"So, the new clothes you were talking about are new stockings?", Aoba asked somewhat helplessly.
"Hehe!"
Karin let out a hehe laugh, then stood in front of Aoba, her jade feet wrapped in black silk stepping on the warm floor as she tiptoed up slightly, spinning around in a pretty playful way.
"Does Aoba-nii think it looks good?"
"Looks good."
Though a bit helpless, Aoba still praised her sincerely from the heart.
This wasn't just perfunctory. After all, this scene full of girlish charm really gave him a pleasing, delightful feeling.
"I knew Aoba-nii would like it."
Karin immediately sat down beside him with a face full of smiles, then directly lifted her black silk jade foot and placed it right in front of him.
"What's up?"
Aoba pretended to be puzzled.
"Aoba-nii likes it so much...", Karin's eyes darted around as she said, "Don't you wanna feel the material with your hands again?"
"The boss lady said this is the best material in the store, and it costs a pretty penny."
"Cough! Oh yeah, then we definitely gotta check it out properly. Let me see if she's false advertising," Clearing his throat, Aoba reached out his hand with a serious expression.
The moment he touched it, it felt incredibly smooth.
And since Karin exercised year-round, her calf had not a bit of excess fat, with skin that was unusually bouncy, soft, and smooth.
"How's the material feel, Aoba-nii?", Karin asked, her little face slightly flushed.
"Not bad, seems worth the price, but we'll need a more careful check on the other aspects to be sure."
Aoba commented all seriously, his palm sliding downward, planning to inspect even more closely.
But Karin pursed her lips slightly and suddenly pulled her leg back from his hand.
"Hm?", His hand suddenly empty, this left even Aoba a bit surprised. Not disappointed or anything, just unexpected.
Karin hooked up the corner of her mouth and said with some pointed meaning, "Aoba-nii, just using your hands probably won't tell if the material's good or bad, right?"
"..."
Feeling Karin's movements already getting restless, how could he not see what this girl wanted to do.
But right at that moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.
Aoba and Karin both froze for an instant, but Karin didn't choose to put her foot down. Instead, she grabbed a blanket from nearby and covered it up.
"I'm back," Uzumaki Kasui opened the door, stood at the entrance, bent down, one hand on the wall, the other taking off her high heels.
Suddenly, she spotted the shoes at the entryway and realized something, quickly changed into slippers, and entered the living room.
Seeing the two on the sofa sitting close together in such a weird posture, though puzzled at heart, she couldn't help but show a knowing, gentle smile.
"Aoba, when did you get here?"
"I just got off work and came over, got something to tell you two."
Aoba smiled back, while discreetly pinching Karin's thigh.
Because she was still being a bit restless.
But Karin just pursed her lips, still doing her own thing as she pleased.
"Something serious?", Uzumaki Kasui was a bit thrown off for a moment, not getting what serious thing Aoba was talking about.
"Aunt Kasui," Aoba suddenly sat up straight, asking with a serious expression, "Do you want revenge?"
"Revenge?", Uzumaki Kasui looked at him, totally baffled.
"Next up, Konoha will launch a war against the Land of Grass under the name of the Land of Snow."
Aoba said in a flat tone, "If you want, you can come with me to Grass Ninja Village and take revenge on them with your own hands."
Uzumaki Kasui froze upon hearing this, and even Karin stopped her little movements, staring at him in a daze.
Clearly neither of them expected Aoba to suddenly bring this up.
To say she had no hatred for Grass Ninja Village was impossible.
Because if Aoba hadn't shown up, she'd definitely have died at the hands of Grass Ninja Village, and back then her daughter probably would've followed in her footsteps.
Though so much time had passed, the hatred wouldn't just fade away easily.
But after coming to Konoha, with so many years gone by, revenge was no longer her top priority.
Now what mattered more was protecting this happy life they had.
So she was still a bit worried, "Aoba, why start a war all of a sudden?"
Aoba repeated what had happened in the Land of Snow before.
"I see..."
After hearing the whole story, Uzumaki Kasui showed an understanding expression.
This Grass Ninja Village was true to form, for immediate gain, they'd do anything, no ninja virtue at all.
"I was originally planning to wait till you two were strong enough, then sneak you over to Grass Ninja Village for revenge, but now we can do it openly with this chance," Aoba added.
Uzumaki Kasui felt deeply touched inside after hearing this.
He'd not only saved her and her daughter from hell, but even kept remembering to help them get revenge.
She didn't even know how to repay this kindness.
Intense emotions clogged her chest, seeming ready to burst out.
But before she could speak, Karin, who was already sitting right next to Aoba, responded first.
"Aoba-nii!", Karin, all emotional, directly pounced on Aoba and knocked him onto the sofa.
She'd always liked Aoba, and now seeing him still thinking of them like this, her heart was practically melting.
She was fully sprawled on him, her little head rubbing nonstop.
If Uzumaki Kasui weren't right there, who knows what not-for-kids stuff she might've done.
But Karin's reaction actually cooled Uzumaki Kasui's own burning emotions a bit.
She shook her head helplessly at the two play-fighting, but not long after, her face couldn't help but flush red again.
Because Karin's movements had exposed the spot just covered by the blanket.
She saw it right on.
'This... This... This...'
'How could Karin do this kind of thing in the living room with Aoba?'
'This is way too much.'
Even more over the top was, with her as the mom standing right there, Karin didn't feel even a shred of shame.
Looking at Karin playfully pouncing on Aoba, Uzumaki Kasui suddenly felt all fidgety and out of place.
Felt like she shouldn't be here, like she should be under the bed.
"Aoba, I'll go with whatever you say on this."
"You two chat slowly, I'm heading to my room first," She blurted it all out, then Uzumaki Kasui hurried back to her room with flustered steps.
"Hm? What's up with mom?", Karin heard Uzumaki Kasui's voice and lifted her head, but only caught a glimpse of her hurriedly leaving back.
"What do you think?", Aoba was a bit speechless, pulling the blanket that Karin's movements had flipped up back into place.
"This...", Karin saw his actions and got it, scratching her head a bit embarrassed.
But after shifting her body a little, she lifted both her legs again.
Her foot arches curved up, the black silk fabric stretching taut, reflecting seductive light under the lamp.
"..."
Aoba looked at her expectant expression and couldn't help feeling a wave of helplessness.
Though Tsunade and the others teased him now and then about being a bit perverted, how come he felt like Karin was even more perverted.
"At least... let's go back to the bedroom..."
