"A strange dicine? What kind of dicine?", Aoba's eyes widened.
He had thought it was just a simple al, but he didn't expect Uchiha Mikoto to have even prepared sothing like this?
To be honest, if she really had so ulterior motive... she wouldn't need to dr*g him at all.
As long as Uchiha Mikoto opened her mouth, he wouldn't refuse anyway.
Tsunade glanced at him, her expression playful as she said, "It's the sa dicine Shizune used before. To keep a ninja from getting too numb during long missions, it relaxes the body and stimulates the genitalia."
"How does Lady Tsunade know that?"
Shizune froze, then suddenly realized she seed to have said the wrong thing, quickly correcting herself, "I an, Lady Tsunade, how can you give such a dangerous dicine to anyone just like that?"
She had indeed used that dicine before. Its effect was pretty strong, but its side effects were also huge.
The kind that left her with a sore waist and back, lying in bed the whole day after.
Tsunade spread her hands helplessly, "I originally thought she suddenly got interested in dicine and just took one to study. After all, she's a Reanimation ninja, that dicine does nothing to her."
"...", Aoba felt a headache coming on, "This might not be ant for . Kushina was the one who took it. Maybe she suddenly got interested in pharmacology and wanted to research it herself."
He felt that Uchiha Mikoto simply wasn't the type to use such a tactic.
But, if Kushina, the idea queen, secretly did sothing behind Mikoto's back... that wasn't impossible either.
"Maybe. Anyway, whether you pay attention or not doesn't matter. That dicine is harmless to the body."
Tsunade didn't take the matter seriously at all.
Shizune was still hung up on how Tsunade knew she had used that dicine before, and as for Uchiha Mikoto, she didn't think much of it. After all, they had been together this many years.
It was still better than going outside looking for random won.
Besides, although Uchiha Mikoto falling for Aoba sounded absurd, it actually made perfect sense.
But Aoba had already been "teasing" her six years ago.
Though calling it teasing wasn't quite right. It was just that, in that kind of situation, any woman would have had so other sort of thoughts.
It was just that back then Aoba was still a brat, and Mikoto probably really did treat him as her own child.
But after Aoba returned from Roran, facing a fully grown and increasingly mature Aoba, it was completely reasonable her thoughts would shift a little.
Tsunade actually welcod the idea.
After all, if Mikoto and this brat ended up together, by the ti their relationship was made public, it wouldn't seem too bizarre.
Though she was still quite a bit older than Mikoto, she didn't have the drawback of being a widow.
Which made her feel a bit sorry for Mikoto.
Thinking of this, Tsunade's gaze toward Aoba subtly changed.
That expectant yet urging look completely confused him.
"Alright, I'll head out first."
Aoba slipped out of the Hokage's office without hesitation.
He just didn't know where to go.
He couldn't go ho for the mont either, since Uzuki Yugao and Konan were laying down rules for Yugito.
After thinking for a bit, he decided to go to Roran to visit Seramu and Sara.
It had been a while since he last went, and he could also ask Seramu when she planned to co to the Leaf.
Aoba had ntioned this matter to him before. It was considered eting the yet-unt sisters and the parents too.
After all, they would be living together in the future.
Seramu had hesitated at the ti but still agreed, saying she just needed to take care of dostic affairs first.
Now was a good ti to ask.
Just as he was about to use Flying Thunder God, soone called out to him.
"Lord Aoba, do you have a mont?"
Aoba turned his head, "Mabui?"
Mabui was standing at the door of an office.
White hair, brown skin, and a pair of long legs tightly pressed together under a hip-hugging skirt wrapped in black stockings.
Oddly enough, despite her mature-woman outfit, Mabui's face leaned a bit toward baby-faced, making her seem to have no sense of authority at all.
She also had the tanned look of a gyaru, yet her personality was gentle and obedient.
Aoba was always curious how a place like the Hidden Cloud could raise a girl like Mabui.
"Is sothing the matter?"
He was a little surprised. She rarely sought him out alone.
"Well... Yugito hasn't co these past two days. Did sothing happen?", Mabui's eyes dodged slightly. Clearly, this wasn't what she really wanted to ask.
But Aoba didn't mind. He had heard Yugito complaining last night that the two of them gossiped about her a lot.
Though she complained, she wasn't actually angry. She simply didn't understand why they were so nosy.
People were naturally drawn to gossip.
Since she asked, Aoba answered directly.
"She's not feeling well today, so she's not really fit to go out."
"Is she sick?", Mabui's expression was full of worry, her earlier nervousness temporarily gone.
A jinchuriki didn't get sick normally.
For her to be unable to go out because of her body ant sothing serious must have happened.
"Well...", Aoba thought for a mont, then spoke bluntly.
"Um... you know this. Yugito is my girlfriend, so... sothing happened last night. She got too tired, so she couldn't co today."
"Eh?", Mabui froze for a mont, then suddenly understood, and her face grew slightly red.
"So... so that's how it is. I thought Yugito was sick."
She hadn't expected them to progress that far already, 'No wonder Yugito has been smiling like an idiot the past two days.'
'So she is the first among us to beco an adult.'
'But books always said the only one who gets exhausted is the bull.'
'Guys lasting ten minutes are already impressive. Would it really leave even the Two Tails' jinchuriki unable to move?'
Mabui couldn't quite understand.
All her knowledge was from books.
"Alright, you already know Yugito's situation. You wouldn't stop just for that, right?", Aoba looked at her with a bright smile.
Mabui snapped back to her senses. Though not as flustered as before, her face was still tinged with red.
She stepped aside and bowed slightly.
"Lord Aoba, could we talk inside the office?"
"Sure."
