Nodding, Inuzuka Furin, accompanied by her Ninja Dog dog, remained silent, but her gesture conveyed her agreement.
Without answering her friend's question, Uka Senju directly stuffed the money into their arms.
He didn't want to explain; he just wanted the two of them to take it quickly and stop refusing.
But the sensation in his left hand told him that he had gotten into trouble again!
As he quickly withdrew his hand, he secretly glanced to his left.
When he saw Furin's face turn red instantly, he quickly looked to his right.
He watched as Aburame Kaun, looked down and hurriedly gathered her money, startled by his sudden movement.
He immediately felt a sense of relief.
"Thank goodness, he didn't see it."
"Then there's still a chance to resolve this awkward situation!"
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's not a big deal!"
Having confirmed this information, I made up my mind.
He didn't look at the Furin again, but calmly explained to Kaun, who was collecting the money, "You all know my situation."
" The Clan's share was all donated to the Senju Relief Hall, so that share can also be considered mine. You should keep it and not refuse it."
After saying that, seeing Kaun still holding the money and wanting to say something, he quickly spoke up again, "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal, stop dawdling and get to the point!"
"Let's call it a night. You haven't slept well for a month, so hurry home and get a couple of days of rest. You only have seven days to rest!"
"Let's confirm how many people are in the village via communications on the 3rd, and then confirm the date for our get-together!"
Judging from Uka's expression, she knew that he had made up his mind.
Having understood her personality, the Aburame Kaun gave up the idea of continuing the conversation.
At worst, we can just add some money and give Uka a bigger gift for her birthday later!
Having made up his mind, and after listening to Uka's next arrangements, he thought for a moment and said, "Meeting at the 3rd is fine. Get some rest today, and I'll go ask about Yoshino and Kurama's situation tomorrow."
Seeing that her friend wasn't dwelling on the matter, she started talking about a gathering instead.
Uka Senju nodded and said, "I'll go check on Hatake and Harumi."
"Let's call it a day then. It's close to your home, so you can go back and see your family first."
"You've been gone for a month, your family must be quite worried about you!"
"Okay!" After replying, Aburame Kaun immediately wanted to return home, thinking of her family.
He stuffed the money into his Ninja Tool Pouch, waved to the two of them, and glanced at Furin, whose face was slightly flushed, without giving it much thought.
He turned and ran towards the land of the Aburame.
Having successfully distracted one person, Uka Senju, as usual, turned around, waved her hand, and calmly said, "Let's go!"
"Mmm~," she responded softly.
Putting away the money, Inuzuka Furin followed behind the person whose ears were red but who was unaware of it, heading towards the clan's territory.
The two tribes are in the same direction and not far apart.
So the route back from the Mission Center was straightforward.
As they continued on their way, Brown and White wondered what was wrong with the two of them and why they weren't saying anything.
It would run a few steps ahead, tilt its head to look around, and then stop to look at its owner behind it.
Looking at the two people who had both fallen silent.
Unable to understand why, it gradually became completely absorbed by the food stalls on the street.
Walk through a small alley and you'll reach the vicinity of the Inuzuka Clan Compound.
"We're... we're here!" After a pause, Uka Senju rubbed her nose somewhat awkwardly to regain her composure.
He turned to the person behind him and gave them what he thought was a perfectly fine smile, saying, " Furin I'll head back now."
"Don't train these next few days, just get some rest!"
Nodding upon hearing this, Inuzuka Furin, her face still flushed, waved goodbye obediently as usual.
Just as Uka Senju turned to leave...
I pondered this all the way, and also briefly exchanged ideas with my best friend.
Having confirmed her feelings and agreed to join a mahjong game, she softly said in her sweet voice, " Uka-kun, don't be embarrassed with me."
It's the same no matter what the situation.
"I didn't feel unhappy or unwilling when I was in contact with you."
After speaking, I felt as if I hadn't explained things very clearly.
Her voice rose slightly, and with a determined look in her eyes, she added, "My opinion remains the same as before."
Even knowing your situation, nothing has changed!
Upon hearing these words, Uka Senju's previous unease and awkwardness vanished instantly.
He turned to look at the person who had suddenly spoken so frankly.
For a moment, he really didn't know what to say!
Because he was clear about his own situation and his own feelings.
He now has three Fiancée, and his time and heart are divided into three parts!
He and Chiharu had known each other since childhood, and he was used to having her by his side.
It's that feeling of unease that comes with not having this person around.
As for Maki and Tsunade, one was someone she had never met before, but after spending more than a year together...
He discovered that she was also a very nice girl.
She was a wonderful girl he would never have met in his previous life.
So even though it was arranged by his Clan, deep down he was actually... willing!
And Tsunade, that person.
He was inevitably influenced by preconceived notions from his past life.
However, more than a year has passed.
He also found something even more endearing about him than in the original story!
As for Furin, whom I've known for four years!
This is the person who has always stood silently by my side, and we only met again after more than a year of hard training to form a team.
He seemed to have grown accustomed to those large, silent eyes watching him.
And in each and every " Uka-kun," there was an unconditional favoritism...!
This habit, combined with his own circumstances, had led him to act like an ostrich for a long time.
He buried his head in the sand, completely absorbed in the moment, but never wanted to look up and face the world.
But now, they've already raised their heads first.
So... I'm going to have to bury myself?
... All right!
He's a scumbag, that's all.
He's just a greedy person who doesn't want to let go of anyone!
This will definitely let down Chiharu, Maki, and Tsunade... But there's always a way out, we can deal with the problems later!
We can't possibly hurt the Furin's feelings now, can we?
With this thought in mind, looking at the brown-haired, black-eyed man with two red paint marks on his cheeks, he didn't lower his head as usual after speaking.
Instead, it was someone who was looking firmly at him with those big, bright eyes.
Uka Senju smiled, placed her hand on the brown hair, ruffled it vigorously, and whispered, "Hmm, I understand."
Upon hearing this answer, Inuzuka Furin's large eyes involuntarily curved into two crescent moons.
Her face flushed even more because of Uka's actions!
She stood beside this man, watching him silently for four years.
