At the border of the Land of Fire~
The border had enjoyed two days of peace. For once, Hanzō had not come to attack the camp!
Uchiha Lei had been living quite comfortably these past few days, eating the delicious meals Uchiha Mikoto prepared, with Hyuga Mie dropping by from time to time for a heart-to-heart. Tsunade had also become considerably more obedient!
Today, the weather was overcast~
Dark clouds filled the sky, and a biting wind blew from time to time, heralding an approaching storm!
Meanwhile, a white-haired Konoha Anbu ninja arrived at Tsunade's Camp!
At that moment, Uchiha Lei was sitting on Uchiha Mikoto's bed, his right arm around her soft, slender waist, paying the Anbu ninja no attention whatsoever!
Seeing that they had a visitor yet Uchiha Lei did not mind at all, Uchiha Mikoto, a thin-skinned girl, blushed across her fair cheeks and reminded him quietly:
"Lei, the Anbu ninja is still here. Behave yourself!"
Uchiha Lei tugged gently with his right hand, bringing Uchiha Mikoto's head to rest against his firm chest, and replied with a solemn expression:
"First, our Anbu guest hasn't said anything. Second, I'm your fiancé, even in front of other people!"
"All right, I'll remember!"
Uchiha Mikoto responded with a slight nod!
Tsunade sat on the small bed opposite them, her arms folded across her chest, looking at the Anbu ninja Hatake Sakumo in confusion!
The atmosphere inside the tent was rather peculiar, nothing like the atmosphere for conveying the Hokage's orders!
"Ahem~" Hatake Sakumo could hardly watch any longer. He raised his right hand to his mouth and coughed twice before relaying the Hokage's exact words:
"Uchiha Lei, Lord Hokage has ordered that, with Sand Hidden invading the border, you are to join me in defending it!"
Uchiha Lei frowned
