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

It's unclear whether it's because she received too much information or because the hot spring temperature was too high, but her face was now flushed unnaturally.

It looked like it was about to bleed.

"Well……"

As she watched, Kurotsuchi lowered her hands, which had been covering her eyes, and leaned back lazily against the edge of the hot spring pool.

Unconsciously... she found that the scene in front of her seemed to be inexplicably starting to blur.

Is it because the hot spring is too steamy?

Black Earth was thinking in a daze.

Her mind also became somewhat sluggish without her realizing it, whether it was because the hot spring was too hot or for some other reason.

His body even started to sway slightly.

"Ok?"

How is this going?

Hei Tu noticed something was wrong with his body. He suddenly felt a swelling in the tip of his nose, followed by a warm liquid flowing out of his nasal cavity.

At first, she thought it was snot, but when she looked down, she found a drop of red liquid dripping from the tip of her nose and eventually spreading on the surface of the hot spring pool.

She's...having a nosebleed?!

She immediately stood up, intending to go outside to deal with the situation, but as soon as she stood up, everything went black...

"Gurgle gurgle~"

"Oh, it seems like Heitu has fainted from soaking?"

Shirokumo Aoba, whose attention was frequently drawn to Kurotsuchi, noticed that Kurotsuchi had fallen backward.

It looked like he was dizzy and flushed from soaking in the water for too long, and then his brain went blank.

-

"Ugh~ My head feels so heavy."

He almost became the first Tsuchikage in history to drown while soaking in a hot spring.

Kurotsuchi was quickly taken to a guest room by Shirokumo Aoba, and then revived using medical ninjutsu, waking up in a daze.

Even after waking up, her brain was still a bit fuzzy, and she was somewhat unclear about what had just happened.

"woke up?"

Baiyun Qingye, who was sitting to the side, naturally heard Heitu's dazed voice.

"Ok?"

Heitu blinked, then followed the sound and saw Baiyun Qingye.

In an instant, memories of the time before she lost consciousness flooded her mind, and her pretty face flushed red again. She couldn't help but shrink back.

"You...you weren't with Mei Terumi and the others...what are you doing here? And...where is this place?"

As he spoke, Heitu seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly sat up, looking around at the completely unfamiliar environment.

"Wasn't I just soaking in a hot spring?"

Clearly, she is still unaware that she had just passed out in the hot spring.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yunqingye looked at her with a strange expression and got up to pour her a glass of warm water.

"This is a room at the hot spring inn. As for why you and I are here, it's because you fainted while soaking in the hot spring, and I'm taking care of you now."

"I've fainted?!"

Hei Tu took the water glass and took a sip, but his face still showed disbelief.

How could I possibly faint just from soaking in a hot spring?

But she thought back and realized that she seemed to have a nosebleed at the time, and then she wanted to run out to deal with it, but she had no memory of what happened after that.

Judging from this, she seems to have really fainted, and with a nosebleed flowing from her nose.

If I remember correctly, she had just...

How embarrassing!

Seeing her dazed look, Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but laugh. "Speaking of which, Jingyin and I are very curious about how you fainted. You know, you just collapsed in the hot spring."

"If I hadn't noticed you, you would probably have become the first Tsuchikage to drown while soaking in a hot spring."

"How...how should I know!"

Hei Tu felt his face flush again as he listened to the other person's teasing, and then shrank back into the quilt.

"And you really are a pervert, you were actually... staring at me while you were doing that, that's so weird!"

"..."

Baiyun Qingye was speechless at her act of turning the tables.

However, considering that this was indeed quite embarrassing for a strong-willed girl like Kurotsuchi, she didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, his examination revealed that the reason Heitu had fainted was quite complicated...

"Although there's nothing seriously wrong, you should still rest for a bit. I'll head out now."

Seeing that Heitu was only a little embarrassed to face people, Baiyun Qingye decided to let her have some time to herself.

"Are you going?"

But to everyone's surprise, Heitu immediately poked his head out from under the covers.

"Are you alright now?"

"So you're going to find Mei Terumi and the others now?"

Hei Tu ignored his question and stared intently at him.

"This one……"

Bai Yunqing couldn't help but cough lightly, "After all, the atmosphere was just so good, and then you suddenly interrupted it. I was really upset too, you know."

"I don't care!"

Heitu was a little annoyed. It was clearly her who was more upset watching from the side just now.

Then, as if his heroic spirit had been fully stacked, he leaned out of the covers, and a powerful hand grabbed Bai Yunqingye's neck, then pressed him down onto the bed.

"You're not allowed to go!"

"You've seen me make a fool of myself, now I want to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Chapter 820 Injuring three hundred enemies, but losing a thousand of your own.

"Black Soil, are you really ready?"

Baiyun Qingye originally thought that Heitu just wanted to play around with him for a while.

At most, they might just get away with a few words or put in some effort.

But I never expected it would come to this final step.

"Do you still want to go find Mei Terumi and the others?"

Black Earth still held White Cloud Green Leaf down, looking down at him with great dissatisfaction.

That's not what I meant...

"Then let's stop talking nonsense. We're getting married soon anyway, so a few more days won't make a difference!"

Kurotsuchi forcefully covered his lips with hers, interrupting him.

-

The rest is self-explanatory.

Since Heitu has so decisively launched the challenge, Baiyun Qingye will naturally have to show his true abilities as well.

However, he underestimated Heitu's competitive spirit.

Baiyun Qingye never expected that Heitu's offensive would be so fierce.

Like a robot that has been switched on, it tirelessly and arrogantly began the battle.

The result was that I ended up getting really exhausted.

Even though it was his first time experiencing such a high-level battle, he insisted on pushing himself.

In battle, he tried countless times to establish his superior position, just like when they first met. As the disciple of the Tsuchikage, he knew he was no match for Shirakumo Aoba, but he still insisted on coming to spar with Shirakumo Aoba every day.

……

……

……

-

And then when the rain stopped.

Heitu is already having difficulty moving even a single finger.

She had no strength left, so Baiyun Qingye helped her clean up and changed her into a new bathrobe.

Then we lay down in bed together.

She was covered with a thin blanket.

However, Heitu was still limp like a lump of mud. Exhausted, she could only squint her watery eyes, curled up in Baiyun Qingye's arms, and panting slightly.

However, her pretty face, which usually wore a look of disdain, now showed a hint of satisfaction in addition to obvious fatigue.

Bai Yunqingye gently embraced her, and seeing her like this, she reached out and pinched her nose.

If you did this normally, you'd probably get slapped away and receive a big eye roll.

But now, after letting out a soft "hmm," Heitu simply snuggled into his arms and made no other move.

Bai Yun Qingye naturally found it somewhat amusing and stopped teasing her.
