Everyone is different and has unique strengths.
"Yeah?"
Hearing Uya's words, a faint glimmer of light flashed in Konan's pure, clear eyes.
"Certainly."
Uya patted Konan on the shoulder and smiled at her.
Compared to Konan, Kushina is not very suitable for a role like a secretary.
If Kushina were to assist in handling all the affairs of Amegakure, she would probably go berserk within a few days and tear up that pile of documents.
Konan's quiet and gentle personality is well-suited to handling these trivial matters.
After Amegakure changed the system of Uya, Uya himself undoubtedly held the highest position as the leader of Amegakure, and Kushina, Konan, and Yahiko were second only to Uya.
Of course, if we're really talking about status, Konan and Yahiko still have to listen to Kushina obediently, since Kushina is essentially their teacher's wife, and now they both call Kushina "teacher" just like they call Uya.
However, Kushina herself didn't like dealing with trivial matters, so she left most of the work to Yahiko and Konan. Yahiko did handle things with some autonomy, while Konan stayed by Uya's side, relaying his Uya at any time, and didn't have any independent thoughts.
In the eyes of the Rain Ninja, Uya had the highest status, followed only by Konan Kushina, Yahiko, and Uya. Although Konan and Yahiko were much weaker, they were Uya's disciples, and for that reason alone, no one dared to disrespect them.
As for Kushina... she is powerful enough that no one would dare to disrespect her.
Next up are the Rain Ninja, such as the previous Anbu Captain, the captain of the Amegakure Guard Force, and so on.
The Anbu Captain the Amegakure Anbu was, after all, Kage Level fighter, and was initially somewhat unconvinced. In his view, Uya was strong, but not as strong as Kushina and the others.
As a result, after Kushina activated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he discovered that he was no match for Kushina. In shock, he fell silent and obediently became her subordinate.
Hearing Uya's words, Konan's eyes gleamed, and she gave a faint smile. Then she stood quietly to the side, waiting for Uya's instructions.
Uya walked to the window and looked at the sky outside.
Suddenly, in the next instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed, and a beam of light appeared in the entire sky. Then, the light vanished in the next moment, disappearing without a trace.
"It's done."
Looking at the strange sight in the sky, Uya nodded. Without a doubt, this was the sign that Kushina's Sensory Barrier had been completed and was now in use.
Konan also walked over to Uya's side, looking at the sky outside.
After a while, Uya nodded to Konan and said, "There shouldn't be anything else going on, and I might be gone for a few months..."
"Is Teacher Uya leaving?"
Konan looked at Uya with a surprised expression.
Uya nodded. During this time, the Natural Energy in his body had almost completely merged with his body, and he needed to go to Mount Myōboku again to absorb Natural Energy and continue cultivating the Sage Body.
After a moment's hesitation, Uya turned to Konan and said, "After I leave, you take charge of Amegakure's intelligence department, closely monitor Nagato's movements, and at the same time, gather intelligence on all the Tailed Beast."
"Clear."
Konan nodded at Uya, then turned and walked out.
Not long after Konan left, the office door was pushed open again, and Kushina walked in, having just completed the construction of the Sensory Barrier and checked it to make sure there were no problems.
"Easy to handle."
After entering, Kushina chuckled and went to Uya's Uya, immediately clinging to him, saying, " Amegakure is still too small. Compared to Konoha's Sensory Barrier, it's much simpler to set up."
"Yeah?"
Uya smiled, pinched her cheek, and said, "If it weren't for the Nine-Tails 'Chakra, could you have completed it so easily?"
Without a word, Uya contradicted her, causing Kushina to puff out her cheeks, glare at Uya with dissatisfaction, and huff, " The Nine-Tails ' power is also my power!"
"Of course, I didn't say it wasn't."
Uya looked at Kushina with a smile. Just as Kushina opened her mouth to bite him in anger, Uya casually grabbed an apple from the fruit plate on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
Kushina grabbed the apple, took a big bite, and glared at Uya.
Uya immediately wore a helpless expression. What was this? Intimidation?!
"By the way, your apprentice's thoughts are a bit problematic." Kushina ate an apple, leaned on Uya's shoulder, and suddenly spoke softly to Uya.
Uya stroked her face and smiled, "Will you still get jealous?"
"Pah! If I get jealous if any girl likes you, then I'd be the one getting jealous all over the Shinobi World!" Kushina rolled her eyes at Uya.
Uya was already incredibly handsome, and this only grew stronger with Uya. It's unclear whether this was due to his Kusanagi Clan bloodline, since the Kusanagi Clan had completely disappeared from the Shinobi World.
Uya's strength is something that countless people awe and admire.
When Uya was in Konoha, he ended the Second Shinobi World War and killed the Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage. Countless young girls admired Uya greatly.
"Alright, don't overthink it. I'll be away for a few months. Here, take this."
Uya gently kissed Kushina's cheek, then removed the glass-like gold ring from her finger.
Kushina gave a strange look.
It wasn't because of the ring or anything like that. She knew that the ring was the true form of the Kusanagi Sword, and that after being infused with Chakra, it could transform at will. Combined with her Nine-Tails Chakra, it could elevate her power to another level.
What puzzled her was where Uya was going, and why he wasn't taking her with him.
Where are you going?
" Mount Myōboku... Oh right, I think I forgot to tell you about this."
Uya recalled that after returning from Mount Myōboku, he didn't seem to have mentioned the Sage Body to Kushina. He had only mentioned Sage Mode training to her before, and it was just a casual topic he brought up while chatting with her.
After a brief explanation, Kushina understood, nodded gently, and accepted the Kusanagi Sword Uya.
Even without using the Kusanagi Sword, her power is already difficult for Nagato to deal with. After all, she now has perfect control over the Nine-Tails Chakra, and even if she is not strong in combat, the Nine-Tails can guide her at any time.
With the Kusanagi Sword in hand, it would be difficult for Uya to suppress her, let alone Nagato. Only then could Uya go to Mount Myōboku to train with peace of mind. (To be continued.)
