All her little actions were like childish tricks in his eyes.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside her, causing her to clench her fists, yet she didn't know how to fight back.
Su Hui ignored her little schemes. His immortal-level spirit had already spread like an invisible giant net, covering the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
With the system's scanning function working, everything in Konoha Village was now laid bare before Su Hui.
Inside the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was engaged in a heated discussion with Danzo Shimura and other high-ranking officials about the situation on the front lines, with smoke billowing from his pipe.
In the Root's underground base, ninjas, stripped of their emotions, undergo training and missions like machines.
In the Uchiha clan's territory, the clansmen's dissatisfaction with the village's higher-ups for deliberately excluding and depleting the Uchiha's strength during the war was brewing amidst constant arguments.
Deep within the Hyuga clan's courtyard, a young ninja from the branch family revealed his resentment and pain due to the "Caged Bird" curse mark on his forehead, a mark signifying eternal bondage.
War, conspiracy, hatred, ambition... countless emotions and information flooded into Su Hui's senses.
He was like a high and mighty god, looking down upon the tragicomedies that unfolded on this land.
suddenly,
A knowing smile curved his lips.
"Let's go. Now that we're in Konoha, we definitely have to have a bowl of ramen."
Su Hui changed direction, leading a somewhat bewildered Nohara Rin and a still wary Yuhi Kurenai, and after many twists and turns, arrived at a ramen shop with a sign that read "Ichiraku".
As you lift the curtain, a rich aroma of pork bone broth wafts out.
There was already one person sitting in the small shop.
One of the figures immediately caught Su Hui's full attention.
She was a young woman with long, bright red hair, an oval face, delicate features, and fair skin.
She was dressed in simple casual clothes, but they couldn't hide her stunning figure, especially the fabric that was stretched taut across her chest, which rose and fell slightly with her slurping of noodles, outlining a breathtaking curve.
now,
She was eating ramen without any regard for her image, her mouth stuffed full, her cheeks bulging, like an adorable hamster.
Uzumaki Kushina.
The wife of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and... Naruto's mother.
"Boss, three bowls of our signature ramen."
Su Hui casually sat down in the empty seat next to Kushina, while Kurenai and Rin Nohara sat somewhat reservedly on the other side.
Kushina was enjoying her meal when she noticed someone sitting down next to her, but she didn't pay any attention.
But soon, she felt an extremely aggressive gaze staring at her without any restraint.
That gaze seemed to penetrate her clothes, penetrate her flesh, and see right into the deepest secrets of her body.
Within Kushina's mental space, the giant fox—the Nine-Tailed Fox—which had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened its savage vertical pupils.
A shiver, stemming from its very life instinct, made all the fur on its body stand on end!
Danger!
Extremely dangerous!
What is this human?!
"Hey!"
Kushina finally noticed the undisguised gaze. She swallowed the noodles in her mouth, raised her head in dissatisfaction, and met Su Hui's deep eyes.
She raised her eyebrows, casually stretched her arms across her chest, further emphasizing her astonishing size, and said irritably, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before? Let me tell you, I already have someone I like, so don't get any funny ideas!"
Her carefree tone, coupled with her fierce appearance, exuded a natural arrogance and vitality. Far from being intimidating, it instead gave her a unique charm.
"Oh?"
Su Hui laughed, "I know, isn't he that blondie called 'Golden Flash'?"
Kushina's expression froze instantly.
Little blond guy?
Kushina stared at Su Hui with wide eyes, her expression one of disbelief.
She never expected anyone to use such a contemptuous term to refer to Minato Namikaze, considering that Minato was currently a star figure in Konoha.
A powerful ninja whom even his enemies respectfully call "The Yellow Flash."
"call out!"
Su Hui whistled, looking every bit the flirtation man.
Ignoring her astonished expression, he leaned forward slightly, blinked, and whispered in her ear in a magnetic tone:
"However, he's neither as handsome nor as strong as me. Why don't you consider dumping him and dating me?"
"I guarantee I'll be way more interesting than that kid who only knows how to throw knives."
These words, though flippant, carried an undeniable confidence.
Kushina's inner alarm bells rang loudly.
This guy is definitely not an ordinary person!
He knows Minato, yet he speaks of him in this tone; there's definitely something wrong with him!
On the surface, she remained calm and nonchalant, waving her hand dismissively: "Tch, you're nowhere near as handsome as Minato! I can't be bothered with you!"
finished,
She quickly finished the remaining noodle soup in her bowl, slapped the money on the table, and got up to leave.
This suspicious fellow must be reported to Lord Sandai immediately!
"Don't leave in a hurry."
Su Hui's voice rang out softly, as if it possessed some kind of magic, causing Kushina Mai's movements to freeze instantly.
She discovered that she couldn't move.
An invisible and terrifying pressure surged from all directions, as if sealing her inside solidified amber, making it impossible for her to move even a finger.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."
Su Hui's voice remained calm, as if he were simply stating a fact, "I'm just very curious about you. Whether it's your unique vortex bloodline or the big fox trapped inside you, I'm very interested in both."
He paused, then added, "So, could you give me a drop of your blood, and lend me a trace of that fox's chakra? I need to do some research."
Kushina's expression changed completely.
My own Vortex bloodline! Nine-Tails!
This guy... just how much does he know?!
This is the village's top secret!
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes as she tried to mobilize the chakra within her body, even if it meant drawing upon the power of the Nine-Tails, to break free from these constraints.
"I advise you not to move around."
Su Hui's voice turned cold, "Your chakra and that fox's power are meaningless in front of me. Resisting will only make you suffer."
at this time,
The owner of Ichiraku brought out three steaming bowls of ramen.
"Come on, eat."
Su Hui gestured with his lip towards Nohara Rin, who was already pale with fright, and Yuhi Kurenai, who had a solemn expression.
He picked up his chopsticks, took a slice of char siu, slowly put it in his mouth, and then looked back at Kushina, who was unable to move.
"Look, I just want to treat them to a bowl of noodles and chat with you. As long as you fulfill my small request, I'll let you leave immediately."
Su Hui's tone softened again, "Perfect, you can also inform your Hokage that I'm waiting for him here and have something to discuss with him."
He pointed to Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara, "You can ask them. I was very 'friendly' to them the whole way, and I even saved their lives."
Kushina struggled to turn her eyes and look at the two Konoha girls.
Kurenai's eyes were filled with complex emotions, including anger and resentment, but in the end, they turned into a trace of helplessness as she reluctantly nodded.
Nohara Rin nodded firmly, though with a hint of timidity.
Kushina understood.
This man possesses a power they cannot resist.
Rather than making a pointless sacrifice, it's better to temporarily comply with him and take the intelligence out.
The struggle in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by calm.
Seeing this, Su Hui smiled with satisfaction and withdrew the oppressive aura.
Kushina's body went limp, and she almost fell. She took a deep breath and steadied herself.
Without saying a word, she bit her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, wrapped it in chakra, and pushed it toward Su Hui.
Then,
A faint but pure red chakra, brimming with a violent aura, overflowed from her fingertips.
Su Hui flicked his finger, and the two items disappeared into thin air, being stored in his system space.
"Very well, you can go."
Kushina gave him a deep look, as if trying to etch his image into her heart, then turned and disappeared swiftly at the end of the street without pausing.
"Hey! Really don't you want to consider dating me? I'm way better than that blondie!" Su Hui's voice rang out behind her.
His response was a furious fist that Kushina swung from afar.
"Hey~"
Watching Kushina's disappearing figure, Su Hui withdrew his gaze and sighed.
"Indeed, women with hot bodies and fiery personalities are more appealing."
His unvarnished comment elicited different reactions from the two girls beside him.
Nohara Rin's cheeks flushed bright red in an instant, and she lowered her head, almost burying her face in the ramen bowl in front of her.
Kurenai glared at Su Hui, biting her lip and muttering, "You pervert!"
"That's called appreciation."
Su Hui corrected, "Just as you women like to look at strong men, it's only natural that men like to look at beautiful women."
He glanced at the sulking Kurenai Yuhi, then turned his gaze to Ichiraku Boss, who was engrossed in cooking noodles, seemingly oblivious to everything.
"Boss, I have a question for you."
While eating his noodles, Su Hui casually asked, "I remember there's a woman in Konoha named Tsunade, who's also my type. Is she in the village now?"
He paused for a moment while pounding the noodles, then replied without looking up, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know who you're talking about."
His voice was as steady as ever, devoid of any emotion.
Su Hui smiled and didn't mind, focusing on the ramen in his bowl.
have to say,
Ichiraku Ramen truly lives up to its reputation; the broth is rich and the noodles are chewy.
His decision to let Kushina leave was part of his plan.
Before long, the real leader of Konoha Village will come knocking on our door.
It's much more convenient for these Konoha high-ranking officials to come to him voluntarily than for him to go to them one by one.
By the time,
Only by capturing them all and completely controlling Konoha's leadership can subsequent plans proceed more effectively.
There are just too many "special products" in this world.
Various bloodline limits, bizarre ninjutsu, especially those forbidden techniques involving time, soul, resurrection and death, and the nine tailed beasts split from the energy of creation...
These are all excellent research materials.
