Capturing the Maiden's Heart

On the border of the Land of Bears.

A young girl was training in the forest. Judging by her forehead protector, she was a ninja from the Star Hidden Village.

"Peacock Myōhō: Beast!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Purple chakra flowed from her back, forming the shape of a fierce tiger that charged into the forest.

Boom! Several trees snapped in half. This immense power was not to be underestimated!

She formed hand seals, "Peacock Myōhō: Wings!"

Butterfly-like wings spread from her back, and she soared into the sky.

Suddenly, she spotted a young boy lying by the river, seemingly injured.

Whoosh! The girl landed on the ground and turned the boy over. A handsome face came into view. The girl blushed slightly and tentatively reached out. He was still breathing. She picked up the boy and flew towards the village.

The medical bay.

The boy opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the girl by his bedside. "Who are you, and where is this?" he asked.

Seeing him awake, the girl replied with some joy, "This is the medical bay of the Star Hidden Village. Who are you, and why did you collapse by the river?"

The boy rubbed his head, frowning. "I only remember my name is Su Zheng. I can't recall anything else!"

He then took the girl's hand and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

The girl felt a bit shy. It was the first time a boy had held her hand. "My name is Summer. Just stay here and rest until you recover your memories."

She had already learned from the doctor that the boy's brain had been injured, causing his memory to be confused.

"Okay!" Su Zheng responded.

Two days later.

"Summer, what kind of ninjutsu is that?" Su Zheng asked, resting his chin on his hand as he watched her train.

"It's a secret technique. You wouldn't understand!" Summer teased.

After two days of getting to know each other, she found him very knowledgeable and aware of many places. Unlike her, who had barely left the village!

"Hmph! Don't get cocky, I have one too!" As he spoke, blue Chakra Armor lit up around Su Zheng.

Summer looked at Su Zheng, her face full of shock. "How did you do that?"

"I don't remember either. It feels like I've always known how," Su Zheng scratched his head.

Summer's imagination ran wild. "You're not that Su Zheng, are you?"

"What?" Su Zheng knew very well who she was referring to – the one who challenged the Five Kage. But he pretended not to understand.

Summer stepped forward and observed Su Zheng closely for a moment, then patted his shoulder comfortingly. "How could you possibly be that esteemed individual? Don't worry!"

Immediately, her expression turned to one of adoration. "That Su Zheng, challenging the Five Kage single-handedly and not being at a disadvantage, is truly an object of admiration!"

Su Zheng tilted his head and smiled. "Is he yours too?"

Summer raised her fist, her eyes blazing, and said firmly, "I will definitely be able to change the Star Hidden Village like that esteemed individual!"

"Oh? How much do you know about him?" Su Zheng asked playfully.

"That esteemed individual graduated from the Ninja Academy at 10, eradicated the Gray Rain Clan at 12, and after the war ended, he reformed the country. Now, the Land of Rain is a very prosperous nation."

"Furthermore, not long ago, he challenged the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and was not at a disadvantage at all, earning a great reputation and making all those who dared to covet the Land of Rain abandon their intentions..."

Ever since Su Zheng's battle with the Five Kage, his past experiences had been unearthed and spread throughout the Ninja World!

Watching her speak so eloquently, Su Zheng felt quite happy. He had transmigrated and changed many things, but his power was limited. Villages like the Star Hidden Village were still following the path of developing ninjas...

Although ensuring survival first was necessary for development, they were like struggling in a quagmire, unable to control their own destinies!

This was the fate of small countries, and the sorrow of small villages!

Su Zheng stepped forward and, amidst her flustered gaze, pulled her into an embrace!

After a long while, Summer pushed Su Zheng away, gasping for breath. Her face was already flushed red. "You're so wicked," she murmured. "I like you, but you can't do this!"

Su Zheng directly gave her a "head pat." The pouting lips of the girl gradually relaxed.

It was strange, really. Ever since Su Zheng's Rinnegan evolved, his aura had been subtly exuding charm. He himself couldn't feel it, but Tsunade and the others felt it deeply...

Whenever they got close to Su Zheng, they would go limp. According to them, he possessed a sunny, warm aura that was intoxicating!

After only two days of interacting with Summer, she had no resistance left!

The parts of her body damaged by the meteorite had already been healed by Su Zheng using Yin-Yang Release. As for others, they would have to fend for themselves!

Similarly, in places they didn't know, every time Konan saw that vibrant color, she would tremble, feeling both curious and fearful...

"Hmph! You're so wicked..." the girl said, a little shyly annoyed.

The wind began to blow, and the girl's thoughts churned. This moment, for them, was eternal!
