Su Yu's Test

Tsunade's medical ninja notes, the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, Su Yu's help, plus payment for every piece of intelligence she provided.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, Temari held out her hand.

"I accept."

"The first piece of intelligence I want is the number and location of the people in Hoshigakure, as well as the village's strength. That information is worth one hundred thousand ryō." Su Yu took out one hundred thousand ryō and handed it to Temari.

"This won't be a difficult mission. I can get you the information within three days. But where do you want me to send it?" Temari took the money and asked.

"The Land of Waves. I bought a large piece of land by the sea," Su Yu replied.

"I heard there's a ninja village in the Land of Waves, too. Do you have something to do with it?" Temari paused.

"It has nothing to do with me for now." Su Yu shook his head.

Temari understood what Su Yu meant.

Just because it had nothing to do with him for now didn't mean it would always be that way.

The Land of Waves was a small, separate island, easy to control. Gato in the past and the ninja village now had both made a lot of money through the Land of Waves.

The difference was that the former had been too greedy, while the latter was more moderate.

"Tomorrow, we'll go straight to the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran. I know the Fourth Hokage placed a seal there. I want to know what it is." Su Yu looked at Temari.

"That's no problem. We've already studied the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran. There's nothing valuable there," Temari said softly.

"If so, would you sell them to me?" Su Yu considered for a moment.

"Sell them to you?" Temari was stunned.

"I want to learn about the civilization of that era," Su Yu said slowly.

"This..."

"One million ryō. Sunagakure can keep the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran. I'll take responsibility for studying and reinforcing the seal." Su Yu named his price.

Temari thought it over and nodded.

"I can't make that decision myself. But I'll tell Gaara. Sunagakure is short on funds, so I don't think there'll be a problem."

"This is the Wind Release Chakra Mode I developed. You're a wind-style ninja, so you should be able to learn it, too." Su Yu took out a scroll and handed it to Temari.

"Wind Release Chakra Mode?" Temari asked curiously as she took it.

She opened it and was immediately startled.

Then she looked up at Su Yu.

"Can you really give this to me?"

Temari could tell that the Wind Power in this Wind Release Chakra Mode was like Lady Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength. For a wind-style ninja like her, mastering it would multiply her strength.

It could take her from an ordinary jonin to an elite jonin.

"You can have it, but I won't give it to you for free." As he spoke, Su Yu slowly approached Temari.

Temari's face flushed, and she closed her eyes.

Su Yu gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

"It's yours now."

"Thank you. I won't give it to the village," Temari promised.

"You can give it to your child," Su Yu said casually.

At his words, Temari's face turned bright red.

She stood up and looked at Su Yu.

"You're such a rascal."

Su Yu was taken aback. What was wrong?

A few seconds later,

he finally realized that Temari had misunderstood what he meant.

By the time Hinata Hyuga arrived,

it was already completely dark.

Temari was in her room, studying how to practice the Wind Release Chakra Mode.

Su Yu sat alone at a low table.

Hinata Hyuga came to sit across from Su Yu, carrying a backpack.

Su Yu put down the book in his hands and looked at Hinata Hyuga.

Hinata Hyuga lowered her head shyly.

"I've prepared a new yukata for you. Go change into it," Su Yu said.

"Mm." At the mention of the yukata, Hinata Hyuga blushed even more.

She headed toward Su Yu's room and saw the yukata laid out beside the bed.

She put her backpack on the table.

Hugging the yukata, Hinata Hyuga headed toward the bathroom.

As she passed Su Yu, she blushed and turned her little head toward him.

An hour later,

Hinata Hyuga returned.

A faint fragrance followed her as she walked over.

She wore a white yukata patterned with cherry blossoms, and it suited her perfectly.

Hinata Hyuga was the young lady of the Hyuga Clan. That air of refinement wasn't something she could acquire in a day or two. It had been cultivated over time; she had been learning those manners since childhood.

Su Yu looked Hinata Hyuga over.

Hinata Hyuga came to stand across from Su Yu and bowed to him.

"P-please take good care of me."

"We're not married yet, so you don't have to be so formal."

Su Yu teased her.

"Father said that from now on, I should think of Su Yu as... as..."

"As what?" Su Yu came up to Hinata Hyuga and looked at her with a smile.

"My... my husband." Her voice was barely audible.

"I didn't hear you." Su Yu moved closer to her.

Hinata Hyuga was too embarrassed to lift her head, let alone say it a second time.

"Ever since I met you, I've known in my heart that I wanted to make you mine." Su Yu picked her up.

"Su Yu..." Hinata Hyuga was very shy.

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. I just want to tease you a little," Su Yu whispered.

Hinata Hyuga's face was burning.

Holding her, Su Yu headed toward his room.

He had only taken a few steps

when he stopped.

Temari had appeared in front of him.

Seeing Su Yu carrying Hinata Hyuga, Temari froze for a few seconds, then hurried back to her room.

At the sound, Hinata Hyuga turned toward the hallway in confusion.

"Temari from Sunagakure is staying at my house. Lord Hokage asked me to protect her," Su Yu briefly explained.

"I see." Hinata Hyuga's face was faintly red.

"Aren't you jealous?" Su Yu looked at her and asked tentatively.

"I trust you, Su Yu." Hinata Hyuga raised her head and looked at him with a pure gaze.

"I think Temari is beautiful. If you don't mind me dating her..."

"I... I..."

Su Yu looked at Hinata Hyuga, who couldn't find the words, and smiled broadly.

Hinata Hyuga hesitated, then looked at Su Yu.

"As long as you don't bring her home, I can accept it."

"Do you mean that?"

Su Yu was taken aback.

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

"What if I bring them home?" Su Yu continued to test her.

"Them?" Hinata Hyuga was stunned.

"Ahem. Answer my question." Su Yu changed the subject outright.

"If there are children, the Hyuga Clan will take in the bloodline left outside," Hinata Hyuga said softly.

"I see." Su Yu understood at once.

The Hyuga Clan probably had similar situations, with clan ninja fathering children outside the clan and bringing them back.

"Father said you'll be the future clan head, and I'll be your wife. I should learn to listen to you. Even if you have other women outside the clan, I should turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know." Hinata Hyuga looked at Su Yu with the same pure gaze.

Su Yu looked at her, lowered his head, and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

"Thank you, Hinata."
