Ch8-A day off
"Wake up, sleepyhead!"
"Just a few more hours..." mumbled Nozomi while still being half-asleep.
Having enough of her antics, Yui pulled out the previously prepared bucket of water, splashing it in Nozomi's face.
Already used to this, the now barely awake Nozomi slowly pulled herself up, as Yui dragged her out of the room.
"Breakfast is ready, but don't even dream of getting any before taking a shower."
At the mention of food, Nozomi's mind instantly cleared up. Eating was one of the few things she enjoyed doing. She loved tasting different kinds of food but would grow tired of having the same one rather quickly.
Dragging her tired body to the bathroom, she took a shower before sitting down at the table where Yui had already prepared breakfast.
If Nozomi was being honest, she had no idea how Yui could move like this today. After all, even she, a Kage-level shinobi, had been tired out after all that night's activity.
Having finished breakfast, Yui got up and started cleaning the dishes. Having done her duty, she got up and joined Nozomi on the sofa.
Today was one of Nozomi's few days off and Yui had asked her to go shopping together.
Making herself comfortable between Nozomi's breasts, Yui just laid there, enjoying the warmth while Nozomi debated how to change her training schedule for today.
If Yui would be able to hear her thoughts, she would have faceplanted herself because the last time this happened, Nozomi had trained for 12 hours and done something with her for another 5 before finally going to sleep. Well just to wake up early and start training again. Truly a workaholic.
***
As they were walking through the street of the nearby village, Yui forced Nozomi to enter every shop there was with her.
Be it food stalls, souvenir shops, and especially cloth shops. She didn't know why but Yui loved dressing her up. Be it in a gothic, casual, or combat style, she would try anything and buy it for Nozomi with the money she gathered from the few odd jobs she did while Nozomi was on longer missions.
"Take this, and this, and this, and that. Now go change."
Nozomi let out a sight, seeing the pile of clothes Yui had thrown onto her arms. Cursing Yui under her breath, Nozomi turned around and made her way to the changing room.
"Why a dress? It's unpractical to fight or work in."
"But it's beautiful."
Nozomi wasn't very keen on trying all those clothes on and thought it was just impractical to do so. Her only reason to wear clothes was to not attract unnecessary attention. If she didn't need to do so, she would just go outside in her underwear or naked. This would at least distract her enemies, making it easier to kill them.
As she continued trying on the clothes, her thought drifted to her last mission:
*** Flashback-no-Jutsu ***
As she lay on the grass, she glanced at the guy next to her and wondered whether to question his sanity or just accept that he was strange.
"Minato, how is it to be married?"
Minato, surprised by the sudden question of his friend, decided to truthfully answer. "Overall I think it's great. Although it is stressful sometimes, I love my wife and nothing can change that."
Analyzing his words, Nozomi was once again reminded of how much he doted on his wife even though he sounded like a devil in 25% of his stories.
"How about coming over to my village when this war is over? Take a break and meet my wife. I'm sure you would get along."
"I can't." Although she wanted to, she couldn't and she knew it.
Minato was puzzled, there would be no missions for shinobi after the war, normally for a month. Which meant that something else was holding her back. "Why not?"
"Minato, you have to realize: You and I are different. You are a human with friends, a wife, and maybe children soon too." Seeing Minato blush slightly she continued, "I however am nothing but a weapon, a tool, a creation made to obey my creators."
"That's wrong! How can those people do something so inhumane? We are all humans!" Minato's face was red out of anger as he continued to rant. However, he stopped as he felt a kunai coming in his direction.
"Do not insult my creators. They have made and trained me, even if you are my friend I will not allow you to disrespect them. And you are wrong, I belong to my creators, to the village, to the Tsuchikage. I am like a kunai that can move by itself, but only change directions at the will of its owner."
Seeing the blatant worship, Minato figured that it was impossible to change her over such a short time. As such his plan to free her had begun, which would most likely continue even after the war. He just hoped he would have an opportunity to do so.
*** Flashback-no-Jutsu switch ***
"Hey, what's your real name Namaki?"
"My name? I think 67, but most just call me Kurai."
"So, Kurai? Do you like your name?"
"Why wouldn't I? After all, I got the honor of even receiving one."
"How about I give you a different one?"
"You want to? Why? I mean sure, go ahead."
"How about Nozomi? It means hope."
"Why hope? What even is it?"
"Hope for you to finally understand what I'm talking about instead of me having to explain everything to you."
*** Flashback-no-Jutsu end ***
She was confused to see the nearby passersby gawking at her with lustful, disapproving, and shocked expressions.
As she turned to her side she would have sworn, that Yui's nose was bleeding while her gaze was fixed on her crotch.
Looking into the mirror, she finally realized what it was. She was currently only wearing rather see-through underwear, which barely covered her private parts.
Noting that they were staring at her because she stood in the middle of the shop like that, Agrona turned around and decided to change. There was no need to draw such attention at the moment.
Sometimes Yui was nothing but a mess of confusion for Nozomi. Yui had picked some of the clothes she had previously worn while not buying the others that were currently in trend.
Arriving at home, Yui ushered her to change into a certain outfit. Blushing, Yui turned away as Nozomi started to change right in front of her.
The clothes Yui had prepared for her, consisted of see-through underwear, a rather slim fishnet shirt, a very short skirt, and thigh highs. However, for some reason, there were also a fake-cat tail and ears.
While she was confused about why she should wear this, she still did as Yui wished.
As Yui was staring at her chest, Nozomi noticed her body acting up, seeing Yui, only covered by some thin lingerie.
This was however something she was already used to and she would usually just go out and find someone to calm her body down or ask Yui if she was alright with helping her out.
The teachers in her village had told her that this was something normal, which started acting up in someone's teenage years. Naturally, she had also been placed on duty to relieve others of their urge, as her seduction teacher had told her she needed something called, "hand-on experience."
After having given her teacher a show of her progress, she greatly complimented how fast she was learning and complimented how good it felt.

As both of them lay tiredly next to each other, Yui suddenly asked Nozomi, "Can you sing a song for me?"
Since she was trained in almost everything, Nozomi had also had singing lessons. Seeing no reason to refuse, she searched through her memories, deciding on a relaxing song.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my savior
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my savior
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my savior
Seeing Yui finally falling to sleep, she quietly got up to finish her training routine while continuing to sing the part to the end.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my savior

Quick authors note:
No, the character isn't lesbian, more like Bi. Though unfortunately for some of you, I have no interest in writing romance since it would just suck anyway. Though she might get into a relationship later, just that that person will most likely just proclaim that they are now together.
Some might have noticed, that this chapter is 100% for character development and is unimportant for the story, that is because I wrote this chapter as a 'filler' if you may call it because I noticed that something was missing for the I think 19th chapter to have the effect I want. The next filler will be chapter 10 and I'm gonna be honest, you don't have to read it, but it's free anyway, just take the ten minutes if you can.
