Chapter 483: Yugao
Haruno Sakura thought that after returning home, she could have a good sleep...
She was wrong.
She returned home, shouted "I'm back!" with a drawn-out tone, walked straight into the room, and plunged headfirst onto the bed, just like an internet-addicted teenager who had just returned from an internet cafe after cultivating to the point of ascension.
Her mother, Mebuki Haruno, couldn't stand her daughter's salted fish appearance at all.
"Sakura, why are you sleeping lazily in broad daylight!"
"Mom, I'm on vacation today!" Haruno Sakura lay on the bed, burying her head in the pillow, saying weakly.
"Vacation! On vacation, you can be presumptuous, right? On vacation, you can be lazy, right?" Sakura's mother raised her eyebrows and scolded, "What girl lies on the bed to sleep dirty like you? Been out for so many days, didn't bathe or change clothes outside, and lay on the bed as soon as you came back! Clothes not changed! Bath not taken! Still want me to wash the bedsheets for you if they get dirty! Looking so sloppy, what is this!"
Haruno Sakura's face twitched, feeling her head about to explode.
"I'm very clean! I've said it hundreds of times, even when doing missions outside, I can use Water Release to clean my body and clothes..." She rolled her eyes and explained helplessly.
As a Water Release super expert, washing and drying immediately was a basic operation; no matter how fierce the battle was, maintaining the body clean and dry afterward with Water Release was a piece of cake.
"Can that be the same? Get up quickly, you lazy snake!" Mebuki Haruno said, walking into her daughter's room and looking out the window, "Oh my, it's so cloudy, windy! It's going to rain! Come help me bring in the clothes!"
"Are you a devil!"
"Get up quickly!" Mebuki ignored her daughter's protest, slapped her daughter's butt a few times, and urged.
As a result, after collecting the clothes, there were various trivial matters: mopping the floor, cleaning, washing dishes and disinfecting, taking a bath, etc., saying it was to train her housekeeping skills, "Otherwise, when you grow up, you won't even be able to wash a bowl! Be laughed at by others!"
Haruno Sakura really wanted to say, whoever dares to laugh at your daughter, I'll personally go and beat him up!
Busy until the afternoon, Sakura was finally allowed to rest.
At this time, she had absolutely no intention of lying in bed for a nap.
"Housewives are too terrifying. Clearly nothing happened, but half the afternoon was ground away unknowingly. Busy all the time, yet did nothing." Haruno Sakura quickly found an excuse to leave the house, muttering.
Her dad wasn't at home. For her to bear Mebuki's nagging alone, the pressure was really too great.
"Women should still have their own careers. Just being a housewife, life is too plain and boring." The girl shrugged and muttered to herself; only when she said this, she completely forgot that she was also a woman now.
But indeed, Haruno Sakura had absolutely no possibility of becoming a housewife—she hadn't even thought about it.
Outside, the sky was gloomy, and it was raining heavily.
But this posed no trouble for Haruno Sakura at all.
She walked leisurely in the rain. Raindrops fell on the girl, but showed no sign of wetting her clothes at all, as if Haruno Sakura had merged into the rain.
This extremely precise operation was even just Haruno Sakura's subconscious operation; the girl's eyes flowed, standing on the street corner, pondering where she could go at this time.
"Hinata?"
Obviously unrealistic, she should still be in Anbu at this time.
Ino, Haku, and the three children of Team Haruno Sakura were also working.
Find Sasuke?
—Only a couple in passionate love would do such a thing like sticking together again impatiently just two hours after separating, right.
Others of the same year, Shikamaru and them? Relationship not close enough to that extent, sudden visit feels a bit weird.
Her steps paused, the corner of her mouth curved slightly, suddenly having an idea.
A moment later.
Hayate Residence.
Yugao Uzuki—no, should be called Yugao Hayate now—who hadn't appeared for many chapters, opened the door and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Pink hair, slender and slim girl, standing gracefully outside the door, with a bright smile on her face.
"Oh, rare guest!" The young woman said pleasantly surprised.
"Please come in!" She stepped aside and welcomed the girl into her home with a smile.
"Long time no see, Yugao-nee!"
Saying long time no see, actually every few weeks, Haruno Sakura would come over to see her former teammate in Anbu—this kind of social interaction didn't have much to say, so in this book, Yugao disappeared for a long time.
Shino was the same; he had more chances to meet Haruno Sakura in Anbu, but now the girl almost no longer performed missions in Anbu squads, so most of the time the two just greeted each other when meeting, occasionally eating together at Anbu gatherings, nothing worth writing happened, so he also disappeared for quite a long time.
—And it seemed he would continue to be invisible.
"Yugao-nee seems a bit thinner again." Walking into the living room, Haruno Sakura looked at Yugao's slender back and said.
Her deepest impression of Yugao was of course the beauty with waist-length hair she first saw in the Anbu bathroom. Sexy, mature, combining heroism and beauty, a fatal boy killer.
However, these all changed after Yugao changed her surname to Gekko. After marriage—especially around giving birth, Yugao gained almost forty or fifty pounds. Her figure changed from exquisite curves to a greasy aunt with a double chin, simply unbearable to look at. However, this is the real and cruel world. Women who are about to become mothers generally eat better and exercise less during pregnancy, so gaining weight is really a matter of minutes.
Especially for ninja, a profession accustomed to high intake and high consumption, once entering the period of sitting quietly to nurture the fetus, the body shape is hard to maintain.
Those who can maintain their figure during pregnancy are probably only women like Tsunade who master profound medical ninjutsu to convert chakra, fat, and protein into each other.
"Started increasing training volume recently." Yugao laughed, "The fat on the body has been reduced."
The young woman swayed her waist, walking in front. Except for the girly three thousand strands of green silk turning into capable and neat short hair, she completely overlapped with Sakura's initial impression of her.
Haruno Sakura followed Yugao to sit on the plush mat in the middle of the living room. Yugao's daughter was close to one year old, crawling around the hall. Seeing her, she wasn't afraid of strangers, babbling and crawling over with a smile.
Haruno Sakura teased the little baby while smiling: "How much skill has recovered?"
"Half, I guess..." Yugao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, "After all, neglected for almost a year, a bit hard to find the feeling of the peak period. Swordsmanship relies heavily on feeling."
She thought for a while and added: "But very strange, maybe because of changing to a young heart, chakra recovered to the peak level very quickly, even surpassed... stamina seems to have become longer too."
Yugao said, glancing at Haruno Sakura thoughtfully.
The heart was prepared by Sakura for her. Could there be... something about it?
