Aomi never expected…
That Kaguya, who was always indecisive, would be so decisive in today's confrontation…
With a sneak attack, she pressed her red lips onto his, defeating Aomi for the first time.
Although Aomi wasn't particularly into these things, the atmosphere had reached this point, so he naturally wrapped his arm around Kaguya's waist in response.
"Kaguya's lips are like a melting soft candy, quite delicious…"
Aomi thought to himself, stayed close to Kaguya for a while, gently patted her smooth back, and said with a smile,
"Alright, how long do you plan to kiss? It's not like we won't have another chance..."
Kaguya glared at Aomi, annoyed, with her small fist hitting Aomi's chest twice, "Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by having chances or not in the future!"
Aomi raised an eyebrow.
Being intimate with Kaguya really requires a strong foundation.
Otherwise, just with this coquettish act, Kaguya could, without noticing, unintentionally destroy Susanoo, like a casual version of the Eighty Gods Air Attack.
Ordinary people couldn't handle it…
"I know, I know…" Aomi nodded compliantly, gently grasped a strand of Kaguya's hair, and stroked it tenderly.
Kaguya wanted to say something, but seeing Aomi's eyes full of tenderness, she momentarily forgot what she wanted to say, and snuggled into those broad arms, sweetly meeting the gaze of her loved one.
Everything felt dreamlike…
After going through so much, although there was conflict between Aomi and her, the outcome was far beyond Kaguya's expectations.
Not only were past grievances forgiven, but Aomi also took the initiative to express his feelings.
To the extent that when Kaguya thought of that damn betrayer Zetsu, she couldn't even muster the hatred.
"Actually, I should thank Zetsu."
Aomi caressed Kaguya's porcelain-like cheek, as if he knew what she was thinking, and softly said,
"If it weren't for Zetsu's betrayal, making me see such a frantic and disordered side of you, which hurt me so much…"
"Maybe, I wouldn't have had the courage to face the feelings between you and me."
"And I wouldn't have realized how much space you occupy in my heart, Kaguya…"
Kaguya was stunned for a moment.
The name Zetsu had long been on her must-kill list.
But hearing Aomi's words, Kaguya felt that it made sense… The betrayer didn't succeed in driving a wedge between her and Aomi but acted more like a catalyst.
Thinking this way, Kaguya's hatred and killing intent towards Zetsu naturally diminished.
Hearing Aomi's confession once more, Kaguya's face blushed, and she nodded, her voice faint as a mosquito's buzz.
But then, noticing a hint of redness on Aomi's face, a mischievous feeling rose within her.
Since being with Aomi…
Aomi's image had always been that of a graceful and strategic person, whether teaching Kaguya basic fighting skills and methods or ambushing the Otsutsuki group as a warrior and strategist, he performed outstandingly.
Watching Aomi, who had lost the Ten-tails, setting a huge bait by self-sealing amidst the backward information gap…
Later dealing with Urashiki and Momoshiki, he was extremely brilliant—those two couldn't withstand a few of Aomi's punches and were defeated effortlessly.
He is a top-tier man in combat.
Being Aomi's ally in battle, Kaguya experienced what true peace of mind is.
But in matters of emotion, Kaguya was surprised to find Aomi showing an unprecedented expression… A shy, blushing Aomi was indeed a rare sight!
Kaguya chuckled, her lips curling into a lovely arc.
Her fair eyes seemed to shimmer with love, like a lazy cat nestled in Aomi's embrace, her slender, white fingers gently hooking his chin.
Just like Aomi once held her chin.
She breathed warmly and said, "Hey, are you blushing?"
Aomi lightly coughed, turning his head, his handsome face seemingly unable to bear such teasing, the alluring blush deepening once more.
But Kaguya was entranced—"What a beautiful man…"
"Ahem, you know my…"
Aomi turned his head, his tone unusually tinged with nervousness and embarrassment, "I never fight unprepared battles, and I've never encountered this situation before, so I might be a bit clumsy."
Kaguya let out a long 'oh' and teasingly said, "Didn't expect our Aomi to be an innocent young man, huh?"
"Haven't indulged in debauchery with those bad women outside? You're such a beautiful Uchiha…"
Yet Kaguya, though outwardly mature and big-sister-like, was internally cheering—never had such a delightful beginning!
Indeed, she and Aomi were meant to be, each other's first love!
"Where would I get that chance?"
Aomi turned his head and helplessly said, while meeting Kaguya's seductive gaze, "I have spent my life amidst war, conspiracies, and slaughter…"
As for Tsunade.
Aomi chose to selectively ignore.
At least, Aomi believed that what was between him and Tsunade was merely a pure sentiment, moving in affection and bound by decorum, at most just a hug.
