Chapter 86: With Mei Away, Oborotsuki Has His Hands Full Again!
Before heading out in the morning, Oborotsuki deliberately gathered Kushina, Mayumi, Konan, and Yūhi Kurenai for a family meeting.
He explained to the other three beauties the decision he had discussed with Red the previous night.
"I'm going to arrange some light work for all of you in the village—something to keep life interesting. You'll go to and from work every day, which will also give you some light exercise."
"That way, it's good for your health and good for the babies too."
Oborotsuki looked toward Kushina and Mayumi.
Sure enough, both immediately voiced concerns:
"But Oborotsuki, if I go to work, who will take care of little Naruto?"
"That's right. If I leave little Karin with someone else, I won't feel at ease."
Mayumi gently stroked her newborn daughter as she spoke.
Such a tiny baby—how could she bear to leave her in someone else's care for an entire day?
Even if the village arranged a nanny, she still wouldn't feel comfortable.
"Oborotsuki, the Uzumaki bloodline has been targeted by enemies for a long time."
"If anything happens to little Karin, what then?"
Mayumi already had psychological scars from past events.
Hearing this concern, she immediately voiced it.
Oborotsuki had already anticipated this, so he smiled gently:
"Don't worry—I've already thought of all this."
"I'll arrange a private office for all of you. You can bring the babies with you to work."
"The paperwork won't be tiring, and the office environment will be quiet—it won't disturb the babies. If you need to rest at any time, you can just come home."
Oborotsuki's words immediately brought delighted surprise to Kushina, Mayumi, Konan, and Red.
The four beauties exchanged glances, confirming with each other, then turned to Oborotsuki in unison:
"In that case… we accept your proposal, Oborotsuki."
Kushina, as the unofficial big sister among them due to her strength, spoke for the group.
The other three immediately nodded in agreement.
"Great. I'll make the arrangements now. Someone will come pick you up later."
With a relieved sigh, Oborotsuki turned and headed out.
Now all four of them had something to do and topics to talk about.
They no longer had to stay cooped up at home overthinking everything.
…
After spending the entire morning making arrangements for Kushina, Konan, and the others, Oborotsuki returned to the Mizukage's office.
To his surprise, he found that Mei wasn't there.
The one currently handling the paperwork in her place was Risa.
"Lord Oborotsuki…"
Seeing him enter, Risa immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Where's Mei?"
Oborotsuki asked curiously.
"Lady Mei had something to attend to. She said she might not be back until this afternoon."
"Oh—and she asked me to pass this on to you: if you came to work, she wants you to handle this matter…"
Risa handed over a stack of intelligence documents.
Oborotsuki gave it a quick glance, accepted it without reading, and casually placed the file on the corner of the desk.
With a playful smile on his face, he walked around the desk toward Risa.
Seeing Oborotsuki approaching, Risa's heart immediately raced. She nervously stepped aside:
"Lord Oborotsuki, you…"
"Don't be nervous."
Oborotsuki smiled and placed both hands on Risa's shoulders.
"Mei isn't here, and you've been handling so much work alone. It must be exhausting."
"You've been busy all morning—take a break."
He gently massaged her shoulders while smiling and leading her toward the sofa area.
Risa was overwhelmed with gratitude. Though nervous and flustered, she didn't dare refuse.
She let Oborotsuki guide her to the sofa. Then, watching him turn to pour water for her, she anxiously stood up again:
"Lord Oborotsuki…"
"Something like this should be my job…"
She hurriedly stepped forward, trying to take over pouring the water.
But at that exact moment, Oborotsuki turned around with a full cup of water.
The two collided. Water splashed all over both of them.
Oborotsuki: "…"
Risa: "…I-I'm sorry, Lord Oborotsuki! I didn't mean to…"
"It's fine. Sit down and rest. I'll handle it."
Oborotsuki said as he casually removed his upper garment, revealing his lean, powerfully muscled physique.
He turned, grabbed a mop, and quickly cleaned up the water on the floor.
When he looked up again, he saw Risa standing frozen in place, face burning red, staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
Oborotsuki asked curiously.
Then, following Risa's gaze downward, he immediately understood and gave a knowing chuckle.
"Ah… my little brother's being naughty again this morning."
"Can't be helped. You know how it is with young men, right?"
Oborotsuki said casually, then turned back to Risa—who was now staring seriously at the floor, face completely flushed.
"You should know… I've never seen anything like this…"
She muttered, then shyly lowered her head again, not daring to look at him.
Oborotsuki returned the mop to its place.
He felt a certain part of him swaying with each step, almost like being on a boat rocking in rough waves.
"Your clothes are all wet too. Do you have a change here? Better change, or you'll catch a cold."
Saying this, he pulled out a sealing scroll and used the Summoning Technique to bring out a clean set of clothes.
This was a basic ninja skill.
After all, long-term missions sometimes required days without proper rest or supplies.
Shinobi weren't immortals—they might endure sleepless nights, but they couldn't go without eating, drinking, bathing, or changing clothes.
Seeing Oborotsuki's actions, Risa lowered her head again.
"No spares? That's troublesome."
"In that case, go back and change. I'll handle things here."
Oborotsuki said casually, waving his hand.
But Risa remained standing in place, face burning red, saying nothing and refusing to leave.
"What's wrong?"
Oborotsuki asked strangely, turning back to her.
Then, noticing the state of Risa's clothes, he immediately understood.
It was summer—the clothes she wore were light and breezy.
Now soaked, they clung tightly to her body in a way that was impossible to ignore.
Oborotsuki gave a helpless chuckle, shook his head, and walked over with one of his own clean shirts.
"In that case, wear this outer shirt of mine for now. It might be too big, but it's better than staying in wet clothes."
As he spoke, he unfolded his large shirt and draped it over Risa's shoulders.
But at that moment, Risa suddenly reached out and gently grasped his hot, throbbing length.
Oborotsuki: "…You?"
"Lord Oborotsuki… you've been working so hard for Kirigakure these days. From now on… leave this to me."
Risa's ears were still bright red and burning, but she looked at Oborotsuki with serious eyes and a shy smile.
