Naruto: Swarm System

Boom!

Ino pushed open the curtains and leapt into the room, landing heavily on the floor. Just as she looked up, she saw Shishou looking at her with a strange expression, which almost gave her a fright.

Ino glared at Shishou angrily and said, "Why didn't you make a sound? You almost scared me!"

Shishou chuckled, "Sneaking into someone's house through the window is not very ladylike."

"Hmph!"

Ignoring Shishou's comment, Ino raised her chin proudly, "I do what I like."

"Besides, this isn't just anyone's house. I wouldn't bother sneaking into someone else's place. You should feel honored."

Then, Ino curiously asked, "Why is it so dark in here?"

Clap!

Shishou snapped his fingers, and the lights in the room came on, brightening the space. As soon as the lights were on, Ino noticed a white puppy at Shishou's feet and exclaimed, "Shishou, when did you get a puppy?"

Picking up the white puppy, Ino cooed, "It's so cute!"

Shishou held back his laughter and said seriously, "It wandered in here on its own. I just noticed it."

In reality, Inuzuka Hana had transformed into the puppy the moment Ino entered through the window, using her clan's secret technique.

"Really?" Ino, suspecting nothing, continued to cuddle the puppy happily, saying, "It's so soft and cuddly."

Shishou stroked his chin, murmuring, "It is indeed quite comfortable to hold."

Upon hearing this, the puppy Inuzuka Hana shot him a deadly glare.

"Ahem."

Sensing Hana's killing intent, Shishou quickly changed the subject, "Ino, what brings you here so late?"

It was best to get Ino out of here quickly, or he feared Hana might lose her temper.

Ino, looking smug, said, "I just wanted to see you."

Excuses weren't needed; Ino simply wanted to spend time alone with Shishou.

Shishou took the puppy Hana from Ino's arms and said, "Didn't we plan to have dinner together tomorrow?"

Ino clung to Shishou's arm, pouting, "I wanted to be with you alone tonight."

She had missed him terribly over the past few years and just wanted to stay by his side now.

Shishou sighed, "I still have things to do tonight."

He petted the puppy Hana as he spoke.

Noticing the cleaning supplies in the room, Ino rolled up her sleeves and said, "Is it cleaning? I'll help you."

Just as she grabbed the cleaning tools, there was another knock at the door, and Hinata's nervous voice called out, "Sh-Shishou, are you home?"

Shishou facepalmed, feeling exasperated.

Was this turning into a party?

"Tch, Hinata," Ino muttered, walking to the door and opening it, "Shishou is home, but so am I."

Ino wanted the whole village to know about her relationship with Shishou, so she wasn't hiding anything.

"H-Hello, Ino," Hinata blushed, feeling embarrassed.

She thought she was the only one sneaking over, but Ino had beaten her to it, making her feel awkward.

"Tch, looks like we all had the same idea, wanting to have Shishou to ourselves," Ino said, hugging Hinata and playfully squeezing her cheeks.

Then she called out, "Hey, you two, come in or I'll shut the door."

Before Ino finished speaking, two voices responded from outside, "Wait!" and "Coming!"

Tenten and Sakura emerged from the shadows, and Ino put her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

Shishou sighed and glanced at the puppy Hana in his arms.

The puppy Hana glared at him, clearly unhappy with Shishou's tendency to attract trouble.

Standing at the door, Hinata, Tenten, and Sakura exchanged awkward glances. Unlike Ino, they felt embarrassed about sneaking out to see Shishou.

Ino, assuming the role of the house's mistress, began issuing orders, "Shishou needs to clean up. Since we're all here, let's help."

"Sure," the others quickly agreed, glad to have something to do to ease the awkwardness.

As they entered and greeted Shishou, their attention was drawn to the cute puppy in his arms. Tenten exclaimed, "What a cute puppy!"

She took the puppy from Shishou and began petting it, soon joined by Hinata, Ino, and Sakura.

Feeling humiliated, the puppy Hana squirmed free and jumped back into Shishou's arms.

Holding Hana, Shishou said, "Alright, let's get this place cleaned up first. Then we can have a late-night snack together."

The girls nodded eagerly.

The puppy petting had been a way to break the ice, but now they all pitched in to clean up.

Hana, still in puppy form, watched from Shishou's shoulder, unwilling to reveal her true identity due to the potential embarrassment.

After an hour of cleaning, the place was spotless. This was also thanks to Hana's regular cleaning.

Once done, Shishou went out to buy snacks, drinks, and takeout, and they all settled down to play a game of dice and Monopoly.

Halfway through, the bold Ino snuck out and returned with a few bottles of alcohol, proposing they drink.

Her suggestion was met with unanimous approval from Hinata, Sakura, and Tenten, despite Shishou's futile objections.

None of the girls had much experience with alcohol. After a few sips, they were tipsy and started to get rowdy, giving Shishou a headache.

It wasn't until the early hours that Shishou managed to get everyone home safely.

Once everyone had left, Hana returned to her human form, letting out a sigh of relief.

The first thing Shishou did upon returning to his house was set up a barrier to prevent further interruptions.

As he closed the door, the lights in the room were turned off.

In the darkness, Hana pounced on him, entangling herself with him.

After the commotion, they finally had a chance to be alone and explore the mysteries of life together.
