Arriving at Hot Springs Ninja Village

The next morning, as the eastern horizon began to glow with the first light of dawn, the birds in the trees chirped and chirped merrily.

Mingyou slowly opened his eyes, only to find that Samui had already woken up at some point.

Her face was less than 5 centimeters away from his.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were wide open as she met Mingyou's gaze.

Mingyou glanced down with the corner of his eye and noticed that the two of them were embracing in an ambiguous position.

Neither of them spoke, just staring at each other at such close range.

Mingyou's heart rate accelerated to the limit, and he felt like even breathing was becoming difficult.

He tentatively stretched his head over and lightly pecked Samui's delicate red lips.

Samui's eyes widened even more, and the blush on her cheeks became even more pronounced.

Suddenly, she returned the favor, kissing Mingyou's lips in the same way.

Then, with a hint of provocation in her eyes, she continued to stare intently into Mingyou's eyes.

Mingyou could no longer control the desire in his heart, flipped over, and pinned her beneath him, their bodies entwining tightly together.

After a long time, everything returned to peace.

The two embraced each other, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

Until the sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature in the mountains became unusually hot.

Only then did Samui break free from Mingyou's embrace and get up to tidy her clothes.

"Mingyou, my body is still very weak, but you must take me to the Land of Hot Springs with you."

"The time for the Kage Summit is fast approaching, and if we don't go back soon, we'll miss important matters."

Mingyou nodded slightly and raised his hand to pat her shapely butt, "Alright, we're already at this stage, so of course, I have to bring you along."

Samui slapped Mingyou's hand away, glaring at him playfully, "Can you be serious for once, you little rascal? I'm talking to you about serious matters."

Mingyou got up from the ground and said with a wicked smile, "I am talking to you about serious matters too. Didn't I already agree to your request?"

"Come on, I'll carry you." With that, Mingyou bent down, indicating for her to climb onto his back.

Samui softly hummed in agreement, placed her hands on Mingyou's shoulders, and climbed onto Mingyou's back.

It takes a long time to travel by water from the Land of Waves to the Land of Hot Springs.

Compared to the distance to the Land of Fire, it is a whole fold further, if not more.

Just taking a boat would take three days.

After three days of rest on the boat, Samui's body had recovered a lot, and there were no more problems with moving and traveling freely.

No obstacles or ambushes occurred along the way.

Since the two of them had that kind of relationship that morning, Samui's attitude toward Mingyou had also changed a lot.

At least in Mingyou's opinion, she treated him more gently than before.

"We should be docking soon."

Mingyou sat on the front of the deck, and within his field of vision, he could already see a coastal port ahead.

"Mm." Samui slowly stood up, gazing at the front.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Mingyou, her expression becoming extremely serious, "Mingyou, I hope that after we go ashore, we can maintain a proper distance."

Mingyou was dumbfounded, unable to understand, "Why? Did you just want to take advantage of me and then deny everything?"

"I'm a pure virgin, and I gave you my most precious first time..."

"Don't mess around, speak properly." Samui glared at Mingyou playfully.

Through these days of getting along, she had already figured out Mingyou's personality. He was completely a rogue who loved to act like a hooligan.

"The reason I say this is that I don't want the Raikage to see that there is this kind of relationship between us."

Mingyou still couldn't understand and stood up to ask, "Why? Could it be that you and the Fourth Raikage..."

"You Samui's face turned angry, and she raised her hand to punch Mingyou's chest.

Bang~~

The force of this blow was extremely strong. Mingyou only felt a huge force coming from his chest, and then his body flew out uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Mingyou reacted in time and attached a layer of chakra to the soles of his feet before landing steadily on the sea.

"Damn, you're serious."

Mingyou rubbed his aching chest and returned to the boat again.

Samui snorted softly and gave Mingyou a sidelong glance, "Who told you to talk nonsense? I hadn't even finished speaking, and you had to interrupt."

"Alright, alright, you continue, I won't interrupt." Mingyou smiled awkwardly, not daring to provoke this woman casually anymore.

Samui leaned against the railing of the boat, her beautiful eyes becoming solemn, "The ninja world war is about to break out, and this period of time will be the most sensitive period for the relationship between the major countries."

"I said before that although the four great nations will participate in this meeting to attack Konoha, there are many rifts between the countries, and it is impossible to cooperate wholeheartedly."

"Although you Uchiha are a clan that defected from Konoha, I believe you understand the Uchiha's current situation very well."

"Although you successfully defected from Konoha, with just the Uchiha's manpower alone, the final outcome will probably still be being chased around by Konoha."

Having said that, Samui's eyes revealed a hint of apology, "Mingyou, to tell you the truth, the Raikage is actually also eyeing your Uchiha clan's Sharingan."

"But... I ended up having this kind of relationship with you at this time."

"To be honest, I've been thinking a lot these past few days. I'm caught between you and the Land of Lightning, which makes it very difficult for me."

"But if the Raikage finds out about me and you, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"Is that so?" Mingyou didn't show too much surprise. "Samui, don't worry, I know what to do. I won't make things difficult for you."

Mingyou had already thought of this, which is why he had all the Uchiha return to the Kamui Dimension, and he alone went to participate in this dangerous meeting.

Soon, the ship had docked.

Mingyou and Samui stepped onto land and traveled through the forest, heading towards the town where the Hot Springs Ninja Village was located.

Although the Land of Hot Springs is just a small country, its area is quite vast.

Moreover, it also has its own city defense guards and ninja army.

According to Samui's explanation, it wasn't so simple for the Land of Lightning to take over this country so quietly.

It seems they captured the Land of Hot Springs' daimyo's family, plus the Hot Springs Shadow's family, and used their lives as a threat to completely control the country.

But no matter what despicable means were used, as long as the goal was achieved, it shows that the Fourth Raikage's ability to handle affairs is very strong.

After stepping on this land, Mingyou no longer joked around with Samui like before.

The two maintained some distance, silently traveling one in front of the other.

At noon on the third day, they finally arrived at the Hot Springs Ninja Village.
