Konan's Room – Later That Night
After returning from the tower, Konan sat quietly in her room, her fingers brushing across the cover of an old, slightly yellowed diary.
On the front page was a hand-drawn sketch—two masked figures, one tall and calm, the other quiet and slender.
"…Where are you two now?"
"Masked brother… masked sister…"
She whispered, pressing her palm against the image.
Even after all these years, Konan had never stopped looking. Whenever a mission allowed it, she volunteered—hoping, just maybe, to catch a glimpse of Uchiha Hikaru and Saya again.
But not once had she found a trace. No trail, no name, not even a rumor. Just... silence. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
Senju Compound – That Night
On his way back to Tsunade's quarters, Hikaru suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and muttered:
"…Someone must be talking about me."
Arriving outside Tsunade's room, Hikaru paused. Through the door, faint voices drifted out—Tsunade's and Saya's.
He leaned in quietly, a smirk forming. (￢‿￢ )
Inside the Room
"Sister Tsunade, please stop teasing me~ You already know the answer..." Saya's voice was muffled by the pillow, her cheeks bright red.
Tsunade's laughter followed, mischievous and teasing.
"Don't be shy, Saya! Seriously, how do you keep your skin this smooth?" Tsunade grinned, one hand lazily trailing down Saya's calf. "Honestly, your figure's starting to rival mine from my prime…"
"T-That tickles!" Saya squeaked, curling up under the blanket like a startled bunny. (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
"Oh come on! We're both women—what's there to be embarrassed about?" Tsunade teased again, grabbing Saya's hand and playfully placing it on her thigh. "You touch mine, I touch yours, fair deal, right~?"
SLAM.
The door suddenly opened.
Tsunade and Saya both froze, their eyes darting to the doorway.
There stood Uchiha Hikaru, calm and composed, with one hand still resting on the door handle and a suspiciously serene smile on his face.
"My, my… looks like I walked in on something fun."
"Mind if I join you two?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The room went silent.
A pillow immediately flew at Hikaru's head.
"You shameless brat! Get out!" Tsunade barked, her face red but voice firm. "I was just having a serious talk with Saya!"
Hikaru chuckled, catching the pillow easily.
"Really? Sounded very serious," he teased, raising an eyebrow at Saya.
Saya suddenly sat upright. The flustered girl from earlier was gone—her voice was soft, but resolute.
"No, Tsunade-sama… I'm not being bullied."
"Making Lord Hikaru happy… is something I'm honored to do." (〃ω〃)
Tsunade blinked in disbelief.
Hikaru nodded approvingly, then turned to Tsunade with a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Well said, Saya. But Tsunade… slandering your Hokage's assistant and teasing Saya? That's abuse of power."
"I think that calls for some punishment."
Tsunade's brows furrowed. "Hey now, don't joke—"
She froze.
A strange sensation ran through her body—binding chakra, delicate but firm, wrapped around her limbs.
"Wh—Saya!?"
She looked down. Saya's small hand rested gently on her thigh, black sealing marks blooming from her palm like ink in water.
"Self-Karma Seal…?" Tsunade muttered, eyes widening as the curse markings turned orange-red.
Saya smiled innocently, walking over to Hikaru and hugging his arm, her tongue peeking out playfully.
"Don't be mad at me, Tsunade-sama~ I told you, pleasing Lord Hikaru isn't easy, even for me…"
"And I was afraid you'd say no." (๑>◡<๑)
Hikaru ruffled Saya's hair and chuckled, praising her without hesitation.
"Well done."
He honestly hadn't expected Saya to use Danzo's old Root techniques like this. He'd taught them to her out of boredom—never realizing she'd find such… creative applications.
Internally, Hikaru gave her a big thumbs-up.
(*＾▽＾)／☆゛
(The next part… well, let's just say the scene fades to black~ ( ˘ ³˘)♥ )
Later That Night
By midnight, Tsunade lay sprawled on the bed, her golden hair tangled, her expression dazed, body trembling slightly. Her eyes seemed lost, pupils trembling in the dark.
Saya curled into Hikaru's chest, snuggling with a flushed face and a sleepy smile.
o(￣︶￣)o
Hikaru leaned back, one arm around Saya, the other gently brushing Tsunade's damp hair, healing her body with soft green chakra.
"…Natural energy really is amazing," he murmured. "I'll have to master Sage Mode sooner than I planned."
After all, if he wanted to enjoy life properly—he needed strength, control, and a long, long lifespan.
His first life had lasted nearly a thousand years. This world? It was still young.
But for now, there were other things to prepare for.
The Chūnin Exams were coming.
