Contract.

When she falls to her knees I can see the shock and confusion on her face.

"I told you"

"You!!, What have you done to me?!"

She walks towards me with apparent anger on her face.

Most likely, right now she's thinking I've drugged her or something.

"Isn't this what we agreed on?"

"Do we agree? What are you talking about?"

She with apparent doubt asks me.

*sigh*

"Hey Satsuki, you really don't believe that what you signed last time was just a piece of paper, do you?"

"What?.. what do you mean?"

She tells me with apparent doubt on her face.

"Oh come on, I know you're pretty smart"

After a few moments she seems to think of something and asks me wanting to see that her assumption is not true.

I immediately give a smile as I explain.

"Okay, I'll explain; that paper is called a ninja contract, they are normally so rare that not many people have them, but let me tell you that their effect is very effective as you may have seen" (PS: For what you don't understand because they are very dense; some of the things explained are Yuu's inventions and are not real)

The moment she listens to me her face turns gloomy as she understands what she did last time.

She screwed up.

"You cheated on me!"

"Oh no, no, no, no, you're wrong, I haven't deceived you, it's just that you have been careless thinking that you just signed a piece of paper"

"..."

She stays silent in frustration because she knows internally that she has taken things lightly.

Well, it's not completely her fault because no one has told her that such an object exists and she has no experience in these contract things.

Seeing Satsuki's frustrated face, she feels that it's time to change the pace of things with a friendly whole.

"But hey, there's no need to get like that; don't you remember that I'm also tied to the conditions, especially the two, so I don't go unpunished"

Now that I've made her see that she's at my mercy, I'm also showing her that I'm somehow at her mercy too.

Hearing my words she subconsciously relaxes her mood as if she has lifted half the weight off her but she still has a frustrated face.

"Look on the bright side, now I have to do my best to help you rehabilitate your clan (lineage), so I am unable to refuse you to give my strongest technique, don't you think it's a fair deal?"

After listening to me she seems to think a little

"So you can't refuse either, but I remember that in the contract it doesn't mention that you are obliged to give me your techniques"

"Oh come on, do I have to explain that too? When I say that I must help you revitalize how can I do it if you the main actor is weak, in the contract it specifies that if I have the possibility to do it then I must do it so I am obliged to cooperate "

I say helplessly in my tone showing a pitiful face, giving the image that I felt compelled to give up that freedom.

Hearing my words, her face becomes relieved and returns to her original form.

It is most likely that she thinks that although she lost liberties it is the same for Yuu, putting in case they both benefit, he benefits from her friendship while she benefits from his power; a fair deal where there is mutual benefit.

Then the pressure that was in her heart is released.

Satsuki-'*sigh*At least I didn't get hurt at all' (PS: this is an internal sigh)

'Well, that should keep her for a while, no doubt that in the future she will discover my lies but it doesn't matter now, whether she can act in the future depends on whether she can do it'

Also if she does find out the true intent of the contract then I predict that she will be scared to death that she will use the second condition for what was her original purpose and not the nonsense that I have told.

"Then how about we find a secluded place?"

I tell her with a smile as I extend her hand to her but she ignores it and stands up on her own.

Without changing the smile on my face.

"then follow me"

I turn her body starting to walk, I'm not afraid that she will refuse because I just made it clear that she can't resist.

"Tsk"

She grimaces as she reluctantly follows me.

Then I headed to the outskirts of the Konoha Forest.

...

As I walked through the door the guards gave me a strange look as they saw Satsuki following behind me but I ignored them keeping a soft smile on my face.

I then head towards the side of the lagoon where I was with Tenten the previous time.

"Isn't the view beautiful?"

"Hm..."

She ignores my question.

"Hey Satsuki, depending on how things turn out today I might show you a technique that's not inferior to yesterday's hardening."

"..."

She arches her eyebrows but then snaps back to her original expression.

I sit on the grass and point to a place next to me indicating that she sit down.

She does it but far away from me.

Without changing my expression I speak to him.

"Hey Satsuki, can I tell you a story?"

She doesn't speak but without her confirmation I start to speak.

Basically I tell her the same story that I told Tenten but more complete because what I told Tenten the other time was a summarized version since she had told it to her before.

My story obviously got her full attention.

Just what she wanted.

'My adjective right now is to keep her attention and her curiosity to make things easier, hehehe'

Lately I feel like I'm better at these things.

"So it's all pro today"

Cut the story a very good part on purpose in order to keep her curious the next time.

Hearing my words she gets visibly frustrated at me for cutting her off when her stuff was getting interesting.

"Even though I don't feel like showing off my skill today, I'll do it anyway so you can see that it's a skill that doesn't lose to hardening."

Immediately she turns her attention to me.

"But I warn you to hold your jaw or you won't be able to keep it from falling"

"Hmp, let's see what skill can give you so much confidence."
