Uzuki Yugao's Stirring Heart

"After I healed them, they left..." Rikuto shrugged and said, "They should be back in the village now, reunited with their children!"

That's great!

Soon--

A sumptuous dinner is ready.

Nanako Uzumaki, Rikuto, Uzuki Yugao, and Amaru finished their dinner.

We sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.

"By the way, Rikuto, I've found a new place, and I should be moving out soon..." Nanako Uzumaki said to Rikuto with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help these past two years!"

She felt it was because she lived there.

These days, Rikuto has rarely returned home since he came back to Konoha from outside.

Therefore, I plan to move out as soon as possible.

"Hmm, that's fine too..."

Rikuto smiled and nodded, "I'll bring Karin back with me then, so she can familiarize herself with the house and won't get lost when she comes back..."

Because he brought Karin back a month ago.

Nanako Uzumaki had already mentioned to him and Karin that she wanted to buy a house and settle down.

Therefore, respecting the other person's inner thoughts, he did not try to dissuade them further.

After all these years, Nanako Uzumaki has been carrying Karin, this burden, on her own, running around everywhere.

They lived a life of constant wandering and uncertainty.

It's inevitable that some people will feel insecure.

For her, who had always lived as a dependent, this was a difficult situation.

To be able to own a house of one's own in the village.

It's undoubtedly equivalent to having your own home.

This is not a bad thing.

Chapter 200: The Heart-Fluttering Uzuki Yugao [Third Update]

Under the silvery moonlight.

The lights in each house have gradually gone out.

On the street, two figures walked side by side.

Despite Uzuki Yugao's repeated refusals, Rikuto still took the initiative to escort her home.

Occasionally, Konoha Military Police Force officers or Anbu would notice the two, staring in surprise at Rikuto beside Uzuki Yugao, but they would not approach to disturb them.

The two chatted casually.

"I heard from Sister Kurenai that they went on a mission with Sister Yugao last time?" Looking at Uzuki Yugao's beautiful face, Rikuto asked with a smile.

"That's true, but unfortunately I couldn't be of much help. It was all thanks to Senior Kurenai and Senior Anko!" Uzuki Yugao's face was slightly flushed.

Thinking back to the last mission.

A sense of sadness and helplessness welled up inside her.

She joined the Anbu at a young age, and at one time, she was very proud.

However, he was completely unable to help when he encountered Raiga Kurosuki and Zabuza, two of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure.

Even so, they could Zabuza hold off Zabuza's subordinate from the Yuki Clan of the Land of Water, who possessed the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, along with Hana Inuzuka.

This was indeed a significant blow to her.

"Sister Yugao, there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself. After all, you're one of the two Seven Swords of Kirigakure..."

Rikuto smiled and comforted him.

Uzuki Yugao's swordsmanship is alright, but nothing special.

Even his own strength wasn't particularly outstanding Jonin Konoha's Jonin.

He was only chosen for the Anbu because of his outstanding performance in observation, infiltration, and perception.

As a supplementary member of Uchiha Itachi's team.

"Speaking of which, we really Rikuto you a lot at the border last time!"

Uzuki Yugao paused in her steps.

Gazing at Rikuto's handsome face, her beautiful eyes slightly dazed, she chuckled softly and said, "If I hadn't happened to run into you, I'm afraid I would be in grave danger!"

Thinking back to the time more than half a year ago when he was on a mission, he was seriously injured and unconscious, but was able to save his life thanks to the treatment from the Rikuto.

Her pretty face flushed slightly.

Because of the wound, he was afraid that the boy in front of him had seen everything about him, inside and out.

Although it is said that doctors do not have taboos.

But whenever she thinks about it, she can't help but feel a little shy.

It's really hard to imagine.

Rikuto has just turned ten.

They possessed such incredible strength and methods.

There was a time when Kurenai Yuhi and Anko weren't necessarily much stronger than him.

But with the help of the Rikuto, things changed dramatically in a short period of time.

He can even possess powers like Kekkei Genkai.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had a chance to express my gratitude to you..." Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Uzuki Yugao asked with a smile, "I happen to have a day off tomorrow, Rikuto, are you free?"

"Sister Yugao, are you going to treat me to a meal?"

Rikuto raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Uzuki Yugao and said with a smile, "If it's something you made yourself, Sister Yugao, then I'll have time!"

"Okay, if you like it, I'll make it for you myself..."

Uzuki Yugao was slightly taken aback.

With her crescent-shaped eyes narrowed, she smiled and said, "However, my cooking skills are not as good as Miss Nanako's, I hope you won't mind!"

She heard that Rikuto really like to eat barbecue.

I originally intended to treat them to a barbecue.

"Of course not..."

Rikuto smiled slightly.

How could he not be attracted to a beauty like Uzuki Yugao?

I was just too busy the other day and didn't have a chance.

"Then it's settled. My house is just up ahead..."

Uzuki Yugao brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, gazed at the incredibly handsome young man before her, and smiled, "Remember to come to my house tomorrow at noon, Rikuto!"

"I can't wait..."

Rikuto laughed.

He followed beside Uzuki Yugao and casually asked, "Sister Yugao, a pretty girl like you must have a lot of suitors, right?"

"No way..."

Uzuki Yugao blushed.

During her time at the Ninja Academy, she certainly had many suitors.

Even now, quite a few Konoha ninjas are pursuing her.

But she politely declined them all.

"I remember seeing a pale-faced young man wearing a Chunin vest in the village before; he often followed you around..."

Rikuto remembered encountering Uzuki Yugao several times in the village.

The guy named Gekko Hayate often followed her around.

"You mean Hayate?"

Uzuki Yugao smiled and said, "We are childhood friends... His father and my father were teammates, but both of them sacrificed themselves during the Third Shinobi World War."

That brings us to this.

Uzuki Yugao somewhat somber.

But things quickly calmed down.

After all this time, she's gotten used to it.

Rikuto raised an eyebrow and asked, "So he's your boyfriend Sister Yugao?"

"No, of course not..."

Uzuki Yugao shook her head and said, "I only see him as an older brother!"

"But Hayate..."

Thinking of that sickly childhood sweetheart.

She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Because she also noticed that the way Gekko Hayate looked at her on ordinary days always carried a special emotion.

· ··Requesting flowers·· ·····

However, she truly only regarded him as an older brother.

But I'm also afraid that if I speak too bluntly, I might hurt the other person.

Gekko Hayate was already in poor health.

I was afraid he would overthink it.

"But he seems to have some feelings for you, doesn't he?"

Rikuto understood and said directly.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Uzuki Yugao smiled and pointed to the house in front of her, "This is my home..."

Not too big.

It is a detached, single-story house.

In terms of location, it's even worse than where Rikuto and Kurenai Yuhi live.

"Remember not to mistake him for someone else!" Uzuki Yugao smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing at the handsome young man. "Rikuto, be careful on your way back!"

"I've got it, I won't make a mistake..."

0...

Rikuto blinked and chuckled, "Besides, I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get back!"

"..."

Uzuki Yugao was speechless.

Looking at the boy before her, she couldn't help but shrug helplessly. "Alright, I almost forgot, Rikuto is a genius. He's even mastered the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Sister Yugao, you're wrong. The Flying Thunder God Technique was developed by the Second Hokage, not the Fourth..."

Rikuto habitually protects the copyright of his "second grandfather".

Tsunade's second grandfather, isn't that her second grandfather?

No problem.
