"I have an extremely important question I want to ask, Sensei!"
"Oh? What is the question?"
Yugito Nii sensed her disciple's seriousness and couldn't help but be intrigued.
As she spoke, she didn't turn on the light in the outer reception area but led Seiya directly into the inner resting area.
The light was soft and bright.
It was then that Seiya saw his teacher's attire clearly.
Yugito Nii must have just finished bathing; her hair still had some residual moisture and smelled of shampoo.
She was simply wearing a single, pure black slip dress with delicate stitching, which looked incredibly smooth, and the black fabric set off her skin like snow.
Thin straps hung on her shoulders, highlighting her fair and slender, flawless neck, like a swan's. It would be difficult to carve even one or two-tenths of her icy smoothness even with the best white jade in the world.
Her shoulders were rounded, making the straps hover between slipping and not slipping, possessing a certain precarious beauty.
Her collarbone was exquisite, forming a small hollow that could hold a peeled, boiled egg, and now also provided a stable anchor for the straps, preventing them from sliding down.
The slip dress was a popular hip-hugging style of the time.
Although it was loose, it had a moderate waist-cinching effect, revealing some of her graceful figure.
Beneath the skirt were her fair, long legs, which contrasted sharply with the black fabric, shining brightly.
A faint, subtle fragrance filled the room, drifting into Seiya's nose.
He couldn't help but feel a little stirred.
The next moment, he sharply remembered the important matter, immediately steadied his mind, and his expression became solemn.
Yugito Nii secretly approved, satisfied with his reaction.
She then sat on the chaise lounge by the window and patted the spot next to her.
Seiya sat down directly, quickly organized his words, and began: "
Yugito sensei, if one day, a very serious problem arises in the village that requires the sacrifice of Matatabi to solve, would you agree to Matatabi's sacrifice?"
"..."
Yugito Nii frowned, looked up, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Seiya, asking doubtfully:
"What kind of problem in the world would require Matatabi's sacrifice to solve?"
"That's not the main point! Just purely assume that if there truly was such a problem, how would you choose, Teacher?"
Yugito Nii was silent for a while before answering: "I just asked Matatabi. She said she would sacrifice herself to help the village solve the problem for my sake. I respect her decision."
Seiya thought for a moment and added: "Yugito sensei, please tell Matatabi that once she sacrifices herself, she will disappear forever and can never be revived!"
"What exists in this world that can make a Tailed Beast permanently die?"
Yugito Nii felt bewildered, sensing that Seiya was acting a little off.
The question he posed tonight and the conditions he attached were strange and inexplicable.
Then, she cupped Seiya's face, their eyes meeting, and asked with concern: "Seiya, are you facing some difficulty? Tell your Sensei, and your teacher will help you!"
Seiya was unmoved and said seriously: "Sensei, please answer my question first."
"Alright."
Yugito Nii was silent for a moment.
After fully communicating with Matatabi in her mind, she replied: "Matatabi is unwilling. She does not have such deep feelings for the village and is unwilling to pay the price of permanent death to help the village. I respect her decision."
Seiya was silent for a moment, then his understanding dawned, and he nodded emphatically, "Good, I understand!"
Then, he got up, ready to leave.
Yugito Nii grabbed his wrist and looked him in the eye, asking suspiciously: "Seiya, what did you understand?"
Seiya smiled: "I understood that when making a choice, you need to consider your companion's feelings and respect your companion's opinion."
Yugito Nii frowned, suspecting that the young man was deliberately evading the topic and hiding something from her.
However, she finally let go of his hand and allowed Seiya to leave.
After all, everyone has their little secrets.
If he doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it.
In fact, Seiya was not evading the topic.
Recently, he had been thinking about the Akatsuki issue only from his own perspective.
Tonight, it suddenly occurred to him that he had never considered the feelings of the person directly involved.
Even if he chose the second option, and even if the Rinnegan could resurrect the dead, he still needed to consider Yugito sensei's perspective.
Who would be willing to have their life manipulated by others?
Especially when others do not respect their feelings but arrogantly control and arrange their fate arbitrarily.
In such a situation, no matter how close the relationship, they would probably feel resentment and anger.
It was this thought that prompted Seiya to consult Yugito sensei late that night.
The teacher and disciple shared the same idea: respect the person involved. Just as Seiya respected Yugito Nii, Yugito Nii respected Matatabi.
Thus, the matter became perfectly clear.
The second option is ruled out!
From now on, he would sincerely infiltrate Akatsuki, using the rogue-nin to weaken the power of other Shinobi villages.
As for the so-called Tailed Beast Weapons, let Akatsuki pursue them.
Seiya would never allow them to harm a single hair on Yugito sensei!
...
With the plan decided, Seiya returned to his room and, as Konan-neesan had instructed, infused chakra into the ring.
The ring then began to feel slightly warm.
Immediately after, an ethereal figure magically appeared in the room.
The figure in front of him lacked many details of a real person. However, Seiya clearly recognized the person as Konan-neesan.
Only, compared to that day when she was wrapped in a large black cloak with red clouds, today Konan-neesan's ethereal figure seemed to be naked?
Her curves were fully visible.
Seiya glanced at her entirely by accident, then reacted, lowered his head, and shifted his gaze.
Silence was the best expression.
Konan was slightly startled.
Seeing that Seiya consistently avoided looking at her, she couldn't help but be puzzled.
A moment later, she reacted and let out a soft cry of 'Ah'.
A few seconds later, she gently cleared her throat, breaking the silence.
"Seiya, you can look up."
Seiya complied readily and looked up, only to see that Konan-neesan's ethereal figure had a fuzzy, plush-like shape covering her chest, waist, and hips-probably a blanket or something similar-concealing much of the sensuality.
The stunning sight of the beautiful woman just now had shattered most of Seiya's solemn mood for discussing business.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He opened his mouth, then silently closed it again.
Konan felt quite embarrassed.
Although she was close to Seiya, it hadn't reached the level of meeting him nude.
It might have been possible with the unknowing Seiya of ten-plus years ago, but now, the basic boundaries between male and female must be maintained.
However, recently, her heart had been preoccupied with the anticipation of Seiya's reply.
Tonight, the 'Void' ring suddenly received a request for a meeting from the 'Void' ring.
She was overjoyed and immediately infused chakra to meet Seiya without hesitation.
She had completely forgotten that she was in the middle of a pre-sleep bath, completely undressed.
