Chapter 382: Fujiwara Tetsuya: Am I being caught cheating?
Above the desert in the Land of Wind.
A streak of light rapidly flew by, finally stopping less than a mile from Po Suo Oasis.
After resting for several days in a valley in the Land of Rivers, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally returned with Uchiha Mikoto.
"Hmm~ Mikoto, the camp seems to have gotten much livelier since we left… and there are quite a few new faces!"
"Could it be that the Village sent more reinforcements?"
As soon as he stepped into the outpost, Fujiwara Tetsuya heard a cacophony of voices… Looking at the unfamiliar faces, for some reason… Fujiwara Tetsuya felt a strange sense of panic.
"Mikoto~?"
"Tetsuya-kun?"
Just as Uchiha Mikoto was about to respond, two surprised voices suddenly came from ahead, and two dark figures instantly rushed in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto.
One of them, without any hesitation, crashed directly into Uchiha Mikoto's embrace with a joyful cry.
"Kazuha, and Qingfeng… why are you two here? Weren't you in the Land of Rain…"
Looking directly at Uchiha Kazuha and Uchiha Qingfeng in front of her, Uchiha Mikoto's expression was filled with joy… However, when she thought about where the two had come from.
Uchiha Mikoto and Fujiwara Tetsuya exchanged a look of understanding… their eyes somewhat uneasy.
"Mikoto, Qingfeng and I actively applied to Lady Tsunade, and besides us two, a few other clan members also came to the Land of Wind…"
"Senior Tsunade?"
Hearing Uchiha Kazuha's explanation, Fujiwara Tetsuya's body trembled violently… because that figure had already appeared in his line of sight.
"Ryoui, I didn't expect you to also come to the Land of Wind with Senior Tsunade…"
As Torune Ryoui got closer and closer, Fujiwara Tetsuya only felt his panic intensify.
Even Uchiha Mikoto, who had never shown weakness in front of Torune Ryoui, lowered her gaze after greeting her… "Tetsuya, since you're here, come in~ What's with always hiding outside?"
Inside the room, Sakumo Hatake was fiddling with the White Light of his blade, carving a miniature wooden sculpture of Kakashi.
Suddenly, his hands paused, and he sighed helplessly towards the doorway.
"Cough~ Senior Sakumo's sensory abilities are as sharp as ever, truly impressive."
"I've tried my best to suppress my Chakra fluctuations, but I didn't expect you to still discover me…"
Rustle~~ With several crisp footsteps, Fujiwara Tetsuya walked in from outside the door, looking a bit awkward.
After seeing Torune Ryoui, the three of them inevitably started a scene of loving rivalry… which had only just concluded.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"Let me state beforehand, I've already covered for you regarding your trip to the Land of Rivers."
"If anything about you and Mikoto Jonin gets out, it absolutely wasn't me who leaked it, and you don't need to keep staring at me…"
As someone with experience, Sakumo Hatake deduced Fujiwara Tetsuya's thoughts from his subtle facial muscle changes.
While clearing himself of any blame, a hint of playful mischief also arose in his heart.
"Cough~ I'm relieved to hear Senior Sakumo say that."
"I just came to confirm, I don't have any other intentions."
"Well then, I won't disturb you from missing Kakashi…"
Seeing Sakumo Hatake bluntly expose his little secret, even with Fujiwara Tetsuya's thick skin… and deep composure, he couldn't help but feel a bit flustered at this moment. After finding an excuse, he fled directly without looking back.
Alas, trying to be a good man~ it's truly difficult!
...Late at night, the bright moonlight once again enveloped Po Suo Oasis.
After a long period of self-hypnosis, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally closed his eyes and drifted into a light sleep.
However, before Fujiwara Tetsuya could fall into a deep sleep, he felt a warmth spread over his body… a smooth touch continuously moving along his skin.
"Mikoto…"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt his mouth dry, and then he forced himself to look away.
She had already arrived, and if he continued to indulge himself so recklessly, staging a life-and-death battle… it would only be a matter of time.
"Tetsuya-kun…"
But this was Fujiwara Tetsuya's thought, not Uchiha Mikoto's… With hazy eyes, Uchiha Mikoto's delicate, lotus-root-like arms were already wrapped around Fujiwara Tetsuya's neck… "Mikoto, don't… don't be like this, the soundproofing here… the soundproofing isn't good, we'll be discovered."
"Tetsuya-kun, I'll be quiet…"
Just as Uchiha Mikoto was continually teasing Fujiwara Tetsuya's will, causing him to lose his rationality and strike a pose… a booming sound suddenly pierced the quiet night sky. Fujiwara Tetsuya's heavy stone bedroom door was kicked into smithereens.
"Ryou… Ryoui…"
Under the moonlight, Fujiwara Tetsuya clearly saw the face of the newcomer.
The moment Fujiwara Tetsuya gasped, Uchiha Mikoto cried out, instantly withdrew her arms, and clutching her thin veil, burrowed into Fujiwara Tetsuya's quilt… burying her head deep inside.
"I knew it, when I saw you today, why did you have such a strong scent on you again…"
"Uchiha Mikoto… well done, you dared to sneak a bite while I was in the Land of Rain and Tetsuya-kun were alone?"
"It seems you've forgotten our agreement…"
"Ryoui…"
"Shut up, I'll settle your score with you later!"
Facing the enraged Torune Ryoui, Fujiwara Tetsuya instinctively pulled his neck back.
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya's reaction, Torune Ryoui couldn't help but let out a soft snort… She directly stepped forward and yanked off the quilt covering Uchiha Mikoto, dragging Uchiha Mikoto, with large expanses of her fair skin exposed, out of the bed.
"Ryoui, it's not… it wasn't me, at first… Tetsuya-kun was the one who initiated it…"
At the critical moment, Uchiha Mikoto unhesitatingly sold out Fujiwara Tetsuya.
Fujiwara Tetsuya had never imagined that the most vulnerable point of his defenses would turn out to be his own home base.
"Uh, Ryoui… listen to my explanation…"
"By the way, Ryoui, do… do you want to join?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly realized… he had blurted out his truest thoughts.
As for Torune Ryoui and Uchiha Mikoto, their faces were flushed with embarrassment… their pupils unfocused, lost in thought.
"Tetsuya-kun, you… you're going too far!"
"You'd better honestly explain this matter first…"
"That kind of thing, there's no way I'd let you get away with it so easily."
"Hmm~"
Torune Ryoui's response made Fujiwara Tetsuya's heart skip a beat… She didn't directly refuse, which meant there was still a chance.
However… the most important thing right now was how he would get through this immediate predicament.
Watching the continuously enlarging fist, Fujiwara Tetsuya was sent flying with a crash, like a kite with a broken string.
