"Sure enough...... When Hokage-sama came to me last month, he told me that you were actually a girl and ...... I said that I heard that the princess of the Land of the Wind was lost more than a year ago, and the news only came out before - it was nothing, but Lord Hokage found out that you and your brother came to Konoha just a few days after they went missing, so they asked me to go to the Land of the Wind to investigate...... Check your profile. ”

Shuo Mao stared at Huiyu's face, took out a portrait from his duffel bag, and spread it out to compare and examine.

The top is the princess Yang in the long-haired period, but the painting skills of the person who painted this picture are a little poor.

The hair color is matched, the eye color is matched, the facial features are generally similar, and the time and real gender can also be matched.

Yu squatted up a little curiously and walked around.

…… The lines are not very good, but the drawing is quite beautiful.

- "Although I have found a lot of information about you, Konoha doesn't know the purpose of your visit, so I wonder if you can tell me?" …… Abundant. ”

Shuo Mao tries to use his father's tenderness to get Yu to speak—and although he knows her real name and proper name, he decides that it is more comfortable to call Yu.

"Yes, but I have the conditions!"

Yu stretched out his right hand and gestured with a 'V'.

It seems to mean two conditions.

"Please."

Shuo Mao put the scroll away.

- Konoha's higher-ups have been discussing two things since they learned the exact news.

One is what will be the purpose of Yulai's side? Is it bad to be a princess? If you want to be a ninja, the daimyo over there also agreed, and he didn't stop it.

So the reason is still a mystery.

The other is...... No matter what Yulai Konoha is for, she is the princess of the Land of Wind, and her identity is there, and if she can be controlled, she can use it to threaten the Land of Wind and the Sand Hidden Village to which she belongs.

The situation in the ninja world is very tense right now.

It's not a good thing, but if it's for the sake of victory, it has to be like this.

What's more, the presence of important hostages can also reduce the casualties of our ninjas.

Shuo Mao didn't want to do that, and explained to the Hokage advisor and the others for an afternoon before they gave up the idea for the time being.

Hizai also believes in Yu and thinks she's not a bad person.

"I want to know what you've done over there, I'm not interested in the information, I'm just curious about what's going on, I can probably know the reason for chasing you, it's the spy and the Kazekage advisor - Chiyo-sama, it's said that you killed your son and daughter-in-law......"

Yu Chao naturally hugged Shuo Mao's arm again: "As for the reason why I'm here, tomorrow we will go to the headmaster and say it in front of him, lest I or you have to find time to say it again to him, okay?" ”

Yu raised his eyebrows and shook his hands to try to be coquettish.

But he was broken by Shuo Mao, and his arm was pushed away by his shoulder.

“…… Well. ”

After Shuo Mao pushed her away, he lowered his head, covering his forehead with a headache.

- "I first went to the Land of the Wind to find out the news, and I received a commission to search for you as a traveling samurai, and I got detailed information about you, but at that time I wasn't sure that it was you, so I looked for some more information in the Land of the Wind, and then I heard gossip that you seemed to run away from home because you were not allowed to be a ninja, but someone said that the daimyo had agreed, and the Sand Hidden side had already prepared a school gift for you, and it was impossible to run away from home because you couldn't go to school--I went to the Sand Hidden Village to investigate. ”

Speaking of this, Shuo Mao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

- "Like you said, a few years after the end of the Second Shinobi War, I had a conflict with the Sand Hidden side, and the Chiyo you said lost his child, so I was always careful and disguised myself, but in the end I was discovered, maybe they were in a hurry and didn't prepare a powerful poison, so I was lucky enough to come back to Konoha with a life." ”

"Why is there such a rush? If it were me, I would pretend not to know and quietly arrange it, so that you think you have not been discovered and take the initiative to step into the trap set...... Wouldn't that be nice? ”

Yu reached out and poked Sakumo's arm and smiled at him.

Her brain cells are most active only when she thinks about things that aren't very good.

“…… Yes, yes......"

Shuo Mao thought about it carefully and felt that it did make sense, and looked at the child with goosebumps all over his body, accompanied by a few drops of cold sweat running down the side of his face.

…… There is indeed this possibility, and I will have to pay more attention to it in the future.

"By the way, how did you get discovered?"

Yu pretended that it was not him who had just said that, and smiled at him very innocently.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Sha Yin prepared an entrance gift for you, so I ...... Just ......"

Shuo Mao found that he couldn't calm down in front of Yu, and covered his face and squeezed out a voice from between his fingers.

——“…… I'm going to take that one away, because I heard that Chiyo spent a long time making it with her grandson, who is particularly talented in puppets, and if it is assigned to someone else, it will make Sunagakure's combat power even higher...... We are enemies, and if we are soft on the enemy, it is easy to lose our lives and those around us. Maybe that's all I can do with the enemy. ”

"I'm from over there, do you think I'm an enemy?"

Yu blinked.

“…… You're different, except for the identity of the princess of the Land of Wind, you're just an ordinary child, an ordinary child who wants to be a ninja...... Even in times of war, I wouldn't go out on the streets or break into a ninja school to kill kids who couldn't resist, but some people don't think so, and there's nothing I can do to stop them, after all, it's the enemy - at least I won't, trust me, don't worry. ”

Shuo Mao assured Yu so.

Yu's true identity is currently only known to him, Riza, Koharu, Tuan Zang, and Yan, and even the white-eyed brother who first discovered Yu's true identity is not aware of this matter.

"I knew Daddy was the best!"

Yu vigorously patted the ground.

She couldn't shoot Shuo Mao, who hadn't recovered yet.

- "I thought you wanted to give me that gift, but I didn't expect it to be because I was worried about the war...... But Daddy is really amazing, he actually ran to the most dangerous place, admire. ”

Yu gave him a thumbs up.

"Haha...... The main thing is that there's a bit of chaos on their side as well, so I think I can get it...... Yu, it's better for you not to call me daddy, I always feel that it's not good after knowing your identity. ”

“…… Next comes the second condition! ”

Yu pretended not to hear and ignored Shuo Mao's words.

- "If you say anything I like about you, I'll tell you all the reasons for coming here tomorrow!" ”

Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox.

- Of course she's joking, and she'll explain it whether Sakumo says it or not.

Just to see how he reacts when he says that.
