I can share a room with you, but you can't take your clothes off to sleep

"Don't worry, Hinata, I'm here. I'll keep a close eye on Kanami."

Tsunade said with a smile.

However, Hinata Hyuga Tsunade with a lingering look.

It seems to be saying, "Actually, I don't even trust you..."

Tsunade was startled when she felt Hinata's gaze.

I'm already over fifty, do you think Kanami would still have feelings for me?

How many Sensory Ninja did Sunagakure send this time?

Seeing that the atmosphere around him was still not quite right, Kanami asked the question directly.

Upon hearing that Sunagakure was mentioned, Temari out of her reverie. "Reporting to Lord Feng An, Sunagakure has sent three powerful Sensory Ninja to our village. I'm here to help them deliver letters, such as those expressing homesickness... so I may be staying for a while."

She said this somewhat awkwardly.

She also felt that her reasoning was somewhat weak.

But Kanami understands.

Kanami quickly realized what was happening.

They're here to see Shikamaru Nara!

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Temari would leave Sunagakure, where she was used to living, and instead plan to stay in Konoha for an extended period.

"Okay, do you need us to help you arrange accommodation?"

Kanami's lips curled slightly upward as he spoke.

Temari quickly shook her head, "No need, no need, I'll figure it out myself."

"Oh, I heard from Shikamaru that he has a lot of empty rooms at home, and I was thinking that if you don't mind, you could stay at his place, since you two are quite familiar with each other."

"Since you have your own plans, then let's just forget about it."

Kanami said with a hint of regret.

Temari was taken aback.

"Ah?"

Shikamaru?!

"Etc!"

She quickly called out to Kanami, "I've thought about it carefully, so you guys should make the arrangements. After all, I'm not very familiar with this place. Staying at Shikamaru's place is fine too, as long as there's room."

Kanami couldn't hold back any longer and a smile crept up his lips.

I knew Temari was here to see Shikamaru!

As expected, they defeated their opponent in the second round of the Chunin exam!

He truly lives up to his title as the Eighth Hokage; he even managed to win over the village beauty of Sunagakure without making a sound.

Hinata Hyuga let out a long sigh.

Thankfully, I thought Kanami was going to arrange for Temari to stay at our house...

Living at Shikamaru's house would be great!

"What?!"

At the Nara Household, Shikaku Nara stared wide-eyed at Kanami with disbelief.

"Kanami, you're letting Temari stay at my house? This... this is unacceptable!"

He seemed a little nervous, his face slightly flushed.

"You're unwilling?" Kanami retorted.

"No, that's not it, it's just that this isn't very good, would Temari agree to it?"

Shikamaru Nara scratched his cheek, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, she's right outside."

Temari.

Kanami called out.

Soon, Temari out from outside the courtyard and quickly walked over to Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru, do you... do you have a spare room?"

Temari glanced at Shikamaru somewhat embarrassedly, then quickly looked away.

"Have!!"

Shikamaru straightened his back instantly, and his whole body looked a little stiff.

"I'll ask my dad to tidy up the empty house!" He stiffly turned and went into the master bedroom. "Dad! We have an empty house, don't we?"

"You idiot, don't you know our Nara Household's situation? We're so poor we're about to eat venison."

Shikaku Nara spoke softly.

"Yes, right? It'll be cleaned up soon? Okay, okay, I got it!"

Shikamaru Nara deliberately spoke loudly.

Shikaku Nara: "???"

"You little rascal, I meant..."

"Shh!"

Shikamaru quickly made a shushing gesture, "You'd better tidy up my study, because a... troublesome woman is about to move into our house."

Upon hearing this, Shikaku Nara's expression instantly became clear.

"Sogasne,"

"What a troublesome woman! Dad understands you. I'll clean your study spotless, but what about your shogi set too?"

"Clean it up!"

"Alright, for our son's lifelong happiness."

Shikaku Nara quickly got up and went straight to the study next to Shikamaru's bedroom.

"Tap tap."

Shikamaru Nara soon returned to Kanami and the others.

"There are seats available, but..."

Shikamaru scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed to speak.

Temari's eyes darted around. "N-But what? Is the room dark? Or cold? I can accept any of that, as long as I have a place to stay!"

After saying all that, she suddenly realized that her expectations were a bit too high.

So he quickly added, "Even if there's nowhere to stay, that's fine! I'll share a room with you... anything is fine, but you can't take your clothes off to sleep!"

Kanami:???

Shikamaru Nara:??!

Shikaku Nara had just tidied up his study in a flash:?!!

If I'd already been willing to live together, I wouldn't have bothered cleaning the room at all!

Before anyone noticed him, Shikaku carefully prepared to return to the study and put the messy things back.

But just then, Shikamaru Nara spoke up, "I wouldn't make you suffer like that! I have a house! It's very clean! It's right next to my room!"

Kanami: "..."

He's usually quite smart, how come he's acting so stupid now?

In his view, they should just go all out and get them to live together!

Whether or not he takes off his clothes is irrelevant; the important thing is that Temari has already said so, and Shikamaru's continued statement makes him seem somewhat displeased.

Upon Temari also pursed her lips.

But it's strange to be angry now...

Therefore, she was now caught between being angry and not angry, and her expression became even more unnatural.

Shikaku Nara, who was halfway there, was also exhausted.

"That brat, why is he acting so stupidly now! Does he really think she's a troublesome woman?"

Seeing that the two were getting along well, Kanami prepared to leave.

Well, it should be considered a harmonious relationship.

"Shikamaru, Temari, I'm getting ready to go back."

"Oh, okay..."

Shikamaru nodded stiffly. "Take care, Kanami, have a safe journey."

In the past, he would have definitely come up and accompanied Kanami for a while, or even taken him home, but he was clearly not in the right state of mind now.

I have no idea how I normally behave.

Temari nodded slightly.

"By the way, Temari, you can stay with Shikamaru for as long as you want. You don't need to ask Tsunade or me to report to her every now and then. Lady Tsunade has already agreed."

"Of course, I agree."

After Kanami finished speaking, he instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Great, I don't have to run back and forth anymore."

Temari looked delighted.

Shikamaru Nara's brain was a bit overloaded. "What did Kanami say? He said Temari wants to live with me?!"

Seeing his son's silly appearance, Shikaku Nara shook his head, "You're being influenced by women to the point of becoming mentally challenged."
