When Aoba returned to the Senju ancestral residence. Before he even entered the house, he was blocked by two figures.
"Aoba, why did you guys leave me behind and go have fun by yourselves?"
"Aoba-nii, why did you go out alone with that big-breasted woman?"
Both Kurotsuchi and Karin stood angrily in front of Aoba, questioning him at the same time.
This left him not knowing whose question to answer first.
Aoba directly raised his hand to rub Karin's head and answered her question first, "Sakura and Ino had something to do today..."
"Then why couldn't you take me along?", Karin obviously didn't accept this reason.
"Because you weren't up yet at that time," Aoba had an innocent look on his face.
"This...", Karin opened her mouth, then bit her lip; she had no way to refute this.
Because today it was Sakura and Ino's turn to go with Aoba, so she slept in a bit.
"Then... then why did that big-breasted woman come back just now with a red face? Did you do something to her?", Karin puffed out her cheeks.
This question was really hard for Aoba to answer, so he simply didn't answer.
Right in front of Kurotsuchi, he directly hugged Karin.
Then he planted a few kisses on her puffed-up cheek.
Then, like a pufferfish, she slowly deflated and became dazed.
Kurotsuchi at the side was dumbfounded. She felt she shouldn't be here.
"You... you two have had enough! There's still someone else here!"
Hearing Kurotsuchi's angry shout, Aoba finally let go of the somewhat dazed Karin.
He looked at Kurotsuchi with a half-smile, "Didn't you say yesterday it was a challenge? I can accept your challenge right now, when did I leave you behind?"
"I, I...", Kurotsuchi's face turned red, not knowing how to answer.
She couldn't exactly say that her real purpose wasn't to challenge, but just to go out and have fun with them, right?
As a Tsuchikage's disciple, she still had her pride.
"Do you still want to challenge me?", Aoba asked Kurotsuchi.
"I want to!", Kurotsuchi gnashed her teeth, glaring fiercely at Aoba, "This time I'll definitely beat you down!"
"Come on then..."
———
The fight ended quickly.
Kurotsuchi lay on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, eyes lifelessly staring at the sky.
She couldn't win by words, couldn't win by force. She just felt wronged in her heart now, but couldn't even say where the grievance was.
Aoba walked to Kurotsuchi's side, then used Mystical Palm Technique to heal her.
"I don't need your treatment!", Kurotsuchi shook her head back and forth, extremely uncooperative.
"What if it leaves a scar?"
"!", Kurotsuchi instantly stopped shaking her head.
"If it leaves a scar, such a cute face would be ruined," Aoba frightened her a bit more.
Kurotsuchi didn't dare move at all now, and started to cooperate.
"You can't be my opponent. Challenging me a few more times is meaningless," Aoba healed while persuading her.
Kurotsuchi was silent for a while, "I'll come challenge you again after I get stronger."
"Very welcome," Aoba smiled, then said, "Want to come out with us tomorrow?"
"Wha... what?", Kurotsuchi's expression turned a bit dumbfounded.
"We're friends now too. If you want to go out with us, you don't need to use a challenge as an excuse. Just come find us directly."
"I... I'm not doing it to have fun," Kurotsuchi's cheeks flushed a bit after her real intention was exposed, but she still insisted stubbornly, "But since you're inviting me, it's not like I can't agree. This way it'll be easier for me to find your weaknesses."
"Whatever makes you happy."
'This tsundere personality is quite interesting.'
After finishing treating Kurotsuchi, she left with a slightly more cheerful step.
Aoba stayed outside and snuggled with Karin for a while, then went into his own house.
It was still Yugao cooking in the kitchen; although she'd heard the commotion outside just now, she didn't feel like going out to watch the excitement.
Because she didn't need to guess to know the outcome.
After all, Karin was one of the easiest girls to coax.
But Terumi Mei had peeked out through the window just now; after sitting down, her expression became not so pleasant.
Aoba calmly sat down beside Terumi Mei.
The moment he entered the house, she started mouthing words at him.
"Big~ scum~ man!"
Terumi Mei was really in a bad mood now.
Although she had already decided to cut off this impossible relationship and keep her distance from him. But this guy had just confessed to her, said so many touching words, and even stole her first kiss. Then turned around and got all lovey-dovey with another girl.
Clearly he'd messed up her heart, but acted like nothing happened himself. It made her really angry.
"Didn't you already know?", Aoba naturally held Terumi Mei's hand.
"Hmph!", Terumi Mei snorted softly, wanting to shake off his hand, but Aoba was holding it too tightly.
She couldn't shake it off at all.
Next, her eyes turned, as if she'd thought of some good idea, "Aren't you afraid Yugao will see?"
"Would Mei-neesan tell Yugao-neesan?", Aoba leaned close to Terumi Mei's ear, his voice crisp.
The roles reversed.
And hearing him call her that, Terumi Mei's heart trembled suddenly.
Her ears grew redder and redder, like they were dripping blood, and even her body started trembling.
"Are... are you okay?", Aoba hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her, and couldn't help but worry whether something was wrong with her body.
"Call me that again," Terumi Mei's voice became a little dry, but her tone carried longing.
"Hmm?", He seemed to have found one of Terumi Mei's weaknesses.
"Mei~ nee~ san?", Aoba deliberately made his voice a little softer, sounding very weak.
Terumi Mei's body trembled even more, her face showing a satisfied expression.
"This...", Seeing her reaction, Aoba was a little scared.
'Why does it feel like she is about to climax or something?'
"Call me that a few more times," Terumi Mei looked at him with burning eyes.
Mainly it was the sudden contrast in Aoba's behavior that worked on her.
Usually he always looked so proper and acted all calm and collected towards her. But suddenly acting cute like this, she couldn't resist at all for a moment.
And she actually really wanted a little brother too; if Aoba really married her, she'd have a boyfriend and little brother in one.
It was just a pity that he wouldn't marry her.
Aoba only felt that this big sister was like a shark, as if she could eat him at any moment.
Then he started calling out "neesan, neesan" repeatedly in her ear.
While Terumi Mei felt satisfied, she also made a new decision in her heart.
As for cutting off this relationship or whatever, she'd think about that after she left Konoha.
For now, she'd just live like a normal couple.
She'd worked so hard for Kirigakure, couldn't she enjoy a little?
