The Big and Little Wives, An Enviable Bastard

As the saying goes: a thick skin gets you a full belly.

And so, after a year of spending time together, Qingwu's progress in winning them over could be described as nothing short of rapid.

"Good morning, my big wife and little wife! I brought you breakfast—I made it myself..."

Nowadays, he had begun to openly address Ino and Hinata as his big wife and little wife in front of everyone.

They took the breakfast quite naturally.

Ino wrinkled her dainty nose: "Hmph! Why are you so late today? Are you trying to starve Hinata and me to death?"

"Ino, Qingwu-ge is working very hard to make breakfast," Hinata said softly, tugging on Ino's sleeve with her usual thoughtfulness.

Her face was flushed red.

She knew Qingwu was late because she ate so much, so he had to prepare extra portions every day.

"Fine, for Hinata's sake, I'll let you off the hook. Ah, this egg pancake is delicious..." Ino's mouth said one thing, but her actions said another; she surrendered to the delicious food.

"Mm-hmm!" Hinata nodded in agreement, munching on her egg pancake like a little hamster.

Anything Qingwu-ge made was the best.

"If it's good, eat more. You need to be full to have the energy to train. Here, have another one..." Qingwu quickly handed Hinata another pancake and went over to serve Ino her soy milk.

"Here, Ino, this is a special five-grain soy milk I made just for you. It's got black beans, red beans, soybeans, red dates, and mung beans. It's packed with nutrients, good for your health, and great for your skin..."

She hadn't cared much at first, but the moment she heard it was good for her skin, Ino immediately downed the whole bowl. Hearing that, Hinata asked Qingwu to pour her a bowl too; vanity really was a girl's nature.

Suddenly.

Qingwu said with a straight face: "Hey, Ino, don't move. You've got something on your face..."

"Ah? What is it? I washed my face today!" Ino immediately started looking for a mirror; young girls were very self-conscious about their image.

"Heh, it's the look of my admiration."

"Qingwu!" Ino had never heard such cheesy pickup lines before; she lowered her head in shyness, feeling very sweet inside.

"Hinata, I've noticed you're acting a bit strange today..."

"Qingwu-ge, I... I..."

"Haha, just kidding. You're strangely beautiful today."

"Ugh..." Hinata turned into a Steam Girl again.

Qingwu: "Ino, Hinata, do you know what kind of door leads to happiness?"

Ino guessed tentatively: "A lucky door?"

Qingwu shook his head: "Wrong."

Hinata: "A golden door?"

Qingwu: "Not that either."

Ino: "It wouldn't happen to be a happiness door, would it?"

Qingwu: "Nope."

Ino said poutily: "Hmph! Then tell us what it is." Hinata also perked up her ears to listen.

Qingwu gently took their hands: "It's us."

It struck them right in the heart.

"Ah!" Ino and Hinata instantly fell for it.

Naruto and the others quickly pulled out sunglasses to put on, careful not to have their eyes blinded; this move was just too flashy.

To flirt with two girls at once and actually succeed?

What a jerk.

Hinata secretly peeked at this boy from her clan; she didn't know when it had happened, but they had already grown accustomed to him.

She still remembered the first time he called them that; both Ino and Hinata had shown intense shyness and anger.

"Bastard! Who told you to call us that?" Ino had even attacked Qingwu without hesitation.

She used her small fists to pound on Qingwu's chest. Her face was full of anger, but there was a hint of secret delight in her heart.

"Ouch! That hurts, Ino, are you playing for real?"

Ino's soft, weak attacks looked more like an act of coquetry, and even then, Qingwu knew his plan had succeeded, so he played along with the performance.

"W... wife?! How could Qingwu-ge..." Upon hearing such an intimate address, little Hinata had instantly transformed into a cute Steam Girl, her face terrifyingly red.

"Hinata, be careful!" She had been so excited she nearly fainted. Fortunately, Ino caught her: "You jerk, stop bullying Hinata!"

She raised her little fists to threaten Qingwu.

Unexpectedly, Qingwu shamelessly grabbed Ino's small hand: "Heh, big wife, are you jealous? Fine, I won't bully Hinata anymore—I'll bully you instead."

"I hold you in the palm of my hand~"

"Blehh~ you pervert... go away... and stop calling me wifey, I'm not your wife~"

"Understood, wifey."

"Don't call me that."

"Alright, wifey~"

"..."

Once Hinata regained her senses, her face remained flushed red. Seeing Qingwu, she scurried behind Ino like a startled little deer, not daring to show her face again.

However, that rascal Qingwu wouldn't let her off so easily. Without a moment's hesitation, he reached out, grabbed Hinata's small hand, and pressed it against his chest.

Qingwu said with a wicked grin: "Be good now~ don't be afraid, Hinata. Just feel my sincere heart... listen to how fast it's beating! That's my burning love for you~"

Such blunt, sweet nothings.

They had a devastating effect on the young girls of the Ninja World.

"Big Brother Qingwu~"

Hinata transformed into a Steam Girl once again.

Holy crap~ Qingwu is a legend.

Watching the three of them flirting, "Damn it~"

The boys were grinding their teeth until they nearly shattered.

"That bastard Qingwu, female ninjas are already a scarce resource, and he's two-timing them."

"This behavior is so infuriating... it should be condemned... that's right... let's condemn him together..."

"But I'm so jealous~"

"Is this the sweetness of love? This sparkling aura is just too stimulating~"

"Help! Someone do something! They're flaunting their romance in broad daylight, it's a massacre of the single folks..."

"..."

The smart ones had already pulled out little notebooks to record Qingwu's cheesy pickup lines and thoughtful gestures.

If you don't know how to date, you can at least copy the homework. Unexpectedly, this move made him a fortune; the Love Manual he published was snapped up frantically, and he became a renowned relationship expert.

"Sakura~" Naruto started to say something to Haruno Sakura.

Haruno Sakura waved him off with disgust: "Get lost~"

"Ah~ okay..." As a simp, Naruto left obediently, his practiced turn and walk heartbreaking to witness.

"Sasuke~" Having chased Naruto away, Haruno Sakura immediately turned to Sasuke with a gentle, fawning expression.

"Get lost~" Sasuke said with a cold face.

The same scene repeated itself.

"Okay~ don't be angry, Sasuke." Sakura left just as obediently, which made Naruto grit his teeth in frustration.

Damn you, Sasuke, how dare you be mean to Sakura.

Naruto shed tears of envy: "Why can't Sakura learn from them... damn you, Qingwu..."

"It's truly enviable. Why can he two-time while I don't even have one girlfriend? It's not fair~"

Shikamaru thought for a moment and then shrugged: Should I find a girlfriend too? Eh~ better not.

Women are such a hassle~ I really don't understand why they're all acting like they're on stimulants, fighting and getting jealous every single day~

Choji was buried in his bag of chips: Crunch~ crunch~

Inuzuka Kiba scoffed: Pfft~ women aren't as good as my Akamaru, right, Akamaru...

Akamaru: Woof woof~

Shino:... Hidden behind his sunglasses and high collar, his expressionless face made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"What on earth am I doing?! I can't even beat Qingwu, who wastes his talent on romantic entanglements. When will I ever be able to take revenge on Itachi Uchiha and restore the Uchiha clan~"

Sasuke's gaze remained fixed on Qingwu, his expression dark with hidden anger and jealousy. He couldn't understand why, despite training so hard, he still couldn't even touch the bottom line of Qingwu's strength.

If Qingwu knew, he would only say: You've got the wrong idea, Sasuke. To restore the Uchiha clan, you just need to keep having children. For a great clan, population is the number one priority.
