Naruto: Swarm System

"Woof! Grr!"

Seeing Shishou dare to take advantage of his master, Inuzuka Hana, Kuromaru the ninja dog immediately barked loudly.

Shishou put down his scroll and glanced at Kuromaru with a faint look.

"Whimper..."

Kuromaru whimpered, tucked his tail, and ran into Hana's stone house. For Kuromaru, barking once was enough to fulfill his duty. As for resistance, he left that to his master.

Hana, nervously stroking Shishou's handsome face, said, "Why did you scare Kuromaru?"

Shishou continued reading his scroll and replied, "It makes him behave."

Hana, poking and prodding Shishou's face with her fingers, pouted, "You're so domineering for someone so young."

Hearing this, Shishou put away his scroll, grabbed Hana's hand, and smiled, "I like obedient women."

He looked directly into Hana's eyes, his gaze intense and invasive. Hana felt a mix of excitement and panic, her face turning crimson.

Shishou just graduated... Shishou just graduated...

Hana repeated to herself like a mantra, then suddenly stood Shishou up and retreated to her stone house, closing the door to hide.

In the ninja world, it was common to marry at fifteen or sixteen.

But Shishou had just graduated. If Hana were to do anything, she would have to wait a few years...

Seeing Hana run off, Shishou chuckled, having felt her racing heartbeat. He had to admit, teasing an older sister was quite enjoyable.

Thinking this, Shishou tossed a few logs into the campfire, used Earth Release to create a lounge chair, and continued reading his scroll.

The scroll in his hand was about the senjutsu of Ryuchi Cave, detailing the techniques for using Sage Energy related to the Immortality Rebirth technique of the White Snake Sage.

The scroll left behind in the Ryuchi Cave included training methods related to the Immortality Rebirth technique but did not contain any high-level senjutsu like the Vajra Chains used by the White Snake Sage.

Shishou understood this. The White Snake Sage's Vajra Chains were her trump card, so it was natural she wouldn't leave records of it.

It was similar to how Uchiha Madara did not leave Yin-Yang Release techniques for Uchiha Obito.

If Shishou wanted to enhance his defensive abilities with senjutsu using the Immortality Rebirth technique and wield the Vajra Chains without fear of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, he needed to study the senjutsu research materials left behind.

As Shishou diligently studied, time quickly passed, and it was soon 2 AM.

Hana walked out of her stone house, sat beside Shishou with her knees drawn up, and said, "Shishou, you should rest. I'll take the second half of the night watch."

According to their watch schedule, it was Hana's turn to take over.

Shishou waved her off, "It's fine. I can go two days without sleep. You go back and rest; I'm in the middle of something important."

Seeing Shishou's dedication, Hana thought, Shishou is really hardworking.

"Just wake me up if you need to rest later."

Saying that, Hana lay down beside Shishou, leaning against him and quickly falling asleep. She had been restless since Shishou's teasing, and now, feeling sleepy, decided to take a nap by his side.

However, when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, and she found herself lying in Shishou's arms, covered by a blanket on the lounge chair by the campfire.

As Hana woke, Shishou put away his scroll and smiled at her, "Good morning, Sister Hana."

Her face turned red instantly, and she quickly got up from his embrace.

Hana realized her right hand was intertwined with Shishou's left, their fingers tightly clasped together.

Seeing this, her face grew even redder.

Feeling her gaze, Shishou smiled, "You held my hand yourself last night."

Embarrassed, Hana tried to pull away, but Shishou held on.

Seeing his refusal to let go, Hana stammered, "Shishou, you're still too young..."

Shishou grinned, "So when I grow up, I can hold your hand?"

"I... I didn't say that," Hana murmured.

Shishou released her hand, "Then it's settled. In a few years, you'll be my woman."

Hana was stunned, "Wait, but I'm Kiba's sister..."

"That doesn't matter," Shishou said, quickly kissing her cheek before running towards the forest. "I'll catch something for breakfast."

Watching him run off, Hana was speechless, touching the spot where he kissed her, her face growing even redder.

"Shameless couple," Fuu muttered from the stone house, displeased. She hadn't expected Hana to make a move while she was asleep.

So annoying!!!

...

Over the next two days, Shishou and the others slowed their pace. Shishou intentionally took his time, needing to solidify his relationship with Hana before returning to the familiar setting of Konoha.

Once back in Konoha, Hana might feel embarrassed about Shishou's age due to the presence of familiar faces, leading her to avoid him.

Fuu, frustrated by the growing bond between Shishou and Hana, frequently tried to separate them.

In response, Shishou would flick her on the head.

After a few times, Fuu changed tactics, no longer interfering but sticking close to Hana like a third wheel, following her everywhere.

This made Hana feel like she had gained a younger sister, leaving her somewhat helpless.

However, Fuu's endearing nature meant Hana didn't mind, treating her like a little sister.

After a few days, they finally returned to Konoha.

They parted ways, with Fuu following Hana to the Inuzuka household and Shishou returning to his place to rest and experiment with his newly learned senjutsu techniques.

After two more days, Shishou informed Tsunade and the others about his upcoming confrontation with Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, explaining the entire situation in detail.

The unexpected news left everyone shocked and stunned.
