Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 382 The Decision of the Five Great Ninja Villages

"I...I want to go back."

Seeing that several hours had passed and dawn was approaching, Temari said in a trembling voice that not only her voice was trembling, but her whole body was trembling.

Struggling to sit up, Temari touched her lower abdomen with some concern. After several hours of intense exercise, she couldn't help but recall Sakura's words, and a sense of worry arose in her heart. Although she knew this child wasn't Shikamaru's, it was still her child.

Temari herself didn't realize that the child in her womb was a major reason for her gradual compromises.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly hurt my own child? He's perfectly fine."

Uchiha Yoichi comforted her, then took out a recovery pill and handed it to Temari, otherwise she wouldn't have the strength to walk back.

"But you've done a good job keeping it a secret. Nara Shikamaru hasn't found out yet. Or is it that he hasn't touched you at all lately?"

Uchiha Yang looked at the almost overflowing tally marks on Temari's body and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although Temari was pregnant, her allure increased little by little, and the sensation there became better and better, yet Nara Shikamaru didn't notice at all.

"Shikamaru is busy with village affairs; he's doing this to protect the village."

After Temari took the recovery pill, she couldn't help but defend Nara Shikamaru. She felt guilty towards Shikamaru and didn't want to hear any words that slandered him.

"Still thinking about family, huh, Lady Temari? But do you really think you're still qualified to return to the Nara family?"

Uchiha Yoichi pulled Temari over and pinned her down.

"No, it really is time. I... I need to go back to make breakfast for Lu Dai."

Although Temari's tone revealed defiance, her hands made no move to resist.

"Finally made it back!"

When Temari quietly returned to her bedroom, she noticed that Shikadai hadn't woken up and Shikamaru hadn't returned either, which relieved her slightly; however, the sweat and thick smell on her body were still there, so she needed to take a shower as soon as possible.

creak!

A sudden sound came from the downstairs door, startling Temari. At this hour, the only person who could be returning was probably Shikamaru.

Temari hurriedly went to the bathroom in a bit of a panic, wet a towel, wiped herself down, and then sprayed some perfume to cover up the strong smell on her body. Then she pretended to have just woken up and went downstairs.

Seeing Nara Shikamaru about to go upstairs, Temari tried to calm herself down, pretending to have just woken up, and said to him, "Shikamaru? You're back! I'll go make dinner right away. Do you want to rest for a while?"

"No need, I'll just grab a bite and leave. I have a lot to do today. But is Lu Dai still not up?"

After Nara Shikamaru finished speaking, he was about to call Nara Shikadai. He had just thought that Temari was still asleep, so he was going upstairs to check on her. But why was the scent on Temari so strong? And it was a bit pungent.

However, Nara Shikamaru only complained to himself for a moment; he dared not say it aloud, otherwise Temari might argue with him endlessly.

Nara Shikamaru said, "You don't need to cook either. Temari, go wake Shikadai up. I'll go buy some things and see the Shinno family's house open when I come back. What do you say?"

"Thank you for your help, Shikamaru."

Temari had just been thinking about getting Shikamaru to leave, so she readily agreed. However, her decisiveness surprised Shikamaru. In the past, Temari hated eating out the most, while eating out was the favorite thing for Nara Shikamaru and Nara Shikadai, who were both lazy.

Unexpectedly, things turned out the other way around today.

"I'll go back and change my clothes first, Shikamaru."

After saying that, Temari turned and walked upstairs.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go buy something."

Nara Shikamaru paused for a second or two before speaking, but by the time he finished, Temari had already gone back inside. Nara Shikamaru scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and then decided to go outside to buy breakfast.

However, just before leaving, Nara Shikamaru suddenly noticed a little bit of white on the ground and felt a little strange. It seemed to have fallen from Temari.

Just as Nara Shikamaru was about to get closer to see what it was, Nara Shikadai's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Father? What are you doing?"

"Lu Dai? You're awake."

Upon hearing his son's voice, Nara Shikamaru quickly turned around, cleared his throat, and said, "Your mother overslept today. I'm about to go buy breakfast. Would you like to come along?"

"Yes, I'm actually craving something like this; Mom's cooking is too bland."

"Shh, don't let your mother hear you, or neither of us will have anything to eat!"

Nara Shikamaru quickly said, but being interrupted by Nara Shikadai, he forgot to check what was left on the stairs.

------------

After the Five Kage Summit, the various ninja villages sprang into action, forming elite ninja squads to unite against the Kara organization, which might be connected to the Otsutsuki clan.

This battle reminded them of the Fourth Shinobi World War, because the Ten-Tails was clearly present, along with the Kara organization that imprisoned it.

The five great ninja villages all need to send out some outstanding ninja teams, and Naruto Uzumaki has also gone to contact the other tailed beasts.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails returned to their respective habitats. Naruto Uzumaki contacted them through chakra in order to get help from the other seven tailed beasts.

However, only the One-Tailed, Four-Tailed, and Five-Tailed beasts are certain to arrive within a week; the other tailed beasts are far away and will require some time.

Furthermore, they were unaware of information about the Otsutsuki clan. Tailed beasts that were not Jinchuriki could only be considered as second-tier combat power, even if they were very strong.

If the Otsutsuki have the ability to subdue the Tailed Beasts, then they cannot be allowed to appear. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara Uchiha sealed all nine Tailed Beasts into the Gedo Mazo in an instant. Naruto Uzumaki and his friends did not know if the Otsutsuki had this ability, so they dared not act rashly.

The five great ninja villages quickly sprang into action. The recent series of events made them feel as if they had returned to the Fourth Shinobi World War, especially when facing the unknown Kara organization and the Ten-Tails involved.

After the meeting in the Hokage's office, Uchiha Yoichi also learned about this matter.

The phone he launched has the ability to eavesdrop even when it is turned off, and the eavesdropping function will only stop when the battery is completely dead.

"We've found the space-time dimension where the Ten-Tails is hidden. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Upon hearing this news, Uchiha Yang smiled from the bottom of his heart. This was the very purpose of his time travel, and he had thought he would only be able to find it in a few years. He never expected it to happen so soon.
