"She playfully patted me on the head.
'But waiting for me to grow up for a couple of years... seems like too long,' I doubted.
'Considering that after Hashi-kun, I had no one, this hardly seems like a serious period. Besides, knowing you for so long, I can be sure there are no ulterior motives in our relationship, even if it's purely friendly. I can always sense feelings towards myself.'
'Motives?'
'Do you think why Tsunade is still without a husband, even though she's well past her twenties? It's because the vast majority of men courting her are after money, influence, and Senju fame, not her herself. Others just want to possess such a luxurious body. It's almost the same situation with me now, especially with the possibility of influencing Kushina-chan through me. Hiruzen and Danzo are boiling with desire to get her in their hands.'
'Well, I need you yourself,' I chuckled and pulled Mito closer, kissing her with pleasure.
'Mmm, I feel like I'm twenty again,' she murmured after a while, pulling back slightly.
Hey, and I feel like I'm thirteen! Ha-ha-ha! You could say that in real age, we're not that different.
'Alright, maybe we should get up, otherwise Kushina-chan will stay hungry, and I'll be late for the team meeting,' I glanced at the clock and sighed somewhat disappointedly, got out of bed, not at all embarrassed by my own nudity, and began picking up the clothes scattered on the floor.
Indeed, I had to abandon the idea of putting it on again — the smell had soaked too deeply into the fabric in the bedroom, and Tsume would sniff me out in a second.
'Yes, we really need to get up — I still have a lot to do today,' agreed Uzumaki.
Watching her struggle to get out of bed, I couldn't help but smile proudly. However, her heavy gaze quickly erased it, and I hurried to apply my medical ninjutsu skills, allowing Mito to walk almost normally. After a quick joint shower, which lasted another half hour, I unpacked a spare set of clothes, quickly put it on, and slipped out of the house with a farewell kiss before Kushina could discover my presence.
Fortunately, my clone was already waiting for me in the crown of a nearby tree and dispersed as soon as I came into view. Only after receiving a stream of information did I remember with horror in what state I had created it.
Feverishly sorting through memories, I barely managed to hold back a relieved sigh — although the idea of Kagetsu Bunshin in my head was filled to the brim with indecent thoughts and scenes involving Sai, I had enough sense not to try to make them a reality. Suffice it to say, meditation rules.
Then, my empty stomach reminded me with a loud roar, and I realized that I had missed even yesterday's lunch, not to mention dinner and breakfast, so I had to have a good meal before heading to the training ground to replenish my strength.
Considering that Ichiraku was practically on the way, I happily turned there and slurped down seven plates of various ramen one after another. After belching contentedly, I continued on my way. There were still about twenty minutes left until nine o'clock, and rushing didn't make sense.
'Hey, Ryo, good morning!'
As I was leaving the residential quarters, someone called out to me.
'Hey, good,' I nodded to Ishi, waiting for him, and continued to walk leisurely along the road.
A couple of minutes passed in silence until my partner decided to break it.
'How do you like our mentor?'
'Not bad, despite the title of tokubetsu jonin, she's quite competent in taijutsu. If everything else is on the same level, we've got ourselves a decent teacher,' I shrugged.
'Not to mention her figure,' the guy grinned.
'Can't deny that, but better not spread rumors — the Hyugas are very particular and have almost nothing to catch on with outsiders,' I warned him.
'That's true, but no one will forbid looking.'
'Indeed,' I agreed.
'By the way, I've been meaning to ask — why do you dress so conservatively? I understand Aburame, but you're a Nara!'
