Chapter 224 Uzuki Yugao, Love is Selfish.
After the Land of Fire signed the mediation agreement, the ninja world indeed fell into a rare period of peace.
The three major ninja villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure remained inactive, and the five princes of the Land of Fire also kept their promise, each guarding their own territory and refraining from further warfare.
The Land of Water, under the guise of "assisting in maintaining order," quietly infiltrated its influence into every corner of the Land of Fire.
Inside the council chamber of the Water Kingdom's palace, sunlight streamed through the carved windows and fell upon a long table covered with scrolls.
Uchiha Mitsunaga sat in the main seat, a calligraphy brush between his fingers, with a thick stack of documents in front of him.
But after reading only a few pages, he irritably threw the brush on the table, his brows furrowed tightly.
The tailed beast chakra within his body began to stir again, and even with the suppression of the Celestial Man Curse Seal, it often plunged him into inexplicable excitement and irritability.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself with chakra, but only felt the restlessness grow stronger.
Just then, steady footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Wearing a dark blue secretary uniform and holding a black folder, Uzuki Yugao walked steadily into the hall with her long hair neatly tied into a bun.
With a smile on her face, she said softly, "Your Excellency, this is the immigration statistics report from the Land of Fire that you requested, as well as the agenda for this afternoon's meeting with the elders of the Land of Water."
As the Uchiha clan's personal secretary, Uzuki Yugao always maintained a professional distance.
She was familiar with his work habits, knew his schedule, and could even anticipate his needs, yet she never dared to overstep her bounds in the slightest.
The moment he saw her, Uchiha Mitsunori's pent-up frustration suddenly found an outlet.
He stood up and strode forward. Before Xi Yan could hand over the documents, he grabbed her and the folder and pulled her into his arms.
The folder fell to the ground with a "thud," scattering its papers all over the floor, but no one paid any attention.
Uzuki Yugao stiffened, as if burned, and tried to struggle. Her professional instincts made her subconsciously restrain herself, but her voice carried an undisguised panic: "Daimyo-sama... please don't do this..."
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she pressed her hands against his chest, trying to keep her distance, but his arms held her firmly like iron clamps, making her unable to move.
Uchiha Mitsunori lowered his head, his nose touching the top of her head. His breath was filled with her faint fragrance, which unexpectedly calmed his restless emotions slightly.
His voice brooked no argument: "Xi Yan, when it's just the two of us, you can call me Sanfeng. Don't you understand my feelings?"
Uzuki Yugao lowered her head even further, her long eyelashes concealing the panic and excitement in her eyes.
She understood, of course, the other person's feelings.
Actually, she also liked him, admired his courage in pacifying the ninja world, and was also fond of the gentleness he occasionally showed.
She was a very traditional person, and faced with such domineering intimacy, she was somewhat at a loss: "I... I'm just your secretary, we can't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sanfeng lowered his head and kissed him.
This kiss carried his long-suppressed restlessness and excitement, unlike his usual gentleness, it was filled with urgency and possessiveness.
Uzuki Yugao's eyes widened suddenly, then slowly closed, and the hand that was pressed against his chest gradually fell limply.
Her rationality crumbled quietly in the face of this sudden tenderness.
The kiss lasted a long time, until they were both slightly out of breath.
Uchiha Mitsunori became increasingly agitated, holding her waist tightly and preventing her from leaving.
He looked down at Yugao Uzuki's flushed cheeks and moist lips, and a strong sense of possessiveness welled up inside him.
He bent down, picked her up horizontally, and turned to walk towards the lounge inside the council hall.
As Uzuki Yugao lay in his arms, she felt weak all over, even her fingers, which usually gripped documents tightly, had lost their strength.
Looking at his taut jawline and feeling his steady gait, she felt both flustered and strangely expectant.
Just as he was about to step into the lounge, she used the last of her sanity to gently grab his collar, her voice trembling, "Sanfeng... no... no..."
Uchiha Mitsunori paused, looking down at the panic and reluctance in her eyes, his excitement replaced by tenderness.
He didn't stop, but instead gently kissed her lips: "Xi Yan, I will take responsibility for you."
After saying that, he carried her into the lounge and gently closed the palace door.
Before long, the heavy breathing of the two men, mixed with occasional low moans, could be heard from the lounge, sounding particularly clear in the quiet council hall.
After an unknown amount of time, the commotion finally subsided.
"Ding, the host and Daoist partner: Uzuki Yugao have engaged in dual cultivation. Affection +16%, Chakra limit +5, Focus +1."
"Ding, Dao Companion: Uzuki Yugao's affection level has reached 90%."
Uzuki Yugao leaned against him, covered by his brocade robe that still carried his warmth and unique scent, making her feel exceptionally at ease.
She remained silent for a moment, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness and a trace of barely perceptible guilt.
"Sanfeng, I am now your woman, and there is no room for anyone else in my heart... But Moonlight Gale is still stationed at the border. If it weren't for me..."
At this point, her voice lowered, and a hint of apology appeared in her eyes: "I feel really sorry for him. Could you transfer him back from the border? At least so he won't have to stay in such a dangerous place anymore."
Uchiha Mitsunori looked down at her, his fingertips gently brushing against the corners of her reddened eyes.
Back then, Hayate Gekko really liked Yugao Uzuki, and then he was sent by Mitsunaka Uchiha to guard the border for more than 5 years.
He pulled Uzuki Yugao into his arms, letting her cheek rest against his chest: "Silly girl, this isn't your fault. Love is selfish. Tomorrow, I'll draft a transfer order. Actually, Gekko Hayate has a Bloodline Limit of Penetration, so he won't lack women. It's just that his body is too weak, which is why he's being trained in the military."
Upon hearing this, Uzuki Yugao's eyes instantly lit up, as if filled with starlight.
She leaned forward and gently kissed his lips, her gesture tinged with shyness: "Thank you, Sanfeng."
It was rare for Uzuki Yugao to take the initiative to kiss him, and he lowered his head to respond with a deep kiss.
Unlike the previous eagerness, this kiss was as gentle as a playful spring breeze, carrying an ambiguous feeling of mutual understanding.
Their breathing gradually became heavy before they separated again.
This time, Uzuki Yugao's cheeks turned even redder. She buried her head back in Mitsumine's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands, as if she had found the warmest harbor.
Uchiha Mitsunori held her close, gently stroking her loose hair with his fingertips, and the restlessness in his heart gradually dissipated.
"From now on, with me here, you don't need to think about these worries anymore. I will protect you and help you take care of all your concerns."
Uzuki Yugao gently nodded in his arms, closed her eyes, and felt his body temperature and heartbeat.
