Aoba could clearly feel a gust of wind tearing past, but he clenched his teeth in preparation. Yet in the end, what landed was only a flick to the forehead.
"Hm?", Covering his forehead, Aoba opened his eyes, full of bewilderment as he looked at Tsunade.
At this moment, Tsunade was sitting on the edge of the bed, arms propping up her chest, gazing at him with a teasing look.
"What? Not getting beaten up makes you feel uncomfortable?"
Aoba sat up doubtfully, "Could it be, sensei, you actually weren't angry?"
Tsunade gave him a sidelong glance,nm "What's there to be angry about? You saw it, so what? It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh."
She had already been completely seen through. What else could she say, what else could she do? She couldn't really beat this brat until he lost his memory, right?
Besides, with the relationship between the two of them now, taking that step was just a matter of time.
Aoba blinked, 'Could the Tsunade in front of me actually be Shizune in disguise?'
"Then can I take another look?"
BANG!
His head was met with a solid punch.
'Yep, it is Tsunade herself!'
"Brat, don't push your luck!"
Tsunade snorted unhappily and stood up, "Get up, time to go eat breakfast."
"Shizune-neesan just woke up, how could she have prepared breakfast so fast?"
Aoba tugged on Tsunade again, curiously asking, "Sensei, why are you up so early today?"
Hearing that, Tsunade sat back down.
"About that Hidan, I have a bit of a lead. I want to go take another look."
"Really?"
Aoba was a little surprised, "Then what's with his body?"
Tsunade pinched her chin, thinking, "Maybe it's related to natural energy."
"Is there a way to replicate it?", Aoba asked what was on his mind.
"Not sure yet, need to test more to know," A glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
'If it really can be replicated, then the problem of aging…'
At this moment, Aoba suddenly spoke again, "Sensei, doesn't this count as a huge achievement for me?"
"Hm?"
Tsunade snapped back to her senses. When she looked at Aoba again, he had already leaned right up close to her.
The hot breath hitting her face made her cheeks feel a wave of heat.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Aoba's lips curved up, "With such a big accomplishment, isn't it only reasonable for me to get a reward?"
"You… mmph!"
Before Tsunade could finish speaking, Aoba had already pressed up against her.
———
"This kind of thing, only this once!", While washing her hands, Tsunade flexed her wrist that felt a bit sore, glaring at Aoba.
"Sensei, weren't you also pretty happy just now?"
"Hm?", Tsunade's stare instantly made Aoba shrink back.
He looked a little helpless, expression falling, "Sensei, when will you finally…"
Before he finished speaking, his vision was suddenly blocked by a large expanse of soft white.
The next moment, he was enveloped in a warm embrace.
His face was pressed heavily between two peaks, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Brat, give me a bit more time…"
"..."
Aoba stayed silent for a while, then hugged Tsunade back in response, "If it's sensei saying it, no matter how long is fine."
———
"Sensei, can I pass the Yin Seal on to others?", While eating breakfast, Aoba suddenly asked.
Tsunade looked puzzled, "Who do you want to teach it to?"
"Just Konan-neesan and the others."
Aoba didn't beat around the bush, directly saying it.
Tsunade was silent for a moment, "If you want to teach, then teach. The key is whether they can learn it or not."
Saying that, she shot a glance at Shizune, who was quietly eating beside them.
"After all, someone studied it for years and still couldn't learn it, then just gave up."
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Shizune hadn't expected that while she was simply minding her own business eating, she'd get dragged into this.
It wasn't her fault, the Yin Seal was just too hard. With her talent, learning it would probably waste a huge amount of time.
But judging from the way things looked now, she had to properly start studying it.
Otherwise, when the time came, if everyone else stayed young but she alone grew old slowly, that really wouldn't do.
Thus, the matter of teaching the Yin Seal was this simply approved.
The Yin Seal was Tsunade's own development, and she herself had always been open about it. On top of that, Konan and the others weren't really outsiders.
Since they were family, there was even less of a problem.
"Sensei, there's one more thing."
Halfway through breakfast, Aoba suddenly spoke again.
Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Can't you just say everything at once?"
Aoba scratched his head, "It's also about Konan-neesan…"
He briefly explained the matter of finding Konan a job.
Tsunade didn't hesitate this time either. If someone could help reduce her workload, she'd be more than glad.
"Shizune, I'll leave this to you to arrange."
"Alright."
Shizune nodded in response.
After breakfast, Tsunade and Shizune went to the Hokage building, while Aoba returned home.
———
But the moment he walked in, his eyes lit up.
Yugito had indeed changed into the kimono Aoba had given her yesterday.
Only now she was pressing her hands down on her skirt, face full of shame and anger as she glared at Aoba, who had just returned.
Because the kimono she was wearing was a special design.
The hem was extremely short, just barely past the tops of her thighs, showing off Yugito's round, powerful legs to the fullest.
"This isn't a kimono at all!", Yugito glared at him as if she wanted to kill.
Aoba just smiled, "It's only a little short, how does that make it not a kimono? Besides, don't you look good in it?"
Hearing that, Yugito secretly spat in disgust, "Wearing this, I can't even work properly!"
Aoba just teased her with his eyes. With just a casual glance, he could clearly see that absolute territory.
"Wasn't all the work being done by Kin? Do you even do anything usually?"
Yugito looked a bit awkward, muttering in a low voice, "She's the one who insists on taking it all…"
"Isn't that because you're clumsy?"
"..."
Yugito was left speechless. She could only try to compromise. "Then can I wear the maid outfit from before?"
"There's already one maid in this house wearing a maid outfit. If there are too many, people will get tired of it."
Aoba rejected Yugito's suggestion, but still gave her a way out, "You can wear safety shorts."
"You!"
Yugito gritted her teeth, but realized this was a workable solution, "You said it yourself!"
Aoba nodded, then walked over to Konan with a look like he was watching a show.
"Konan-neesan, sensei agreed for me to teach you the Yin Seal."
"Really?"
Konan looked surprised, and on the side, Yugito's ears perked up too.
"You want to learn as well?"
Aoba naturally noticed Yugito's reaction and asked teasingly.
"Hmph! Just a measly Yin Seal, I'm not interested at all."
Yugito pretended to be completely indifferent.
Aoba looked regretful, "I was planning to teach you too. Since you're not interested, then forget it."
Yugito: "?"
