In the Sand Hidden Village of the Country of Wind, an ordinary residence.

A brown-haired woman slowly and elegantly brewed tea, poured two cups in a leisurely manner and placed them on the table. She also leisurely arranged the pastries on the table in a beautiful pattern.

Not long after she finished all this, there happened to be a knock on the door.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Hanami Akira... Or maybe you would prefer me to call you Lord Chief?"

The woman's smile was gentle and graceful, and her friendly smile made people feel a sense of intimacy rising from the bottom of their hearts. In the eyes of others, this kind-hearted and gentle woman must have been unable to help but admire her!

However, when Hua Jianming saw this spring-like smile, he couldn't help but twitch and felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.

He knew that this woman was indeed a gentle and kind-hearted person in nature, but... the walking witch pharmacist Nonoyu was not as sweet and harmless as her appearance. Regarding playing tricks, calculating people's hearts, and obtaining intelligence, this

The position is great.

Of course, now that their positions are consistent, Hua Jianming doesn't have to worry about the other party plotting against him, but it feels weird to look at that innocent and harmless smile when he knows the other party's true nature.

"You can call me whatever you like."

Hua Jianming glanced at the steaming tea and snacks on the table and couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of you! You even calculated the time of my visit so accurately. It seems that your intelligence network here is very mature."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Yakushi Nonoyu accepted the compliment with a smile. Isn't it just to show off her abilities by carefully calculating the time, finding out the other person's itinerary, and simulating the other person's movement trajectory to deduce the time?

If the person in front of her were Shimura Danzo, Yakushi Nonou would never do this, because for Danzo, her sharpness would only deepen Danzo's fear, which could lead to death.

However, for this Hanami Akira-sama, he must show his own value in order to gain more appreciation.

Yakushi Nonou is happy to work under Hanami Akira, because she doesn’t have to be as frightened as before when working under such a powerful and broad-minded person - this adult is much broader-minded than Danzo, and the other person has

She has great strength and doesn't worry about any threats caused by her outstanding abilities.

"I've always wanted to see you, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. I had to rely on Kabuto to get around it. Today I got my wish."

Pharmacist Nonoyu bowed respectfully to Hanami Akira.

This is a good boss who is also very generous to the people under him. Not only does he allow people to show their talents, but he also gives her great support in many aspects - for example, he is very generous in donating to orphanages.

She has become more motivated to work recently.

"Sir, please rest assured that everything is going smoothly according to your plan. Now my subordinates will start reporting the progress to you..."

"Um."

Hua Jianming nodded subconsciously, and then he fell into a brief daze.

Wait, did he have any tasks assigned by Pharmacist Nonoyu? Didn't he just throw all the chores into Pharmacist Kabuto? Is Nonoyu doing a favor to Pharmacist Kabuto? Or...

Hana Jianming recalled it carefully, and could only find out from the fragmented memories that he seemed to have "half-freed" the pharmacist Nonou, and at most he just casually mentioned it and asked her to do what she should do.

As for what this miko should do...probably something similar to an intelligence network?

Fortunately, Hua Jianming's qi-nourishing skills are now very good. Even if he is confused, he does not show it on his face. Instead, he is calm and composed, and starts to listen to the report without changing his expression - anyway, no matter what the other party has done, you will know it after listening to it.

Yes, it must be good for Konoha, right?

"Regarding the observation and contact with Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, my subordinate has been communicating as 'Hanako-chan'. Now the other party still has deep feelings for 'Hanako-chan'. When necessary..."

"Ahem, wait."

When the first thing he heard was related to his own dark history, Hua Jianming couldn't help but look subtle.

He knew that Danzo had originally asked Nonoyu to disguise herself as "Hanako" and have a relationship with Naruto, and he had no doubt that Naruto would not be able to escape her grasp due to Nonoyu's rank, but...

"What do you mean by 'deep emotion'?"

"Of course it's friendship... maybe there's also brother-sister relationship, something like brother-sister relationship." Pharmacist Nonoyu took a deep look at Hanami Akira, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that you hope for something else?"

"No, this is best. Dear"

"I thought this was arranged by you! After all, one day he suddenly asked me that he dreamed that my hair color was no longer red. I admitted it frankly and said that I thought red looked good before, so I dyed my hair specially."

Oh, by the way, Naruto is a fan of rare hair colors like his father, preferring red.

In this case, there is no need to worry about this issue.

"anything else?"

"Naruto has perfectly fulfilled your expectations in the Land of Thunder. He not only made good friends with the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, but also successfully spread your concept of unification for peace. He also persuaded the Raikage and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki to work with you.

Let’s have a fight. As long as you subdue these two people at the same time with overwhelming strength, Yun Ninja Village will know a lot, and maybe they will take the initiative to move closer to us and surrender!”

"???"

Hua Jianming remained silent, his head full of questions.

He sent Naruto to the Land of Thunder to distract him from coming to Sunagakure to see the location of "Hanako-chan", and also to allow Naruto to better cooperate with Kyuubi and exert his own strength.

What is that concept of spreading the word and making a battle? He didn't remember giving orders to Naruto!

"In addition, your plan in Hidden Mist Village is also going well..."

"..."

Wait, wait, what is Kirigakure’s plan? I don’t know!

"We have successfully plotted against Qing and asked him to 'actively attack' Bai Yan. As expected, he fell into the trap and wanted to kill people and hide the incident. However, we have successfully diverted the trouble to the east, with the help of Ms. Jinbo's special identity, and

The important figure in the Kingdom of Water whom he had made friends with caused him to commit an unforgivable crime, and the manpower and publicity to support him have been prepared..."

For a moment, Hua Jianming wondered if he had lost some part of his memory, or if he had become a fake root leader.

In other words, although he doesn't care about those trivial matters, he still browses a lot of core information regularly! Why doesn't he know these things at all?!

However, he had a photographic memory and checked his memory several times. After confirming that there were no faults, he had to consider another possibility - someone used his identity to set up these plans and issue orders, and deceived them.

He killed all his men, including this experienced walking witch.

Kabuto Yakushi made his own decision?

No, he does not have this ability and has no reason to do so.

As for other people, they are not capable of pretending to be real, and it is even less possible for them to do these things without covering up, as if they told him openly, "I just did it."

The words in it about peaceful unification and propaganda of public opinion are completely his style of painting.

There is no one else but her who can unknowingly do these things and deceive everyone, and not worry about him finding out, just like preparing some big "surprise" for him.

"Yakumo..."
