"In my opinion, Yuhi Kurenai is just the right girl to be a concubine," Nara Shikano said seriously.

Nara Shintaku couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Don't disbelieve it!" Nara Shikano insisted. "The Yuhi family has only one daughter, and their numbers are small. She will not hinder you in the future. You can raise her and keep her at home."

"Your only daughter is with you, so wouldn't Yuhi Kurenai be completely devoted to you?"

"Besides, this also sets a threshold for outsiders. The only daughter of an elite Jonin as a concubine means others who do not meet the requirements should go back on their own initiative."

Nara Shintaku couldn't listen any longer and turned away.

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished yet!" Nara Shikano chased after him.

...

"Seriously, isn't this girl Yuhi Kurenai quite pretty?"

"She's a beauty."

"There are too few beautiful female ninjas!"

...

"Don't have a psychological burden."

"The more wives and children you have, the better."

"We are all happy to see it happen."

...

"Yes, it is necessary—two locations for Nara and Yamanaka."

"If it weren't for their size, the Akimichi family would have to fight for position."

"However, they said they were willing to give up their family secrets and completely lose weight... if you like their girls."

...

It was not until they left the Nara clan that the conversation finally stopped.

...

...

In the next few days, no one knew what Nara Shikano said, but Yuhi Kurenai stayed in the Nara clan.

Every morning, she would come over to wake Nara Shintaku up.

They would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.

They were inseparable, like a follower, always clinging to Nara Shintaku.

When the clan members saw her, they all teased her.

"Shintaku, where did you kidnap a child bride from?"

"What a cute little girl; she will definitely charm this boy, Shintaku!"

"Isn't it too hasty to think about major life events at the age of six?"

"Young people are too curious about the adult world."

"That's right; you must not secretly study each other's body secrets!"

When Yuhi Kurenai heard these words, her face turned red as if it was on fire.

She lowered her head, too shy to speak.

Swish!

Nara Shintaku twitched the corners of his mouth and used the Shadow Secret Technique to seal the mouth of the talkative guy.

"Mm-mm-mm!"

But even with their mouths sealed, these guys continued to hum without giving up.

Nara Shintaku was convinced.

"Don't worry about them; they are all too full. I will let the clan leader take care of them!" Nara Shintaku gritted his teeth and said.

Yuhi Kurenai followed him, biting her lip.

She thought to herself that it didn't matter if she didn't have to take care of them.

She was just shy, not angry.

'It would be great if I could really charm Shintaku-kun,' Yuhi Kurenai thought secretly.

...

...

In the forest, Yuhi Kurenai walked alone with a vigilant look on her face.

She was going to take a practical test today, and her goal was to kill a wild boar that was destroying the medicinal field.

Hum... a humming sound came from the front.

Yuhi Kurenai looked closely and saw a three-meter-long wild boar in the middle of the medicinal field, gnawing on the herbs in pain.

With two fangs as sharp as crescents, it pushed against the ground, lifting a layer of soil as it picked out the roots of the herbs.

'That's it!'

Yuhi Kurenai's eyes fixed, locked onto the target, and carefully took out the kunai and steel wire.

She left quietly, setting a trap on the wild boar's way back, and then waited patiently.

Not long after, the well-fed wild boar slowly left the medicinal field and embarked on the familiar return road.

It didn't pay attention.

Suddenly, it stepped on a trap, and the sharp steel wire tightened instantly, wrapping around its legs.

Roar!

The big wild boar roared in pain. Whoosh!

A kunai shot out from above, landed on its snout, and pierced deeply into it.

The wild boar felt even more pain, and tears oozed from its eyes.

But it wasn't over yet.

The explosive tag tied to the tail end of the kunai was triggered, resulting in a strong explosion.

Bang!

The wild boar took all the shockwaves and high temperatures, its whole body shook, and it fell to the ground.

"Done!"

Yuhi Kurenai jumped out of her hiding place happily and ran to check her spoils.

In the dark, Nara Shintaku saw this and shook his head.

"Lack of experience..."

"I should throw a few kunai or use an explosive tag to test whether the wild boar is dead."

"Wild boars know how to play dead."

Sure enough, when Yuhi Kurenai ran in front of the wild boar...

Hum!!

The wild boar jumped up suddenly, its charred face full of anger, and lunged fiercely at Yuhi Kurenai with its fangs.

This sudden attack was completely beyond Yuhi Kurenai's expectations.

In her field of vision, the sharp fangs approached quickly.

Her mind went blank; she forgot to dodge and just stood there in a daze.

A sense of fear and despair enveloped her heart.

'Will I die?!'

Bang!

At this moment of despair, the wild boar suddenly flew backward like a cannonball, as if hit by a powerful force.

It flew dozens of meters in one breath and broke several large trees.

When it landed, a black shadow flashed over it.

Then, the wild boar's eyes became dull, and its head separated from its body, falling down with a gurgle.

It was instantly dead.

"Wow... so awesome!"

Yuhi Kurenai sat on the ground, her face full of surprise, looking at Nara Shintaku, who came out of the darkness with admiration.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Her heart was beating violently.

The feeling of relief for surviving the disaster reached its peak the first time she saw Nara Shintaku.

At that moment, Yuhi Kurenai felt a strong sense of security.

"?"

Nara Shintaku felt that the way this junior sister looked at him had changed.

It had become strange.

"Wild boars are very cunning and have strong vitality," Nara Shintaku continued his teaching. "You should use kunai or explosive tags. Wait until all the wild boars are dead before approaching."

"Remember this lesson!"

"In the future, you must do this when facing any enemy!"

Hearing this, Yuhi Kurenai nodded vigorously.

So amazing!

As expected of Shintaku-kun!

He knows so many things!

Yuhi Kurenai's eyes completely turned into starry eyes.

"Let's leave this wild boar to the owner of the medicinal field; he will take care of it." Nara Shintaku turned around and waved to Yuhi Kurenai. "Today's actual combat ends here; let's go back."
