Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Brother Qingye, why don't you pinch it a little longer?"

"Ok?"

Baiyun Qingye was slightly taken aback.

Karin blushed and said shyly, "I read in a book that if you could grow more... maybe you could grow even bigger."

"But I've tried it myself and it didn't work, so I can only rely on you, Brother Qingye."

"..."

Bai Yunqingye was a little stunned, but he had said this to Jingyin before.

It seems that Silent has indeed improved somewhat.

It might actually work.

Thinking this way, he followed Karin's advice.

After experiencing it all, it's not entirely without merit; the feel is actually quite good.

-

"Okay, we're home now."

Shirokumo Aoba stopped in front of Karin's house and spoke to Karin, who had been lying in wait behind him the whole way.

"Hmm~"

Karin responded in a barely audible voice, then jumped off Shirokumo Aoba's back and ran home without saying a word.

He kept his head down the whole time.

Baiyun Qingye glanced at the closed door, then at her own hands, and fell into deep thought.

The back of my clothes looks wet too, is it sweat?

click-

The sound of another door opening brought Bai Yunqingye back to her senses, and she subconsciously put her hands behind her back.

"Aunt Kaho."

Shirakumo Aoba greeted Uzumaki Kaho with a smile as she walked out of the house.

"Is Karin alright?"

"Regarding this issue..."

Kaho Uzumaki, who had just come out, was also slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then smiled and said, "I was just about to ask you that."

"what happened?"

Bai Yunqingye asked in confusion.

Kaho Uzumaki touched her lower lip with her index finger and frowned as she said, "I'm not quite sure either. As soon as that girl came back, she rushed to her room, then took her clothes and went into the bathroom. She wouldn't say what happened when I asked her."

"This……"

Shirokumo Aoba thought about it and realized that his back was soaked with sweat, so it was normal for Karin to be in a hurry to take a shower when she got back.

"Aoba, has something happened?"

Seeing Shirakumo Aoba's reaction, Uzumaki Kaho immediately looked at him suspiciously.

"Uh...it's nothing, just a small matter."

Baiyun Qingye scratched his head awkwardly. How could he possibly tell the girl's parents about something like this?

We can't just say that Karin was pinched by him... right?

"I see..."

Kaho Uzumaki's suspicions hadn't completely dissipated, so she tentatively asked, "So, did today's date go well? Did Karin cause you any trouble?"

"of course not."

Bai Yun Qingye replied decisively, "In other words, our relationship has taken another step forward."

Go a step further?

Kaho Uzumaki pondered those words carefully.

Aoba and Karin are already a couple, and they're inseparable, always wanting to be together. So how can they take things to the next level?

Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes suddenly widened.

Is it...

There's probably only one thing that can take a couple's relationship to the next level, right?

She thought of the secret conversations she usually shared with Xiyan and Xiaonan.

Aoba's abilities seem exceptionally strong; even when the group of them attacked together, they were no match for her.

Kaho Uzumaki's shocked expression quickly turned into shyness, her face turning bright red.

"Aoba... Karin is still young, and there are some things that are inconvenient for her. If you really want to... actually... actually..."

Kaho Uzumaki blushed, unable to utter a word.

"Ahem! Aunt Kaho, you've misunderstood."

Baiyun Qingye knew from the other party's reaction that there must be some misunderstanding, so she quickly spoke up to explain.

“We did not do that kind of thing.”

"Huh? Is...is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Kaho Uzumaki realized that she might have misunderstood, and felt somewhat ashamed, her face turning even redder.

Bai Yun Qingye couldn't help but glance at the other person a few more times, seeing their shy appearance.

Although I've gotten used to seeing Mikoto Uchiha shy lately, it's clear that different wives express shyness in different ways.

For example, Sai, even if he is shy, will deliberately pretend that he is not shy and will tease him instead. When Uchiha Mikoto is shy, she will directly reach out and pinch his face to cover up her shy feelings.

But Kaho Uzumaki's shy and bashful appearance is exactly the same as Karin's.

She appears somewhat well-behaved and cute.

Looking at this lady who bore a striking resemblance to Karin, Shirakumo Aoba subconsciously reached out to brush aside the red strands of hair hanging in front of her, then stroked her hair, making a serious promise.

"Auntie Kaho, don't worry, I would never do anything to hurt Karin or you."

"Green...green leaves..."

Kaho Uzumaki stared blankly at him, momentarily lost in thought.

When she came to her senses, she felt her face getting even hotter.

Bai Yun Qingye also withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly, unsure of what to do with it for a moment.

"Aunt Kaho, I'll head back now."

After saying that, without waiting for Kaho Uzumaki to react, Aoba Shirakumo awkwardly walked towards her home.

What embarrassed him wasn't something like touching Kaho Uzumaki's hair, but rather...

This hand just now...

In short, he needed to go back and wash his hands before Kaho Uzumaki could react.

Kaho Uzumaki remained standing in the same spot, gently stroking her still-soft cheeks, staring blankly at Aoba Shirakumo's disappearing figure.

"Does Aoba also... ouch!"

As she pondered these thoughts, a gust of cold wind interrupted her, pulling her out of her reverie.

Then he shook his head, patted his face, and sighed with a touch of melancholy.

Aoba must have found it hard to accept either, otherwise why would he have left so decisively?

Yes, she is a mother of one child.

Ok?

Kaho Uzumaki, who was still feeling melancholy, suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. She then sniffed the hair in front of her and couldn't help but frown.

She knew perfectly well that the smell wasn't there before she left the house.

It seems somewhat familiar...

Kaho Uzumaki sniffed carefully again, countless images flashing through her mind.

Ultimately, it settled on the appearance of Karin.

It smelled somewhat like Karin's scent, but it was also strange, though I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange about it.

"Never mind, it can't be anything bad anyway."

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, he had no choice but to turn around and go back inside.

"Hmm~"

I had just stepped into the living room when I heard my daughter humming a song while taking a shower in the bathroom.

"Is this girl really that happy...?"

Kaho Uzumaki shook her head and chuckled, but a little bit of envy lingered in her heart.

She walked to the bathroom door, looked at the clothes the other person had casually tossed into the laundry basket, picked them up, and headed towards the washing machine.

"Karin, I'll take these clothes of yours to the washing machine first."

"okay."

Karin stopped humming and responded with a sound of agreement.

"Uh-huh?"

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped.

She seemed to smell that strange odor again, so she took the clothes that Xianglin had changed out of from the laundry basket and began to examine them one by one.
