Chapter 30: 30. It's Finally Happening!
(Hmm, powerstones?)
The three of them said simultaneously and then looked at each other.
"An interesting description," Yumi said while lifting some noodles with her chopsticks.
It seems she lost the battle of convincing Yukio to make something else.
Well, it's not like the food tasted bad to Yumi, but her ego probably took a hit.
"Well, he was an interesting person, I guess," Kakashi remarked.
"I don't think he was naive," Yukio said while looking at Miyuki.
"Well, I guess he was very clever to be considered a naive man, but still, I think some of his decisions were kind of naive," Miyuki supported her point.
"Well, it's due to the man having limited options while making such decisions under such conditions," Yukio thought about the night when they were not allowed to take part in the battle against Nine-Tails.
Well, at least be able to do something instead of being protected like kids.
He was getting a bit angry remembering that night, but he didn't show it outwardly.
He is very good at hiding his emotions, as stated previously.
"Well, I think he tried to make the best of any situation and was optimistic, so he might be mistaken for being naive under such circumstances," Kakashi commented.
He also doesn't like to think about what he has lost.
His sensei and his team.
He was indirectly responsible for Obito's death and was the one who killed Rin.
That always haunts him.
Even if Rin was the one who ran to him and got killed, Kakashi later came to know that the Three-Tails had been sealed inside her, so she wanted to die.
Kakashi unconsciously released killing intent, making the other two stop bickering and look at him.
Yumi jumped backwards, her chair tumbling down.
Kakashi heard the sound of the chair, which brought him back to the real world from his thoughts.
"Oh, my bad, I guess I was thinking a bit too much," Kakashi stopped his killing intent and rubbed his head, appearing sorry.
However, the other two could tell that it was an act.
Kakashi was also good at hiding his emotions but not as good as Yukio, so he was seen through by the other two like a paper.
"What's with you guys always releasing killing intent accidentally?" Yumi grumbled, lifting the chair and putting it back in its original place.
It always feels like her heart is going to jump out.
"It happens when you have seen too much, and sometimes you can't just stop your mind from thinking. It generally happens to young people," Yukio commented.
"Wait, will it happen to me too? Will I be leaking killing intent like water flowing from a broken tap like you guys?" Yumi asked in surprise.
"Uhh..." Kakashi and Miyuki were left speechless.
No, they were not speechless due to Yumi using such an analogy or indirectly telling them that they released killing intent left and right.
They were surprised at her obliviousness.
Yumi already unconsciously releases killing intent multiple times a day; in fact, it's very rare to see her without it.
It has become her trademark.
She releases it exactly like a wild beast hungry for food or something.
Yumi has been around mainly jounins, jounins like these three who have seen a lot despite their age.
Itachi has a good poker face, so she can't tell if she is doing that.
The only person she has come into contact with who gets affected by her killing intent is Sasuke, who always cries when he feels it.
Actually, he cries all the time when he sees her.
So, she really thinks that Sasuke is just an evil baby.
Why?
Because whenever he cries, Yumi is the one who gets bonked by Mikoto.
Yumi sees Mikoto as a violent woman, just like Miyuki. The fact that the former is the sensei of the latter just proves her facts more closely.
"Well, yes, that's why I told you to be aware of what type of emotions you feel at what times," Yukio was happy to let her obliviousness remain like that.
And then he turned it into a lecture about emotions.
Kakashi and Miyuki exchanged glances.
It seems Yukio really has learned to deal with Yumi.
Or so it seems.
"Anyway, the food was nice. I will take my leave; I need to train." With that, Kakashi left after finishing his food.
"I will go train too. You better teach me that jutsu after I am done with the chakra control exercise you gave me."
"Hai, hai."
With that, Yukio and Miyuki were left alone in the hall.
"So..." Yukio looked at Miyuki, who took her usual spot on the couch.
"Yeah?" Yukio, with one jutsu, cleaned the entire set of dishes.
Who said cleaning houses takes so long?
Heck, he even has some fuinjutsu seals ready to take care of this job.
He did this personally to train his chakra control with water.
He was done, so he also headed to take a spot on the couch.
"Well, it feels surreal that, you know, you are you, hehe, if that makes sense. Still, not much has changed," Miyuki tried to explain her feelings.
It was a bit surreal to feel like this.
She was expecting to be very happy or cry a bit or something.
But it kind of feels like it was obvious, and things didn't really seem to change.
Well, maybe how they will converse will differ slightly. Well, now it seems obvious in hindsight that Yukio was supposed to be him.
"Yeah, it feels kinda weird. Then again, it was a hypothesis for that reason."
Yukio and Miyuki already had a feeling that things were like this even before.
So, it was kind of a confirmation.
"Yeah," Miyuki said while looking at the ceiling.
Yukio's house really had a lot of seals for comfort and all.
She could already feel her body melting into the couch.
She could easily sleep like this.
Miyuki also has the ability to make her couch like this, but she couldn't be bothered as it would take a decent amount of time, and she was too lazy to do it.
She can always come to Yukio's house if she really wants to relax.
That has always been her case for procrastinating on increasing the comfort of her house.
"How about I move in here?" Miyuki suddenly asked.
"Sure," Yukio replied without looking up from a book he had gotten out of nowhere.
And as everyone expected, this book was written by our favourite perverted sage—the one and only Jiraiya.
However, it wasn't *Icha-Icha*.
It was a sealing journal that Jiraiya had written and given to Minato, who wrote his whole ideas while going through it and then gave it to Kushina, who did the same.
Also, the one who gave this book was Hiruzen, who had also written his insights.
The one who gave the book to Hiruzen was Tobirama, who wrote his own insights too.
This book was given to Tobirama by... yes, you guys can guess by now—it was Mito, who also wrote her insights.
Also, Orochimaru had this book for some time and wrote his two cents too.
So, this book could be considered a legendary artefact at this point due to the amount of information it contains.
Heck, all of the people have at least put one seal on the book for various different purposes.
No wonder the book is still fresh and looks new can only be opened by those who have access, can withstand an A-rank jutsu without a scratch, and possibly a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Nah, actually, this book will withstand a Tailed Beast Bomb.
This book is an honoured book.
Anyway, Miyuki and Yukio are expected to write their own insights, create a seal on the book, and pass it to their disciples.
Or give it back to the Hokage or Jiraiya.
Yukio is planning to give it to either Itachi or Yumi, or both if they get any interest in fuinjutsu.
But for that, he has to first complete his part.
Miyuki was already done—no wonder she has superior fuinjutsu skills compared to him.
"That was quick."
"Is there anything to think about with this decision?" Yukio said without looking up from his book.
"I guess I would have found it surprising if I got anything other than a quick answer," Miyuki said with a grin.
Yukio rolled his eyes.
"Sure, princess~ I am a butler, ready to serve," Yukio said in a different tone than usual, sounding like a butler.
"Hehe, I think young masters or nobles are supposed to have butlers. The term for a butler is different from a princess."
Miyuki rolled her eyes.
"You understand it, right? Words are used to convey our feelings; they served their purpose in this case," Yukio said as he turned the page of the book.
He could shift his focus rapidly, ensuring his attention didn't wane.
It's a technique he had devised in his previous life, but it's mentally taxing, so he didn't really like multitasking in the first place.
But, with chakra, his stamina was high, and so were the limits of his technique.
Miyuki took the book from Yukio and pushed him down on the couch.
"How about you convey your feelings to me in a more direct way?" Miyuki smirked and straddled him.
