Before long, Karin, who had changed into a short skirt, came out of the fitting room first.
After being evaluated by Aoba regarding her white over-knee socks, she happily took another set of clothes into the fitting room to change.
And as soon as Karin entered, Terumi Mei came.
Seamless transition.
"Little brother, does this dress look good on big sister?", Terumi Mei stood in front of Aoba, her blue dress overall not much different from her original outfit.
But the halter-neck design and white inner lining made her aura even more charming.
Only a mature and alluring big sister could pull off this kind of clothing.
"Really suits you…"
This actually made him interested. After all, little head dad, big head son.
Even if it's a sugar-coated bullet from the enemy, he'd still eat the sugar coating, then shoot back the bullet.
Hearing that, Terumi Mei couldn't help but smile, and leaned even closer to Aoba, "Then do you want to come to Kirigakure with big sister? When the time comes, I can wear this for you every day…"
"Only let you see it, okay～"
'Good grief, so this is what she was waiting for.'
Aoba's expression instantly turned serious, "Miss Terumi Mei, I'm a disciple of the Hokage. You're testing the Hokage's disciple with this?"
"Could it be Konoha has a rule that Hokage's disciples can't marry female ninjas from Kirigakure?", Terumi Mei leaned even closer, her red lips almost touching Aoba's face.
"If you keep doing this, I'll report your behavior to my teacher," Aoba said in a flat tone.
But Terumi Mei just pouted disdainfully, 'This little brother really isn't honest.'
'Obviously interested in me, yet deliberately saying these distancing words.'
'Otherwise, why didn't he dodge when I leaned in, and even stayed still?'
'Clearly just wanted me to kiss him.'
'Playing the game of hard to get with me, huh.'
She simply refused to let him succeed, keeping an appropriate distance.
And continued to tease him.
This was a fellow ninja with dual bloodline limits like her, and he had a good impression of her. If she could bring him over to Kirigakure, not only would the village gain a powerful combat force, she wouldn't have to worry about her marriage prospects anymore.
Though, she currently had quite a few rivals.
Karin rushed out of the fitting room again, and upon seeing Terumi Mei standing close to Aoba, quickly ran over and squeezed her away.
Terumi Mei just smiled and deliberately glanced at Karin's little buns a couple of times.
'Just a bunch of little girls, after all.'
Karin was so angry she nearly pounced to bite her, but Aoba held her back.
The three of them stayed in the clothing store for more than two full hours.
Aoba's legs went numb from sitting before they finally left.
"Next, I want to check out your Konoha ninja tool shop," After leaving the clothing store, Terumi Mei said to Aoba.
"Ninja tool shop?", Aoba was taken aback, "You want to buy ninja tools?"
Terumi Mei nodded, "I lost all my tools back in the Land of Waves because of you. Of course, I need to replenish them."
Aoba thought for a moment and nodded as well.
Tsunade had said to let her move freely, and if she really wanted to escape, whether or not she had ninja tools, Aoba could easily suppress her.
"Let's go."

[Ninja Tool Shop]
Tenten was sitting in the back lounge area.
In front of her on the ground was a shuriken.
She formed hand seals with both hands.
The shuriken on the ground trembled for a moment, and then another one appeared beside it.
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on Tenten's face. After several days, she was finally able to preliminarily complete this ninjutsu.
"Tenten, come out and greet the customer," At that moment, her mother's voice suddenly rang out.
Tenten pouted, "Mom, I said I'm working on ninjutsu!"
"You sure you're not coming out?", Tenten's mom sounded amused.
Tenten frowned, got up and walked out while asking, "Who is it… Aoba!"
Tenten's eyes widened, and she ran over joyfully.
Tenten's mom could only shake her head helplessly at the scene.
Her own words didn't carry as much weight as his.
"Aoba, are you here to buy ninja tools?"
Aoba shook his head and pointed at Terumi Mei next to him, "Not me, she's the one buying."
Only then did Tenten notice that besides Karin, there was also such a "brazen" big sister next to him.
'Where did this "wild woman" come from?'
Terumi Mei also noticed the change in Tenten's expression.
And widened her eyes.
'Another one?'
'Could it be the whole Konoha is this brat's harem? No matter where he walks, there's always one nearby?'
"Aoba… who is she?", Tenten asked with a frown.
"She's Terumi Mei, Aoba-oniichan's mission target. Lady Tsunade asked Aoba-oniichan to watch her," Karin answered for Aoba, but her tone carried deep resentment.
"So she's just a mission target huh…", Tenten subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Karin quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Tenten, you absolutely can't let your guard down…"
Karin exaggeratedly described what Terumi Mei had done earlier.
Tenten's eyes gradually widened, "You mean, that woman's interested in Aoba, and is even deliberately seducing him?"
Karin nodded, "Aoba will be staying with that woman for a whole month?"
Karin nodded again.
Tenten subconsciously gripped a kunai from the counter.
Terumi Mei, who was initially thinking, also noticed Tenten's gaze. She looked up and saw Tenten's puffed cheeks.
Aoba also noticed Tenten's expression and found it both funny and cute.
'Like a little bun.'
He walked over to comfort her.
Seeing this, Terumi Mei also felt quite displeased.
He actually set her aside again.
"I'm not buying ninja tools anymore," Terumi Mei said to Aoba, then turned to leave.
Aoba felt a bit speechless.
"Tenten, looks like I have to go," Aoba could only pinch Tenten's buns to comfort her.
"Aoba! You absolutely must not get fooled by bad women!", Tenten knew it was a mission, so she couldn't do much. In the end, she could only give him a reminder.
Then looked at Karin, "Karin! Meet at Ichiraku Ramen later!"
"Understood!", Karin also responded seriously.
'What the heck is going on now?'
Aoba shook his head, then took Karin and followed after Terumi Mei.
After all this, it was almost dark.
"By the way, where am I staying tonight?"
After leaving the ninja tool shop, Terumi Mei seemed to be in a better mood.
"You're staying at my place," Aoba replied expressionlessly.
"What?"
"What?"
Terumi Mei and Karin shouted in unison.
"This is teacher's arrangement. I have to keep an eye on you at all times," Aoba still wore a blank face. He was also rather troubled, 'There's an even bigger vinegar jar at home.'
In the end, Terumi Mei, both shy and excited, and a bit nervous, followed Aoba home. It was her first time feeling this way.
Meanwhile, Karin had already dashed off like the wind.
'Big crisis!'
———
Arriving at the Senju clan compound, Terumi Mei looked surprised, "Your house is pretty big."
"These are all teacher's houses."
Aoba knocked on the door with a worried expression.
"You knock on your own house's door?"
Just as Terumi Mei asked in confusion, the door opened.
A beautiful figure wearing an apron appeared at the door.
Then both of them were dumbfounded.
"Who are you?"
