"How long will you be gone?"
Kaguya leaned against Wuye's chest and suddenly asked softly.
Hyuga Wuye paused. "Don't you want to leave the village with me?"
"No..."
Kaguya lowered her eyes and said quietly, "You have things you need to do, and I'm still the clan head of the Hyuga Clan. Being too willful would only cause trouble for both of us."
