Mirai nodded. "She's the most beautiful woman in the Land of Lightning. Ren Julie is second—no, Yugito is second... By the way, how did you get to the Land of Water?"
Yugito was equally startled. She had never expected to run into Mirai here. She smiled at first, then her face suddenly flushed red, and she began to stammer. "I... I came... to find you..."
"F-Find me?" Mirai thought. You're beautiful, but we only met once. Why did you want to see me? Did you fall for my well-proportioned figure and handsome face? Hehehe...
The more Yugito spoke, the redder her face became. "Ah, and... no, he wants to see you. I came with him..."
Mirai was puzzled. Who was he? "He's in this room?"
Mirai had thought there would be another woman in the room, but the moment he opened the door, a man's voice drifted out, gentle and magnetic. "What is it, Yugito...?"
As the door opened, the two of them came face-to-face. They shouted at the same time!
"Huh? Minato!!!"
"Oh? Mirai!!!"
"Why are you here?"
Master and disciple spoke in unison, neither knowing who should speak first or who should answer first.
Mirai hooked an arm around Minato's neck and said with a wicked grin, "You little rascal, huh? Usually, you're one of the ten great good men. I never would've thought... Hehehehe..."
Minato realized his teacher had misunderstood and wanted to explain.
Before he could speak, Mirai curled his lips into a cold smile and whispered into his ear, "Fine, don't explain. After all, it's late at night, and you're alone with a woman. Oh... and her hair is still wet. You're something else, Minato... But don't worry, Xixi and I won't tell Kushina... Hehehe."
"No, it's not what you think, Xixi. This is complicated.
