First to leave was Fu, who had school the next day. Kurotsuchi left together with her.
Then it was Karin and Uzumaki Kasui.
Nohara Rin insisted on helping Kin finish cleaning up before leaving.
Tsunade stretched lazily and, under the stunned gazes of the older girls, once again showed off her impressive strength before slowly standing up.
"Shizune, we should head back too."
However, Shizune did not stand up with her. Instead, she lowered her head, looked at her toes, and said a little embarrassedly, "Lady Tsunade, you go back by yourself. I'm not going back tonight."
"...", Tsunade looked at her speechlessly.
Why Shizune was staying was something everyone present understood perfectly well.
It was just that Tsunade did not quite understand it, 'Could it be that having more people makes it more fun?'
'In the past, that brat had to beg for it. Now Shizune is actually rushing to stay on her own.'
She could not accept that anyway.
"Suit yourself."
Tsunade pinched Aoba's innocent face again, then left without a care.
Aoba rubbed the spot that had just been pinched, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Uzuki Yugao, Konan, Shizune, Yugito, and Kin.
The reactions of the girls varied. Some were calm and composed, others shy and blushing.
He suddenly realized that the nighttime lineup seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
Then when Mikoto, Anko, and the others all moved in as well, the scene at night would be something he did not even dare to imagine.
He would have to buy a big bed, one that could at least fit ten people.
Aoba muttered to himself inwardly.
Then he suddenly noticed someone pulling him up.
He looked blankly at Uzuki Yugao in front of him, "Yugao-nee, what is it?"
Uzuki Yugao curled her lips into a smile, "It's getting late. There's still important business later. Go take a shower."
"..."
"Then I'll head back to my room first," Already knowing what would happen next, Temari stood up and walked toward her room.
Although she also lived in this house, she still found it hard to take part in what happened at night.
Sometimes she was actually quite envious of Kin's personality. Whenever it came to Aoba, Kin was always very proactive, even proactive to a somewhat… perverted degree.
When she had first moved in, she had seen Kin secretly holding Aoba's clothes more than once.
"Ah!", Lost in thought, Temari suddenly bumped into a soft body. It felt as if she had sunk into it, making her feel momentarily suffocated, but then she bounced back two steps because of the overwhelming softness and elasticity.
"Konan-nee?"
Temari stared blankly at Konan, whom she had just bumped into. What stunned her was not why Konan had suddenly blocked her path, but the shocking elasticity just now.
'Too terrifying!'
Even if it was not as much as Lady Tsunade's, it was still far beyond that of people her age.
"Temari, do you want to sleep with us tonight?", Konan wore a faint smile, though the tips of her ears were slightly red.
Clearly, she was still a bit shy when making the invitation.
But this was the result everyone had discussed together. Otherwise, with such a big family, leaving only Temari out did not feel right.
"W-what?"
Temari widened her eyes in disbelief, "Konan-nee, what did you just say?"
"Well, the New Year is coming up, and you'll soon be… just right for us to teach you some necessary knowledge. That way, you'll have more experience when the time comes."
"B… but…", Temari's face flushed bright red. She stammered, unsure whether she was agreeing or refusing.
Konan teased her, "Alright, Temari, don't be so shy. We're all family."
Temari's face grew even redder, and she looked toward Aoba, who looked just as stunned.
Before Aoba could respond, Konan had already pulled her toward the bedroom.
———
The time reached ten in the evening. Even though they had moved through several places, only about an hour had passed.
[At Tsunade's Home]
When Aoba pushed open Tsunade's bedroom door, his expression froze.
Then he could not look away.
At that moment, Tsunade was sitting by the bed. Not only was she wearing a rare emerald-green kimono, she was also holding a pair of stockings in her hands.
When she saw him, Tsunade froze for a moment as well, but quickly recovered and shot him a pretty eye-roll.
Then she lifted her long leg and slipped her toes into the black stockings.
She did not usually wear stockings. Although they looked nice, they were a bit tight and uncomfortable.
It was only because this brat liked them, and because she had heard Karin and the others mention it tonight, that she dug out an old pair she had bought before and chose one that looked decent to wear.
Seeing the kimono she had worn before, she decided to put it on as well and give it a try.
She would treat it as an occasional benefit for this brat.
Aoba stared without blinking.
And since Tsunade had prepared this for him to see, she did not mind at all.
Only after she had pulled the stockings up past her knees did she let go.
The black stocking tops clung tightly to her thighs, leaving faint pressure marks.
"How does it feel?", Tsunade looked at him with a half-smile.
At the same time, she leaned her body forward, the heavy kimono drooping downward under gravity.
With her black-stockinged legs propped up, she rested her chin on one hand and looked at him with a smile.
Because of her forward-leaning posture, the kimono outlined her figure perfectly, her snowy white skin nearly spilling out of the neckline.
Her two black-stockinged legs overlapped, the stockings tightly hugging her calves and faintly gleaming.
Aoba responded with his actions.
Tsunade looked at this improper disciple with some helplessness, "Aren't you coming over already?"
"Oh," Aoba snapped back to his senses.
Soon after, the sound of stockings tearing rang out in the bedroom.
———
"You brat, how do you still have so much energy at this hour?"
Tsunade took a sip of water Aoba held to her lips and complained irritably.
"Well, that's because you're too beautiful, Sensei."
Aoba smiled, finished the rest of the water in one gulp, then asked curiously, "Sensei, why did you wear a kimono today?"
"I saw that it looked pretty good on you, so I wanted to try it too. It's such a hassle to put on, and now you've messed it up like this."
Tsunade complained as she looked at her slightly disheveled kimono.
'This brat really is something. He just likes it this way.'
She had nearly torn it apart herself several times earlier.
"It's fine. If you like it, Sensei, I'm confident I can help you put the kimono back on properly," Aoba said as he held her.
"Forget it. I don't want to be messed by you again."
Tsunade rejected him without hesitation.
"Then can you wear it again next time?", Aoba asked expectantly.
"Hmph! That depends on my mood," Tsunade snorted lightly, a bit tsundere.
"Alright, but no matter what you're like, Sensei, I like you," Aoba hugged her and kissed her.
"Smooth talker!"
Tsunade scolded him lightly, clearly in a good mood. Then she thought of something else, "When are Kurenai and Mikoto planning to move in?"
"Ahem! Sensei, Kurenai-nee and I only confirmed our relationship a couple of days ago," Aoba explained.
"Only just confirmed?", Tsunade looked at him in surprise, then teased, "That doesn't match your level of ability."
Aoba could not help giving her a dead-fish stare, then answered the other question, "As for Aunt Mikoto, she's currently the head of the Uchiha clan. Moving in right now wouldn't be very appropriate."
"So Mikoto plans to move in after Sasuke becomes the head of the Uchiha clan?", Tsunade asked.
Aoba shook his head, "Sasuke is still young and isn't very interested in being clan head, so the next clan head probably won't be him."
"Then who will it be?", Tsunade immediately became curious.
Aoba thought for a moment, "Most likely, it'll be Uchiha Izumi."
