Snake at, deer at, lamb kidneys, these were all things that were very good for boys, things that could enhance combat ability after eating.
Generally speaking... when girls feed boys these things, there are so implied anings.
'It's just that right now, why are Yugao and Shizune constantly feeding Aoba these things?'
'Could it be...'
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes gradually widened.
'It... it shouldn't be possible, right?'
'Aoba is still so young, so cute, can they really go that far?'
'And the two of them, together...'
Imagining that kind of scene, Uchiha Mikoto felt like her worldview was being impacted.
When she looked at Aoba again, her gaze had already changed sowhat.
There was so comfort, and also a bit of lancholy.
But not many people noticed her abnormality.
Yuhi Kurenai, Terumi i, and Tsunade were sitting together drinking.
Watching Tsunade slap her own chest repeatedly, and complain to Terumi i about how exhausting it was being Hokage, saying that if Aoba weren't so young, she would've already quit.
Shizune and Yugao were standing on either side of Aoba.
The few younger girls, seeing no opportunity to jump in, had gone over to Anko's side.
They were asking what things they needed to pay attention to in tomorrow's Chunin Exam.
Today was a happy day. Everyone had gathered together rarely, so they all consciously avoided topics that might spark conflict.
And sitting beside Uchiha Mikoto, Uzumaki Kasui looked at the woman who suddenly dazed out while eating, and couldn't help but show a bit of confusion.
With a concerned tone, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Uchiha Mikoto snapped out of it and shook her head with a gentle smile, "It's nothing. It's just that it's been so long since it was this lively, I got lost in thought."
Uzumaki Kasui understood imdiately upon hearing that. She had looked into the background of this Uchiha clan head.
Her husband had sacrificed himself, her eldest son defected, and she had only one young son about the sa age as her own daughter.
Rather similar to her own situation, "Actually, you can co over often too. I think Aoba would also be very happy. If there's ti, we could even go out together."
Uzumaki Kasui didn't need to work. The wealth she brought from the Uzushiogakure was enough for her and Karin to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Uchiha Mikoto also smiled and agreed, "Sure, I'll co find you when I'm not busy."
The two of them were both single mothers, so they probably had a lot of common topics.
"I'll go get so more skewers," After chatting for a while, Uchiha Mikoto got up and walked toward Aoba who was grilling skewers.
She decided to check the situation herself, what if it was all just a misunderstanding?
———
On the other side—
Aoba was grilling skewers while occasionally opening his mouth.
Welcoming the feeding of the two Onee-sans.
Kidney skewer on the left, deer at skewer on the right, his whole mouth was oily now.
Aoba felt these questionable items probably weren't bought by Tsunade, and were very likely secretly added by Shizune.
He was speechless.
'Clearly it is always they who can't hold back, so why are they so obsessed with supplenting my health?'
"I think... the ones who need supplents should be you two instead," After swallowing a piece of deer at, Aoba whispered this into their ears.
Shizune's hands paused, and she lowered her head with cheeks flushed red.
Yugao raised an eyebrow, continued feeding him, and said, "No problem. Later, Aoba, you can just accompany Shizune-san first. Co find after she's done."
"Wha... what?", Shizune suddenly lifted her head and looked at Yugao in disbelief.
If she had to face a fully-charged Aoba... she would break.
"Aoba…", Just as Shizune was thinking what to do, a mature and gentle female voice rang beside the three of them.
"Aunt Mikoto, are the skewers finished?", Aoba looked at Uchiha Mikoto who had walked up, and handed her a bunch of at skewers.
Uchiha Mikoto accepted the skewers on reflex, but she still stood in place, not leaving.
"Hm?", Aoba tilted his head in confusion.
Looking at that cute expression, Uchiha Mikoto forcefully suppressed the urge to pinch his cheeks.
She looked at the nutrient-rich skewers in the hands of Yugao and Shizune, and said with so embarrassnt, "Yugao… these kinds of things, kids shouldn't eat too much."
Yugao's expression froze slightly, her cheeks flushing pink, "It's fine, Aoba usually uses up a lot of energy. A bit of extra supplenting is no problem."
"Th-this... I see," Uchiha Mikoto glanced again at Shizune, who had a red face, and was now sure.
She didn't say more, and returned to her seat stiffly.
"Did Lady Mikoto realize it?", Shizune whispered.
"You two are so obvious, how could she not?", Aoba rolled his eyes.
Shizune's face turned even redder.
Yugao's expression didn't change much, "So what if we got found out? It's no big deal. Mikoto-san's not a gossip. Aoba, don't tell you actually have thoughts about Mikoto-san?"
"Eh? That shouldn't be possible, right?", Shizune looked shocked, "Lady Mikoto already has a kid…"
"Heh, who knows? For Aoba, that might even be a plus," Yugao sneered. [T/N: Guys, she knows too much.]
"?", Shizune widened her eyes and examined Aoba.
Aoba felt cold sweat forming on his forehead and said seriously, "How could that be! I've always seen Aunt Mikoto as my real aunt!"
Only, the doubt on their faces didn't lessen at all.
So things, once you start to suspect, the cri is already established.
But Aoba didn't explain any further. Now wasn't the right ti. So things were better talked about in bed.
Ti slowly passed.
The atmosphere grew even more cheerful.
Aoba, feeling the lively mood, suddenly had a thought.
'If only life could stay like this, no need to do ninja missions, no getting involved in dangerous events—'
'Surrounded by beautiful girls, and occasionally holding a barbecue party with good friends—'
'This kind of relaxed and cozy life feels pretty great too.'
As he thought, he suddenly rembered sothing. He picked up two grilled fish skewers and stored them with a sealing scroll.

[Night Deepened]
"Aoba, see you tomorrow!", A few girls waved goodbye to Aoba with great reluctance. Because their old dads had suddenly arrived, they had no chance to get close to Aoba.
Hiashi, Inoichi, and a few other old dads had arranged to pick up their daughters together.
After all, there were a lot of outsiders in the village lately, so this was safer.
"Aoba, good luck in the Chunin Exam. I believe you'll definitely take first place," After the girls left, Yuhi Kurenai and Anko also greeted him and departed.
