Madara, let's change the world together!

Meanwhile, atop the Mizukage Building, Madara Uchiha, dressed in plain blue clothes, was enjoying the sunrise hidden in the clouds with his younger brother, Izuna.

A paper airplane flew up and landed right in Ban's hand.

"Brother, did Yuan give this to you?"

Ban picked up the paper airplane, which unfolded automatically, revealing the word "thank you" inside.

The text then disappeared, and a bunch of words reappeared.

"Ah."

"It was just some greetings."

Ban's lips curled up slightly, and his right hand subconsciously tapped his chest.

This piece of paper reminded him of something.

Let Yuan handle these tasks. Once everything is done, it will be his turn to walk those two temperamental pets.

Chapter 119 Aino is very troubled

Otsutsuki Aino felt that something was wrong with her.

It feels like something is stuck in my chest; I want to do something, but I don't know how to release it.

She was now sitting at the desk in the Water Shadow's office, just like when she was in the office of the Lord of the First Sun City.

Do not!

There has been a slight change.

She used to sit on the outer edge of the desk, with her back to Kiyoshi Gen.

She was sitting on the inner edge of the desk, with her back against the door, and Qingjing Yuan was working just a few feet away to her left.

With a slight turn of the head, one can see that Kiyoshi Gen is writing a draft of the project proposal.

Because she took it upon herself to kill most of the nobles of the Water Kingdom, Kiyoi Gen had to write a new one.

I feel like apologizing.

Aino leaned back, placing her hands on the table. She raised her left leg until it reached over her chest, revealing her small, white-silk-clad feet encased in embroidered shoes.

It's been over a month since I got this body.

She's a woman, isn't she?

At first, I was very happy to become my mother's real child.

But afterwards, she felt that her big breasts were a bit of a nuisance, and she even blamed Kiyoshi Gen for making her body too restrictive of her movements.

In order to live a better life, she asked Miki's mother how to be a woman, and the mother taught her some tips, including how to adapt to her breasts.

Fortunately, the bra held it in place effectively, so it wasn't too much of a hassle.

This outfit is quite nice; it's form-fitting and comfortable, and the shoes fit her feet perfectly with soft soles, making it easy for her to move around.

Thinking of this, Aino bent her left foot inward. The sole of the embroidered shoe was not as soft as her foot, so it fell off directly, leaving only the toe of the shoe hanging on her white silk toes.

Kiyoshi, who was focused on his work, didn't notice that Aino was playing with her shoes.

Aino looked at Kiyoi Gen's profile and her mind began to wander.

She wanted to reconnect with Gen through chakra, to see how he truly viewed her.

Ever since that frank conversation with Gen, for some reason, she has become increasingly concerned about Gen's thoughts.

That's why I took it upon myself to help Yuan and get rid of the things that were bothering him.

What kind of feeling is this?

Like it?

Aino reflected on the results of her observations of humanity over the past thousand years.

She doesn't really believe in human emotions.

Both friendship and love have been corrupted by huge interests and are difficult to sustain.

Ultimately, what kind of feeling is liking someone?

She had never experienced it.

Suddenly, Aino remembered that there seemed to be such a book in her small library.

She took out a small scroll, and with a soft "pop," "The Self-Cultivation of Children" was revealed.

Kiyoshi Gen glanced at it subconsciously and immediately looked away.

Aino must be bored sitting like this, so it's normal for her to read a book.

However, there was another book tucked inside "Children's Self-Cultivation".

How to get along with the opposite sex!

This is the textbook that every student at Churi City School must study.

It has two main sections: men and women.

In order to learn more about Hatsuhi Castle, Aino also read the school textbooks.

She turned to the women's section, and then followed the table of contents to the chapter on "What is Liking".

The text describes what liking someone is, covering a very broad range of emotions, and focuses on how liking someone between men and women manifests.

'I have a good impression of him, and I feel very comfortable around him. It's a simple, pleasant feeling of attraction.'

It also explains how to distinguish whether this "like" is friendship or love.

She desires closer contact, exhibits some possessiveness, deliberately pays attention to him, wants to see him, and includes him in her future plans.

As Aino read the description in the book, her heart raced faster and faster, and her face felt hot.

According to the book, she must have really developed feelings of attraction towards Yuan, and was in the budding stage of love.

But why would she have such feelings?

Is it because she has a female body and decided to become a woman that she develops female emotions?

"Dong dong!"

"Sir, may I come in?"

"Eeeeeee!!!"

Startled, Aino let out a weak sound, and instinctively kicked her legs, causing the embroidered shoe hanging from the toe of her left foot to fly off.

Kiyoshi looked at Aino with a completely bewildered expression.

No way, they just knocked on the door and you got so scared that you made such a shy sound, and you even lost your shoe?

Is this still the same mastermind who has been lurking for a thousand years, deceiving countless reincarnations of Indra?

Kiyoshi raised his left hand, and the black embroidered shoe with gold patterns that had fallen to the ground was sucked into his palm.

He briefly gained the ability of the Tenseigan, which allowed him to understand simple techniques for controlling gravity.

Although it can't be used for combat, it's perfectly fine for absorbing things like shoes.

Be careful.

"I really don't know what you're so nervous about."

Kiyoshi bent down and casually cupped Aino's white-stockinged feet in his left hand.

The soles of the feet are very soft; you can hold them in one hand.

Unlike when it was first made, the soles of my feet now clearly have a life-like warmth.

The black embroidered shoes with gold patterns were first slipped onto the five toes wrapped in white silk, concealing the hazy toes beneath the thin white silk.

Slowly place the embroidered shoe onto the gently curved arch of the foot with your fingers.

Her fingertips glided over the soft, warm stockings, and she slipped her embroidered shoes over her rounded heels.

The shoes fit perfectly, not too big or too small.

The scene before her eyes was just right to fit into Aino's heart, not too big, not too small, just enough to fill all the space.

Aino's face flushed a small pink blush as she watched Kiyoi Gen's fingers leave her ankle, her heart pounding even faster.

Now she is very certain.

The flutter in my heart was truly "liking" someone, the kind of feeling that is called romantic love.

No, no, no!!!

She wasn't entirely sure yet; she needed to study the book more carefully.

She remembered that this book was mainly edited by Kiyoshi Gen, so there couldn't be any mistake!

"Come in."

Aino immediately jumped down from the desk, pressing down her flying skirt, and then stood next to Kiyoi Gen.

"Excuse me."

The door opened, and a woman with long, light blue hair and sharp teeth walked in, then knelt on one knee.

Kiyoi Gen recognized her; she was Hozuki Kasumi, the current acting head of the Hozuki clan.

"Master Yuan!"

Hozuki Kagetsu didn't dare to look up at the other person's face rashly.

She's here in a submissive position, so she has to behave well.

What are you doing here?

"I remember I have already told you in detail about the handling of the Hozuki clan."

Hearing Kiyoi Gen's tone turn cold, Aino's expression also turned cold, and she released all her chakra in response.

Hozuki Kasumi clearly sensed the chakra that was enough to make an ordinary ninja despair.

Kiyoshi looked at Aino with a puzzled expression. Why scare her like that?

Aino realized that she seemed to have done something wrong again, and quickly locked her chakra inside her body.
