Chapter 262: The Bathhouse
Inside the bathhouse, white steam swirled in the air.
In the large bath, only Samui and Mabui were present.
With the migration of the Cloud Village underway, everyone else was busy packing. No one had the leisure to soak in the village bathhouse.
In the empty room, the sound of splashing water was constant. Hot water poured in from one end, flowed through the pool, and exited the other, maintaining the most comfortable temperature for the human body.
Samui leaned against the smooth river stone wall, her elbows resting on the edge. Her chest was proudly exposed, her posture completely uninhibited.
Phew...
She exhaled softly, her blue eyes gazing absently at the ceiling.
The familiar ceiling, the familiar bathhouse, and the familiar friend beside her... everything seemed no different from before.
But the world had changed.
She was no longer the elite Jonin who viewed the village as her life, but Samui of the Akatsuki.
Now relaxed, thinking back on the past, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of emotion. But it was just that—emotion. There was no regret. Her current state proved her choice was right.
Under the warm incandescent lights, Samui's skin glowed white. Her medium-length blonde hair was wet, plastered to her skin. Droplets of water fell from her forehead, sliding down her smooth cheeks, past her pointed chin, gliding over her swan-like neck, and pooling in her collarbone.
The pool soon overflowed, and the droplets continued their descent, plunging into the deep abyss below.
Mabui leaned quietly beside her. Her silver-grey hair was let down, draped wetly over her shoulders. She hugged her upper body, her mood complicated.
Samui had betrayed the village and the Raikage. And she, who always prided herself on rationality, had been persuaded to do the same.
Sigh...
Mabui sighed internally. This was the reality; she had to choose this path to have a chance to protect the villagers.
Splash...
The water rippled, and Samui's massive breasts bobbed gently with the waves.
Mabui looked sideways, her eyes widening. "Samui, if you get any bigger, your upper body might actually float..."
They were already huge before, the pride of the entire Cloud Village. Every time they bathed together, Mabui saw them floating on the surface.
She hadn't expected them to go up a cup size since they last met...
Samui smiled confidently, picking up a towel to wipe the water from her face. She suddenly straightened her back, giving Mabui a clearer view.
"This is capital," she said coolly. "Lord Alex likes them very much."
"Samui, you..."
Mabui looked at Samui in disbelief. She never thought the cool, aloof Samui—who was stronger than most men—would take pride in such a strange thing.
It was simply... incomprehensible.
If the male ninjas in the village who had always admired Samui knew this, they would probably be as baffled as she was. Though, it was also possible that such a contrast would make them admire her even more...
Samui turned and leaned closer to Mabui, speaking slowly. "Mabui, there are some things human will cannot control... No matter how tough the will, there are ways to destroy it."
Her face flushed, radiating an astonishing charm that made even Mabui's heart beat faster.
"Sa... Samui, you..."
"Shh..." Samui interrupted her. "No need to speak. Leave everything to me. I will teach you some knowledge so there is a higher chance Lord Alex will accept you."
She spoke softly, "By the side of Lord Alex and Lord Konan, we will have long lives. I hope that many years from now, I will still have a friend from the village with me, to help me remember the Cloud Village that once was..."
