Orochimaru's face flushed, and she said, "Occasionally… I occasionally wear them…"
She certainly wouldn't say it was because she saw how much they liked them that she wore them.
Of course, she didn't wear them every day, just occasionally.
Stockings were too easily damaged. Over-the-knee stockings were fine, but full-body tights were troublesome in every sense.
She didn't even know how many pairs had been torn recently.
"You make it hard for me to concentrate."
Orochimaru looked down, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, at Ichikishimahime, whose little hands were not being very obedient.
"Shall we do it?"
Ichikishimahime turned around, straddled Orochimaru's lap, and looked at her with desire.
"I've been thinking about you the whole time I was back at Ryūchi Cave!"
"Are you thinking about me or about that kind of thing?"
Orochimaru touched Ichikishimahime's cheek, always feeling that her desire for her outweighed her affection.
"Both!"
Ichikishimahime kissed Orochimaru's neck, then extended her pink snake tongue to lick her beautifully sculpted collarbone.
"I still have important things to do. Tonight, perhaps…"
Orochimaru trembled slightly, her pen falling onto the table. She looked helplessly at Ichikishimahime, this thousand-year-old loli, who was already misbehaving right after returning from Ryūchi Cave.
The design drawing she was working on was for White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company's latest model of car, with a more sports car-like appearance, but the interior space couldn't be too small.
The older model cars could have some offensive features removed and focus on defensive capabilities, selling them to the wealthy. This way, there would be no need to worry about the company's cars being used as weapons.
The authentication feature, created with the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique, was not so easily broken.
"No!"
Ichikishimahime wrapped her arms around Orochimaru's neck and kissed her lips.
Orochimaru wrapped her arms around Ichikishimahime's waist, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She stood up, carrying her, and walked towards the bed.
Tear—
The sound of stockings being torn ripped through the air, followed by the sound of Ichikishimahime being spanked.
"Ah! Why did you hit me?!"
"I knew this would happen!"
"But, tearing them is so satisfying!"
Half an hour later… Orochimaru held Ichikishimahime's slightly trembling, small body.
Two pairs of porcelain white pointed horns were particularly conspicuous in her dark hair. She kissed away the physiological tears from Ichikishimahime's eyes, and her white snake tail was stained with a somewhat viscous liquid.
"Satisfied?"
"N-no, I'll get the rest back tonight, tonight…"
Ichikishimahime was breathing slightly, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"Get it back?"
Orochimaru was surprised. Was this something that needed to be "gotten back"?
It wasn't like collecting a debt!
"That's right, I'm taking it back! During the time I went back to Ryūchi Cave, you don't know how many times you've done it!"
"..."
Orochimaru looked speechlessly at Ichikishimahime's expression, which seemed to say, 'Wouldn't I be losing out if I didn't take it back?'
---
Uchiha Hikaji arrived at the Hokage Office with an apprehensive heart, wondering to himself that no one in the Uchiha Military Police Force was causing trouble; with the war just over, everyone was enjoying a rare peace.
Who would go looking for trouble at a time like this?
"Hokage-sama, may I ask why you've sent for me?"
Uchiha Hikaji was already prepared to hear bad news.
"Hikaji, I have proposed in the meeting for you to become the Assistant Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the somewhat apprehensive Uchiha Hikaji and said with a smile.
"What?!"
Uchiha Hikaji was stunned, doubting if something was wrong with his ears.
"Hokage-sama, you... you're not joking, are you? This joke isn't funny! The Uchiha Military Police Force already has enough power; how can you let me be the Assistant Hokage?"
Uchiha Hikaji knew very well what the consequences of having too much power in one's hands would be. If he and the elders hadn't kept those restless fellows in check, the Uchiha Military Police Force might have been turned into a chaotic mess by them.
"The Uchiha Clan's contributions to Konoha during the war are obvious to all. Hikaji, don't decline any further. I also hope that after you become the Assistant Hokage, you will manage your clansmen well; don't let them lose themselves because of your status and do things that harm the Village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that there had always been a small group of people with extreme thoughts within the Uchiha, and he believed Uchiha Hikaji could manage them.
He also wanted to use this opportunity of having Uchiha Hikaji become the Assistant Hokage to shut those people up. If they were still restless, then he couldn't be blamed.
"Hokage-sama, I understand."
Uchiha Hikaji felt how heavy the burden on his shoulders was. He had wanted to retire, but now he was called to be the Assistant Hokage.
Soon, the news of Uchiha Hikaji being chosen as the Assistant Hokage spread throughout Konoha, and those radicals within the Uchiha who felt Konoha treated the Uchiha Clan unfairly quieted down.
They had always believed that the Uchiha should have a place among the Konoha high-ranking officials. This idea intensified after many clansmen died in the war, and they even persuaded many people to protest to the clan head.
Before they could even act, the clan head had become the Assistant Hokage with great authority!
"Lord... Danzo... these are?"
On Uchiha Hikaji's first day on the job, he saw his desk piled high with various documents and reports.
"Hikaji, the work of an Assistant Hokage is very busy."
