Upon hearing Shikaku's words, Yuzuru chuckled softly, then slowly removed her mask in front of them.
Welcome to the new world.
"I never expected that the Arashi-san whom the major ninja villages regarded as their protector would actually be Minazuki Yuzuru himself, whom they fear the most."
Torifu Akimichi couldn't help but say.
"First give them disaster, then give them hope; only in this way will final despair completely destroy them."
Yuzuru smiled and put away her mask.
" Yuzuru, Shikamaru and the others are here."
At that moment, Kurenai arrived with Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji.
"Mom and Dad? What are you doing here?"
Ino looked at them in surprise.
Choji was also a bit confused; he stopped eating his potato chips and stared blankly at his parents.
"We've left Konoha. From now on, you no longer need to be ninjas."
Inoichi Yamanaka said to the two of them.
Shikamaru watched this scene without any surprise, as he already knew about it.
"What about Konoha?"
Shikamaru looked at his father and asked.
"Don't worry, they won't find us. Besides, we've already taken everything we could, and it's all in the Land of Waves now."
Shikaku said with a smile.
"Come with me first, and I'll show you where you'll be living from now on."
Soon, everyone followed Yuzuru to the outskirts of Sea Capital.
Even from a great distance, you could see that colossal steel beast sprawling across the earth.
Welcome to Sea Capital!
Shikamaru stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the city. Although he had been in Sea Capital for several months, he couldn't help but feel the gap between countries every time he saw the city.
As for the people standing nearby, they were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this... the Sea Capital?"
" Shikamaru, have you already been here?"
Ino looked at Shikamaru, who seemed used to it, and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, Shikamaru studied an entire major directly and is now Orochimaru's assistant."
Kurenai patted Ino's head and explained.
" Konoha and the Shinobi World are too backward and too dirty. I don't want the future world to be like that."
Shikamaru said matter-of-factly.
Seeing his son find his own path, Shikaku smiled with relief.
"To paraphrase Orochimaru, if I were to waste my intelligence on meaningless things in the Shinobi World, it would be a loss for future scientific development."
"Yes, I think so too."
" Shikaku, let the others follow Minato. We've already found accommodations for your three families. As for you three clan leaders, come with me. Now that you've come to the Sea Capital, there are some rules you must know and abide by."
"I see."
Shikaku nodded slightly.
"However, I believe my judgment is correct. At least for now, the entire Shinobi World combined cannot compare to this one city."
Soon, the group was brought before Mei Terumi Yuzuru.
"This? Mizukage?"
Shikaku was completely stunned when he saw Mei Terumi.
"Long time no see, Shikaku."
Mei Terumi chuckled softly.
" At the Five Kage Summit, you called me the Mizukage, and I didn't mind. But here, you have to call me President."
"President?"
The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho, were stunned and exchanged glances.
"Please sit down and let me explain."
After the three of them sat down, Mikoto suddenly came in and placed some freshly printed documents on the table.
"You are... Uchiha Mikoto?"
Shikaku was filled with surprise when he saw the missing Uchiha Clan Head's wife.
However, considering what Yugen did on the Night of the Nine-Tails Yuzuru, it wasn't so surprising.
Who does Mikoto think she is? The Fourth Hokage and his wife were wiped out, and even Lady Hyuga, the strictest Hyuga of the clan, was abducted. What wouldn't she dare to do?
"Long time no see, Shikaku."
Mikoto smiled slightly and nodded at him. Then she saw Yuzuru sitting in his chair and patting the seat next to him.
Her body trembled slightly, and Mikoto instinctively went over and obediently sat down.
She hadn't been teased by this little rascal in a long time, and for a moment, she actually missed it.
"Take a copy of these documents from each of you. Look through them first, and then I'll tell you about Sea Capital."
Mei Terumi looked at the three of them and said.
Without further ado, the three of them took the documents and began to read them page by page.
Beside her, Yuzuru secretly grabbed Mikoto's small hand and played with her fingers.
Mikoto tensed up, trying her best not to show any strange reactions.
Yuzuru grinned mischievously, picked up a pen from the desk, and wrote a line on a piece of white paper.
"Why aren't you wearing purple today, madam? I prefer purple, especially lace."
Upon seeing this line of text, Mikoto gently bit her red lips, glanced at the others, and, making sure no one was paying attention, picked up her pen and began to write:
"It's been washed, but it's not dry yet."
This reason was obviously not very appropriate, but Yuzuru didn't call it out.
When to do it?
Upon seeing these words, Mikoto picked up her pen again:
"Tomorrow."
"Are you going to wear it for me?"
This question made Mikoto unable to look directly at it.
How could he be so direct?
Seeing that she didn't react for a while, Yuzuru reached out again, this time directly stroking her long legs wrapped in glossy black stockings.
The warm touch on her legs brought tears to Mikoto's beautiful eyes.
Mikoto, who was already gentle, became even more charming, a captivating and alluring woman, with her submissive and resigned nature becoming even more pronounced.
Why is Madam silent?
Yuzuru continued writing with one hand.
Mikoto bit her red lips, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. Then, as if making up her mind, she wrote on the paper on the table:
"It's a date then. I'll wear it for you tomorrow, and you can't stand me up."
"That's quite bold, madam, but I like it."
While Mikoto was deep in thought, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had already finished reading the documents in their hands.
"That's roughly the system in Sea Capital. Of course, if you want to know more, you'll need to gradually adapt to life here. Next, let's discuss the treatment of your three families."
Mei Terumi looked at them.
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"Your family probably doesn't have any strange clan rules, right? I mean, like the Hyuga Clan, where, well, clan rules take precedence over village rules."
Absolutely not.
"That's good."
Mei Terumi nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, the conditions are actually quite simple. As you all know, there are no ninjas, daimyo, or ninja villages in the Sea Capital. Everyone here is free, including you. There are no particular restrictions. However, there is only one condition: we allow clans to exist, but we do not allow clans to monopolize power. You should understand what I mean."
