Sumire all this time turned pale aside and did not know how to behave at all. Nothing more embarrassing had ever happened to her in her life... Unless, only He.
"God, they're crazy..."
To be in the circle of these warlike women, such a feeling ...
In general, Sarada behaved somehow coldly with her, but not so aggressively. It looks like Temari became a trigger, and she finally could not stand it... The topic with her mother turned out to be painful, but for Temari, the mention of betrayal was not in vain...
Sharp tongues are indeed insidious weapons, especially in the hands of hot-tempered women...
"What a headache..."
Shizune appreciated Sarada's potential, not to mention her courage and determination to drastically overwhelm her opponent. Too proud, at the same time she easily identified Temari's idea and did not allow herself to be humiliated.
"I managed to meet them..."
But, we have to admit - such a temper will definitely not lead to good ... In addition, after what happened, it will be difficult to establish relations.
Shizune could only sigh and try, pulling on the mask of the neutral side...
- You two!
Sarada and Temari turned around sharply and saw the angry face of the older kunoichi in front of them. Shizune stood in front of them, put her hands on their shoulders, squeezed her fingers harder, and then scolded in annoyance:
"Are you completely out of your mind?!" Decided to fight? Do you even know where you are?!
In fact, Shizune would like to see it, but she knew that it would not lead to anything good. If someone gets hurt, the Master can take revenge on her. She couldn't take that risk. In addition, Temari was now her ally, and feuding with an Uchiha is not a good idea, especially with his student. Besides, fighting with a child under his heart... Shizune would never let his flesh and blood be in such danger.
Sarada's status was quite high, obviously higher than someone else's wife, albeit pregnant. And anyway, by order of the Master, Shizune needed to work well with Sumire. Fighting is useless now.
Shizune became smarter and more cunning, now she did not act on the forehead, but acted subtly, looking for other people's weaknesses. If she could agree, she did it. She could put pressure on pity - she acted. She learned from her adored Master and became much more dangerous...
- What are you doing here? Temari... You're not fifteen years old! Piercing her friends with a reproachful look, Shizune abruptly turned to Sarada and reproached:
- And you?! Quite already? Quickly put away your Sharingan! Are you going to attack everyone like that? Show respect! Do you want to harm his child?!
Sarada suddenly shuddered!
"R-baby?!"
She heard about it for the first time!
Throwing a worried glance at Temari's belly, the girl could no longer attack.
"Is she… P-pregnant? How is it…" — all the fuse immediately turned into a disappointed sigh.
Shizune played the role of the eldest quite well... Even she herself found it pleasant to control the situation like that.
Sarada really went too far, but it is understandable - she considered herself special, and here he didn't appear for so long ... Then there was another quarrel between mother and father, a desire to meet with the Master and find support from him. She then met with Sumire and after a little conversation, they also decided to make some kind of non-aggression pact as well. Special neutrality, no enmity, and then went together to the Residence to meet him...
But then there were his girls! Sarada broke down, her jealousy blinding her, especially when faced with such outrageous behavior on behalf of some married litter. It just so happened that Sarada considered only her mother a worthy rival, maybe part of Hinata, but she only felt contempt for the rest. True, she still managed to reach a consensus with Sumire, but with the others...
But the baby changed everything...
In general, everyone here was on edge due to the absence of Naruto, so such a small scandal would definitely happen sooner or later. Everyone is right and wrong in their own way, someone crossed the line, and someone was hypocritical. If this continues, catastrophe cannot be avoided.
Leaving a whole crowd of unsatisfied women can be dangerous not only for themselves, but possibly for the whole village. They were already weighed down by rivalry and jealousy, and his indifference added fuel to the fire. Girls are too emotional, especially kunoichi... Uchiha is on the top list of threats. Naruto was lucky they didn't break into his house.
Realizing everything and suppressing her emotions with force, Sarada snorted and deactivated the Sharingan, after which she cast a hostile look at Temari:
Where is my Master? What did you even forget in his office? What right do you have to be here?
"Ha, just look at her…" Temari started up again. But Shizune suppressed it in time:
- Enough! Turning to Sarada, she showed a stern look.
- Take it easy. We're not your enemies, so stop behaving like that.
— Hmph! The Uchiha snorted and turned away.
"It's like I don't see how they look at me ...
Shizune glared at Temari in annoyance.
"Does it have to be such a bitch?"
— Tch! - the blonde raised her chin haughtily, but did not answer, but only returned to her place, threw her legs on the table, after which hissed jealously:
"It's always not enough for him… Damn egoist.
"Haa... She's incorrigible..."
Shizune shook her head with a wry smile and smiled peacefully at Sarada.
- Never mind. Pregnant women are all like that. Believe me... At one time, your mother was simply unbearable. She even attacked Six and threw him out the window...
— Eh? R-really?" Sarada heard about this for the first time, but knowing the fiery nature of her mother, for some reason she did not even doubt these words.
Pregnancy explains everything...
The truth is that she didn't know about His child until today... Glancing at Temari's belly with slight interest, the girl suddenly frowned and touched her own.
"Me too… So why…"
Shizune smiled in understanding. How familiar she was with that look... Just such a gleam in her eyes clearly indicated that she was no longer a girl standing in front of her.
"Haa… How fast they grow up. When Sakura finds out, she'll be furious..."
Noticing Sarada's actions, Temari softened a bit, though she didn't stop pouting. Young girls evoked in her an instinctive desire for rivalry. Plus, she's been getting really nervous lately...
