"Sir, what on earth is this? I feel like my body is growing in every aspect after I ate it."
Seeing that the blue snake seemed to like it very much, Yue Yan shrugged. Anyway, he and Xiaolan didn't eat these basic Energy Cubes very often now. Since the blue snake liked them, he might as well give them to it, but of course, it wouldn't be for free.
"How about twenty of what you just ate every day if you follow me faithfully?"
The blue snake's strength was only at the middle level among the great snakes in the Ryuchi Cave. However, with twenty Energy Cubes a day, accumulated over time, it could definitely bring a leap in the blue snake's strength. It could even surpass Manda.
Therefore, the blue snake readily agreed.
"I'll definitely obey all your orders, sir."
"Good. From now on, you'll be my summoning beast."
After signing the Summoning Contract with the blue snake, Yue Yan had finished his business in the Ryuchi Cave, so he went straight back.
Once he returned to the front - line camp, he saw Jiraiya walking back with a gloomy face. He must have been really annoyed by Chiyo at the negotiation table.
In response, Yue Yan shrugged and didn't care. Anyway, it didn't have much to do with him.
Just like this, time passed by slowly. As the one - month deadline was approaching, the Sand Ninjas finally softened their stance.
The Sand Ninjas had been quite tough before. To prevent Konoha from breaking off the negotiation, Chiyo still brought quite a few ninjas.
However, the Sand Ninjas were still facing the invasion of the Stone Ninjas. If they kept Chiyo, a high - level combatant, here all the time, the Sand Ninjas would also find it hard to bear.
After the compromise, although what they offered was not much, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already quite satisfied. After signing the useless peace treaty to signal the end of the war with the Sand Ninjas, the troops on the front - line here regrouped and returned to Konoha. After taking a rest for a while, they would go to other battlefields again.
For Yue Yan, as long as he didn't have to participate in battles, it was the same whether he was on the front - line or in Konoha. However, the atmosphere in Konoha was not as oppressive as that on the front - line, and Yue Yan really liked to stay in Konoha.
However, after only staying at home for a few days, Yue Yan, who had just come back from training in the Bone Forest, saw Kushina barge in.
"Yue Yan, Mikoto Uchiha's child has had its Michiru Tsuki. I'll take you to check it out."
"What the hell?"
Wasn't she pregnant before? How could the baby be born? And it had already had its Michiru Tsuki?
When Yue Yan saw Mikoto before, she was already two months pregnant. Then Yue Yan had spent several months on the front - line against the Sand Ninjas.
He had been soaking in the laboratory all day, researching how to break Chiyo's poison. Even after the war ended, he was still busy cultivating the Shikkotsu Forest Senji Sannin Mode. It was quite normal for him to forget the time.
After all, he had only met Mikoto once, and they weren't very familiar with each other. So Yue Yan wanted to decline.
However, Kushina didn't give him a chance at all. She pulled him and headed straight for the Uchiha Clan's territory.
Yue Yan was really speechless about this.
"Eh? Is it my imagination? Why does Yue Yan's skin look so good?"
She hadn't paid attention before, but suddenly looking at Yue Yan's fair and delicate face, Kushina couldn't help but reach out and pinch it twice.
"Really, Yue Yan, how do you take care of your skin?"
Although Kushina was a ninja, she was also a woman, and she really wanted to make her skin better.
Hearing this, Yue Yan rolled his eyes and said frankly, "Just dissolve your original skin with strong acid and let it grow back."
"Ah?"
Kushina was completely stunned by his words and wasn't sure if Yue Yan was joking.
Looking suspiciously at Yue Yan's serious expression, Kushina simply gave up.
"Forget it then. It sounds painful."
While chatting with Yue Yan, Kushina walked in the Uchiha Clan's territory and soon arrived at Mikoto Uchiha's house.
At this time, Mikoto Uchiha was gently holding her child in her arms, her face full of happiness.
Seeing this scene, Kushina rushed over right away.
"What a cute baby."
As she said that, Kushina started to tease the baby in Mikoto Uchiha's arms.
"Isn't he cute? Fugaku and I named him Itachi."
Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha chatted and laughed with each other. Yue Yan greeted them and then began to look around.
The layout was very warm, and some of the furniture was also very luxurious, highlighting the grandeur of the Uchiha Clan.
At this time, with the sound of footsteps approaching, Fugaku walked over.
Looking in the direction of Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina, Fugaku smiled, and then noticed Yue Yan.
After all, they had fought side by side before, so Fugaku greeted him.
"Good afternoon, Yue Yan - kun."
"Good afternoon, Fugaku - Aniki."
"Fugaku - Aniki?"
Fugaku pointed at himself in a daze. After all, considering his age and the fact that he had a child, Yue Yan should call him uncle, right?
Seeing what he was confused about, Yue Yan shrugged and explained, "I'm Kushina's younger brother, so I have to call Mikoto Uchiha my sister. As Mikoto Uchiha's husband, it's reasonable for me to call you Aniki."
"Uh... reasonable."
Fugaku nodded blankly and then invited Yue Yan to sit down. While Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina were chatting, Fugaku started to exchange some insights on ninjutsu and tactical experience with Yue Yan in order to get closer to him.
For Yue Yan, who could use skills without any casting time, ninjutsu was of little use, but combat experience was very helpful to him.
And Fugaku, as the future leader of the Uchiha Clan, had extremely rich combat experience. Some combat skills summarized over several generations were beyond those of self - taught Yue Yan. Naturally, he had to study carefully.
Seeing that Yue Yan was very interested in the combat skills he was talking about, Fugaku was also very happy.
As a disciple of Jiraiya, Yue Yan was firmly in the Hokage's camp. Moreover, since Orochimaru, who was very likely to become the Fourth Hokage, thought highly of Yue Yan, it would definitely be beneficial for the future situation of the Uchiha Clan in the village if they could get closer to Yue Yan.
While Yue Yan and Fugaku were exchanging combat experience, Kushina on the other side took Itachi from someone's arms.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
As she said that, Kushina opened the blanket wrapped around Itachi.
"So it's a boy. If our child with Minato Namikaze is born, he or she should be just as cute."
As she said this, maybe Kushina had a moment of madness. She flicked Itachi's private part gently with her finger.
Kushina didn't use much force, but it still made Itachi burst into loud cries.
After that, Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha began to comfort the crying baby.
Yue Yan, who had witnessed the whole thing, had a vein throbbing on his forehead.
Itachi Uchiha, the future god - like figure, had been flicked on his private part by a naughty girl and was even made to cry.
Yue Yan really regretted not having a camera to record what just happened. Otherwise, when Itachi Uchiha grew up, he could show him this embarrassing moment in his past, or he could show it to Sasuke too.
Well, if Itachi Uchiha still becomes a missing - nin and joins the Akatsuki organization in the future. When they meet, if Yue Yan takes out this embarrassing video. Just imagining the expression on Itachi Uchiha's handsome, icy face, tsk tsk tsk, it would definitely be very interesting.
