Just a Little Massage

Just like that, the fight between Karin and Haru ended rather anti-climaticly, and it was time for the next one. Neji Hyuga against Hisoka Hyuga.

In the spectator stands, Mei had an annoyed expression on her face. Not only are all of her genin defeated, but the last one was defeated in such a ridiculous way.

"Couldn't you have denied Karin's claims, Yuna? Then Haru could have at least had a proper fight."

"Well, my student made up such a colorful description of me, so how could I possibly break her heart and dismiss it as wrong."

Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle in amusement went she heard Yuna's explanation.

"And what is the real reason?"

"Confirming her description would result in a funnier reaction."

"Yeah, I thought so."

Mei's eyebrow twitched in irritation when she heard the conversation between Yuna and Tsunade and huffed in annoyance.

"Whatever, but you will have to compensate me for making one of my genin forfeit without fighting."

"Sure, how about I give her a sword lesson? I might not have the character she thought I had, but I can certainly teach her a thing or two about swordsmanship. Hehe, or did you maybe think of a more...personal compensation."

When Yuna finished speaking, she waggled her eyebrows, causing Mei's face a blush a little.

"*Cough* A sword lesson will be enough."

"Oh? Are you sure? Just so you are aware, my massages can even turn gods into putty. Oh well, your loss."

"E-Eh, m-massage?"

"Of course. What did you think I meant?"

Mei glanced at Yuna, who currently had an innocent expression on her face, and scoffed in disdain.

"You sure have guts looking at me like that after happily agreeing to Karin's description of you."

"Hehe, thanks for the praise."

"*Sigh* Whatever, I wouldn't mind a massage right now."

Before Yuna could fulfill Mei's request, Hinata had something else to say.

"Personally, I don't recommend doing that."

Mei couldn't help but look at Hinata with a smirk.

"Ohh~ Is someone jealous?"

Mei expected Hinata to get angry due to her teasing, but her reaction was completely different. She only raised her eyebrows, gave Mei a pity-filled gaze, and then shrugged her shoulders.

"Sure, let's just go with that."

Mei was taken aback by Hinata's reaction but didn't know what to do with it. Moments later, Yuna's hand softly landed on Mei's shoulders, so she decided not to bother with Hinata's reaction anymore.

"Hehe, no need to worry about Hinata, Mei. Let me give you a nice shoulder massage. Your shoulders must be pretty stiff due to all the paperwork, right?"

Mei nodded in agreement when she heard Yuna's words and decided to simply enjoy the massage.

Meanwhile, Gaara and Tsunade's gazes met, and both of them nodded their heads at each other while sharing the same thought.

' 'Mei is in trouble.' '

At the same time, the two fighters entered the arena and got into a fighting stance. While Neji took the typical Gentle Fist stance, Hisoka took a slightly modified one, causing Neji's eyes to widen in surprise.

"Is that really fine? Although I didn't plan to tell anyone about your modified Gentle Fist, if you use it publicly like this, there is no way I can keep it a secret."

When Hisoka heard Neji's question, a wry smile appeared on her face that looked a little bit like she was about to start crying.

"Yuna-sensei said she would kick my ass if I lose due to not fighting with everything I have."

Neji's eyes widened for a second before he nodded in understanding.

"My condolences. But what will you do about the Hyuga clan?"

"Yuna-sensei said that I should just claim that she forced me to use it to mock the Hyuga clan."

"Again, my condolences."

"..."

Hisoka really wanted to cry right now. No matter how much condolence Neji gave her, wasn't she still trapped between a rock and a hard place?

*MOAN*

The proctor was just about to start the match when a loud moan echoed through the stadium resulting in everyone's heads snapping towards the source of the sound.

In the Kage's VIP box, Mei's face was flushed red, while her hands were frantically trying to suppress the sounds coming out of her mouth. Behind her stood Yuna, who had her hands on Mei's shoulders and casually massaged them while seemingly not even noticing Mei's plight.

Everyone was looking at Mei in total bewilderment, with the exception of Hinata, who had a smug expression on her face.

"*Mmph* I tried to warn you, but you didn't want to listen."

When Mei heard Hinata's words, she tried to argue back, but before she could do so, another jolt of pleasure pulsed through her body, forcing her to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent another moan from coming out.

"Well, Hinata, no need to be like that. If you want, I can give you a massage as well."

A light blush appeared on Hinata's face, but she nonetheless nodded her head in agreement.

"O-Okay, but let's do it in private."

"Haha, no need to be shy. I don't mind doing it in public."

"BUT I DO!!!"

Meanwhile, Neji looked at what was happening inside the VIP box in bewilderment.

"What in the world is she doing."

Hisoka gave the scene another glance before she answered Neji's question.

"From the way it looks, I think Yuna-sama in giving the Mizukage a massage."

Neji's bewildered gaze switched from Yuna and Mei to Hisoka, who didn't seem to be fazed in the slightest.

"W-Why are you so calm? Isn't the whole situation utterly outrageous?"

Hisoka looked at Neji with dead eyes, causing him to flinch, and answered Neji's question.

"Karin is my teammate, and Yuna is my sensei."

At first, Neji wasn't sure what Hisoka was talking about, but his eyes widened in realization after a short moment as he awkwardly lowered his head.

"*Cough* My condolences."

Hearing Neji say "my condolences" for the third time, Hisoka finally snapped, and her battle intent exploded.

"DAMNIT, I DON'T NEED YOUR SHITTY CONDOLENCE; I NEED TO BECOME A CHUNIN TO GET AWAY FROM THIS TEAM, SO OBEDIENTLY LIE DOWN AND GET BEATEN BY MY!!!"

And so, the fight between the two Hyugas began with a desperate outcry that barely anyone noticed due to their attention being on the struggling Mei.
