Chapter 24 The Girl Under the Tree, the Feeling of Being Pampered

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Is Liuyun at home?"

When Kushina arrived at Liuyun's house, she found that the door was locked. She shouted twice at the door but no one came out to respond.

"Where does this guy go when he doesn't have to go to school..."

Kushina muttered, looking a little lost.

She stood at the door, hesitating, wanting to leave, but not wanting to leave, thinking that the other party might be back soon...

The sun was extremely hot at this time, the ground temperature was very high, and the air was filled with suffocating heat. Kushina shielded her eyes with her hands, and unable to bear the heat, she ran to a nearby small tree to avoid the sun.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. After spending most of the afternoon, Liuyun finally mastered the skill of treading water. He swam upstream against the current, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Every improvement in his strength makes him happy.

Bang!Bang!

The two shadow clones disappeared at the same time, and a large amount of cultivation experience also poured into Liuyun's mind.

Pfft!

This was a great mental shock. Liuyun's rhythm of treading water was disrupted without him noticing, and he fell into the water again.

"It seems that I still need to practice more, and strive to reach the level of not getting wet at all as soon as possible..."

After climbing ashore, Liuyun set a new goal for himself.

If the 'water-walking' skill is practiced to the extreme, even A-level ninjutsu like the 'Great Waterfall Technique' will be immune. Just like when Pain beat the runaway Naruto, the gushing groundwater was comparable to water-style ninjutsu, but Tendo Pain could walk on the waves as if he were walking on flat ground.

This requires extremely advanced chakra control ability, and Liuyun is still far from it now.

After taking off his clothes and wringing out the water, Liuyun walked slowly towards home.

When he arrived near his home, a familiar figure under a small tree surprised him for a moment.

Liuyun quickly ran to the other party, and his arrival also attracted Kushina's attention.

"Are you here to see me? How long have you been waiting?"

"I...I just got here..." Kushina said softly with a blushing face.

Liuyun didn't hear clearly what she said, he took her little hand and rushed home.

It was such a hot day and the little girl didn't know how long she had been standing under the tree. Her face was flushed red and her clothes were soaked with sweat. Liuyun was a little worried that she would get sick from heatstroke.

After opening the door, Liuyun hurriedly led her to the shaded area at the back of the house. The air here was well ventilated and it was much cooler than indoors. In the past, Liuyun would occasionally hide here to read comics and take naps.

"Please sit down first..."

After pushing Kushina to sit on the bench, Liuyun hurried back home and got out an iced drink.

"Here, drink something to cool off..."

As Liuyun spoke, he took out a fan and fanned her vigorously.

Seeing someone being so attentive, Kushina's eyes narrowed with a smile. She took the iced orange juice and took a few big gulps. The cool, sour and sweet taste made her feel comfortable all over. She felt extremely happy both physically and mentally.

It was worth it that she waited so long. After taking a sip of the cold drink, all the heat and resentment disappeared...

"You said you were going to come see me today, but you didn't tell me yesterday... It's so hot, what are you standing outside waiting for?"

"If it doesn't work, you can also jump over the wall to get in and hide from the sun... You are so stupid..."

The flowing clouds were fanning the wind and 'starting the fire' at the same time.

"Who are you calling stupid? Do you believe I will beat you up?" Kushina clenched her fists and threatened with a cold face.

"..."

Seeing that Liuyun didn't dare to say anything, she put down her fist and glared at him:

"You said I was new here. And how can I just jump over the wall and enter someone's house the first time I go there? Am I a thief?"

"Forehead……"

Liuyun thought what he said made sense and couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh awkwardly.

"idiot!"

Kushina couldn't help but curse him, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"..."

The two of them lowered their heads in silence for a while. Seeing that he was soaked like a drowned rat, Kushina couldn't help but ask:

"Did you fall into the water? Why are you all wet..."

"Well, I accidentally slipped and fell into the water!" Liuyun explained with a smile.

"Hahahaha... I told you you're a big idiot! You can even accidentally fall into the water while walking, and you dare to say that others are stupid..." Kushina couldn't stop laughing.

"..."

After she had laughed enough, Liuyun finally spoke:

"Wait for me, I'm going to take a shower and change into dry clothes..."

"Yeah, go ahead..." Kushina's pretty face blushed and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Soon, Liuyun washed off the muddy smell on his body with soap, and then dried his long hair with a towel.

After finishing all this, he sat directly next to Kushina. The two of them sitting close to each other on the same bench showed their intimacy.

Smelling the scent of soap on Liuyun's body, Kushina felt relaxed and happy. This scent was indescribably good...

She subconsciously lowered her head and her whole face turned red.

Noticing her abnormal condition, Liuyun couldn't help but show some worry on his face.

"Why is your face red again? Could it be that you really have a heat stroke?"

As Liuyun spoke, he reached out and touched her head.

"It's very hot..."

Feeling a cool hand on her forehead, Kushina quickly turned her head to the other side.

"I...I don't have a heat stroke...please don't...move me..."

Kushina's voice became quieter and quieter, but there was no response from Liuyun.

Kushina turned her head and saw that the other person had disappeared and had already stood up and entered the house...

"!!!"

Kushina was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of disappointment.

And as time went on, this feeling of loss became stronger and stronger, and she wanted to just get up and leave.

"Damn Liuyun, didn't you even tell me before entering the house..." Kushina muttered, her cheeks puffed up with anger.

"Here, wash your face and cool down..."

Liuyun suddenly appeared and handed a white wet towel to her.

He went into the room to find a towel and filled a basin with cold water to wash Kushina's face...

"Don't worry, the towel is new and no one has used it before."

Looking at Kushina who was in a daze, Liuyun couldn't help but find it funny.

"What are you standing there for? Do you need me to wipe it for you?"

"!!!"

"No... no need... I'll wipe it myself..."

After realizing what was happening, Kushina hurriedly waved her hands, then took a cool towel and wiped her face roughly a few times.

"..."

Liuyun took the towel, rubbed it a few times with cold water with ice cubes, and then handed it back to her.

"Wipe it clean, and then apply it again to cool it down..."

"Ah...ok...ok..."

With the cold towel against her hot face, Kushina felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.

Looking at this caring boy who looked so serious and repeatedly scrubbed her towel, Kushina's heart trembled, and a sense of happiness of being loved arose spontaneously.

"Is this what it feels like to be valued? He is really... so gentle!"
