Chapter 272 Let's capture Heitu and make her Dad's concubine!
When the spatial vortex dissipated, the three had already arrived in the Land of Earth.
The sky here is very blue, and the distant mountains expose dark brown rocks.
Uchiha Zetsu stood on tiptoe and looked out: "Dad, why are all the mountains here so bare!"
Sanfeng smiled and nodded, then handed a dust-proof cloak to Zetsu: "The Land of Earth is at a high altitude, so trees don't grow very tall, and there's mostly low-lying grass. Let's wander around first, see what's special about this place, and then we can look for the Tailed Beasts."
The three of them walked along the mountain path and soon came to see a bustling town.
This is a town on the border between the Land of Earth and the former Land of Waterfall. The houses on both sides of the street are half rock buildings unique to the Land of Earth and half wooden pavilions in the style of the Land of Waterfall. Among the passersby, there are soldiers wearing Iwagakure ninja uniforms and villagers wearing traditional clothing of the Land of Waterfall. However, the atmosphere is not harmonious, and you can vaguely see the vigilance in the villagers' eyes.
"Dad! Look at that girl in the red dress!"
Jue suddenly stopped, her eyes sparkling as she pointed to something not far away, her little face full of surprise.
The figure stood out in the crowd, wearing a well-tailored red Chinese cheongsam with pale gold cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs. The skirt hem reached just to the knees, revealing slender calves, and was paired with a pair of black ankle boots, making her look both lively and elegant.
Following Zetsu's gaze, Uchiha Mitsunori saw that the girl was about 1.52 meters tall, with neat short black hair and wispy bangs that curled up slightly, making her face look particularly small.
She possesses the Seven-Tails' chakra; no wonder Zetsu noticed her.
Uchiha Mitsumine blinked and explained softly, "That's Kurotsuchi, Onoki's granddaughter. It seems that after Iwagakure subdued the Seven-Tails, they chose her to be the Seven-Tails' jinchūriki."
Uchiha Zetsu's gaze was fixed on Kurotsuchi's cheongsam, his little hands tightly clutching Kaguya's hem, as he whispered, "Mommy, that lady's red dress is so pretty! Let's buy a few too! It's so much prettier than my pink dress!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki followed Zetsu's gaze and couldn't help but nod.
The Chinese-style cheongsam perfectly accentuates the lively spirit of Heitu.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone whispering in the direction of Heitu, "Sister Heitu, you look so pretty in red, like a little beauty! I wish I had clothes like that..."
Although these words were spoken softly, they were overheard by Heitu, who had sharp ears.
She turned her head sharply, her gaze locking onto Jue, and saw the way he was staring at her cheongsam.
But when she heard what Jue said next, she was stunned.
"It's a pity that Sister Heitu is too young, otherwise I could take her back to be my father's concubine, and I could see Sister Heitu every day!"
Heitu strode up to Jue, hands on his hips, and scolded him with a frown, "How can you talk like that, kid? What concubine? If someone hears you talking like that, you'll easily get beaten up! But... do you like my cheongsam?"
She looked down at her cheongsam, her tone softening. It was still a happy thing to have her clothes liked by someone her age.
Never expecting her words to be overheard, she tilted her little face up and said with a grin, "I absolutely love your red dress! Do you sell them here? I want to buy a few too, any price is fine! By the way, Sister Heitu, are there any fun places to visit around here? We're here on a trip and would like to hire you as our guide. How about 1 million a day? I can use the rest of the money to buy a cheongsam!"
When Heitu heard "1 million a day", his eyes lit up instantly.
Although she was Onoki's granddaughter, she had never seen so much money before. Moreover, patrol missions were already tedious, so being able to earn money to spend a day with someone and even help Jue find a cheongsam shop was simply a good thing.
She tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, then glanced at her patrol teammates waiting in the distance, and whispered, "Then I'll tell my teammates I'll spend the day with you! I know a cheongsam shop, it's in the alley up ahead, I'll take you there later!"
Uchiha Zetsu jumped up excitedly, reaching out to touch the hem of Kurotsuchi's cheongsam, but then carefully withdrew his hand, afraid of getting it dirty.
"Yay! Thank you, Sister Heitu! Shall we go to the cheongsam shop now?"
"No rush, I'll take you to eat something delicious, then watch the water dance, and finally go to a cheongsam shop, how about that?"
Heitu smiled and suggested that she had long wanted to find someone to share the interesting things about the town.
Kaguya Otsutsuki smiled helplessly as she watched the two become so familiar with each other: "This child, when she sees clothes she likes, she's more enthusiastic than anything else."
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and nodded, "With Kurotsuchi as our guide, we can learn about the Land of Earth, fulfill Zetsu's wish, and also explore the situation in Iwagakure. It's a win-win-win situation."
Kurotsuchi quickly greeted her teammates and then led Zetsu, Mitsumine, and Kaguya on a tour of the town.
She first took the three of them to the most famous grilled rock fish stall in the Land of Earth. The stall owner used volcanic rock as a grilling plate, wrapped the fresh fish in spices, and grilled it until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a faint rocky aroma.
Jue took a bite of the grilled fish, her eyes immediately lighting up: "So delicious! Even better than the grilled meat in Hidden Cloud Village! But I still want to get to the cheongsam shop quickly!"
Kurotsuchi was amused by Zetsu's eagerness and quickened his pace to take them to see the traditional water dance of the former Takigakure.
The dancers use chakra to manipulate the water, making it dance to the music, sometimes transforming into butterflies, sometimes into flowers.
Zetsu watched intently, but still whispered to Kaguya, "Mom, the Water Dance is beautiful, but I still want to wear the red dress."
Kaguya smiled and ruffled her hair: "I'll take you there in a bit, don't rush."
After enjoying the water dance, Heitu finally brought Jue to the cheongsam shop.
The shop is small, but it is filled with all kinds of Chinese cheongsams, in red, pink and light blue, with different patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.
Jue rushed in immediately, picked up a pink cheongsam embroidered with a little fox, and held it up against her body.
"Mom...does this one look good? And this red one, it's the same as Sister Heitu's!"
The shop owner was a kind old lady who loved the pieces. She smiled and said, "Young lady, you have excellent taste. These two are newly made and suit you very well."
Uchiha Mitsunori paid with a smile, while Zetsu hugged his new cheongsam, beaming with joy and skipping along as he walked.
As the sun set, Heitu reluctantly bid farewell to Jue: "I have to patrol tomorrow, so I can't play with you anymore. If you still want to explore, you can go to the volcano viewing platform on the east side; you can see a beautiful sunset over the volcano from there. Oh, and if your new cheongsam doesn't fit, you can come find me again; I know a tailor!"
Jue waved her little hand: "Okay! Goodbye, Sister Heitu! I'm going to wear my new cheongsam tomorrow!"
Watching Kurotsuchi's departing figure, Mitsumine said to Kaguya, "We're on our honeymoon, let's go to the observation deck first, and then go find the Tailed Beasts tonight."
