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

Chapter 390: This must be kept secret from Karin...

"At least wait until other people see you and don't associate you with Two-Tailed Fox."

"This……"

Yugito looked somewhat embarrassed, after all, she had voluntarily transformed into the Two-Tails at the Chunin Exams venue.

"I...I know."

She returned to the sofa with the cat ears, cat tail, and bell collar.

She placed it next to the kimono on the coffee table, then picked it up and walked outside.

"I'll put my things at home first and come back later."

Yukito ran back to her home with slightly cheerful steps. The surprise of having the chance to see her sisters made her feel much better.

Suddenly, I realized that Baiyun Qingye wasn't so repulsive after all.

Although he enjoys bothering her, he at least won't do anything too outrageous to her.

As for his strange hobbies, it won't hurt her anyway, so she'll just indulge him.

Standing in the bedroom, Yugito stared blankly at the kimono in her hand and the pair of cat-ear headdresses placed on top of it.

On a whim, I took off the cat ears I was wearing and put them back on.

I stood in front of the mirror and examined myself from left to right for a while.

Yukito felt that the new pair was indeed better looking than the old pair.

It's fluffy, which makes it even cuter.

"That guy's taste isn't bad... huh?"

Yugito, who had been feeling satisfied, suddenly froze, then quickly took off the cat ears from her head and threw them onto the bed.

Damn it, after spending some time with that guy, her aesthetic sense has been ruined; she's been corrupted.

Yugito slapped his face hard.

"This is all for Samui and Mabui!"

-

Why is your face so red?

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Yukito's slightly flushed cheeks and asked curiously.

Yugito stared at Shirokumo Aoba with a blank expression and resentment. "None of your business!"

"?"

"Your expression doesn't suggest that it's unrelated."

"Humph!"

Yukito stopped talking and turned her face away, but she would still glare at Shirokumo Aoba from time to time.

This made Baiyun Qingye feel a little amused. Where did you come from, little kid?

"Let's get ready to eat."

"I'll go and call Lady Kaho."

Qin got up and went to the next room.

"Karin isn't here, so Kaho-nee has been coming here to eat lately."

Xiao Nan said to Bai Yun Qingye.

"Kaho-nee?"

Baiyun Qingye was slightly taken aback.

Is there a problem?

Konan's relationship with Kaho Uzumaki has improved considerably recently, mainly because both Kaho and Nagato are from the Uzumaki clan and both have red hair, which naturally makes her feel closer to them.

"No, it's just..."

Baiyun Qingye looked puzzled. "Sister Xiaonan calls Xianghui 'Sister,' so what should I call Aunt Xianghui?"

"Just keep calling me 'Auntie' then."

"Then should I start calling Sister Xiaonan Auntie Xiaonan...?"

Baiyun Qingye said jokingly.

"Ok?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Nan, who had been all smiles, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Baiyun Qingye clearly felt the surrounding air temperature drop a few degrees, and immediately shut up.

Am I old?

Xiao Nan questioned.

"No, Sister Xiaonan looks like she's in her twenties."

Shirokumo Aoba immediately replied, while glancing at Yukito, who was secretly chuckling to herself, "Unlike Yukito, she looks like she's almost thirty."

"?"

A question mark suddenly appeared above Yugito's head, who had been secretly laughing.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Baiyun Qingye became increasingly hostile.

That bastard, if you're so capable, then don't look at her in a maid outfit and cat ears.

When Xiao Nan saw that Bai Yun Qingye suddenly turned her attention to Yugito, she couldn't help but chuckle, and her previous anger vanished instantly.

However, age is indeed a hurdle for her.

By then, Baiyun and Qingye might still be in their prime, while she will already be old and gray. She can only cherish this time now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan couldn't help but sigh again.

"Sister Xiao Nan, would you like to learn the Yin Seal?"

Baiyun Qingye naturally understood Xiaonan's thoughts.

Konan was stunned upon hearing this. "The Yin Seal is an S-rank ninjutsu developed by your teacher, isn't it?"

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as I go and plead with the teacher, she will definitely be willing to teach me."

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate, since I don't have a very close relationship with your teacher?"

Konan and Tsunade's relationship wasn't exactly good; they were only at the level of exchanging greetings when they met.

Bai Yunqingye frowned upon hearing this, "What do you mean by not having a deep relationship? You are her apprentice's wife, and you will be taking care of her in her old age."

"..."

Xiao Nan was a little unsure how to answer, but then she thought about the age difference between herself and Qing Ye, and nodded anyway.

"If there are any requests, I will try my best to fulfill them."

"I'll go see the teacher tomorrow."

Baiyun Qingye made an OK sign.

As he spoke, he glanced at Yukito beside him and caught a glimpse of anticipation in the other's eyes.

Yugito noticed his gaze and quickly turned his face away, afraid that he would see through his act.

Baiyun Qingye didn't say anything more, but felt that there was another way to adjust... cultivate Yukito.

Not long after, Kaho Uzumaki arrived.

The five of them had a lively dinner and chatted about everyday things.

When Kaho Uzumaki was about to leave, Aoba Shirakumo followed her.

"Aoba, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Kaho Uzumaki asked with a smile.

But Bai Yunqingye shook her head and then took out a gift box.

"Aunt Kaho, this is a gift I brought back from outside."

"Gift?"

Kaho Uzumaki curiously accepted the gift box and said with a smile, "A gift from Aoba is really intriguing."

"kimono!"

Baiyun Qingye gave the answer directly.

Kaho Uzumaki's first reaction was exactly the same as Mikoto Uchiha's.

He stared at Baiyun Qingye with a look of utter shock.

"Aunt Kaho..."

Seeing this, Baiyun Qingye instinctively wanted to speak up and explain.

Before she could finish explaining, Kaho Uzumaki, who seemed to have just gone through a mental storm, spoke up again.

"Although this would be very unfair to Karin..."

Kaho Uzumaki's tone was full of conflict.

"But both Karin and I were saved by Aoba. If you really have this idea, Aoba, you have to keep it a secret from Karin..."

As she spoke, she made way for Baiyun Qingye, as if inviting her inside.

"?!"

Bai Yun and Qing Ye were astonished by the beauty of nature. What did he hear?

To prevent Kaho from saying something irreversible, he quickly interrupted her.

"Aunt Xianghui, please listen to me..."

He explained the whole thing in detail, and after listening, Kaho Uzumaki stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

"Haha, so it was you who got it wrong, Aoba. You really gave Auntie a fright."

Kaho Uzumaki gave a very stiff, fake smile.

Baiyun Qingye chimed in, "Yes, I only found out today too."

"..."

A silence fell over the room.
