Aoba thought for a mont, "That'll have to wait until this Mizukage-sama gets tired of strolling around. Once we go ho, we'll have ti."
"Ah? Then how long do we have to wait?", Kurotsuchi had a troubled expression on her face.
"If you don't mind, you can stroll around with us too," Aoba gave his suggestion.
"Hmm?"
Before Kurotsuchi could reply, Tenten, Karin, and Terumi i already looked at her with ill intent.
Aoba gave an awkward smile, "After all, since you're a guest from afar, we should do our best to show our hospitality."
"Hope you really think that way," Tenten said in a chilly tone.
"Haha, it's definitely true," Aoba gave an awkward laugh.
Kurotsuchi looked at the bustling comrcial street around her and already felt a little tempted in her heart.
"Then until what ti are you planning to stroll?"
"Probably until before dinner."
"Alright then, I'll stroll with you guys. I hope you won't go back on your word," Kurotsuchi crossed her arms, showing a "can't do anything about you" expression.
And so, Kurotsuchi, who originally intended to challenge Aoba...
...ended up playing with Aoba and the others for the whole afternoon.
At first, Kurotsuchi still acted a bit reserved, but after a while, she completely opened up.
She didn't act like an outsider at all, dragging Aoba around while asking all sorts of questions.
This irritated Tenten and Karin so much that they wanted to take action several tis.
But due to the fact that she was the Tsuchikage's disciple, and fearing diplomatic issues, they kept suppressing their emotions.
Only Aoba's waist suffered.
Tenten kept pinching, and Karin kept healing.
In short, it was extrely sour and painful.
However, Kurotsuchi really had a great ti.
Compared to Iwagakure, which was full of rocks, Konoha had all kinds of fun and delicious things, erging endlessly.
It made her feel a little bit like "enjoying here, not thinking of Iwagakure."
As for Akatsuchi, he had already been sent back by Kurotsuchi to report.
Happy tis always fly by quickly.
The sun set in the west, and soon it was dusk.
"Aoba, if you dare bring us another 'sister', just wait and see!", Tenten glanced at Kurotsuchi, who was focusing on eating the three-colored dango, then glared fiercely at Aoba, giving him a soft warning.
"What are you thinking? She'll leave after the Chunin Exams," Aoba rubbed her dango(bun on the head), then waved his hand at her, "Hurry back now, or else uncle and aunt will worry."
"Hmph! It better be like that!", Tenten snorted lightly and turned around, running back to her family's ninja tool shop.
Aoba could only smile helplessly, then looked at Kurotsuchi, "Co back with now."
"Mm? Not strolling anymore?", Kurotsuchi, who had just stuffed a skewer of dango into her mouth and had cheeks puffed like a hamster, was still a bit confused.
Aoba showed a speechless expression, "Weren't you going to challenge ? I have ti now."
"Mm? Oh! There's still the challenge," Kurotsuchi, still stuffing food into her mouth, suddenly ca back to her senses.
Then she paused again, seeing the strange gazes of Aoba, Karin, and Terumi i. Her ears suddenly turned red.
Gulp!
She suddenly swallowed everything in her mouth, "Aoba, I'm going to challenge you now!"
Aoba had a strange expression. He pointed to the corner of his mouth.
"Wipe that off first."
"Huh?", Kurotsuchi was stunned for a mont and quickly wiped her mouth.
Looking at the cream on the back of her hand, her whole face got redder and redder, as if it was going to bleed.
Aoba didn't know whether to say this girl was thick-skinned or thin-skinned.
"Can I accept your challenge now?", Kurotsuchi suppressed her embarrassnt.
"Co with first. Don't cause trouble for others."
"Oh."
The four of them headed again toward the Senju ancestral ho.
Kurotsuchi still ate while walking.
It seed like she had lived too many hard days in Iwagakure.
Aoba was a bit worried that if she kept eating like this in the future, she might turn into "Sweet Potato" before Anko did.
"Kurotsuchi, why are you so eager to challenge Aoba-nii?", On the way back, Karin couldn't hold back the question she had always wanted to ask.
She could tell that Kurotsuchi was different from Terumi i. Terumi i wanted to lure Aoba to Kirigakure.
But this Kurotsuchi just wanted to have a proper fight with Aoba.
She needed to distinguish who was friend and who was foe.
Kurotsuchi swallowed the taiyaki in her mouth and said seriously, "Because I'm the Tsuchikage's disciple, and he's the Hokage's disciple."
"What does that have to do with anything?", Karin was puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi pursed her lips, "Because I want to fiercely slap Grandpa's face."
"Eh?", Karin and Terumi i were both confused when they heard that, "You don't have a good relationship with your grandfather?"
"Hmph! Of course not," Kurotsuchi snorted and said with a slightly proud expression.
"It's just that Grandpa often says the young people of Konoha are amazing, while the young people of Iwagakure are useless. I'm not convinced."
"So if I beat the Hokage's disciple, I can slap his face and prove that the young people of Iwagakure are just as good."
"I see," Karin was moved by Kurotsuchi's great ambition.
At least it was better than a certain future Mizukage who only thought about seducing ninjas from other villages.
It's just a pity that the opponent she wanted to challenge was Aoba.
Aoba wouldn't lose to anyone.
"But... in your current state, you're not quite fit for a battle, right?", Karin reminded Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi's black eyes blinked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Because of this," Karin patted Kurotsuchi's slightly bulging belly that looked like she was three months pregnant.
"Hmm?", Kurotsuchi also touched her slightly rounded belly.
She imdiately widened her eyes and looked at Aoba with dissatisfaction, "You guy are so cunning!"
"I'm cunning?", Aoba widened his eyes.
Kurotsuchi nodded, "You must be afraid of losing the match, so you deliberately made my stomach big so I wouldn't be in condition to fight." [T/N: Sus]
Upon hearing that, Aoba's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He reached out to grab the snacks in her hands.
"Then hand over all your food now. By the ti we reach the place, you'll have digested it."
"No!", Kurotsuchi instinctively protected her food.
"Hmm?", Aoba looked puzzled.
Kurotsuchi's face turned slightly red, "If I don't eat enough, I won't have the energy to fight later."
"..."
"Haha!", Terumi i couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing that, "Didn't expect that even the Tsuchikage's disciple can't resist the temptation of food."
Kurotsuchi imdiately glared fiercely at Terumi i, "Don't look down on Iwagakure ninjas!"
"Heh!", Terumi i just chuckled, "I'm not looking down on Iwagakure's ninjas. I just think you definitely aren't a match for little Aoba-nii."
"Hmph! We haven't even fought yet. How do you know I'm not a match?", Kurotsuchi snorted coldly, very unconvinced.
"Then how about we make a bet?"
