"Someone."
Itachi Uchiha slowed his pace and looked up towards the small grove in front of him. The Sharingan in his eyes flashed briefly before he relaxed again.
"Shinho?"
Sasuke Uchiha took a step forward but hesitated and stepped back. Shinho Aburame looked at Itachi Uchiha and had an epiphany. No wonder Sasuke ended his chakra control training early today.
"Shinho."
Itachi Uchiha approached him and said, "Thank you for taking care of Sasuke these past few days."
"No need to thank him," Sasuke instinctively retorted.
"Sasuke, you must not be rude," Itachi gently patted his head.
"It was nothing," Shinho Aburame shook his head and said, "I just kept my promise with Aunt Mikoto." Besides, he hadn't really taken care of him; he had even beaten him a few times.
"Even so, I still have to thank you," Itachi Uchiha said earnestly.
"No need to thank me," Shinho Aburame replied calmly, "Since I still have things to do. I'm leaving now."
He has quite a personality. Itachi Uchiha was puzzled. How did Shinho Aburame become so close with Sasuke? These two didn't seem like they could become friends.
"Brother, Shinho is like that. Don't mind him," Sasuke shook his arm and said.
"I don't mind at all," Itachi Uchiha laughed. It was the first time he saw Sasuke speak up for someone else. It seems his brother had truly grown up.
Shinho Aburame pushed open the door and returned to the wooden house. He wasn't idly running over to watch Sasuke's high jumps out of boredom. Meeting them was purely an accident. His real purpose was the wine nectar.
Shinho Aburame took out two bottles from the refrigerator and found the Wine Gu outside. He infused his primeval essence. Soon, the flowers on the vines bloomed, and nectar began to drip down through the delicate petals. A mouthwatering fragrant aroma spread through the courtyard.
Shinho Aburame opened the bottles and leaned forward. After a few minutes, he obtained two bottles of wine nectar. The petals wilted and then reclosed. Although the Wine Gu can produce alcohol, it wasn't a machine and needed to rest.
Shinho Aburame placed the wine nectar on the table and began working diligently like a farmer. He watered the Yuelan flowers with primeval essence, and for the rest, he used fertilizer and water. After finishing, Shinho Aburame carried the wine nectar and left.
"I'm back."
Shinho Aburame shouted as he bent down to take off his shoes. As soon as he spoke, a fragrant breeze blew towards him.
It was Tsunade. From his perspective, she appeared with her painted toenails. Ten smooth toes neatly arranged, the tops of her feet and ankles glistening like milk. Shinho Aburame instinctively looked up. Following the curvaceous thighs upward, he blinked, unable to see her face.
Just as Shinho Aburame was about to speak, he felt his hands empty. The two bottles of wine nectar had vanished without a trace.
"Not bad."
Tsunade took a deep breath, rubbed his head a few times, and then turned to leave.
"..."
Shinho Aburame tugged at the corners of his mouth. He brought alcohol and was patted on the head as a reward. Hmph, he'll have to spank her properly in the future, Shinho shook his head.
Shinho Aburame withdrew his gaze from her retreating figure.
"Welcome home."
Shizune appeared in front of him, smiling brightly.
"Sister Shizune."
Shinho Aburame nodded in response. At least his sister still has some conscience. The only regret was her lack of courage.
"Come in and eat," Shizune cleared the seat. Shinho Aburame walked into the living room. Tsunade was sitting at the dining table, having already taken two sips of alcohol, her cheeks slightly flushed.
With her beautiful appearance and voluptuous figure, she exuded an indescribable sexiness and allure. Too bad she had such a big mouth. Or rather, she had an extremely bad temper.
"Come here."
Tsunade patted the seat beside her and said. Shinho Aburame approached and sat down.
"Here," Tsunade magically produced a pair of gauntlets. Shinho Aburame was slightly startled. As expected of Master Yamamoto, he already forged his gauntlets.
Shinho Aburame took the gauntlets that looked like gloves. Unlike what he had imagined, they resembled disposable gloves. Shinho Aburame put on the gloves, clenched his fists a few times, and barely felt any weight. White, lightweight, and breathable.
"Are you satisfied?" Tsunade asked proudly, "If not, I'll have him remake them." She certainly had the qualifications. Everyone in Konoha had to take her status into consideration.
"They're pretty good," Shinho Aburame put away the gloves and said, "Thank you, Sensei."
Tsunade glanced at him and didn't pay much attention. She took another sip of nectar alcohol, let out a deep breath, and her cheeks became even rosier. The scent of alcohol mixed with her natural fragrance. Shinho Aburame suddenly felt invigorated.
"Tomorrow is the Chunin Exams, Shinho. Are you going to watch?" Shizune suddenly interrupted and asked.
"I'm not." Shinho Aburame shook his head. After all, he had other things to take care of.
"Then would you be willing to go for your sister?" Shizune blinked her eyes playfully and asked. During the Chunin Exams, Konoha Hospital would have to dispatch temporary medical staff. She was the leader of this team.
"Nope, I'm sorry." Shinho Aburame rejected coldly.
"Don't you love your sister anymore?" Shizune feigned sadness and asked.
"I have to go home tomorrow," Shinho Aburame explained. Shizune sighed and didn't press further. What else could she do?
After eating, Shinho Aburame went outside to practice his super strength. He put on the boxing gloves, activated his primeval essence, and threw a powerful punch. Another deep pit appeared on the ground.
Shinho Aburame couldn't help but nod. Compared to the nearby pit, it was about one-fifth larger. This was the enhancement from the chakra boxing gloves.
As night fell, Shinho Aburame stopped his training. His primeval essence had been almost entirely consumed. Shinho Aburame returned to the living room.
Shizune was sitting on the sofa, blow-drying her hair. She had just finished bathing and changed into a kimono sleepwear. The loose kimono made her look more ordinary. Shinho Aburame thought about the finale. Even at that time, she would still be about the same. What a sad story.
"What are you staring at your sister for?" Shizune turned off the hairdryer and asked with a smile, "Are you wanting your sister to help you bathe?"
What a rogue.
Shinho Aburame shook his head and went to the bathroom.
After bathing, Shizune was still in the living room. She was holding a cup of milk, steaming hot. Clearly, she was waiting for him. As for Tsunade, she went to bed early after drinking.
"Thank you, Shizune." After drinking the milk she offered, Shinho Aburame went back to his room to rest.
A new day.
Shinho Aburame found a small note left by Shizune on the dining table in the living room. Because she had to participate in the Chunin Exams, she left early and delegated the task of making breakfast for Tsunade to him.
"Sensei."
Shinho Aburame raised his hand and knocked on the door several times; it opened only after knocking for a while.
"Little brat, how dare you disturb my sleep?" Tsunade yawned, her sleepy eyes relaxed, but her words were unforgiving.
Shinho Aburame swallowed hard. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her kimono sleepwear's neckline was wide open, revealing a large area of skin. Snow-white yet well-defined, creating a strong visual impact.
"Wait," Tsunade realized something and closed the door. She looked down, tugged at her neckline. She shook her head, he was just a kid after all.
