The Anbu Let Loose in Private

Sakura pretended to be drunk.

Yugao then turned around and started drinking with Shino. They were drinking stronger sake, and while drinking, they played a game similar to rock-paper-scissors but that required the use of Chakra and Taijutsu skills, calling out drinking rules one after another.

Sakura was truly amazed by how skilled the high-level ninjas were.

She's now a member of the Anbu, placing her among the mid-to-high-ranking ninjas. She never knew what these high-ranking Chunin Jonin were like in private before, but now that they're on her side, she's finally witnessed their unrestrained behavior after completing their daily missions...

However, she should have expected this. Kakashi was still wandering around with a pornographic book!

The Anbu Guard is constantly engaged in fighting and killing, or carrying out extremely tedious and arduous missions, which puts them under immense psychological pressure. They are not Puritans or ascetics; without a proper way to relax and release their stress, they would likely have become mentally unstable long ago, let alone possess the Will of Fire.

That's why Shino enjoys scaring newcomers, and Yugao, after getting to know them better, also shows a nasty penchant for teasing her juniors.

Everyone's had a tough time. We finally have a cute newbie, so of course we have to have some fun with her...

"Ugh, damn it, I lost again!" Yugao angrily downed two cups of sake in quick succession.

At the beginning of the game, they focused on Taijutsu, Yugao clearly had the advantage, winning more often than losing. Seeing that he couldn't win, Shino started using Genjutsu, and the game immediately tilted completely in Shino's favor.

However, the Taijutsu prowess displayed by the two in the game was something Sakura couldn't match. Although her Taijutsu were strong, they were all supported by the immense Monstrous Strength Technique and speed brought by Cherry Blossom Impact, as well as her extremely fast reaction speed. If she were to play this game with the two senior members of the Anbu, she would probably lose miserably—unless she used Cherry Blossom Impact to cheat.

At this moment, Yugao's eyes darted around and her gaze fell on Sakura Haruno, who was sitting quietly in the corner, eating grilled meat and watching them drink, pretending to be invisible.

"Hey, girl, why aren't you saying anything?" The woman chuckled seductively, shifted her hips closer to the girl, reached out her left hand, wrapped it around the girl's waist, and pulled her into her bosom.

Hmm, put it in...

The girl was instantly dumbfounded. "Uh... Sister Yugao, what are you doing!"

"Not talking, not drinking, and just eating alone at the table is unsociable, you know~" The half-drunk woman drawled, her voice carrying a seductive, intoxicating quality, "You'll have to drink three cups as punishment! Come on, give me a smile~!"

"Sister Yugao, you're drunk...!" Sakura was pulled into someone else's arms, curled up into a ball, and the woman's delicate pointed chin pressed down on her head, making her tremble instantly!

Ignoring Sakura's protests, Yugao asked to herself, "Do you want sake or beer?"

"Uh, no sake, just beer!" the girl said hurriedly. She could still drink, though it was just about forcing her to drink!

"No, you can only choose sake."

"Wow, you still want me to choose!" Sakura thought to herself. "Sake it is then," the girl reached for the sake, thinking that she just needed to finish it quickly to appease Yugao; being held like this... was too awkward!

However, Uzuki Yugao, who has now been promoted to queen, is not so easy to deal with...

She slapped the girl's hand away, took a sip of sake, and held it in her mouth. "Sakura, you've got it wrong, it's this you're drinking..."

Sakura's eyes widened instantly, and she flailed her arms and legs as she looked at the man sitting calmly at the table. "Shino, save me!"

Ito Shino smiled without saying a word...

How could Shino possibly stop a beautiful woman from flirting with another girl when he could enjoy such a wonderful sight!

Besides, if he tried to stop Yugao at this moment, Ming would probably be chased down and hacked to pieces by her.

"Sorry, Tobi, although you are very strong, at the dinner table, it's not about fighting power, but about momentum! As a junior, it's normal to be overwhelmed by the momentum of a senior. You're still too green! If you can't fight back, just enjoy it." Shino thought to himself.

"Don't move!" Yugao held the girl down.

Pop!

Sakura Haruno felt a cool sensation on her face as a drop of sake slid down her cheek.

"Pop~" It turned out to be the female ninja's lips opening and closing, making a "pop pop" kissing sound.

"Haha, I'm so shy, I'm so shy!" She laughed out loud, completely lacking any class.

"Hahaha!" Shino laughed without any restraint.

Sakura wiped the wine off her face and rolled her eyes at the two of them.

The dinner party didn't last too late, since we still had tasks to complete tomorrow.

When it was over, Sakura breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Phew~~ I'm finally free!

This was the first time she had ever been in such a situation, being teased by a beautiful woman.

And yet, there's no way to retaliate!

After all, she's a senior, and it's not a fight. You can't hit her, and you don't know how to refuse.

For a moment, I didn't know how to react, so I could only silently endure it—if not enjoy it—like a wronged wife.

She was a virgin in her past life, and in this life she mostly interacts with girls around her age. When she's with girls her age, her aura and her reputation are there, and no one dares to joke around with her like that. As for Hinata, Ino, and others, they are not girls with this kind of queenly personality.

So she's really not good at dealing with such enthusiastic, mature women.

If you add in intimate flirting, it becomes even more unbearable.

Is Uzuki Yugao's personality just like that because she's been drinking, or is she just naturally enthusiastic around people she knows well?

On the way back, she kept thinking about it.

The next day, we gathered at sunrise.

The morning glow hadn't yet faded, and there was a purplish-red cloud on the side.

The three, dressed neatly, arrived at the stage on time.

Sakura was still wearing yesterday's black bodysuit, with a sleeveless vest over it. She wore white elbow pads and black gloves on her bare arms, and her face was covered by her cat-face mask.

Unlike most ninjas, she rarely carried ninja tool pouches or had throwing star sheaths strapped to her thighs. Apart from a few scrolls in her vest pocket, her hands were basically empty, making her look very clean and tidy.

This is because she rarely uses ninja tools in battle; even in hand-to-hand combat, she mostly uses her Monstrous Strength Technique with her fists. When she really needs to use ninja tools, she can easily use Ice Release to conjure ice Kunai and ice shuriken.

The hardness of ice increases as the temperature decreases. In extremely cold conditions, such as around minus fifty degrees Celsius, pure water freezes into ice, and under natural conditions, its hardness is no less than that of steel. Therefore, even without infusing Chakra, they are still excellent ninja tools.

Of course, it must be admitted that one important reason she tried to use ninja tools as little as possible was to save money...

Compared to Sakura Haruno, who embraces minimalism and is completely naked from head to toe, Shino and Yugao are fully armed: in addition to the essential waist pouches and thigh leather sheaths stuffed with ninja tools, the two also carry a long sword on their backs, and their vest pockets are filled with various scrolls.

The two glanced at Sakura Haruno curiously, wondering why she wasn't carrying any ninja tools, but remained silent.

When carrying out missions in the Anbu, their style is to remain as silent as possible.

Do not ask questions about matters unrelated to the mission.

Sakura is Chunin has experienced many battles, so there's a reason for her attire. Now is not the time to ask questions.

The captain gave a brief introduction to the mission: it was a patrol mission located somewhere north of Konoha, where intelligence indicated that Sound Ninja had previously appeared.

This could be a combat mission, but more likely it will end in nothing.

The enemy might just be passing through, after all, the Sound Ninja's stronghold is nearby, in the border region a little further north.

The Squad 14's task is to patrol the areas where traces of the Sound Ninja have been discovered, searching for possible Sound Ninja gathering points or movements.

However, Shino also stated that it was too close to Konoha to be a Sound Ninja base.

After the mission was explained, Yugao and Ying nodded silently, and then the three of them began their journey in silence.

Sakura's first mission with the Anbu began.
