With their morning exercise over, Xuandou lay back, refreshed and pleased with himself.
To his left, Tsunade rose without a hint of embarrassment and washed herself with lake water, a perfect picture of a fairy bathing in a lake.
To his right, Kazahana Koyuki's head was swimming. Her eyes closed, she nestled against Xuandou's shoulder...
