Chapter 376 A Difficult Choice
The whole body was immersed in the hot spring, and this temperature would not make people sweat.
"Mikoto, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Kahn felt the person in his arms and asked, "You are usually so reserved, but today you are more passionate and active than ever before."
"Don't say it~"
Uchiha Mikoto's cheeks flushed. Although she behaved like this just now, she still felt a little embarrassed when it was mentioned later.
"It's about Chiwa's teacher. She came here for help. It seems that it's because Asuma Sarutobi is related to the Kara organization and is now implicated and arrested."
Hearing Mikoto talking about his daughter, Kahn couldn't help but ask in detail in confusion: "Who is Chiwa's teacher? How is she related to the Kara organization?"
Uchiha Mikoto explained: "It's Yuhi Kurenai. Her theory of illusion is quite good. Chiwa is more interested in illusion, so sometimes she goes to learn from her. I met her when I picked up Chiwa some time ago, and she came to me for help."
Kahn nodded in understanding: "Is it difficult to refuse? Yes, after all, she is Chiwa's teacher. But why not ask someone from the Uchiha clan to teach Chiwa the theoretical knowledge of illusion?"
Uchiha Mikoto then explained that because Shisui treated everyone equally after he came to power, and those who were capable would be sent out to perform tasks. After the establishment of the Fire Federation, there were a large number of tasks in various places, and the people in the federation were simply not enough, so almost all the people of the Uchiha clan were sent out.
There are not many people who are proficient in illusion left in the village, and the best among them is Kurenai Yuhi. Uchiha Mikoto can also tell Nawaki about Chiwa's interest, but her gentle personality makes her embarrassed to use the privileges of the daimyo mansion, so Kurenai Yuhi had to ask for help herself.
Kahn comforted her and said, "So that's the case, but you can let her rest assured. If she has nothing to do with the Kara organization, she will be released soon. Shisui will not embarrass the Sarutobi clan because of me, and Sarutobi Asuma is also the disciple of the second generation." He had
long forgotten the Sarutobi Hiruzen group. They were just a stumbling block in the past. Who would deliberately remember the losers?
Ino-Shika-Chou and the four Sarutobi clans are fools who can't see the situation clearly. They will not be targeted in the Fire Federation, but they have also lost their development space. If there is no accident in the future, they can only be an ordinary family.
Asuma Sarutobi was involved with the Kara Organization purely because of his own reasons. If the relationship was not deep, he would not be imprisoned. If he really took the initiative to contact and planned to rebel, it would be useless to find Kahn. He was ready to rebel against the daimyo, so why did he come to plead for mercy?
Because of the Kara Organization, thousands of people have been arrested for investigation. It is a rare major event since the establishment of the Federation. Although Kahn can rescue people, he is too lazy to care.
But he still has to help his daughter.
"Mikoto, let me handle Chiwa's desire to learn illusion. I guarantee that she can become a top illusion master; but as a mother, you have to do something."
Kahn leaned close to Mikoto Uchiha's ear and said a few words, which immediately made her feel ashamed and pushed Kahn away, but she finally agreed to this request.

After Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Toneri were solved, there was only one Black Zetsu left in the ninja world, but it had completely lost hope. When the big data era develops into everyone's life, Black Zetsu will no longer be able to hide.
However, after dealing with Isshiki Otsutsuki, there are still three Otsutsuki to deal with, but they are not threatening.
With the projection of Kushina and the Holy Grail of the World, if they find that the three of them have invaded, they will definitely not let them go; although the three Otsutsuki are quite powerful, they are definitely not Kushina's opponents.
If she uses her full strength, she must at least go to a different time and space or an uninhabited continent or ocean, otherwise crowded places will limit her strength and she can't play it out at all.
One day, Kahn brought a gift for his daughter and prepared to pick up Chiwa from school.
When it comes to improving illusions, Kahn prepared two hands, one is the five senses of the Kurama clan's bloodline, and the other is the ability of the Eternal water elves to create illusions. If there is a chance, he will also get Loki's spell practice method. A frost giant has cultivated into the first magician of the Nine Realms, and the illusion created is almost real.
However, these two abilities are enough for Chiwa to practice slowly. When she is proficient in these abilities, it will definitely be an illusion that even the Sharingan cannot see through.
On the way to send Chiwa to school, Kahn suddenly met a ninja who seemed to be waiting for him here.
"Daimyo, please wait a moment. Please spare some time."
The black-haired and red-eyed female ninja said to Kahn. It took him some time to remember that this should be the Yuhi Kurenai that Mikoto mentioned. She had seen him in Konoha before.
After letting the clone send Chiwa to school, Kahn said to Yuhi Kurenai, "If you are asking about Asuma Sarutobi, then I can only advise you not to worry. The Federation will not wrongly accuse anyone."
He said this to Yuhi Kurenai for Mikoto's sake, otherwise ordinary ninjas would not see him at all.
"I know that the Federation is very fair, but can the daimyo please forgive Asuma once? He was confused for a moment, so he got in touch with the rebels."
Seeing that Kahn wanted to leave after he finished speaking, Kurenai hurriedly chased him and said, hoping to get an order from the daimyo to pardon Asuma Sarutobi; she had inquired for a long time in the Federation, and even asked Hongdou, but the Fourth Hokage didn't want to get involved in such a matter. Kurenai was
really desperate, so she came to ask Uchiha Mikoto brazenly. Being Uchiha Chiwa's extracurricular illusion teacher was an extra generous reward, which meant that Uchiha Mikoto was soft-hearted and asked Kahn.
However, after hearing what Kurenai said, Kahn frowned slightly and asked back: "From what you said, it is confirmed that Asuma Sarutobi is colluding with the Kara Organization? How did you know? Did you participate together?"
"I didn't participate, Daimyo-sama."
Kurenai shook her head, hesitated for a while and then said: "A few days ago, I asked Mrs. Mikoto to go to the interrogation department to see Asuma. He has told me everything that he was dizzy for a while, so he did this."
"Since it has been found out, let's wait for the federal trial."
After saying that, Kahn was ready to leave, but Kurenai saw through his intention to leave, and stretched out her arms in front of Kahn one step ahead, and then planned to ask Asuma to forgive him.
However, Kahn used magic to stop Kurenai from getting up in the street. Although there were few people on this road, a ninja who got up directly would soon attract a lot of onlookers, and someone might recognize him at that time.
"Are you threatening me with the samurai?"
"No, no, sir, no one can save Asuma except you."
"Why should I save someone who rebelled against the daimyo's mansion? You are a ninja of the Federation after all. Are you crazy?"
After saying that, Kahn ignored Yuhi Kurenai and left directly with Apparition.
Although Otsutsuki Isshiki's research was roughly completed, he still had the Samsara Eye waiting for him to do, and he had to take out half of his time to work with the family ninja. He didn't have that much time to reason with Yuhi Kurenai, and everything should be done according to the rules of the Federation.
After the news of the events on the moon gradually spread among the senior officials of the Federation, the Hyuga clan also heard about it. Hyuga Hiashi, who had already stepped down as the clan leader, came out to walk around.
However, after finding out about the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, Hyuga Hiashi was very discerning. They did not ask for the Samsara Eye or anything else, but only asked the daimyo for a copy of the Otsutsuki clan's inheritance on the moon.
Kahn naturally allowed this little thing. The Otsutsuki clan's inheritance on the moon was nothing special. It was more than the Hyuga clan, with some soft fist essences and the secrets of the Byakugan. However, the Hyuga clan might not be unaware of the latter. The existence of the caged bird, in addition to the outflow of blood, might be to limit the emergence of a heaven-defying person in the clan in the future to collect the Samsara Eye.
It's just that the caged bird curse seal was used distortedly by the later clan, and protection became a privilege. The Samsara Eye is a good weapon. The huge Samsara Eye also contains good pupil power, but it is only effective against the Byakugan. However, this does not bother Kahn. He does have the genes of the Otsutsuki clan, but he did not expect to let someone inherit this power.
——————————————
After resting for a while, Nohara Rin spoke: "Dear Daimyo, Hong found me yesterday. She wanted to see you for a second and asked you something. Because Hong and I are in the same class, so..."
"This guy hasn't given up yet and came to you again."
Kahn thought with some disgust, and then patted Nohara Rin's head gently. At this time, she was working very hard. It would be a bit bad to refuse at this time.
It can only be said that Yuhi Hong is too good at finding the time. It's not Uchiha Mikoto or Nohara Rin, and they all spoke at this time.
"If it's difficult, I will refuse Hong outright. Don't make it difficult for you, Daimyo,"
Nohara Rin said. If she was asked to make a choice, between her friend and Kahn, she would certainly choose the latter.
"Forget it, I have to give you a face anyway. I'll go see her tomorrow."
Nohara Rin has been with him for such a long time, and she is also from the Daimyo Mansion. As long as it is not excessive, Kahn will basically meet any of their requests.
Sitting on several worlds and holding huge resources in his hands, there is no need to be fussy.
The next day,
Kahn went directly to the place where Yuhi Kurenai lived. After knocking on the door, it was opened soon. Yuhi Kurenai, who was a little tired, was stunned when she saw Kahn.
Kahn said calmly: "Didn't you ask Nohara Rin for help? Why are you so surprised?"
"I just didn't expect the Daimyo to come in person. Sorry for being rude, Daimyo, please come in."
Yuhi Kurenai quickly moved aside and wanted Kahn to come in and talk. After all, it involved the crime of colluding with the Shell Organization, and it was not good to talk about it outside.
After entering the room, Kahn looked around. There were traces of two people living there, but it was still tidy; except for some shochu bottles on the table, it was basically cleaned up.
Kurenai was busy in the kitchen for a while, then brought a cup of tea and sent it to Kahn.
Because she came suddenly, Kurenai didn't have time to change into formal clothes, but she was originally a famous beauty among ninjas. Her slender white thighs and slightly tired expression were actually a plus point. Her strong temperament revealed a hint of helplessness about Asuma's incident.
"Daimyo-sama."
"To make a long story short, I found Mikoto and Rin, and for the sake of their faces, I gave Asuma a chance; your boyfriend is really capable, almost mixed into the core of the Kara organization, and introduced a lot of people to him. The Federation originally planned to give him the death penalty, take this to the interrogation department, and punish him with ten years of hard labor."
Konoha Village, the predecessor of the Fire Federation, was not a kind place. It was an iron rule that those who betrayed the village would die, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was no exception. Imprisonment for ten years was also a lesson for him. Otherwise, if he was released after so many things, what difference would it make to not teach him a lesson.
"Ten years."
Yuhi Kurenai was relieved when she heard that Asuma had escaped death, but she became nervous again when she heard that ten years was so long.
Ten years was too long, and it was ten years of penal labor
. "Daimyo, can you reduce it a little more? Please."
While speaking, Yuhi Kurenai directly got down from her seat and begged.
However, Kahn directly refused and said, "You are too greedy, Yuhi Kurenai Jonin. What do you think of treason? You want to be exempted just by opening your mouth? Or what can you pay to reduce the guilt?"
"I"
Yuhi Kurenai was stunned for a moment. She was stunned by the question and didn't know how to continue begging. However, she was unwilling to let Asuma accept ten years of penal labor. Not to mention the long time, it is uncertain how long he can live after ten years of labor. The Fire Federation will not be lenient to those who are penalized.
"Daimyo, is there any way to shorten the time? No matter what method, I am willing to try."
Yuhi Kurenai took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Are you willing to try any method? Don't be so sure, Yuhi Kurenai."
As Kahn spoke, he stretched out his hand and put it on Yuhi Kurenai's face. Her skin was very smooth without makeup, but the tiredness in her eyes made her look a bit feminine and weak.
This rude and intimate behavior made Yuhi Kurenai tremble all over, and she instinctively wanted to retreat, but then she thought of Sarutobi Asuma.
She had been in charge of the days of guarding the prisoners who were doing penal labor. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was no light in the sky. Including eating and sleeping, there were less than five hours a day. When the Fire Federation was developing rapidly, these prisoners who were doing penal labor needed to make sacrifices.
If Asuma went there, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
Yuhi Kurenai was in a dilemma. Should she accept this reality or not? As long as she took that now, Asuma could come out after ten years of penal labor, but if she wanted to continue to reduce it, she would need to make a huge sacrifice.
'Asuma'
Yuhi Kurenai slowly closed her red pupils, and many memories flashed through her mind, and intense emotions continued to struggle in her heart.
'Even if I don't agree, now that I know the Daimyo's plan, is this really good for Asuma? It's better to rescue Asuma as soon as possible and persuade him not to indulge in revenge.' '
Asuma won't know about this. Then I'll say it's the work of Nohara Rin and Uchiha Chiwa. He'll believe this excuse. If Asuma doesn't know, it's as if this thing never happened.'
"That's right, Daimyo-sama, I can do anything."
Yuhi Kurenai said this with a trembling voice. After she finished speaking, her whole body relaxed. Since she had made the decision, she had no way back now. She had to rescue Asuma first.
After speaking, Yuhi Kurenai took off her shirt on her own initiative. Her trembling body was enough to show Yuhi Kurenai's restless heart at this time.
"What an admirable determination, Yuhi Kurenai Jonin."
After Kahn finished speaking, he picked up Yuhi Kurenai and put her on the bed in the house. The two should have lived together. When Yuhi Kurenai lay down, it can be seen that her inner entanglement was even worse.
But it was too late for Yuhi Kurenai to regret it.
'Asuma, forgive me! '
