"Hozuki-san, Terumi-san, do either of you know what today's matter is about?"
Fuguki asked with a fawning expression.
He was a senior, a renowned Ninja Swordsman, a dominant force in the Anbu.
But now, he had to use honorifics even when addressing Meigetsu and his former subordinate, Mei. The changes wrought by the passage of time were truly unpredictable.
However, no one else found this strange.
"Yes, Mei, do you know what's going on today?" Yagura asked.
Under Sora's dominant leadership, Kirigakure had already become the top of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Not only in mission volume, but all aspects were experiencing rapid development.
On normal days, every Kirigakure's Ninja wished they could split themselves in two to handle the workload.
Yagura was the Fourth Mizukage in the original work, and Sora knew his capabilities.
Therefore, although many tasks were assigned to familiar subordinates like Fuguki and Yuzuki, Yagura, who joined midway, held significant weight.
Coupled with his pleasant appearance, relying on being small, harmless, and approachable to interact with others… Yagura had subtly become Kirigakure's second public face.
So, among the present group, Yagura should be the one least aware of what was about to happen.
However, since Yagura didn't know, then the others didn't know either.
Under Yagura's inquiry, Mei, Meigetsu, and Kurumi all shook their heads.
But after shaking their heads, Kurumi looked towards the front.
There, a girl with shark-like sharp teeth and a spiky hairstyle stood guarding the entrance with her sword. It was Ringo Ameyuri, appointed by Sora as a Mizukage's bodyguard.
"Ame-chan, do you know what's going on?" Kurumi asked.
Her form of address was very intimate.
Faced with Kurumi's question, even though Ameyuri was currently a Mizukage's bodyguard, she didn't dare be negligent.
After all, Kurumi was not only the next clan's head but also a 'Madam'.
Immediately, Ameyuri lowered her head: "Reporting to Kurumi-sama, I only know a little. It should be some kind of enhancement seal for everyone!"
"These past days, aside from being at home, Mizukage-sama has been researching this. It seems he has succeeded now!"
"Oh!" Kurumi nodded. Hearing Ameyuri mention 'at home', her cool, pretty face blushed slightly.
Now she knew why she was unaware.
After all, when they were at home, the three of them were constantly being 'defeated' together… either unconscious or on the verge of unconsciousness, eyes rolling back, tongues out, hands forming peace signs.
In that state, even if Sora had decided to conquer the Ninja World today, she wouldn't have known.
The same went for Mei and Meigetsu… they were in the same condition.
After Ameyuri's explanation, the atmosphere actually became somewhat awkward.
But the others didn't pay it much mind.
Instead, Yagura pressed excitedly: "An enhancement seal? Specifically?"
Although Yagura was also Kage-level, for Kirigakure's cultural atmosphere, one never had enough power boosts.
Now, under Sora's leadership, Kirigakure had merely restrained itself, no longer practicing the 'Bloody Mist' policy, but its external image was still very brutal.
Prompted by Yagura's question, the others also gathered around.
Seeing this, Ameyuri didn't dare delay. Although she didn't know much, she wanted to share everything she did know.
"It's like this. The seal has been named the [Blut] by Mizukage-sama. It is divided into..."
Ameyuri began to explain.
However, her explanation didn't last long.
After all, there were two Mizukage's bodyguards. While Ameyuri was receiving guests here, the other, Mangetsu, had already gone inside to inform Sora that everyone had arrived.
Therefore, Sora soon arrived at the scene.
Tap, tap, tap, tap!
The sound of clear, light footsteps echoed.
However, hearing these footsteps, the Kirigakure's members were very puzzled.
Because these footsteps were very unfamiliar.
Moreover, judging by the sound, the person walking wasn't very strong!
Everyone looked forward in confusion.
Then, a girl with an innocent, delicate aura, yet one that gave off a very approachable vibe, appeared before them!
Seeing the fierce-looking Kirigakure's Ninjas before her, especially the woman who had tortured her before, Rin trembled all over.
But even more frightening than that was the fear of failing to carry out Sora's orders.
Rin said tremulously: "M-Mizukage-sama requests your presence inside!"
Hearing Rin's words, Mei and the other two exchanged glances again, seeing gravity and frustration in each other's eyes.
These past few days, the three sisters were constantly being 'defeated'. They had considered finding help.
But if they took the initiative to find someone, wouldn't that be inviting a thief into their home?
The three never expected that it would be this little vixen, Nohara Rin, who suddenly appeared before them!
This was very aggravating!
'Sisters, we need to think of a way!'
Their eyes undoubtedly conveyed this thought.
However, the others were unaware of the three women's peculiar thoughts.
Faced with the clearly Konoha's Ninja Rin, although surprised, no one dared be negligent because of Sora.
After expressing their thanks, they followed Rin's lead into the laboratory!
