Did they… have a fight?\", Kurotsuchi, who had been hiding at a distance and secretly observing, saw the two part ways and couldn't help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't understand why the two of them, who had seemed perfectly fine, suddenly started quarreling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since they had separated, that meant her stalking journey could come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi released her Transformation Jutsu and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she turned around, \"Bang!\", she ran straight into someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ao… Aoba?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled up in her eyes as she clutched her aching nose. Before she could even complain, she realized the person standing in front of her was Aoba himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile playing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, Kurotsuchi. Didn't think I'd run into you here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-yeah… real coincidence, haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her irritation instantly vanished, replaced by a flicker of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy probably already knew she'd been tailing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just now, there was a little mouse following us around, but it suddenly vanished. I don't suppose you happened to see it?\", Aoba's expression was all kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi couldn't help but curl her lip. Sure enough, he already knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was out in the open now, she decided to drop the act and crossed her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba raised an eyebrow, \"You're awfully bold about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Following you was wrong, I admit that. But aren't you going to explain your relationship with Lady Tsunade first?\", Kurotsuchi still spoke with full confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba tilted his head, looking puzzled, \"Me and my Sensei are together, both willingly. What exactly needs explaining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Th-this…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Tsunade is your Sensei! And she's so much older than you,\" Kurotsuchi looked utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba replied calmly, \"If it's true love, none of that matters!\" [T\u002FN: 😑]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, this doesn't really concern you, does it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\", Kurotsuchi was momentarily speechless. Just as Aoba said, she was nothing more than an outsider. The two were mutually consenting, even if some parts of it were hard to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ninja world didn't have any rule forbidding a student from being with their teacher. Still, she couldn't wrap her head around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, I've noticed you really like people older than you, huh?\", Her words were already phrased gently, 'The girls this guy likes aren't just a bit older. They are way older.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi simply couldn't comprehend it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it's because I lost my parents shortly after I was born. Without their care, I lacked a sense of security, so I guess I'm drawn to big-sister types like my Sensei or Yugao who know how to be gentle.\" [T\u002FN: Mommy issues]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Aoba even put on a wounded expression, as if mourning his tragic childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, his childhood hadn't been tragic at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naive Kurotsuchi looked at his face and actually believed him, that his strange preferences came from childhood trauma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that it was understandable, she realized she might have brought up a painful subject and hurried to apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, I forgive you,\" Aoba replied easily, then added, \"About me and my Sensei… I'd really appreciate it if you kept that a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\", Kurotsuchi looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because she's not mentally prepared yet. Just like how shocked you were to see us, other people's reactions would be even more exaggerated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba patiently explained, \"When that happens, rumors might spread. I don't care what people say about me, but I don't want my Sensei to get hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Kurotsuchi, if you can keep this between us, I'll cook anything you want to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how earnest he looked, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but purse her lips. This was the first time this guy had ever begged her for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure play the part of a scoundrel well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But fine, since you said it yourself, no matter what I want to eat from now on, you'll make it for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba's smile returned, and he thanked her sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Kurotsuchi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's there to thank me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her whole body prickled with goosebumps. Aoba acting all sentimental like that just made her uncomfortable. She then remembered how angry Tsunade had seemed earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Lady Tsunade got mad because I found out about you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More or less. But as long as you don't tell anyone, it's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\", Kurotsuchi's eyes started darting mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you plotting now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her well, Aoba could tell she was up to no good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heheheh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi gave a sly laugh, \"Aoba, you don't want anyone else to find out about you and Tsunade, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba widened his eyes, the tables had turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you just promise not to say anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care! Anyway, everything I buy this afternoon, you're paying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kurotsuchi folded her arms proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba thought she was going to say something outrageous, but that was it? Guess she hadn't read enough novels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. Just keep the receipts, and I'll reimburse you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm heading back first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved and was about to leave, but Kurotsuchi grabbed his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, you're carrying my bags this afternoon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All afternoon, watching Kurotsuchi hopping from shop to shop, peeking here and there with excitement, Aoba couldn't help but feel like he was taking care of a daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they returned to the inn, the sky was already dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the sealing scrolls, they didn't have to lug around piles of bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we bought all this stuff today, so don't forget, what you saw today stays in your stomach!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing the scroll to Kurotsuchi, Aoba poked her forehead, speaking half in jest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\", Kurotsuchi covered her forehead, backing away quickly with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aoba, this secret, I'm gonna eat it for a lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, she dashed upstairs and ran straight to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoba watched her back and couldn't help but feel speechless. Somehow, it felt like their roles had been reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though honestly, her \"threat\" didn't really matter to him. He was just humoring her because she seemed to be having so much fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a helpless shake of his head, Aoba picked up two bottles of sake and went upstairs to find Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to have a good discussion with her, about why it's always in the darkest, dampest depths that the source of life begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FAmbitiousTranslator\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🥳Joining P@treon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.🥰 You can access upto 20 advance chapter through P@treon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-10T07:06:04.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","540b3066ff1a73c7ff56727217013c5075dddae995c10c6a030f9b7e73424966","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-489","naruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-chapter-487",828,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-yandere-harem-with-gacha-system-cover.jpg"]
