Coincidence

"There are ninjas from our village on a mission to the left front!"

"Now, let's go and join them!"

Using his Purple Eye, Uchiha Yue sensed the presence of several familiar faces and expressed his desire to reunite with the two elite Anbu in front of him. The two Anbu eager to rid themselves of Uchiha Yue a burden and return to Orochimaru 'Uchiha Yue service, led him away to meet the familiar faces to their left shortly after speaking.

At the same time, the acquaintances that Uchiha Yue had sensed using his Purple Eye also discovered the whereabouts of Uchiha Yue and his group.

Especially when Uchiha Yue appeared before those acquaintances with two Anbu, those people shouted excitedly:

"Moon, it's you!"

"Moon Lord, you're here too!"

Hearing those familiar voices, Uchiha Yue, supported by an elite Anbu, slowly walked up to them, removed her Anbu mask, and smiled, saying, "Minato- kun, Kushina, Kakashi! I never expected to meet you here. Are you on your way to the Land of Wind on a mission?"

Indeed, the familiar faces standing before Uchiha Yue none other than his former teammates: Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Hatake Kakashi. After Uchiha Yue participated in the Anbu election, Minato Namikaze's team didn't acquire any new members; he simply continued missions with Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi. Now, Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze were Minato Namikaze, and both were Uchiha Yue excited.

Then, just as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Minato Namikaze said with a smile, "Tsuki-kun, Kushina, Kakashi, and I were simply on a mission near the border of the Land of Wind. The mission is now complete. But..." Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, looking at the Anbu supporting Uchiha Yue, and continued, "But, Tsuki-kun, you seem to be in some trouble! Are you injured?"

"Um!"

Hearing Minato Namikaze's familiar voice, Uchiha Yue smiled and said, "Minato- kun, I was just injured during a mission. Now, I'm preparing to return to the village to recuperate for a while. Since you've just finished your mission, let's go back to Konoha together! We can also catch up on the way!"

"Okay, let's do as Yue says!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue arrived, Kushina Uzumaki stepped forward, patted Uchiha Yue on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Yue, you haven't disappointed me. I thought that after you became Anbu, you would forget about me, Minato, and Kakashi! I didn't expect that our Anbu captain would still remember us. It's truly an honor for us!"

"Kushina, please stop teasing me."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue gave a wry smile and said, "Kushina, you're Jonin- level ninja, are you going to make fun of me?"

Then, Uchiha Yue pointed at Hatake Kakashi and continued with a laugh, "If you're going to make a joke, make a joke about Kakashi!"

"Haha, you think I didn't train Kakashi?"

At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Hatake Kakashi beside her, making Hatake Kakashi feel extremely uncomfortable.

While Uchiha Yue was catching up with Minato Namikaze, the two Anbu beside him were rather embarrassed. After all, these two Anbu served under Uchiha Yue and were naturally not acquainted with Orochimaru Minato Namikaze and Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki. So, while Uchiha Yue was reminiscing with Minato and the others, one of the Anbu gestured to Uchiha Yue and whispered, "Asura, now that someone is escorting you back to the village, we'll prepare to return to Lord Orochimaru."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Seeing that the two Anbu were about to leave, Uchiha Yue simply nodded, which was considered a reply to the elite Anbu.

Immediately after Uchiha Yue replied, the two elite Anbu disappeared before his eyes, clearly heading towards the Land of Wind.

However, just as the two elite Anbu left, Hatake Kakashi frowned and said, "Yuki, are all Anbu members like this? Those two Anbu must have been Lord Orochimaru's Anbu. They were truly repulsive. It's a good thing you didn't become like that, otherwise I wouldn't consider you one of our comrades anymore."

"Kakashi, you just don't understand!"

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Kushina Uzumaki gently stroked Hatake Kakashi's long, silver-white hair and teased, "That's how it is with Anbu. Yue only reverts to her original form in front of us. Kakashi, didn't you hear what that Anbu called Yue? Asura, Yue, your Anbu codenames are way too bloody!"

"Uh, no, right?"

Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki had finished teasing Hatake Kakashi and was now teasing him, Uchiha Yue helplessly rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, I just randomly picked a code name. Besides, I'm not like other Anbu who act all cold and aloof! Kushina, you haven't changed at all, you're still the same as before. Being with you guys, I feel like I've found that old feeling again! Now I'm even starting to regret joining the Anbu!"

"Moon Lord, stop joking around."

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Alright, let's get ready to set off now."

Then, Minato Namikaze's gaze fell on Hatake Kakashi, and he said, "Kakashi, Tsuki-kun is injured, so I'll have to trouble you!"

"Yes, no problem."

Having received instructions from Minato Namikaze, Hatake Kakashi didn't hesitate at all. He immediately carried Uchiha Yue on his back and prepared to head back to Konoha. However, although Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze had just had a good chat, a question lingered in the minds of Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others.

That is, why was Uchiha Yue so badly injured!

Then, as night fell, exhausted Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi prepared to rest. However, just before they could rest, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared before Uchiha Yue, his eyes filled with seriousness, and said, "Tsukuyomi-kun, can we talk now about what happened to you?"

"Aren't you working for Lord Orochimaru?"

"Why were you able to sustain such severe injuries?"
