Land of Fire, late at night, beneath a waterfall.

Shin'yu squinted, face upturned, showering under the waterfall.
He sat cross-legged, stark naked, his lower body completely submerged in the icy spring water. The cold water cascaded over his bulging muscles, like a stream rushing through mountain rocks. Amidst the splashing water, his entire being glowed white.
Objectively speaking, his muscles weren't particularly robust or thick, but they were well-proportioned and aesthetically pleasing, just right. Each muscle contained a strong explosive force, shimmering with a faint crystalline light like jade.
"Being able to shower on a summer night is really comfortable~"
He stretched his body with a look of enjoyment, reaching out under the waterfall to scoop up a handful of spring water, watching the clear stream slip through his fingers.
After showering, he swept his wet black hair back, then dove underwater, darting to the opposite bank like a nimble fish, leaning against the shore to bask in the moonlight.
The round moon was like a wheel, and the wind was filled with intoxicating fragrance.
"Aren't you going to manage the affairs on Uchiha's side?"
The abrupt voice made Shin'yu shiver.
He immediately turned his head. On a tree branch by the shore, a graceful figure flipped down, bringing a fragrant breeze as she landed beside him.
"Did Lord Madara send you to ask me?"
Shin'yu didn't look at her. Accompanied by light footsteps, a shadow enveloped him. Uchiha Hikari had already stood behind him.
"Why do you always attribute everything to Lord Madara?" A clear, cold voice floated from above. "Although that's indeed the case."
"I don't care. We are the real Uchiha. No matter how chaotic things get over there, what does it have to do with us?"
"What about your nephew? Aren't you going to manage him either?"
"I never said Setsuna belonged to Hidden Leaf Village," Shin'yu said. "He will be one of us sooner or later."
"So you still arranged some backup plans, right?" Light asked softly.
"I suppose so," Shin'yu shrank his neck, feeling that this angle was strange.
Perhaps it was because he had been with old Madara for too long, but he wasn't used to someone standing behind him anymore.
Light didn't speak, slowly squatting down, only staring at him.
"Hey, that's not fair. I've never seen you when you're bathing," Shin'yu said with a strange expression.
"Have I ever stopped you?" Uchiha Hikari breathed softly, her bright eyes like autumn water, looking down at him.
Shin'yu raised his head. From his angle, a certain majestic presence blocked half of his night sky.
"If you say so... then I won't be polite next time."
He squeezed out a smirk, trying to make a lewd expression to scare Light away, but he wasn't really a pervert, so the expression looked a bit silly.
"Coward, you wouldn't dare." Light stared into his eyes, biting her bright red lips.
"You actually dare to look down on me. It seems I have to teach you a little... lesson..." Shin'yu suddenly froze. There was a rustling sound of undressing behind him, the friction of clothes against delicate skin, and then they fell on the grass by the shore.
He perked up his ears slightly like a meerkat.
"See? Even if I stood behind you and took off my clothes, you wouldn't dare to turn around and look," Light sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
Shin'yu felt his dignity as a man was being challenged. He raised his arm and grabbed backward, holding a cool, soft little hand in his palm.
"Eh?"
He exerted force, pulling Light entirely into the spring. With a "splash," crystal water droplets scattered.
She hadn't removed all her clothes. Her upper body still had a close-fitting camisole, and her lower body was unknown, but Shin'yu felt a touch of tenderness and softness in the cool spring water.
The cold water made her shiver. Facing Shin'yu's undisguised gaze, she blinked slightly, her pretty face suddenly flushing red. She subconsciously averted her gaze, looking at the sparkling water surface.
"Do you like me like this?" Shin'yu asked softly, his tone extremely aggressive.
"I... I..." Light's eyes darted around. Not knowing where the courage came from, she tried to meet Shin'yu's eyes. "You, if you're not interested in me, just say it. Clearly... clearly we've already done that, why are you still like a coward..."
"Coward?" Shin'yu looked at her strangely. "You've always thought of me that way?"
"Or... or what else?"
"I'm being restrained and patient, a gentleman..."
Light snorted softly. Although still sitting on Shin'yu's lap, she was still like a proud little cat. "I don't believe it."
Shin'yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, and the distance between the two suddenly closed, their breaths mingling.
"I'm not very good at taking the initiative, I only like girls who like me. Do you like me?"
"What do you think?" Light's eyes were cold and bright, like a dark orchid in the night.
Shin'yu undisguisedly scanned her whole body, his gaze touching her chest, whose lines were as soft as the ridgeline of a spring mountain, his eyebrows dancing with a smile. "If you don't dodge next, then it proves you do."
He hugged the delicate body in his arms, leaned slightly, and gently kissed Light's fair neck, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Light couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster, her eyes tightly closed throughout.
Warm breath came from her neck. In an instant, she felt as if an electric current had passed through her body, stiffening for a moment, and then, like water, she completely melted into Shin'yu's warm embrace.
The water rippled gently, and the moon shadow swayed.
Her eyes were a little blurred, and she took the initiative to wrap her arms around Shin'yu's neck, bringing her cool, soft lips to his.
Shin'yu smelled her charming fragrance, and a certain throbbing feeling flashed through his heart. His slender fingers gently stroked her smooth, jade-like back, like a slightly drunk wind. He couldn't help but close his eyes, his lips and teeth already filled with a warm and moist sensation.
After a long kiss, the two opened their eyes in unison, as if petrified, only their two hearts thumping.
The flowers and plants on the shore grew wildly, the moon fell, and the sound of cicadas seemed to accelerate a hundred times. Time slipped away from their fingertips, time changed, but the gaze of the two of them seemed to be eternal.
A hint of playfulness flashed in Light's eyes, but coupled with her flushed pretty face, it actually revealed a bit of a little fox's charm.
She gently bit Shin'yu's lip, saying vaguely:
"Idiot, I hate you."
Shin'yu said lightly, "Then bite harder."
Light slowly let go, and under the bright moonlight, a strand of crystal saliva hung on the lips of the two.
"But... I like you more," she said softly.
"Sorry," Shin'yu raised his eyes, the exquisitely carved corners of his lips tilting upward slightly, "It seems my love for you is a bit stronger."
Water splashed, and the two embraced once more.
The moonlight was clear and cold as water, and the summer evening breeze carried a hint of coolness. At this moment, it seemed... only Shin'yu's embrace was warm.
