"When we first met, that Lady Tsunade extorted two Mystery Box from me under the guise of treatment," Xin explained with a helpless expression.
"Eh? Is the big sister that kind of person?" Naruto exclaimed.
"What big sister, that's Lady Tsunade!" Sakura finally couldn't help it and punched Naruto hard on the head, "Did you even pay attention in history class?! Lady Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she's over fifty years old now!"
She didn't dare to say it when Tsunade was there.
Now she had no qualms.
Naruto, however, was severely shocked.
Over fifty years old?
She clearly looked like a super beautiful big sister! Even more elegant than Sakura.
Xin gave Naruto a meaningful look.
He had seen a post online before analyzing that beneath Naruto's hot-blooded protagonist exterior, there was actually a repressed inner self.
After all, this guy was a master who developed the Sexy Jutsu at the age of twelve.
He also started pursuing Sakura when he was still in his teens.
Later, when he met Haku, who was dressed as a woman, he even seemed to have a feeling of love at first sight.
Now that he saw him in person.
Xin felt there was a bit of truth to that.
"Alright, we should head back too." Sakura seemed to suddenly remember the time and jumped down in a bit of a panic, "It's already so late! I have to go first. Naruto, Sasuke, see you tomorrow."
"I'll go with you too." Naruto naturally followed Sakura and then turned back to look at Sasuke.
"You guys go first." Sasuke waved his hand, "I want to look a bit longer."
Looking at those gourmet Mystery Box?
Naruto hesitated for a moment, but seeing Sakura walking further and further away, he quickly followed.
"Then I'll go home with Sakura."
"What do you mean go home with me! Go back to your own homes!"
"Anyway, we're going the same way, Sakura-chan."
"..."
Their voices faded into the distance, and eventually, only Xin and Sasuke were left at Ichiraku Ramen.
Sasuke kept looking at Xin.
But Xin was just looking at Himari in his arms, gently teasing Himari's pink paw pads with his finger.
There was a moment of silence.
"Mr. Xin!" Sasuke finally couldn't help but call out.
"Shh—"
Xin put his finger to his lips, stopping Sasuke, then turned his head and looked at the shadow under the lamplight, chuckling softly, "As a merchant, I also believe in first come, first served. So, the customers who have been following me over there, what kind of Mystery Box would you like to buy?"
What!?
Sasuke turned his head sharply.
From the shadows, a figure that seemed to be completely integrated with the environment slowly walked out.
Then, a second, a third...
A total of seven or eight figures appeared on this street that had become deserted at some point.
