Deep into the night, Yuhi Kurenai carefully opened the door to Yuki Yuichi's room.

She had not forgotten that Yuichi told her he had something good to show her.

Looking at Yuki Yuichi sleeping so soundly, Yuhi Kurenai's little head suddenly went blank.

Didn't he say he had something good to show her?

Why was he asleep?

Watching the sleeping Yuki Yuichi, she tilted her head in thought, then crept to the bedside and poked his cheek gingerly.

"Yuichi's skin is so nice..."

Yuhi Kurenai muttered to herself, a smile on her face as she continued to poke Yuki Yuichi.

Seeming to sense something, Yuki Yuichi frowned and smacked his lips.

Seeing this, Yuhi Kurenai prepared to poke him one last time before leaving, but just as she moved, Yuki Yuichi stirred.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the bed; Yuhi Kurenai instinctively wanted to cry out, but she stopped herself immediately.

If she woke Yuichi or her father up, she would die of embarrassment.

Yuki Yuichi pulled her onto the bed, then turned over and wrapped his arms around her.

Feeling the breath from his nose and mouth, Yuhi Kurenai's face turned bright red, and she buried her blushing face into Yuki Yuichi's chest.

Girls are always more precocious than boys, especially in this world of Hokage where everyone matures early.

This isn't what I wanted, Yuichi forced me into his arms... Yuhi Kurenai made excuses to herself in her heart, then settled down and fell asleep peacefully against Yuki Yuichi.

The next morning, at dawn.

Yuki Yuichi slowly opened his eyes, and the sight of Yuhi Kurenai curled up in his arms like a kitten caused his brain to crash instantly.

I... she... sigh... no...

Yuki Yuichi hadn't fully woken from his dreams yet, but the moment he saw Yuhi Kurenai, he was wide awake.

Just then, Yuhi Kurenai smacked her lips and murmured, "I like Yuichi the best too... hehe..."

"She's even talking in her sleep..." Yuki Yuichi shook his head at Yuhi Kurenai, then turned to look at the alarm clock; it was still early for school.

Sleep a little longer!

Yuki Yuichi thought, hugging Yuhi Kurenai as he closed his eyes again.

But at this moment, Yuhi Kurenai carefully opened one eye, revealing a triumphant smile.

Sometimes, the hunter appears in the guise of the prey, just like now.

Seeing Yuki Yuichi's eyes closed, Yuhi Kurenai closed her eyes again as well.

However, she didn't notice the corner of Yuki Yuichi's mouth curling up.

That was right, sometimes the hunter appears in the guise of the prey.

He had only intended to show Yuhi Kurenai his astonishing recovery ability last night, but he hadn't expected to fall asleep without realizing it.

"Ring-a-ling~ Ring-a-ling..."

The alarm clock rang, and Yuki Yuichi and Yuhi Kurenai opened their eyes at the same time. They looked at each other, and Yuhi Kurenai rubbed her head against Yuki Yuichi's chest.

Yuki Yuichi then hugged Yuhi Kurenai and sat up.

"Kurenai, how did you end up in my bed!"

"Isn't it because Yuichi told me to come over?!" Yuhi Kurenai pouted, "Last night, you clearly told me to come find you."

"But I was already asleep when you came over."

"And you pulled me in to sleep with you!"

Although Yuhi Kurenai looked a bit angry, her tone was full of happiness.

Being with Yuichi was just too wonderful!

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Yuki Yuichi recalled his hazy memories from the night.

He did seem to have grabbed someone and held them while he slept.

Thinking of this, Yuki Yuichi couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

"I originally wanted to show you my recovery ability," Yuki Yuichi said, taking off his pajamas and pointing to his unscathed chest.

The bruises there had disappeared shortly after they returned home yesterday.

For a normal person, it would be impossible for them to vanish in less than four or five days.

One could only say that the Uzumaki Constitution was terrifyingly powerful.

Yuhi Kurenai looked at the abdominal muscles Yuki Yuichi had developed from running around and fighting all year round, swallowed hard, and reached out to touch them.

Only after she finished touching did Yuhi Kurenai realize what she had done; her face turned bright red instantly, and steam began to rise from her head.

She was a total steam-girl.

Yuki Yuichi was also stunned for a moment, then changed his clothes without a care.

Yuhi Kurenai had already run off while he was changing his clothes.

Thinking of the soft, boneless sensation of Yuhi Kurenai's body, Yuki Yuichi couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to grow up faster."

After Yuhi Kurenai finished changing, the two of them headed toward the school together.

Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning what happened that morning.

By the time they reached the classroom, most of the students had already arrived.

Seeing Yuki Yuichi and Yuhi Kurenai walk in hand-in-hand, Kakashi Hatake merely glanced up, and when the two reached him, he asked, "Shall we go?"

Sarutobi Asuma was peering in their direction, seemingly ready to follow the moment the three of them moved.

Hearing Kakashi Hatake's words, Yuki Yuichi scratched his head, "Isn't this a bit too rushed?"

"Kurenai and I just got here."

"Besides, the teacher told us to come to school every day first."

"Haven't we already come?" Kakashi Hatake looked at him in surprise.

Yuki Yuichi: "..."

Is your definition of coming to school to not even glance at the teacher...

"If the teacher arrives, it won't be easy for us to leave, right?" Seeing his bewildered expression, Kakashi Hatake explained, "The teacher can't exactly let us skip class right in front of his face, can he?"

Upon hearing this, Yuki Yuichi nodded.

It had to be said, Kakashi Hatake made a lot of sense.

"Then shall we go?" Yuki Yuichi pointed toward the window.

"Let's go!"

Kakashi Hatake jumped out first.

Yuhi Kurenai and Yuki Yuichi exchanged a look before following suit, and Sarutobi Asuma followed right behind them like a gust of wind.

Just as Yuki Yuichi was about to jump out as well, Might Guy blocked his path and said earnestly, "Yuichi, skipping class isn't very good."

"The teacher will be angry."

Might Guy spoke with great sincerity, and seeing his expression, Yuki Yuichi draped an arm over his shoulder and whispered, "The teacher is the one who told us to leave."

"Do you want to come along?"

Might Guy was stunned upon hearing this.

The teacher told them to skip class?

He understood every word Yuki Yuichi said, but put together, it made no sense.

However, confusion aside, Might Guy looked at Yuki Yuichi and, seeing he didn't seem to be joking, hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He believed that Yuki Yuichi wouldn't lie to him.

Seeing him nod, Yuki Yuichi flashed a smile.

"Then let's go together!"

With that, Yuki Yuichi jumped straight out. Seeing this, and feeling the gazes of those around him, Might Guy gritted his teeth and dashed out as well.

Although Might Duy was a perennial Genin, he had never been lax in providing his son with a proper foundation.

Therefore, Might Guy was also one of those who didn't need to attend class.

They rushed out, while Uchiha Obito was currently sprinting toward the school.
