Yugito Nii Compromised, Her First Battle Was as a Cook, and the Secret of the Caged Bird Could No Longer Be Hidden

Seeing Choji's chubby face contorted in a grimace, Naruto smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ino said she specially commissioned a communicator, and I thought, how could I forget you for such a good thing? We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together!"

Choji had a million "mmp"s to say in his heart, but he didn't know where to begin.

Time passed day by day, and the time for Tsunade's departure drew ever closer. The villagers were busy preparing for the Sixth Hokage's inauguration; life was busy yet peaceful.

In the Bamboo Forest.

"Hey, how many people are there now?" Naruto suddenly looked up and asked Neji.

In the dense Bamboo Forest, Neji sat to one side, watching the branch Branch Family leave after releasing the Caged Bird. Hearing Naruto's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

It seems he has gone further and further down the path of betraying his original aspirations, and there is no turning back.

"Twelve," he said.

"That's about right, twelve. One more batch and we'll be almost done." Naruto stood up and stretched, the golden sunlight filtering through the bamboo grove and falling on him.

"Why do you look so worried?" Naruto asked, somewhat surprised, then glanced at Neji. "Look how happy they are. They're doing a good deed."

Neji remained silent, his expression complex.

"Alright, alright, great things don't concern themselves with trifles." Naruto gave him a shove. "Neji, you don't want the Hinata to remain unchanged, do you?"

"Ask yourselves honestly, would those Main Family willingly release themselves from their Caged Bird? Having grown accustomed to a life of being waited on hand and foot, who would want to fall from grace like this?"

Hearing this, Neji was finally moved. He looked up at the dense Bamboo Forest and sighed.

"I know, but I'm hesitant. How will I face Lord Hiashi when that day comes? And I have a feeling that day will come soon."

"What's there to hesitate about? It's just the position of clan leader," Naruto advised. "Even if you do nothing, Hyuga Hiashi won't change anything."

"It's just stalling and playing along with the other Main Family. Neji, whether things will work out or not is another matter, but you must be clear-headed and your conviction must be unwavering."

"Hmm." Neji silent.

Naruto's words may be rough, but they make sense, and he understands Naruto's personality very well. From the first time Naruto teamed up, when that guy managed to use Teuchi the client, he knew that this guy was cunning and ruthless.

As long as he wants to do something, he is not bound by rules, and there is nothing he wouldn't dare to do except for things that are morally reprehensible.

Neji was bound by morality, tormented by conscience, and even bound by family ties. But Naruto clearly lacked all three; even his principles were shattered to pieces.

You can tell from the fact that he's eyeing what's in the pot while eating what's in his bowl that this person is of mixed background.

In truth, Naruto was somewhat annoyed by Neji's lack of ambition. If Neji also possessed Byakugan, things wouldn't be so complicated. Unfortunately, he wasn't a member of the Hyuga Clan, so he couldn't pull off any fancy maneuvers.

As for Neji, he's a very proper person and can't be at all flamboyant.

Oh, right, he wasn't trying to have his cake and eat it too. How could he be so fickle? He was holding the pot in his hands!

Those who are capable should work harder, so what if they have a big appetite and a big bowl of food?

At the same time.

In the Hokage Building, Tsunade is looking at some documents.

The investigation into Danzo has been stalled, and it's estimated that it won't be processed until the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, takes office. After all, the two advisors are already in a semi-retired state.

Shizune walked in, noticed the water glass on the table was empty, and habitually refilled it for Tsunade. Looking down at Tsunade's file, she paused, momentarily stunned.

"Lord Tsunade, Naruto is up to his old tricks again?"

"No, it's just that he's too honest that seems unusual to him. This isn't like him." Tsunade put down the documents and said, "I know him too well. He's the kind of person who would die if he didn't cause trouble."

"Hasn't he been keeping an eye on the Hyuga Clan lately?" Shizune said, one of the people in the know.

"The Hyuga Clan... If only he were really that idle," Tsunade muttered to herself. "Danzo is already in such a state, why hasn't he taken revenge yet?"

"He's not going to let bygones be bygones, is he? That's not like him. I'm starting to worry that he's doing something far beyond what I expected."

Tsunade is about to leave, and she's not worried about Naruto causing trouble in his final days. At least, she can cover for him to some extent.

If he's waiting for her to leave before making his move, then that possibility can't be ruled out. After all, since their conversation last time, Naruto has clearly been coming this way less frequently.

Although he wasn't very diligent before, he would come occasionally, whether there was something to do or not. Now he comes frequently when there's something to do, but otherwise you can't even see him.

Tsunade wasn't a little girl, so she naturally didn't think Naruto was just throwing a tantrum. He had everything, except for a temper. His current calm demeanor clearly indicated he had a backup plan.

What is he waiting for? Is he waiting for love?

"Uchiha Sasuke is such a loser, he was beaten up by that stupid dog, does he have to be so cautious?" Naruto was ranting and raving, muttering to himself.

Before Black Sakura went into hibernation, he could confide in Black Sakura. But not anymore; that little pink thing has taken over his body.

What kind of logic is this? They change their personality and then turn their backs on you. Luckily, I'm a good person and won't hold it against Pink Sakura. If it were someone else, they probably would have finished even an earthquake.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a good person who followed the rules and principles. He hadn't used any leverage against Pink Sakura or made any petty remarks like "You didn't want this either, did you?"

Back home, he leaned back on the sofa, guessing that the Yugito Nii had already figured things out. His heart sank, and his consciousness entered the Sealing Space.

The next second, before Naruto even opened his eyes, he asked the question.

"What's your decision?"

The Yugito Nii turned to look at him, paused for a second, and continued changing their clothes.

"Uh, your clothes are really big." Naruto complimented for a second, then returned to his original expression. "You've had enough time to think things through, haven't you?"

"Yes, I've thought it through." The Yugito Nii looked at him calmly. "I agree. I have no other choice."

"Huh? What are you talking about? How can there be no choice?" Naruto said, pretending to point to the endless end on the back of the Sealing Space.

"I already told you to leave. You can try to walk out of this space. It's quite big here."

"Heh." The Yugito Nii sneered.

Naruto didn't mind; in fact, he would be terrified if the Yugito Nii didn't utter a single complaint. For him, that would be the most frightening thing.

It's good that she has complaints; it proves there's still room for bribery. Kumogakure is her hometown, but it's a gang-run neighborhood; she can't just cling to that hometown sentiment.

In places where might makes right, it's much easier to clear the game than in a place like Konohagakure where hypocrisy and light coexist.

"I still stand by what I said: destruction precedes construction." Naruto looked at her. "Kumogakure offended me, and I remember it clearly. Now that I have a need, Kumogakure must establish a new order."

"Do you understand what I mean? I've been avoiding saying harsh things to you before because I didn't want to cause any unpleasantness before we were tied together."

"What difference does it make? I'll agree to your request anyway, since we have no other choice." The Yugito Nii understood Naruto's meaning and stopped putting on airs.

She wasn't one to be pretentious; this was a decision she made after careful consideration. One can't be a prostitute and then pretend to be virtuous. Since she was going to Kumogakure, she would see it through to the end.

"It's different now. You're my subordinate, so there are some things you can say upfront," Naruto said expressionlessly. "I'm a person of principle, Kakuzu."

"I can threaten you, and I can threaten others. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to. In any case, I'm determined to take over Kumogakure."

Do you understand?

The Yugito Nii were slightly startled, their hearts skipping a beat after a long time. On one hand, they were alarmed at how Kumogakure had offended this person, and on the other hand, they were glad that they had stood on the side of evil.

In her mind, Naruto was the embodiment of evil. He spoke grandly, but behind the scenes he used all sorts of underhanded tactics. Compared to him Kumogakure Village gang was just a bunch of muscle-bound brutes.

Most importantly, the other party is also Jinchuriki, orphaned and with low moral standards, practically without any weaknesses. Unless he becomes infatuated with a woman and lives a life of debauchery.

"I understand." She nodded, already aware of her fate: she would probably be sent to some place to cultivate, something akin to purgatory.

"Good, then I'll let you out," Naruto said.

"Um?"

"What's wrong? Have you developed feelings for living here?" Naruto looked at her with some confusion.

"No, it's just that I shouldn't go somewhere to cultivate?" she asked.

"Oh, that one, you don't need it." Naruto waved his hand and said, "They're too weak, they're useless to me, I'll just have to let them practice first."

"As for you, you're already strong enough, and it's hard for me to find a suitable opponent for you. Stop ruining my training ground and go out and do something worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, the Yugito Nii' eyelids twitched slightly. What practical work? Sending her to wreak havoc on Kumogakure.

However, she clearly overestimated the bottom line of that unscrupulous boss. Naruto glanced at her, assuming she already understood. So, he didn't bother to hide it anymore and spoke up.

"Do me a favor, and don't tell anyone."

Kitchen.

The Yugito Nii, who were stir-frying in front of the stove, had their faces scalded red by the intense Kakkō. They were gritting their teeth and enduring endless humiliation, but they could not make a sound.

That damn Nine-Tails Jinchuriki actually made her cook. He said he was short-handed and wanted to go home so he could have a hot meal.

You bastard!

Even sending her to assassinate or carry out top-secret missions would have been better, but the first thing she has to do after regaining her freedom is to become the boss's cook. How infuriating!

Naruto lay on the sofa, listening to the sounds from the kitchen, and couldn't help but look content.

Sakura went home. He had said he would give her time to think it over, so he would try to make it look convincing. In reality, she didn't have much of a choice; she couldn't go to work or interact with anyone right now.

The only people she can contact are her parents, with whom she rarely communicates, and Naruto, who knows the truth. If she doesn't accept reconciliation, she will lose those six years of memories.

Give the little girl some time to process the memories and grow into a young woman. The memories shouldn't affect her personality, but through various forms of muscle memory, she can quickly master certain skills.

In the large house, only Yugito Nii and Naruto remained. He hadn't left the village yet, so naturally he wouldn't let Yugito Nii go alone.

Konohagakure Street 404 Apartment, Naruto is like an iron Naruto, the next sentence cannot be said.

The residents have changed from Sakura to Yugito Nii, and the overall impression is different. Yugito's life story has a deeper depth than Sakura's, which is more pleasing to the eye.

But whether it was Pink Sakura Hydrangea, Yakumo Kurama, or even the Yugito Nii, he didn't act recklessly. Although he was also attracted to women, he wasn't so easily swayed by them; he could still distinguish right from wrong.

He can openly threaten his subordinates to work for him, but he won't take advantage of them. A subordinate can have no rest time and no financial reward, but they cannot be without dignity.

For him, there are only two kinds of tools: those who can work tirelessly for him, and those who work tirelessly and get something in return. It's better to have a two-way exchange in this kind of work, aiming to realize one's own life value.

"Is the food ready yet?" Naruto reached for the Make-Out Paradise and continued looking at it, calling out.

"Almost there, almost done." The Yugito Nii their foreheads, never expecting that their first betrayal, based on their lifelong reputation, would be in the kitchen.

"That man really deserves to die!" she muttered to herself.

What did you just say?

"I told you to cook next time, I don't want to do this." After the Yugito Nii finished cooking and took the dish out, they took off their aprons.

"Isn't this good? I don't know how to make this either. Aren't you afraid of getting sick of what you're making with me?" Naruto somewhat awkwardly. "This is all part of training. Just bear with it a little longer."

"Endure my foot!" The Yugito Nii were conflicted, unsure how to refuse. In the end, they lowered their proud heads and nodded.

"Um."

Ever since Yugito Nii came out, Naruto no longer needs to eat out. It feels really good to have someone make breakfast, even if the taste is a bit strange.

The Hinata matter has matured, and more and more Branch Family are breaking free from their Caged Bird. The more people involved, the more fragile the shared secret becomes, and there will always be a day when it collapses.

Naruto wasn't nervous; this was the day he'd been waiting for. He unleashed a devastating attack, hitting the wrong target, to give the Main Family a huge psychological shock.

The Caged Bird Cursed Seal; why doesn't it take advantage of the changing times to update it, at least fix some bugs or something? Now look what's happened!

Taking advantage of the fact that the Uzumaki Clan and not many people know Sealing Jutsu, right?

The unexpected turn of events occurred on the morning of the third day after Naruto removed the Caged Bird from the 48th Branch Family member. A young girl from the Branch Family fell from the rooftop while doing chores at the Main Family.

The person was unharmed, just knocked unconscious. However, the bandage on their forehead had come loose, and the elders who had Branch Family noticed that the Caged Bird their forehead had disappeared.

The single stone stirred up a thousand ripples, causing an uproar throughout the Hyuga Clan. The Main Family held an emergency meeting, and the Branch Family girl, upon waking, also faced her day of reckoning.

Besides
