Xavier hurriedly apologized, "Alright, I was wrong, isn't that enough? But I'm not here to catch you this time."
Sayu crossed her arms, looking suspicious, "So you're saying you deliberately came to catch me last time, right?"
Xavier was at a loss for how to retort.
The netizens were laughing their heads off; the drama was at its peak.
Yoimiya asked curiously, "Sayu, why are you here?"
Itto, standing nearby, looked like a know-it-all, "Hah, why even ask? This little tanuki is definitely slacking off!"
"Say it again, I'm not a tanuki, I'm a raccoon dog!"
Sayu was very displeased. Could this big idiot never learn, no matter how many times she told him?
"Speaking of which, the Shuumatsuban ninja who discovered the strange phenomenon was Sayu," Ayaka said with a smile.
It was then that Sayu noticed Ayaka's presence and became wary, "You're not here to help the Young Master catch me, are you?"
As a secret organization cultivated by Kamisato, Ayato was, of course, Sayu's direct superior.
Although Ayaka did not directly manage Shuumatsuban, they were siblings, so Sayu naturally had to be cautious.
"Of course not. This time we are here to search for the legendary ore, which is in the location of the strange phenomenon you discovered, Sayu."
Hearing Ayaka say this, Sayu stretched.
"Haa~ I knew I'd have to work again, but working with you guys is better than with others."
"Also, I want to tell you, I'm not slacking off or sleeping, I'm just waiting for orders to be issued..."
Sayu was protesting too much, even though no one had asked anything.
"Hurry, hurry, This Daddy, can't wait any longer!" Itto was the most impatient one.
Sayu wondered, "Even if there's ore there, what does that have to do with you?"
She disliked Itto and certainly didn't want to bring him along.
"Hmph, of course, Ayato specially permitted me to come! And once this stone is found, This Daddy, will be the first to experience it!"
Itto looked smug, clearly leveraging Ayato's authority.
Sayu looked at Ayaka and Xavier with disbelief.
When she saw their helpless expressions, she knew Itto was telling the truth.
"Damn it, not only do I have to work, but I also have to help this guy work..." Sayu's resentment as a worker soared to the sky.
At this moment, the bullet comments also started scrolling.
"This is hilarious, Sayu's work ethic perfectly aligns with ours."
"Don't even mention it, I'm exactly like Sayu when I'm slacking off at work."
"Exactly, especially when I'm creating proposals for annoying customers, I'm even more resentful than Sayu."
"Gotta go, the boss is here, I'm not slacking off watching the live stream anymore..."
Perhaps the work pressure on contemporary young people is too great, so they always think about slacking off and lying flat.
And Sayu's work state is their ideal.
Being able to secretly slack off, fish around, and even sleep when there's nothing to do.
This is what most workers envy, but most workers cannot achieve it.
After all, how many jobs offer the freedom of being a ninja like Sayu?
When there's work, she can slack off and do her job, and when there's nothing, she can sleep soundly, only needing to guard against being caught.
Led by Sayu, the group found a path leading down, passing through the mist.
Along the way, Sayu was very displeased to hear the netizens' comments about her.
"What do you mean 'only need to guard against being caught'? That's very difficult, okay? Dealing with Kano Nana is more troublesome than regular work."
Sayu spread her hands, indicating how much psychological trauma Kano Nana had caused her.
"Alright, it's right there. The mining is up to you guys. I'm not going over there~"
Sayu stretched again, then transformed into a small tree.
Xavier was speechless. He knew she liked to slack off, but did she have to slack off to this extent?
For the netizens, however, this scene was incredibly shocking.
"Holy crap, she changed just like that. This is magic."
"How did she do that?"
"Oh no, Sayu really knows ninjutsu."
"I knew it, I knew Naruto was real!"
Everyone stirred, but Sayu was no longer interested in interacting and had fallen asleep.
Although filled with mist, a cave could vaguely be seen not far away.
It was not a very large cave, and perhaps because few people came here, it still bore the marks of time.
"Wait, there seems to be movement over there!"
Just as the group was about to move forward, Ayaka suddenly stopped and drew her sword.
Netizens expressed confusion about the plot, saying it was becoming increasingly unpredictable.
"Hmm? Is someone trying to snatch this legendary stone from This Daddy? No, This Daddy, will not allow it!"
Itto rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight this unknown entity.
But as soon as he stepped forward, a shuriken flew out, narrowly missing Itto's head.
Itto broke out in a cold sweat, unable to move.
"How...how thrilling!"
Shikanoin Heizou couldn't help but say, "It's a big taboo to act rashly before understanding the opponent's strength and true identity. It's truly not easy that you've lived to this day."
At this point, even with Shikanoin Heizou's taunts, Itto had no mind to bicker with him.
"Hmm? Boss?"
A familiar voice came from the mist, and a beautiful figure slowly appeared before everyone and on camera.
"Holy cow, it's Kuki Shinobu!"
"That waist, that figure, I'm in!"
"Slurp, slurp~"
The old perverts all came out, and what Xavier didn't expect was that the person who emerged was Kuki Shinobu.
Kuki Shinobu held her hand to her waist, her eyes full of doubt.
Upon seeing that it was his top subordinate, Itto breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's you, Kuki Shinobu. Why are you here?"
"That's what I should be asking you, isn't it? You said you buried a very important treasure here and told me to come dig it up. Have you forgotten?"
Facing her irresponsible and dim-witted boss, Kuki Shinobu was already used to it, but her tone was still somewhat unfriendly.
"Huh? Was there such a thing? I don't remember anything."
Indeed, Itto scratched his head, still trying to recall if he had said that.
Actually, the fog was too thick today, so he hadn't recognized her at all.
"Never mind, whether it happened or not doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, it's your stuff, not mine," Kuki Shinobu sighed.
Itto felt a little guilty and patted Kuki Shinobu's shoulder, saying, "It's okay, Kuki Shinobu. Even if we don't find the treasure I hid before, it doesn't matter, because now we have something even more important to look for!"
Itto was brimming with excitement because the real treasure was close at hand and would soon be found.
Kuki Shinobu looked doubtful, "You... are you sure?"
