Chapter 374 A New Princess Has Appeared

Seeing that her "older sister" Uzuki Yugao wasn't pursuing the matter anymore, Xiao Nan felt that if she continued to hold it against her, it would make her seem petty.

But thinking about how I spent last night alone in my room, while Aoba and that Anko...

She felt a little uncomfortable again.

"By the way, I might be going out on a mission with Sister Hongdou in a couple of days."

Baiyun Qingye then suddenly spoke up.

"Ok?"

Before the others could press him for answers, he quickly explained, "After Sister Red Bean broke the curse seal, she remembered one of Orochimaru's human experimentation sites. There are probably still people conducting human experiments there, so we plan to go and take a look together."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, and upon hearing the words "human experimentation," they were all filled with horrified horror.

After a long silence, Uzuki Yugao finally said softly, "Then you all need to be careful."

"Ah."

Baiyun Qingye nodded, and the matter of Hongdou was temporarily put aside.

As for the rest, we'll have to wait until tonight to make up for it.

He then looked at Karin, who seemed a little sullen, and took her hand, saying, "Karin, tell me about your request this time."

"Oh."

Karin replied in a muffled voice, feeling very dissatisfied upon hearing that Aoba was going to go out on a mission alone with Anko again in a few days.

The feelings that Red Bean harbors for White Cloud and Green Leaf are common knowledge!

With this back and forth, her Qingye brother might be completely taken advantage of.

However, after listening to Baiyun Qingye's words, she still talked about the mission.

"Our current mission is to investigate the ghostly samurai of the Bird Country."

"ghost?"

Do ghosts really exist in this world?

Temari asked with a surprised expression.

Karin: "That's impossible, of course. That ghost is the daimyo of the Bird Country in disguise."

"Huh?"

Temari was a little confused.

Baiyun Qingye asked, "And then?"

"Well..."

Karin scratched her hair again, "The relationships involved are very complicated..."

She thought it through carefully in her mind before speaking.

"In short, the former daimyo of the Land of Birds passed away, and then the daimyo's son, Saga, who was to inherit the title, was assassinated. Saga's sister, Toki, took her brother's place as the daimyo of the Land of Birds in order to find the murderer and avenge him. At the same time, she played the role of a ghost samurai to find the murderer."

"That is indeed quite complicated."

Baiyun Qingye nodded. "So what was the final result?"

He felt the request was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite remember it.

It seems there really are ghosts.

"In the end, our mission to investigate the samurai ghost turned into helping Toki find the murderer."

"Has the murderer been found?"

Temari asked instinctively, noting that she never received such a request in Sunagakure.

When I team up with Gaara and the others, all our missions are about killing.

"Of course we found them! The assassin who killed the former daimyo, Oogawa, was a high-ranking monk from the Land of Birds. He colluded with wandering ninjas in an attempt to seize power in the Land of Birds, but we defeated them all in the end!"

Karin wore a smug expression.

"Wow, Karin, you guys have really saved a country this time."

Baiyun Qingye also offered a sincere compliment.

Karin's smile widened. "We've also become good friends with Toki, the current daimyo of the Land of Birds. She said she'll come to Konoha to see us when she has time, and I'll introduce you to her then."

"Then we'll look forward to it."

Shirokumo Aoba patted Karin's head, seemingly indicating that Karin's mood had improved.

"Uh……"

Karin hesitated for a moment, then said, "You don't need to know Brother Aoba."

"..."

Shirokumo Aoba stared intently at Karin, contemplating whether or not to knock her on the head.

"Your mission is somewhat similar to Aoba's."

Temari opened her mouth and saved Karin in time.

"Huh?" Karin was stunned.

Baiyun Qingye stroked her chin and compared them. "They really do look alike."

"But we're going to the Land of Snow..."

He went on to explain the mission details of the Snow Country once again.

"Princess Fengyun!"

Karin's eyes lit up.

"Brother Qingye, your mission is much more interesting."

"It's nothing really."

Baiyun Qingye said with a smile, and he suddenly noticed Temari's eyes.

"Temari, please go to the training ground tomorrow morning."

"Ok?"

Temari was surprised to be mentioned. "Is there something wrong?"

Baiyun Qingye said, "While I was away with Sister Hongdou for the past few days, Sister Hongdou needed someone. You happen to be free during this time, right?"

Temari's eyes flickered slightly as she understood what the other person meant. She nodded and said with a smile, "I understand. I will be there on time."

"Brother Qingye, shall we go play together this afternoon?"

Karin suddenly interrupted.

Shirokumo Aoba glanced at Uzuki Yugao and Konan's expressions and nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

-

Baiyun Qingye never expected that she would have to go out again so soon after returning home.

He was already prepared to fight a tough battle at home.

The Uzumaki bloodline gave him a vast amount of chakra, as well as almost inexhaustible energy.

In addition, with the existence of the sealed space, he can maintain a combat state almost at all times.

However, it's quite good that we were able to get away with what happened last night so easily.

"Where does Karin want to go?"

Baiyun Qingye asked.

Karin wore a thoughtful expression.

"Let's go to the cosmetics store first. I just heard that they've put a new perfume on the shelves when I got back."

Karin doesn't have many hobbies, except for collecting perfumes.

"it is good."

Karin hopped and skipped all the way.

Her right hand held Baiyun Qingye's hand, swaying it back and forth, while her free left hand swung erratically.

He seems to be in a good mood.

But when they reached the shopping street, his expression suddenly fell.

"Karin, why do you look so unhappy?"

The cherry-haired girl looked puzzled, leaned forward slightly, her thighs standing straight under her pleated skirt, and black pantyhose wrapped around her calves, all the way to her ankles, and finally disappeared into her small leather shoes.

She was wearing a short-sleeved knitted sweater, revealing a section of her fair, slender arms.

"Sakura, what are you doing here?"

Karin forced a smile.

Sakura shyly brushed a strand of pink hair from the side of her face. "I was planning to go find Ino, but I found out that Ino hasn't come back from her mission yet."

As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Bai Yunqingye.

Liar!

Karin roared inwardly, seeing through the other party's lame excuse at a glance.

It's not even on the way to Ino's house, and yet she's dressed up so extravagantly.

How could it be a chance encounter!

"In that case, let's go for a walk together."

Shirokumo Aoba naturally noticed it too, but since he had encountered Sakura, he couldn't simply ignore it.

"it is good!"

Ignoring Karin's resentful gaze, Sakura happily walked to the other side and took Shirakumo Aoba's hand.
