In an easygoing tone, he held out a hand to Hinata. "Hinata, come here!"
Uchiha Yin smiled as he spoke, his expression so gentle that Hinata relaxed considerably.
She obediently slipped down from Samui's arms and walked over to Uchiha Yin.
Uchiha Yin looked at the little girl standing by his feet, found her adorable, and lifted her into his arms.
When he looked up, Samui was still standing stiffly at the door of the Hokage Office, at a loss.
Uchiha Yin couldn't help laughing. Samui was usually so levelheaded, with a cool expression to match. Seeing her like this was a rare sight.
He couldn't resist looking at her a little longer, and even chuckled.
He meant nothing by it, but Kaguya saw it differently.
She thought Uchiha Yin had taken a special interest in Samui. Jealousy stirred, and the look she gave him turned sharp.
Uchiha Yin was still enjoying himself when a chill suddenly ran down his back. He glanced over and met Kaguya's murderous gaze.
As if he had finally realized what was wrong, he hurriedly wiped the smile from his face and put on a businesslike expression.
Neither Samui nor Minato Namikaze missed their exchange. Minato felt nothing in particular, though he was delighted to see the man who always worked him so hard looking flustered. He watched with a cheerful grin.
Samui should have felt relieved once Uchiha Yin's attention left her. But after seeing the exchange between them, she felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest.
Her embarrassment vanished at once, leaving only a cool, composed expression.
Even when she had been flustered, Samui had tried to keep her usual cool expression. Now that she had completely calmed down, the change in her face was almost imperceptible.
Uchiha Yin didn't notice it, even
