Upon arriving at the Konoha outpost, Yukari was filled with a sense of novelty by everything there.
Inaho and Tekka, these two guys, were a bit overly enthusiastic. Especially Tekka, he was a bit of a chatterbox, and so of the questions he asked made her feel a bit awkward.
"Sister-in-law, how did you and Shun get to know each other? He's usually cold, we all thought he'd spend his whole life with Ninjutsu scrolls."
"We t in Land of Grass."
"Sister-in-law, how did you and Shun get together then?"
This question was a bit awkward, as they had only t after she was knocked out and kidnapped by Shun, so she didn't really want to answer it.
Seeing that Shun hadn't returned yet, she said, "Tekka, could you take to Shun's room?"
"Alright, sister-in-law, please follow ."
He readily agreed, then led Yukari forward.
Entering the room, Yukari looked around. The room wasn't large, only about 16 square ters, but it was neatly arranged. A single bed was in the corner, next to a wardrobe, and a desk and chair were right beside it.
Yukari gently picked up the wooden basin and asked with a smile, "Tekka, I'd like to clean the room. Where can I get water?"
Tekka politely replied, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you. Go out the door and turn left, there's a shared well in the middle. We usually get water there."
After speaking, he led Yukari to the well.
The surrounding Uchiha clan mbers were surprised to see Tekka bringing an Uzumaki woman. Ever since Hiruzen broke the alliance, leading to Uzushiogakure's destruction, they had rarely seen Uzumaki clan mbers.
A woman in her 30s smiled and said, "Tekka, so you like older girlfriends."
Tekka said sowhat awkwardly, "Auntie Misato, please don't joke around. She's Shun's girlfriend. You shouldn't bully her."
Another woman laughed and said, "Haha, Tekka, we just think she's cute, so we chatted a bit. How could we bear to bully her?"
Although she knew the people around her were teasing her, Yukari didn't sense any malice from them. This relaxed atmosphere, on the contrary, made her a little unaccustod, so after filling a basin with water, she left with her head down.
Tekka seed to notice her unusual behavior and quickly followed her.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, they don't an any harm. Don't let their constant laughter fool you. They're actually making the best of a bad situation. Take auntie Misato, for example, her husband and son have both fallen in battle."
Yukari looked up slightly, her eyes showing so emotion, and she whispered, "I'm not angry, I'm just not used to this kind of atmosphere. Thank you, Tekka. You go on with your work. I can manage on my own."
Hearing that he was being dismissed, and thinking she was shy, Tekka nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, if you need help, you can co find again. If you can't find , you can ask auntie Misato, she's also very helpful."
"Alright, if I need anything, I'll ask her for help."
Hearing this, Tekka discreetly exited the room.
A mont later, the door was pushed open, and Shun walked in with a package. Seeing the clean and tidy room, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Imdiately after, he casually closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Seeing him lock the door as soon as he entered, Yukari, who was sitting on the chair, instinctively stood up.
He approached... she retreated. The 16-square-ter room was small, and soon she had nowhere left to go.
Yukari's upper body leaned back repeatedly, then she fell onto the bed. The soft touch of the bed made her rember sothing, and with a sudden jolt, she stood up, quickly pulling out a kunai and thrusting it forward.
Shun grabbed her arm and asked from above, "What are you trying to do?"
At the mont she was grabbed, Yukari's mind was in a turmoil, and she dared not et his gaze.
Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Shun released her arm and handed her the package.
"We just returned from the battlefield, both of us reek of sweat. Inside are clothes suitable for you. Later, I'll take you to the won's bathhouse. After you wash, you can co back by yourself, and I'll bring you lunch."
After speaking, he opened the nearby wardrobe and took out a change of clothes for himself.
"Stand up and co with to wash."
Yukari chanically stood up and followed behind him.
"I'm sorry, I was a little scared just now."
Shun reopened the door and said, "I didn't take it to heart, but you are destined to be mine, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Hearing this, Yukari's body trembled slightly, unsure if it was shyness or fear of the future, or perhaps both.
...
The front-line outpost was, after all, a military base, and many living facilities were not very convenient. It took them over a minute to reach the won's bathroom.
Looking at the large characters 'Won's Bathhouse' written on the wall in front, Shun calmly said, "I can only take you this far. Go in and wash up yourself."
Yukari nodded slightly, said "Mhm," and then walked in, clutching her clothes.
The n's bathroom was about 60 ters from the won's bathroom. After seeing her go in, Shun walked towards the n's bathhouse.
Because Yui had left so intimate marks on him last night, while cleaning these marks, he thought of that woman again, and then that thing actually hardened again. But Yui was far away and an enemy, so he thought of Yukari. As he thought, Shun felt his body grow hot.
After showering, he went to the cafeteria to get so food and brought it back to his room.
A little while later, Yukari slowly walked in, wearing the clothes he had given her. The white long-sleeved shirt, paired with a pink dress, exuded youthful vitality.
Shun smiled and said, "Supplies at the outpost have been scarce recently. I only managed to get three dishes and one soup. When we return to Konoha later, I'll take you to eat so delicious food."
Seeing his burning gaze, she shyly walked to the table and gently sat down on the chair. "It's alright, this is already very good."
Shun picked up his chopsticks and urged, "Then start eating, the food will get cold soon."
It took them over twenty minutes to finish lunch.
Yukari stood up and said, "I'll go clean up the dishes."
Shun grabbed her arm and said, "No rush, we can clean up later."
With that, he used the Body Flicker Technique to flash to the door and lock it from the inside.
Seeing him lock the door again, Yukari's heart pounded like a drum, and she said, "Don't act like this, I'm a little scared."
Shun walked over, curved his index finger, and gently traced her nose, saying, "For so people, once they et, it's like a thousand years in a single glance. So heartbeats, once they begin, are irreversible."
After speaking, he extended his arms and forcefully embraced Yukari.
Yukari's body trembled slightly, her breathing beca erratic, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz. "I am willing to beco your woman... please give so ti... I will slowly accept..."
