"Hmm? Chiyama Gekko, do you know what you're talking about?"

"This is a ninja from Sunagakure, a ninja from an enemy country. How can we not hand her over to the Interrogation Department?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't annoyed by Chiyama Gekko's sudden interjection.

Instead, he was extremely curious about his thoughts.

"Um, she's a ninja, but she's also a woman. Those perverts in the Interrogation Department."

"As a gentleman, for this kind of thing, oh dear."

"So, Lord Hokage, can we find another way to obtain information?"

Well, it's still because the other party is a beautiful woman that he's gone soft.

This coward.

Sakumo Hatake covered his face speechlessly, while the others looked at Chiyama Gekko with amusement.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Kid, do you have some misunderstanding about the Interrogation Department?"

"Although we need information, if the other party cooperates, there won't be any torture."

"Once we successfully obtain the information, if she cooperates, we can let her temporarily live in the village. However, someone needs to keep an eye on her, and we have to put a seal on her."

Hearing this, Chiyama Gekko couldn't help but give an embarrassed smile.

Most of his memories of the Interrogation Department came from one person, the future captain of the Interrogation Department, Ibiki Morino.

That guy is really something. He can harm both himself and the other party at the same time. Wow.

It seems that the Interrogation Department doesn't have this extraordinary person yet. Thinking about it, Ibiki isn't even grown up yet.

"I see. Well, for the guarding part, do you think I'm suitable?"

"I also know the Sealing Jutsu. How about the Five Elements Seal? I guarantee she won't cause any trouble in the village."

Saying that, Chiyama Gekko cheerfully walked towards Yugura.

He stretched out his right hand, and chakra surged. In an instant, chakra flames burst out from the five fingers of his right hand.

"Five Elements Seal!"

As the seal fell, a Sealing Tag instantly appeared on the abdomen of Yugura, who was wearing a midriff-baring outfit.

With the completion of the seal, Chiyama Gekko directly disrupted the chakra in Yugura's body. With the Five Elements Seal, the other party would be hindered if she wanted to use chakra.

Her strength would be greatly reduced.

"Chiyama kid, why are you so concerned about a ninja from Sunagakure?"

"If it's because of a beautiful woman, our village isn't short of them either."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely curious about Chiyama Gekko's motives.

Chiyama Gekko fell silent. What could he say? That this Yugura would be betrayed by the village in the future? That as a hero, she would be plotted against and killed by her own people?

To be honest, he didn't really like the other party. He just thought it was extremely sad that such a beautiful woman would die at the hands of the village she served.

Of course, Yugura's back is really nice to look at...

"Korega... When I infiltrated Sunagakure, I found her bathing alone."

"That sense of loneliness constantly radiated from her body."

"She's clearly in the prime of her youth, but just because she has a certain amount of strength, she has to serve the village every day."

"Every day, she goes to relieve herself alone, dragging her exhausted body. Her experience makes me think of war..."

"Just because of war, how many people are there who seem glamorous on the surface but are actually healing their wounds alone behind the scenes?"

As they talked, everyone's eyes fell on Chiyama Gekko.

"I don't like fighting. Even if I have powerful jutsu, I still don't like it."

"I like being free, but I'll also do my part for the village. After all, this is my home."

"Isn't she the same? If possible, I'd like to keep her in Konoha. A lonely person like her wouldn't have chosen the path of fighting if it weren't for the village's request."

"Our Konoha never attacks others actively, right?"

These were Chiyama Gekko's inner monologues. He was a time traveler and knew how cruel this world was.

So he avoided fighting and stayed out of danger.

Although there were intrigues in Konoha Village and Tanzō represented the dark side, Konoha never took the initiative to attack.

As long as he slacked off a bit, he could live in peace. This was his ideal.

These words left everyone present stunned, especially Sakumo Hatake.

With his powerful strength and dedication to the village, didn't he also return home alone and drink by himself after finishing his missions?

War, sigh. If possible, who would want war?

"Alright, stop pretending to be asleep now that you're awake."

Suddenly, a word from Hiruzen Sarutobi (Third Hokage) surprised everyone once again.

Then they all looked at Yugura lying on the sofa.

She's awake? Even Chiyama Gekko was a bit surprised. He had used quite a bit of phosphorus powder.

Logically, she should still be asleep for another half day. Why is she awake now?

Seeing that she'd been discovered, Yugura stopped pretending. She slowly got up and sat on the sofa.

But her eyes stayed on Chiyama Gekko all the time.

This little brat...

He actually peeked at her while she was bathing...

And she was dressed, which meant this damned brat had even dressed her!

Good! Great!

"Humph, so this is what a ninja from Konoha is like..."

"Actually peeking at a woman bathing. Good, great!"

Yugura's angry glare made Chiyama Gekko shiver.

Well, it's over. The person involved knew he had peeked at her.

Damn it! It's all the old Third Hokage's fault!

Chiyama Gekko didn't dare to meet Yugura's gaze. He could only turn his anger into an even hotter rage and stared intently at the Third Hokage.

Why! Why didn't you tell him earlier that she was awake!

He had not only peeked at her but also...ugh! dressed her!

Underwear!

Wasn't this just a complete mess!

"You put the seal on me too, right?"

"Kid, you're something. I'll remember you."

If looks could kill, Chiyama Gekko would have been killed by Yugura by now.

Eaten alive without even being chewed.

Chiyama Gekko was sweating profusely. "Sis, I'm already 15. You're not much older than me. Calling me 'kid' all the time is not appropriate..."

Actually, what he said was right. Yugura was only 18 years old now.

"Since you're awake, you should know your situation."

"Are you going to cooperate on your own, or do we need to make you cooperate?"

Sakumo Hatake was no softie. He wouldn't go soft just because the other party was a woman.

This was a required course for every Anbu member. Never show mercy.

"Do you think I'm likely to cooperate?"

Yugura slowly got up. At about 1.6 meters in height, she exuded the aura of a powerful person.

It really made several people frown slightly.

"If you want information, get it yourself."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already obtained some information from my mind."

After waking up, she always felt that her memory had been rummaged through.

The Mind Reading Jutsu would have some sequelae. This was inevitable.
