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

Of course, they're all serious matters.

It includes various kinds of food, live-action fighting games, live-action CS, and various amusement park facilities, etc.

If it weren't for the lack of time, he would have liked to write a script and play a live-action role-playing game.

Even Kurenai Yuhi was shocked. Only Yakumo Kurama had the ability to freely control the illusionary world and create such an immersive experience.

"Yakumo-kun, that's all for today."

The illusion has been dispelled, and less than an hour has passed in the outside world.

Baiyun Qingye never expected that the flow of time would be different.

Kurama Yakumo hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Aoba, can we play together again next time?"

Bai Yun Qingye readily agreed, "Of course, no problem. I'll come here to see you every day at this time from now on."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Kurama immediately smiled.

"Ok!"

-

The next day, Kurama Yakumo's parents, along with Kurenai Yuhi, took Kurama Yakumo to visit Tsunade.

As for what the two sides exchanged, Shirokumo Aoba had no idea.

However, he did watch the treatment process from the sidelines, and it can only be said that Tsunade truly deserves to be Konoha's number one medical ninja.

Shirokumo Aoba has a long way to go to catch up with his opponent in medical ninjutsu.

After Tsunade treated Kurama Yakumo, her body still needs regular recuperation to fully recover.

And Shirokumo Aoba's life has temporarily returned to normal.

Every afternoon after taking Tenten and the other three home, she would return to school and play various games with Kurama Yakumo in the illusion world.

He can be described as a master of time management.

After his body gradually recovered, Yakumo Kurama was full of energy.

That boundless energy was sometimes so great that even the white clouds and green leaves couldn't keep up.

And because this semester is about to end, she plans to rejoin the Ninja Academy next semester as a transfer student.

And so, time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Chapter 104 Ritual

12 month 30 day.

As the year draws to a close, the day that everyone in Konoha has been eagerly anticipating is about to arrive.

Konoha Village is already very lively today because preparations for the New Year's festival have been underway for a full month in advance.

Inside the library.

There wasn't a single book in there; the whole world seemed to be covered by a white curtain, with snowflakes falling gently like feathers filling the sky.

In this spotless world, there are three small dots.

Kurama Yakumo and Shirokumo Aoba sat in the snowy landscape, with a carefully crafted snowman in front of them.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Aoba, I heard there's a festival tomorrow night..."

"Hmm." Shirokumo Aoba nodded. "It will be held on Hokage Rock. I heard there will be lots of snacks, games, and fireworks. And preparations have been underway for a month."

"Huh? They started preparing a month ago? I had no idea." Kurama Yakumo was somewhat surprised.

"Are you going?" Bai Yunqingye asked.

Kurama Yakumo's face involuntarily flushed red. "Is Aoba going?"

“I’ve already made plans to go with my friends. If Yakumo is going too, he can come with us.”

Shirakumo Aoba extended an invitation to Kurama Yakumo.

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Kurama's heart trembled, followed by a sense of loss.

Her preparations seemed too late.

"No...no need, Aoba, you can play with your friends. I'm going with my parents tomorrow."

Although she refused, the disappointment in her eyes was hard to hide.

She only wanted to go with Bai Yun Qingye.

But now it seems that Baiyun Qingye had already made plans with his other friends.

She couldn't possibly ask the other person to abandon their friends and go with her; that would be too selfish.

That's true. Aoba is such a good person, he must have a lot of good friends at school.

Maybe a lot of girls will like him.

For some reason, thinking about this made Yakumo Kurama feel a little sour.

Perhaps it's because Baiyun Qingye is her only friend, but she is just one of Baiyun Qingye's many friends, and not even the best one.

Since they had only known each other for a month, they didn't have many memories together or a special relationship. In Aoba's eyes, she was probably not as important as his friends at school.

This feeling of inequality suddenly made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.

Just as her thoughts were wandering freely, she suddenly shuddered.

A hand patted her head, and she turned to look, meeting Bai Yunqingye's gentle gaze.

"Yakumo, don't underestimate yourself. Although we've only known each other for a month, you're already a very important and irreplaceable friend to me."

"Really?" Kurama Yakumo asked instinctively.

"Of course! You are special!"

Baiyun Qingye rubbed the other person's head again.

Touching heads can be very addictive, especially when it's several girls' heads, each with a different feel.

In an instant, Yakumo Kurama's previously flustered heart calmed down.

Within the illusion space, the raging wind and snow gradually subsided.

"Would you like to come to the festival with me?" Shirokumo Aoba invited again.

Kurama Yakumo smiled, but still shook his head. "Let's skip it this time. When I enroll next year, Aoba can introduce your friend to me."

"it is good."

-

They parted ways at the entrance of the Kurama clan's territory.

Baiyun Qingye returned home.

The scene before him left him speechless.

At this moment, Tsunade was dressed in a green yukata, looking elegant and graceful. Her originally flowing twin tails were now pinned up at the back of her head by a delicate hairpin.

Feeling somewhat exhausted, I leaned back on the sofa and watched TV.

Although she appears somewhat languid, she exudes an air of dignified elegance.

Baiyun and Qingye were both stunned.

a long time.

Tsunade, who was on the sofa, suddenly turned her head to look at him. "What are you doing standing at the door?"

Bai Yun Qingye snapped out of her daze and calmly walked over. "Teacher, why did you change your style today?"

Tsunade's expression turned somewhat helpless. "This is what I'll wear to the festival tomorrow. Shizune insisted on dragging me to buy it. I didn't gamble all day, and I walked around all day. I'm almost dying of discomfort."

"It seems that Shizune-neechan is really looking forward to the festival," Shirokumo Aoba said sincerely.

"Aoba, you're back!"

A surprised and quiet voice came from behind, and Baiyun Qingye looked over.

The other person was also wearing the same style of black yukata as Tsunade, and walked out of the bedroom.

only……

They're the same style, just different colors, but compared to Tsunade, they're completely different styles.

If Tsunade's attire gave him a dignified and elegant impression, then Shizune was like a cute and innocent girl next door.

Soon, Shirokumo Aoba discovered the reason.

This is a story of heartbreak.

"Aoba, how does my sister look in this yukata?"

Shizune spread her arms and spun around in front of the two of them.

"I think it looks great, and it suits Sister Shizune perfectly."

Although the styles are different, they each have their own unique charm.

"That's good. I spent a long time choosing with Lady Tsunade." Shizune's smile became even brighter.

"Oh, right, I bought one for you too, Aoba!"

Shizune ran back to the bedroom, took out a plain-colored bathrobe, and stuffed it into Shirokumo Aoba's arms.

"Give it a try!"

"Okay." Baiyun Qingye took the bathrobe and walked towards the bedroom.

"and many more."

Shizune smiled and asked, "Do you need your older sister to help you get dressed?"
