Aoba's calves.

Despite his young age, he's learned quite a few tricks.

Baiyun Qingye grabbed her restless little feet.

At the same time, he pushed her face away.

"Go take a shower first!"

"Does Brother Qingye dislike me?"

Karin looked aggrieved.

Bai Yunqingye gently squeezed her small feet; the black stockings were slightly damp with sweat, and holding them in her hand had a unique feel to them.

Karin, noticing something amiss, immediately blushed.

She took the initiative to release Baiyun Qingye and stood up from the sofa.

I ran towards the bathroom.

"I'll go take a shower first."

It's okay if your hair is wet, but nobody likes having sweaty, smelly feet.

"This girl!"

Kaho Uzumaki also looked helpless.

"It's okay, Karin is quite cute like this."

Baiyun Qingye also got up and walked towards the bathroom.

There was no other reason; I just wanted to wash my hands.

"Karin has been spoiled rotten by you."

Shirokumo Aoba remained noncommittal, but Karin only acted this way in front of him, and although she could be a little willful at times, she was still very obedient to him.

I won't do anything to upset him.

When Karin came out of the bathroom.

The pair of wet black stockings had disappeared.

The sound of bare feet on the floor became much crisper.

"Brother Qingye, please help me blow-dry my hair!"

……

After dinner.

Shirokumo Aoba left Karin's family.

He carefully pushed open the door to Tsunade's house.

The moment his head poked inside a little, a fair hand pulled him inside.

Holy crap! A sneak attack!

He never expected Tsunade to be so lacking in martial ethics!

They directly used a method of concealing their presence to ambush him.

Looks like I'll have to remember to use Kagura's Mind's Eye next time.

After being subjected to a brutal and inhumane torture by Tsunade.

Baiyun Qingye, utterly dejected and disheveled, slumped on the sofa.

There was still Tsunade's red nail polish on the collar of her clothes.

Shizune was standing to the side, covering her eyes with her hands, indicating that she couldn't bear to watch.

However, the meaning behind the cut between his fingers and the excitement in his eyes remains unknown.
