She bit her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she shooed Isaribi off Aoba's lap and sat herself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karin's eyes almost popped out of her head. How did she not think of that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Sakura, she suddenly felt like nothing more than a rookie soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenten's little face tensed up, her bun bobbing as her small hands trembled with unease, proving just how unsettled she was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba could only smile helplessly. Glancing at Uzuki Yugao's still composed expression, he simply wrapped all three of them in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his height now, the three girls, barely around one meter fifty, seemed like little birds nestled against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even holding three at once didn't feel the least bit out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, that round of barbecue dragged on far too long, mainly because he hadn't been allowed a single bite of meat himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, neither Yakumo nor Anko, the bold veterans, were there at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, dinner would have lasted even longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the doorstep, he kissed them each goodbye in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Aoba, Uzuki Yugao, and Karin headed home together, the house was bustling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm! Not enough sugar in this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one has too much flour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one has too much milk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, this one's fine, the proportions are just right. Just the taste is a little off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closer, they saw not only Konan, Yugito, and Kin, but also Tsunade, Shizune, and Uzumaki Kasui all gathered there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, what are you all doing?\", Aoba asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm?\", Tsunade had just stuffed a pastry into her mouth. She gave him only a brief glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your little maid, for some reason, baked a whole mountain of cakes. She couldn't finish them herself, so she invited us over to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba raised a brow. He looked over the table piled high with desserts, then at the bashful Yugito standing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only told you to make a little. Why'd you make so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugito's face reddened slightly. That afternoon, she had only meant to try a few batches following Aoba's advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she kept going until evening, and by then there was far too much to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was no way she would admit that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't flatter yourself, I…I…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was going to see Samui and the others tomorrow, so I wanted to bring them some cake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-It's not like I made it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She racked her brain for an excuse and finally pulled Samui's name out, but that last line sounded awfully suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Then I won't eat any. I just had dinner anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba said with a fake frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… I worked this hard on it, you're not allowed to refuse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugito bared her teeth at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Aoba's mouth curled up, \"Then I suppose I'll force myself to try a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a piece and took a bite. Yugito, who had been baring her teeth just moments ago, couldn't help but show expectant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself didn't even realize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other girls, however, looked on with odd expressions, gazing at Yugito with both surprise and pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tsundere little cat had already been completely caught in Aoba's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade found herself staring at him a bit longer, secretly sighing in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this brat dares let Yugito move about freely in Konoha—she's already been molded into his shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugao and the older sisters around wore looks of helpless resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Kin, her eyes were full of conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Yugito… from the looks of it, she might also end up as one of their future mistresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she used to clash with her all the time, would she get petty revenge later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karin, naturally, was filled with a sense of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of mature big-sister type was nothing less than a lifelong enemy to a flat-chested little girl like her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The taste is much better than this afternoon's. You've improved a lot,\" Aoba praised sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! It's just cake. For me, that's nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugito crossed her arms, feigning indifference, but the smile tugging at her lips betrayed her mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Aoba explained the reason for his change in appearance to Uzumaki Kasui and Kin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he went and leaned into Kasui's soft embrace again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, only Karin's odd, jealous glare forced Kasui to let him go, saving Aoba from suffocating in that gentle haven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lively interlude came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had to go home went home. Those who had to return to their rooms returned to their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, have you contacted Mei Terumi lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugao lay sprawled across his chest, lazily drawing circles with her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba shook his head, \"Mei-nee hasn't reached out in a while either. She's probably busy with too many things over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll check in on her later. Do you want to join me, Yugao-nee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugao shook her head without hesitation, \"Go on your own. I'm tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only asked on a whim, as if something was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kirigakure, Inside the Mizukage's Office]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was already late at night, Mei Terumi still sat at her desk, sighing as she flipped through documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her eyes grew tired, she leaned back in her chair and closed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She imagined someone standing behind her, massaging her shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that boy who used to massage her was no longer by her side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she became Mizukage, her work had never stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, cleaning up the aftermath of the Bloody Mist, patching up the mess left by that nearly-dead bastard Yagura. Then came the joint economic zone with Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was like a spinning top, unable to rest for even a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that she didn't even dare reach out to him, afraid that if she fell into that gentle trap, she'd never get free again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if she didn't contact him, that little bastard hadn't once come to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have been sucked dry by Yugao, Konan, and the others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? Why the long face?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was silently grumbling, a familiar voice sounded in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei's eyes shot open almost instinctively, her joy plain to see, \"Aoba!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba walked up to her, casually ruffling her curly hair, \"Mei-nee, I came to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei's heart soared, though her expression showed doubt, \"Aoba, how come you suddenly look older?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba pinched her smooth cheek with his fingers, explaining the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei listened in silence. At last, she buried her face into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stood up, pressed Aoba down into the Mizukage's seat, her slender fingers brushing down from his chest before resting lightly atop his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no bed here… so this will have to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Aoba could react, Mei had already drifted off to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really now… why do you smell so much like Yugao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba scratched his head awkwardly, not sure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had washed quite thoroughly before leaving, honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, outside Kirigakure—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A masked man silently appeared on the branch of a massive tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down at the village, his single crimson eye glimmered with a dark, heavy light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1264,"2026-06-10T07:06:04.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b31d6c8dcee8396ba8651cba0abbdcc2920ada6bf912f8756c57856de85c58c","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-433","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-431",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
