Kiyoshi sat down, his eyes flashing slightly, observing every detail of the room.
After confirming there were no surveillance cameras or listening devices, he slowly reached for the menu.
Kacha!
The door that had just closed was pushed open.
"Here's the menu."
Seeing his sister leading someone, Atsui diligently picked up a menu and entered the private room to hand it to Kiyoshi.
The shop, themed around sushi, naturally offered various to types of sushi.
Besides ninjutsu and Kekkei genkais, the Land of Lightning also has many delicacies from other countries, which were brought over during their travels.
These made the cuisine of the Land of Lightning diverse, making it easy to infiltrate other countries under the guise of restaurants, acting as informants.
Other countries also had many such informants infiltrating the Land of Lightning. Basically, all major countries infiltrate each other.
Kiyoshi said, "For now, bring these."
"Okay, sir."
Atsui nodded.
He took the menu, and started to walk back, when he suddenly heard Kiyoshi calling him.
"You enrolled in ninja school this semester, right?"
"…Yes."
Atsui glanced at his sister's expression and, seeing that she didn't show any particular reaction, he quickly nodded.
"Samui, your younger brother is both smart and hardworking. He might be even more outstanding than his older sister in the future." Kiyoshi said.
"Haha, no way."
Atsui smiled upon hearing Kiyoshi 's praise.
He knew that other compatriots were trying to get Kiyoshi back home. Being praised by someone of such extraordinary status made him feel pleased.
Unlike her brother's happiness, Samui felt a tightening in her heart.
She opened her rosy lips, her tone slightly uneasy.
"My foolish brother has only just enrolled."
Then Samui told Atsui to quickly go out and report what Kiyoshi had ordered to the kitchen, telling him not to stay here.
Atsui had no choice but to leave first.
Samui felt that Kiyoshi had bad intentions. She hadn't forgotten the time Kiyoshi had used Atsui to pressure her before.
"Is that so?"
Kiyoshi paused and continued, "I've already learned all the ninjutsu from before. So give me some new Lightning Release ninjutsu."
Kiyoshi, as always, chose to be a freeloader.
His merits were insufficient, and the ninjutsu he could choose in the Uchiha clan were limited, so he mainly chose genjutsu and Fire Release ninjutsu.
As for the Land of Lightning, it was naturally the best place for Lightning Release ninjutsu.
The more skills one had, the better. Kiyoshi didn't mind having more techniques.
Samui lowered her head and gently touched the summoning tag on her wrist.
After a faint mist dissipated, a yellow scroll with a lightning bolt drawn on it appeared.
"I can give it to you, but the people you used to know all want to see you…"
Samui wanted Kiyoshi to accompany her to a certain place where there were many people Kiyoshi knew from childhood.
Kiyoshi's delay in expressing his intention to return to Kumogakure had made Samui anxious.
It would be fine for her, but if her brother is also punished by the village, it will be troublesome.
"That won't be necessary. The ninja world has not been peaceful lately, so it's best not to move around."
Kiyoshi shook his head and refused.
Did they think he was a fool?
If he wasn't a transmigrator, he might have fallen for these emotional appeals.
As someone who had lived two lives, how could he believe such nonsense?
"However, I can tell you some information about Konoha."
Kiyoshi's smile didn't diminish as he changed the subject and revealed some information.
What he said were all insignificant tidbits, such as Konoha having a stronghold in a certain place, the number of people stationed there, etc.
Although they weren't groundbreaking information, they were enough to pique Samui's interest.
Blindly taking things without doing anything in return is short-sighted.
A person's patience is limited, and Kiyoshi wanted to have a long-term relationship.
Sure enough, Samui's eyes lit up when she heard this information.
Even if they could infiltrate Konoha, they could only do so as civilians.
Many truly secret things were only known to ninja clans.
Wasn't this attitude showing Kiyoshi's change in heart?
If things continue like this, she should be able to get Kiyoshi back to the Land of Lightning, right?
Kiyoshi is starting to reveal information about Konoha.
Doesn't this mean that Kiyoshi isn't as loyal to Konoha as she had previously thought?
However, before Samui could continue to imagine, she heard Kiyoshi suddenly knocking on the table.
"But, secret information and a ninjutsu are a bit unequal. I need you to do me a favor."
For ninjas, information is very important. It can decide the victory or defeat of a battle, the outcome of a war between countries.
Kiyoshi sized up Samui. The sweater couldn't hide the arc of her large breasts, which looked very prominent.
Even from the side, he could see Samui's voluptuous curves.
Her small belly was slightly raised, but it didn't look cumbersome at all.
Overall, it was aesthetically pleasing, giving off a mature woman's charm.
Paired with Samui's indifferent expression, Kiyoshi found it increasingly contrasting.
"What… do you mean?"
Samui pursed her lips, not understanding why Kiyoshi kept pursuing her.
Could a moment of inadvertent words make Kiyoshi hold a grudge for so long?
Feeling Kiyoshi's gaze, an absurd thought appeared in her mind. She had this thought last time.
The current situation intensified her thought.
Heavens!
Kiyoshi is actually interested in women much older than him…
"Last time, I discussed some routes of the Lightning chakra with you. This time, I want to go deeper. How about I let you understand the circulation of Lightning chakra in my chakra pathway system? That way, you can choose a more suitable Lightning Release ninjutsu for me."
Kiyoshi smiled slightly. The smile was neither warm nor malicious, but it made Samui feel a chill.
This guy really had bad intentions towards her.
"What, you're not willing?"
Kiyoshi's tone turned colder.
He gave off the air of not even wanting the scroll and leaving directly.
"…It's not that. We can continue to discuss it."
If it were in the past, Samui definitely wouldn't have accepted Kiyoshi's request.
But Kiyoshi hadn't come to the sushi restaurant for a long time, and the village's pressure was making Samui breathless.
Especially since she had a younger brother who had just enrolled in ninja school.
She bit her lip, clenched the hem of her skirt, and took a few steps towards Kiyoshi.
"Not bad."
Two huge shadows were getting closer and closer to Kiyoshi, hanging not far from his face.
Originally, Kiyoshi had prepared many more words, but he didn't expect Samui to be unable to hold on and directly agree.
It seemed that the pressure from Kumogakure was more than he had imagined.
Through his previous small actions and the long-term high pressure of Kumogakure's mission, Samui was no longer so firm in her principles.
The poor flower, in order to survive, would take root step by step in the dark, hopeless land.
This was how Samui was now.
Having already seen the darkness once and compromised with the darkness, her tolerance for darkness had increased a lot.
If there's a first time, there will inevitably be a second time.
Hearing Kiyoshi's words of praise, Samui felt her cheeks burn.
This made it seem like she was impatient.
"First, go look under the table to see how big the space is."
