Kamidai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This ninja world is just too terrifying, and Kamidai is suffering from stress reactions these days.
Kamidai asked in confusion, "Weren't you out on a mission?"
"I hope today's food ain't flatbread again. The water here is so bitter and sour. Pairing it with flatbread makes it doubly disgusting."
Kamidai rubbed his eyes while muttering and walked towards the door.
Feeling a bit hungry, Kamidai wanted to eat. He checked the time. The food should have been delivered by now.
Kamidai looked up and saw a familiar face, the only friend he had in Sunagakure Village, Yekura.
If it were the Third Kazekage, he wouldn't just stand at the door.
A busy guy like him'd just barge in and get to the point.
Yekura rolled her eyes at Kamidai and said, "Of course I'm back in the village after finishing the mission. I brought you something nice to eat."
Just as Kamidai was about to do something, a familiar voice came, "Hey, it's been so long. Why are you still so socially awkward?"
"Huh?"
Yekura, holding a bag of food, casually pushed the door open and walked into Kamidai's house. She put the food on the table and then plopped down on Kamidai's bed.
Sitting on Kamidai's bed, Yekura immediately noticed the Puppet Kannazuki standing at the foot of the bed. It had a voluptuous figure. She then looked down at herself and said discontentedly, "Can you stop having such dirty thoughts? Puppets are for fighting, not for other stuff. It'd be much better to make male - looking Puppets."
Kamidai was looking at the food Yekura brought him and retorted, "It's you who should stop having dirty thoughts. What's wrong with me making my Puppet look good? Absolutely nothing!"
Kamidai instinctively wanted to close the door, but Yekura just propped her hand against the door to stop him.
After eating several pieces in a row, Kamidai asked, "How long are you staying in the village this time?"
Yekura replied, "Not long. If it's urgent, I have to leave the village for a mission tomorrow."
Kamidai was surprised and said, "So soon?"
Yekura said helplessly, "Even you, who just stay at home all day, should have heard about the current situation. The situation in the entire ninja world is very tense right now. Who knows when a war might break out in our Land of Wind."
Kamidai twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "A war in the Land of Wind? The ninjas from other countries must be crazy to attack a place like the Land of Wind that has nothing."
Yekura, who had a strong sense of identity with Sunagakure Village, immediately retorted, "What do you mean the Land of Wind has nothing? Our Land of Wind has abundant resources, okay!"
Kamidai suddenly asked, "Such as?"
"Such as! Such as... such as..."
Yekura's voice got softer and softer. She couldn't come up with anything after saying 'such as' for a long time.
Seeing Yekura like this, Kamidai didn't laugh at her. Instead, he sighed.
Yekura was 6 years older than Kamidai.
Kamidai was 10 years old this year, while Yekura was already 16 and was already a jounin.
Kamidai and Yekura met completely by accident.
When Kamidai was four years old, his home had piled up too much garbage. Since there were too many people outside during the day, Kamidai dared not go out, so he chose to take out the trash at night.
Because of his furtive appearance, he was spotted by Yekura, who was ten at that time. Thinking Kamidai was up to no good, Yekura immediately rushed over and pinned him to the ground.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Kamidai and Yekura got to know each other after a few run - ins.
Yekura regarded Kamidai as her little brother.
And Kamidai regarded Yekura as his close friend.
Kamidai knew that Yekura would have a tragic end in the future. Seeing that Yekura now had such a strong sense of belonging and honor for Sunagakure Village, he wondered how sad she would be when she learned that the village betrayed her.
Kamidai cautioned, "Don't just blindly charge into the most dangerous places just because someone tells you to. Think it over and prioritize your own safety, okay?"
Yekura said discontentedly, "Why do you make me sound so stupid? Don't underestimate me. I'm a well - known ninja now! Yekura of Scorch Release. Pretty awesome, right!"
When talking about her own moniker, Yekura looked extremely proud.
Kamidai pursed his lips and replied off - handedly, "Alright, alright, you're the best."
Yekura didn't catch Kamidai's perfunctory tone and grinned happily upon hearing the praise.
Yekura asked, "What about you, Kamidai? You're so powerful, but you always hide your strength and won't let me tell others. Sunagakure Village really needs ninjas like you right now. We could team up to defend the village! You'll definitely become a village hero."
Kamidai waved his hand uninterestedly and said, "No thanks. I'm not interested. I'm the kind of guy who's really scared of fighting. As soon as I step on the battlefield, my legs tremble and I'll faint. Isn't that just suicide? My dream isn't to be a hero. My dream is to marry two wives in the future. If you're willing, you can barely be my second wife later."
Yekura glared at Kamidai angrily and said, "Why do I have to be the second wife?!"
Kamidai said matter - of - factly, "Because you've got a bad temper. If you were my first wife, you definitely wouldn't let me marry a second wife. So my first wife has to be very gentle."
Kamidai's expression showed a bit of yearning and excitement.
You could say Kamidai was greedy since one wife wasn't enough for him, but you could also say he wasn't because he only wanted to marry two wives, no more. After all, he couldn't handle too many.
Yekura blushed and shouted, "You're dreaming! I won't be your second wife! No! I definitely won't be your wife! I regard you as my little brother!"
Kamidai glanced sidelong at Yekura with a flushed face and felt like chuckling. "Yeah, yeah, I'm just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Yekura clenched her fists tightly. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore. She got up from the bed, strode quickly towards Kamidai, and then gave him a hard slap.
Phew... Now she felt good.
Kamidai almost wanted to cry.
If I made the Puppet look like a man, I'd be crazy in the head. I'm a man myself. If I made a male Puppet, people would think I have a Mondai with my sexual orientation. My Puppet is so good - looking and pleasing to the eye. Just looking at it can improve my mood when I'm in a bad mood.
Also, I'm reminding you of one thing. I'm not socially awkward. I'm just cautious!
After a comfortable sleep at home, Kamidai got out of bed.
Kamidai saw the food Yekura brought for him and his eyes lit up immediately.
They were all kinds of sushi.
Kamidai couldn't wait and directly picked up a piece of sushi with his hand and put it into his mouth.
When he opened the door and found a figure standing there, Kamidai was startled.
There was an assassin trying to kill him!
