I Can Live with You, but You Can't Take Off Your Clothes to Sleep

"Don't worry, Hinata. I'm here. I'll keep a close eye on Kanami."

Tsunade said with a smile.

However, Hinata Hyuga gave Tsunade a gloomy look.

It seemed to say, I don't even trust you...

Tsunade, sensing Hinata's gaze, was startled.

I'm already over fifty. Could Kanami possibly have designs on me?

"How many sensory ninja did Sunagakure send this time?"

Seeing that the atmosphere around them was still rather awkward, Kanami directly changed the subject.

The moment Temari heard Sunagakure mentioned, she snapped back to attention. "Reporting to Lord Kanami, Sunagakure sent three powerful sensory ninja from our village. As for me, I'm responsible for delivering letters for them, things like messages home... so I might be staying for quite a while."

As she said this, she looked somewhat embarrassed.

She also felt that her excuse was rather flimsy.

But Kanami understood.

Kanami quickly realized it.

She was here for Shikamaru Nara!

Otherwise, he couldn't understand why Temari would leave the place she was used to living in at Sunagakure to stay in Konoha long-term.

"Alright. Do you need us to arrange accommodations for you?"

Kanami spoke with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Temari hurriedly shook her head. "No, no. I'll figure something out myself."

"Oh, I heard Shikamaru mention before that there were quite a few empty rooms in his home. I thought that if you didn't mind, you could stay there. After all, you two are fairly familiar with each other."

"Since you've already made your own arrangements, then forget it."

Kanami said regretfully.

Temari froze.

"Huh?"

Shikamaru?!

"Wait!"

She hurriedly stopped Kanami. "After thinking it over carefully, it's better if you arrange it after all. I'm not very familiar with this place, so staying at Shikamaru's home is fine too, as long as there's room."
