Aburame Aoi's soft whimpering and crying endlessly echoed in his ears.
Senju Wakama felt dizzy and disoriented, his mind a tangled mess.
No… this feeling wasn't right…
Aburame Aoi had been prattling on, and Senju Wakama, still half-asleep, had his attention drawn by her voice.
But now, Senju Wakama suddenly noticed something unusual about his body.
That feeling…
It was just like the last time he proactively went to the Uchiha clan and 'stole' Uchiha Yuki.
Senju Wakama understood: this 'loli elder sister' whimpering before him had actually given him an aphrodisiac!
She had deliberately spoken so much to allow the medicine to take effect.
Given how much Aburame Aoi knew about Tsukuyo's actions, she had probably been investigating for a long time.
Her continued silence and inaction were clearly due to strategizing.
Aburame Aoi had set her sights on him, but after observing Tamayo Nara's failure, Aburame Aoi chose a safer approach.
However…
What Aburame Aoi didn't know was that Senju Wakama would absolutely not compromise because of this.
He wasn't averse to beautiful women, but the premise was that it had to be his voluntary choice, not forced.
In such extraordinary times, any passive entanglement could lead to many unforeseen complications.
Senju Wakama would absolutely not allow himself to become a burden to his family.
Senju Wakama pretended nothing was amiss, slowly rose, and walked towards the window. He said calmly, "Instead of wasting time here, it's better to go tell Tsukuyo about it."
Having said that, Senju Wakama intended to jump out the window.
Unexpectedly, Aburame Aoi used a Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Senju Wakama and abruptly hugged his left leg.
Aburame Aoi knelt on the ground, looked up, and gazed at Senju Wakama with tearful eyes, pitifully saying, "I'm sorry, I…"
Before Aburame Aoi could react, Senju Wakama's figure had already vanished from the window, leaving only a single sentence: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a moment."
"Wait… wait, Wakama, don't go!"
Aburame Aoi looked terrified, but Senju Wakama's figure had already disappeared. She said with a pale face, "I gave you medicine… don't go, I'll help you undo it…"
Alas, only the mournful sound of the wind answered her.
Senju Wakama had vanished without a trace, hearing Aburame Aoi's words from afar and feeling a shiver down his spine.
Senju Wakama couldn't help but think that this romantic encounter was poisonous; Aburame Aoi was an 'insect girl,' and while she seemed cute and lovable on the surface, he truly had no idea how "heavy-flavored" it would actually be to get intimate with her.
But Aburame Aoi was right about one thing: the medicine was taking effect, and Senju Wakama had to find Tsukuyo as soon as possible.
Once he found Tsukuyo, Senju Wakama would simply have her cure him.
Senju Wakama still remembered how, when clan members suffered from vomiting and diarrhea before, Tsukuyo could heal them with a touch.
Regardless of the ailment, Tsukuyo could instantly cure it, and the medicine Aburame Aoi gave Senju Wakama wasn't lethal, so there should be no problem.
Senju Wakama climbed all the way up, heading straight for the highest floor.
He slipped into Tsukuyo's courtyard from the observation deck.
At this moment, the inner chamber was completely dark.
Senju Wakama wouldn't foolishly drag his current afflicted body around like a headless chicken, searching for Tsukuyo.
Many animals were hidden in Tsukuyo's courtyard.
Senju Wakama was in a very bad state. After reaching the observation deck of Tsukuyo's courtyard, he directly knelt on the ground.
The animals noticed Senju Wakama's abnormality and scurried out from the shadows, encircling him.
Senju Wakama forced a smile and whispered, "Please, tell Tsukuyo that I've been poisoned. Beg her to save her brother…"
The animals in this courtyard understood human speech. As soon as Senju Wakama spoke, several night birds flapped their wings and flew off.
Tsukuyo didn't make Senju Wakama wait too long.
"Oh dear, Third Brother, how did you fall for it?"
When Tsukuyo's voice came from behind him, Senju Wakama felt as if his hand had been gripped by iron tongs.
All discomfort vanished instantly.
Senju Wakama suddenly looked up, and what met his eyes was Tsukuyo's incredibly beautiful face. He whispered, "You're too terrifying; you scared Aburame Aoi. To save herself, she wants to become my concubine."
Regardless of the truth, on the surface, this was indeed how things appeared.
Tsukuyo chuckled, "You really have a lot of troublesome admirers, Third Brother. Are you afraid she'll control you with insects?"
Speaking, Tsukuyo said with a mischievous smile, "Actually, you could have had your way with her first, and then come to me. After all, you're a man, so you wouldn't lose out, would you? Not only would you take advantage, but you'd also make them lose both their wife and their army."
"Her abilities seem quite disgusting," Senju Wakama sighed. "However, because the Aburame clan doesn't have accurate intelligence on you, they don't know that no matter what, you can cure me."
Brother Zetsu had revealed information about Aburame Aoi; this girl was an anomaly within the Aburame clan.
Other Aburame clan members keep insects inside their bodies, controlling them to attack.
Aburame Aoi keeps insects inside a type of flower. Not only does she control insects to attack, but she also uses insects to control corpses.
Aburame Aoi developed this bizarre insect control jutsu on her own; who knows what tricks she might come up with to control living people.
Don't let her cute and lovable appearance fool you; she's actually a terrifying demoness.
Senju Wakama took a deep breath and said, "If, as you suggest, something happened between us and then you cured me, your abilities would be exposed to them prematurely."
Tsukuyo shook her head, "That girl might genuinely be interested in you, not as much as you think. The surveillance birds told me that Aburame Aoi accepted Tamayo Nara's commission to track you. Originally, it was just to help Tamayo Nara find your whereabouts, but after observing you so much, she might have fallen for you."
"Regardless, I don't want to cause you trouble." Senju Wakama took a deep breath; his body had expelled the abnormality, and it was time for him to go. "I'm going back. Oh, by the way… when will the ninja village you spoke of be completed?"
Actually, Senju Wakama had asked Brother Zetsu this question before.
Brother Zetsu said that without Tsukuyo, the Senju clan and Uchiha clan would only be able to reconcile and establish a ninja village at least twenty years later, after Senju Wakama killed Uchiha Izuna and the Uchiha clan was utterly demoralized.
But now it was different…
"We are not yet strong enough," Tsukuyo said with a smile.
Senju Wakama fell silent. Alright, he understood.
