Messy Misunderstanding

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that scared you," Mei Terumi smiled warmly at Kaguya, unexpectedly kind without a hint of arrogance.

"No, no, it's nothing," Kaguya quickly waved her hands, her eyes showing a grateful expression, "Thank you so much."

"It's what I should do. To compensate for your trouble, we would like to help you find your relatives," Mei Terumi smiled.

"No need, thank you," Kaguya shook her head and waved her hand, "I'll find them myself. It would be too much trouble for you."

"It's no trouble at all," Mei Terumi smiled, "I'm quite familiar with this place and I'm sure I can help you find them." Because Mei Terumi was quite tall, she bent down slightly to speak to Kaguya.

"Actually," Kaguya bit her lip, her face showing hesitation, and finally said, "I don't have any relatives here."

"Oh," Mei Terumi looked at Kaguya in surprise.

The surrounding Mist Ninjas immediately surrounded them, alert and wary, as if fearing Kaguya might harm the Mizukage.

"Stand down," Mei Terumi waved her hand at the Mist Ninjas, dismissing them, "Then why are you here?"

"Actually," Kaguya's eyes filled with tears, "My family was killed in the war, and I'm the only one left. On the way, I encountered human traffickers who tried to capture me. I hid everywhere and finally stowed away on a ship to escape their pursuit."

"I see," Mei Terumi looked at Kaguya's face and understood, thinking that she herself would want to take Kaguya in, let alone anyone else.

Mei Terumi walked over, gently stroked Kaguya's hair, and hugged her, "Since you have no place to go, why not stay with me?"

"Okay," Kaguya nodded slightly.

Mei Terumi happily embraced her, smiling, "I have a new little follower."

In a place where others couldn't see, Kaguya's eyes glowed faintly, as beautiful as a nebula.

Kaguya couldn't hear anything else; her mind was filled with one thought: So voluptuous, too voluptuous.

That evening, Kaguya was invited to dinner at Mei Terumi's house, along with Chojuro and Ao. Chojuro was one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist and one of Mei Terumi's most trusted subordinates. He had white hair, wore glasses, and carried two large swords on his back.

Chojuro seemed very shy, especially after seeing Kaguya. His face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands, looking like an embarrassed young boy.

Ao, on the other hand, was a middle-aged man with an eye patch over his right eye and a serious expression. He seemed somewhat suspicious of Kaguya, often using his Byakugan to observe her. But Kaguya didn't mind; her unique physiology made it hard for a typical Byakugan to see through her.

With her exceptional acting skills and the ability to control people's minds with her Tenseigan, Kaguya earned Mei Terumi's goodwill. However, this was the limit since Mei Terumi was no pushover and couldn't be easily controlled.

Kaguya became a secretary by Mei Terumi's side, responsible for organizing documents and books, as well as handling various miscellaneous tasks.

Mei Terumi was unexpectedly easy to get along with and seemed to like Kaguya, often keeping her close. In private moments, she would occasionally pinch Kaguya's cheek, which left Kaguya feeling helpless. She never thought she would one day be teased. Kaguya resolved to get back at Mei Terumi when she had the chance.

What Kaguya enjoyed was that Mei Terumi often stayed with her, like today.

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom, and the frosted glass revealed a tall, graceful figure. Kaguya felt her face flush with heat.

"Kaguya, aren't you coming to wash?" Mei Terumi's voice came from the bathroom.

"No," Kaguya swallowed, "I'm good."

"Come and join me," Mei Terumi's head poked out from the bathroom, "Why so shy? We're both women, nothing to be embarrassed about."

"I'd rather not." Please stop tempting me, Kaguya screamed internally.

"Alright then," Mei Terumi said with a hint of disappointment, suddenly remembering something, "Oh, could you bring me the body wash from the table?"

"Is it this white bottle?" Kaguya waved a small white bottle in her hand.

"Yes, that's the one. Bring it here." Mei Terumi beckoned.

Kaguya walked over and extended the bottle. Unexpectedly, Mei Terumi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom.

Suddenly, Kaguya was engulfed in a scene of white, soft curves. Not only that, but her head was buried in something soft and warm, and she could feel two small points. She felt dizzy, her nose warming up.

"Kaguya, come on, help me scrub my back."

Kaguya felt utterly embarrassed. Instead of taking advantage of Mei Terumi, she had been the one taken advantage of. Her resolve was clearly lacking. However, she couldn't help but verify that Mei Terumi's body was indeed as perfect as it seemed.

That part, and that part, and even that part...

This incident made Mei Terumi tease her for a long time until Kaguya genuinely started to get angry.

"Let's go eat," Mei Terumi said with a smile, "You like dango, right? A new dango shop opened recently, and it's delicious. Let's go."

"Mizukage-sama, it's not time to leave work yet," Chojuro said helplessly.

"So what? There's nothing urgent to do," Mei Terumi waved dismissively.

"Dango shop?" Ao suddenly spoke up, "Isn't that the shop you mentioned the other day, the one you had built to improve the villagers' diet?"

Mei Terumi appeared behind Ao without warning, whispering in his ear, "Say that again, and I might just kill you."

Ao froze, feeling a chill down his spine, nearly breaking into a sweat.

"Alright, let's go," Mei Terumi said, grabbing Kaguya's hand and heading out.

Kaguya quickly stopped and said, "Mizukage-sama, I'm sorry, but I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

"I told you to stop calling me Mizukage-sama, just call me sister," Mei Terumi said disapprovingly, "You love dango, is something wrong with your health?"

"Yes," Kaguya nodded slightly, feeling embarrassed, "I'm not feeling well."

"What's wrong?" Mei Terumi suddenly seemed to realize something, clapping her hands, "Oh, I see. In that case, take a few days off and rest at home."

"Huh?" Kaguya was puzzled. She hadn't said anything specific, but it seemed Mei Terumi already knew...

Kaguya suddenly thought of something and felt a bit flustered. She seemed to have misunderstood...
