Chapter 119 Girls Love Sweet Nothings
Senju Wakama thought it over and over, feeling that if he agreed to Tamayo Nara, with her wolf-like, tiger-like personality, she probably wouldn't stop moaning a dozen times a day.
Tsukuyo wasn't in the clan territory either.
What if he was entertained to death?
Tsukuyo wouldn't even have time to save him.
However, Senju Wakama recalled what his Second Brother Tobirama had said earlier today.
He was sure Tsukuyo would return within three days, all because of Brother Zetsu.
After a long silence, Senju Wakama finally relented, "...Wait until my younger sister comes home; she can examine you and check your physical condition. We can consider it then."
Although the girl in front of him was 'clingy' and somewhat annoying, as she herself said, she was a fresh and delightful beauty.
Tsukuyo often 'encouraged' him to date different girls. Since this girl came to him herself, then... he might as well give her a chance.
Hearing Senju Wakama's words, Tamayo Nara's eyes suddenly lit up, "When is she coming back?"
"Within seven days, probably..." Senju Wakama estimated.
Kumata's side was already showing dissatisfaction with the Uzumaki clan's excessive feasting.
If all the hostile animals were killed off, they might have to provide meat from their own kind in the future. The animals had learned many sustainable development strategies from Tsukuyo, so of course, Kumata was unhappy.
Even if they weren't the ones hunting, they didn't want the Senju clan to eat those 'ingredients' to the point of extinction.
The key was that no money was being made.
If there was money, the Senju clan would have gifts to give back to the animals.
But the Uzumaki clan was purely freeloading.
Senju Wakama had to maintain appearances, letting them feast to their hearts' content.
However, Senju Wakama knew very well that once Tsukuyo returned, she would definitely make the freeloading Uzumaki clan suffer a great loss.
No one could make Tsukuyo lose out.
Hearing Senju Wakama say seven days, Tamayo Nara's small face instantly fell. She frowned and said, "That's too long, can't it be sooner?"
Senju Wakama looked puzzled. "What exactly is going on with you?"
Senju Wakama couldn't understand why there was such an impatient girl who was so eager for intimacy. She hadn't even had her first time, so why was she so persistent?
Tamayo Nara sighed softly, "Alright, I'll wait..."
Seeing her demeanor, Senju Wakama felt there was still something more to it.
However, if Tamayo Nara intended not to speak, even if Senju Wakama asked, he might not get the true answer.
Having been long taught by both Tsukuyo and Zetsu, Senju Wakama typically prioritized his own feelings.
As for why girls liked him?
What was the real reason girls pursued him?
None of it mattered.
Just as Tamayo Nara herself said.
There was no single correct path in this world.
He only needed to make his own choices the correct ones.
Therefore, whatever secret Tamayo Nara held, it would eventually be exposed, even if Senju Wakama didn't ask.
But if this secret were never to be exposed, it would essentially be the same as not existing at all.
As long as the girl harbored no ill will towards him, he wouldn't lose out.
After opening the blind box, Tamayo Nara began waiting nearby again.
Senju Wakama still used Clone Jutsu.
He left a clone to work while his main body left with Tamayo Nara.
Clones working, main body dating girls.
This technique was originally covertly taught to him by Zetsu, named Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Fortunately, having been crippled and healed many times by Tsukuyo, Senju Wakama's strength was far greater than two years ago, and his chakra reserves were also sufficiently powerful, so performing Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu wasn't too strenuous.
He led Tamayo Nara back into Hot Spring Street.
Something seemed to have changed between the two of them.
Tamayo Nara chirped like a lively little sparrow, constantly talking in his ear.
Senju Wakama mostly just listened.
At this point, Tamayo Nara seemed very innocent and pure, recounting various people and events around her, both good and bad.
After an unknown period, perhaps because Senju Wakama remained silent, Tamayo Nara hesitantly stopped narrating and cautiously asked, "Am I bothering you by telling you all this?"
"Not at all..." Senju Wakama replied gently.
"But you're not saying anything," Tamayo Nara said, holding the cotton candy Senju Wakama had casually gotten for her, looking even more troubled. "I know my pestering you is quite 'annoying.' If I were pestered by someone I didn't like, I'd also be very annoyed. Honestly, thank you so much for being so tolerant with me."
Tamayo Nara held the cotton candy, looking at Senju Wakama, "Actually... if you had continued to reject me, perhaps... I would have disappeared from your sight tomorrow. But now, your gentleness makes me a little sad."
Senju Wakama looked at her uncomprehendingly.
Tamayo Nara whispered, "My extreme behavior towards you earlier displeased the clan head. Considering my body hadn't fully recovered, he didn't overly criticize me, but tomorrow I have to leave here."
"Every day, a Senju clan physician comes to check my pulse. Actually, since this morning, the physician has already signed the certificate proving my recovery."
"You said that before my body recovered, my room and board would be completely free. After recovery, if I wanted to continue staying here, I'd have to settle the fees."
"I have to say, the expenses here are truly high; the clan head can't quite bear them."
"So, Wakama, I'm leaving here. Do you really dislike me? Can you answer truthfully?"
Senju Wakama looked at the seemingly forlorn beauty before him and smiled slightly, "No, I don't dislike anyone, including you."
"Eh?" Tamayo Nara looked at him, puzzled.
But then Senju Wakama sincerely stated, "People should enjoy this world, not try to understand it."
"I don't understand your entanglement with me, but that doesn't stop me from going with the flow. Perhaps agreeing to be with you isn't necessarily a bad outcome."
"I won't analyze why you do what you do, and I won't ponder how much trouble this causes me. I'll only consult my own heart: I'll do what I want to do. I only intend to enjoy the beauty of the world, not to dwell on its cruelty."
"If you bring me beauty, I will cherish it."
"If you bring me ill will, I will discard it as soon as possible."
"I will consider my own feelings first, seeking my own comfort before thinking of others. If I disliked you, I naturally wouldn't have accompanied you here."
Tamayo Nara stared blankly at Senju Wakama for a while.
Senju Wakama stood tall and proud, exuding an indescribable composure, elegant and refined.
That was the poise and demeanor Senju Wakama had cultivated over two years, amidst countless crises and hardships, possessing a unique, captivating charm.
Having been at loggerheads with Senju Wakama for just a few days, and after several rounds of negotiation, Tamayo Nara was indeed unconsciously drawn to him.
Now, seeing Senju Wakama's nonchalant expression, Tamayo Nara's heart couldn't help but flutter.
A genuine smile appeared on Tamayo Nara's pretty face, "Thank you, Senju Wakama."
Senju Wakama smiled and said nothing.
Indeed, sweet words were appreciated by any girl...
