"Kiyosuke Asakawa?!!"
Ao immediately stood up and grabbed the sake in his hand, splashing it over.
"Damn it! Why did I meet you here?!" Kiyosuke also splashed the juice over.
"Ah! My eyes! My eyes!"
"Eyes! My eyes!"
Both of them squatted down, covering their eyes and washing them with the hot spring water.
They quickly wrapped towels around their lower bodies, no longer soaking in the water, but standing on the water surface. "No wonder the voice sounded familiar. I didn't expect it to be you, Ao!"
"Meeting you in such a place! I'll kill you to avenge the Third Mizukage!"
Water - attribute chakra condensed in Ao's hand, forming a water sword, which he slashed towards Kiyosuke.
"Do you think I'm a sick cat?"
Without wasting any words, Kiyosuke waved his hand, and a huge sword made of flames appeared.
The sword and the blade collided. Water and fire were incompatible, and the two started to fight. Just then, a figure jumped over from the women's hot spring area. "Ao! I heard the sound of fighting here. What happened... Kiyosuke Asakawa?!"
The person who came was Mei Terumi wrapped in a bath towel. She had just changed her clothes and heard the fighting sound from the men's hot spring area, so she ran over. She never expected it to be Kiyosuke.
Why was he here?
"Mei! Come and help quickly!"
"Ah, well..."
"Hmph!"
Kiyosuke stabbed Ao's arm with his sword and then kicked him away. "What a wonderful coincidence. Mei, it's been two years since we last met, right?"
The girl's smooth and tender skin came into view. Her exquisite figure was wrapped in a bath towel, exuding a hint of sensuality.
Oh no!
As a young and passionate person, this was a bit embarrassing!
He stopped fighting and sat down in the hot spring, just looking at Mei Terumi.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, it must be the others who are embarrassed!
Sure enough, Mei Terumi blushed and said, "You two continue. I, I'll go change my clothes."
Ao: "..."
Sister, this isn't the time for that!
"What? Do you still want to fight? Even the Third Mizukage in his tailed - beast form couldn't defeat me. Are you sure you want to come and be my punching bag?" Kiyosuke looked at Ao and said.
"Don't be too arrogant!" Ao gritted his teeth.
"Ah, I'm just telling the truth. I'm considering doing a favor for the Hyuga clan and getting their Byakugan back." Although Ao's eyes had a seal from Kirigakure, as long as he took the head back, the sealing department in Konoha would find a way to unseal. It wasn't a difficult task.
"Sit down. This is a hot spring. Enjoying it is the right thing to do."
Ao snorted and didn't stay any longer.
Kiyosuke didn't care. He was just curious why they were here. Kirigakure had been in isolation, and generally, they shouldn't appear in other countries. They should only be in the Land of Water.
Was it some special mission?
He thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so Kiyosuke gave up thinking.
Just then, Mei Terumi, fully dressed, jumped over with a blushing face. Seeing Kiyosuke still soaking in the hot spring, she shouted, "You pervert!"
Kiyosuke:???
"Sister, I'm in the hot spring. Do you wear clothes when you soak in the hot spring?"
"Ah, well..."
"Anyway, you can't see anything. I'll just make do and sit here. By the way, why are you two here?"
"It's just a mission," Mei Terumi twirled her hair and looked at Kiyosuke. "A mission?"
"A mission."
Kiyosuke wrapped a towel around himself and stood up, scaring Mei Terumi into covering her eyes. But her green eyes secretly peeked through her fingers.
Kiyosuke said, "Let's go. I don't want to fight with you guys. Let's go out and talk."
With that, he headed towards the changing room.
Mei Terumi jumped back to the women's hot spring area. After all, if a girl walked out of the men's hot spring area, it would definitely cause misunderstandings, and she didn't want that.
Kiyosuke walked out, not wearing the Konoha forehead protector. At fifteen years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall. He had a handsome appearance and a sunny smile. His black hair reached his shoulders. If he wore women's clothes, he could be a heart - breaker.
Provided you ignored his physique...
Mei Terumi walked out and saw him. She was stunned for a moment. In the thick fog just now, she couldn't see clearly. Now, it seemed that this guy had become much better - looking compared to two years ago, and he had more of a masculine charm.
She pursed her lips and smiled. "Kiyosuke - kun has become a handsome guy. You must be popular with many girls in Konoha, right?"
"Not bad. But I didn't pay them any attention. After all, I have to take care of a child," Kiyosuke said.
"Child? What child?" Mei Terumi asked in surprise.
"My child."
My... child?!!
My child...
My child...
It was as if there was a tape - recorder in her head, repeating these words. Her nose felt sour and uncomfortable!
She forced a smile and said, "Congratulations. You got married so early."
Kiyosuke walked over, saw her red - rimmed eyes, and smiled. "Did you misunderstand something?"
"N, no," she took a step back and smiled. "Ao and I still have a mission, so we won't chat anymore. Goodbye. I wish you happiness."
Sure enough, she must have misunderstood.
He grabbed her wrist and explained, "It's the son of the Fourth Hokage. But the Fourth Hokage died in battle and entrusted the child to me before he died. So, he's like my child. Did you misunderstand just now?"
"N, not at all!" Mei Terumi puffed out her cheeks, looking extremely cute. "Kiyosuke - kun, you're so mean - spirited."
"Hahaha, I just said that. It was you who misunderstood. Come on, it's rare to be out. I heard there will be a temple fair here at night. Let's go and have a look."
"But, we..."
Kiyosuke reached out, took off her Kirigakure forehead protector, and stuffed it into her hand. "Now you're not a Kirigakure ninja. Let's go."
"Ah, okay." Mei Terumi was led away by Kiyosuke in a daze.
Not long after the two left the inn, from afar, Ao rushed over, shouting, "Mei, I'm here to save you! Kiyosuke Asakawa, you bastard! Let go of Mei!"
"Ah, here comes the spoiler!"
Kiyosuke grinned at Mei Terumi. Mei Terumi said, "Let me go. We still have a mission."
"It's a rare chance to get out of the village. Don't you want to have some fun?"
"No need. I'm happy to see you," Mei Terumi tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly.
"I see. I'm happy to see you too. Goodbye!"
Kiyosuke laughed heartily and left the inn. Ao ran over and asked, "Mei, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Ao. He won't hurt me. Otherwise, I would have died in the Kirigakure Hospital," Mei Terumi said with a smile. "He's a gentle idiot!"
This situation...
Ao looked at her worriedly and reminded, "He's from Konoha and the one who killed the Third Mizukage."
"I know. So, I'm just happy to see him," she said, looking in the direction where Kiyosuke had left. "There may not be such a chance in the future."
