I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 116 A Girl's Feelings: I'm Here to Join This Family

Temari arrived at the door of the Yagyu family's house very quickly.

This wasn't Temari's first visit to Yagyu's house; she had visited him before when she came to ask for a mission.

"Temari?"

As luck would have it, Temari had just arrived at Yagyu's doorstep and hadn't yet composed herself enough to knock.

He ran into Yagyu, who was bored at home and was about to go out to see if he could trick Hinata into coming to his house so he could enjoy the bathroom treatment again.

Upon seeing Temari standing at the door, Yagyu was slightly taken aback and almost didn't recognize her.

"Yagyu-kun, it's been a long time."

Temari, trying to appear calm, flicked her hair and greeted Yagyu in a natural and generous manner.

"Long time no see."

Looking at Temari, whose hair had been styled into a bob, just like Android 18 from Dragon Ball, Yagyu couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in his eyes, and sincerely praised her, "Temari, this hairstyle suits you very well."

"Is...is that so?"

Temari's face flushed, and she avoided looking directly at Yagyu, saying, "I just thought the hairstyle you mentioned looked pretty good, so I tried it out."

But secretly, I was delighted. It was totally worth spending so much time on my hairstyle.

"Yes, this hairstyle suits your personality very well."

Yagyu sized up Temari, who was wearing a blue cheongsam and had a figure much better than Sakura and Karin. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, and she did not have any of the aloofness of the eldest princess of Sunagakure. His eyes were full of admiration.

Just like Samui from Kumogakure, Temari is one of the few girls who is not suited to having long hair.

She had always had short hair before, but that hairstyle was just too ugly.

So when Yagyu and Temari parted ways after Yamakaze got Tsunade's permission to go to the Land of Wind to help them create an oasis, Yamakaze suggested that Temari change her hairstyle.

Originally, I wanted to suggest that she change to a hairstyle like Samui's, but then Yagyu had a flash of inspiration and thought of Android 18's hairstyle.

That kind of bob haircut is perfect for girls with a cool and aloof temperament.

Of course, Yagyu didn't expect Temari to listen to everything he said; he was just mentioning it casually.

Now I actually saw Temari with a new hairstyle, the kind of bob he mentioned.

How could Liu Sheng not know the girl's feelings for him?

After praising him, Yagyu stepped aside and raised his hand, saying, "Come in and have a seat."

"Sorry to bother you."

Temari quickly composed herself and bowed to Yagyu.

Then, she followed Liu Sheng into the house.

While changing her shoes in the entryway, Temari saw several pairs of women's shoes, and images of Hinata and the other girls flashed through her mind.

However, when Yagyu opened the shoe cabinet and took out the shoes that had been sealed away last time, Temari blushed again, but her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

After changing his shoes, he followed Liu Sheng to the living room on the second floor.

Before Temari could reveal the purpose of her trip, she saw Yagyu scrutinizing her body once again.

Temari's heart pounded, and her face flushed again.

However, unlike Hinata who shyly lowered her head, she stood gracefully in place, tossing her hair, allowing Yagyu to admire her as she was.

Both her hairstyle and her clothes were carefully prepared.

All for the sake of gaining Yagyu's appreciation.

The girl was overjoyed and satisfied by the amazement in Liu Sheng's eyes.

At that moment, Yagyu suddenly spoke up, "Temari, besides the Three-Star Fan Wind Release technique, do you know any other Wind Release ninjutsu?"

"Yes, I will."

Temari didn't know why Yagyu asked that, but she nodded honestly nonetheless.

"Then this is for you."

Yagyu produced a white bracelet from somewhere and handed it to Temari, smiling as he said, "This is a special storage scroll used to store the Fuma Shuriken. If you're not fighting, you can use it to store your Three-Star Fan."

"Th-thank you."

Temari blushed as she accepted the bracelet, feeling both the joy of receiving a gift from someone she admired and the embarrassment of wanting to dig a hole and disappear.

Although Yagyu didn't say it explicitly, she still understood what he meant.

This outfit is beautiful, but carrying a Samsung fan on your back is a mistake.

Thinking back now, Temari felt a wave of dizziness.

She wasn't carrying the Samsung fan when she looked in the mirror.

But she always carried a fan with her, and before setting off, she made it a habit to bring one with her.

Wearing a cheongsam and carrying a fan, how could she be so silly?

Seeing Temari's face growing redder and redder, Yagyu knew perfectly well that her level of embarrassment was rapidly rising.

He quickly gestured for the girl to sit down and changed the subject, asking, "Temari, did you come here on a mission, or are you simply here for sightseeing in Konoha?"

Yagyu didn't think about Gaara being captured.

Having planted spies within the Akatsuki organization, he was impossible to miss whenever the Akatsuki made any major moves.

"That's how it is..."

Temari, whose attention had been successfully diverted, said seriously, "The appointment of the daimyo has been made. Gaara will soon succeed as the Fifth Kazekage. I am here on behalf of the Kazekage and Sunagakure to invite you, Yagyu-kun, to attend the succession ceremony."

"I see."

Yagyu suddenly realized something and said with a smile, "The Fifth Kazekage is indeed Gaara. I saw that you hadn't chosen a new Kazekage for three years, so I guessed that your higher-ups were trying to cultivate Gaara."

"Um."

Temari smiled and nodded, then teased, "Gaara asked me to tell you that he'll get there before you."

"Haha, that guy has changed so much. I really regret not taking a picture of his murderous look three years ago," Liu Sheng laughed heartily.

"Gaara back then was truly terrifying."

Temari also covered her mouth and laughed.

"When is the succession ceremony?" Yagyu asked.

"Five days later."

"Since I'm on vacation now, let's go take a look."

Yagyu stood up, glanced at the sky outside the balcony, and smiled at Temari, saying, "Don't leave today. Stay at my house and let me entertain you."

"Hmm... then I'll take my leave."

Temari seemed to remember something, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Finally, I can enjoy Yagyu-kun's cooking again!

He's tall and handsome, incredibly strong and intelligent, has such a gentle personality, and can even cook... No wonder those women were willing to share Yagyu with them.

Temari watched Yagyu check the food in the refrigerator, her eyes widening in a daze.

If possible, she'd like to join too!

"Temari, would you like to go for a walk?"

At that moment, Yagyu suddenly turned around and looked over.

"……Um."

Temari, caught peeking at him, blushed again and quickly lowered her head to respond.

Perhaps it was because she was expressing her feelings through her hairstyle, but ever since Temari saw Yagyu, her heartbeat hadn't slowed down, and her face hadn't cooled down.

Temari doesn't know how to describe that feeling.

But she not only didn't dislike it, she actually liked it very much.
