[Inside the Hokage Office]
After a round of tossing and turning.
Tsunade was sitting on the Hokage seat, wiping her own feet with a look of disgust on her face while complaining.
"You little brat, you're definitely a foot fetishist, huh? You like other people's feet that much?"
"Of course not!", Aoba, who was wiping the corner of his mouth, immediately retorted, but the corners of his mouth also slightly curled up.
"Hah! You think I believe that?", Tsunade sneered disdainfully, then even wiggled her own feet.
Aoba only narrowed his eyes slightly, then straightened his back a little, "As long as it's a pretty girl, I like it no matter where."
"..."
"You're really a pervy little brat, why didn't I realize before that you were this lecherous?", Tsunade glared at him discontentedly.
"Then does teacher regret taking me as a disciple?", Aoba asked.
Tsunade's foot-wiping paused for a moment, then she threw the towel she was using at Aoba's face.
Aoba raised his hand and caught the towel, not letting it land on his face.
Tsunade crossed her arms under her chest, narrowing her eyes at him, and a dangerous aura started to spread through the office.
"Sorry," Aoba returned the towel to Tsunade.
"If I ever hear that kind of talk again, I'll shove my foot right into your mouth!", Tsunade said viciously, while also shaking her jade-like feet.
Was that a threat?
Or a reward?
"Absolutely won't happen again!", Aoba promised solemnly.
"Alright, you just came back from a mission, go take a rest first."
Tsunade waved her hand, issuing an order to leave. She didn't want to see Aoba's annoying face for now.
"Okay," Aoba handed back the Sealing Technique Book to Tsunade. He had already memorized everything.
"What did you pick?", Tsunade asked instinctively.
"Spirit Transformation Technique and Shadow Shuriken Clone Technique!"
"What?", Tsunade froze.
"I plan to give these two jutsu to Tenten and Sakura, that should be fine, right?", He had this idea for a long time. Now that Tsunade brought it up, it was a good time to say it.
Tsunade came back to her senses, looking at him with a complicated expression, "You're pretty generous, huh."
"If teacher doesn't agree, then I won't give them," Aoba was also decisive. He could give them after he became Hokage anyway.
"You want to give them, could I even stop you?", Tsunade couldn't help but stretch lazily, her beautiful figure fully revealed.
"But this will count against your credit this time. Only allowed to give them, not to anyone else. Got it?"
"Hmm? Then what about the massage earlier…", Aoba was a bit surprised.
"Hah!", Tsunade rolled her eyes at him again, "That was your teacher giving you a punishment for being outrageously disrespectful."
"Really? Then please, teacher, make sure to punish me more from now on," Aoba bowed solemnly.
"Get out already!"
"Then I'm going, teacher, see you tonight," Aoba immediately ran out.
It wasn't until the main door closed that Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.
"Sometimes being too attractive… isn't a good thing either…"
'Now Aoba is full of youthful vigor. It is normal for him to be attracted to me.'
'But…'
'I am Aoba's teacher!' [T/N: That's the neat part]
———
Leaving the Hokage building, not in the mood to cook, Aoba just went to find a restaurant alone and ate a little something before returning.
When he got back to the Senju ancestral home, Kasui was already out sun-drying the bedding.
After entering the house, Kasui changed into a kimono, wore wooden clogs, and also had short, dark-colored socks on her feet.
"Aoba, have you had lunch yet?", Kasui asked with a gentle smile, "If you haven't, you can eat at home."
"I've already eaten," Aoba declined politely, then asked in confusion, "Is Karin not home?"
"She's probably still out on a mission and hasn't come back. I haven't seen her since I got back either," Kasui replied softly.
"I see, then I'll go rest first. Goodbye, Aunt Kasui."
"Mm, goodbye, Aoba!"
After exchanging greetings, Kasui continued beating the bedding, while Aoba entered the house and headed toward his bedroom.
He currently had fifty million ryo, just enough to upgrade the system.
But when he entered his bedroom, he immediately went silent…
What did he see?
At this moment, the blanket on his bed was bulging, and he could hear steady breathing from the room.
'Which little kitten has snuck into my room to sleep?'
Aoba tiptoed closer.
Even before seeing the person, he already knew who it was.
Because there were casually thrown clothes on the blanket, clothes that had been taken off.
Aside from him, only four people had keys to his house.
Tsunade, Shizune, Uzuki Yugao, and Kasui.
Kasui often came over to help clean the house.
Anyway, there wasn't anything shameful or particularly valuable in his house.
So he just gave her a key.
And the one lying on the bed now was Karin, who had used Kasui's key to sneak into his home.
He walked over and looked at her sleeping face.
Karin seemed to be in a deep sleep, breathing evenly, but had a silly smile on her face.
She was probably having a sweet dream, her drool was about to drip onto his pillow.
Her whole body was now wrapped up in the blanket, only a small head sticking out.
Her red long hair was a bit messy.
Most of it was pressed under her head, but quite a bit covered her forehead, with a few strands even slipping into her soft pink lips.
Aoba helplessly shook his head and helped pull the hair out of her mouth.
But just this simple movement made sleeping Karin furrow her brow.
A few seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes.
Though her face still looked dazed, the familiar scent had already entered her nose.
"Aoba-nii?"
"Am I dreaming?"
Karin instinctively thought she was still dreaming and reached out to pinch his face.
Aoba pulled his head back and then pinched her cheek.
It was very soft, bouncy, and smooth, felt like you could squeeze water out with just a little more pressure.
So he pinched a little harder.
"Still dreaming?"
"Ouch~", Karin became teary-eyed.
