Chapter 142 Spectating the Battle
After settling the tailed beasts near the village, they threw the Three-Tails into a mountain lake and the Six-Tails into a wetland. Yura then led Mito and the others back.
"Are we just going to leave them there like that?" Mito asked on the way, still somewhat uneasy.
"What do you think they are?" Jieluo retorted, "Humans?"
After thinking for a moment, Mito said, "I was overthinking it." She was still considering Yura's plan with the tailed beasts, but seeing that Yura didn't seem inclined to elaborate, she smiled and said, "I thought you were going to make me a Jinchūriki."
She stopped walking, looked at Mito, and said, "That's a good idea, but don't think about it again next time."
"You're lying, aren't you? I've discovered..." Mito narrowed her eyes, hands behind her back, and laughed gleefully, "You never speak honestly, Yura. What's your purpose in doing this?"
"Purpose?" Jieluo pondered for a moment.
"Look, isn't it a bit too late to start making up a suitable reason now?" Mito laughed.
"Then what do you think my purpose is?" Jieluo asked.
"That's not important." Walking down the road with her hands behind her back, kicking at the pebbles with her toes like a little girl, Mito smiled and said, "In terms of the result, no one became a Jinchūriki, and that's enough. I like this outcome."
"Is that so..." Jieluo followed, lowering her eyelids without replying.
"It's alright, I understand even if you don't say it..." Mito turned to look at Yura, and said as she walked backwards, "No matter what the future holds, now that I'm on this ship, I'll stay with you to the very end."
"Mito..."
"Um?
Raising her eyes, Jieluo asked, "What kind of world do you want to create?"
"You overestimate me. I'm not a god of the ninja world like Hashirama Senju." Mito laughed. "Creating some kind of world is too difficult, and I don't have much confidence in it. I just want a stable place to live so that the people I love can live happily together in this cruel ninja world. It's just a little wish of a woman."
"That's quite easy to achieve," Jieluo said.
Mito blinked and smiled, "As my only true friend, you'll help me, right?"
Have we become best friends yet?
Jieluo said, "Becoming your close friend is quite easy."
"Don't abruptly change the subject when you encounter difficult questions, Yura," Mito said. "What do you think? Are we best friends? I've staked my entire fortune and future on you."
Mito only focused on attacking.
She treated Gyallo as a woman, and Gyallo also treated her as a woman.
At once...
Jieluo turned her head away.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes," Mito said with a grin. "Surprisingly, you're quite shy. Why don't you just be honest?"
"Yes, yes, dear friend," Jieluo said. "Even married couples get divorced, so the term 'dearest friend' isn't entirely reliable, Mito."
"It's alright." Mito turned around and strode forward, smiling. "I know you, Yura, don't easily make promises, but you will keep them." She then slowed her pace, walking alongside Yura without her noticing, and reached out to naturally take Yura's hand.
It's perfectly normal for girls to hold hands, right? It's a common expression of intimacy.
but...
With a snap, Yura slapped away Mito's outstretched hand.
Mito stared at Yura, while Yura glanced at Mito sideways.
"Another failed attempt to stare," Mito thought, a fleeting look of regret in her eyes. She calmly withdrew her hand and said, "You're really not cute at all, Yura."
"I'm sorry I'm not cute, Mito," Yura said. "Whether it's Lucy, Akane, or Tsukihime, you can hug them, rub them, and drool over their faces without any problem."
"Tsk... I didn't drool." She had tried biting it, because it was so cute, Mito said, "It's too easy to do, so there's no sense of accomplishment..."
"Give up, Mito," Yura said.
"No way~" Mito shook her head firmly and said, "Never giving up is my ninja way."
"Don't take your ninja way down a pointless path..." Yura said with a light smile, "Do you want to try dying once?"
"I'm so scared~" Mito said, "Why don't you try it yourself?"
"Tsk!" Jieluo turned her head away.
Behind them, the little demon Gailsy was eight zhang away. Watching the two arguing, she shrank back.
Don't look at me! Don't look at me!
"Little demon, Gai!!!" Yura and Mito shouted at the same time.
"Here I am!" Lucy flew up, her face beaming with a bright, ingratiating smile.
"Pull the cart!" Yura and Mito said at the same time.
Yura looked at Mito, who smiled and said, "We really have great chemistry, don't we?"
Lucy felt a chill run down her spine.
"That's so childish, Mito," Yura said, feeling a little powerless for a moment. After Lucy finished putting on her clothes, they got into the car.
"I love it~" Mito jumped into the car and said, "Little Demon, hoist the sails~ Let's go~"
Pulling the cart, Lucy took a deep breath. When would this end?
The thought of living like this for the rest of my life, caught between two great demons, not only Yura the Great Demon who liked to bully me, but Mito the Great Demon was the same, made my vision go black.
"I hate it so much~"
As spring turned to autumn, and each village accelerated its preparations, the five major villages completed their initial reorganizations this year. Based on this, each village turned its attention to other ninja villages outside, increasing their probing and spying activities, sending spies and agents to each other. Undercurrents were surging, but on the surface, the ninja world remained calm. Although there were small-scale frictions between ninjas carrying out missions on the ninja continent, they all exercised restraint because it was not yet time for war, and no one was killed for the time being.
Coincidentally, all the ninjas on mission assignments across the Ninja World were carrying out a secret mission: to investigate the whereabouts of Uchiha Madara.
Occasional clues led them to pinpoint Madara Uchiha's activities to the Land of Lightning.
At this point, everyone's attention turned to this place. With many ninjas from Sunagakure, Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure mysteriously disappearing or dying, the ninja world, which dared not continue to test Madara Uchiha's attitude, fell into an eerie silence.
Another year has quietly passed, and a new year has begun.
Five years in hiding, summer.
Amidst great anticipation and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man made his entrance.
Carrying the enormous Nine-Tails, it marched straight from the Land of Lightning toward Konoha without stopping along the way. Residents of numerous towns witnessed the massive Nine-Tails' departure, creating a brief period of panic.
The figure of the man on it stood with his arms crossed, looking down on the ninja world with an arrogant and extremely arrogant posture.
It seems he doesn't take anyone seriously.
If you remove the "seems" part, there's only one man in his eyes.
The entire ninja world was thrown into chaos upon receiving the news, but soon, all the ninja villages made a decision on the same occasion.
