Building a Cabin

"Of course." Nami nodded matter-of-factly, then gently broke free from Mingyou's embrace. "Now... I'm going to give you your second punishment."

"Now? Okay, come on then." Mingyou closed his eyes, resigned.

Since this little aunt wanted to get all her revenge at once, he'd let her have her fill.

For some reason, he didn't feel any pain for a long time, and Mingyou opened his eyes in confusion.

Looking at what was happening before him, Mingyou stood there, dumbfounded.

Nami's pretty face was slowly approaching his, her big eyes staring at Mingyou, her eyelashes fluttering.

Seemingly because she was too shy, a blush rose on her cheeks, making her look especially adorable.

Finally, Nami's red lips gently touched Mingyou's mouth, she closed her eyes, and kissed Mingyou's lips somewhat awkwardly.

Mingyou stood there, dumbfounded, feeling a current run from his lips straight to his brain.

Mingyou took a deep breath, his heart pounding as if it had soared past 300 mph.

So, this was the raw, electrifying sensation of a girl shyly offering her first kiss.

It was only at this moment that Mingyou finally understood that the punishment Nami spoke of was this kind of punishment.

At this moment, Mingyou just wanted to raise his head and shout to the sky.

Heavens above!

Let this punishment come even more fiercely!

I'm willing to be punished to death!

Nami seemed to have already guessed what Mingyou was thinking.

She raised her delicate hand and gently rested it on Mingyou's shoulders.

Pushing Mingyou gently to the ground.

Then she took off her clothes.

And sat on Mingyou.

From noon until sunset, the two of them hugged each other tightly, enjoying this moment of warmth and joy.

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Nami broke free from Mingyou's embrace, grabbed the clothes beside her, and began to put them on.

"Get up quickly, we should go back, or Grandpa and the others will worry."

"Oh, now you're worried? Didn't see you worrying about that when you ran out just now." Mingyou chuckled mischievously, looking at the spots of red on the ground, his heart filled with even more tenderness for Nami.

Nami snorted softly, stood up, and began to urge, "It's all because you made me angry, hurry up and get up."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I don't want to stay here and feed the mosquitoes."

Mingyou also stood up and began to tidy his clothes. Although being in a gentle embrace was very comfortable, there were just too many mosquitoes in this forest.

The size of those mosquitoes was almost as big as flies.

When Mingyou brought Nami back safely, the clansmen had already finished setting up the tents.

Many had even started lighting bonfires and were cooking for the clansmen who had gone out to cut wood.

"Young Clan Leader, you're back."

"Greetings, Young Clan Leader."

As Mingyou passed by the tents, the clansmen would eagerly greet Mingyou.

Mingyou naturally nodded in response to each of them, leading Nami towards the foot of the mountain.

Soon, Mingyou saw Uchiha Mikoto sitting outside the tent, chatting and laughing with Samui.

Seeing how enthusiastic the two of them were, it seemed that they had become familiar with each other after half a day.

That was just as well, saving Mingyou from having to worry about Samui's relationship with the clansmen.

With his mother Mikoto as a guide, Samui would definitely slowly integrate into the clan.

"Oh, Nami's back, why were you gone for so long?"

Mikoto saw Mingyou and Nami returning hand in hand from afar.

Her mouth was full of smiles, and she waved to signal Nami to come and sit next to her.

"Aunt Mikoto."

Nami called out sweetly, obediently ran to Mikoto's side, and sat down, holding her arm.

Although she still didn't like Samui very much, she didn't show any particularly obvious hostility.

"Mingyou, your father was just looking for you, go and see what he wants."

Mikoto winked at Mingyou and nodded towards the direction where Uchiha Fugaku was.

"Ah? Oh, okay."

Mingyou immediately understood. It seemed that his mother was trying to help him reconcile the relationship between his two wives.

Sigh...

Mingyou couldn't help but sigh, having such an understanding mother was truly wonderful.

Immediately, Mingyou didn't linger and walked toward Fugaku, who was helping to build houses.

It had to be said that the efficiency of over 100 ninja laborers was ridiculously high.

In just a single day, five wooden houses had already been built at the outer edge of the foot of the mountain.

Of course, these wooden houses weren't too fancy.

They were just basic wooden houses, with wooden boards dividing them into several rooms, and a thick layer of wooden planks laid on the ground.

But in this deserted island environment, no one was comparing beauty; having these wooden houses to shelter from the wind and rain was definitely enough.

Fugaku was currently holding a large hammer, building a fence around the outside of a wooden house.

Mingyou walked up and gently patted him on the shoulder, "Father, did you want to see me?"

"Oh, Mingyou's back." Fugaku's lips curled into a smile as he put down the hammer in his hand. "Let's go, it's been a while since we talked, just the two of us."

As he spoke, Fugaku called out to Soki, who was still busy behind the wooden house, "Elder, take a break, let's call it a day."

"Huh?" The Great Elder poked his head out from behind the wooden house and glanced at the front yard.

When he saw that it was Mingyou who had arrived, he immediately understood what was going on.

Fugaku walked over to the newly laid wooden steps and sat down, gently patting the empty space beside him, "Mingyou, come sit."

"Okay." Mingyou nodded in agreement. He naturally knew very well that these two definitely wanted to know the detailed process of his trip to the Land of Hot Springs.

After the Great Elder also came over and sat down, Mingyou didn't wait for them to ask and slowly began to speak, "After entering the Land of Hot Springs that day, I went to the Daimyo's residence and saw the four Kage..."

Mingyou slowly narrated, giving a rough account of what happened.

After Fugaku and Soki heard about the Fourth Raikage's schemes and calculations, they were so angry that they slammed their fists on the floor, venting the anger in their hearts.

Although one was a mature and steady clan leader, and the other was a deeply experienced Great Elder, they still couldn't control their emotions.

This showed just how hateful the Raikage's insidiousness and cunning were.

After a long while, Fugaku finally calmed down, "Mingyou, so are you planning to have the Uchiha Clan settle on this deserted island in the Land of Water?"

Mingyou nodded, "That's right, right now, besides the Fifth Mizukage 'Mei Terumī', no one knows we Uchiha are here."
