bang-bang-bang-

At a certain point in time, suddenly, a loud bang came from overhead, and one after another, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

Pedestrians stood still on the roadside, some in pairs, some as a family, looking up at the night sky, expressing their feelings, hopes, and exclamations of longing for the future.

Hundreds of sparks bloomed and disappeared like shooting stars, leaving behind the most beautiful scene of the night.

Multicolored lights illuminated Mikoto's tear-stained face, making her look pitiful and endearing. Looking up, she stared blankly at the magnificent fireworks in the night sky.

After moving into the clan chief's compound, she never saw these scenes she most longed to witness during her girlhood...

Mikoto slowly got up. She had never heard the loud noise before, and she instinctively took Yinyue's hand, like a frightened fawn.

"This is the local annual fireworks festival, which symbolizes a new beginning in life. Keep living, there are still many wonderful things in the ninja world waiting for you to discover. For Sasuke, with you here, he won't go astray."

Yinyue explained calmly.

Mikoto, regaining her composure, realized her inappropriate behavior and whispered:

"I want to watch him grow up, make sure he eats on time every day, tailor new clothes for him every year, and watch him get married, have children, and start a family..."

Yin Yue nodded and teased, "These alone are probably not enough to heal Sasuke's inner wounds."

"What does Lord Yinyue mean?"

Mikoto raised her hand, wiping away the glistening tears remaining around her red-rimmed eyes, and asked softly.

"Perhaps you could find Sasuke a new father, give him a completely new home?"

"Eh?"

Mikoto blushed and carefully examined Yinyue before her, her heart, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly pounding violently.

……

……

The Land of Soup.

Yuhid Village.

The hot spring hotel features luxurious single-person hot spring pools filled with steaming mist, the water rippling and the white fog swirling around, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

"..."

Yin Yue leaned against the wooden board, slowly sat down, and immersed her body in the warm spring water.

At first, my body was tense, but as my whole body was enveloped in the warm hot spring water, my nerves relaxed, and every inch of my skin felt pleasant and comfortable.

He raised his right hand, and the space trembled slightly. A small test tube, about the size of a thumb and the length of a middle finger, appeared in his palm, filled with pink liquid.

Gollum—

Looking at the bubbling potion, Yin Yue uncorked the wooden bottle, sniffed it closely, and frowned.

He couldn't smell anything. Unlike the vibrant life force of the green herbs, it was unremarkable, giving the illusion of plain water.

It was naturally an illusion; Yin Yue didn't believe it was truly ordinary.

creak-

The wooden sliding door to the changing room outside the hot spring was opened from the outside, followed by the soft sound of high heels stomping on the floor.

Looking up, Yin Yue saw Tsunade walking towards her with an angry expression through the white mist of the hot spring. She was wearing her usual green robe with the word "gamble" on it.

Tsunade walked quickly to the edge of the artificial rockery in the hot spring and looked down at Yinyue, who was soaking in the hot spring.

"What's wrong? Just say it!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and roared angrily.

After being drained of her energy in Orochimaru's underground base, she gradually recovered her mental and physical strength only after reaching the Land of Hot Water.

After waking up, she received a summons from the Uchiha clan, who said that Yin Yue needed to speak with her.

Tsunade's first reaction was naturally to refuse, but her competitive spirit got the better of her.

Humiliated, Tsunade wanted to find an opportunity to get revenge on Yinyue, to fight him and give him a good beating!

"You, Shizune, and Tonton eat my food and use my things. As for how you treat your sugar daddy, put aside everything else, you should at least have the right attitude!" Yinyue said, handing the powdered medicine to Tsunade and saying in a deep voice, "Check it for me."

Now that the team has Tsunade, a medical expert, it's natural that the task of checking medications should be left to her.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's phoenix eyes flashed with even greater anger. She didn't understand the meaning of "sugar daddy" and mistakenly believed that Yin Yue wanted to be her father...

What a shame!

Does Yin Yue actually want to call him "Dad" herself?

Tsunade gritted her teeth.

She tried to shove the test tube of medicine that Yin Yue handed her, but her eyes swept over the strange medicine and seemed to be drawn in by some kind of magic.

The hatred in my heart was temporarily suppressed.

Tsunade looked curious, reached out and took the test tube of medicine, stared intently at it, and then brought it to her nose to sniff it lightly.

Suddenly, my breathing became rapid, as if I were facing some kind of abyss of depravity.

The thought flashed through her mind that the potion in her hand was poison... and extremely poisonous at that.

Tsunade couldn't discern the effects of the medicine by smell alone, but her intuition told her that her body would inevitably have an extremely strong reaction once she drank it.

Yin Yue observed Tsunade's rapidly changing, beautiful face, trying to decipher her inner thoughts.

"Here, this medicine isn't poisonous!"

Tsunade frowned slightly, then her expression returned to normal, and she reached out to hand over the vial of medicine.

She thought for a moment and asked:

"The specific effects require clinical trials. Did Orochimaru give this to you?"

"Yes, Orochimaru gave it to me!"

Drinking the moon, her face remained calm and her heart did not skip a beat.

Green medicine is fine too.

Powdered medicine is fine too.

As long as Orochimaru isn't around, the question will be answered by the evil Orochimaru, since no one would personally ask Orochimaru about such a trivial matter.

"Did he tell you what this medicine is for?" Tsunade pressed.

Yin Yue calmly replied, "He didn't say, he only told me to drink it quickly, it might have miraculous effects!"

"..." Tsunade.

She speculated on Orochimaru's thoughts. Since that guy gave the highly poisonous drug to Yin Yue, it seemed that Orochimaru and Yin Yue might not be on the same page.

"Then drink it. With me here, you can rest assured!" Tsunade urged.

Her eyes lit up, eagerly anticipating Yin Yue's reaction after drinking the highly poisonous drug.

That will be her chance to make her move!

Yin Yue nodded slightly, raised her left hand from the hot spring, causing the space to tremble, and took out a bottle of green medicine.

If you experience any adverse effects after taking the powdered medicine, you can immediately take the green medicine to counteract it and offset the negative effects of the medicine on your body.

This might be one of the reasons why the green potion quest was released before the pink potion quest.

With green medicine, we are not afraid of any toxins.

Tsunade watched as another potion appeared in Yin Yue's hand, as if by magic.

Her expression changed slightly, and after a moment, she smelled the unique power emanating from the green herb, which contained a vast vitality.

"Let me see that green medicine..."

Tsunade's eyes widened, and she pleaded urgently.

"Hold on!"

As Yin Yue spoke, she tilted her head back and drank the medicine she was holding in her right hand in one gulp.

This drug, which could cause a dramatic change in Tsunade's expression, had no smell and taste, just like water, when it entered Yin Yue's mouth.

"How are you feeling?" Tsunade asked curiously, carefully examining Yin Yue's face.

Yinyue shook her head in silence.

Half a minute later.

Yin Yue felt nothing in her body; it was just like drinking a bottle of water. Apart from relieving the thirst caused by soaking in the hot spring, it had no other effect.

He thought for a moment, preparing to toss the green medicine that could mitigate the risks to Tsunade, when suddenly, a certain meridian in his mind seemed to be activated.

His mental strength increased slightly, and the way the drug worked was repeatedly displayed in his mind in the form of a stream of consciousness.

Yin Yue's pupils contracted sharply. After confirming several times, she uttered two words: "Cultivating spiritual power...?"

He guessed half the truth about the drug's effects; it could indeed enhance the user's mental strength, but only through gradual cultivation with a member of the opposite sex.

Under its influence, both men and women can enhance their mental strength and improve together.

Just as drinking a green medicine allows one to sense plants within a 500-meter radius, at this moment, Yin Yue can sense that a certain emotion generated by the human body within a 500-meter radius is converging towards her, enveloping the hot spring area in a special energy field.

"Damn Orochimaru, what is this thing?!" Tsunade's cheeks flushed red again, her red lips parted slightly, she cursed, and stepped into the spring.

Tsunade's expression was strange.

She is very clear-headed now and knows exactly what she wants. It seems that as long as she achieves that goal, her mental strength will be able to break through.

"What's wrong with you?" Yin Yue asked, looking at Tsunade who seemed off.

Clearly, this peculiar emotional field was quite strange, yet Yin Yue remained unaffected.

After struggling with her inner resistance and trying to save herself to no avail, Tsunade helplessly threw herself into Yin Yue's arms, saying shyly, "You jerk, forget what happened tonight..."

Tsunade's expression shifted between fierce and gentle as she was embraced around the waist.

Thick fog obscured the moonlight, and the night wind rustled through the bamboo forest.

Her lips reached out, her breath as delicate as an orchid.

Their spiritual power gradually increased, like streams merging and intertwining, their deep emotions transforming into spiritual strength, which they shared equally.

He returned to his room and slammed the door shut.

……

……

Late at night, in a hot spring inn, in a certain guest room.

Mikoto tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. After much thought, she simply threw off the covers and sat up.

She changed into a warm-colored nightgown and paced back and forth in the room, her face flushed and her mind racing.

"Perhaps you could find Sasuke a new father, give him a completely new home?"

Yin Yue's words kept swirling in her mind, like a demonic chant stirring up her restless desires and making her anxious and uneasy.

"Sasuke's path to adulthood definitely requires a strict father; otherwise, he will lack paternal love... If I can't restrain him during his growth, Sasuke will likely still go to extremes..."

Mikoto tried to console herself, clutching her smooth, black hair, her dark eyes filled with sorrow, her jade-like feet treading on the cold wooden floor as she pondered deeply.

"Can Yinyue-kun really become a qualified father?"

Mikoto asked softly.

"I need to...test him...or get to know him better."

Mikoto asked herself the question and answered it herself. As she spoke, her face burned with heat. She mustered her courage and left the room.

They arrived at the door of Yinyue's room.

I just knocked on the door.

I heard a noise.

Mikoto's face flushed with a hint of allure as she stood frozen in place, overwhelmed with shame. She hadn't expected that Lord Yinyue was truly as her clansmen had said behind her back...

She just made her decision a little late.

Even something like this.

Everyone needs to queue!

But the door had already been knocked on, and Mikoto was now caught in a dilemma, her mind blank.

creak-

Suddenly, the sliding door opened, and a spirited Yin Yue walked out, looking directly at Mei Qin, surprised that she was still awake at this hour.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Yinyue... I've come at the wrong time..." Mikoto turned away shyly.

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Yinyue reached out and grabbed Mikoto's wrist, leading her into the room.

Moonlight streamed through the window, dispelling the darkness in the room and illuminating the floor. Mikoto caught a whiff of an indescribable, mixed fragrance.

"this……"

She almost cried out when she saw Tsunade lying on the bed on the floor, her blonde hair disheveled and fast asleep.

Mikoto narrowed her eyes, surveying the messy bed. She was naturally curious about who was in Yinyue's room, but she never expected it to be this person.

"Oh, I was just treating her hemophobia," Yin Yue said calmly, without blushing or skipping a beat.

"..." Mikoto looked at Yinyue with a strange expression, then asked coquettishly, "How's the treatment going?"

Yin Yue thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "The effect is good. She will be able to sleep well tonight. However, she will need several more courses of treatment to fully recover."

Mikoto was speechless.

The two sat on the tatami mats by the window, gazing at the tranquil, lush bamboo forest below. A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled as they fell to the ground like raindrops.

A moment of silence.

Mikoto parted her red lips slightly, her thoughts in turmoil, and tentatively believed Yin Yue's nonsense.

She asked in a deep voice:

"What you showed me with your genjutsu... were those the hardships and torments Sasuke will personally experience in the future?"

She tried to keep her voice as soft as water, afraid of waking Tsunade who was fast asleep.

"That's the future of Sasuke that I deduced using Tsukuyomi. If you die and I die, Sasuke's future will develop along that line, watered by Itachi's hatred and pain."

Yin Yue did not lower her voice.

He didn't care about Tsunade.

After being tormented all night, she fell into a deep sleep while begging for mercy. Even if you detonated the explosive tags in the room, the loud explosions wouldn't wake Tsunade.

On the contrary, Yin Yue's mental strength gradually increased, and she felt no fatigue at all.

Mikoto glanced at the ground with her beautiful eyes, and after a long while sighed, "Yinyue-kun... I've thought it through. Sasuke really needs a strict teacher like a father. If you're willing, I'll have him become your apprentice and receive your teachings."

This statement was extremely tactful.

Now, she can't bring herself to ask Yin Yue to become Sasuke's father, so starting with her master might be a good idea.

If Yin Yue is suitable, she will promote Yin Yue to the official position and make Sasuke accept everything.

"Yes!" Yinyue nodded.

Seeing that Yin Yue did not refuse, Mikoto's face lit up with joy. Then, Xiu Mei slumped down and whispered in thought:

"I still don't know how to atone for the crimes Itachi committed... I'm sorry, it seems like there's nothing I can do."

Yin Yue scrutinized Mei Qin and calmly said, "In the past, you were indeed unable to atone for your sins, but now, you can help me cultivate."

"Hmm?" Mikoto's dark eyes showed confusion as she looked directly at Yin Yue, asking in bewilderment, "Cultivation?"

Glancing at the approaching dawn, Yin Yue scanned Tsunade, who was sleeping like a baby.

He began to speak:

"It's almost dawn. Rest here tonight, and I'll tell you how."

"All right……"

After a while, Mikoto reluctantly lay down next to the sleeping Tsunade, covered herself with the blanket, and felt uneasy.

Until you feel a warm embrace.

Mikoto breathed heavily, biting her lip, and turned to look at Yinyue behind her with a surprised gaze.

"Focus on mental strength."

Drinking the Moon Reminder.

The night wind rustled outside the window, making the bamboo forest whisper in the breeze. Tsunade slept soundly that night.

"How do you feel?"

"Hmm—my mental strength seems to have improved, and my mind is clearer than before..."

"Yeah, I wasn't lying to you, was I?"

"No... Lord Yinyue."

"Then let's continue cultivating!" Feeling her own spirit improve, Yin Yue couldn't help but complain, "This thing is just like the green medicine!"

He worked so hard.

As a result, each attempt only increases one's mental strength by about 1%.
