I don't believe in the will of fire

Time flew by like this, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the knock on the door rang again.

"How did you come?"

Outside the door was Matt Dai, who had already changed into a Jonin uniform. However, his expression did not seem to be very happy, but rather a little worried.

"come in."

"Well, I'm here to thank you, captain. If it weren't for the captain, I wouldn't be able to become a Jonin. In addition, there is one more thing..."

Dai looked like he was hesitating to speak, which made Shenyue a little confused.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you can help with?"

"No, Captain Shenyue, haven't you been out recently?"

"Well, what's wrong? I've been practicing at home these days."

Dai then came to a realization and explained: "Well, recently some very bad words about you suddenly spread in the village."

Shenyue was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"what happened?"

"I also accidentally heard that it is related to the technique developed by you, captain. It is said that Hokage-sama hopes that you can dedicate that technique to the village, but you are very open-minded and hope to use a lot of compensation in exchange, so let Hokage-sama

Very angry. In addition, there is a rumor..."

Shenyue's brows frowned.

"What is it?"

"They said that when you were on a mission to protect the daimyo, you seduced the daimyo's daughter, Princess Asuka, for the sake of glory and wealth. However, you were discovered by the daimyo, and then you returned to the village in despair."

"..."

Although it felt a little baffling at first, Shenyue figured it out in just a few breaths.

"No wonder, after waiting for so many days, I didn't see the third generation bring anything to exchange with him for the Rasengan technique."

“What a disappointment!”

Now, there was an explanation for Kushina being sent out to the village.

"Sure enough, dogs can't change their habit of eating shit!"

such a pity...

"...What do you mean? Captain?" Shenyue's plain look made Dai feel a little strange and a little anxious.

"It's nothing." Shenyue glanced at Dai, looking at his concerned look, she could only say that Konoha is really being ruined by some people now, but what does this have to do with him.

"Thank you for telling me this."

"You are too polite, captain, but you should be more careful next time. I think something is wrong this time."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. You just became a Jonin recently, so you'd better take on more missions and work hard to make money."

"Well, I'll take my leave then!"

After Dai left, Shenyue also sat back on the bed, then took out a scroll, unfolded it and placed it in front of her eyes.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect you to take action first, so I can't just sit back and wait for death."

"The art of channeling."

Visible to the naked eye, white clay spiders the size of fingernails ran out of the scroll. There were hundreds of them densely packed. After falling to the ground, they blended into the floor and walls and disappeared.

"Go, little darlings, the show is about to begin."

After all these spiders disappear, continue sitting cross-legged and enter into practice.

"After a while of patience, it's almost over."

——————————

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"What about the kid in the village named Uzumaki Kamizuki?"

"Hey...Uzumaki Kamizuki? I remember, isn't he the hero of the village?"

"What kind of hero is he? You don't know yet. I heard that he actually seduced the daimyo's daughter while on a mission. After being discovered, he was driven back to the village in despair."

"Eh...seriously, he's just a child."

"I've also heard about this matter. It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. Can such a young child actually understand adult matters? How did his parents teach him?"

"I heard that he was an orphan who was rescued from the Kingdom of Whirlpool by Hokage-sama, otherwise he would have died along with the destruction of the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

"So Hokage-sama is his savior."

"Who says it's not, but, just like that, he actually doesn't know how to repay his kindness. I heard that the child developed a ninjutsu. Lord Hokage hopes that he can dedicate it to the village so that all the ninjas in the village can learn it, but that child actually opened his mouth like a lion.

, asking for a lot of money, making Lord Hokage very angry."

"No way, it's true or not, everything he has was given to him by the village. Without the village, he wouldn't even be a ninja."

"So, he didn't think he was a ninja in the village at all. This is why he wanted to seduce the daimyo's daughter and wanted the toad to eat the swan meat, but he was discovered. Hehe..."

"I didn't expect that such a young child could be such a pervert. That child is not yet an adult. I want my girl to stay away from that child in the future."

"Where did you get this information? Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true. It is said that the Jonin in the village found out about it when he was on a mission in Kamakura Castle. Everyone in Kamakura City knows about it."

"It's really embarrassing for us Konoha. If this spreads to other countries and ninja villages, our Konoha's reputation will be ruined."

"Keep your voice down, that kid is very powerful. If you find out, be careful about your life."

"Why, does he still dare to attack people in the village?"

"Hey, why don't you dare? I heard that when Hokage-sama's Anbu ninjas came looking for him, they were knocked unconscious by one punch. I guess you can't even take a punch."

"If he dares, just wait for those guys from the Uchiha clan to take action..."

——————————

In an underground base somewhere in Konoha, Danzo was really listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Danzo-sama, after a short period of fermentation, rumors about Uzumaki Kamizuki have spread in the village."

"What's the effect?"

"Not bad, most people's emotions have been aroused."

"How did the kid react?"

"this...."

The men immediately didn't know how to answer.

"What's wrong?"

"We have been monitoring the child, but since the child returned to the village, except for Matt Dai's promotion to Jonin the next day and staying one night at the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki that day, he has not left his side for a week.

room, so...”

Danzo's eyes narrowed.

"In other words, you can't even determine whether the child knows what happened in the village."

The subordinate was startled and hurriedly replied: "You should know if you know. After Matt Dai became a Jonin, he went to see him once. From the look on his face at that time, he should have known about the matter and notified him.

"Uzumaki Shenyue, but if the child stays in the house and doesn't come out, the effect of the rumors will weaken a lot as time goes by, and by then..."

Danzo also frowned, this was something he didn't expect.

When you meet someone who doesn't know what's going on outside the window, this kind of gossip attack seems to have no effect.

However, it is not impossible.

"If that's the case, he doesn't want to come out, so we'll find a way to get him out."

"I understand, then I will make arrangements later."

"How are the other investigations going? Where did the child go during those days when he disappeared? And the three children who were with him?"

"We have also found some information about this. The three children are from the Land of Rain, and they are named Mai, Yahiko and Konan. Among them, the girl named Mai is suspected to be an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, but there is no information on how the two knew each other.

, as for the other two orphans from the Country of Rain, the last place they appeared together was in a hot spring hotel on the border of the Country of Fire, but they disappeared four days later, and no one knows where they went?"

"I understand. Keep investigating. We must find the traces of these three children."

"Understood!"
