Feeling both shy and a little pleased, Kurenai handed over the task of fanning Hinata to Uchiha Kage before quickly slipping behind the folding screen. She dried herself off while changing into her sleepwear.
Only the delicate shadow on the screen was left for Uchiha Kage outside to indulge in limitless imagination.
'Sensei would never have guessed that, in fact, I have already seen every part of her in my dreams.'
Although she was just an NPC, judging by Hinata's previous performance, the NPCs' bodies in the dream space should be no different from real people in reality.
Uchiha Kage glanced at the screen briefly before turning his attention back to Hinata, who was still blushing and sweating, as if she had a fever.
This was probably due to a rush of blood and the heat of the hot spring.
"Fanning won't work, better use the Mystical Palm Technique," Uchiha Kage tossed the fan aside and placed his hand, which was about to release the Mystical Palm Technique, in front of Hinata.
It was common knowledge in the Naruto world that the Mystical Palm Technique had to be applied to a female ninja's chest.
Sure enough, after a while, feeling the cool sensation spread through her body, the girl gradually regained consciousness.
But...
"Ah...", As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with Uchiha Kage's face so close to hers and his hand placed on her body. The shocking sight made Hinata faint again out of embarrassment.
"...", Uchiha Kage could only withdraw his Mystical Palm Technique helplessly.
In his dreams, no matter how he played with her, she never fainted.
But in reality, she... would collapse instantly with just a slight touch.
Although it was kind of cute, what about the future...?
"I think I just heard Hinata's voice? She woke up?", Interrupting Uchiha Kage's wandering thoughts, Kurenai Yuhi, now dressed in a loose white bathrobe, finally stepped out from behind the screen.
"Not yet," Uchiha Kage really couldn't bring himself to explain that Hinata had just woken up and fainted again because of him.
"Really?", Kurenai Yuhi glanced at the lying Hinata.
The unnatural flush on the Byakugan girl's face had finally faded.
It seemed like there was nothing to worry about anymore.
"You didn't take advantage of my absence to do something sneaky to Hinata, did you?", After laying out the remaining bedding, Kurenai Yuhi leisurely teased the boy in front of her.
"I didn't," Seeing Kurenai Yuhi domineeringly occupy the middle bed, Uchiha Kage could only lie down on the outermost bed.
"That's good. No matter how much Hinata likes you, you can't always bully her, understand?"
'This dumb disciple, even when given opportunities, he doesn't know how to take advantage of them.'
It seems that, in the end, she has to be the one to make him realize things.
'Hmph, this guy must have no idea... Underneath his teacher's white bathrobe, I am actually wearing an inner garment embroidered with roses, not the common fishnet armor ninja gear.'
"I'm going to sleep," Breathing in the mixed fragrance of the blanket, Uchiha Kage planned to pretend to sleep and then, once the two beside him fell asleep, he would enter the dream space to comfort his wives.
"Hey, wait... Who goes to sleep this early? Talk with sensei for a bit," Kurenai Yuhi turned over, lying on her side to face Uchiha Kage, then used both hands to turn this disobedient disciple toward her, making him face her directly.
"What were you thinking today?"
"What do you mean, what was I thinking... Mmm..."
Since dodging wasn't easy inside the blanket, Uchiha Kage's cheek was once again squished into a mess by his female teacher's hand.
This grudge—he would definitely take revenge in the dream space tonight.
As his only fully unlocked NPC, what awaited her every night from now on would be endless rewards and punishments.
"Weren't you trying to hide your strength before? Why did you decide not to hide it this time? You even stole the show at the alliance talks...", Because her hand accidentally touched Uchiha Kage's lips, Kurenai Yuhi pulled her hand back like she was electrocuted.
At the same time, her cheeks flushed even redder.
She really wanted to touch them again...
His lips.
After that first kiss with her disciple, achieved through momentum and circumstance, Kurenai Yuhi had been wanting to do it again.
Even though she knew it was wrong... At least for Hinata, her thoughts were truly terrible.
But once you taste something, it's hard to let go.
"I just wanted to wrap up this mission quickly, and Hiashi-senpai was too useless, I couldn't stand watching anymore."
Things were different now.
Last time, he concealed his strength because he wasn't yet strong enough to stand against Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo. But now, Uchiha Kage no longer cared.
So even if some of his strength was exposed, it didn't matter. As long as his most important trump card, the Mangekyō Sharingan, remained hidden, there was nothing to worry about.
Besides, Hiruzen Sarutobi had even recalled Itachi Uchiha for reuse.
With Konoha on the brink of war, if he showed a bit more strength, Sarutobi would probably be too pleased to care.
"At least give Hinata's father some dignity."
'This disciple, the stronger he gets, the more arrogant he becomes.'
But no matter what, as his teacher, she had to help him keep his secret.
As for Hiashi Hyuga, a simple hint from her should be enough for him to not reveal too much about Uchiha Kage's role in the alliance talks.
Thinking of this, Kurenai Yuhi felt reassured.
"But I really didn't expect you to tame those aggressive Mist Village guys like this..."
Not just in strength, but even in negotiation skills, he was impressive.
"I just remembered stray dogs I've encountered before. They act the same way. If you show weakness, they'll pounce on you and tear you apart. But if you crouch down as if picking up a rock or a stick, they tuck their tails and run far away..."
"Stray dogs? You...", Kurenai Yuhi burst into laughter.
"Comparing the elders of Mist Village to stray dogs. Your mouth is really sharp."
But the analogy was quite accurate. Sometimes, the weaker you appeared, the more people tried to take advantage of you.
"Sensei, can I sleep now?", Watching his female teacher laugh so hard, Uchiha Kage just wanted to enter his 'dream' and deal with his frustration.
"Nope. Until sensei falls asleep, you're not allowed to sleep," Kurenai Yuhi wiggled closer, shortening the distance between them.
She realized that just lying here, staring at Uchiha Kage's face, wasn't boring at all.
But...
'Looks like the scar on sensei's stomach won't fade...'
While shifting, her robe slightly lifted, exposing the lingering scar on her abdomen, making Kurenai Yuhi sigh.
As a ninja, having scars was normal. But as a woman, she didn't want her once flawless body to be blemished.
Especially in front of someone she liked.
"You keep staring at sensei's stomach. Do you want to touch it?"
"No, I was just thinking..."
Although Uchiha Kage denied it, Kurenai Yuhi, seemingly too excited tonight, grabbed his hand and placed it on her smooth skin. Except for the scar.
"What are you thinking?"
But soon, she flinched away, not wanting him to touch her scar.
"Maybe the legendary Sannin, Tsunade, the medical master, could heal sensei's scar."
"Tsunade-sama? That... might be possible..."
Thinking of how Tsunade maintained a youthful figure despite her age, Kurenai Yuhi was filled with hope.
"But you care so much about sensei's body... Do you like sensei?"
Ignoring her worries for now, Kurenai Yuhi slid her hand into Uchiha Kage's blanket, finally feeling the abs she had long wanted to touch.
"Sensei, you're taking advantage of me again." [T/N: FBI!! OPEN UP!]
With no way to escape, Uchiha Kage could only endure his mischievous teacher's teasing.
"This is just reciprocation. Didn't you also touch teacher's stomach just now?"
Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat reluctant to let go.
This guy's body really felt too good to the touch.
"But teacher, you touched from my stomach all the way to my shoulders."
"Hmph, talkative. Clearly, you enjoyed it… right?"
At some point, not only had her hands moved, but Kurenai Yuhi had also climbed entirely into Uchiha Kage's futon.
And she was now propping herself over his shoulders, locking eyes with him.
A suggestive atmosphere once again rose between them.
In the end, the female ninja couldn't hold back, licking her lips slightly before lowering her head.
"Uchiha Kage, in recognition of your outstanding performance in this mission, teacher has decided to give you another reward," As if she had found some excuse to convince herself, Kurenai Yuhi hesitated no longer and moved toward Uchiha Kage's lips.
"Teacher...", Although he didn't dislike Kurenai Yuhi's affectionate gestures, Uchiha Kage really wanted to say that Hinata, lying beside them, seemed to have woken up a while ago.
And she was staring at them with her bright, wide-open eyes.
Especially when she saw Kurenai Yuhi boldly pressing down on his shoulders, her transparent white eyes widened in embarrassment.
What the girl didn't know was that Uchiha Kage, who also had the Byakugan, had long since noticed her reaction.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
However, just as Kurenai Yuhi lightly brushed against him, her actions were interrupted by a knock at the door from outside.
"Is that Shino outside?", The female teacher quickly tidied up her yukata and bedding, then hurriedly got up, put on an outer robe, and went to open the door.
Likewise, the startled Lady Hinata quickly shut her eyes tightly, lying back down in a posture pretending to be asleep.
Uchiha Kage found it all amusing.
'This girl is really something...'
Clearly, the one who should feel guilty was Kurenai Yuhi, yet Hinata always put herself in that role instead.
"Why is it you?"
But outside the door wasn't the Shino that Kurenai Yuhi had expected.
Instead, it was an uninvited guest carrying a gift bag—Terumi Mei.
Seeing this seductive female ninja, Kurenai Yuhi almost shut the door immediately.
Such a disturbance to a good moment.
"Uchiha Kage… he's in here with you, isn't he?"
Leaning half her body into the doorway, Terumi Mei scanned the room, looking for Uchiha Kage.
