Chapter 99

That's exactly what I wanted to do.

Chapter 99 That's exactly what I wanted to do.

Money earned must be spent.

That night, Jieluo returned to the village with his main force. Upon learning that Jieluo had led his team to conquer the Yuki clan, the ninjas who remained at the Mizukage Castle were in an uproar. The news would spread through their mouths. After the troops were disbanded, Jieluo, along with Yuki, reported the mission to the diligent old man, Byakuren, who volunteered to work overtime.

"That's how it is. I went over there, cut down their chieftain, and brought the rest of them back." Jieluo's report was as brief as ever.

Yuki stood listlessly to the side, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

She was the clan chief who had been slain; there was nothing more to say.

The old man Bailian felt that this passage seemed familiar, as if only one word had been changed.

His lips twitched, and he said, "As expected of you, Jieluo girl." He turned to look at Xueji, who was covered in injuries and barely alive, and looked like she had been beaten badly by Jieluo.

"Greetings, Lord Mizukage." Yuki stepped forward and bowed respectfully. Now that she had arrived in Kirigakure, she had to know the proper etiquette.

A hint of amazement flashed in the old man's eyes. Even someone as knowledgeable as him had to praise Xue Ji's beauty. Although Jie Luo was also very pretty and delicate, she was too young.

"This must be our first meeting, Snow Princess," the old man with the white lotus said with a smile. "As expected of the most beautiful woman in the Land of Water."

Jieluo looked at Xueji with a half-smile.

Meeting Jie Luo's amused gaze, Xue Ji's eyelids twitched, and she lowered her head, saying, "The title of the most beautiful woman is undeserved."

"Now that you've joined the Hidden Mist Village," the old man Bai Lian said, not intending to say anything insincere. "From now on, settle down peacefully in the Hidden Mist Village. There will be plenty of time to communicate later. Your current task is to settle your clan. If you have any preferred locations for your clan's territory, feel free to let me know."

Tsk tsk...

Jie Luo watched from the sidelines, realizing that the treatment of the ninja clan was quite different from that of a lone lone person.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama." Maintaining strict family etiquette, Yuki looked up at Byakuren and said, "If I may be so bold as to ask, anyone can run for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, right?"

"That's right!" Byakuren nodded and said, "Anyone can challenge a Kirigakure ninja according to the rules."

"Then, Mizukage-sama," Yukihime said, "how about I take over the Fifth Division's security patrol?"

This is the fastest way to help her clan gain a foothold in the village, and Yukihime is determined to succeed.

However, it seems inappropriate for a clan that has only recently joined the village to take charge of the village's security and guard duties.

Would a normal shadow agree to that?

Jieluo chuckled. Yukihime was a person with her own ideas, but she underestimated the First Generation's magnanimity.

Xueji stared directly at Bailian, testing how much sincerity and genuine feeling Bailian had.

"I've already said it," Byakuren said, "Yukihime, as long as you follow the rules of Kirigakure, there won't be any problems."

Compared to the first and second generations of each village, although they were not lacking in magnanimity, they each had their own problems. By the third generation, each village's third generation had many problems, and this generation was the most selfish, except for the Sunagakure generation.

Yukihime's eyes flickered, and she said, "I was overthinking it, Mizukage-sama. Then I will officially participate."

Bai Lian nodded and said, "If it's Xue Ji, then this matter is already settled. Have you decided which sword to take?"

"Do you have ice blades?" Yuki looked at Byakuren expectantly, as she was unfamiliar with the Seven Ninja Swords.

"You made a wish here?" Bai Lian raised her eyelids and said, "If you don't know, ask Jie Luo."

Yukihime looked at Yura with a questioning gaze.

"I recommend Samehada to you."

This sword can, to some extent, compensate for Yukihime's chakra reserves, allowing her to continuously unleash powerful attacks. It all depends on whether Samehada will like Yukihime's chakra; Samehada probably won't like chakra with an icy, shard-like flavor.

Yukihime said, "That's it, Samehada!"

"You're surprisingly obedient to advice," Bai Lian raised an eyebrow.

If Yukihime had listened to advice, the stalemate with Kirigakure wouldn't have lasted for so many years.

Yuki forced a smile, looked at Yura, and said through gritted teeth, "It's all because of her!"

Bai Lian's eyes darted back and forth between Jie Luo and Xue Ji with a strange look. "Same sexes repel each other, opposite sexes attract each other. This is going to be interesting."

Jie Luo waved his hand dismissively and said, "You old men chat, I'm leaving now. Let me know if you have any missions."

"Lord Mizukage, I shall take my leave then," said Yukihime.

"Go ahead," Bai Lian nodded.

Leaving the Mizukage's office, Lucy and the other three, who had been waiting outside, followed closely behind Yura.

As they walked side by side with Yuki, who had caught up with them, Jieluo said, "Shouldn't we let our injuries heal a bit? There's no rush for a challenge."

Yukihime said coldly, "I have my own plans. I don't even consider Hozuki Gengetsu a threat."

"As long as you know what you're doing," Jieluo nodded and said, "However, I have to remind you, don't try to turn the security force into your Snow Clan's territory. You need to involve the village's ninjas, otherwise, you'll easily become annoying."

"I understand..." Yukihime's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded in agreement and said, "I won't do anything embarrassing."

Just then, a hurried splashing sound came from afar, and soon, covered in oil, Hozuki Gengetsu slid all the way to Yura and Yukihime.

He is in a hurry.

He glanced at Yuki, then fixed his gaze on Yuki.

Yura stood still, arms crossed, leaning against the wall in the passageway, watching this scene with great interest. Lucy, Akane, Tsukihime, and Terumiko stood obediently by the wall.

Snow Princess and Phantom Moon locked eyes, sparks flying between them.

"Ice Block Girl!" Huan Yue said coldly, "You've finally decided to give up your Ice Block Turtle Island!"

He had been waiting for this day for far too long!

He looked Yukihime up and down, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Looks like you got a really bad beating."

"Bald brat." Instead of calling him "Little Mustache," she addressed another of Phantom Moon's features—his lack of eyebrows—and said in a cold voice, "Before my Ice Release, hate your weak and feeble Water Release!"

This mouth is cold and vicious, yet incredibly aggressive.

Huan Yue's expression darkened as she stared intently at Xue Ji.

Throughout his life, he hated it most when people talked about his physical features.

I especially hate nicknames!

"Little Mustache~" Jie Luo said with a light smile, "You're quite well-informed."

Suddenly turning her head, Huan Yue stared intently at Jie Luo and said coldly, "Shorty! Shut up!"

Jieluo didn't care, but Zhuyin glared at Huanyue with a somewhat presumptuous and fierce look.

Jie Luo flicked Zhu Yin's back of the head with a light tap, making her lower her head.

Jieluo looked at Huanyue and said, "It's best to avoid meaningless nonsense. Huanyue, you're in a hurry to come over..."

'

He watched Snow Princess and Phantom Moon with a subtle expression.

"You didn't come here specifically to see Yukihime, did you? You're interested in her? If I remember correctly, you're not married yet, are you?" Jieluo said.

A sudden burst of cold air erupted, and frost quickly covered the passage. Xue Ji stared coldly at Huan Yue, a hint of fear in her eyes.

Huan Yue reacted more directly, her eyes widening as she took three steps back before raising her voice and shouting, "You little dwarf! Stop talking nonsense! That's not how it is!"

"Then stop talking nonsense," Jieluo said.

Huan Yue took a deep breath, looked at Xue Ji, and said, "Tomorrow! Let's fight!"

Simple and clear.

He really is a simple guy, and Jieluo doesn't dislike this kind of pure guy.

"Very well," Xue Ji said coldly, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
