Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

After reviewing the memories of the Wood Clone, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but smile.

The moment Akiyama himself left during the live stream was the moment Gaara and Rock Lee had just begun their battle.

The reason he left behind the wooden clone was to prevent Gaara from killing Lee in the end.

Firstly, he still admired Xiao Li and wanted to prevent him from becoming disabled.

Another reason is that if Lee were to become disabled, Tsunade would ultimately be needed to treat him.

However, his sister Tsunade is currently pregnant, and if he attacks frequently, it may have a negative impact on her health.

However, what Uchiha Kakuzan didn't expect was that, at the very last moment, Gaara, for some unknown reason, gave up on the final torment of Rock Lee.

This meant that although Xiao Li ultimately failed, he was not left with any disabilities and was able to fully recover after a few days of rest.

Just as Uchiha Kakuyama finished probing his memories, a tall figure slowly walked up behind him.

However, this figure did not conceal her presence. When she appeared, the sound of her footsteps reached Uchiha Kakuyama's ears.

Uchiha Kakuzan was very familiar with the sound of footsteps. When he turned around, he saw a pretty face that seemed to be both angry and smiling.

"Xi Yan, it really is you! The competition here is over, why haven't you gone back to rest yet?"

However, Uzuki Yugao ignored Uchiha Kakuyama's question and walked straight towards him, finally throwing herself into his arms like a weary bird returning to its nest.

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Uzuki Yugao to make such a move, and instinctively pulled her delicate body into his arms, asking with some confusion:

"Xiyan, what's wrong? Did something upset you?"

In his memory, Uchiha Yugao was a very proud woman, especially after becoming a mother. She rarely made any advances towards him, which is why Uchiha Kakuyama was somewhat puzzled.

After Uchiha Kakuyama nestled into her arms and buried her face in his chest, rubbing against him like a kitten, Yugao Uzuki replied:

"It's nothing, it's just that this mission has been going on for too long, and I've been missing you a bit."

Uchiha Kakuzan knew something about Uzuki Yugao's mission this time. After stroking her long purple hair, he asked:

"What's wrong? Wasn't the mission to the Land of Iron going smoothly?"

Hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uzuki Yugao shook her head in his arms and responded in a muffled voice:

"No, not really. Although that old man Mifune is a bit stubborn and his swordsmanship is not bad, he became obedient after I knocked him down using only my swordsmanship."

Upon hearing Uzuki Yugao's words, Uchiha Akio raised an eyebrow in surprise before replying:

"That guy Mifune is a master of Iaijutsu, and the number one swordsman in the Land of Iron. I didn't expect my Yugao to be so powerful, able to defeat him with just swordsmanship. Your swordsmanship must be one of the best in the entire ninja world."

At this moment, Uzuki Yugao had already lifted her face from Uchiha Kakuyama's embrace. After hearing what he said, a very obvious smile appeared on her face. Finally, she tiptoed and gave him a big kiss on the cheek before saying:

"Actually, I know that if it weren't for Qiu Shanjun's all-out help, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current level. Half of my achievements today are thanks to Qiu Shanjun."

When Uzuki Yugao said this, her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Qiushan-kun, as if Qiushan-kun was her whole world.

Hearing Uzuki Yugao's words, Uchiha Kakuzan gently stroked her upturned nose twice before smiling and saying:

"What is our relationship? Why are you being so polite with me?"

In my opinion, the best reward for me is seeing you all soar higher and higher, realizing your own value.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uzuki Yugao could no longer hold back. A deep red blush appeared on her pretty face. She closed her eyes and slowly kissed Kakuyama.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Kakuzan? What are you doing here?"

Just as Uzuki Yugao was about to kiss Okayama-kun, a teasing voice suddenly came from not far away.

Uzuki Yugao was very alert, and the moment that voice came out, she jumped out of Uchiha Kakuyama's arms like a cat with its fur standing on end, and in an instant she was on the edge of the rooftop, several meters away from him.

Upon hearing this voice, Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at Uzuki Yugao, whose face was flushed red, and finally turned away helplessly to look at the uninvited guest.

Chapter 486: Mei Terumi's Invitation

Tap tap tap tap

As the footsteps drew closer, the uninvited guest finally appeared.

Looking at Mei Terumi's mocking expression, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head helplessly and said:

"Meimei, didn't you go back to rest either?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Terumi Mei first glanced at Uzuki Yugao not far away, then at Uchiha Kakuzan in front of her, and said with a hint of resentment:

"Some heartless person acted as if they didn't know me. They didn't even come over to greet me while I was watching the game."

"In that case, of course I have to come and see what's going on."

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to say something, Uzuki Yugao, who was not far away, reacted. Knowing that the person in front of her had ruined her plans, she quickly took a few steps forward, holding her longsword, and formed a confrontational stance with Mei Terumi.

"As the head of the Anbu in Konoha, Qiu Shan-kun is one of the most powerful high-ranking officials in the village. You are the Mizukage of Kirigakure. If we come into contact with you, we should be careful about the impact."

At this point, Uzuki Yugao gripped her longsword tightly, her aura slowly rising and pressing down on the person before her.

"What? Do you think Akiyama-kun is in a passive position in Konoha Village?"

Uzuki Yugao was naturally aware of this confidante of Uchiha Kagakuyama.

However, since neither Mikoto nor Tsunade said anything, she didn't interfere. After all, Mei Terumi, as the Mizukage of Kirigakure, had very limited contact with them, so she didn't take it seriously. But she didn't expect to run into them today, especially under these circumstances.

Mei Terumi was also slightly taken aback by Yugao Uzuki's powerful aura, realizing that the person before her was not someone to be trifled with. A look of caution flashed in her eyes as she re-examined her before finally speaking:

"Purple hair, longsword, you must be the most famous Purple Asura of Konoha Village in the past two years, right?"

Originally, Mei Terumi only thought that this rather beautiful female ninja was just one of Akiyama-kun's little-known confidantes.

However, just by the aura she exuded that was not her own, Mei Terumi knew that this person was not simple. After quickly retrieving and comparing the information about Konoha Village over the past few years in her mind, she was able to guess her identity.

Because Uzuki Yugao usually wears a Shura mask when carrying out missions, coupled with her long purple hair and powerful strength, she is known as the Purple Shura.

No one expected that beneath that Shura mask lay such a beautiful face, which is why Uzuki Yugao wasn't recognized by Terumi Mei and the others when she was hosting the competition.

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's very serious question, Yugao Uzuki did not retract her imposing aura. She simply nodded and calmly replied:

"If you're talking about the person who carried out ten S-rank missions in a row and wiped out a small ninja village, then that must be me."

Uzuki Yugao wasn't particularly fond of the title "Purple Asura." Although she had heard of it to some extent, she didn't acknowledge it.

Upon hearing Yugao Uzuki's words, Mei Terumi's face broke into a smile, even ignoring Uchiha Kakuzan standing to the side, who chuckled and said:

"I've heard of the Purple Asura for a long time, but I never expected her to be such a beautiful person."

At this point, Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she took out a scroll from her person and threw it directly at Yugao Uzuki.

Under Yugao's questioning gaze, Mei Terumi chuckled twice before speaking:

"I believe my sister also knows about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from our Hidden Mist Village. They are famous not only because of their own strength, but also because our Hidden Mist Village is quite good at making ninja swords."

However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's swords are of paramount importance, and even as the Mizukage of Kirigakure, I cannot give them away.

The item I just gave to my sister, though not as famous as theirs, is a truly exceptional knife.

Only a ninja sword of this caliber is worthy of my sister's exceptional skill.

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Yugao Uzuki's eyes flickered slightly. Holding the scroll in her hand, she neither put it away nor returned it directly. Instead, she frowned slightly and asked:

"I will not accept this item unless you state your purpose."

Of course, Uzuki Yugao knew just how exaggeratedly a good weapon could enhance the strength of a master swordsman.

Leaving aside others, take the legendary White Fang of Konoha. The short sword he wields, named White Fang, is a treasure passed down through generations of the Hatake clan. If White Fang didn't have that weapon, he probably wouldn't have achieved such great fame.

However, a strong person would not put themselves in a passive position just because of a weapon.

Moreover, Uzuki Yugao was very confident that as long as she asked, Akiyama-kun would definitely find her an even better weapon.

Upon hearing Yugao Uzuki's words, Mei Terumi paused slightly, smoothed her hair, and then continued:

“Our two villages are on very good terms now. If my sister wants to go to Kirigakure as an exchange ninja for a period of time, I would be very happy to welcome her.”

When Uzuki Yugao heard Terumi Mei's words, her heart stirred slightly.

Uzuki Yugao was quite clear about the exchange of ninjas.

Because the two villages were on good terms, the exchange of ninjas was done partly to ensure smooth cooperation in the future and partly to allow each other to learn from each other's strengths.

After becoming an exchange ninja, one will temporarily waive their duties in their own village and go to the other village to serve as an instructor for one to two years.

This was a groundbreaking attempt among the various ninja villages, largely due to Uchiha Kakuzan. It was because of his role as a buffer that the two Kage, Mei Terumi and Tsunade, were able to make this attempt.

Seeing the expression on Uzuki Yugao's face across from her, Terumi Mei knew she was somewhat tempted, so she added:

“Of course, Yugao should also know about my relationship with Akiyama-kun. We don’t need to be so formal. Even if you don’t want to go to our Kirigakure, this little thing is just a greeting gift. There’s no need to feel burdened.”

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Yugao Uzuki's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she spoke:

"I need to report this matter to the Hokage."

Chapter 487 Comfort

Although Uzuki Yugao was somewhat surprised by Terumi Mei's invitation, she accepted it after a moment's thought.

Because in her heart, besides the most important Uchiha Kakuyama and her child, the pursuit of swordsmanship was what she loved most.

In Kirigakure, a village where bloodline limit families are the main fighting force, the fact that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were able to emerge shows that there are many of these Seven Ninja Swordsmen in their village, and they must be quite formidable.

Furthermore, Uzuki Yugao was also somewhat interested in the various ways the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist used them, which is why she agreed.

Mei Terumi was delighted that Yugao Uzuki had agreed to her request. After giving Uchiha Kakuyama a somewhat resentful look, she tactfully said:

"Alright, since my sister has already agreed, I won't get in someone's way here anymore."

After Mei Terumi finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Originally, Mei Terumi was waiting here because she wanted to get intimate with Akiyama-kun when no one was around, but she didn't expect to run into Yugao Uzuki and Akiyama-kun getting intimate on the rooftop.

Since there were other people present, Mei Terumi felt a little embarrassed and simply left.

Just then, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to remember something and said to Terumi Mei, who was about to leave:

"Meimei, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Terumi Mei paused, and said in a somewhat teasing tone:

"What's wrong? Does Qiushan-kun want to be intimate with me in front of Xiyan-mei?"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head with a dark expression and explained:

"Meimei, I already saw Yugao earlier, and I've taken his things. Please withdraw his arrest warrant."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Mei Terumi's expression turned serious, and her eyes even showed a hint of sharpness.

"Yu Gao? That bastard who killed his master? What? You want to plead for him?"

The Jinchūriki in each village are already under close surveillance, let alone this Utakata, who killed his master and then defected from the village. Naturally, Mei Terumi wouldn't have a good impression of him.

Utakata was lucky, because Kirigakure had been in chaos for the past few years, and the villagers didn't care much about him, which is why he wasn't caught by the people of Kirigakure.

Moreover, given what he had done before, if he were really captured and brought back to Kirigakure, there would only be two possible outcomes: either the tailed beast would be extracted from his body, or he would die a violent death.

It means imprisoning him for life, making him live directly as a vessel for the tailed beast.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head slightly upon hearing Mei Terumi's words and explained:

"As far as I know, that guy named Yu Gao is actually quite kind-hearted, and he didn't kill his master intentionally."

He accidentally killed his master because the tailed beast went berserk.

Now that I've removed the tailed beast from him, he's basically worthless. You should just withdraw the arrest warrant for him.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Terumi Mei's expression softened slightly, and she said:

“Actually, I’ve also looked at Yu Gao’s file before, and I had some doubts about how he killed his master and defected. But if you combine that with your explanation, it makes sense.”

Mei Terumi valued Uchiha Kakuzan's suggestion highly, not only because he was her man, but also because Uchiha Kakuzan's existence was indeed of great help to Kirigakure.

Moreover, not long ago, Kirigakure captured the Three-Tails and brought it back to Kirigakure. Kirigakure can never repay this favor alone.

Therefore, after hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, Mei Terumi frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and then nodded and said:

"Since Mr. Qiushan has said so, then I will withdraw the warrant for Yugao's arrest."

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw that Terumi Mei had agreed, a smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, Mei Terumi suddenly took a few steps closer to Uchiha Kakuyama, a look of anticipation appearing on her face.

"So, if that's the case, then Mr. Qiu has already subdued the Six-Tails. Could you please return it to our Hidden Mist Village?"

After speaking, Mei Terumi winked playfully, exuding a captivating charm.

Uchiha Kakuzan had anticipated what Terumi Mei was going to say, so he immediately replied after she finished speaking:
