At that moment, her discreetly observing gaze paused, and her heart trembled slightly.
Why did the pale blue diamond-shaped marks on their foreheads look so much like her Yin Seal?
Could it be a coincidence?
At that thought, her expression grew serious.
Hearing Mito's questions, Yui did not panic. She took a long breath and answered evenly, "My lady, with so many ninja in Konoha, how can you be sure you know every one of them?"
Yui had indeed felt a little rattled when she first heard Mito's words, but she had still noticed some holes in what she had said.
Mito probably had not recognized her, though suspicion was inevitable. After all, her Byakugan and pale skin were traits she could not change.
"Oh?" Mito paused, then nodded. "True, I can't guarantee that I've met every ninja in Konoha."
"Perhaps I was mistaken!" Mito shook her head slightly. "Judging by your eyes, you must be from the Hyuga Clan!"
"May I ask what brings you to the Land of Whirlpools? And how did you get onto this island?"
There was a questioning note in Mito's voice.
"If I remember correctly, the waters around the island should all be blockaded."
"Uh..." Yui scratched her head. How should I answer that?
Should I just tell her I came here to learn Sealing Jutsu?
Her lips shifted, and she was just about to answer when Uesugi Yuri suddenly spoke up beside her. "My lady, these two big sisters flew here from the Land of Hot Water. They said they came to learn the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu."
Though Uesugi Yuri did not know who this elderly woman was, judging by the clan leader's reaction,
she was probably a highly respected figure in the Uzumaki Clan.
"Sealing Jutsu?" Ashimura Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise.
