Yūgao Uzuki listened to Uchiha Sora's words and felt that the person before her was so unfamiliar.
"Sora! You are already very powerful now. You can even conquer a small nation, and even Hokage-sama has to be wary of you. Why are you still so obsessed with pursuing power?" Yūgao Uzuki was very puzzled. Pursuing power was fine; everyone liked power, but to leave the Village and companions for the sake of power—she could not accept this kind of Sora.
Uchiha Sora sighed slightly. Looking at Yūgao Uzuki's reddened beautiful eyes, he gently raised his hand, stroked her jade-like cheek, and said softly, "Yūgao, it seems you cannot understand me either!"
"I..." Yūgao Uzuki's eyes struggled. Looking at Uchiha Sora's face, which was within arm's reach, her pretty face could not help but turn slightly red.
In her heart, there seemed to be a voice calling out to her: Agree with him! Agree with him! That way, you two can be together! Don't worry about Konoha Village anymore! Don't go back! Just follow him forever and stay by his side like this!
However, Yūgao Uzuki immediately shook her head, forcing herself to wake up: No! I must never let Sora continue down this path! The road of pursuing power will only make him surrounded by enemies everywhere. I must stop him and make him return to Konoha!
But looking at Uchiha Sora's young, handsome, and determined face, a sense of powerlessness arose in her heart.
How could she make Sora change his mind?
At this moment, Uchiha Sora had already withdrawn his palm, a look of regret on his face as he said, "Yūgao, let's talk about your purpose in coming to find me. You must have come with a mission from Konoha, right?"
Yūgao Uzuki sighed, took out an encrypted scroll from her clothes, handed it to Uchiha Sora, and said, "This is an intelligence scroll that Third Hokage wanted me to deliver to you. It contains urgent information you need right now."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora frowned slightly. With a thought, he immediately contacted Pakura, who was brought back by Edo Tensei, and told her to come over.
Before long, Pakura, having received the message, arrived before Uchiha Sora.
"Leader!" Pakura bowed respectfully to Uchiha Sora.
"Open this scroll and take a look for me," Uchiha Sora instructed.
"Yes!" Pakura replied, taking the scroll, and cast a curious glance at Yūgao Uzuki, whose eyes were slightly red.
As a woman, she could tell at a glance that this purple-haired female Anbu from Konoha seemed to have some kind of special relationship with the leader...
However, the leader's personal affairs were naturally not something she could concern herself with. She was just curious for a moment, then meticulously executed Uchiha Sora's order.
Yūgao Uzuki looked at the incoming Pakura. Although she was a reanimated body of Edo Tensei, her rather perfect figure made Yūgao Uzuki knit her delicate brows slightly.
Are even the subordinates of Edo Tensei such beauties?
Sora, what exactly are you thinking?
Yūgao felt secretly dissatisfied, even feeling that Uchiha Sora's personality had developed some issues.
Playing with the dead was one thing, but to actually toy with such top-tier beautiful corpses!
If Uchiha Sora knew Yūgao's thoughts at this moment, he would probably be depressed enough to vomit blood and would give her a flick on the forehead!
Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, Pakura had already opened the encrypted scroll and finished reading the information inside.
Her expression immediately turned serious as she said to Uchiha Sora, "Leader, there is no problem with the scroll. It is indeed an intelligence report. The report shows that a unit from the Land of Earth has crossed the border and entered the territory of the Land of Grass. It seems they are preparing to launch a surprise attack on our Grass Ninja Village!"
Uchiha Sora also frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Because the intelligence agency had not yet been established and the Grass Ninja Village's original intelligence department was currently operating slowly, he basically did not know about the movements of other forces.
It was not surprising that the Land of Earth wanted to launch a surprise attack on him. What really concerned him was that his intelligence department had to be established more quickly, otherwise, he would be very passive when encountering trouble.
This time, there was a tip-off from Konoha Village, but what about next time?
Although even without this information, the Land of Earth would not be able to break through the Grass Ninja Village guarded by him, it would certainly cause him a lot of trouble.
Thinking about these problems, Uchiha Sora said to Yūgao Uzuki, "I can probably understand why Third Hokage passed this information to me in advance. You go back and tell him that this intelligence delivery can be counted as a bargaining chip for future negotiations!"
Yūgao was stunned, "Negotiations?"
"It seems you don't know yet that there will be a negotiation between me and Konoha," Uchiha Sora said. "However, this matter has not been finalized, so it is normal that you don't know."
"Oh, alright." Yūgao was still thinking about how to bring Uchiha Sora back, and nodded in a daze.
But immediately, she woke up and shook her head resolutely, "Sora, I cannot go back now!"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you need to go back to report?" Uchiha Sora asked curiously.
Yūgao Uzuki said, "If you want me to relay a message, I can use a carrier pigeon to send it back, but I must stay here now!"
"Heh, little girl, don't you know that staying in the Grass Ninja Village is a very dangerous thing right now?" Pakura on the side suddenly chuckled and said, "A young little Anbu like you has probably never experienced an S-rank mission, right? Staying here, you could die at any moment!"
"Is that so? But it is precisely because it is dangerous that I will stay!" Yūgao stared at Pakura and said word for word, "Your leader and I were teammates from the very beginning. Since it is dangerous here, I have no reason to abandon my teammate and leave!"
"Hehe! What courage!" Pakura smiled and glanced at Yūgao Uzuki, then looked at Uchiha Sora with profound meaning. A pleasant arc could not help but appear at the corner of her mouth as she couldn't help but say, "Leader, I always thought you only had followers like Zabuza under your command. I didn't expect there to be a little Anbu from Konoha Village too!"
"Pakura, you talk too much!" Uchiha Sora glared at her.
"Sorry, Leader, I'll go arrange things right now!"
Pakura said with a smile and turned to leave.
But because of the Edo Tensei, Uchiha Sora could still sense Pakura's gossiping mindset right now.
Seeing Pakura twisting her waist as she left, Yūgao said to Uchiha Sora, "Sora, the Forbidden Technique has risks. When you use Edo Tensei, have you never considered what to do if the people you reanimate lose control?"
"Moreover, how can you grasp the thoughts of these dead people? These dead people might even turn around and bewitch you, making you make mistakes..."
Hearing this, Uchiha Sora couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He raised his hand and flicked Yūgao on the forehead, "Don't have wild thoughts! Although the technique has risks, the risks are controllable! Even if they break free from my control, I can seal them all back! Alright, since you want to stay, then stay. I will have someone arrange a place for you to live!"
