After Yugito Nii and Yoruha left the Raikage's office, A stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the two figures below. He had just finished asking Killer B in detail about what had happened. A, who was smiling moments ago, now wore a serious expression. "I didn't expect Konoha's strength to have grown to such an extent. If Yoruha's power surpasses that of the First Hokage, doesn't that mean he could single-handedly destroy our entire Hidden Cloud Village?"
"If Tsunade ever harbors any thoughts of destroying the Hidden Cloud Village, I'm afraid no one here could stop him," Killer B pondered aloud. "But Yoruha probably wouldn't do that, right? Otherwise, the Fifth Hokage wouldn't have sent him to help us." A sighed, "Let's hope so. We must maintain a good relationship with Yoruha. I think he and Yugito Nii are quite compatible. If they could be together, it would be a safeguard for our village."
Killer B was taken aback, questioning, "But isn't there quite an age gap between them?" A shook his head, "Just a little over ten years, it's nothing significant." Killer B thought for a moment and said, "But if Yugito Nii really gets together with him, we would lose a tailed beast. Is that really okay?"
A replied, "Compared to his friendship, a tailed beast is nothing. Besides, the Two-Tails isn't that powerful. As long as they can be together, it would at least ensure our village's safety for a long time." Killer B didn't argue further, agreeing with A's perspective.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yoruha and Yugito Nii had left the Raikage's building and were walking down the street. The architecture in the Hidden Cloud Village was quite different from Konoha, with more tall buildings and better street construction, being the wealthiest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. As they walked, Yugito Nii remained silent, and Yoruha, walking beside her, also said nothing.
When they reached a restaurant, Yugito Nii, without a word, pulled Yoruha inside. Yoruha was bewildered, not resisting as she led him in.
Even after Yugito Nii had ordered, Yoruha remained in a daze. He hadn't expected the usually aloof Yugito Nii to be so bold. Of course, he didn't mind; perhaps it was due to his preferences or something else.
He felt nothing for Tanako Hon and Ino Yamanaka, seeing them merely as little girls. However, upon meeting Yugito Nii for the second time, Yoruha found himself quite fond of her.
Given that Yoruha's mental age was already that of an adult, it wasn't surprising that he had no interest in little girls. As they sat across from each other, Yoruha looked at Yugito Nii and asked, "Do you come here often?" It was an attempt to break the silence.
Yugito Nii remained silent, but after sitting down, she looked up at Yoruha. "You're that kid from four years ago, right?" Yoruha stared at her, speechless for a long time. Yugito Nii smirked, "No need to be so tense. You were young back then; I'm not mad."
Yoruha breathed a sigh of relief. Awkwardness enveloped him; what was supposed to be a pleasant meal now left Yoruha feeling uneasy.
Yugito Nii leaned on the table with both hands, looking at Yoruha. "You seem nervous?" Yoruha forced a smile, wondering if he had been outsmarted by this woman.
"Nervous about what? I already said I'm not angry." "I didn't expect that after a few years, you'd become the strongest ninja in Konoha Village. Then again, even a few years ago, your strength was already enough to suppress me."
"Back then, your abilities were probably already at the level of a top-tier ninja in Konoha." "And this time, you saved me again." Yoruha remained silent, quietly listening to Yugito Nii speak.
After a long pause, Yugito Nii asked, "What do you think of me?" The sudden shift from discussing strength to this question left Yoruha in a long silence once more. He couldn't understand Yugito Nii's train of thought. What was she trying to do?
Fortunately, the food arrived at that moment. Sipping his juice, Yoruha avoided looking at Yugito Nii. In truth, he was quite flustered, and it had nothing to do with strength.
It was because he genuinely had feelings for Yugito Nii. In front of beauties like Tanako Hon, Ino Yamanaka, and Tsunade, he felt no panic, not even a hint of emotion. But with Yugito Nii, it was different.
He truly felt that her every glance and gesture affected him. Seeing Yoruha's demeanor, Yugito Nii smiled, "Is my question that hard to answer?" Yoruha remained silent.
He continued sipping his juice, finishing the entire glass in no time. Yugito Nii laughed and asked, "Do you want a refill?"
Yoruha shook his head, finally looking up at Yugito Nii. "Why are you asking me this kind of question?" Yugito Nii replied bluntly, "Because I like you." "Isn't there a plot like this in those novels? ... You saved my life, so I must repay you with my own." Yoruha was a bit speechless. "You know that's just a novel, right?" Yugito Nii's lips curled into a smile. "In reality, I think the same way. You're so outstanding, of course, I want to seize the opportunity. So, what do you think of me?"
Yoruha originally intended to refuse directly, but seeing Yugito Nii's face, he nodded, "You're great." "Then would you be willing to be with me?" Yoruha's mouth twitched slightly. "Isn't this a bit too fast?"
But Yugito Nii said, "What's fast about it? I think it's too slow. How old are you this year?" Yoruha thought for a moment and said, "I'll be 18 in a few months." Yugito Nii said, "I'm 29 this year, about 12 years older than you. You don't mind, do you?"
Yoruha shook his head. "No, a 12-year age difference isn't much to me." Not to mention, Yoruha had countless techniques to keep her youthful. Yugito Nii said, "Then it's settled. We're together now. Do you need to report this to the village?"
Yoruha, unlike his indifference towards Tanako Hon and Ino Yamanaka, was very certain now. "I just need to inform the Hokage. But aren't you moving too fast? Don't you think it's quick for us to be together after only meeting twice?" Yugito Nii shook her head. "What's fast about it? I thought I'd spend my life alone, but after meeting you twice, I don't feel any aversion. Since you've seen all of me, you have to take responsibility. Will you?"
Yugito Nii leaned forward, supporting herself on the table, getting close to Yoruha. Her scent was intoxicating. Other women had similar fragrances, but Yoruha never paid attention to them because he wasn't interested.
But Yugito Nii's scent, he could clearly distinguish.
