But if it was only a lack of chakra, that wasn't much of a problem for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? I want to! I want to!\", Sara's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba nodded, \"Hanabi, do you want to come too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\", Hanabi answered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way she'd let the two of them go out and play alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba smiled knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balancing the relationship between these two was actually quite simple, he just had to keep things even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict between them from the start was basically over their \"senior sister\" status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Aoba didn't take sides and kept things fair, there would be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the two probably wouldn't have many chances to meet again in the future anyway. After all, one lived in Konoha and the other in Roran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aoba thought, Sara only pouted and didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Hinata? Want to come along?\", Aoba asked for Hinata's opinion too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hinata really wanted to go, she still shook her head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Aoba-kun, you should spend time with Hanabi and the others today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, come to our house for dinner tonight, bring Sara with you,\" Hyuga Ayako also said with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then I'll bring them over at dinner time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba didn't refuse, and led the two, one big, one small, out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That entire afternoon was quite lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few steps, the two would start bickering again. Most of the time, Aoba stayed out of it, but he made sure never to favor one over the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Hanabi had, Sara also had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Sara didn't have, Hanabi couldn't have either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time dinner was over, Sara took out a gift she had originally prepared for Hanabi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a large bag of Roran specialty snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Hyuga clan head's second daughter, Hanabi also gave a box of Hyuga clan's special handmade pastries in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship improved a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only a little. Aoba could tell that next time they met, they'd probably still end up bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba and Shizune were standing at the entrance of Konoha, waiting for a \"big guest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That big guest was none other than the Snow Country's daimyo, Koyuki Kazahana, who had arranged her visit to Konoha a week earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Snow Country was small, a daimyo's status was still one of nobility in the shinobi world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Tsunade had arranged for Aoba and Shizune to personally welcome her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was because Koyuki herself requested Aoba, and the second because Shizune, as Tsunade's personal assistant, represented how seriously Konoha took the visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily the two came together, at least they could chat to kill time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they were waiting for Koyuki, two other people arrived first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little blond kid came running toward Konoha's gate in a hurry, but as soon as he reached it, he suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he began circling Aoba curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back to the village, Naruto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune greeted him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi, Shizune-nee!\", Naruto greeted her politely as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba reached out and placed a hand on the little blond's head, saying irritably, \"Alright, Naruto, if you keep spinning around, you're going to make me dizzy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little blond was, of course, Naruto, who had just returned with Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… you're Aoba! How'd you suddenly grow so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto's eyes widened. Clearly, he had recognized Aoba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll explain that later. We're still on duty right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Naruto recognized him, Aoba removed his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto looked disappointed, \"But I wanted to go eat Ichiraku Ramen with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba chuckled and patted his head again, \"Go find Sasuke and the others first. When I'm done with this mission, I'll come find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke's still in the village?\", Naruto's expression brightened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo! Isn't that Shizune, and… huh? You're that kid Aoba?\", Jiraiya walked up and, upon seeing Aoba, showed a surprised expression as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me,\" Aoba nodded again, \"Welcome back to the village, Jiraiya-sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya's eyes glinted, and he laughed heartily, \"Gahaha! So Tsunade knew I was coming and sent you two to welcome me, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba shrugged, \"Sorry to disappoint, Jiraiya-sensei, but we're actually waiting for another VIP.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You mean the Great Toad Sage himself doesn't count as a VIP?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya protested in mock outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're just a pervy sage, what kind of VIP is that?\", Before Aoba or Shizune could explain, Naruto muttered under his breath and instantly shattered Jiraiya's image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two couldn't help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show some respect to your elders, idiot Naruto!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya, embarrassed and annoyed, grabbed Naruto's hair and ruffled it hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Let go of me, you pervy sage! I have to go see Sasuke and the others later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto flailed his arms and legs, struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Then you can go see them with a bird's nest for hair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya tightened his grip, dragging Naruto along toward the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shizune, Aoba, I'll take this brat in first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you later, Aoba!\", Naruto yelled back as they walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a luxurious carriage stopped at Konoha's gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of it was a woman dressed in an elegant purple gown, Koyuki Kazahana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a happy, expectant look on her face, Koyuki gazed at the taller, more mature Aoba, not quite sure if she could believe it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hokage Building, Conference Room]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Tsunade, Shizune, Aoba, Koyuki Kazahana, and Asama Sandayu were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Koyuki's eyes were practically glued to Aoba, filled with sparkling stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't expected that after just a few months apart, he had grown so much. And more importantly, become even more handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she liked him even more now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba sat up straight, visibly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had two extra hands on him, one resting on his waist, the other on his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Koyuki's starry-eyed expression, Asama Sandayu couldn't help but smile knowingly. Before discussing official matters, he decided to bring up something else first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hokage-sama, before we talk business, there's one matter I'd like to discuss with Aoba-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?\", Aoba blinked in confusion, \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asama Sandayu's expression turned serious, sitting up straight, \"Here's the thing. Ever since Her Excellency the Daimyo ascended to her position, she has held Aoba-sama in very high regard. I was wondering if you would be willing… to marry into the Kazahana family as her husband.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade and Aoba froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Koyuki, who had been gazing dreamily at Aoba, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn't they discussed this with her first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizune's hand, which had been resting on her thigh, twitched, and accidentally pressed down harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-10T07:06:04.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","11316fc376d51407377a393ee4d02592f52574e0863a05195a67eba17ab0a113","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-457","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-455",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
