The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 362 You big pervert, aren't you tempted?

In recent days, the segment of beautiful TV host Wang Yuyan boldly confessing her feelings to Uchiha Mitsumine on a news broadcast has become a hot topic of discussion.

On the streets, in the parks, in the teahouses... the people were discussing it with great enthusiasm.

As soon as Uchiha Mitsunori finished the meeting, a soft, warm hand gently hooked his arm around hers.

Ino Yamanaka was dressed in a smart light pink business suit, with the collar slightly open, revealing her snow-white neck.

She held the folder in one hand, but pressed her body close to his, her warm breath brushing against his ear: "My lord, you're finally back."

A sly smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with gossip: "The entire Water Kingdom is talking about Wang Yuyan right now. She confessed her feelings to you publicly on the news yesterday, and so many girls are envious!"

As she spoke, she sat on his lap, nuzzled his nose, and said coquettishly, "You have such composure. Even after making such a commotion, you can still calm down and talk about government affairs with officials."

Uchiha Mitsumine reached out and grasped her hand resting on her shoulder, pinching her nose: "Why are you talking about her? What rumors did you hear?"

Yamanaka Ino nestled into his arm, unable to hide her excitement: "I just received news that Wang Yuyan has taken a photography team to the border of Akatsuki Country, saying she's doing frontline reporting, but she's clearly chasing you to the front lines!"

She looked up at him, a hint of calculation in her eyes, but it was concealed by a gentle smile: "Such a brave and devoted beauty, aren't you even a little bit moved? I had someone investigate. Her father is the CEO of the largest television station in the Land of Water. She comes from a respectable family and has admired you since she was a child, saying she wanted to marry a hero like you. So, she has never been in a relationship and is still a... virgin."

As she finished speaking, she lightly hooked her fingertip around his chin and teased him in a flirtatious tone, "Our 'big pervert'... are you... tempted?"

Uchiha Mitsunori gently squeezed her fidgeting fingers, smiling with a hint of helplessness: "You silly girl, you're so focused on these things. Do you really want her to enter the palace?"

Yamanaka Ino grasped his wrist and pressed his hand against her cheek, her eyes becoming more earnest: "Wang Yuyan is straightforward and devoted to you. Seeing her reminds me of my past self. So I want to help her and make her your woman too. That way, when I marry into the family, I'll have another friend to talk to."

Uchiha Mitsunori looked at the smiling woman in his arms and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers: "What you said makes some sense, but the front line is too dangerous. If she, an ordinary person, goes there, she might just cause trouble."

"You big pervert, it seems you've finally fallen for him!"

Yamanaka Ino tiptoed and gave him a light peck on the lips: "If you're really worried, why don't we go to the front lines together? I can keep an eye on things for you, so you don't get distracted by the beauty."

Upon hearing this, Kurama Yakumo, who was standing to the side organizing documents, looked up.

She was wearing an elegant light blue secretary's uniform, with a jade pendant around her neck. It was given to her by Uchiha Mitsunori on her birthday last year.

Seeing the two being so affectionate, she didn't go forward to disturb them, but said softly, "My lord, if you and Ino both go to the front lines, the daily affairs of the palace will need someone to manage them. I will stay in the palace to receive intelligence and coordinate logistics, so you can be more at ease at the front lines."

Uchiha Mitsunori released Ino and walked to Kurama Yakumo's side: "No need for all that trouble. A shadow clone at the palace will suffice. If there's an emergency, I can return anytime using the Flying Thunder God Technique. You're coming with us; I love the feeling of having two women on either side of me. I'll feel uneasy without you!"

Kurama Yakumo's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded gently, "I will follow your instructions, sir."

Seeing this, Yamanaka Ino quickly stepped forward and took Mitsumine's other arm, her tone regaining its usual liveliness: "That's right, it'll be more fun if the three of us go together! But sir, don't try to keep changing the subject. The borders of Akatsuki are dangerous enough, and Wang Yuyan is a host who can't even kill a chicken. If something happens to her, can you really feel at ease?"

She shook his arm, her eyes conveying a clear "I understand you" message: "If you're truly moved, why not give her a chance and let her know how you feel?"

Uchiha Mitsunori, unable to resist her pestering any longer, could only sigh helplessly: "Alright, alright, we'll talk about it when we get to the front lines. If you keep causing trouble, the teleportation array will be waiting impatiently."

As he spoke, he casually put his arm around their waists and kissed each of them on the cheek, making them giggle.

Using the portal, the three quickly arrived at a city on the border of the Land of Dawn.

The atmosphere here is much more tense than in the royal palace. Patrolling ninjas can be seen on the distant hills, and soldiers in the stronghold are busy reinforcing fortifications and moving weapons and supplies.

Uchiha Sanfeng had just instructed the soldiers to arrange accommodations for Wang Yuyan's team.

Yamanaka Ino found an excuse and secretly went to find Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan is with a photographer, shooting some everyday scenes at the border.

Just as the photographer set up the camera, Wang Yuyan was pulled away by Jingye.

Wang Yuyan knew Yamanaka Ino; she was Lord Sanfeng's personal secretary, so her tone carried a hint of respect.

She asked, somewhat bewildered, "Lady Ino, is there something you need from me?"

Yamanaka Ino looked her up and down, noticing that there was some dust on the collar of her windbreaker, but it still couldn't hide her beautiful appearance. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

She smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't be so reserved, just call me Ino. I know how you feel about Masahiro, and I really admire your courage to confess in front of the whole country."

Wang Yuyan's cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes darted away: "I... I just think Lord Sanfeng is very powerful and I want to do something for the Water Kingdom."

Ino chuckled and nudged her arm, teasing, "Stop pretending, you young lady. You chased after the master all the way to the front lines, and you still say it's just for work? I've been by his side for so long, I can tell at a glance who's interested in him."

She changed the subject, her eyes becoming serious: "But let me tell you, you're right—although the lord is a great man, he doesn't have the airs of those nobles, and he's very kind to everyone around him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan's eyes brightened slightly, but quickly dimmed again: "But Lord Sanfeng has many princesses... and the way he looked at me just now seemed to treat me like an ordinary citizen."

"Silly girl, you don't understand."

Ino leaned closer to her, lowering her voice even further, with a hint of "sharing a secret": "On the surface, the adult seems very serious, but he's actually a 'big pervert'... He's most susceptible to 'taking the initiative'. You see, he's usually gentle to everyone, but if someone dares to get close to him or be nice to him, he knows exactly what's going on."

She paused, deliberately keeping him in suspense: "Let me tell you, last time I deliberately handed him the wrong document while he was handling official business, and took the opportunity to snuggle up to him and act cute. Guess what? He said I was being silly, but he secretly brought me my favorite osmanthus cake."

Wang Yuyan's eyes widened, and she subconsciously asked, "Really...really? What should I do?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Ino still pretended to be sincere: "It's very simple. Every evening, the lord goes to the watchtower at the outpost to check the border situation. You can 'happen' to go there too, talk to him about the live broadcast plan from the front, and tell him about your admiration for him... Remember, don't be too deliberate, be natural."

She took Wang Yuyan's hand and subtly hinted, "And you should know, those princesses in the lord's inner quarters are all very scheming. If you could become the lord's woman, and I marry into the family later, we could look after each other. It's better than being bullied by others."

Wang Yuyan then understood Jingye's thoughts, but she didn't dislike them... She knew that her family background was ordinary, and if she could really enter the palace, having an ally like Jingye would indeed save her a lot of trouble.

She nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with determination: "Ino, thank you! I... I'll try!"

Yamanaka Ino chuckled and patted her hand: "That's right. Go and prepare for the interview. Don't keep the adults waiting. Remember, be brave. The adults won't treat you badly."

Just as the two finished talking, Uchiha Mitsunori and Kurama Yakumo walked over.

Seeing them standing together, Uchiha Mitsunori asked with some confusion, "What are you talking about? You seem so happy."

Yamanaka Ino immediately stepped forward, took his arm, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just chatting with the host about the details of the live broadcast, and also telling her that you've arranged for Jonin to protect them."

She secretly gave Wang Yuyan a wink, and Wang Yuyan understood, nodding quickly: "Thank you, Lord Sanfeng, and thank you, Lord Ino. We will start the live stream as soon as possible so as not to delay everyone."

Uchiha Mitsunori didn't think much of it and simply nodded: "Be careful. If you need anything, ask the soldiers for help."

After saying that, he turned around and continued to check the defense map, but he did not notice the determination in Wang Yuyan's eyes and the smug smile on Yamanaka Ino's mouth.

Kurama Yakumo walked up to Ino and whispered, "You certainly know how to go with the flow."

Yamanaka Ino blinked, her tone tinged with smugness: "We're all doing this for ourselves, and for the master. Besides, Wang Yuyan is so innocent; she's much easier to deal with than those scheming princesses."

As Wang Yuyan stood in front of the camera, recounting stories from the front lines, her gaze would occasionally drift towards the watchtower.

At this moment, in the teahouse of the capital of the Land of Water, the people were gathered around the television, waiting to watch the live broadcast from the border.

Grandpa Zhang leaned closer to the screen, smiling as he said to the person next to him, "Look, it's about to start! I hope to see the host Wang Yuyan and Sanfeng Daming on screen together!"

Mrs. Li excitedly clutched the hem of her clothes: "If it really works out, we'll have to celebrate properly!"

On the screen, Wang Yuyan stands before the border outpost and begins to recount the story of the border region of the Kingdom of Dawn...
