After the Third Raikage finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Back then, their Village went to great lengths, resorting to all sorts of deception, just to acquire a Bloodline Limit Ninja.
For this, they even sacrificed the lives of many elite Ninja.
Yet, after all that effort, they gained nothing.
But now, after they presented their request to the Hidden Sand Village, the other party immediately agreed.
This is the benefit of being powerful.
If it weren't for Uchiha Yuzuru's immense strength, things would never have progressed so smoothly.
First, he gained the Uchiha Clan, then the Chinoike Clan.
Now, he has also obtained a Bloodline Limit Ninja from the Hidden Sand Village.
The Third Raikage had a premonition that in the future, their Hidden Cloud Village would never lack Bloodline Limits again.
"Third Hokage, where is that Ninja now? I'd like to go see her."
Uchiha Yuzuru's face showed a hint of a smile.
A Ninja with a smooth, beautiful back involuntarily appeared in his mind.
It should be Pakura, right?
After all, the Hidden Sand Village couldn't possibly send Rasa over.
"I've arranged for that Ninja to be with your Uchiha Clan; she should be with Uzumaki Kushina now."
"Alright, I understand."
Uchiha Yuzuru turned and left the Raikage's office.
Arriving at the Uchiha Clan's compound, Uchiha Yuzuru returned to his own courtyard.
In the courtyard, Uzumaki Kushina was washing vegetables with Uchiha Mikoto, and upon seeing Uchiha Yuzuru return, both their faces lit up with smiles.
"Yuzuru, you're finally back!"
Uzumaki Kushina immediately pounced into Uchiha Yuzuru's embrace, nuzzling against him repeatedly with her head down.
Uchiha Yuzuru chuckled and ruffled Uzumaki Kushina's head: "Alright, are you a kitten?"
Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina immediately placed both hands under her chin, looking at Uchiha Yuzuru with wide eyes: "Meow~"
After meowing, she even playfully stuck out her pink tongue.
Her adorable appearance made Uchiha Yuzuru involuntarily swallow.
Oh no, it's the feeling of my heart fluttering.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's reaction, Uzumaki Kushina proudly raised her chin, then darted to the side.
"Hehehe..."
"You pervert!"
Seeing the mischievous Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Yuzuru let out a helpless bitter laugh, but secretly grumbled in his heart.
Intentionally provoking me, are we?
Just you wait, you'll get your comeuppance later!
Uchiha Mikoto also walked over at this moment; she wasn't as bold as Uzumaki Kushina, but she also hugged Uchiha Yuzuru's arm and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
Feeling the sensation on his arm, Uchiha Yuzuru took a deep breath.
Good heavens, you're really testing an executive, aren't you!
Uchiha Yuzuru, without changing his expression, said to Uzumaki Kushina: "The Third Hokage told me that the Bloodline Limit Ninja sent by the Hidden Sand Village is with you, right?"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded: "She lives in our courtyard now, but she hasn't left her room since moving in."
"Then I'll go take a look."
Seeing that Uchiha Yuzuru had something to attend to, Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto obediently released his hands.
"Yuzuru, you go ahead then. Mikoto and I will make dinner for you."
The two left the courtyard with the freshly washed vegetables, and Uchiha Yuzuru walked towards the room Uzumaki Kushina had just pointed to.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Uchiha Yuzuru simply pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the room sat a young girl with shoulder-length sandy-blonde hair.
She had a gentle and sweet appearance, looking very beautiful.
But... this isn't Pakura, is it?
Uchiha Yuzuru was a bit confused.
"Who... who are you?"
The girl was startled by Uchiha Yuzuru and quickly stood up, retreating to the corner of the wall.
Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly: "My name is Uchiha Yuzuru. Are you the Bloodline Limit Ninja sent by the Hidden Sand Village?"
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, the girl became even more nervous.
She had already heard that Uchiha Yuzuru had killed all of their Hidden Sand Village's Ninja on the battlefield.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru frown, the girl immediately said: "My... my name is Karura. Please... please take care of me."
Upon hearing the girl's answer, Uchiha Yuzuru froze in place.
Huh?
Karura?
Isn't this Gaara's mother?
Why did those guys from the Hidden Sand Village send her here?
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru remain silent, Karura nervously spoke: "I really do have a Bloodline Limit; I can control sand."
"Look..." Karura said, slowly raising her arm.
The next second, a pile of sand floated out from the huge gourd in the corner of the room.
Before coming here, she had been specifically instructed by the Third Kazekage and Chiyo to stabilize the Hidden Cloud Village and absolutely not give them an excuse to attack the Hidden Sand Village.
Therefore, facing Uchiha Yuzuru, Karura dared not show any negligence.
Looking at the familiar gourd and sand, Uchiha Yuzuru also confirmed Karura's identity.
In the original work, Rasa did seem to say that Gaara's ability to manipulate sand didn't come from Shukaku, but from Karura.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he smiled at Karura and said: "I know your ability. Please sit down first."
Although somewhat unexpected, Karura's Bloodline Limit also seemed quite good.
As for Pakura, there would always be an opportunity later.
Seeing the gentle smile on Uchiha Yuzuru's face, Karura slowly sat down opposite him: "Lord Yuzuru, are you looking for me for some arrangement?"
Uchiha Yuzuru thought for a moment and replied: "Karura, you know you've been abandoned by your Village, right?"
Hearing this, Karura bit her lip and lowered her head.
As a bargaining chip, she had been exchanged by her Village to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although she didn't resent her Village, the fact of being abandoned was undeniable.
Seeing Karura's expression, Uchiha Yuzuru continued: "Since you've come to the Hidden Cloud Village, you'll have to serve the Hidden Cloud Village from now on, understand?"
Karura nodded.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuzuru spoke again: "Kushina and Mikoto happen to need a teammate, so from now on, you'll go on missions with them."
Karura looked up in surprise, asking in confusion: "Do you really trust me?"
She had been here for a few days, and Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto had both come to talk to her.
So Karura already knew that these two were destined to be Uchiha Yuzuru's future wives.
But now, Uchiha Yuzuru was letting her, an outsider, become teammates with his wives... wasn't he afraid she might have other intentions?
Hearing Karura's question, Uchiha Yuzuru laughed heartily a few times: "I believe you won't do anything foolish, after all..."
"If anything happens to Kushina and Mikoto, I will make the entire Hidden Sand Village pay the price."
"Believe it or not, I have the power to do such a thing."
Looking at the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern that had appeared in Uchiha Yuzuru's eyes at some point, Karura couldn't help but swallow.
"Please... please rest assured, I... I will definitely protect their safety!"
