"We've arrived at the Land of Hot Water. Passengers getting off, please prepare in advance."
"Let's go, Lady Temari. After you leave the Thunder Car, you'll be my wife for these three days."
Uchiha Yoichi took off the four hair ties from Temari's head, letting her blond hair fall loosely over her shoulders. Then, he put his arm around her waist and headed towards the train car's exit.
Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Temari felt indignant inside, but since she could endure even more outrageous things, pretending to be his wife didn't seem so bad.
Before coming, Uchiha Yoichi had already booked an entire hot spring. Coincidentally, it was the hot spring festival in the Land of Hot Water, and the quality of the springs was at its best during this time.
Moreover, there were a lot of people. Visitors from all over the Ninja World would choose to come to the Land of Hot Water at this time, and there were many activities for tourists to participate in. With so many people, no one would notice Uchiha Yoichi.
Especially since the crisis in the Ninja World was no small matter. Having just dealt with several incidents that could have destroyed it, those people should be busy handling the next issue. They wouldn't have the leisure to soak in the hot springs here, except for Uchiha Yoichi; no one else would do this.

At the Ninja Academy, as soon as the school bell rang, most students cheerfully prepared to leave the classroom.
"Lu Dai, Well Array, let's go. Didn't you say you'd help me find someone?"
Uzumaki Boruto called out from the classroom door. He was already outside, wondering why those two guys were still sitting inside.
Nara Shikatai was contemplating issues regarding his parents. The strange atmosphere at home over the past couple of days made him feel uncomfortable. Although he didn't know what had happened, he sensibly noticed it had something to do with his parents.
However, after hearing Uzumaki Boruto call out, Nara Shikatai replied, "Coming."
The group then left school together. Just as they were about to head towards the Hyuga Clan Land, Yamanaka Ijin suddenly spoke up, "Forget it, we don't need to investigate anymore!"
"Eh? Why?"
Uzumaki Boruto and Nara Shikatai were both confused upon hearing this. Uzumaki Boruto, anxious, asked, "Why, Ijin? I had already decided to find the person who scared me, and now you're..."
"Because my mom found out..."
Yamanaka Ijin sighed and said, "When I went back yesterday, I happened to run into that drugstore owner looking for my mom. As soon as I returned, I was exposed, and my mom knows about it now, so our plan fell through..."
Hearing this reason, both Uzumaki Boruto and Nara Shikatai helplessly sighed. Since the main person knew, there was really nothing they could do.
Uzumaki Boruto asked, "So what do we do next?"
"What else can we do, go home. My dad's working overtime, so I might have to cook dinner myself."
Nara Shikatai waved his hand and then headed towards his home.
