In the lounge, silent silence dominates the space.
Shiraishi sat on the seat in the lounge, racking his brains and thinking about what to do next.
He looked towards the entrance of the women's bathhouse. It had been at least ten minutes since Liuli entered there.
But, so far... nothing has happened.
No matter from which angle he thought about it, Shiraishi felt that this matter was unusual.
Whether it was the explosion or the horrific scene of the fire burying the entire hot spring, revealing such a scene would make Shiraishi feel at ease.
What happened inside?
Could it be said that Ayane has already left first?
After all, he deliberately spoke loudly before, just to remind Ayane, who was still soaking in the hot spring, to be ready to escape.
If this is the case, it is not difficult to imagine the reason why it is so quiet inside...
But Shiraishi always felt that things were not that simple.
Fidgeting in his seat, Shiraishi held the unopened milk in his hand. He didn't drink it, but just held it in his hand.
It was precisely because of this unusual silence that he felt uneasy.
Twenty minutes later, footsteps were heard from the entrance of the women's bath. Shiraishi looked up and saw Ruri and Ayane walking out of it wearing only pure white yukata.
Huh?
How is this going?
Why didn't they start a fight?
This is not normal.
"The hot springs here are so comfortable. My shoulders have been sore recently, but they feel much better now."
Ayane came to the lounge and stretched out lazily. Her heavy and fruity shape was highlighted in her white yukata.
It’s no wonder that I say my shoulders are sore. With such plump fruits, it’s quite normal to feel sore shoulders.
Even in battle, her strength may be affected by her large breasts.
"Who told you to always eat so much? The extra portion you have is completely unnecessary."
Ruri glanced at Ayane's breasts and made this to-the-point comment.
"I also find it very strange. The growth momentum was not so fierce before. Maybe it is really related to my food intake."
Ayane also seriously thought about whether her breasts being too large among her peers had something to do with her huge appetite.
There was no room for Shiraishi to interrupt at all. Ruri and Ayane were going back and forth there, communicating like close friends, making Shiraishi almost think that the scene in front of him was an illusion.
Could it be that he fell into Liuli's illusion without knowing it?
After all, he knew that Ruri's genjutsu would not necessarily be released through the Sharingan.
Rather, from the beginning, Ruri's illusions were not released through the Sharingan.
But... After Liuli came back, there was no contact, and it was impossible for the illusion to control him for such a long time without being detected.
"Um, are you two... okay in there?"
At this time, Shiraishi couldn't help but ask.
"What can we do inside, Shiraishi-kun, you are very strange."
No, the weird thing is you two. Shiraishi could only answer this in his stomach.
Although it is a bit incredible, there must be something wrong with the dreamy scene in front of me of them getting along like close sisters.
"Not only that, we are also rubbing each other's backs inside. Those are snow-white and smooth back muscles."
Ayane pointed her finger at her chin and smiled meaningfully at Shiraishi.
"Is this, like this?"
Shiraishi opened the cap of the bottle of milk in his hand and took a sip to calm his shock and reduce the heat in his heart.
Ayane must have deliberately made the scene so alluring, giving people a sense of fantasy and desire.
And Shiraishi did think in that direction.
The restless body in adolescence is really troublesome.
"Okay, after taking a dip in the hot springs, I'm almost leaving."
After drinking a bottle of refrigerated milk in the lounge, Ayane felt more comfortable and prepared to go back inside and change into clothes.
"Won't you stay for lunch?"
Liuli naturally invited Ayane.
"No, there are still a lot of things to do in the clan."
Ayane walked inside, and after a few minutes, she changed into her kimono-style ninja outfit again.
"Then, I'll take my leave now and let's play together again when we have the chance."
"I'll give it to you."
Bai Shi took the initiative to step forward and said.
"Don't bother me. I'm not a child. I know the way back. Shiraishi-kun, your work is more important."
Rejecting Shiraishi's proposal, Ayane left without any further delay and closed the door before leaving.
The last excuse to escape is gone.
This is a bad woman who dumps a man when she is satisfied and does not want to take any responsibility at all.
It seems that next time she should know who is on top.
He is becoming increasingly disobedient to discipline.
"How long are you going to stay here? The research on celestial magic has not been completed yet, right?"
Liuli's cold words sounded behind him.
"Yes, yes, there is still a part that has not been completed, but most of it has been completed. Well, Liuli, didn't you come to me for something and asked me to wait for you here?"
Shiraishi scratched his head.
Forget it, let's apologize seriously.
After all, it was always my own fault.
As long as she takes the initiative to bear all her mistakes, Liuli will definitely forgive herself.
Because Shiraishi is already familiar with this kind of thing and can form an instinctive reaction without thinking.
"If you think about it carefully, it's not a particularly important thing. Just help me get some tools to suppress the flow of chakra. The three rookie genin in the team are too weak in taijutsu. I need to give them some special training."
"Is this the only thing?"
"Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
Seeing Shiraishi's unnatural movements and eyes darting around, Liuli asked in a calm tone.
"I thought it was with Ayane..."
"What does it have to do with Ayane?"
"Ah, no, it doesn't matter anyway. Then I'll go to work. I can get the props you want today. I'll give them to you tomorrow morning."
There are three genin in Ruri's team, which means that he only needs to make three items that can greatly inhibit the flow of chakra.
Seeing that Liuli did not mention Ayane's matter again, although Shiraishi felt strange, he thought it was better not to disturb her at this time.
Until we were some distance away from the hot spring, we didn't hear any movement from behind.
No, something is very wrong.
This is not Liuli at all.
Whether it was fire escape or brute force destruction, why was there no movement at all?
This is really not in line with Liuli's character.
At this time, even if there is a little movement, Shiraishi can feel much more at ease.
However, there is no movement now, which is the biggest abnormality.
There must be some special reason here that I don't know about.
After all, what did Ruri and Ayane do in the hot spring pool?
Just rubbing each other's backs like close sisters?
In fact, the relationship between the two of them...isn't as bad as I thought?
With this worried mood, Shiraishi returned to the laboratory. He was a little absent-minded during the afternoon experiments, and his thoughts were all on Liuli.
What on earth was she thinking?
◎
the other side.
Ayane, who was walking back to the Hyuga clan, also had a frown on her face.
What's going on? Why didn't that Sharingan woman do anything to him?
Recalling the scene where she and she rubbed each other's backs in the hot spring pool, Ayane's frown deepened.
This is not normal.
Whether it was the relationship in the ninja school or the relationship between himself and the Sharingan woman after joining Sakumo's team, there had never been such intimacy.
What is going on in her mind?
Why didn't you take action at that time?
I was obviously ready to fight at that time, but...
For some reason, Ayane felt that the Sharingan woman was more difficult to deal with than before.
Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of city government.
"Where have you been, Ayane?"
At the entrance of the road to the Hyuga clan's territory, a male ninja wearing the traditional costume of the Hyuga clan stood there, waiting for Ayane to return.
"Senior Dongjian, why are you here?"
Ayane was a little dissatisfied when her meditation was interrupted, but a gentle smile appeared on her face.
He also responded politely to the male jounin of the Hyuga clan in front of him, with impeccable and perfect etiquette. He was neither too close nor too distant, and had an attitude of aloofness.
It was precisely because of this feeling of uncertainty that Hinata Touma felt that no one in the Hyuga clan was more terrifying than the girl in front of her who was under twenty years old.
"You disappeared from this morning for a total of two and a half hours. Where did you go?"
Fuyuma knew that if he wanted to dominate the conversation with Ayane, he couldn't just respond to her questions.
"Although I also want to answer this question from Senior Fuyuma, this is a confidential mission assigned to me by Mr. Rizu, so..."
Ayane looked embarrassed and sincerely apologized to Fuyuma.
"...You should know your responsibilities."
"This is what Mr. Nizu allowed."
Seeing that Ayane used Nizu as a shield again, she knew that this matter would eventually go unsolved.
Because what she is doing now does not touch the bottom line of the Hyuga clan, even the elders will only give a few words of instruction at most and will not take any practical actions.
Such precious combat power was easily destroyed, which was also a huge loss for the Hyuga clan.
Anyway, with the caged bird as a restriction, the elders won't care about trivial matters.
"Senior Dongjian, if there is nothing else, I will go and work first."
Prepare to jump past the winter room.
"You'd better not let me catch you."
"The handle? What handle? Senior Dongjian, you are very strange."
"You can't fool anyone, but you can't fool my eyes. Every move you make is under my surveillance."
"Senior Fuyuma...you are indeed a very strange person."
Really, it's so troublesome.
Although I don't mind working with such a person, Ayane feels that she will be bored if flies are buzzing in her ears all day long.
I really want to quickly swat this fly buzzing in my ears to death.
◎
The dinner also ended in a calm atmosphere.
Liuli's eyes, complexion, and behavior were all the same as usual.
This also made Shiraishi more certain that Liuli's normality at the moment was the biggest manifestation of abnormality.
I thought that by dinner time, I would be baptized by Liuli's anger, but it still passed calmly, and Shiraishi became increasingly uneasy.
This uneasiness was not caused by Liuli not showing the anger he should have, but because there was a sudden unspeakable debt in his heart.
"I've already made the props you want."
"knew."
"How does it feel to lead genin on a mission?"
"No special feeling."
"When performing tasks, it's better to be careful. Just like you this time, the client lied about the task level."
"I know, I won't act on impulse."
It was a very ordinary exchange, and Liuli just answered with her usual expression.
Shiraishi was a little absent-minded while eating. In the end, he couldn't help his curiosity and asked Liuli: "Liuli, do you really have nothing to ask me? For example, what happened when Ayane came here this morning..."
"Why are you asking? You are too sensitive. Isn't it normal for friends to come see you?"
If you really think so, Shiraishi will feel better.
"Okay, I'm full."
Liuli left this sentence and walked out of the door before Baishi could speak again.
It was already very late at this time, and the sky outside was getting dark. That place was not where the bedroom was, it seemed to be the training ground.
Shiraishi finished his meal in a hurry and had no time to clean it up, because compared to this kind of thing, Liuli's current state worried him more.
When I went to the training ground to find Liuli, I saw her practicing physical skills on wooden stakes there.
Liuli's strength was very heavy. The wooden stakes here were harder than ordinary training wooden stakes, but every punch would leave shocking cracks on the wooden stakes.
Did you really start venting here?
The calm posture during the day and before were all pretended to be wronged.
After all, it is impossible for a proud person like her to show her weakness to anyone.
Shiraishi sighed inwardly.
"Liu Li, I..."
At this time, it’s better to face it head on.
You cannot avoid this aspect with a vague attitude.
What answered him was Liuli's sudden fierce fist.
The thick murderous aura that hit his face made all the hairs on Bai Shi's body stand up.
He knew that he would definitely not be Liuli's opponent in battle, but the difference in the powerful aura flowing from her body was wider than he imagined.
In order to respond to Liuli, Shiraishi had no choice but to mobilize natural energy.
Although there was no gap in defense, for someone who was good at breaking through the enemy's defense line from the front, Liuli didn't need to use any trickery to expose the enemy's flaws, but simply crushed him from the front.
Like a violent storm, the never-ending continuous attacks only lasted for half a minute, and Shiraishi was already out of breath.
Liuli was wearing a jet-black tight-fitting outfit, with long hair as black as night flying in the wind. At this moment, she fell from mid-air, and her fists with protective gloves directly made a 'rumbling' sound on the ground.
The atmosphere exploded and the buzzing sound in the ears lasted for a long time before it ended.
Shiraishi glanced at the huge hole made by Liuli's punch, with cold sweat on his face.
Are you going to kill yourself?
If you were hit by a fist like that, no matter how hard your body is, it would be too much for you.
"Where are you looking? You dare to be distracted here while you are fighting me."
A cold voice came from behind.
Oops!
Shiraishi turned around, crossed his arms in front of him, and made direct contact with Liuli's fist.
boom!
His body flew out and collided hard with the wall surrounding the training ground, leaving a hole in the wall. Shiraishi sat down on the ground with some exhaustion, breathing heavily.
Liuli came to Shiraishi, fiddled with the long black hair beside her ears in a natural movement, and then put one hand on her hips, with an expression on her face that seemed very dissatisfied.
"You have become weaker. You were not this weak a year ago. This level cannot satisfy my passion for fighting."
"I can't help it. I have been focusing on research for more than a year. I have only trained a handful of times, and since I haven't done anything with anyone, my body's strength and speed are inevitably a bit sluggish."
Bai Shi is very open-minded and no longer clings to Liu Li from behind like before.
Liuli stared at his face, sighed, and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
Shiraishi also extended his hand. It was the same scene when he was in the ninja school.
As the defeated person, Liuli always pulls him up from the ground in this posture and pursues her figure from behind.
But this time, he would not let this figure go away from him.
The palms of the two people began to meet, and Liuli was about to pull Baishi up from the ground. Unexpectedly, Baishi used more force to make her fall forward with a little unsteadiness.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Liuli still looked a little overwhelmed.
"What are you doing-"
Liuli's voice was stuck in her throat and she couldn't express it.
Because her lips were blocked, all the remaining words were swallowed back into her stomach.
Seemingly understanding what this was, Liuli struggled to get out of Shiraishi's arms.
However, her resistance was met with Shiraishi's tight embrace.
Gradually, Liuli felt that she had forgotten everything, what it felt like to be kissed for the first time.
Sweet and very green taste.
The movements also changed from being jerky at first to becoming more proficient.
The body was getting hotter and hotter, and I felt that all the worries and grievances during the day were greatly released and satisfied at the moment of being kissed.
The black tight-fitting ninja outfit on Liuli's body was very thin, especially highlighting her slender figure, and her whole body exuded a kind of wonderful beauty.
Tenderness of limbs.
body temperature.
odor.
"idiot……"
After letting go, Liuli cursed lightly.
But I don't know why, although I was satisfied because of the previous kiss, this state was more like an empty sense of satisfaction.
It's true that I haven't been satisfied yet.
This bastard!
"Sorry, I didn't mean to force you."
"I know. Anyway, if you force me, I won't be able to resist."
Baishi smiled softly when he heard Liuli's very awkward words at the moment.
"Yes, I forced you to do this."
Shiraishi confirmed this again.
Take all the blame on yourself.
This is a mistake you have made, and you must be brave enough to bear it.
Knowing that Liuli during the day had only restrained her impulses very much, she did not burst out.
This has never happened before.
If it were the previous Liuli, he would have spit out fire and burned him and Ayane to ashes.
This is all because Liuli cares about his feelings.
Otherwise, she would not be the kind of person who would let herself bear the grievances alone.
She has never been such a compromised person.
This is where Shiraishi feels owed and guilty.
"Are you still angry?"
"A little……"
"Do you want to continue?"
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter what I say, you won't do what I say."
Liuli felt that her mood at this moment had become extremely complicated. She obviously wanted to resist this kind of thing, but her body always made its own judgment and allowed this man who was good at lying to control everything.
Looking forward to what happens next.
Looking forward to what will happen after today.
I hope it will stay like this for a long time in the future.
How strange. Liuli felt her heart beating very fast.
It is much more intense than when the Sharingan is turned on.
I always feel like I am less and less like myself.
Is this... love?
Will those who have fallen in love be like this, compromising with each other?
Both parties are in perfect harmony with each other.
Or is this just possessiveness in the name of 'power'?
No matter what it is, it seems like I want to enjoy it all.
Even though she knew that the man beneath her was full of lies, she still couldn't help but harbor fantasies about him that actually didn't exist at all - this man would only treat her like this.
Because as long as you think about it this way, something called 'love' or 'possessiveness' is a feeling of happiness that constantly emerges from your heart.
…
Something important was taken from both sides.
As proof of being dominated by each other.
The so-called 'love' means each other becoming each other's things. At this moment, both Shiraishi and Liuli had this profound understanding.
after an hour--
Liuli sat alone on the grass, touching her lips with her fingers, showing a faint and sweet smile.
The taste and feeling are so satisfying and filling.
A wonderful feeling that I have never had before, a firmness that I don't want to lose and protect this 'love' no matter what.
Therefore, she still needs to pursue stronger power to protect this thing.
This unprecedented will is as firm as the thought of protecting one's parents.
No matter who or what existence they are, if they dare to harm us, let them all die!
Shiraishi has already gone back alone, and she will stay here alone for a while.
Not only because the relationship with Shiraishi was further established, but also because of a sense of accomplishment like defeating an old enemy.
She wanted to be alone to reflect on the sense of accomplishment brought by defeating her old enemy.
And this sense of accomplishment can only be experienced by herself.
Because Shiraishi's actions were all expected by her, but she didn't expect that the so-called 'love' was more wonderful and sweet than she imagined.
Let her forget herself and indulge in it.
"Hyuga Ayane, you lost this battle..."
The three magatama Sharingan began to bloom, facing the full moon in the night sky, emitting a gentle light as pure and beautiful as a ruby.
The evil and coldness disappeared.
