In the western region of Fire Country, in Utsunomiya Family's manor, Aoyama did not know how many people were shocked because of what happened to him.
Right now, he was very busy, very busy. You1 and You2, these two brothers were pestering him non-stop, asking him about the matter regarding the ninja that was going to stay in Utsunomiya Family for a long time. Just when he was about to be unable to handle it anymore, a servant quickly walked over.
"Young master, there are a lot of ninjas outside, they said that they are Kiba ninjas …"
"Oh, they finally came, you guys can go and take a look yourselves, stop pestering me." Aoyama let out a breath of relief, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have kept these two brothers in suspense, these two brothers are truly too difficult to deal with, pestering me to the point where my head is going to swell.
You1 and You2 finally stopped pestering him, and their gazes landed on the servant that reported the news.
Reaching out his hand, You1 lightly patted the dust that stuck on his body, it was all caused by him catching the cat just now. When he saw the person that came, You1 instead calmed down, and his face was calm, not a single bit of the curiosity that he had before could be seen.
"Bring the guest in and properly receive him, do not be disrespectful, understand?" You1 gave the order. His father, Utsunomiya Fujino, was very busy, and taking out the time to chat with Aoyama was already his limit. Right now, the matters in the manor were all handed over to You1 to take care of.
You1's performance was also not bad, or rather, it could be said that his performance was very outstanding.
"Yes, young master." The servant bowed respectfully, then quickly retreated.
Aoyama who was standing at the side saw all of You1's changes, and he unconsciously smacked his lips. As expected of a noble, this ability to change his face is something that ordinary people would not be able to achieve.
In the spacious and luxurious hall, this was the place where Utsunomiya Family received their guests, and this was also the place where Aoyama and You1 met for the first time.
"Lord Aoyama, subordinate is here to report under the orders."
Haku knelt on one knee, and the Root ninjas behind him bowed respectfully in front of Aoyama.
They are all elites with arrogant tempers. Originally, they weren't as obedient to the commander of Aoyama as they were in Danzō's era, but after receiving the information that Aoyama defeated Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Kisame, they restrained their laziness. The new commander has already shown his strength.
"Bai, get up. This is the eldest son of the Utu Palace Lord, Utu Palace Youyi." Aoyama waved her hand and Haku stood up. Following Aoyama's direction, he looked at Youichi who was standing beside Aoyama.
"So beautiful!" You 'er exclaimed, but he immediately covered his mouth with an awkward expression as soon as he realized that he had said something wrong.
"Youer!"
Youyi was also stunned by Haku's appearance, but he still maintained the calmness and elegance of an aristocrat. This is the cultivation of an aristocrat. However, You 'er's temperament was obviously a little worse than his elder brother who was the successor.
"Miss Haku, my younger brother has offended you, please forgive him." Youyi held onto You 'er's head and apologized to Haku.
Aoyama's face was flushed red, and her shoulders were trembling non-stop. She forced herself not to laugh out loud. Haku has really become more and more beautiful in these two years. Furthermore, the Ninja's attire is the same for both men and women, which made his gender even less distinguishable. This kind of beautiful misunderstanding has happened many times.
"I'm sorry, I'm a man." Haku said with a helpless expression. Especially when Aoyama was trying to hold back her laughter, he felt even more helpless. However, he had no choice but to explain. It is better to solve this kind of misunderstanding as soon as possible.
"Eh? … Eh!!! "
Two exclamations sounded at the same time, like a duet, piercing through the clouds.
"Haku, you have to stay here for the time being. Utsunomiya Family and Root are allies now, and they provide us with money and resources. Therefore, I need you to bring some people to protect Utsunomiya Family."
In the quiet room, only Aoyama and Haku were sitting opposite each other.
"I know, don't worry. Recently, I have already familiarized myself with the power of the curse mark. With the help of the curse mark, even if I face an expert like Orochi Maru, I have the confidence to escape unscathed." Haku said with a smile. Through his collar, one could faintly see the black crescent moon below his neck.
Aoyama's eyes lit up after hearing Haku's words. She smiled and asked with concern, "How is it, is there any side effect of the curse mark? Do you feel like your consciousness is being eroded? "
"No, during this period of time, Azusa He and the others have been testing the power of the curse mark. There are no signs of it eroding one's consciousness. There is only a small price to pay, and that is, after using the power of the curse mark, one's body will feel extremely tired, and for the next two to three days, one will not be able to fight."
Haku said straightforwardly.
"The price … is bearable. Then, how much does it increase your strength?" Aoyama rubbed his chin and asked.
"This is hard to say. I am still trying to figure out how to use the curse mark. Personally, the effect is very obvious. It can at least increase my strength by 30%. The curse mark can help me increase the quality and quantity of my Chakra. Not to mention the increase in the power of my ninjutsu, it can even increase my endurance in battle." Haku said with an excited expression.
Aoyama nodded his head slightly. He was very satisfied. Before he and Danzō came to Utsunomiya Family, although the curse mark was successfully implanted, the specific effect still needed time to be tested.
"Oh right, how is Jue?" Aoyama thought of Jue, who used to be Zero's subordinate who mastered Mokuton.
"His senses are very good, better than anyone else's. His usage of curse seals is extremely high. Using curse seals is as easy as eating and drinking for him, unlike us who can't fight for two or three days after using it once." Haku smiled bitterly. Comparisons were odious, and he really couldn't compete in this aspect.
"Oh right, Aromatic Phosphorus is the same as well, there is no effect when using the curse mark. However, Takumi and Toru will be weakened for about half a day."
"En, seems like it is because of their physique." Aoyama nodded his head and chatted with Haku for a while. Then, a subordinate came to report that Youyi and his people came over.
"Tsuka -sama, young master invites you and Lord Bai to have a meal together." Youyi's most capable servant bowed respectfully at the corridor outside the house.
"En? It is already at this time! " Aoyama looked at the sky outside the window. The sun was shining brightly, and unknowingly, it was already noon.
"Haku, let's go together. You can have a good chat with the Utsunomiya brothers. You will be staying in Utsunomiya Family for a long time now. You can relax during this period of time. Utsunomiya Family is after all a famous family, not many people have the guts to provoke them …"
With Haku and his subordinates staying in Utsunomiya Family, the cooperation between Root and Utsunomiya Family finally had a good start. Aoyama could finally leave and return to Kiba.
