Chapter 89: Forbidden Desires (R18?)
Blissfully unaware of the dark designs concealed within the heart of one among their own, Team 8 set off from Konoha on their mission.
When the genin team ventured further away, Kurenai emerged from the shadows of the building, a gentle smile gracing her lips, "He has already come to this point... finding me without even leaving any overt cues."
To be found by a Byakugan or sniffed out by dog or bugs wouldn't be too much of a surprise, but... she didn't even detect his tricks.
Though it would be unsettling for other ninjas, Kurenai only felt proud of her student, proud of how far he had come.
Yet, there was also a hint of disappointment within her own heart, realizing that her own strength hadn't grown as much as she had hoped.
"Sslowly surpassed by my own student, this feeling…" A bittersweet sensation engulfs her, but Kurenai soon dismissed it.
Chasing forward a couple of steps, Kurenai rushed up into the canopies of the forest, stealthily pursuing her team, taking on the role of an unseen guardian.
Although she was confident in their abilities by now, her duty was to be an unseen insurance, a guiding force in the shadows in case of sudden changes.
And if they were ready, it will be the last time she serves as a safety net for them.
After all, as a jonin, she also has critical and important missions, ones too perilous to bring a team of genin along.
Plus, she had her own life to live…
If her time frees up, she would have extra time for dates. Perhaps they could even try for a child?
Of course, she was responsible enough to not skimp on her duties just to cater to a man.
But soon, she may be granted her anticipated freedom. It made her excited just imagining the possibilities.
Alas, will it be as she imagined?
Unknown to the other three members of Team Kurenai, all their actions and facial expressions were monitored by their mysterious team member, one they still hadn't fully grasped the depths of.
In the depths of his base, while he honed his raiding skills, Shino's gaze locked onto the captivating live footage of Kurenai, carefully studying every contour of her alluring, matured form while she flickered from screen to screen.
Shino's eyes never left Kurenai's alluring figure, his eyes concealing a hidden fascination and forbidden desire.
This was his sensei, one of the top beauties in the ninja echelons.
With his bugs always scouting Konoha, it was difficult to not capture the steamy scenes in all aspects of her life, from bathing to her time with Asuma.
Those scenes had long ignited a primal fire within him.
He had resisted the urge before, but now, someone had let him taste the heavenly dew, and it was hard to not want more, especially considering the side benefits.
Thus, Shino fueled his movements with a newfound intensity and determination, hinting at the hidden motivation driving his relentless pursuit of mastery.
"Ha… Ha… Is Shino-sama interested in her?" Karina's seductive voice reverberated through the room, its intoxicating melody swirling with an irresistible allure, casting a mesmerizing spell that lured and tempted him. "Ha… How about Karina helps Shino-sama start a student-teacher relationship?"
Shino's gaze shifted away from the captivating holographic display, locking onto his lover with a penetrating intensity.
Leaning in closer, he breathed a whispered message into her ears, "Jealous?"
"Ha… Ha… No, of course not. Karina had already said, she will help Shino-sama acquire all he desires, whether by hook or crook. Ha- Ha-"
Intertwined with her strange, evil laughter, Karina's dark thoughts were conveyed, hinting at the sinister intentions within her depths.
Though her thoughts were shrouded in darkness, her emotions were still transparent to him, almost as clear as day under his eyes. So, Shino playfully nibbled on her ear and cooed, "You already changed the way you are calling me, still saying you aren't jealous..."
Karina's face subtly turned away, a veil of lust concealing the flicker of jealousy within her eyes. "Ha... Ha… Karina isn't."
Oh, how cute. She said no, but the flames of jealousy had long ignited within her and it was spreading like a wildfire.
Feeling the heat engulf him, Shino knew he had to respond.
So, Shino took the initiative, daringly driving the firetruck with increasing speed, eager to reach the final destination and unleash the hose's torrential downpour that would quell the burning inferno...
Intriguingly perceptive, Karina captured the subtle shift in the atmosphere, knowing exactly what her man wanted.
Her eyes swiveled to meet Shino's intense gaze, "Ha- Ha- S-Shino-sam-"
Her ambiguous laugh was swiftly silenced by Shino, their tongues entwining in a fateful dance.
Like the mechanism of a cunning trap set into motion, the very walls of the tomb commenced a dangerous, dangerous contraction, ready to doom the audacious intruder.
Soon, the firetruck arrived in the capital city, ready to put out the fire.
