In the forest, dust flew so thick it almost blocked out the sunlight.
A wild boar, over ten meters tall, was letting out an earth-shattering roar that shook the leaves from the trees.
Its gray-black skin was as hard as rock, its wrinkled back bristled with sharp bone spikes, and its two tusks gleamed with a cold light, each as tall as a person.
It stomped its front hooves, and earth-yellow Chakra instantly gathered. Several arm-thick earth spikes shot out from the ground, whistling through the air towards the figure not far away.
"Wind Release: Sickle Weasel!"
Temari's voice was a little urgent, but still clear.
Pale white Chakra swirled around her, her Nature Mode was fully activated.
Her hair was slightly ruffled by the wind, and her originally fair cheeks were flushed from the high-intensity battle.
She gripped her three-star fan tightly, her wrists rotating rapidly. The fan blades conjured several sharp wind blades, which precisely cut down the incoming earth spears, then fiercely struck the wild boar's back.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
The wind blades struck the wild boar's skin, leaving only three shallow scratches, not even a drop of blood seeping out.
Temari bit her lower lip, tasting a hint of blood.
She had been fighting this wild boar for nearly half an hour, and the double gravity was rapidly draining her stamina.
She hadn't expected a mere wild boar to be so troublesome.
She took a deep breath, slowly channeling the natural energy of Nature Mode into her Wind Chakra.
Wind Release: Great Sickle Weasel Technique!
The three-star fan snapped open to its maximum extent, its ribs emitting a faint hum.
Gale-force winds gathered into a spiral on the fan's surface, finally transforming into a giant wind blade over ten meters wide, which slashed towards the wild boar.
This time, the wind blade was imbued with pale green natural energy, its power several times greater than before.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
The wind blade fiercely struck the wild boar's back. The earth-yellow armor was split open by the wind blade, and dark red blood seeped from the crack, dripping onto the ground and instantly being absorbed by the dust.
The wild boar struggled madly in pain, its massive body spinning in place. Its tusks slammed towards Temari, the accompanying wind carrying a fishy smell.
Temari's pupils constricted slightly. She lightly tapped her feet on the ground, nimbly dodging like a leaf.
Taking advantage of the wild boar's turn, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
She took a deep breath, channeling all her remaining Chakra into the fan's surface. The three-star fan pointed precisely at the wild boar's wound.
Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!
A slender yet sharp wind blade pierced out like a needle, accurately drilling into the armor's crack.
The wild boar let out a tragic roar. Its massive body swayed, and finally, it collapsed onto the ground like a small mountain.
It panted heavily, the fierce glint in its eyes gradually fading, leaving only the weakness of near-death.
Just as Temari sighed in relief, her arm went limp, and the three-star fan almost slipped from her hand.
She was about to deactivate her Ninjutsu when a slight spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared beside her. Her heart trembled, and she instinctively tensed her nerves.
The moment she saw who it was, she froze.
Shun was standing three steps to her left, a familiar gentle smile on his lips, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Lustful uncle!"
Temari's vigilance instantly vanished, replaced by a surge of grievance.
She quickly walked forward, gently tapping Shun's chest with her hand, the force as light as a tickle.
"You haven't come to see me for five months. Every time I finish training, I can't help but think of you. I thought you had forgotten me and didn't want me anymore."
Her voice gradually choked up, like a child who had suffered a grievance.
Shun reached out and held her hand. The calluses on his palm brushed against her fingertips, making her eyes instantly well up. He tenderly ruffled her hair, his fingertips brushing her sweat-dampened strands.
He said, "Silly girl, five months have passed in Immortal Village, but only one month in the Ninja World. I'm very busy, you know, and besides, I came to see you as soon as I had a moment. How could I not want you?"
He gently wiped the sweat from her cheek with his clean sleeve, his movements very gentle.
"I don't care!"
Temari buried her head in his embrace, feeling wronged. "You made me wait so long, you have to compensate me."
Shun held her in his arms, feeling her warm body temperature and asked, "Then what kind of compensation do you want?"
Temari stood on her tiptoes, gently hooking her hands around Shun's neck, pulling him closer to her.
She was subtly nervous, her voice tinged with shyness. "Lustful uncle, kiss me."
Hearing this, Shun paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.
He reached out and flicked her nose, teasing, "Temari, are you in heat? You want to kiss me anytime, anywhere, without even looking at where we are. There's a wild boar lying next to us, covered in blood. Aren't you afraid of it 'watching'?"
"I don't care."
Temari's cheeks flushed at his words, even her earlobes turned red, but she still stubbornly clutched his collar.
"Who told you to leave me here for over five months without contacting me? Every day after I finish practicing Ninjutsu, I can only talk to the trees in the courtyard. When I think you might have forgotten me, I get so sad. What's wrong with wanting a kiss?"
As she spoke, tears finally couldn't be held back, falling onto Shun's hand and burning him, making his heart tighten.
Seeing her angry, wronged, and red-eyed, Shun's teasing instantly turned into soft tenderness. He raised his hand to gently wipe away her tears, feeling her warm breath, his heart rate gradually quickening.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded behind them, thudding on the ground like muffled thunder.
Both of them turned around at the same time, only to see the dying wild boar, which had somehow gotten back on its feet. Its eyes were filled with frantic bloodshot, its tusks still stained with blood, and it was charging fiercely towards them.
Temari instinctively moved to open her three-star fan, but Shun gently held her hand.
The wild boar charged to about twenty meters from them. After seeing Shun's appearance, its originally frantic gaze instantly turned to fear. Its massive body suddenly froze in place, its four legs rigid, trembling all over, unable to even let out a roar.
The next second, the wild boar let out a faint whimper, and its massive body fell to the ground with a "thud," kicking up a cloud of dust.
The once arrogant wild boar was actually scared to death.
Watching this comical scene, Temari couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears, patting Shun's chest, her own heart still pounding.
"I didn't expect this guy to be such a coward, it actually got scared to death by you. But our kiss just now was interrupted by it, what a pity." She said, her eyes showing a hint of grievance again, but she didn't cry anymore.
Shun turned around and gently held her in his arms. "What's there to be afraid of if it was interrupted? How about I take you home and make up for the 'compensation'? It's windy here, and it's stained with the wild boar's blood, so it's dirty."
