There was also a newly appeared hot spring inn, flower shop, and ninja tool store on the streets of Konoha within the dream space.
"Even the instance space has been renovated."
Uchiha Kage counted on his fingers for a long time and realized no matter how he calculated, his action points were just not enough.
This was truly troubling.
"I'll check what the instance is tomorrow. For today, I still want to see who's inside the newly appeared buildings."
'The flower shop and ninja tool store are probably run by Ino and Tenten, but who will be in the hot spring inn?'
With that curiosity, Uchiha Kage first spent an action point to enter the hot spring inn in the dream space.
Then he saw a pretty face he had just seen not long ago.
"So it's Temari..."
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
"She really loves bathing, huh."
Looking at Temari, who was soaking in the hot spring even in the dream space, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but make a comment.
———
"A waiter? Bring me a glass of milk!", Hair draping down, wearing only a black yukata, the slit hem revealing her snow-white long legs… just out of the bath, Temari was still radiating heat when she spotted the man who had walked in.
"Milk?"
Waving a few times in front of the girl to test, Uchiha Kage confirmed that this Temari in front of him was indeed an NPC.
However, just like Hinata in this space, this NPC Temari was slightly more mature than in real life. Taller, with longer legs.
Even her voice carried a more seductive charm.
"Isn't drinking milk after a bath common sense? Konoha people really don't know etiquette..."
'Strange, is this really my dream?'
Temari stared blankly at the boy who walked up to her.
She knew he was that handsome referee from the Chunin exam elimination rounds, not some waiter.
But the words came out of her mouth uncontrollably.
And what surprised her even more was that he didn't go get any milk. Instead, he sat down beside her and boldly stared under her yukata.
"How much milk do you want?"
Uchiha Kage wasn't particularly into Temari in her usual ninja outfit, but this freshly bathed, barely-clothed Temari…
He was definitely interested.
Especially seeing her sitting on a chair, fanning herself with a small folding fan.
Her slightly flushed face radiating warmth, her stretched-out legs exuding laziness and sensuality.
Uchiha Kage found it really hard to stop his hands from exploring.
"One glass is enough," Temari found herself saying the next sentence uncontrollably.
'So this really is a dream... Otherwise, how can I be unable to control what I am saying?'
'But to be dreaming this kind of dream…'
'Is it because of too much stress lately?'
'Or did I fall for this man at first sight?'
Suddenly being touched by Uchiha Kage, Temari initially resisted a little, but soon let go and prepared to surrender.
'Since it's a dream, might as well go with it to the end.'
She thought.
'This handsome, powerful, and gentle boy really is exactly my type.'
'To dream of something like this. It is a bit embarrassing, but also… not bad.'
At the very least, it helped her forget the real-world incident where that masked pervert saw her naked.
"Is one glass really enough?", Uchiha Kage flipped the warm, freshly bathed girl onto his lap and began giving her the milk she wanted.
———
"?"
The untouched girl suddenly jolted awake from her dream.
She had thought it was a beautiful fantasy she conjured up, but it turned out to be too good of a dream.
She actually imagined being... given milk by someone.
'Oh god, how can I have such an intense imagination?'
No one knew how much time passed before Temari finally recovered from being shocked awake.
"For a fantasy dream to go this far... It seems I really am under a lot of pressure."
Tearing off her sleepwear soaked in "sweat" and tossing it aside, Temari blushingly replaced the bedding in her room with a fresh set.
'This is Konoha's inn, after all. What the heck am I even doing?'
'A princess of the Sand Village doing something like this in Konoha...'
'If someone from Konoha finds out, it might become a laughingstock passed around...'
"His name is... Uchiha Kage, right?"
'Ugh, I only met him twice, and now I'm fantasizing like this...'
'But the Leaf Village… is still the enemy.'
'Once the Sand Village launches the attack on Konoha soon, I and he probably won't meet again.'
At that thought, Temari, rarely, felt a bit sorrowful.
"But... the Fourth Kazekage, my father, seems a little strange lately."
This, aside from the upcoming invasion of Konoha by the Sand Village, was the root cause of Temari's recent stress.
"Especially yesterday. Based on his personality, he not only wouldn't help me, but would have yelled at me for embarrassing myself in front of the Konoha people."
But last night, when she told him about the masked man stealing her towel, her father surprisingly comforted her and promised to find the culprit.
The father in her memory had never been so kind.
"Unfortunately, I can't talk about this with either of my brothers..."
Kankuro was always messing around and never cared about their father. As for Gaara. Don't even mention it. He even wanted to kill their father.
Watching the sunrise above the Hokage Rock in Konoha, Temari suddenly felt exhausted.
'What will become of me and the Sand's future?'
'If the plan fails, will I and my two brothers even survive?'
'Even if it succeeds, that Uchiha boy will...'
'But can it really succeed?'
It wasn't that she wanted to be pessimistic, but after seeing Konoha's prosperity and Uchiha Kage's strength with her own eyes, Temari really didn't have much faith in the Sand Village's chances.
'If possible, it'll be best to die by his hands...'
'Just like in the dream last night, where I was...'
———
"Ino, help Mom water the flowers..."
"Ino!"
"Oh...", After being called several times by Mrs. Yamanaka, the dazed Ino, standing in her family's flower shop with a blushing face, finally woke up a little and picked up the big scissors on the table.
"Ino, I asked you to water the flowers, not cut them!"
Seeing her daughter dumbly smiling and cutting a whole bouquet of perfectly arranged flowers down to bare stems, Mrs. Yamanaka wanted nothing more than to grab a feather duster and smack her daughter's little butt.
"Hmm..."
Putting down the scissors, Ino then picked up the nearby fire extinguisher.
"What on earth is wrong with you today?", Wearing an apron, Mrs. Yamanaka quickly held down her daughter's hand.
Then touched her forehead.
'No fever either.'
'Did she win the lottery? Or get possessed?'
Early in the morning she was giggling like a fool in front of the mirror, and after leaving the house, she just stood in the shop holding a bouquet like a statue.
"Don't tell me that Uchiha boy agreed to be your boyfriend?", Mrs. Yamanaka recalled that several years ago, her daughter had also shown the same lovesick expression.
That was when she had just started liking that boy called Uchiha Kage.
"Hmph, boyfriend and girlfriend? Mom, don't use such shallow terms to describe the relationship between me and him. Kage and I are...", The moment she heard Uchiha Kage's name, Ino snapped out of her fantasies temporarily.
Then she sank back into last night's memory.
Though she'd had dreams of Uchiha Kage before, compared to those hazy, blurry, forgettable "fake dreams," last night's dream felt just like reality.
Even now, she could clearly recall every word Uchiha Kage said to her in that dream.
'My little cosmos finally bloomed...'
'Beautiful blonde hair, cherry-pink beauty, perfect figure—Venus couldn't even compare...'
She also remembered every single move Uchiha Kage made.
And every electric, warm sensation her skin had felt.
'From the strokes on my silky hair down to the tips of my toes...'
'From kisses under my arms to the back of my knees...'
'From my satin-smooth back to the sound of me listening to my heartbeat...'
'The dream Kage loved me to the extreme.'
And completely matched her beautiful expectations of how Kage would treat her in the future. Even the version of herself in the dream matched exactly how she envisioned her grown-up body.
'Waist-length hair, full chest, slender waist...'
'No. That wasn't a dream, and it wasn't fantasy either!'
'So vivid, so real, that was definitely...'
'A prophecy!'
'That's right, I must have seen the future!'
