After silently watching Danzo's miserable state for a while, Takumi contentedly left this place of trouble.
After walking two streets,
Takumi soon saw two girls facing off against each other.
Sakura and Ino.
They seemed to have both taken a liking to the same piece of clothing. At that moment, each was holding one side, neither willing to let go, forehead to forehead, veins bulging as they argued.
Takumi's gaze drifted slightly downward, looking at the clothing they were fighting over, and his eyes lit up.
It was a light pink one-piece swimsuit.
'Since nothing's happening in the next few days, why not take them to a hot spring!'
Although he preferred the seaside, obviously a hot spring was closer.
Rent out the entire hot spring, and then...
Hehehe, those who know, know.
Takumi immediately made up his mind.
Then, he stepped forward to greet them. "What a coincidence, Sakura, Ino. What are you doing?"
Seeing Takumi, Sakura and Ino immediately restrained themselves, instantly separating and acting like shy girls.
As if it wasn't them who had been frantically butting heads just now.
Takumi couldn't help but find it amusing.
He casually picked up the swimsuit they had dropped to prevent it from falling on the ground and getting dirty.
"Do you want to go to the seaside?"
Takumi said with a smile. "Although this swimsuit is quite cute, I don't think it suits you."
One-piece swimsuits suited women with good figures.
But Sakura and Ino were still too young at this point; wearing it would just make them look flat.
Although Ino's development was slightly better than Sakura's, it was still limited.
It would take them a few more years to fully develop.
This swimsuit was actually most suitable for women like Kurenai, with curves in all the right places.
As for Tsunade...
Just imagining Tsunade wearing this swimsuit made Takumi's nose itch unbearably.
That would truly be 'holy' levels.
"Th-then, Takumi-kun, which one do you think suits us?"
Sakura asked shyly.
Ino also looked at him expectantly.
"Mm, let's go inside and take a look."
Takumi looked at the swimsuit shop next to them and walked in first.
Sakura and Ino quickly followed.
"Hello, welco... Ah!"
The salesperson who came forward saw it was Takumi and immediately covered her mouth, letting out a surprised cry.
A blush quickly appeared on her face.
"Hello, I want to buy a few swimsuits for friends."
Takumi showed a gentle smile and said softly.
"P-please, feel free."
The salesperson became starry-eyed. "Takumi-sama, take whatever you want."
"How can I do that?"
Takumi smiled and shook his head. "If it's a gift bought for others, if you give it for free, then it's not my gift anymore."
He looked around, then picked out two cute two-piece swimsuits for Sakura and Ino.
They were still young, so they just needed to show their youthful, invincible charm.
Sexiness was still a long way off for them.
"Go try them on."
He looked at them with encouraging eyes, watching the blushing two head to the fitting rooms.
Then Takumi began his real goal.
'I've already picked one for Kurenai.'
Takumi looked around at the dazzling array of various swimsuits, his eyes full of eagerness.
Even if these swimsuits weren't used at the beach or a hot spring, they could be worn at home.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
'Mm, this one suits Yugito. Purple one-piece, matches her coloring very well, and can show off her wonderful figure.'
'This one, I must buy for Tsunade!'
'Mm... Rin would probably look very cute wearing this flower-patterned one.'
'I should buy one for Ayame too, since I haven't given her any gifts yet.'
'Might as well take this opportunity to see if I can have further developments with her.'
'And this one, this one, that one...'
While Sakura and Ino were in the fitting rooms, Takumi had already selected several dozen swimsuits.
He asked the salesperson to deliver them all to his residence, then sat in the waiting area waiting for the two girls to come out.
Soon, the two girls lifted a corner of the fitting room curtain, revealing their small heads and smooth, fair shoulders.
Their faces were full of shy blushes.
"..."
Sakura looked shyly at Takumi. "Don't laugh when you see us, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't."
Takumi smiled gently. "You're so cute, why would I laugh?"
Sakura and Ino exchanged glances, then nodded to each other to encourage, or rather to encourage themselves.
Swish! Swish!
They pulled aside the curtain covering the fitting room, revealing their clear, beautiful bodies before Takumi.
Takumi's eyes involuntarily lit up.
'Sure enough, my taste was good.'
Sakura's was a pink, frilly two-piece swimsuit.
The important parts were very securely covered by ruffles, but most of her fair skin was exposed, making her look very cute.
Ino's was a blue-purple striped swimsuit.
The top and bottom were connected by two thin strips at the sides.
Compared to Sakura's, it was less cute and more mysterious and sexy.
"Not bad, you both look great."
Takumi clapped his hands. "Sakura looks very cute, and Ino is much sexier. You'll definitely become as sexy as Tsunade-sama in the future."
Both girls' cheeks flushed, enjoying the admiring gaze of the person they liked.
"Let's change into another one!"
They wanted more praise.
And being able to show off more of their charm in front of Takumi, they were perfectly willing.
So,
Takumi sat with his legs crossed, enjoying the sight of the two beautiful girls continuously exuding their unique charm.
"Really cute."
Takumi couldn't help but sigh.
The dress-up game lasted two hours.
The two girls seemed completely unaware of fatigue.
If Takumi hadn't suggested going for ramen, they probably could have kept going all day.
"Let's go eat ramen."
Takumi said with a smile. "After being out on a mission for so long, I've really missed it."
Carrying many bags, Takumi took Sakura and Ino to Ichiraku Ramen.
"Oh, Takumi-kun is here?"
Teuchi the owner was as enthusiastic as ever.
Although Ayame's situation gave him a headache, he didn't hold it against Takumi.
After all, the fault wasn't with Takumi; Takumi was just too charming.
"Takumi hubby!"
Ayame was already used to it by now, not just her.
Others had also gotten used to it.
In fact, many girls in the village secretly called Takumi 'hubby'.
"Here, this is a gift for you."
Takumi handed a bag to Ayame. "I've always enjoyed your special ramen, so please accept this gift."
"For me?"
Ayame looked surprised and delighted, eagerly opening it.
Inside was clearly a cute light green swimsuit.
Her cheeks immediately flushed red.
"In a couple of days, I plan to take everyone to a hot spring. You should come too."
Takumi said with a gentle smile.
"O-okay."
The shy Ayame lowered her head and said bashfully.
"We're going too."
Sakura and Ino quickly chimed in.
"Everyone's going."
Takumi said with a smile.
"Here are your ramen, young ladies."
Just then, Teuchi finished making Sakura and Ino's ramen and brought it over.
Ayame snapped out of it and quickly began making Takumi's special Ayame Ramen.
Before long, a bowl of ramen, even larger than before, appeared before him.
"Well then, I'll start eating."
Separating his chopsticks, Takumi ate slowly.
This bowl of ramen tasted even more delicious.
Savoring it carefully, the layers of flavor gradually emerged.
Looking around at the smiling, relieved people, a smile also appeared on the corner of Takumi's mouth. "So happy... Let's live happily together like this from now on."
