The Girl's Blush

The three team members reported the results to Yagami.

"Captain Fox, the target's bed was too neat. The target didn't unroll the futon last night, just lay on the bed. The indentations from the layers of bedding showed the target hadn't tossed and turned, and seemed to have been staring at the ceiling."

"Captain Fox, the target didn't use the bathroom last night, and there were no water stains in the bathroom."

Yagami felt suspicious, but said aloud:

"The target was entangled with such a good-looking female ninja last night. Normally, wouldn't they do something after going home?

Not using the bathroom, just lying on the bed, tense, this is too abnormal and highly suspicious."

Purple Cat's pretty face blushed again under the mask. What did 'wouldn't they do something after going home' mean? Did men and women who were entangled always get restless when they got home?

Rei finally said, "Captain, the target used a brush last night."

Yagami said, "This is even stranger. The target turned off the lights and drew the curtains early last night, why would they use a brush?"

The team left the room.

Back at the Anbu, Purple Cat saw the Black Gorilla Squad Leader summon Captain Fox. They didn't know what new mission had been assigned.

After a long while, Captain Fox returned and said to Purple Cat:

"Purple Cat, from now on, you are responsible for observing all the habits of the female Senju ninja from last night, especially her behavior when she is with the target male ninja."

"Okay."

Purple Cat was a ninja from the Yamanaka Clan, and their abilities were highly valued by the Anbu.

For a week, Captain Fox's squad did only one thing: monitoring the meetings between the target ninja and the female Senju ninja every night.

The two of them met by the lake, under the trees, and behind houses. Every night, they would be intimate for more than half an hour.

They were both at the age where young, dry wood ignites a fire. Every time they met, they kissed until they were breathless and caressed each other uncontrollably.

Purple Cat went from initial awkwardness for the first two days to complete adaptation, learning all of their habits and physical reactions.

After a week, Yagami sent Rei and Black Bull away and said to Purple Cat:

"Purple Cat, use the Mind Body Switch Technique to control the female Senju ninja and give the target a piece of information: on the 5th of next month, the Senju Clan will hold a funeral for Uzumaki Mito."

"Okay! ...Huh?"

Purple Cat agreed readily but was immediately stunned.

A funeral for Uzumaki Mito?

When they were monitoring the Senju Clan Compound last night, didn't Madam Uzumaki Mito still come out to the yard to look at the moon?

Madam Uzumaki Mito... is she going to die?

"Purple Cat, don't think about what you shouldn't, execute the mission."

Purple Cat nodded with difficulty.

The last elder of the founding generation, Madam Uzumaki Mito, was about to reach the end of her life.

That night, Captain Fox's squad waited near the Senju Clan Compound.

The female Senju ninja, who had just returned from Konoha Hospital after finishing work, saw the Anbu wearing a fox mask suddenly block her path.

"Please come with us."

The female Senju ninja thought that an Anbu member had been injured and needed her to go secretly for treatment.

She had taken on such missions before.

Unfortunately, her boyfriend would have to wait a long time tonight. Anbu missions could not be delayed, and she didn't have time to tell her boyfriend.

Turning into an alley, the female Senju ninja saw an Anbu wearing a Purple Cat mask.

"Mind Body Switch Technique!"

The female Senju ninja froze for a moment.

Purple Cat softly collapsed into Yagami's arms.

The female Senju ninja's eyes changed, her features shifted, and Purple Cat began to adapt to this body.

"Go, you must ensure the target trusts you completely. You know what to do."

Purple Cat, controlling the body, arrived in an alley outside the Senju Clan Compound.

This was a place where she and her boyfriend often shared intimate moments.

Soon, the target appeared.

Purple Cat suppressed her shyness and, imitating the female Senju ninja, pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

The awkwardness made it difficult for her to continue.

To prevent the target from noticing anything unusual, a thought suddenly arose in Purple Cat's mind.

What if I imagine the target as Captain Fox? Then I might be able to perform those embarrassing actions.

Closing her eyes slightly, Purple Cat imagined the person in front of her as Captain Fox and said, "Darling, I have to go home quickly tonight. We only have ten minutes."

The two grew increasingly intimate.

Even though it wasn't her own body, all the sensations from the Thousand-Hand female ninja's skin were clearly transmitted to Purple Cat.

The target's hands were roaming, becoming more restless.

To make the target let down his guard, Purple Cat had to pretend to tremble.

"Darling... no... for many days to come... I won't be able to go out..."

"What?" the target asked, panting. "Why can't you go out?"

Purple Cat said, "Mito-grandmother's funeral is coming soon. The clan has suppressed the news, and no one knows that Mito-grandmother has passed away. We will hold a funeral for Mito-grandmother on the 5th of next month."

As if recalling something sad, the Thousand-Hand female ninja's spirits seemed to droop.

The target's movements also slowed down. He said, "Then hurry back to the clan compound. I miss you, but important matters come first. We'll meet again after Lord Mito's funeral."

"Okay, I'll miss you too."

Purple Cat fled the alley as if escaping and ran towards the Thousand-Hand clan compound.

After entering the Thousand-Hand clan compound, Purple Cat controlled the Thousand-Hand female ninja to leave from a side door on the other side.

Yagami supported Purple Cat's soft body and brought her to another side of the Thousand-Hand clan compound.

Purple Cat and the Thousand-Hand female ninja switched back.

Yagami said to the Thousand-Hand female ninja, "I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay in the Anbu from now until the 5th of next month."

The Thousand-Hand female ninja held her head, struggling not to fall: "Why? Why are you doing this?"

Yagami said, "Anbu mission. Don't ask why. I'm just following orders."

The Thousand-Hand female ninja was terrified but dared not say anything more.

He took the Thousand-Hand female ninja back to the Anbu and settled her with good food and drink.

The Fox Squad returned to their team's changing room. He told his subordinates to rest and go home.

Yagami sat in the chair in the middle of the changing room, contemplating the Anbu's arrangements.

He didn't know why the Anbu was spreading news about Uzumaki Mito's funeral. Not only his squad but other squads were also secretly disseminating information in various ways.

Could this be a tactic by the Anbu targeting the Thousand-Hand clan?

With the extermination of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha lost a strong ally.

With the extermination of the Thousand-Hand clan, Konoha would be even weaker.

Forget it. What was he, an Anbu ninja, thinking so much about?

He had transmigrated here and had only three things to do: survive, survive, and damn it, survive.

Turning his head, Yagami noticed Purple Cat leaning against a cabinet nearby.

Rei and Black Bull had already left, leaving only Purple Cat.

"Purple Cat, why are your ears and neck so red? Is it a side effect of the Mind Body Switch Technique?"

Yagami couldn't see Purple Cat's face, only her reddened neck.

Purple Cat's voice was choked with sobs, "I don't like those embarrassing missions!"

Yagami was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd react so strongly. Next time, I'll find a male Yamanaka ninja to carry out this kind of mission."

"No!" Purple Cat quickly said, "I'm not refusing your order, it's just... it's just that I had to imagine that person as you to continue, and that made me..."

Purple Cat's face turned even redder. She had let it slip.

Yagami was taken aback.

After more than a month of getting along, had his unconscious charm conquered this Yamanaka clan girl?

He walked forward, reaching out to caress Purple Cat's long, fair neck with a hint of pink, teasing her, "I'm right in front of you now, no need to imagine me."

As her neck skin felt the brush of Fox's fingertips, Purple Cat trembled all over.

She let out a soft whimper and fell into Fox's arms.

Purple Cat had seen her lover's intimacy many times, but this was the first time she was truly caressed by Fox, becoming more excited and more proactive.

In the secluded changing room, both suppressed their panting.

Purple Cat's skin was cold and white as snow.

The girl's flushed face was intoxicating.

The alternating red and white transformed into a captivating pink.
