Border Friction

Shintaro left Fugaku's house.

He didn't go straight home but instead left the Uchiha Clan's station and arrived at the Yuhi house in the middle of Konoha.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

He knocked on the door. He noticed that Kurenai on the other side of the door was lying down behind the peephole to clearly see who was at the door and opened the door happily.

"Shintaro, why are you here?"

Kurenai's smile was very bright, showing that the beauty within was starting to blossom.

Shintaro smiled wickedly, then hugged her, lowering his head and kissing her forehead.

"What are you doing~"

Kurenai looked very shy, but she didn't resist at all.

"I suddenly missed you."

Shintaro entered the room with a smile.

"Father went on a mission today. I advised him to take good care of himself, but he didn't listen."

Kurenai was walking inside the house while holding Shintaro's hand and suddenly said something.

Shintaro nodded while thinking, then said, "Then I'll sleep with you here tonight."

Given how shy girls are, it was, of course, impossible for Kurenai to take the initiative, so Shintaro took the initiative after hearing the implication of Kurenai's words.

Kurenai snorted, "I knew you were so lewd."

"Aren't I afraid you'll be too lonely alone? So, as your fiancé, may I sleep in your room?" Shintaro smiled and waved his hand, then asked proactively.

Kurenai blushed and lowered her head upon hearing this, "You… Don't ever think of doing anything bad."

"I swear I won't do anything bad."

"Fine, but you have to set boundaries. You can't cross them."

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

The serious attitude on Kurenai's face looked very cute to Shintaro. It was the shyness and worry of a teenage girl about things between men and women.

As someone who had experienced this, Shintaro naturally understood.

"Meow~" Shiro was lying on the sofa and called out lazily, as if doubting Shintaro's words.

"What's up with you, big fat cat?" Shintaro waved his hand in disgust.

Now Shiro had become fat and chubby after being raised by the Yuhi family. He was no longer as cute as when he was first adopted.

Shiro whined at Shintaro a few times in dissatisfaction, then ran into Kurenai's arms and acted coquettishly.

"If you keep crying, I'll send you to be neutered."

Shiro immediately shut his mouth, knowing the current situation very well.

"Really, why are you competing with Shiro?"

Kurenai stroked Shiro's head then put him down.

"It's late, I'm going to take a bath." She turned and said.

"Mm."

Shintaro squatted on the ground, resting his head on his hands and watching Kurenai's back.

"I still have to wait a few more years…"

He smiled, thinking of some things inappropriate for children.

After all, he wasn't a novice, and he was still experienced in the beautiful things between men and women.

It was late at night, and both were ready to sleep.

Kurenai wore thin white and red pajamas. She stepped on the tatami with bare feet and folded the blanket into a vertical line in the middle of the tatami to form a boundary line.

"You sleep on the left side, and I sleep on the right side. You can't cross the line."

"I understand."

There was still a smile on Shintaro's face, which made Kurenai feel a little dangerous.

"I'm serious."

"I understand."

"Alright, then I'll turn off the lights."

The darkness of night immediately enveloped the room.

Both of them closed their eyes.

Kurenai opened her eyes from time to time and looked at Shintaro beside her.

So she felt relieved and prepared to rest well.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt a hand suddenly climb up to her waist.

Kurenai opened her eyes and saw Shintaro right in front of her.

Shintaro moved to her side along the border line.

"I didn't cross the line."

Shintaro's body was indeed on the other side of the border, but he just turned to the side and stretched out his hand, hugging Kurenai's waist.

"Naughty…" The breath from Kurenai's mouth hit Shintaro's face.

Hearing this, Shintaro pinched her waist.

"What are you doing~"

"I told you not to talk about me." Shintaro said with a grin, "This is your punishment."

Kurenai turned and said, "Ignore you."

Thus, she let Shintaro hug her and slept all night.

❀❀❀

The next morning, Kurenai realized she had turned around and actively clung to Shintaro like a sloth.

Shintaro opened his eyes just in time, "How are you? Did you sleep well?"

From up close, his face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes was very lethal. Coupled with a pair of pale blue eyes with white mist, Kurenai couldn't help but get lost in them.

"Is it time to let go? You've been turning around and clinging to me since midnight. You really couldn't sleep well."

Kurenai blushed and let go of him, "It was just a dream."

Such an explanation seemed weak.

However, Shintaro didn't try to provoke the girl's thoughts any further.

Last night, he turned off [Infinity], so he slept more comfortably than usual, except for the hands and feet on his body.

But Shintaro also enjoyed it.

Kurenai got up, bathed, changed clothes in the changing room, then walked to the kitchen.

"Oops, no ingredients in the fridge. Let's go out for breakfast tomorrow morning."

She appeared from behind the fridge door and said.

Shintaro responded while feeding Shiro cat food.

They both went out.

On the way, Shintaro and Kurenai saw a group of people marching with banners.

"Border friction? Kumogakure?"

Shintaro grasped the key points of the information on these banners.

Sure enough, after Konoha experienced the Kyuubi Rebellion, the other ninja villages became unruly again.

It seemed the first to jump was Amegakure Village.

However, Shintaro also noticed something unusual.

It made sense if something like this happened, he would know it in no time.

However, the procession was first seen on the street.

This indicated that the source of information for this procession was even faster than him. So the power behind it must not be simple.

Sure enough, Shintaro noticed an aura similar to the Root Organization in one of the demonstrators.

'It's Danzo again. It seems he couldn't hold back any longer.'

Kurenai noticed Shintaro was watching the parade, so she asked, "What's wrong, Shintaro, what are you thinking?"

Shintaro came to his senses and said, "Oh, nothing."

But he added as if he was remembering something.

"I wonder, was last night considered border friction?"

"Really, I knew you had no good intentions." Kurenai glared at him.

"What, do you want to awaken your Byakugan?"

Shintaro joked.

Kurenai gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Shintaro's waist, making him gasp.

"Let you talk nonsense."

Kurenai spoke angry words, but after seeing his reaction, she smiled brightly.

Shintaro seemed to have not seen Kurenai's bright smile in a long time.

'Let me protect this smile.'
