Aoba returned to his ho.
"I'm back!"
"Welco back!" ×2
"Uh…"
Uzuki Yugao and Terumi i both spoke at the sa ti. Aoba's brain blanked for a mont when he saw the two of them.
"You two are…", At this mont, Yugao and Terumi i were both wearing aprons, busily bustling around in the kitchen together.
"I thought it wouldn't be good to let Yugao handle everything alone, so I ca to help her prepare dinner."
"This… well, that's thoughtful of you," Looking at Yugao's cold, frosty expression, Aoba felt that with Terumi i's help, she might actually be having a harder ti.
"Aoba, you just sit for now. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Alright!", Aoba sat down beside the dining table, waiting for the food to be served.
Originally, he just wanted to quietly wait and not pay attention to the two, but he kept hearing the clanging sounds coming from the kitchen from ti to ti.
And seeing the two flustered and clumsy, he walked into the kitchen and pulled Terumi i out.
Otherwise, dinner probably wouldn't happen tonight.
Sure enough, without Terumi i causing trouble, dinner was quickly completed.

[After Dinner]
Feeling that she only made things worse, Terumi i once again took the initiative to do the dishwashing.
Only Yugao and Aoba were left in the living room.
"Yugao-nee, have you forgotten sothing recently?", Aoba started the conversation.
"Hmm? Forgotten what?", Yugao paused.
Aoba showed a helpless expression.
"The Chunin Exams are coming up soon."
Konoha's Chunin Exams are held twice a year, and the timing is fairly fixed.
"Eh?", Yugao gasped lightly, blinked her beautiful eyes, and finally rembered those three pitiful ones she had forgotten.
She had originally planned to give Tenten and the others special training, but lately, her mind had been wandering constantly.
And then she forgot.
She also rembered the reason for her recent absentmindedness, and her pretty face involuntarily flushed red again.
This cute look made Aoba unable to resist poking her cheek, and he said with a smile.
"That's why I think, Yugao-nee, it's better if you go ahead and give Tenten and the others so training."
"Then starting tomorrow, until the Chunin Exams begin, I'll give them special training," When Yugao said this, there was a trace of disappointnt in her tone.
Because if she had to give Tenten and the others special training, then she wouldn't be able to enjoy herself at night anymore.
If she did, she definitely wouldn't be able to get up the next morning.
"Tenten and Karin will co to my place tomorrow," Aoba added.
"Don't you still have missions?", Yugao asked curiously.
Aoba explained the group plan that he and the girls had arranged, combining mission work with training.
Yugao listened and nodded seriously, "That's definitely necessary."
Aoba looked speechless, 'Am I really that untrustworthy?' [T/N: Asks the boy with 8 girlfriends]
Yugao could see what he was thinking, pinched his cheeks, and said kindly, "Aoba, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that you've had too many precedents."
———
[Late at Night]
Yugao once again ca into Aoba's bedroom wearing thin pajamas.
"Yugao-nee, didn't you say you have to get up early tomorrow?"
"It's fine, let's just go light and stop before going too far."

[Land of Wind]
A remote small town.
Here, yellow sand filled the sky, the skies appeared dusky from the sandstorm.
No green could be seen in sight, and the streets were sparsely populated, this was a very desolate and run-down little town.
Such towns were common in the Land of Wind.
But in the street, there was a man wearing a straw hat, his entire body wrapped in a white robe, extrely eye-catching.
He strolled casually down the street and eventually entered a tavern.
Inside, soone had already been waiting for a long ti.
The man had pale skin, wore a beige short robe, had a purple rope belt around his waist, and a pair of golden vertical-slit pupils.
Despite this conspicuous outfit, the surrounding custors seed to treat him like air.
Rasa took off his straw hat and sat down across from the man.
"Didn't expect the Kazekage himself to co," Orochimaru smiled sinisterly as Rasa sat down.
Rasa folded his arms across his chest, his expression indifferent, "Orochimaru, if you have sothing to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Orochimaru didn't mind Rasa's cold deanor and still kept his original smile, "I heard Kazekage-sama recently did sothing big back ho."
"Hmm?", As soon as he said this, Rasa's eyes turned sharp, "Where did you hear that?"
He didn't think this man ca all the way here just to joke, 'This poisonous snake probably already got the news.'
He had just made up his mind to seize this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
And now this guy showed up...
'There are traitors in the village.'
Rasa had made a major decision to take action against Konoha at this ti.
Human power has limits. Even if he's good at gold dust manipulation, he'll still die one day. The village's strength was slowly waning. Continuing like this would only lead to slow death.
He had to show the Daimyo the value of Sunagakure and regain the commission share that rightfully belonged to them.
Might as well take the chance while the village still had so strength and bet everything.
Orochimaru smiled, "Kazekage-sama, no need to be nervous. I only heard so things. Besides, I ca this ti to propose a cooperation."
"Hm? Cooperation?", Rasa frowned, "What's your goal?"
Of course, he couldn't trust this poisonous snake. Offering goodwill without reason, he surely had ulterior motives.
"The Sharingan!", Orochimaru said it straightforwardly.
Rasa wasn't surprised. After all, this guy beca a rogue ninja because of his experints on Konoha ninjas.
Now he wanted to get his hands on Konoha's bloodline limits, nothing surprising.
If that was the goal, then perhaps cooperation was possible.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
According to Rasa's intel, after the death of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha's strongest combat power now was, naturally, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.
Next would be Jiraiya, also one of the Legendary Sannin.
Then ca Kakashi Hatake, known as the Copy Ninja.
Then the heads of the major ninja clans, and other elite shinobi.
Rasa had already submitted an application to Konoha to hold a joint Chunin Exam.
By then, he could use the exam as a cover to send his village's top combat forces, and Shukaku, into Konoha.
Konoha had always been the top village among the Five Great Ninja Villages. It had many powerful clans and far more mid-level ninjas than any other village.
Just relying on Sunagakure's strength, even if they got inside Konoha, the odds of victory were slim.
So before this, he had also secretly contacted Kumogakure.
