"Touch Sakura's steamed bun… Touch the steamed bun. How am I supposed to touch it?!"
Kaien scratched his head, deeply troubled.
Sakura wasn't an ordinary woman. Her temper was bad, and her strength was terrifying. He was afraid that a single punch from her might end his life on the spot.
Moreover, she was Sasuke's woman. Who would dare to lay a hand on her?
"Let's ask her out first and see. If I don't ask her out, how will I know if there's a chance?"
After thinking it over for a long time, Kaien decided to ask Sakura out first to test the waters.
With that thought in mind, Kaien picked up the phone he had just gotten and called Sakura.
"Hello? Who is this?" Sakura's voice sounded a little sleepy.
"Hello, Sister Sakura, it's me, Kaien," he said quickly.
"Kaien? Is something wrong?" Sakura asked, sounding puzzled.
"Nothing much. I was just thinking that it's been a long time since I saw Sarada and Aunt Mikoto. I thought I'd come over to see them today. Are they home?" Kaien asked.
In this world, not only was Kushina alive, but Mikoto was also alive, and Sarada had already been born.
Kaien thought that maybe he could use this excuse to meet Sakura—and then look for a chance to touch the steamed bun.
"They're not home. Sarada went to the Ninja Academy," Sakura replied.
"Oh, I see." Kaien paused, then said, "Then, Sister Sakura, are you free? Do you want to go for a walk?"
"A walk?" Sakura hesitated slightly. "Where do you want to go shopping?"
She was a little confused about why Kaien suddenly wanted to go out with her.
"Just a casual stroll. I haven't been back in a long time, so could you show me around a bit?" Kaien said.
"Oh, I see." After thinking for a moment, Sakura nodded. "I happen to be free today. I'll take you around."
"Great! I'll wait for you at the park." Kaien hung up happily.
After tidying himself up a bit, Kaien called out, "Mother, I'm going out for a walk."
With that, he disappeared in a flash.
"This child, running off so fast. He didn't even say whether he's coming back for dinner."
Kushina sighed and shook her head.
Kaien headed straight for the park. When he passed a flower shop, he suddenly stopped.
"Hey, do you have fresh roses? Get me a bouquet," Kaien called into the shop.
"Of course we do. What kind of flower shop wouldn't have roses?" A sweet voice replied, followed by a blonde beauty stepping out.
When she saw Kaien, she smiled, "Oh? Isn't this Kaien? When did you get back?"
"Sister Ino!" Kaien looked up and smiled. "I just got back yesterday."
Ino's golden hair flowed down to her waist. Her figure was slender and graceful, her fair skin flawless, and her delicate features exquisite. Her sapphire-blue eyes sparkled like stars.
Her beauty was no less than Sakura's, and after marriage, Ino's mature charm made her even more alluring.
Especially dressed in a purple crop top and miniskirt, her fair, slender legs were fully exposed, perfectly outlining her shapely figure and exuding an irresistible charm.
"It really has been a long time," Ino said with a smile. "You come back and immediately buy roses—who are they for?"
"For my Mother," Kaien replied casually.
"I haven't seen you in so long, so this is a welcome-back gift. I won't charge you."
Ino handed him the bouquet.
"Sister Ino, you're giving me a rose?" Kaien grinned. "To receive flowers from Sister Ino herself—I'm truly blessed!"
"You little brat, you're still so slick even after growing up."
Ino's face flushed as she poked his forehead playfully.
"If I had met Sister Ino earlier, I would've fought Brother Sai for you no matter what," Kaien said teasingly.
If he had transmigrated earlier, not just Ino—Sakura, Tenten, Hinata, and even Kushina—he wouldn't have let any of them go.
And now, with the system and Make-Out Paradise, he had no intention of letting go either.
Married women were even more enticing, weren't they?
"You brat." Ino laughed helplessly. "Go on, hurry up. Don't disturb my business."
"Alright!" Kaien waved and hurried toward the park.
Not long after he arrived, Sakura appeared.
"Sister Sakura, over here!" Kaien waved from afar.
"Sister Sakura, this is for you." He handed her the rose.
Sakura froze when she saw the flower.
She had never received flowers before—except when she was hospitalized after injuries.
Sasuke was cold by nature and had no sense of romance. Even their wedding had been a simple formality. Flowers were something she had only fantasized about.
She had long since given up on that fantasy.
Yet now… Kaien had given her flowers.
"Thank you." Still in a daze, Sakura accepted them.
"As long as Sister Sakura likes them." Kaien's eyes lit up. "So… where should we go for a walk?"
"Where do you want to go?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. The village has changed so much that I almost couldn't find the park earlier," Kaien said with a frown.
"Then I'll take you around first," Sakura said after thinking for a moment. "So you can get familiar with the area again."
"Thank you, Sister Sakura," Kaien said happily.
"Let's go this way first." Sakura pointed and walked ahead.
Kaien followed behind her, staring at her swaying figure, his heart growing restless.
Steamed bun… touch the steamed bun!
Sister Sakura, just how am I supposed to complete this mission?!
