#66 - Samui's Visit
“I'm going out for a bit.”
A smile appeared on her delicate, indifferent face as she parted her cherry lips and said:
“I'll be back soon.”
“Are you going to see Uchiha Seiji?”
Atsui vaguely guessed something.
Besides this spy point, they had a few others.
Their main task here was to win over Uchiha Seiji.
His sister was most likely at Uchiha Seiji's place.
After all, Uchiha Seiji hadn't been here for a while, so she needed to gauge his inner thoughts.
“Yes, it's a mission.”
“A mission, huh…”
Atsui couldn't refute it.
Honestly, he didn't like this.
It felt like his sister was selling herself for glory, humbling herself to please Uchiha Seiji for the sake of the village's mission.
But there was nothing he could do. He himself was sent here to further root himself as a spy in Konoha.
That's why he chose to enroll in the Ninja Academy.
Just recently, his sister Samui had finished registering him.
“Have a good trip.”
Atsui said.
“Okay.”
Hearing his younger brother's words of blessing, Samui felt a warm current in her heart.
But the moment she thought about going to Seiji's place again, that warm current gradually turned bitter.
Uchiha Seiji was definitely the kind of person who was insatiably greedy.
Who knew what he would want this time?
Samui subconsciously touched her wrist, where there was a "Summoning Tag." Touching the mark there would summon the items stored inside.
This was a technique extremely similar to a "Sealing Scroll," except that a Sealing Scroll could store more and divide it into areas.
A Summoning Tag could only store a single, very small item.
Samui had placed several ninjutsu scrolls inside, in order to satisfy Seiji's appetite.
“I'm leaving now.”
Samui pushed open the glass door and went outside, where there was a bustling crowd.
Atsui glanced at his sister's back and turned around to continue working at the sushi restaurant, wiping tables.
…………
Seiji's house.
“A distinguished guest has arrived. Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?”
Seiji said indifferently.
Three minutes ago, Samui had found him.
Seiji was quite surprised by Kumogakure's boldness, withdrawing from his training state.
He had pushed the ninjutsu "Lightning Release: Iron Skin" to its limit. The electric current, which was originally thinner than a hair, had grown to the size of a wooden skewer.
All of these electric currents were bound under Seiji's skin. As long as Seiji refined his chakra into "Lightning" nature, they would begin to circulate.
Thanks to these, Seiji's development speed was very fast, and after his test, his ability to withstand blunt force was even stronger.
At the same time, he understood that his talent must be even more attractive to Kumogakure.
Leading them to come at such a risk.
“There might be many surveillance devices in the Uchiha clan.”
Seiji poured a cup of tea for Samui.
However, since Kumogakure dared to send someone, they must have taken measures.
“Our background in Konoha is very clean and can withstand investigation. You've come to the sushi restaurant many times, you're our regular customer. This can be said to be an activity of the store, or it can be said that we have a private friendship.”
Samui took the tea, sipped it, making her lips a little more pink and moist.
Kumogakure had been able to infiltrate Konoha for so long, so naturally they had real skills.
On the table, there was also a delicate small gift box.
Inside was a variety of different types of sushi she had brought.
“That's good.”
Seiji nodded, as long as he wasn't implicated.
He suddenly looked at Samui, sizing her up.
The thin top could not hide the curves of her body, but her expression was indifferent, a veritable ice beauty.
Giving people a sense of contrast.
So he pretended to be puzzled and said:
“So why did Miss Samui come to me?”
“I wanted to ask you why…”
Samui raised her eyes to look at Seiji, originally wanting to ask why Seiji hadn't come all this time.
Suddenly, she sensed the existence of electric current.
She possessed "Yang Release" and was proficient in Lightning Release, but usually preferred to use short knives.
According to her perception, the extremely weak electric current was emanating from Seiji's body.
Samui immediately closed her eyes and focused on sensing.
In her perception, it spread from the largest meridian system at Seiji's heart, the whole person was like being drawn with countless blue and white tiny electric currents.
There was no place from head to toe that wasn't!
Including the lower…
Samui opened her eyes and exclaimed: “You actually cultivated this technique to such an extent?”
Giving Seiji "Lightning Release: Iron Skin" was after Kumogakure's consideration.
Because this technique requires a very high degree of fine chakra control, it is necessary to always confine the electric current within a safe range.
Otherwise, a little carelessness will injure the caster's body.
But Seiji not only spread the range of "Lightning Release: Iron Skin" to every corner, but the electric current was also much higher than ordinary ninjas.
At this moment, Samui had many guesses.
The method taught to Seiji by the Uchiha clan?
This was first ruled out by Samui, if so, why would Seiji go to them for ninjutsu scrolls?
They had also investigated Seiji's team leader, and he didn't know Lightning Release at all.
Then there was only one result, that was Seiji's talent for self-study!
“I also suddenly realized that my talent seems to be not bad.”
Seiji smiled lightly and continued:
“What you and I want is very clear in everyone's mind. I need to consider this matter further.”
Seiji was naturally referring to the matter of returning to Kumogakure.
Don't ask, asking is just considering.
As long as he doesn't explicitly refuse, then he will keep their hopes up.
Until they reach their tolerance limit.
Seiji estimated that this time would be very long, enough to fleece more wool.
This time the ninja world war will be so chaotic that even the Third Raikage of Kumogakure will die in the hands of Iwagakure.
In order to cover the retreat, he fought alone against as many as 10,000 Earth Country ninjas, fighting alone.
In the end, he was outnumbered, two fists were hard to beat four hands, and he was besieged to death.
At that time, there will be great chaos within Kumogakure, what time and energy will they have to manage Seiji?
“Don't you understand, the Uchiha in Konoha will only be suppressed.”
After being surprised by Seiji's talent, Samui suppressed the emotions in her heart and calmly persuaded.
The contradiction between the Uchiha and Konoha, through the dissatisfaction of those villagers with the Uchiha's law enforcement, and the subtle attitudes of the ninja clans, they outsiders can see it.
If one day the opportunity is right, a big conflict will inevitably break out.
Samui had a feeling that this opportunity would not exceed twenty years.
Within twenty years, the Uchiha will definitely conflict with Konoha.
But this time is too long.
Spending twenty years here, how old will she be when she goes back after being a spy?
It is estimated that even the village will feel strange.
“That's what you say, but Miss Samui, you should make me feel safe about Kumogakure. Even you, who are persuading me, have said that I am very likely not to go back, and think that I will stand on the Uchiha's side.”
“No, that day was…”
Seeing Seiji bring up the old matter again, the calmness in Samui's heart was broken a little, and she eagerly wanted to explain that she said it casually and didn't have to take it seriously.
