Chapter 198 Keeping a Mistress
Chapter 198 Keeping a Mistress
Ma Buyi ran quickly back to her home. The moment she pushed open the door, the familiar furnishings brought tears to her eyes.
On her desk is a childhood photo of her with her parents, and in her wardrobe are several ninja outfits that she often wore.
The ninja tool bag in the corner is still the same as it was before she left.
This is her only haven in Hidden Cloud Village, and the only place where she can feel safe at this moment.
She rushed to the desk, her hands trembling as she picked up paper and pen, her mind flashing back to the despair-inducing power of the Uchiha Mitsurugi.
A fully-formed Susanoo over 1000 meters tall, the Flying Thunder God Technique for instantaneous teleportation... If the truth were told to the village, the Hidden Cloud Village, with its strength, would be no match for the Three Peaks. Instead, it would enrage them, plunging the entire village into annihilation.
"No, I can't say it..." Mabui gripped the pen tightly, her knuckles turning white, but in the end, she crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
She abandoned the idea of writing a letter for help, and instead opened the wardrobe, only packing a few changes of clothes and a group photo in front of her desk.
She didn't want to bring too much stuff, as if that would allow her to deceive herself into thinking it was just a temporary departure, not a permanent betrayal.
After taking one last look at her familiar home, Mabui took a deep breath, stuffed the group photo into her ninja tool bag, and turned to hurry towards the two Yukimon family members' house.
She didn't know what awaited her, but she knew that at this moment, she had no choice but to comply.
When Mabui arrived at the door of the two teak-door men again, she hesitated for a moment before gently knocking.
There was no immediate response from inside the room, but instead, a faint sound came from within that made her cheeks burn.
Mabuya's body stiffened instantly, and the tips of her ears turned red. She had carried out many reconnaissance missions and was no stranger to this kind of voice, but she never expected that the two Yuzuki-no-Kami sisters would accept Mitsumine so quickly.
"How could it be so fast..." Mabui bit her lower lip, her heart filled with curiosity, yet she also felt embarrassed.
She gently pushed the door and found it unlocked. She peeked inside and saw that the living room was empty, while intermittent, heart-pounding sounds were coming from the direction of the shower room.
Mabu-yi's face instantly turned red to her ears. She quickly took a few steps back, gently closed the door, and stood under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, not daring to go any closer.
She crossed her arms, her mind racing with various speculations: Were the two older sisters from the teakwood gate forced? Or had they truly fallen for Mitsumine? But they were clearly on the island, and the older sister had shown such disgust...
A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard, rustling the cherry blossom leaves as if mocking her wild thoughts.
He found a rock and sat down, his eyes glancing at the door every now and then. He was both expectant and nervous, his fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of his clothes, and even his breathing became cautious.
Time passed slowly, the sun gradually set in the west, and the shadows in the courtyard grew longer and longer.
He sat on the stone in his hempen clothes, his legs feeling numb, and the noise inside the house gradually subsided.
She stood up, dusted herself off, hesitated whether to knock on the door, but was afraid of witnessing an awkward scene, so she could only pace back and forth at the door.
Just then, two slightly hoarse voices came from inside the house: "Mabuya, is that you? Come in."
Mabuya's heart tightened. She took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat awkward. The two men with teak doors sat on the sofa, wearing loose, light-colored kimonos. Their hair was still wet, and their cheeks were flushed. They avoided looking at her.
Uchiha Mitsunori leaned against the wall, a satisfied smile on his lips.
He saw the man in linen clothes come in, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You're back? Have you packed your things?"
The woman in hemp clothing spoke in a barely audible voice, not daring to look at the two men through the teak door. She could only stare down at the tips of her shoes: "Hmm... I'm all packed. I can leave anytime."
Seeing Azabu's embarrassed expression, the two Yuzuki-mon (masters) blushed even more and quickly changed the subject: "Um... Mitsumine said he'll take us back to the Land of Water. He'll be there quickly using the Flying Thunder God Technique, so there's no rush. Would you like to have a cup of tea and rest for a bit?"
"No need, sister, I'm not thirsty." Mabuya quickly shook her head, still avoiding eye contact with the two teak-wooden figures.
She could sense that the two teak doors seemed somewhat different from before.
The sharpness in her brows had lessened, replaced by a gentler look, and even the way she looked at that man was no longer purely one of resistance.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Uchiha Mitsunori broke the silence with a smile: "Now that you're all packed, let's prepare to set off. I've already made arrangements at the royal palace in the Land of Water; it's much more comfortable than here."
Upon hearing the words "Royal Palace," Mabui's heart stirred: "Lord Mimine, we are both ninjas from Kumogakure. Our current identities are special, and moving directly into the Royal Palace might cause controversy and make it easy for outsiders to discover your relationship with us. Perhaps... we could temporarily be placed near the Royal Palace, which would make it easier for you to take care of us and avoid unnecessary trouble."
Uchiha Mitsunori paused for a moment, looked at the two beauties, and teased, "You make a good point, so I'll do as you say and settle you in a mansion near the palace. To be honest, this is my first time 'keeping a beauty in a golden house,' so it's quite a novel experience."
The man in linen clothes blushed instantly, and she lowered her head, no longer speaking.
The two teakwood-clad figures were also a little embarrassed, and gently tugged at the sleeve of the linen-clad woman, signaling her not to say anything more.
Uchiha Mitsunaga gently raised his hand and said, "I'm preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport you all to the Land of Water. Are you ready?"
He took a deep breath and nodded.
The two women from the teakwood family also stood up, gently grasped the hand of the woman in linen, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, your older sister is here."
The warmth of her palms eased the unease in Mabuya's heart.
Uchiha Mitsunori looked at the two's tightly clasped hands, said nothing, and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly enveloping the three of them.
When they landed again, the three of them were standing in front of a mansion near the Water Kingdom's palace.
The mansion occupies a vast area, and the courtyard is filled with precious flowers and plants.
There were also servants waiting at the entrance, clearly prepared in advance.
Uchiha Mitsunori led the two into the mansion and said to a female housekeeper, "These two will be the mistresses of this place from now on. You will have to follow their instructions."
The housekeeper bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Uchiha Mitsunori took their hands: "From now on, this will be your new home. You can choose any room you like, and if you're not satisfied with the furnishings, you can have them changed. There are twelve maids here to take care of your daily needs. If you don't want to live together, you can choose any of the several mansions nearby..."
