Chương 100: I am free

After Yukihime and Hozuki Gengetsu finished their duel, Hozuki Gengetsu left without hesitation, his departing figure somewhat disheveled.

He was a little flustered.

Walking on the bridge in the village, the orange glow of the streetlights diffused a white mist. Jieluo looked at Yukihime, whose face was full of worry, and asked, "What's wrong?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Ji finally spoke, "That Huan Yue kid, could he really like me?"

Jieluo chuckled and said playfully, "Don't take it too seriously. Otherwise, if I don't say it that way, he'll spout a lot of pointless threats. You should have experienced his gossip when you fought him before."

In front of Bai Lian, Huan Yue could still restrain herself, but in private, she completely let loose.

Moreover, it might not have been interesting before, but it's hard to say what it will be like in the future. Jieluo glanced at Xueji's beautiful face, which was neither male nor female.

Yuki breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "He is indeed a long-winded fellow."

Perhaps due to his long time at sea, Hozuki Gengetsu's personality and behavior have become very much like those of a gangster.

But Jieluo is a guy with a terrible personality.

"We've left Yukikaze Island." Yura asked, "Are you confident?"

"Unless he comes up with a new technique, his Steam Explosion technique won't be able to do anything to me," Yuki said.

"Ice Release has absolute dominance over Water Release."

Jieluo nodded and said, "Would you like to have a simple meal together?"

Xue Ji stopped and shook her head, saying, "Let's part ways here. I still have a lot of clansmen to take with me."

When she entered the village, her clansmen were all settled in a temporary shelter in the village.

"Go," Jieluo said.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ji instantly vanished into the white mist in a few leaps.

Yura said, "Let's go, to the Oshima family's house~" In the village, Oshima's restaurant is already considered quite upscale. Although it is still an izakaya, it is famous throughout the village for its seafood dishes. Its motto is to use the freshest and highest quality ingredients to make dishes. This kind of food is delicious no matter how it is made. The most famous dishes are frozen squid sashimi and the dessert Mizuyokan.

"Yay~" Lucy cheered, her stomach practically sticking to her back from hunger. She flapped her wings and flew up, arriving in front of Yura in a flash. She said eagerly, "Great demon, get in the car!" With a press of the lightning sword on her wrist, she summoned feathers.

The lightning sword was given to Lucy by Jieluo.

Although there is only one storage area, it can store a variety of things.

Jieluo frowned and said, "Wait..."

A familiar black hole sensation entered Jieluo's perception range. Jieluo turned his head and looked towards the village entrance. The other side was moving very fast, with several hundred people. They were still sixty kilometers away and would arrive at the village entrance in about half an hour.

"What's wrong? Great monster?" Lucy asked.

"Little devil~" Jieluo said, "You guys go to Oshima's house first and order something lavish. I'll come over in a bit."

The three little devils climbed onto the feathers and looked at Jieluo.

"Teacher, we'll wait for you to come and settle the bill." Zhu Yin looked at Jie Luo expectantly.

Terumiko's lips twitched, helpless against the outspoken Akane, and she smiled faintly.

Tsukihime kept a cold expression on her face, swallowed the saliva that kept welling up in her mouth, and couldn't show that she was too anxious.

"Then we're off! Great monster~" Lucy said impatiently, pulling the cart away.

Jieluo looked towards the village entrance and stepped into the fog.

Outside Kirigakure, Mito led a large group of young clansmen through rugged mountains and forests. Even with her whirlpool-like physique, the long journey across the sea without a boat was exhausting. Finally, the gates of Kirigakure came into view in the distance through the white mist.

Mito's lips curled slightly as she looked at the Hidden Mist before her, sensing the familiar chakra and face ahead. A sense of unfamiliarity and confusion about the future slowly dissipated in her heart.

Mito was surprised that she would come to pick her up.

Their slowed pace was light and quick, and the people behind them breathed a sigh of relief. A moment later, the group arrived at the main gate.

The Mist Ninja guarding the gate looked at the group of red-haired ninjas, his expression turning serious and wary. He instantly landed in front of the gate, blocking the group of ninjas. One of the ninjas shouted, "Who goes there!"

Mito stepped forward, smiling gently and gracefully, "I mean no harm. I've come here to join Kirigakure."

The two ninjas guarding the gate looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yura sat directly above the gate, facing Mito, and clicked her tongue in disapproval.

How much time had passed? He had only swung the hoe casually, without even putting any force into it, and the corner of the wall between the pillars—no, the entire wall—had collapsed.

She really didn't expect Mito to come to her so soon. Although he hinted at an alliance, according to Yura's prediction, Mito would have to see with his own eyes that Hashirama was almost finished before he would change his mind.

However, since they've made such a decisive decision, let's accept it all.

Sealing technique, acquired.

"How long are you going to keep looking? Get down here!" Mito shouted at Yura with her hands on her hips, her expression revealing intimacy.

Jie Luo looked at him strangely. Did this girl consider him her best friend?

"Mito, what are you doing in Kirigakure?" Yura asked.

The two gatekeeper ninjas were startled. They turned to look at Yura, immediately knelt on one knee, and said in unison, "Lady Oni-hime!"

Yura waved her hand and said, "This is none of your business. Register her as a princess of the Uzumaki clan. Uzumaki Mito will lead her clan to join Kirigakure. Leave the rest to me."

"Ha!" The two ninjas immediately vanished.

"You know perfectly well enough, why ask?" Mito said.

"How long do you expect me to look up at you?"

In an instant, Yura landed in front of Mito and looked up at her.

Mito lowered her head and looked at Yura with a smile.

Height is such a disadvantage...

Yura smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen Mito."

"It hasn't been long," Mito laughed.

"Lately, I've been thinking about you day and night, my mind is filled with your words, and the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel."

"I'm really sorry," Jieluo said with a slight smile.

"I had almost forgotten about it."

"Sometimes I wonder if you're doing this on purpose," Mito said.

Jieluo looked at the group of young people with swirling faces and said, "So, you've finally made up your mind?"

It's not surprising that Mito noticed Yura, but it wouldn't look good if he said it out loud.

It's a matter of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive.

"A one-stop shop for entertainment," Mito said with a smile.

"You can come up with a name for yourself."

"Not so fast yet, but if we're just choosing a name," Jieluo said, "let's call it Rain Banquet."

"Does it have any special significance?" Mito asked.

"No, nothing special, it's just that there's a casino with the same name."

The territory run by Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is a wicked casino.

"I see," Mito said.

"I came here intending to seek refuge with you, but I have a little trouble with me. See if you can help me out."

"What kind of trouble?" Jie Luo asked, following up on the conversation.

The two looked at each other, both fully aware of the trouble ahead.

"Then I'll be frank, Yura," Mito said.

"I've run away from my arranged marriage, to the God of Shinobi. Do you have the courage to face the God of Shinobi?"

"You're really looking for trouble, Mito." Yura pointed to Kirigakure behind him and said, "You should ask the God of Shinobi if he has the courage to break the peace treaty of the Five Great Nations alliance and wipe out Kirigakure."

Master Zhang can't possibly kill us all, can he?

Mito looked up at Kirigakure, which was faintly visible through the thick fog, her eyes sparkling as she smiled.

"I don't think he'd dare!"

I am free!

"That's exactly it," Jieluo said, a wicked smile curving his lips.

The evil Tobirama Senju, at this very moment, is probably crying and making a fuss, wailing, so pitiful.

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tobirama Senju stared at the intelligence report before him with a dark expression.

Mito Uzumaki ran away from her arranged marriage!
