Chapter 280 The Nightmare after Breaking Free from the Shackles

After teasing Kojunmaro along the way, Hoshino Kaede returned to the inn, and Hongdou and Shisui also returned safely.

Seeing Kimimaro in Hoshino Kaede's arms, the two children looked at each other in confusion, and then Hongdou immediately exclaimed: "Uncle Hoshino, where did you kidnap this child from? Send him back as soon as possible."

Xingye Feng was so upset by what she said: "Hongdou, I think I have a good temper and I didn't beat you."

Hearing this, Hongdou curled her lips and muttered, "Even if you threaten me, you can't change the facts."

Xingye Feng said unhappily, "This is something someone else asked me to do. Don't get the wrong idea."

"Lululu..." Hongdou stuck out her tongue mischievously, then fled the room before Hoshino Kaede got angry.

"This child is a little too lively. I will definitely ask Zixiao to take good care of him when we get back." Xingye Feng shook his head.

Afterwards, he put Kimimaro on the bed and turned to Shisui and asked, "Is Jinyue not back yet?"

Shisui looked at Kimimaro with curiosity, but when he heard the question, he immediately answered, "No."

But just as he finished speaking, the door outside the house was pushed open, and the person who came in was Bofeng Jinyue.

As soon as he entered the room, he didn't even have time to say hello. He just picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, and then repeated the same thing several times, as if he was a fish out of water in the sea.

"Huh! I'm finally alive. I was so exhausted." Jin Yue took a deep breath like a person who was about to suffocate, and then his tired face relaxed.

Seeing Jin Yue looking like she had survived a catastrophe, Xingye Feng couldn't help but complain: "You're exaggerating. It's a bit fake."

Unexpectedly, when Bofeng Jinyue heard this, he immediately started to complain bitterly, with a very emotional voice, which left Xingye Feng stunned.

"Master Xingye, you have caused me so much trouble. This is called negotiation? It's even more noisy than buying vegetables at the market."

"Those people are just like hungry wolves. They start to chatter when they catch someone, not giving the person a chance to speak."

Xingye Feng chuckled and said, "So... the negotiations broke down?"

"Of course..." The next second, Bofeng Jinyue became serious. "Impossible!"

"I, Bofeng Jinyue, am here to take on two people." As he said this, he took out an agreement with both parties' names signed on it and waved it in front of Xingye Feng as if to show off.

Seeing this, Xingye Feng smiled helplessly, took the agreement, and said, "No need to shake it anymore, the credit will go to you."

He glanced at the contents of the agreement, read it quickly, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, basically what I expected."

After that, he looked at Jin Yue and said something that made her ecstatic.

"When you return, your appointment as a Jonin will be given, and your efforts will be known to Konoha."

"Congratulations, Jinyue Jounin."

As Konoha became more modernized, the benefits of its ninjas also changed. They now had normal wages and no longer needed to take on commissions every day to make money.

Even if a mission is not completed, Konoha will pay the ninjas a basic salary to ensure their daily life.

Not only that, as the ninja's level increases, there will be more benefits. For example, if you reach the position of Jonin, you will have free medical care and education, as well as a reward of a house.

In terms of basic treatment alone, Konoha is far ahead of other countries. This welfare has also attracted more wandering ninjas, bringing fresh blood to Konoha.

"Thank you, Lord Hoshino." Jin Yue was happy and did not forget to thank him.

Xingye Feng waved his hand: "This is what you deserve, no need to thank me."

After that, he looked at Jin Yue with a smile and said to her in a teasing tone: "How about it, do you feel that you have made a name for yourself now? Do you feel that no one can look down on you now?"

“After returning to the village, I can finally show off to others.”

Jin Yue blushed at what he said and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Seeing her like this, Xingye Feng laughed heartily: "Hahaha! Your reaction is shy again."

"Isn't this what you've always wanted? To shut up those who gossip about you behind your back."

"There's no need to do that. I don't take it to heart." Jin Yue said, pinching the corner of her clothes.

Hearing this, Xingye Feng said: "When others look down on you, you want to refute them with facts. This is common sense, and everyone has this feeling."

"On a smaller scale, it's like you; on a larger scale, it's like the war that happened in the ninja world."

"One is for oneself, the other is for the country, both are right."

"Just like if you go back now, you will be greeted with only flowers and applause."

"All those gossips will be drowned in the ocean of praise from the crowd."

"Everything you do is right at this moment."

When Jin Yue heard these profound truths, she suddenly felt a headache and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

"Hiss—Lord Hoshino, I suddenly want to buy some Kirigakure specialties. I'll be leaving now. See you in the evening!"

After saying this, his feet seemed to have wheels, a gust of wind blew up, and the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Hoshino Kaede smiled and said nothing, but turned around to "care" for Kojunmaro and Shisui.

With these two little guys around, I can still have fun even if I don’t go out all day.

"I'm a little tired today, let me have a good rest." Xingye Feng walked towards the two little guys with a smile.

Shisui and Kimimaro: "You old idiot."

Time passed in a flash, and the sky was dyed with ink like a canvas, and suddenly it was pitch black.

The wooden door made a creaking sound. Jin Yue cautiously stuck her head out. Unfortunately, her eyes met with Xingye Feng's.

Jin Yue smiled with a hint of embarrassment and said, "You haven't slept yet. Staying up late is not good for your health."

Xingye Feng smiled, shrugged nonchalantly, and stretched out his chin to indicate the three little ones who had already fallen asleep.

"Don't wake them up, or you'll be in trouble. It's not easy to take care of children."

"In addition, staying up late has no negative effects on me at all. I can go without sleep for a year and still be energetic."

"But you are different. If you go to bed too late, you might age prematurely."

Jin Yue covered her head and shook her head frantically, trying to drive those devilish words out of her mind.

"Don't say anything, I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom and started washing up before going to bed.

Xingye Feng nodded with relief: "That's right, staying up late is not a good habit for a young person."

"Arrange your time reasonably and enjoy a healthy life."

He looked up at the bright moon outside the window. The silver moon, like a white jade plate, was emitting a soft silver glow, embellishing the quiet night.

"No...don't...don't...come...close...to me."

Suddenly, a frightened whisper reached Hoshino Kaede's ears. Kimimaro looked like he had just been pulled out of the water. He was covered in cold sweat, his brows twisted into knots, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
