After dealing with the Eight-Tails, Zhang Miao patted Killer B on the shoulder again and cheerfully spoke to him.
"B, don't just stand there. Keep those gifts I gave you. By the way, where's the bathhouse in Kumogakure?"
"Bathhouse?" Hearing Zhang Miao's question, Killer B put the two wooden carvings in his pocket and pointed in a direction, speaking rhythmically. "Kumo bathhouse—over there, separate for men and women—super large!"
Zhang Miao understood Killer B's words and nodded.
"Okay, so there's a large public bath in that direction. Got it. You continue teaching your students. I've been traveling and am quite dusty. I'm going to freshen up with a bath. See you!"
With that, Zhang Miao performed the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from their sight.
As soon as Zhang Miao's figure completely vanished, Killer B seemed to realize something, and his face changed drastically. He quickly spoke to Omoi and Karui.
"His hobby—terrible, village girls—danger, master must—follow, you two—train alone!"
Without waiting for Omoi and Karui to respond, Killer B jumped off the rooftop platform and sprinted toward the direction Zhang Miao had left.
Killer B was so anxious because he remembered the time in Konoha when Zhang Miao had used a crystal ball to peep at girls bathing. He worried Zhang Miao would repeat the same behavior here in Kumogakure.
To protect the honor of the village girls, Killer B increased his speed to the maximum. He reached the public bathhouse in Kumogakure in just a few breaths and hurriedly went inside.
Once inside, he circled outside the women's bath, intending to stop Zhang Miao from peeping. However, despite searching around the women's bath, he didn't find anyone, which puzzled him.
"Why—no one, maybe he—didn't come?"
As Killer B pondered this, he heard the laughter and chatter of girls from inside the women's bath.
"Wow, Samui, your boobs are so big. I'm so jealous. I'm grabbing them!"
"Hehe, Kakui, stop it. You'll have them someday, too!"
"I can't be sure about that. By the way, Yugito, your skin is so smooth and tender, like a baby's. It feels amazing. Here comes my Dragon Eighteen Palms. Mabui, don't run!"
"Hehe, Kakui, stop it, or I'll get mad... So ticklish, hehe..."
Imagining the scene inside the bathhouse, Killer B's face turned red, and he quickly prepared to leave.
But after taking a few steps, he stopped, frowning.
"Who is this Kakui? Her name sounds—familiar!"
Killer B was familiar with the social circles of Mabui, Samui, and Yugito, but he didn't remember anyone named Kakui among them.
As he pondered this, the laughter inside the bath quieted, and Mabui's slightly breathless voice came from within.
"Whew... Kakui, stop it. I give up. By the way, you came back with Raikage-sama and don't have a place to stay yet, right? Why don't you move in with me?"
Came back with Raikage-sama?
Hearing this, Killer B's brows furrowed further. He remembered that the Fourth Raikage didn't bring any girl back with him.
As he began to doubt his memory, the girl named "Kakui" spoke again from inside the bath.
"No need, Mabui. I'm staying at Killer B's house. His place is huge, hehe!"
Are you staying at my house?
Hearing Kakui's words, Killer B was momentarily stunned. Then, he suddenly remembered that when Zhang Miao introduced himself to Omoi and Karui, he called himself "Kakui."
In Kumogakure, many names end with "i" or "yi," so Killer B hadn't initially noticed. But now he understood that the girl named Kakui in the women's bath was undoubtedly Zhang Miao in disguise.
Realizing this, Killer B was shocked. He quickly moved to the window of the women's bath to catch Zhang Miao.
Unfortunately, just as he peeked through the window, a girl's scream rang out before he could see anything.
"Ah... someone's peeping!"
Unquestionably, the scream came from Zhang Miao, disguised as "Kakui."
With his heightened sensory abilities, Zhang Miao had detected Killer B's approach early on but had kept silent. Now, to avoid exposure, he dragged Killer B into trouble.
"I saw him. It's Killer B! He always peeps at me at home. He's so annoying... boohoo..."
Life is a drama, and Zhang Miao was a born actor. He cried convincingly, looking pitiful and arousing the girls' sympathy and anger towards Killer B.
"Killer B!"
The first to react was Yugito Nii, who transformed into a giant cat engulfed in blue flames.
The Two-Tails, Matatabi, fully transformed!
Like Killer B, Yugito Nii had a good relationship with her tailed beast and could fully transform while maintaining her sanity.
Seeing the fully transformed Yugito Nii, Zhang Miao wiped his "tears" and shouted at her.
"Yugito, teach that peeping Tom Killer B a lesson! Don't lose to him!"
Zhang Miao's shout fired up the other girls in the bath.
"That's right, Yugito! Teach B a lesson!"
"Don't let him off lightly. Show him who's boss!"
"Go for it!"
Encouraged by the others, Yugito Nii, fully transformed, let out a roar and charged at Killer B.
Facing the enraged Yugito Nii, Killer B had no time to explain and could only fend off her attacks.
Dust flew, and sparks scattered!
While chaos ensued outside the bath, Zhang Miao inside was elated as the system prompts echoed in his mind.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the special effect 'United Against a Common Enemy,' earning 10 seven-star shadow-level Yugito Nii ninja fragments, 10 six-star elite jounin Samui ninja fragments, and 10 six-star elite jounin Mabui ninja fragments!"
Hearing the string of prompts, Zhang Miao wiped away his "tears" again and cheered with righteous indignation.
"Yugito, go! Defeat the peeping Tom Killer B! Go!"
