Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 144: Fire in the Harem, a Blessing

The wind is very noisy tonight.

Hyuga Yuzuru sat on the promenade, wearing a bathrobe, enjoying the cool breeze and admiring the moon alone.

Faintly, he could hear the occasional splashing sound of water in the hot spring in the bathroom behind him. He looked straight ahead, restrained his vision, and kept his heart as calm as water.

I dare not look, nor listen.

Just because if he guessed correctly, it would be better for him to know nothing about the conversation in the hot spring.

And the fact was just as he thought. At this moment, the only person who could have a conversation between Hinata Kaoru and Uchiha Izumi who were still in the hot spring was Hinata Yuzuru.

Hinata Xun, with her black hair tied into a bun at the back of her head and only two strands of long hair hanging naturally on her forehead, naturally supported herself on the stone platform beside the hot spring with one hand. Her fair skin had a pink hue because of the hot spring water, and the water waves were bright and just level with her collarbone. Her slender fingers were as delicate as white jade, gently touching the water waves.

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've been alone with you, Koizumi."

Hinata Kaoru's voice was gentle, with a slight smile on her face. What could be vaguely seen under the water was her lazily crossed legs. Looking from the undulating water, they looked like two jagged pieces of white jade. It is in sharp contrast with the hot spring bottom paved with black stone.

Opposite her, Uchiha Izumi had her short hair tied into a small ponytail and a white bath towel folded into a square on her childish head. She was sitting obediently by the hot spring. Her usually cool, simple, and makeup-free fair face had two spots of pink on her cheeks. Her eyes were comfortably narrowed, but the black pupils in her eye sockets reflected the faint moonlight.

"Yes." She answered simply, looking at Hinata Kaoru's skin, her eyes stagnated slightly, and then she unconsciously looked at her hands.

Years of career and hard training in the Anbu, coupled with some secondary ideas of "sealing the heart and locking up love" during her growth period, made her a little negligent in managing herself. In comparison, her skin looked a little rough at this moment.

There were cocoon marks on the tiger's mouth due to frequent sword practice, and a few faint scars on the skin that could not be ignored. Uchiha Izumi sat down silently and buried his body in the hot spring.

"Ara~ It seems that yesterday Xiaoquan was a child who didn't understand anything, but today's Quan is already a beautiful beauty~
No wonder Yuzuru-sama agreed to go out on a date with you, I really want to go out with you, Izumi~"

Hinata Xun was not at all surprised by her simple answer. She just smiled and spoke lazily.

Uchiha Izumi had a calm expression: "As long as Lord Yuzuru gets off work, I can rest as well. If Sister Xiaoxun wants to go out and play together, we can do that after get off work.

It's just that I don't know how to talk, and I'm not interesting. If you go out with me, there won't be anything interesting. "

"Really? But I saw that Yuzuru-sama seemed quite happy after dating you~" Hinata Kaoru didn't seem jealous at all, or anything like that. She just looked curious and tilted her head: "What did you do that day?"

Uchiha Izumi simply said in a tone like he was reporting a task: "We went to a barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue, bought some clothes, ate a lot of snacks, then went shopping, sat in the park and chatted for a while, and then went home."

But Hinata Kaoru's face was full of envy when he heard it: "Really? It seems that Yuzuru-sama hasn't gone shopping with me yet. Every time I want to buy clothes, I don't know if he likes it."

"Xiaoxun looks good in anything she wears." Uchiha Izumi said sincerely, "After being in the Anbu for so long, I don't know what kind of clothes girls in Konoha should wear now."

Hinata Kaoru smiled and said: "How could it be possible? The lipstick Izumi used last time was the best-selling one in Konoha."

Lipstick?

Uchiha Izumi didn't react for a moment how she knew what lipstick he used that day. His eyes, which had been squinting, widened slightly, and his mouth opened slightly. He looked at Hinata Kaoru thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he put on a faint smile.

Her smile looked so happy that it made Hinata Xun's hand under the hot spring unconsciously clench into a fist, and then loosen it.

"Really?" Uchiha Izumi didn't intend to say anything more about it.

Hinata Xun looked at her lazily, her white pupils reflecting the ripples in her half-open almond-shaped eyes: "Be careful next time, Master Yuzuru has to meet a lot of people. If someone sees you with lipstick on your lips, it won't have a good impact."

"I recommend using the lipstick from the beauty shop in the north of the village. It looks good, tastes great, and is not easy to stain. Even if it is stained, there will be no trace after licking it." The smile on Hinata Kaoru's face did not change, and The smile on Izumi Uchiha's face faded, and he returned to his calm look.

She supported her hands on the edge of the pool, leaned on the stone platform, tilted her head, and stared quietly at Hinata Kaoru who was sitting opposite her with her phoenix eyes. Her posture seemed quite domineering, but she still had the bath towel on her head, which looked out of place and somewhat cute. However, she had a mature and calm expression on her face, which looked very natural.

"So this is what a kiss is like.
Next time, I will remember it, but I usually ask the clerk to recommend it to me. If Xiaoxun knows this very well, she can go shopping with me, and maybe I can buy the one that Yuzuru likes. "Uchiha Izumi looked very serious when he spoke, but the address changed from Yuzuru-sama to Yuzuru.

Hinata Xun could hear this subtle change. She put down her white arm that was supporting her face and put it into the water. She curled up in the hot spring. The water pressed to her chin. The corners of her pink mouth curled up slightly. She whispered, "Okay."

Uchiha Izumi nodded, and the conversation ended. The two looked at each other from both sides of the hot spring, and no one could see any sign of the other's losing their temper.

After waiting for a while, Hinata Kaoru smiled and said: "After all, I know Yuzuru-sama so well."

Uchiha Izumi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hinata Kaoru with a rare serious expression. He looked up at the starry sky for a while before lowering his eyes: "Yes. You really know Yuzuru very well."

Hinata Kaoru smiled slightly.

"Then tell me about Yuzuru, what kind of girl does he like?" Uchiha Izumi said calmly, but Hinata Kaoru suddenly became silent.

If I knew what kind of girl he liked, wouldn't I have become like that a long time ago! ?

"I don't know. He seems to like pretty girls." Hinata Xun said, sticking out her tongue playfully: "Don't say this to Yuzuru-sama."

"Yeah." Uchiha Izumi nodded, actually agreeing with her point of view. After a while, he smiled and said, "That's good."

The two fell into silence again.

After a while, Izumi Uchiha sat up, and there was a sound of splashing water. She picked up the bath towel, put it on her body, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm done washing."

"Really? I want to soak in it for a while longer. This is a rare hot spring water." Hinata Xun said with a smile, and Izumi nodded: "Well, I'll go change clothes first."

Hinata Kaoru nodded, and then saw her tall figure wrapped in a bath towel walking towards the changing room.

After a while, there was only one person left in the hot spring. Hinata Kaoru raised his head and looked at the night sky expressionlessly. After a long time, he let out a soft and slightly impatient sigh, and retreated into the hot spring, with the water on his lips, vaguely. Clear, read softly.

"It's obviously me."

Annoying guy.

Obviously, I am the only one who has been with the young master all these years and has followed him unswervingly.

She snorted, and punched twice in the water, as if she had let out all her anger. She stood up, and water droplets spread across her body and dripped down. She stroked them casually, as if she had thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Master Yuzuru still accepts me and I still have my place, she will never be able to drive me away.

In terms of patience and persistence, Hinata Kaoru doesn't think he will lose to the stubbornness of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, even though the other party did not show his emotion
Hum hum, I have been mentally prepared for many years, how can you beat my heartbeat!

But when Hinata Xun stepped out of the bathroom door, his expression changed.

Under the moonlight, beside the corridor, Uchiha Izumi's pretty face was pink, her bathrobe slipped slightly off her shoulders, she leaned against Hinata Yuzuru's side, her lips slightly parted, and she was slowly raising her head from the side of Hinata Yuzuru's face.

".Thank you, Xun. Just like you said, I licked it gently. This time, there is no lipstick mark."

You just took a shower and didn’t put on lipstick, right?
Surprisingly, Hinata Xun's first reaction was to find the loophole in her words, and then, he tightly fastened the hem of his bathrobe with his fingers, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"Master Yuzuru?"

Hinata Yuzuru's eyes widened slightly: "It's not you who asked her to..."

He turned his head and looked at Uchiha Izumi, who was just taking off the ponytail on his head, shaking his short hair, and looking at Hinata Kaoru calmly: "I just said that you told me the correct way to kiss, but it seems that you didn't express it clearly, so Yuzuru misunderstood."

Hinata Xun was so smart that he understood why this woman was able to succeed in the sneak attack with just one sentence - to deceive and sneak attack the simple and lustful Master Yuzuru, is this okay? This is not good!
How did I teach you how to kiss properly? I just told you to be damned of your lipstick
Hinata Xun didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed loudly. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes."

She stepped forward and walked to the man who looked innocent at the moment, but was full of bad feelings in her heart. She laughed and put her arms around his waist: "I didn't see how you kissed me, but it doesn't matter. , Looks good, this is Master Yuzuru, um, Master Yuzuru taught me slowly."

She leaned forward without hesitation, and Hinata Yuzuru, who had no way to show favoritism, acted as a demonstration tool, and under Uchiha Izumi's breathless death gaze, his lips pressed against hers. Under the moonlight, at the edge of the corridor, Uchiha Izumi watched everything happening in front of him at a very close distance, silently, and his three views were greatly shocked.

Hello! ?

I'm avoiding people! ?
After a long while, the voice disappeared, and Hinata Yuzuru wiped his mouth calmly: "Okay, take a rest, we have to go back to Konoha tomorrow."

Amid the strange gazes of the two girls, he looked calm, swiftly opened the door of the master bedroom, pushed it open, and slammed it shut. After a while, he also slammed the window shut.

The two girls looked at me, and I looked at you, and there was a strange hatred in their eyes.

Not
Do you really refuse anything?

If you have the guts, why don't you close the door? ? Let's see how long you can act dumb and act like a wooden stake!
Uchiha Izumi held his hands in front of him, his brows gradually furrowed, while Hinata Kaoru pursed his lips, and was actually a little happy: "Good night."

"Him?" Uchiha Izumi didn't know if she was under an illusion. She never expected it to unfold like this. How could Hyuga Yuzuru, who just gently accepted her kiss, be so open in front of her?
Is that too much?
Hinata Xun paused, turned his head to look at her, and said with a satisfied look: "Sir Yuzuru once promised me that he would not abandon me.

I won't give up either.

I don't even care if I get to marry Yuzuru-sama.

As long as I can be with him like this forever, that would be fine.

泉.
In fact, it would be better to give up earlier. "

She smiled slightly and went to her room, leaving the shocked Izumi Uchiha standing there blankly.

After a while, Uchiha Izumi breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually became serious.

broken.

The people being fought over and the targets of the fight are not normal people.
give up! ?
how could it be possible.
As the initial shock and sadness subsided, she gradually figured out why Hinata Yuzuru did this.

Her face gradually turned cold for a long time. She knocked lightly on the wooden pillar beside the corridor in frustration and walked to the window of the master bedroom.

He reached out and knocked gently on the window.

Inside, Hinata Yuzuru's voice came: "What's wrong?"

"Don't think I will give up just because you use this method," Uchiha Izumi said, with a hint of anger on his usually calm face: "I'm serious!"

After a while, Hinata Yuzuru's low and calm voice came from inside: "This will be difficult and tiring, Izumi."

"So what? It's better than regretting after losing it, right?" Uchiha Izumi stared angrily at the vague figure in the window. It was not until the other party opened the window that she spoke to Hinata Yuzuru with emotion, which was rare: "I'm not joking, nor have I thought it through, nor am I carrying any unrealistic fantasies. I know what I'm doing and what I want, so."

She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Hinata Yuzuru's calm face for a while, and then punched him hard on the shoulder: "Don't underestimate me, stupid Yuzuru!"

Seeing the angry yet serious look of the girl in front of him, Hinata Yuzuru stared at her face, and after a long time, nodded.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed the white palm that she had not moved away from her shoulder, and gently rubbed the calluses on her lips: "Yes."

Uchiha Izumi then let out a heavy breath, with a depressed look on his face and a low tone: "Kiss me."

Hinata Yuzuru thought about it and leaned forward, but she grabbed his collar and wouldn't let go. She kissed him fiercely and roughly for a long time, until her hand ran to hug his back. Hinata Yuzuru's hand gently stroked her short hair and back.

Seeing Uchiha Izumi looking up with a satisfied look on his face, his eyes regaining their usual gentleness, Hinata Yuzuru spoke cautiously: "But you still have to be mentally prepared."

This dog man.

Uchiha Izumi rarely rolled his eyes. For the first time, he realized that he still had such a side. He laughed angrily: "I know!!!"

"Anyway"

"Don't do this to deliberately make me angry next time."

"very sad."

She bumped her head hard against Yuzuru's shoulder, then let go of her hand, stood up straight outside the window, breathed a sigh of relief, and regained her composure: "I like you, Yuzuru."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at her and smiled slowly: "Yes."

Seeing that the other party was motionless, he thought seriously for a long time, and finally gave a definite answer.

"Me too."

Uchiha Izumi's face then blossomed into a bright smile, and he looked at him tenderly for a long time before reaching out and grabbing the window: "Good night, Mr. Hokage."

"Good night, Miss Anbu Ninja who committed insubordination."

Hinata Yuzuru cooperated with her and gently closed the window.

She muttered to herself before the window closed.

“I learned all this from you.”

Well.
Hinata Yuzuru was speechless.

Back in the room, half lying on the bed, Hinata Yuzuru raised his face thoughtfully.

The process was unexpected, and the result was also unexpected
But anyway.

A fire in the harem may be a blessing in disguise.

After going through this difficult night, I will probably be able to face the two of them with a more relaxed attitude in the days that follow.

This is also the reason why Hinata Yuzuru specially brought them both out together.

Even though the way it was used was a bit bad
But if not, how can we make them realize the seriousness of the problem?

Instead of weaving a cobweb of beautiful dreams that they can't extricate themselves from, and then letting them see clearly the dangerous predicament they are trapped in, they can only be trapped in it and be unable to extricate themselves and suffer.

As a sincere bad man, he felt that it would be better to let them know from the beginning how sad they would be if they fell in love with a guy who was not loyal enough. If they could accept it, they could talk about other things. If they couldn't accept it, it was better than wasting someone's life.

However, when Quan and Xun both accepted the fact and faced this "cruel" scene, they insisted on their choices unswervingly.

The pressure came to Hinata Yuzuru.

broken.

How should I respond to these two intentions?
He tossed and turned until dawn, when he was forced to stop.

Matters of the heart have to be put on hold for now.

Just because, from today on, he will officially return to Konoha and prepare to take office as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

And today, he will personally open the curtain of a new world.
