The three Squad Leaders reported the inspection results to Night Light.
"Squad Leader Fox, the target's bed was too neat. The target did not unroll the bedding last night; he only lay on the bed. The indentations on several layers of the mattress show that the target did not turn over and seemed to have been staring at the ceiling."
"Squad Leader Fox, the target did not enter the bathroom last night; there were no water stains in the bathroom."
Night Light was puzzled and said aloud:
"The target was entangled with such a well-built female Ninja last night. Normally, wouldn't he do something when he got home?
Not using the bathroom and just lying stiffly on the bed is too abnormal and highly suspicious."
Under Purple Cat's mask, her pretty face flushed again. What did he mean by 'wouldn't he do something when he got home'? Do men always feel the urge after being entangled with a woman?
Antelope finally said, "Squad Leader, the target used a brush pen last night."
Night Light said, "That's even stranger. The target turned off the lights and drew the curtains early last night, so why would he use a brush pen?"
The squad left the room.
Back at Anbu, Purple Cat saw Captain Black Ape call Squad Leader Fox away, not knowing what new mission he had assigned.
After a long while, Squad Leader Fox returned and said to Purple Cat:
"Purple Cat, you will now be responsible for observing all the habits of that Senju female Ninja from last night, especially her behavior when she is with the target male Ninja."
"Alright."
Purple Cat was a Yamanaka Clan Ninja, and her abilities were very much favored by Anbu.
For a continuous week, the Fox Squad did only one thing: monitoring the target Ninja and the Senju female Ninja's meetings every night.
The two of them were by the lake, under trees, and behind houses, entangling for more than half an hour every night.
They were both at the age of young, blazing passion, kissing until breathless and caressing until they couldn't control themselves every time they met.
Purple Cat went from initial awkwardness for the first two days to completely adapting in the end, knowing all of their habits and physical reactions.
A week later, Night Light sent Antelope and Black Bull away and said to Purple Cat:
"Purple Cat, use the Mind Body Switch Technique to control the Senju female Ninja and give the target a piece of intelligence: on the 5th of next month, the Senju Clan will hold a funeral for Uzumaki Mito."
"Alright! ...Huh?"
Purple Cat agreed readily but was immediately stunned.
Hold a funeral for Uzumaki Mito?
When monitoring the Senju Clan Grounds last night, didn't Lady Mito still come out to the courtyard to look at the moon?
Lady Mito... is she going to die?
"Purple Cat, don't think about what you shouldn't think about. Execute the mission."
Purple Cat nodded with difficulty.
The last elder among the first generation of Konoha's founders, Lady Mito, was about to reach the end of her life.
That night, the Fox Squad waited near the Senju Clan Grounds.
The Senju female Ninja, who had just returned from Konoha Hospital after work, saw the Fox Mask Anbu suddenly blocking her way.
"Please come with me."
The Senju female Ninja thought Anbu had injured personnel and wanted her to treat them secretly.
She had received such missions before.
Unfortunately, her boyfriend would have to wait a long time tonight. Anbu's mission couldn't be delayed, and she didn't have time to tell her boyfriend.
Turning into the alley, the Senju female Ninja saw an Anbu wearing a Purple Cat mask.
"Mind Body Switch Technique!"
The Senju female Ninja was momentarily dazed.
Purple Cat softly fell into Night Light's arms.
The Senju female Ninja's eyes changed, her facial features moved, and Purple Cat began to adapt to this body.
"Go. You must ensure the target absolutely believes it. You know what to do."
Purple Cat, controlling this body, came to the alley outside the Senju Clan Grounds.
This was a place where she and her boyfriend often showed affection.
Soon, the target appeared.
Purple Cat suppressed her shyness, imitated the Senju female Ninja, and pounced on him, wrapping her arms around the target's neck.
The awkwardness throughout her body made it difficult for her to continue.
To prevent the target from noticing anything unusual, a thought suddenly rose in Purple Cat's mind.
What if she imagined the target as Squad Leader Fox? That way, she could perform those embarrassing actions, right?
With eyes slightly closed, Purple Cat imagined the person in front of her as Squad Leader Fox and said:
"Darling, I need to go home as soon as possible tonight. We only have about ten minutes."
Their movements became increasingly intimate.
Although it wasn't her personally, and this body wasn't hers, all the sensations of the Senju female Ninja's skin were clearly transmitted to Purple Cat.
The target's hands were exploring, becoming increasingly restless.
To make the target lower his guard, Purple Cat had to pretend her body was trembling.
"Darling... no... for many days to come... there... I won't be able to go out..."
"What?" The target panted, asking, "Why can't you go out?"
Purple Cat said, "Grandma Mito's funeral is coming soon. The clan has suppressed the news; no one knows Grandma Mito has passed away. On the 5th of next month, we will hold a funeral for Grandma Mito."
As if thinking of something sad, the Senju female Ninja's enthusiasm waned.
The target's movements also slowed a bit. He said, "Then you should hurry back to the clan grounds. I miss you very much, but important matters come first. We'll meet again after Lady Mito's funeral."
"Okay, I'll miss you too."
Purple Cat fled the alley as if escaping, running in small steps towards the Senju Clan Grounds.
After entering the Senju Clan Grounds, Purple Cat controlled the Senju female Ninja to leave from a side gate on the other side.
Night Light supported Purple Cat's limp body and came to the other side of the Senju Clan Grounds.
Purple Cat and the Senju female Ninja exchanged bodies back.
Night Light said to the Senju female Ninja, "I'm sorry, but from now until the 5th of next month, you'll have to stay at Anbu."
The Senju female Ninja held her head, barely managing not to fall: "Why? Why are you doing this?"
Night Light said, "Anbu mission, don't ask why. I am just following orders."
The Senju female Ninja was very frightened but dared not say much.
He took the Senju female Ninja back to Anbu and settled her comfortably with good food and drink.
The Fox Squad returned to their squad's changing room. He told his subordinates to rest and go home.
Night Light sat on a chair in the middle of the changing room, pondering Anbu's arrangements.
He didn't know why Anbu wanted to spread the news of Uzumaki Mito's funeral. It wasn't just his squad; other squads were also secretly disseminating the information in various ways.
Could this be Anbu's method against the Senju Clan?
The Uzumaki Clan was annihilated, and Konoha lost a strong ally.
If the Senju Clan were annihilated, Konoha would become even weaker.
Forget it, what was he, an Anbu Ninja, thinking so much for?
He transmigrated here to do only three things: survive, survive, and damn it, still survive.
Turning his head, Night Light noticed Purple Cat leaning against a locker nearby.
Antelope and Black Bull had already left, leaving only Purple Cat.
"Purple Cat, why are your ears and neck so red? Is it a side effect of the Mind Body Switch Technique?"
Night Light couldn't see Purple Cat's face, only her reddened neck.
Purple Cat's voice was tearful: "I don't like such embarrassing missions!"
Night Light was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd react so strongly. Next time, I'll find a male Yamanaka Ninja to carry out this kind of mission."
"No!" Purple Cat quickly said, "I'm not trying to refuse your order, but... but I just had to imagine that person was you to continue, which made me..."
Purple Cat's face turned even redder; she had let it slip.
Night Light was taken aback.
Had his unconscious charm during the past month of their acquaintance conquered this Yamanaka Clan girl?
He stepped forward, reached out, and caressed Purple Cat's long, fair, and rosy neck, teasing her: "I'm right in front of you now. You don't need to imagine him as me anymore."
As the Fox's fingertips grazed the skin of her neck, Purple Cat trembled all over.
She whimpered and fell into the Fox's embrace.
Purple Cat had seen lovers' intimacy many times, but this was her first time being truly caressed by the Fox, and she became increasingly excited and proactive.
In the secluded changing room, both of them suppressed their gasps.
Purple Cat's skin was cold and white like snow.
The girl's blush was intoxicating.
Red and white intertwined, turning into a charming pink.
