Chapter 21

If Danzo could bring him under his command, he would have a formidable subordinate in the future!

"I told you! Forget it! Liuyun has already become Tsunade's student!"

Anger darkened Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

"Besides, Liuyun isn't like the other Uchiha. He may be able to carry on Kagami's legacy!"

"Heh. Enbi, you're too naive!"

Danzo sneered and dropped the subject. He knew Uchiha Liuyun was beyond his reach.

Changing the subject, he said, "I've received intelligence that a spy from Kumogakure has slipped in!"

"Do we know who it is?"

"No. I'm just telling you so the village can raise its guard!"

"I will, Danzo!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a stream of smoke, his face expressionless.

"Looks like the Second Shinobi World War is about to break out! Our chance has come!"

Danzo walked up to the desk, his voice cold.

"What do you mean?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, puzzled.

"The Senju Clan!"

"Danzo! Don't talk nonsense. The Senju Clan is one of Konoha's two founding clans. I will never let you move against them!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped the desk and spoke with righteous conviction, though a flicker of delight crossed his eyes.

"Heh!"

Danzo sneered, contempt in his eyes.

Anyone could shout. Why didn't Hiruzen look angry?

"I know what to do. If the Second Shinobi World War breaks out, just send the Senju Clan to defend against Iwagakure!"

Danzo turned and strolled toward the door, leaning on his cane.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze flickered, but he said nothing.

(Hiruzen Sarutobi: Nicely done, Danzo. Thanks for taking the blame!)

Early the next morning, the two finished breakfast and headed to the Ninja Academy.

When they reached Classroom 1, its seats were already full of students wearing Forehead Protectors.

Looking at those bright, energetic faces, Liuyun thought it was a shame. The Second Shinobi World War was about to break out, and these students would probably become cannon fodder!

"Look! That's Uchiha Liuyun, the one who took down Minato Namikaze in an instant!"

"So that's him? Now I finally know what he looks like!"

"Liuyun is so handsome! I wish I could have his babies when we grow up!"

At the sight of this year's top student, the Genin lowered their heads and whispered among themselves. The boys were jealous and envious.

The girls, meanwhile, idolized Liuyun with the fervor of devoted fans.

"Liuyun! Over here! Over here!" Kushina sprang to her feet and waved, her expression sour.

These hussies want to steal my man? No! They want to steal Liuyun from Mikoto. How infuriating!

She pulled Liuyun to her side and wrapped both hands around his right arm. As if staking her claim, she swept a smug gaze around the room.

"Hmph!"

"Damn it!"

"Liuyun..."

The girls in the class glared at Kushina with resentment and hostility, itching to take her on.

Liuyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had never expected to get the same treatment as that show-off Uchiha Sasuke.

Still, Kushina didn't have quite the curves he wanted. He recalled a line by a writer named Xu from his previous world.

A tender lotus bud had only just emerged; two little dates sat atop a pair of fried eggs!

The punchline: ...

He sat down beside Kushina, and then came the tedious wait.

With nothing else to do, Liuyun took a closer look at what Uchiha Mikoto was wearing today.

More precisely, he looked at Mikoto's slender legs.

So fair and slim. If she wore black stockings, or white ones...

And with Mikoto's looks, if she called him "Master"...

Heat rushed to Liuyun's head.

No! No! I have to try it tonight!

He remembered signing in to receive two maid outfits, still in his bag...

"Li-Liuyun! What are you thinking about now?"

Noticing something odd about him, Mikoto blushed and asked nervously.

"Heh. Nothing! Nothing!"

Liuyun hurriedly shook his head, though a besotted grin still hung on his face.

He leaned forward onto the desk and murmured to himself, "System! Sign in!"

Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host. You've received a seven-day uniform set for Uchiha Mikoto!

Under the desk, Liuyun's eyes suddenly blazed with dazzling light.

Excitement surged through him. "System! Quick! Let me see! Let me see!"

An enlarged screen appeared in his mind, displaying the item that had just appeared in his bag.

The first was a white uniform with a pair of straight black stockings beneath it.

The second was white s...

The third was lacy s...

The fourth was fishnet!

The fifth was a maid outfit!

The sixth was a Sailor Uniform!

The seventh was???

Liuyun was getting thoroughly worked up, and then the last one simply wasn't there?

"System! Didn't you say it was a seven-day set? Why are there only six?"

Liuyun was furious. Mikoto was supposed to wear every one of these. Missing even one made his heart bleed.

"What's the seventh day called?" the system asked coolly.

"Sunday, of course! Huh?" Liuyun answered without thinking.

The next instant, he caught on, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This system was definitely a dirty old hand. It was no decent system.

Sunday—or, as the joke went, "make love day." Supposedly, the greatest fashion of a bygone era had been called "the emperor's new clothes."

Ding! The host isn't too stupid after all!

Liuyun ignored it. The urgent question was how to sweet-talk Mikoto into putting those outfits on.

To him, they were every bit as valuable as S-rank Ninjutsu!

While Liuyun was lost in thoughts of the seven different outfits, Wang Tenggangyi entered carrying a form.

He stepped up to the front and let out a thunderous roar. "Quiet!"

Then his expression changed, a touch of warmth appearing on his stern face.

"First, congratulations! As of today, you have officially left the Ninja Academy and become qualified Ninja!"

"Remember, life as a Ninja is entirely different from life at the Ninja Academy. Becoming a Ninja means you're an adult now!"

(Send flowers and Airi will take care of you tonight. Send rating votes and Tsunade will take care of you tonight! Send both and they'll both take care of you!)

Class Assignments! Looking for Big Boobs! (Third Update!)

Wang Tenggangyi patiently explained the matters Genin needed to know, leaving nothing out.

At that moment, he seemed nothing like the roaring terror his students knew.

Some listened with tears in their eyes, nearly crying.

After who knew how long, Wang Tenggangyi finally fell silent.

"All right! That's everything I wanted to say!"

"Next come the team assignments. After that, just wait for your Jonin instructors!"

"Team 1! Hyuga Hiashi..."

"Team 2! Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi!"

"Liuyun! I hope the three of us end up together!"

Kushina spoke softly, her eyes full of hope.

"Me too!" Mikoto said at once.

"Who knows? Being assigned to the same team as both of you is what I want most!"

Liuyun smiled, his eyes moving back and forth between Kushina and Mikoto.

Six outfits won't be enough. Looks like I'll have to sign in for a set for Kushina too.

Just then, Wang Tenggangyi's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Team 6: Uchiha Liuyun, Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Mikoto!"

"Team 7..."

Liuyun tuned out everything Wang Tenggangyi said after that.

Kushina had wrapped him in a tight hug, trembling with excitement.

"Yes! Liuyun! Mikoto! We're on the same team!"

"Mm! Mm!" Mikoto nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Hmph! Damn it! I didn't get assigned to Liuyun's team!"

"What's she so smug about? One day I'll crush Liuyun with my butt!"

"I didn't get assigned to Liuyun's team. I'm so sad!"

The girls in the class glared furiously at Kushina and the other two nearby.

Kushina held her head high and puffed out her chest. She swept a smug gaze around the room like a victorious lion.

"Kushina Uzumaki! Watch yourself!" Wang Tenggangyi shouted from the front.

Kushina, who had forgotten they were still in class, immediately sat down and ducked her head, looking embarrassed.

Wang Tenggangyi glanced at her, then resumed reading the team assignments.

Ten minutes later, he finished the list. "Now wait here for your instructors!"

With that, he turned and left without another word.

The moment Wang Tenggangyi was gone, the classroom erupted in chatter.

Some students were just about to leave their seats and find their teammates so they could get acquainted.
