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

The air conditioner was on, and it was much warmer as soon as I came in.

Baiyun Qingye glanced around and found that the living room was very clean. There were two sets of wine sets, many different kinds of wine, and several dishes of snacks on the table by the window. There were also two chairs next to the table.

It's clear they had been preparing for the two of them to drink together for a long time.

The door behind me slammed shut.

He turned around again, looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who still had a sour face, and couldn't help but laugh again.

"why are you laughing?"

Kurenai glared at him with an unfriendly expression, wishing she could slap the smug smile off his face.

"Because I think Sister Hong is very cute now."

As Baiyun Qingye spoke, she suddenly reached out and slipped her hand between her hair and neck, gently stroking the back of her neck.

Kurenai suddenly stiffened, and the cold expression on her face instantly melted away.

"Wh...what's cute? You're the elder here, aren't you?"

Although Kurenai felt extremely ashamed, she did not resist and let him do as he pleased.

"Can't elders be called cute?"

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile, then raised her other hand, brushed aside the slightly curly hair beside the other person's face, gently stroked the delicate and smooth skin, and moved closer again.

"Sister Hong, are we a couple now?"

Kurenai was already very shy, and with Aoba Shirakumo's unintentional teasing, she, a female ninja with almost zero emotional experience, was a little out of her depth.

He could only nod vaguely in acknowledgment, "Mmm..."

Then she felt herself being pulled into an embrace, and her lips were captured by his. This kiss seemed even more passionate than the last one.

After noticing that Kurenai was having trouble breathing, Shirokumo Aoba let her go.

But her eyes were already misty, and her breath was sweet as orchids.

"how do you feel?"

"It's... just so-so."

Kurenai instinctively wanted to answer truthfully, but she quickly realized that she had to maintain her dignity as an elder.

How can you be happy just because of a kiss?

"is it?"

Baiyun Qingye cradled Xi Ri Hong's slightly round, pretty face and asked again, "How long have you been waiting?"

Kurenai Yuhi remembered what the other person had said earlier about not hearing it, and her expression immediately turned serious. She pouted and said unhappily, "I didn't wait for you."

"really?"

Baiyun Qingye immediately showed a disappointed and hurt expression.

"You bastard..."

Kurenai could tell at a glance that this guy was acting, but his acting was so good that it softened her hardened heart again.

She glared at Bai Yunqingye resentfully, then took a deep breath, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, pressing herself against his chest, and said softly.

"-afternoon……"

"what?"

Bai Yun Qingye blinked, but her expression quickly became somewhat distorted again, "Hiss..."

Kurenai pinched the soft flesh on his lower back hard, then said, "I said, I've been waiting for you all afternoon, you little rascal. I cleaned the room, prepared the wine, and even took a shower. Did you hear me this time?"

"I heard you clearly, Sister Hong, please have mercy."

Baiyun Qingye hurriedly begged for mercy.

Even if it doesn't hurt, they'll pretend it does; they've got the emotional value figured out perfectly.

"Hmph!" Kurenai Yuhi snorted coldly, letting go of the flesh on his waist.

Baiyun Qingye smiled again, "Actually, I've been thinking about meeting you, Sister Hong, tonight."

"Liar!"

Kurenai Yuhi directly refuted his statement.

"what?"

Shirokumo Aoba was stunned, while Yuhi Kurenai continued speaking.

"You must be having a blast dating Tian Tian and the others, right?"

"Ah, this..."

Shirokumo Aoba blinked. He had originally intended to say a few sweet words, but Yuhi Kurenai wasn't buying it at all, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Kurenai-neechan, would you like a drink?"

"......."

Kurenai stared at him for a while, intending to take this opportunity to give him another good scolding, but after thinking about it, she gave up on the idea.

He pulled him to the table by the window and sat him down. He picked up the wine bottle, filled two glasses, and then drank his glass in one gulp.

"Drinking so fast, aren't you afraid of choking again?"

Just as Shirokumo Aoba picked up her wine glass, she saw Yuhi Kurenai already pouring her second glass.

"The alcohol content of today's liquor is not high, so it won't make you choke."

Despite saying that, Kurenai clearly drank her second cup much slower.

Bai Yunqingye was slightly taken aback, took a sip herself, and found that the alcohol content was indeed very low. She couldn't help but worry, "Will I not be able to get drunk tonight?"

Hearing the worry in her voice, Kurenai couldn't help but tremble. "You wouldn't be thinking of doing something to me while I'm drunk, would you?"

"Of course, we'll do some things that couples do. I've already told Sister Xiyan and the others that I'm not going home tonight."

Baiyun Qingye looked completely at ease.

"you!"

Even Kurenai choked on her food.

This guy, last time he knew to be more tactful and didn't say it directly.

Did she reveal her true colors after confirming the relationship?

He really is a scumbag!

"Hmph! You might be the one who gets drunk and passes out first, and then I'll have to take care of you when you're drunk and acting crazy."

Kurenai Yuhi said dismissively.

Bai Yun Qingye took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then, Sister Hong, how about we have a drinking contest?"

Kurenai was taken aback. "A drinking contest?"

Baiyun Qingye nodded and explained the rules, "Let's see who can hold their liquor better. Whoever gets drunk first can do whatever they want to the loser tonight, but they can't be angry the next day."

"Do whatever you want?"

Kurenai muttered to herself. To be honest, she was terrified by the bet. What if she really got drunk? Would she end up like... the next day?

However, she quickly made a decision, believing that she was second to none when it came to drinking capacity.

Although she had never seen Bai Yunqingye drunk, that was because he always drank only a little and never got drunk.

"Then let's have a competition!"

-

Time flies when you're having a drinking contest.

When the last glass of wine was finished, Kurenai's face was flushed with the effects of alcohol. She looked at the empty wine bottles on the table and at Shirakumo Aoba, whose face showed no signs of drunkenness.

She panicked a little.

"Would you like...some more?"

She has a pretty good alcohol tolerance; she's never really gotten drunk in all these years of drinking.

But the guy in front of me drinks like he's drinking water.

"Sister Hong, can you still drink? I feel like if you drink any more, you'll probably get drunk. I guess I'll win this competition then?"

A faint smile graced Baiyun Qingye's face, her eyes brimming with confidence.

"Of course I can drink it, but my stomach is a little bloated right now, I need to go to the restroom first."

Yuhiko stubbornly insisted, then got up and staggered toward the bathroom.

Bai Yun Qingye smiled helplessly as she watched the other person's flustered figure. Logically speaking, the other person going to the bathroom at this time was already considered cheating.

However, he didn't seem to care, and instead squinted his eyes contentedly.

Kurenai's temporary departure brought a brief silence to the living room.

The only sound was the ticking of the wall clock.

And in the restrooms...

Hmm, the soundproofing in this room doesn't seem to be very good.

Kurenai stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and after the sound of water stopped, she didn't come out for a full five minutes.

However, instead of sitting down in his own seat, he stood directly next to Baiyun Qingye.

Baiyun Qingye opened her eyes, looking at Xi Ri Kurenai in front of her with confusion, "Kurenai-neechan, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the world before him was turned upside down.

He was thrown hard onto the sofa, and was completely dazed by the impact.

Kurenai pursed her lips, then drew the curtains again, before walking step by step to Shirokumo Aoba, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Bai Yun Qingye couldn't help but swallow hard. "Sister Hong, it's just a match. You're not going to be a sore loser, are you?"

"Humph!"

Kurenai Yuhi just looked at him with a flushed face, then snorted coldly.
