A Letter from the Clan

The next morning, Yemo had fallen asleep the night before and was half asleep until dawn. The sunlight shone through the window and into his eyes, so bright that he couldn't help but raise his hand to shield his Yemo, and all his sleepiness vanished.

After washing up, Yemo went downstairs, but his older sister was nowhere to be seen. There was breakfast prepared on the table, with a piece of white paper next to it.

Yemo reached for the white paper, which contained a message from his older sister. It essentially said that she had gone out on a mission and told him to stay home for the next couple of days and not cause trouble. She also mentioned that the matter from last night wasn't over and she would settle accounts with him when she returned.

"Really..."

With a helpless wry smile, Yemo tossed the piece of white paper in his hand onto the table, sat down to eat breakfast, and just as Yemo took a bite, the doorbell rang outside the courtyard.

Yemo paused, puzzled, and stood up to walk towards the door, muttering, "Who's knocking so early in the morning?"

When Yemo changed his shoes and went outside, the person who rang the doorbell was nowhere to be seen. Looking around, Yemo thought it was some little kid playing a prank, but his eyes inadvertently fell on a half-open envelope sticking out of the mailbox by the door.

Yemo gave a soft "hmm," walked over with a suspicious look, took out a white envelope, and wondered where this letter came from. Was it delivered to the wrong address? To be honest, Yemo hadn't received any letters since arriving in Konoha, and Yemo really couldn't imagine who would send them a letter.

The envelope was completely blank on one side. Yemo flipped it over, and his expression instantly changed, becoming extremely serious, as if he had seen something of utmost importance.

The other side of the envelope was completely blank; there was no signature, no address, only a red vortex mark belonging to the Uzumaki Clan. This was the reason for Yemo's drastic change in expression.

"How could it be a letter from the clan?" Yemo was puzzled as he flipped through the envelope in his hand. Since he came to Konoha, he had long lost contact with the clan. He and his older sister had never received any greetings from the clan, nor had they ever been given any living expenses. It was as if they had been abandoned and left to depend on each other for survival in Konoha.

Therefore, Yemo had no sense of belonging to the so-called Uzumaki Clan. He thought he had forgotten about the Uzumaki Clan and would probably never have any contact with them again in this life. But unexpectedly, a letter from the Uzumaki Clan suddenly arrived today.

Thinking this, Yemo snorted coldly and muttered disdainfully to himself, "They seem to forget about us when there's nothing wrong, but come looking for us when they need something. Do they think we're servants they can just dismiss at will?"

Without even looking at the contents, Yemo could roughly guess what it said. Something must have happened to the Uzumaki Clan Konoha clan, and they needed to do something. Otherwise, why would those old guys who hadn't been in contact with them suddenly remember the two Uzumaki Clan members who had been stranded in Konoha Village?

With a cold snort, Yemo's face was full of disdain. He was already thinking of them now. Those old guys were really shameless. He had already seen through the shamelessness of those old guys when he was in the Uzumaki Clan.

Yemo was about to casually throw the envelope into the nearby trash can, but after thinking about it, Yemo withdrew his hand. Looking at the envelope, Yemo was very curious about what had happened to the Uzumaki Clan that would make those old guys think of the two of them.

Back in his room, Yemo lost his appetite for breakfast. He pushed the breakfast aside and tore open the envelope along the markings of the Uzumaki Clan's emblem.

Inside the envelope was only a blank sheet of paper. Yemo lifted the paper and saw four large characters written in an unknown liquid as red as blood.

"Our clan is in danger! Return immediately!"

Looking at these four large characters, Yemo subconsciously tapped the table with his middle finger, a gesture he often made when thinking. This was a message he would send when the Yemo Uzumaki Clan faced the crisis of annihilation.

These four simple characters, requiring no further description, are enough to indicate that the Uzumaki Clan is currently at a critical juncture of life and death.

However, Yemo wasn't thinking about what crisis the Uzumaki Clan was facing, or what force wanted to destroy Uzumaki Clan. What Yemo was really thinking about was whether he should go back or not.

To be honest, Yemo didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Uzumaki Clan, because he was completely disappointed in those old guys who abandoned their people for their own ambitions. So Yemo didn't want to live there, and he went to great lengths to come to Konoha.

However, the ordinary members of the Uzumaki Clan are innocent, and many of them are kind. When Yemo was living alone in the Uzumaki Clan, he received help from many people, so Yemo was very grateful to them.

"My older sister definitely can't go. It doesn't matter whether I tell her or not, but should I go or not?" Yemo was torn between two choices.

My older sister is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and under normal circumstances, she should never leave Konoha. Even if she goes out on a mission, she will be accompanied by a powerful figure and protected by the Anbu in secret. As for going to get involved in the crisis of the Uzumaki Clan, Yemo can imagine that no one in the Konoha High Command would agree to it.

Yemo hesitated, wanting to go but also not wanting to go. He didn't want to go because he didn't want to see those old guys, but he wanted to go because he was, after all, reborn into the Uzumaki Clan. Now that the Uzumaki Clan was in trouble, it would be reasonable for him, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, to do his part.

However, Yemo felt that the current crisis of annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan was far from simple. As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Yemo was familiar with some of the Uzumaki Clan secrets.

"Forget it, let's think about it some more. Since the clan has sent out a distress signal, it means the crisis has only just begun. Those old guys must have received some information and are starting to prepare now," Yemo said softly, looking at the envelope in his hand, and casually tossed it onto the table.

This is not something he can decide on his own; he also needs to ask his older sister's opinion. Unfortunately, his sister is away on a mission these days, so he can only wait for her to return.

After finishing his breakfast and cleaning up, Yemo walked out the door and headed to the training ground.

However, when Yemo arrived at the training ground, he found that it had already been occupied by some kids who were playing games. Among them was Ayame. When Yemo saw Ayame standing with her hands on her hips, giving orders, his lips twitched involuntarily. Without a doubt, it must have been Ayame who brought them here; only she knew about this place.

"I should have known better than to let her pester me and bring her along," Yemo thought regretfully.

Ayame also spotted Yemo and waved excitedly, calling out, "Brother Yemo, what brings you here?"

Seeing Ayame jogging over, Yemo suppressed his frustration and said with a smile, "I just came back from a mission, and I was planning to practice today."

Hearing that Yemo wanted to use the training ground, Ayame said sadly, "Is that so? If Brother Yemo wants to practice, then we'll have to leave."

Having finally found a place where no one could disturb them, they now had to leave. Ayame was depressed and somewhat sad.

Seeing Ayame's heartbroken expression, Yemo dared not suggest they leave. He waved his hands and said, "No need, you can play here for now. I'm going to practice launching ninja tools in the dense forest today."

"Thank you, Brother Yemo!"

Hearing that she didn't have to leave, Ayame was overjoyed. She pounced on Yemo kissed him, but then, realizing something was amiss, she ran away shyly.

Yemo was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He reached out and touched the lingering warmth on his cheek. Yemo smiled wryly. He had actually been kissed by a little girl who was only a few years old.

Swish...

With a Body Flicker Technique, by the time Ayame turned around, Yemo had already disappeared from the grass and reappeared in the dense forest.

Today, Yemo practiced his Chakra control. During his battles with Killer B and that Jonin, Yemo discovered that he had significant shortcomings in Chakra control. It might not be very noticeable in normal times, but it could determine the outcome of a battle.
