Walk.

So with a little resilience, she decides to ask.

"What are your requests regarding this?"

"Well, my request is very simple. I want you to help me convince Satsuki to take a little walk around the village."

"Huh?" She immediately becomes astonished by what she just heard.

"Do you find it strange?"

Then she immediately frowns.

"Why would you want that?" She says with a suspicious tone.

"Well, it's very simple. I've actually seen her a couple of times, and I always see her training, so I've decided to take her out of her stressful routine so she can relax."

Then she becomes even more puzzled.

I don't know why, but in her heart, she suspects that there is something strange about everything he said.

"Well, stop staring at me like that. Are you coming or not?"

I say impatiently, in a position that indicates I want to leave quickly if not.

"Of course, I'm in," she quickly speaks.

She agrees, although there is a lot of suspicion in her heart about this generous behavior from this shameless person.

...

We are walking through the forest while casually talking.

"So, what do you think of the idea?"

..." She remains momentarily silent.

"So, I just say a few words while you continue talking?"

"That's the idea."

"Something as simple as that will work?"

"Yes, believe me," I say with a confidently smile.

"Even if she doesn't want to, we can nudge her a little to get her on the right track." A malicious smile spreads in my heart.

...

Elsewhere, Satsuki, who was training, feels a slight chill.

Then she looks around, confused.

"I felt uneasy for a moment," she reflects for a second, but in the next second, she focuses again, concluding that it was just her imagination.

...

"We've arrived," I smile at Satsuki, who has turned to look at us with a bewildered expression.

"What are you doing here?" She looks at me with a slightly furrowed brow.

Whenever Yuu appears out of nowhere like this, it means bad news for her.

"Oh, nothing, I just brought you an admirer," I say, pointing to Sakura, who is observing the scene with a hint of confusion.

"Hello," Sakura greets simply, as she notices Satsuki's penetrating gaze, especially the one directed at Yuu.

But it seems that Yuu is unaware of this and continues to smile calmly.

"I thought Yuu had developed some kind of friendly relationship with the older sister, but... now I realize that this shameless guy must have been harassing the older sister like he did with me." A fire of anger ignites in Sakura's heart, but before she can do or say anything, Yuu speaks.

"Well, don't look at me like that. Today, I have something special planned, and that is to take a walk around Konoha to get out of this stress caused by continuous training without rest."

When I utter those words, the scene falls into momentary silence.

"No, thanks," Satsuki responds without hesitation.

Then my expression freezes, but I quickly smile again.

"Well, I had already expected that, so it doesn't affect me at all."

"Wait a moment, you haven't heard me out—"

"I don't care. I'm not going anywhere." Then, Yuu suddenly appears next to Satsuki without warning.

"Just listen to me for a moment," Satsuki is slightly surprised, but quickly regains her composure.

Then, with her back to Sakura, she whispers softly.

"Fine, but don't do anything strange." She says the last part with a tone of warning.

"Okay..." I weakly respond to the situation.

I don't know why, but as time goes by, the girls have become more reserved. Maybe it's because of embarrassment or something else, but that's the fact.

Although they don't outright reject me, they are more cautious when there are many people around.

Why is that? I don't know (perhaps they feel more embarrassed because their bodies are visibly developing more).

They have long been accustomed to Yubeng's shameless actions, but they still find it unbearable when other people look at them with strange eyes.

"Well, let's go then."

Sakura, who was lost in thought, is surprised for a moment.

"Just like that?" (For her, it was just a couple of words she didn't hear clearly, so she didn't understand them) Satsuki's attitude took a 180-degree turn just because of that.

...

Sakura walks behind Satsuki, who in turn walks behind Yuu.

Sakura walks thoughtfully.

In the previous conversation, she wanted to speak on many occasions, but she was quickly obstructed, and even her words could have seemed out of context. Even when she wanted to support Satsuki's refusal, she was quickly obstructed because Yuu spoke faster.

It seems that these two are in a separate dimension from the rest, where Sakura cannot enter.

And it doesn't hurt to suspect in Sakura's heart about the possibly long relationship between Yuu and Satsuki.

Sakura: "It seems like they've known each other for a long time, and judging by the cooperative behavior of the older sister, it seems like they get along well." She can't help but say this since she has never seen such cooperative behavior with anyone.

She can't help but wonder, "How did that happen? What did I miss if I was always looking out for the older sister? What happened?"

These questions cross Sakura's mind without any convincing answers.

"Well, I think we've reached our first stop," Yuu's voice interrupts her thoughts.

"Hm?" Then she looks ahead and realizes that they are beside a waterfall.
