Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 344 The Essence of Tea

At night, Yakumo came to see Shirakumo Aoba, wanting to learn a new ninjutsu, but was disturbed by Hinata, who was glaring at him with her Byakugan.

Just as the two were at an impasse, there was another knock on the door.

"It's you?!"

When Baiyun Qingye opened the door, she saw Feng Hua Xiaoxue standing in the doorway, dressed in her pajamas.

What brings you here so late?

"Let me in first, I have something to tell you."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue looked back and glanced around furtively.

Bai Yunqingye was puzzled, wondering what the other party was up to.

However, he still stepped aside, since the other party couldn't possibly threaten him.

"Come in."

When Fuuka Koyuki entered the room, she was taken aback when she saw Hinata and Yakumo.

Then he glanced at Baiyun Qingye with a veiled look and muttered to himself.

"Three people together, that's so indecent..."

All three people present heard it clearly.

Yakumo and Hinata blushed instantly, while Shirakumo Aoba's face was full of black lines.

"Just say what you need to say, don't waste time."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue immediately came to her senses, her gaze sweeping over the three people in turn, finally settling on Bai Yun Qingye.

"Among you, you should be the one in charge, right?"

Baiyun Qingye nodded.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue stood in front of Bai Yun Qingye, her expression turning serious. "Name your price. How much will it cost to hire you to take me off this ship?"

"Ok?"

All three of them looked at Feng Hua Xiaoxue with some surprise.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue continued, "Your goal is money, right? I'll pay you a commission if you can get me out of here."

Shirokumo Aoba's face hardened. "Miss Yukie, we have received professional training and there is absolutely no way we would abandon a commission just because of money."

Yakumo and Hinata both nodded seriously.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue's expression changed slightly, but she still didn't give up. "Did San Taifu give you a lot of money? I can promise you that no matter how much he gave you, I will pay double the price."

"Miss Yukie, if this is all you're saying, please leave."

Baiyun Qingye bluntly issued an order to leave.

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue bit her lip tightly, and her originally luscious, red, and glossy lips turned slightly pale.

"This is kidnapping! I never agreed to go to the Snow Country, you forcibly took me away."

"You are not ninjas, but a group of criminals."

White clouds and green leaves stand silently.

Yakumo was getting annoyed. She looked at Shirokumo Aoba and said, "Aoba, she's too noisy. Why don't we hypnotize her? That way, she'll listen to whatever we say."

After saying that, she gave a wicked smile.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue's expression changed drastically in an instant, and she subconsciously covered her body and took two steps back.

In the dead of night, in a boy's room, she was being hypnotized, and some unhealthy images were already flashing through her mind.

Upon hearing this, Shirokumo Aoba's face twitched, and then she tapped Yakumo on the head.

"She's someone we're protecting, so be kind to her."

"Oh."

Yakumo covered his head and responded, while Hinata couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Hinata, are you laughing at me?

Yakumo naturally heard Hinata's voice and squinted at her.

"I do not have."

Hinata immediately looked away, pretending to admire the somewhat crowded room.

Seeing that the two didn't seem to be arguing, Bai Yun Qingye looked at Feng Hua Xiaoxue again, a hint of apology on her face.

"This is really unfair to you."

"Would you be willing to take me away from here?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue's eyes lit up. At that moment, she felt that although the guy in front of her was a bit bad, he was surprisingly a good person.

Bai Yunqingye shook her head. "Although I sympathize with your situation, a commission is a commission, and these are two different things."

Our job is to protect you, so we'll just focus on completing that task and won't do anything else for you.

"Unless you can persuade your agent to drop the case."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue's bright eyes dimmed again.

She had already consulted the Third Master, but that guy, for some reason, insisted on taking her to the Land of Snow.

She couldn't possibly tell the truth.

"You have no idea what you're going to face next."

Her voice was filled with despair.

"Then please tell us, what will we face next?"

Baiyun Qingye spoke earnestly.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue's expression remained unchanged, only indifference remained.

"You will die in the Land of Snow, and you will encounter an opponent you cannot defeat."

Fuuka Koyuki doesn't understand ninjas. In her eyes, Fuuka Nyutō, whom she saw in her childhood, is a nightmare that no one can defeat.

"It seems you are indeed in a very dangerous situation."

"In that case..."

"But now that we've accepted this commission, we won't give up easily. Even if it means death, we'll die before you."

Bai Yunqingye interrupted her calmly.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue was numb; she stared blankly at Bai Yun Qingye, whose face remained calm.

"I told you you might die, aren't you afraid at all?"

"You are our target for protection, so we will protect you even if it means our deaths."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue opened her mouth, looking at the other party's stubborn expression, and felt extremely annoyed.

These ninjas aren't afraid of death, but she is!

Moreover, is it worth risking your life for a single commission?

She had never seen a ninja risk their life for a commission.

You'll regret this!

After gritting her teeth and saying those words, Feng Hua Xiaoxue slammed the door and left the room in a huff.

"Aoba-kun, wouldn't it have been better if you had just told her that we already knew her true identity?"

As soon as Fuuka and Koyuki left, Hinata asked in confusion.

Before Shirokumo Aoba could answer, Yakumo spoke first, patting Hinata's shoulder and shaking his head as he spoke.

"Hinata, you don't understand. If we don't do it this way, Aoba won't be able to increase that little snow princess's favorability, will he?"

"In this way, we won't be able to win them over."

"Oh, I see. I understand now."

Hinata responded earnestly, then lowered her head and said shamefully, "Did we cause trouble for Aoba-kun?"

"You two have had enough."

Shirokumo Aoba interrupted the two women's tea-filled conversation, explaining, "There's no need to say anything. The task is to protect Fujikaze Yukie."

"We just need to complete this task honestly; there's no need to interfere in other matters."

As for helping Feng Hua Xiao Xue restore her kingdom, Feng Hua Nu Tao will definitely come knocking on their door.

"hehe."

After hearing the explanation, Yakumo just sneered, "Then can you guarantee you have absolutely no interest in Fuuka Koyuki?"

"……No!"
