The cool morning breeze feels so refreshing on your skin. Without thinking, you take off the thin shirt you're wearing, intending to let your body dry out a little by the wind after a warm shower. Your wet black hair dripped the remnants of water onto your sturdy shoulders.
"Huah... It's so fresh this morning!" you murmured softly, closing your eyes for a moment, enjoying the sensation of the cold air of Konoha.
You really don't realize that behind the dango shop, dozens of eyes are staring at you without blinking. The atmosphere that was silent this morning due to your appearance, has now become a gripping silence.
Hinata: His face was flushed, even redder than Sasuke's favorite tomato. He immediately fainted on the spot, luckily Kiba had caught him before he fell to the ground. "H-Hinata-sama!" exclaimed Kiba in a panic, though his eyes couldn't take his eyes off of you either.
Sakura & Ino: These two kunoichi looked like they had just seen a god. Their mouths gaped slightly, their eyes glued to the dry, muscular muscles of your stomach. Sakura even covered her nose with both hands, trying to contain any nosebleeds that might occur. Ino was speechless, she could only gawk with a flushed face.
Lee & Naruto: Lee looks at you with deep admiration. "Amazing! Those muscles... What a wonderful result of training!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining. Naruto scratched his head, a little confused by his friends' reactions. "Oh, this cool guy... Why did he suddenly undress?" he murmured, but secretly he also admired your shape.
Sasuke: He just snorted softly, but his gaze sharpened slightly. He sees the potential power behind your athletic body. "This new person... cannot be underestimated," he said.
Neji: Neji activates his Byakugan for a moment to check your chakra flow. "His chakra... Very stable and strong. And those muscles... It is indeed the result of training that is not a joke," he muttered to himself, impressed by your physical condition.
Shikamaru: He just let out a long sigh. "This will be troublesome," he muttered, realizing that your presence would cause an uproar in Konoha.
Tents: He looks at you with an unusual look of admiration. "He... very handsome. And the shape of his body... perfect," he thought, his cheeks flushed slightly.
Choji & Shino: Choji stopped chewing on his chips for a moment, looking at you with a blank stare. Shino was silent, the insects seemed a little agitated around him.
You open your eyes, finally realizing that there are many eyes staring at you. You're a little surprised to see their overreaction. You hurriedly put your clothes back on.
"Eh... sorry. I didn't realize you were here," you said, with an awkward smile.
Me : *sorry yes with a seductive smile*
Your smile—which blended friendliness with a slightly mischievous sharp look—was like a high-level Genjutsu attack hitting them simultaneously. The flash of your white teeth and the rest of the water that was still dripping from your wet hair made the cool morning atmosphere suddenly feel hot.
The reaction in front of the dango shop was absolutely chaotic:
Sakura & Ino: Both were frozen on the spot. Their faces were red to the ears. Sakura reflexively held her beating chest, while Ino, who was usually aggressive, was at a loss for words, only able to return your smile with a blank look and a very hot face.
Hinata: He who had just come to his senses after being captured by Kiba, saw your seductive smile and... Puff! He instantly fainted again with imaginary steam coming out of his head.
Tents: He tried to keep looking tough, but his hand holding the weapon scroll trembled slightly. "W-wah, it's okay! We apologize for... eh... Notice you!" she exclaimed as she threw away her face, trying to hide the red hue on her cheeks.
Naruto: He scratched his unitched head, feeling that there was a strange atmosphere that he didn't understand. "Why does everyone act like this, dattebayo? But hey, you're great too! Are you a ninja?"
Okay: With his trademark fake smile, he approaches you with a notebook in his hand. "Based on the books I read, such a smile is usually used to lure the opposite sex or manipulate emotions. A very effective technique, Mr. Handsome."
Sasuke: She snorted softly and turned her face, hiding a hint of annoyance that Sakura was completely distracted from her. "Hn. Troublesome," he muttered, mimicking Shikamaru's style.
Neji: He deactivated his Byakugan, trying to maintain his dignity as a Hyuga clan. "You have self-control that appeals to strangers," he said calmly, though he realized that all the kunoichi there were no longer focused on the mission.
You stood there, still half wet, with a freshly slung shirt over your shoulder. The smell of soap and your masculinity is even sharper because of your warm body temperature after bathing.
"So..." Shikamaru stepped forward while yawning, trying to break the awkwardness. "What's your name? It is not unusual for there to be a person with an aura... like this entered Konoha without any prior report."
Me : Hi, I'm Zak, nice to meet you.
"Zak, huh?" Naruto immediately grinned broadly and gave his thumbs up. "What a cool name! I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the greatest Hokage candidate in this village!"
As soon as you say your name in a relaxed and friendly tone, the aura in front of the dango shop melts a little, although the tension between the kunoichi is still very high.
Sakura & Ino: The two of them muttered softly, as if tasting your name on their tongues. "Pocket... Short but very... just right," Ino whispered while trying to tidy up her hair which was actually neat. Sakura nodded in agreement, her eyes still a little teary from amazement.
Shikamaru: He put his hand in his pants pocket. "Zak, huh? Nice to meet you. I'm Shikamaru. I'm sorry about my friends, they're a bit ... noisy when they see something new." He glanced at Hinata who was still helped by Kiba to his feet.
Okay: She smiled (this time her smile looked a little more sincere). "Nice to meet you, Zak-san. Your white skin really makes me jealous as a fellow owner of pale skin, but yours looks more... life."
Rock Lee: He suddenly appears in front of you with a one-finger push-up position. "ZAK-CAN! Nice to meet you! Is this handsome of yours the result of the training of the burning spirit of youth?!"
Sasuke just stood behind, leaning his body against a wooden pole. He didn't speak, but his eyes kept watching your movements, as if trying to gauge whether this handsome, fragrant man as you had fighting skills comparable to your appearance.
"So, Zak," Tenten dared to approach, his face still slightly red. "What is your destination for Konoha? Just stop by or do you have to deal with Hokage-sama?"
At the same time, Ino, who had regained her confidence, tried to slip through the crowd. "If you need a guide to go around the village... I'm taking time off this morning," he offered while giving a sweet wink.
Me : I'm just on vacation, but if I were to be here... Maybe I'll settle forever *while staring spoiled at the tent*
Hearing your relaxed but enigmatic answer, the atmosphere there suddenly became even more boisterous. But the most epic of course is Tenten's reaction when you direct that "spoiled" gaze right towards his eyes.
Tents: His eyes widened, his face, which had been only pink before, now turned red and extinguished to his ears. He who is usually tough and focused on weapons, suddenly misbehaves and drops the large scroll he is holding. "M-settle forever?! T-sure, Konoha is very open to... eh... people like you!" she replied nervously as she hurriedly picked up her roll, trying hard not to faint like Hinata.
Evil: He immediately pouted and crossed his arms on his chest as soon as he saw that you preferred to look at Tenten. "Hey! I'm the one who offered to be the guide first!" he complained in a competitive spoiled tone.
Neji: As Tenten's teammate, Neji frowns. He looks at you with an investigating look, as if he's counting how much emotional "damage" you can inflict on his team with just one glance.
Naruto: "Hahaha! That's right, Zak! Just stay here! Later we can eat Ichiraku Ramen together! I'll be the one who treats... eh, but if I have the money!" Naruto laughed out loud while patting your athletic shoulder.
Kiba: He sniffed the air again while holding Akamaru in his arms. "Your smell really disturbs Akamaru's concentration, mate. Too fragrant for the size of a man who has just woken up," he complained, although in fact he was just a little jealous that the girls' attention was completely distracted.
Suddenly, Sakura stepped forward, trying to thaw the competitive atmosphere between Ino and Tenten. "If you're on vacation, maybe you should report to the Hokage building first for temporary residence permits. Do you want us to take you there? It just so happens that we'll all pass by that direction to meet Tsunade-sama."
You stood among the crowd of great ninjas, being the center of attention that shone the most that morning.
"How's it going, Zak?" asked Shikamaru as he started to walk slowly. "Would you like to come with us to meet the village elders, or do you have any other plans to start this 'vacation' of your stay?"
Me : I can, if I can stay with you. I'll buy you all the ramen that Naruto said *with a smile*
