The two people's sneaky little actions naturally could not escape the eyes of Yugao in the kitchen.
This was just like in class, your small movements under the podium, thinking you hid them flawlessly, but the teacher on the podium saw them all clearly.
Regarding this, Yugao only sighed, sped up the pace of cooking, and did not come out to stop the two of them.
When she saw Terumi Mei's blushing face as she ran back home early in the morning, she had already guessed this kind of outcome.
In the end, when it looked like Terumi Mei and Aoba were about to kiss, Yugao couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Dinner is almost ready, you two tidy up!"
"Okay!" ×2
The two, who were originally pressed close together, both trembled, sat upright, and immediately responded.
———
"Aoba, your skills really are getting better and better, the next one should be that little girl Kurotsuchi, right?", Inside the bedroom, Yugao teased Aoba with a blushing face.
The hair on her forehead was already damp, sticking together, the slender arm that was wrapped around Aoba's neck had fine beads of sweat rolling down along the skin.
Her pair of long legs were slightly trembling.
And Aoba didn't speak, just kept attacking.
Responding to Yugao with his actions.
Yugao actually just wanted to make herself stay as clear-headed as possible.
Although she didn't plan to actively ask, it didn't stop her from wanting to figure out what happened last night.
It was just a pity, under Aoba's repeated advances, Yugao's consciousness still became confused, unable to resist Aoba.
After she fell asleep, Aoba helped tidy her up, then adjusted his own state, and lifted the seal on the surrounding space.
Then he used the Spirit Transformation Technique, his soul leaving his body.
He estimated that in a while Sakura and Inner Sakura would come over.
Fortunately with such an ability, time management was no problem at all.
Aoba didn't wait long before Sakura and Inner Sakura both flew over.
And seeing Aoba already waiting for them on the rooftop, the two of them happily floated over.
———
Life once again returned to daily routine.
As the date of the Chunin exams drew closer, in the village one could already often see shinobi wearing forehead protectors of other ninja villages.
The team from Kirigakure also arrived in Konoha, but Terumi Mei still stayed in Aoba's house.
During this time, the Kirigakure shinobi came looking for her several times, all of which she pushed off with various reasons.
"I'll go to the Hyuga clan in a while,".After breakfast, Aoba said to Terumi Mei who was lying on the sofa like a puddle of mud.
Since clarifying their relationship, this woman had become more and more casual at his house.
"Hmm?", Terumi Mei upon hearing this immediately climbed up, hands crossed, lying on the back of the sofa.
The whiteness of her chest was squeezed so that it was about to spill out, from Aoba's angle he could already see two patches of pink.
"Then you can't accompany me to go out to play today?"
Aoba nodded.
The two words "not happy" were already written on Terumi Mei's face.
"Really, for no reason, what are you going to the Hyuga clan for?"
"I'm going to return the Byakugan to the Hyuga clan."
According to Tsunade's intention, it was to help him draw closer to the Hyuga clan.
But in Aoba's view, it seemed there wasn't really a need to draw closer.
"What?", Terumi Mei ground her teeth a bit.
Then, her eyes turned, the teeth grinding disappeared, and she blinked charmingly at Aoba, "If I give myself to you, can you not return the Byakugan?"
"That won't do, we are us, the village is the village."
"You!", Terumi Mei flushed red.
Aoba helplessly smiled, glanced at Yugao in the kitchen, and found that she wasn't paying attention to them.
He walked up to Terumi Mei, using his mouth to comfort her.
"Mm~", Terumi Mei wanted to push him, but Aoba's strength was too great, she couldn't resist at all.
———
After a long time.
"Cough! Cough!", From the kitchen, Yugao suddenly coughed once.
The two immediately separated.
Aoba helped Terumi Mei wipe her lip corner, and pinched her slightly reddened cheek.
"I'll go first."
"Hmph~", Terumi Mei softly snorted, lying back down again.
"Yugao-nee, I'm heading out!", Aoba greeted Yugao again.
"Mm," Yugao responded to him very indifferently.
Aoba awkwardly smiled, then pushed the door and went out.
———
In the season about to enter autumn, it suddenly started to rain.
This made Aoba a bit surprised.
When passing through the commercial street, he went into a shop, and also bought some candy for Hanabi along the way.
But when he came out, he saw an unexpected person.
Konan…
It wasn't that his eyes were sharp, but that she was too conspicuous.
———
For Konoha's Chunin joint exam, besides the other four great ninja villages, there were also quite a few small ninja villages that participated too.
For example Grass Village, Amegakure, etc.
Konan entered Konoha as the Jonin leader of Amegakure.
Upon entering Konoha, Konan seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
This was her first time coming to Konoha.
But the peace she once pursued, the world in her dreams, was probably just like this scene before her eyes.
Although it was raining, the air didn't have that decayed smell of Amegakure.
The streets were very clean, and there were no homeless people begging on the roadside.
Even on a rainy day, the people's faces were still filled with happy smiles, expressions she rarely saw on the faces of Amegakure's people.
On both sides of the street, there were many new and fresh things she had never seen.
Standing in the middle of the street, Konan lost her sense of direction, her orange eyes full of confusion.
After a long time, Konan lightly bit the tip of her tongue, letting herself wake up from the fantasy of peace.
'No matter how beautiful the peace here is, it only belongs to Konoha, not to Amegakure. Such peace is built upon the pain of countless small villages like Amegakure. Their peace never gave Amegakure even the slightest bit.'
And also… Konan thought of Sunagakure's plan.
'They plan to release the Tailed Beast inside Konoha. Starting a war again, it won't be long. Everything here will also turn to ruins.'
She looked at the villagers coming and going on the street.
Finally she took a deep breath, steeled her heart, and erased the good feelings in her heart toward Konoha.
Just linger in the illusion of peace like this, at least before destruction comes, they had all been happy once.
And she still had her mission.
The continuous drizzle fell on her delicate face, sliding down along the corner of her eye.
Just as she made up her mind, a shadow suddenly covered her.
The sudden change made her instantly alert, she immediately looked behind.
A silver-haired youth holding an umbrella slightly tilted forward blocked the rain that was originally falling on her.
The clean smile on his face made her a bit dazed, "Onee-san, getting wet is bad for your health."
