As a pillow, Sasame was quite experienced. After noticing Mei Terumi had fallen asleep, he reached out and gently patted her back. He almost sang a lullaby. But he couldn't sing, so he didn't, lest he wake her.
Sasame's chin lightly rested on her forehead. A faint, delicate fragrance wafted from her. It must be perfume. He detected an orange scent. But it wasn't strong, rather, it was comforting. It made him want to press his face against her skin and inhale its scent to his heart's content. Of course, that would solidify his reputation as a pervert. Even though Mei Terumi currently seemed completely defenseless, she was, after all, a ninja. The slightest sound would wake her. Sasame held her close and closed his eyes.
He didn't know how much time had passed. He felt his lips were a little damp, so he woke up. What greeted him was Mei Terumi's faintly flushed face.
"How was it?" Sasame raised an eyebrow and asked.
"How was what?" Mei Terumi lowered her head, the pink having spread to her ears. "What are you talking about?"
"I was asking how you slept," Sasame lifted her chin, looking at her flustered and shy expression, and asked.
"V-very... very good." Mei Terumi knew she had misunderstood. She had thought she was caught in the act of secretly kissing him. At this thought, the blush on her face faded slightly.
"Hmm," Sasame chuckled. "Anything else?"
"No," Mei Terumi subconsciously shook her head, then her heart clenched. "You're leaving?" she asked.
"Then should I stay the night?" Sasame's eyes narrowed. "I wouldn't mind, you know."
"..." Mei Terumi quickly got up from his embrace. "You should go."
"How heartless," Sasame looked up at her. "Lady Mizukage." He emphasized the last two words. Mei Terumi immediately felt a little awkward. Sasame had helped her greatly today. And she hadn't given anything in return.
"I... I'm sorry." Mei Terumi lowered her head.
"Hmm, it seems Lady Mizukage has deeply realized her mistake," Sasame got up, walked closer to her, and asked, "How about exchanging the two and a half years you owe me entirely for maid time?"
Mei Terumi immediately looked up. The two were very close. She quickly averted her gaze. "It's... not impossible." She was already familiar with a maid's duties. But what the unknown two and a half years entailed, she wasn't sure; it might be even more troublesome. Switching them seemed like she wouldn't lose out, right?
"Alright then." Sasame said no more and vanished from her sight.
[Due to your actions, Zabuza Momochi's fate has changed. You have gained seventy points of Destiny Value.]
Not bad. After adding these seventy points, Sasame's total Destiny Value was once again nearing one thousand points. Congratulations! Once Tsunade gave birth, he could help her redeem the Wood Release talent. At that time, it would also bolster the Senju clan.
Sasame returned home; it was already dark. He opened the door and found only Shizune in the living room.
"Lady Tsunade said she was a bit tired, so she's already gone to bed," Shizune said first, without waiting for him to ask.
"Oh, oh," Sasame nodded. "Shizune-san, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm just tidying up the hospital documents," Shizune said, not stopping her work. "Have you eaten? If not, I can make you something."
"No need," Sasame waved his hand. "I'm too tired. I'm going to bed. You should get some sleep too." Mei Terumi had piqued his interest, but she was clearly not ready, so he would let her off for now.
A moment later, Shizune's face flushed crimson as she put down her documents. This was because she heard rhythmic, delightful sounds emanating from the bedroom. After several consecutive days of "training," Sasame finally decided to find something else to do.
Hokage Office.
Team 9 reunited once again. The most excited was undoubtedly Naruto Uzumaki.
"Alright! We can finally do missions again!" Without missions, he had only two things to do in Konoha Village: one, eat Ichiraku Ramen; two, train with Sasuke Uchiha. While such a life wasn't bad, it wasn't what Naruto Uzumaki wanted. He was going to be Hokage, after all.
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him, saying nothing. But in truth, his excitement was no less than Naruto Uzumaki's. Since obtaining Satori, his strength had been steadily increasing. However, he still had no clue about the Mangekyō Sharingan. It felt like something crucial was missing. Perhaps he could gain something in battle.
Hinata Hyuga was also happy, not because of the mission, but because she could go on a mission with Sasame.
"This mission is S-rank," Sasame opened a scroll. "The location is the Kusagakure gold mine in the Land of Rivers. There's a group called the Kurosuki Family who have occupied the gold mine and are forcing local villagers to mine. Our mission is to rescue the villagers."
"S-rank!" Naruto Uzumaki's face lit up with a smile. He hadn't even listened much to the mission details.
"Teacher," Sasuke Uchiha thought for a moment and asked, "Why is it S-rank? Is there anything special about this family?"
Oh no! He's actually starting to think!Sasame was a little surprised, but then he realized Sasuke's thoughts. He thought the Kurosuki family was unremarkable, not deserving of an S-rank, and wouldn't be able to showcase his strength. In short, he was worried they were too weak.
"The leader of the Kurosuki family is named Raiga Kurosuki. He was once one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," Sasame explained without hiding anything. Sasuke Uchiha's eyes brightened. Zabuza Momochi had left a deep impression on him last time. Raiga Kurosuki, also one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, must be formidable as well. He immediately became interested. "Teacher, can I fight him alone?" he asked. The sky has cleared; he's ready to go again.
"Sasuke, that's too much," Naruto Uzumaki clenched his fists. "What about me?"
"You can handle the others," Sasuke Uchiha said calmly.
"No way," Naruto Uzumaki quickly shook his head and retorted, "Who among the others is as strong as Raiga Kurosuki?"
"You know him?" Sasuke Uchiha's eyes showed suspicion.
"No," Naruto Uzumaki said righteously. "This is the first time I've heard that name." As expected of you.
"If you don't even know him, how do you know he's strong?" Sasuke Uchiha rolled his eyes. "How about I try first, and if he's strong, you can step in then?"
Naruto Uzumaki was stunned. After a moment, he nodded in approval. "A genius ninja like me should indeed make his appearance last!" This statement had a bit of Naruto Uzumaki's original flavor. But he was being tricked. Sasame twitched his lips but didn't expose him. "Alright, go prepare. Gather at the village gate in an hour."
"Yes!" The three replied in unison.
After they left, Kurenai Yuhi, who stood behind Sasame, picked up the mission scroll from the desk. She said with emotion, "Seeing these three students of yours, it makes me want to be a squad leader too."
"If you want to, go ahead," Sasame said playfully. "I won't stop you."
"Forget it, I don't have time," Kurenai Yuhi thought for a moment. "Being a squad leader would interfere with my secretary work."
"There are plenty of secretaries; it wouldn't really affect anything," Sasame tilted his head.
"No!" Kurenai Yuhi immediately said firmly. "I don't trust others; I'm afraid they won't do a good job."
"Indeed," Sasame noticed her serious expression and chuckled. "And even if they could do a good job, they wouldn't be as beautiful as you, Kurenai-san." Kurenai Yuhi was slightly startled, quite pleased by his compliment, and her lips curved.
"But aren't you afraid your little girlfriend will get angry?"
Little girlfriend?Sasame took a few seconds to realize she was referring to Ino Yamanaka.
"You can't just say things like that," he shook his head, saying earnestly, "What girlfriend? She's just my little sister." He needed to solemnly state that he was not a pedophile. Sasame's favorite was still a voluptuous beauty like Tsunade.
Kurenai Yuhi said nothing, just looked at him. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she smiled again. "You're so outstanding; those girls won't be able to resist throwing themselves at you."
"What about you?" Sasame asked, looking very interested.
"..." Kurenai Yuhi's body immediately stiffened. She subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear, her face quite flustered.
"Kurenai-san, you're not being honest," Sasame said leisurely.
"I... I still have things to do," Kurenai Yuhi fled in disarray, leaving Sasame with only a beautiful view of her back. He couldn't help but chuckle. In the end, Kurenai Yuhi was just a naive young woman. And her personality was actually somewhat similar to Uzumaki Ena's; she was quite content with the status quo.
Sasame glanced at the time. Only ten minutes had passed in an hour. He thought for a moment, then appeared at the Land of Waves Daimyō's palace.
Konan had already returned. In terms of guarding, she was very professional. So much so that Sasame found it difficult to sneak in; he could only meet Uzumaki Ena by using the Flying Thunder God Technique every time. However, time was too short, and he was here to pet the cat.
Sasame opened the door. Yugito Nii immediately became alert. After Tayuya's previous lesson, she was now exceptionally cautious. Upon seeing Sasame, she breathed a sigh of relief. In truth, she had complaints. But she didn't dare to speak them.
Sasame stepped forward and picked up the black cat. He patted her upturned bottom and asked, "What's wrong? Seeing your master, are you that unhappy?"
"Meow~" The black cat immediately let out a joyful cry. A smile appeared on her face. Sasame smiled gently. This little kitty is so well-behaved now. At least better behaved than the other cat who constantly wanted to kill its owner.
Sasame began to pet the cat. There was an art to petting a cat. Not too heavy, not too light. Of course, the location was also very important. The cat's head was the simplest. Most cats wouldn't refuse. But for cats, the most comfortable place was the belly. However, this was also the most dangerous. Cat owners often got beaten up. Therefore, it required skill. Fortunately, Sasame's technique was good, and this cat didn't refuse either.
An hour later, the black cat lay limp on the sofa. Her entire body was in a relaxed and comfortable state. Her limbs trembled slightly, her cat eyes were hazy, and her face was flushed. This showed that the cat was very satisfied with the cat owner's massage.
"Ba... bastard..." After a long while, a faint curse could be heard.
