"Kid, did you just say you're gonna be my supervisor?"

"Umm... yep!"

Chiyama Gekkō nodded. This was what he'd just said, and he wouldn't deny it.

"Fine. I'm now a captive of Konoha Village. If you want information, come and get it."

Yugura forcefully tore off the Forehead Protector on her head and flung it onto the Hokage's table, then plopped down on the sofa.

It seemed like she'd surrendered, but no one looking at her fiery eyes would think she'd surrendered sincerely.

Only Yugura knew exactly what she was up to.

As a captive, she faced the Hokage of Konoha Village and Konoha's White Fang standing beside him.

She simply had no chance of escaping.

She could only surrender for a while.

And it was Chiyama Gekkō's words just now that made her make this decision.

A lonely person wouldn't have taken the path of battle if it weren't for the requirements of the village.

She was an orphan... discovered by the village due to her talent and then trained. Once she gained some strength, she'd been contributing to the village...

A lonely person, huh... Damn kid...

"Sakumo, take her to the Interrogation Department first. Heiichi Yamanaka will go with you too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the hopeful look on Chiyama Gekkō's face and gave a faint smile.

"You go too. After that, the guarding duty is yours, but you gotta make sure she doesn't attack within the village."

"Otherwise, you know the consequences, Chiyama."

If she attacks within the village, there's only one way out: death.

Chiyama Gekkō understood very well. He nodded solemnly.

...

The Interrogation Department wasn't as gloomy as one might think. It was just an ordinary house.

The same people were standing in front of Yugura.

The only change was that there were a few more people around.

Heiichi Yamanaka placed his hand on her head and activated the Mind Reading Technique to gather information.

In Yugura's mind, she was picturing that damn kid's face when he was talking.

A lonely person...

Yeah, she'd always been lonely. Whether it was on a mission or when she went home, she was always alone...

Damn it... She clearly didn't like being alone, not one bit...

Tears suddenly welled up at the corners of her eyes and streamed down...

"What the hell! Heiichi, is there something wrong with your Mind Reading Technique?"

"How did you make her cry??"

Chiyama Gekkō, who was waiting off to the side, suddenly spotted this situation and dashed into the room.

He was this close to kicking Heiichi Yamanaka out.

And Heiichi Yamanaka had just finished the Mind Reading Technique. He stared at Chiyama Gekkō, who had already raised his fist, looking bewildered.

"What the fuck! What are you doing! I didn't do shit. I just read her memories."

"At most, her mind'll be all messed up for a while. Her crying has nothing to do with me!"

Yugura suddenly snapped out of it, wiped away her tears, and resumed her usual cold demeanor.

"Can I leave now?"

"Kid, get me outta here."

Hearing this, Chiyama Gekkō released Heiichi Yamanaka and nodded.

Under everyone's gazes, he led Yugura out of here.

Stepping out of the Interrogation Department, Chiyama Gekko uncuffed Yugura.

"The handcuffs can be removed for you, but the Five Elements Seal on your body cannot be lifted."

"After all, your identity is quite special. From now on, you may have to live in my house."

"Don't worry. I'm not the only one living in my house. There are others."

Yugura looked at him and snorted disdainfully.

"What? Am I that scary?"

"You didn't act like this when you peeked at me taking a shower."

"I'm actually quite curious. Even though I was taking a shower, I didn't let my guard down."

"You have really strong stealth abilities."

Chiyama Gekko didn't know how to respond. Should he tell her that he had Invisibility?

Wouldn't that make peeping even easier?

"Humph, fine if you don't want to say. Let's go, kid."

"Hey, can you stop calling me 'kid' all the time? You're not that much older than me..."

Chiyama Gekko was really unhappy about the way Yugura addressed him.

How was he a kid? Let me tell you, having lived two lifetimes, he was at least forty years old now!

"I don't even know your name. Also, are you younger than me?"

Chiyama Gekko:... Serves me right! Why did I have to argue with her?

"My name is Chiyama Gekko, Of the Gekkō Clan in Konoha."

"Come on, I'll take you to my house."

When they got back to his house, Ebisu Sami was still sitting in front of the room, looking at Hayate Gekkō.

Suddenly seeing Chiyama Gekko come back, she was quite happy at first. But her happiness only lasted for three seconds before she froze.

"Holy crap, Chiyama kid, you're something else. Where did you abduct this girl from?"

"Tsk tsk, other than that, you have good taste."

"Big boobs and a big butt. She's definitely fertile."

Yugura:?????

Chiyama Gekko: Oh my god...

"Good, good. If your parents knew that you're already dating a girl at such a young age, they'd be over the moon."

"This way, the Gekko family line can be carried on."

"Girl, don't worry. Although our Chiyama kid may seem unreliable."

"Um... the things he does don't seem very reliable either, but he's actually a nice person."

Yugura had never been greeted so warmly before. For a moment, she was a bit stunned.

But seeing how enthusiastic this aunt was, she felt embarrassed to remain silent.

"Uh... Hello, my name is Yugura..."

"Yugura, right? Nice name. Sounds like a beautiful girl."

"I'm Ebisu Sami. Just call me Aunt Sami. I watched this kid grow up."

"Come on, are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

Ebisu Sami completely ignored Chiyama Gekko and pulled Yugura towards the courtyard.

Chiyama Gekko stood there stunned. It was only after a long while that he let out a soft laugh.

Originally, he was worried that Ebisu Sami wouldn't be able to accept that he suddenly brought back a woman. It seemed he was overthinking it.

"Aunt Sami, just now you said that Chiyama Gekko didn't do any good deeds."

"What kind of things did he do?"

Hearing this, Ebisu Sami burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, there are so many bad things he's done."

"Like peeping at others taking a shower..."

Chiyama Gekko was left completely dumbfounded.

"Hey! Aunt Sami! If possible, don't talk about these things!"

Yugura: Hehe, you little scoundrel, so you're a repeat offender.

Different from the cheerfulness in the Gekkō family.

Inside the Hokage Building.

"Minato, what do you mean by this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, looked at the resignation letter that Sakumo Hatake put on the table, a hint of shock showing on his face.

"Hehe, as I'm getting older, I'm not as decisive as I used to be."

"If it hadn't been for Chiyama's Flying Thunder God Technique during this mission, I'm afraid I would have done something regrettable."

"Maybe the mission would have failed too."

Sakumo Hatake smiled faintly.

During this mission, he suddenly realized that he wasn't as capable as before, whether in terms of willpower or thinking.

"Moreover, I'm just resigning from the position of captain of Konoha's Anbu. I'm not quitting being a ninja."
