...
The scene shifts to Comrade Samui, who has finally managed to leave the village.
Under the scorching sun, Samui wiped the sweat from her brow.
Her eyes subtly glanced at the young kunoichi, Kurenai Yuhi, by her side.
Kurenai Yuhi, graduated from the Ninja Academy at nine, became a Chunin at thirteen. Exceptionally talented, after a few more years of training, she would naturally become a Jonin of Konoha.
On the surface, this girl was simply the subject of her escort mission.
But...
Samui did not let down her guard because of Kurenai's harmless-looking face.
Perhaps this was the true life of an undercover kunoichi. Having spent so much time lurking around that foolish ninja, Gojo Kaigetsu, she had almost forgotten the dangers of infiltration.
According to Samui's intel...
Kurenai Yuhi was Gojo Kaigetsu's student when he taught at the Ninja Academy. It wasn't an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but a proper "disciple and master" relationship.
Could it be a coincidence?
That the escort mission she received happened to involve a young kunoichi closely related to Gojo Kaigetsu?
Perhaps she was a spy planted by Gojo Kaigetsu to monitor her.
Moreover, along the way, Samui could sense Kurenai's occasional, almost imperceptible, hostile glances.
It was hard to say for sure.
"We're here. Tanzaku Quarters is just ahead."
Kurenai's indifferent voice pulled Samui back to reality from her mental game.
"Eh, we're here already?"
"Thank you for your hard work on this journey, Kurenai. You can return to Konoha now. I'll hire someone else to escort me back."
"I'll tell Kaigetsu-kun when I get back. He won't blame you, and the mission reward will be paid as usual."
"No, Kaigetsu-sensei instructed me to personally escort you back."
"Even if the client requests a change to the mission midway, I cannot comply. Strictly adhering to Kaigetsu-sensei's instructions is my ninja way."
What did this have to do with the ninja way?!
Also, this young kunoichi's attitude towards that good-for-nothing ninja, Gojo Kaigetsu, was too strange!
It was almost like... the attitude one would have towards their father, but calling him a father felt odd as well.
Kurenai's understanding of paternal love seemed... impure.
Under Kurenai's determined gaze, Samui reluctantly abandoned the idea of dismissing this potential spy.
"If you want to follow, then follow close behind."
'Troublesome. The reason I gave Gojo Kaigetsu was to meet an old friend. With Kurenai monitoring me, my intention to connect with Tsunade will be exposed.'
'But it doesn't matter. In the end, if Gojo Kaigetsu learns that I did all this for him, my position in his heart should become even more unshakeable.'
'By then, he'll see me as the mistress of the Gojo family, the pillar of support, and he wouldn't dare to use that dirty and despicable...'
'One Thousand Years of Death.'
