"I'll take you out to eat. What do you want?"
Wuye had no intention of filling Temari's head with political ideas too early. The most important thing right now was to spend time softening her up, corrupting her, and winning her over!
"Aren't you supposed to know everything?"
Temari couldn't help snapping back, "Then go on, guess what I want to eat!"
"Let me think..."
Wuye pretended to ponder seriously, then said with great conviction, "Sand Village is in the desert, so you definitely can't get seafood. Therefore, I'm guessing you must love octopus and squid!"
"W-what?"
Temari stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Good! It's decided, then! Octopus balls and squid balls!"
Wuye grabbed her little hand and started walking.
"Wait! Wait! Those are the foods I hate most!" Temari struggled.
Ignoring her entirely, Wuye dragged her into a restaurant. "Stop pretending. I definitely guessed right, didn't I?"
"Hokage-sama!"
The waitress in the restaurant bowed respectfully, instinctively turning a blind eye to the girl whose hand he was holding.
Wuye nodded, then took the menu and pointed around at random. "This, this, and this!"
"Yes, I'll have them prepared immediately." The waitress bowed again and withdrew.
Temari slumped lifelessly onto the table. "I can't believe my first meal in Konoha is going to be the food I hate most..."
Wuye glanced at her and smiled without saying a word.
"Hokage-sama, here are the chestnuts and tofu soup you ordered. Please enjoy."
Not long after, the waitress brought over a tray.
Temari's ears immediately perked up. She sat bolt upright, blinking at the soup and chestnuts on the table. "It's not squid and octopus?"
"Of course not. You're my prisoner. Why would I feed a prisoner something she likes?" Wuye said casually.
Temari stared at him without saying a word.
"What's wrong?
