"Hikari, that's enough…"
Orochimaru was pinned against the refrigerator and kissed by Uchiha Hikari.
Uchiha Hikari, despite being only about 1.6 meters tall and not even 1.7 meters, was pinning and kissing Orochimaru, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.
"Not enough! I'm 18!"
Uchiha Hikari, unsatisfied, kissed her again, unleashing the emotions she felt for her.
"If you keep this up, I can't cook… Mmm…"
Orochimaru passively held Uchiha Hikari's slender waist, wanting to push her away with force, but worried about hurting her fragile and sensitive heart.
"That's enough!"
Orochimaru pushed Uchiha Hikari away, her face flushed, her breathing a little rapid. Looking at her slightly swollen lips, she felt the pain in her own lips. She clenched her fist and lightly tapped her on the head, then put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Tell me, how many times have you kissed me since I entered the kitchen? Is there no end to it? Do you still want to eat or not?"
"Only a dozen or so times… just over twenty times…"
Uchiha Hikari covered her head with both hands, looking at Orochimaru with a resentful gaze.
She had finally waited until she came of age, but Orochimaru had been on the battlefield. After returning home and resting for a short while, she was back on the battlefield. Let alone doing *that*, even the number of kisses was pitifully few.
She wanted to, but she didn't want to disturb Orochimaru's rest.
With the war showing signs of ending, Orochimaru could finally have a relatively long period of rest. Naturally, she found it difficult to suppress the emotions and desires she had been diligently suppressing all this time.
"'Only'?"
Orochimaru's fist hardened. Seeing Uchiha Hikari's pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but think of the night she first moved in, like a small stray cat she had picked up from a trash can, treating her as her sole reliance.
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Uchiha Hikari held a hint of helplessness.
"Orochimaru, you haven't given me an answer yet. I've waited for so, so long…"
Seeing Orochimaru's attitude soften, Uchiha Hikari hugged her waist, looking at her with a wronged expression.
"This is my answer."
Orochimaru lifted Uchiha Hikari's chin and kissed her swollen lips.
"Satisfied?"
"Mhm."
Uchiha Hikari felt the pain in her lips, but her heart was sweet, as if she had eaten a very delicious honey candy.
"You promised to be my assistant, you sly little cat!"
Orochimaru pinched Uchiha Hikari's cheek, not using the Mystical Palm Technique to heal her lips, letting her feel the pain for a while as punishment.
"If I'm a cat, then I'm your cat, Orochimaru, meow~!"
Uchiha Hikari blushed shyly, making her hands into cat paws like a beckoning cat.
"Wow! What an adorable little cat!"
Orochimaru covered her mouth, looking as if she had been charmed by Uchiha Hikari's cuteness, thinking it best not to tell her about the relationship between ninja cats and the Uchiha Clan. Otherwise, she might never see her make such cute gestures again.
"Alright, go help me prepare the ingredients."
Orochimaru patted Uchiha Hikari's head.
"Okay!"
Uchiha Hikari quickly went to tidy up the ingredients.
When the meal was almost ready, Orochimaru used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal Uchiha Hikari's slightly swollen lips.
At the dinner table, unsurprisingly, Jiraiya appeared, along with Nawaki who had come along to mooch a meal.
The 10-year-old Nawaki was already 1.3 meters tall, and he might surpass Uchiha Hikari in a few years.
Regarding this, Uchiha Hikari developed height anxiety. She strongly suspected that the Uchiha Clan from the Sengoku period had experimented on her, causing her to be so short!
She was already 18 years old and had no room left to grow!
Otherwise, she would definitely be over 1.7 meters tall, and when kissing Orochimaru, she wouldn't have to stand on tiptoe, almost needing to step on a stool!
Thinking of this, she hated herself for being too cowardly back then. Even with such powerful strength, she was willing to be their weapon. She should have used Amaterasu to burn them to ashes!
"Big sister Orochimaru, big brother Jiraiya, big sister Snake Princesses, sister, how long can you rest this time?"
Nawaki held a cup with both hands, took a big gulp of juice, looked at everyone at the table, and really hoped they could rest more.
Over the past few years, he had witnessed the cruelty of war, attended many funerals, and had long since lost his previous naive thoughts.
"Who can say for sure about such things?"
Jiraiya didn't really want to talk about the war; the long years of conflict had left him physically and mentally exhausted.
"Based on the current situation, we should be able to rest for a while."
Orochimaru wasn't sure if Sunagakure's actions would bring changes to the war that was about to end. She very much hoped the war would end soon, so she could have more time for research and being with her lovers.
"Little Nawaki, even if you ask me, I can't answer that for you~!"
Ichikishimahime picked up a meatball with her chopsticks, took a bite, and said while wagging her finger.
"Nawaki, you little rascal, itching for trouble again? Why did you put me last?"
Tsunade once again doubted if Nawaki was her real younger brother. How could there be a brother who set up his sister like this? Putting her last was one thing, but even behind Jiraiya? If anything, she should be after Orochimaru!
"I'm not afraid of you! I've already learned the Water Release Ninjutsu that big sister Orochimaru taught me!"
Nawaki made a provocative expression and formed hand seals, about to perform Water Release.
Everyone was so startled they hurriedly stopped him. The meal wasn't finished yet; they didn't want him flipping the table with Water Release again.
"You little brat! Do you still want to eat or not?!"
Tsunade angrily punched Nawaki. She held back her strength.
"Ouch!"
Nawaki covered his head and yelled. Even with held-back strength, a punch to the head was very painful.
