Kageyama Kogetsu laughed heartily, "Haha, alright. I'll treat you back in the future."
"Don't busy yourself. You sit too."
"Mm."
Uzuki Yugao nodded lightly and moved a chair to sit next to Kageyama Kogetsu, rather than at the head of the table or opposite him.
"I toast you, Lord Kogetsu, for your careful guidance during this time," Uzuki Yugao said, holding up her wine glass with both hands, her smile bright.
Kageyama Kogetsu smiled, "It's no trouble. I like to promote the younger generation."
"Besides, you're my fan, and I find you very pleasing to the eye. Cheers."
The two of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp, about a third of the glass's volume.
"You're really straightforward. When I said 'cheers,' I actually meant 'drink as you please.'"
"It's alright. My tolerance for alcohol is not great, but this much won't get me drunk."
"By the way, Lord Kogetsu, how pleasing to the eye do you find me?"
As Uzuki Yugao spoke, she picked up the wine bottle and poured wine, then served some food to Kageyama Kogetsu.
"Hmm..." Kageyama Kogetsu swallowed the delicious tempura, and after a moment of thought, he said, "So pleasing that if you were willing, I'd want to change your name."
"Huh?" Uzuki Yugao didn't get it at first.
Kageyama Kogetsu had to explain further, "From now on, you won't be called Uzuki Yugao, but Kageyama Yugao."
"Uh... the name doesn't seem to sound that good."
"No, no! It sounds very good," Uzuki Yugao's heart burst with surprise. Her pretty face flushed, and she said quickly.
"As long as you think it sounds good," Kageyama Kogetsu said, opening his left arm with a smile.
Seeing this, Uzuki Yugao was a mix of joy and shyness. She mustered her courage, stood up, and moved her chair next to the other, letting his arm embrace her shoulder.
The two of them chatted, ate, and drank. By the time it was dark, Uzuki Yugao was half-drunk.
"You don't need to clean up. Let my shadow clone do it."
"Alright," Uzuki Yugao said with a sweet smile.
The poor shadow clone went to work. Kageyama Kogetsu smiled, "It's still early. Want to go for a walk?"
"Uh... Lord Kogetsu is so popular. If we're seen outside, I'll be too embarrassed," Uzuki Yugao said, her pretty face crimson, her eyes shy.
"Then let's not go out. Let's take a bath."
"I'll go and draw a hot bath for you, Lord Kogetsu."
"Draw two tubs. Let's bathe together."
Uzuki Yugao looked at her captured hand and lowered her head shyly, "Alright... alright."
Before long, the hot water was ready. Kageyama Kogetsu came to the bathroom and found that Uzuki Yugao was already in the tub.
Uzuki Yugao was wearing light green underwear and soaking in the tub. The water reached her collarbones. The steam was thick, and the light on the water changed, creating a hazy and indistinct effect.
"My house only has one tub. Lord Kogetsu, you can use the more comfortable bathtub," Uzuki Yugao said, her eyes averted, shyly.
"Alright."
Kageyama Kogetsu withdrew his gaze, took off his clothes in a flash, and stepped into the bathtub wearing only his underwear.
"Wow... Lord Kogetsu, you have such a good figure," Uzuki Yugao's eyes lit up in admiration.
"Thank you for the compliment. You're not bad yourself. You're my type."
Uzuki Yugao's figure was slender and slim, yet not without curves. It was a standard figure for a girl of about eighteen.
Uzuki Yugao's heart beat faster, and she was very happy.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Kageyama Kogetsu asked casually, lying in the bathtub with his hands behind his head.
"Train hard, do missions hard, and try to become a Jonin. Does that count?"
"Hmm... if possible, I want to become a renowned kenjutsu expert in the ninja world, like Lord White Fang."
Kageyama Kogetsu nodded slightly, "Of course it counts. I'll help you."
After chatting for a while, Uzuki Yugao mustered her courage and volunteered.
"Lord Kogetsu, I'm about done soaking. Would you like me to give you a massage?"
"That would be great."
Uzuki Yugao endured her shyness, met his gaze, and climbed out of the tub, walking with wet, sexy steps to Kageyama Kogetsu's back.
Kageyama Kogetsu cooperated fully with the masseuse's requests, doing whatever she said, letting her massage wherever she wanted.
After a while, Uzuki Yugao's competitive spirit was aroused, and a fighting spirit was born.
"Lord Kogetsu, let's have a match. I feel I've improved a lot recently."
"Alright, how do we fight?"
"How we fight is not the point. The point is, please use your full strength."
"Haha, you're asking for trouble."
"Heh heh, in this terrain, who wins and who loses is not yet certain."
"Heh heh, I, on the other hand, think the outcome is already decided."
The two began to fight. Uzuki Yugao used a katana, and Kageyama Kogetsu used a long spear.
As the saying goes, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous; an inch longer is an inch stronger.
As a taijutsu master, Kageyama Kogetsu naturally knew the principle of using a weapon's advantage.
With a full-strength attack, Uzuki Yugao didn't have time to react and was immediately defeated.
Half an hour later, the unconvinced Uzuki Yugao's fighting spirit was rekindled, and they fought again.
This time, although Uzuki Yugao used all her tricks to resist, she was ultimately defeated and fell into a baby-like sleep.
The next morning at nine o'clock, Uzuki Yugao's eyelids fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
She was dazed for a moment before she remembered the "humiliating" experience of being defeated repeatedly last night. She looked down and saw the hand around her waist...
She had originally wanted to provoke him a little, but thinking of her miserable defeat last night, she suppressed her eagerly stirring heart.
Kageyama Kogetsu had already rested well, but since Uzuki Yugao was not awake, he was happy to feign sleep in the fragrant and soft bed.
The two of them got up, washed, and ate.
After that, Kageyama Kogetsu called Uzuki Yugao to the living room sofa and gave her the same treatment as his other women.
The general treatment included the Transcription Seal, the Cursed Seal, and signing her name on the summoning scrolls of the three great sage regions.
Yes, for Kageyama Kogetsu's sake, Nonō, Kurenai, and the others could summon the summoning animals of the three great sage regions.
Since Kageyama Kogetsu had not shown his true strength at Mount Myoboku, their response was not as positive as that of Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest, but it was still a normal attitude.
The personally tailored treatment was to give her the Uchiha-style kenjutsu, the Senju-style kenjutsu, techniques for fine control of chakra, and techniques for releasing chakra sword energy.
Finally, Kageyama Kogetsu consulted Uzuki Yugao's opinion on the matter of her job transfer.
After careful consideration, Uzuki Yugao decided not to transfer to the Police Force for the time being, but to continue to develop in the Anbu, striving to make a name for herself in the Anbu and even the ninja world.
Uzuki Yugao told him about Danzō's role.
Kageyama Kogetsu accepted Danzō's good intentions and made a special trip to the Hokage's office to sit for a while.
Kageyama Kogetsu did not care about the mission factor. Uzuki Yugao was not faking it, so there was no need to be so calculative.
...
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.
At the beginning of Konoha 60, Orochimaru officially made a name for Otogakure in the ninja world...
