The blond-haired Hokage, starting from before Hinata's wedding.

Ino glanced at the stairwell, then tiptoed and kissed Qiu Xiaoming on the cheek with her red lips. She then pushed him away and said, "Alright, we've kissed, let's go."

"Ino-nee, I want..."

"Listen to me! Come again tomorrow, okay?" Ino interrupted Qiu Xiaoming and urged him.

"Alright, I'll be going then." Although he was still very unwilling, he didn't want to put Ino in a difficult position, so he finally compromised.

After seeing Qiu Xiaoming off, Ino sat in the living room, her face flushed and her heart racing.

She gently lay down on the sofa, her little hand reaching towards the Water Curtain Cave.

"Xiaoming..." Ino whispered, then closed her eyes.

After leaving Ino's house, Qiu Xiaoming did not go back immediately, but instead prepared to go to Temari's house.

Although Kushina is waiting for him at home, Yoshino can also be eaten directly if nothing unexpected happens.

[Ding! Intimate Paradise Quest: Interact with Kurenai Yuhi. Quest time limit: one hour. Reward: 100 Affection Points upon completion.]

Just as Qiu Xiaoming was heading to Temari's house, the "Icha Icha Paradise" quest suddenly rang, startling Qiu Xiaoming.

Since the last time he was given the task of kissing Hinata in the closet, the "Icha Icha Paradise" app has not played again.

These past few days, he's been so engrossed in Kushina's gentle embrace that he's forgotten about the system.

Qiu Xiaoming looked at his system and realized that he had an extra ten-pull at some point.

Qiu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment before realizing that this must be the reward he received when he ate Kushina last time.

Perhaps because Kushina's voice was too loud at the time, and he was completely absorbed in it, he didn't hear it at all.

He checked the system notifications and, sure enough, found that it was a reward for defeating Kushina.

"Raffle!" Since there was a raffle, he naturally didn't hesitate and used it directly.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a consumable item—a soldier's ration pill!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn ten Kunai weapons!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn ten shuriken!]

"..."

This lottery draw, just like the ten-pull when I got Hinata last time, only yielded some useless items.

This time was even worse than the last; they didn't even get a single Dragon Ball or Senzu Bean.

"A Qi-Nourishing Powder would be fine too!" Qiu Xiaoming muttered in dissatisfaction.

Qiu Xiaoming felt that the Qi-Nourishing Powder he received last time was quite good, as it slightly boosted his chakra.

Qiu Xiaoming could sense that if he used the Qi Nourishing Powder a few more times, his strength could be promoted from Chunin to Special Jonin.

"Is it because I won't get good items in a ten-pull? Or is it because the free ten-pull won't give me good items, or do I need to get good items when I'm in danger?" Qiu Xiaoming frowned and pondered.

He complained when he drew a one-time skill before, wondering why he didn't draw a skill directly.

When he drew the Kyoka Suigetsu Zanpakuto, he complained about why he didn't get a one-time skill.

Now, his demands are getting lower and lower. He'd be happy with some Qi-nourishing powder, as long as it's not all shuriken and kunai.

"Forget it, let's go complete the task first. I need to collect two thousand passion points to upgrade the lottery machine and see if I can get something good." Qiu Xiaoming shook his head, thinking that he should complete the task that Intimacy Paradise had just given him first.

"Yuhi Kurenai? Where could she be at this hour?" Qiu Xiaoming looked around, searching for Yuhi Kurenai's figure.

She had very little contact with Kurenai, or rather, no contact at all. After all, both Kushina and Naruto were a generation younger than Kurenai. At most, she would introduce them to her when they met in the past.

Chapter 64 The Kurenai Family

Qiu Xiaoming walked around the street but couldn't find Xi Ri Hong anywhere.

How is he supposed to find Kurenai now?

"Xiao Ming!" At that moment, a voice came from behind Qiu Xiao Ming.

Qiu Xiaoming turned around and saw Temari walking towards him with something in her hand.

"Temari-neechan!" Qiu Xiaoming called out and quickly went to greet her, taking the things from Temari's hands and saying, "Temari-neechan, let me help you with these."

"It's alright, it's not heavy," Temari said, waving her hand.

"It's alright, let me have it." Qiu Xiaoming said, taking the things Temari was carrying.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Seeing that Qiu Xiaoming insisted, Temari agreed.

"By the way, who are you looking for? I've noticed you've been looking around." Temari had been watching Qiu Xiaoming for a while, hesitating whether to call him or not.

"It's nothing. Didn't Naruto tell us to look around for strangers? I'm just looking around," Qiu Xiaoming said, making up a story.

"Don't worry, our Konoha Village is very well defended. It won't be easy for outsiders to get in," Temari said, reassuring him.

"By the way, what have you been busy with these past few days? Why haven't you come over to our place for a meal?" Temari suddenly asked.

"My godmother has been keeping me locked up at home these past few days and won't let me out!" Qiu Xiaoming said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed, realizing that Kushina had once again taken the blame.

"I see!" Temari nodded gently, biting her red lips, wanting to say something more, but didn't.

"Temari-neechan, where are you going? I see you bought so many things, you must be visiting someone, right?" Zhou Qitian asked, looking at the things in his hands.

"I'm going to visit Kurenai-sensei (at this point she should be called Sarutobi Kurenai, but that doesn't sound good, so I'll just call her Kurenai Yuhi). Shikamaru might not have much time right now, so he asked me to go and check on her for him," Temari explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see!" Qiu Xiaoming's eyes lit up. He was just wondering how to find Kurenai Yuhi, and Temari had led the way for him.

The two walked towards Kurenai's house. Along the way, Temari looked like she wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Kurenai's house.

"Ding-dong!" Temari pressed the doorbell.

"Coming!" A voice came from inside the house. As the door opened, Kurenai Yuhi appeared in front of Qiu Xiaoming.

Kurenai's jet-black curly hair fell naturally over her shoulders, adding to her mature and feminine charm. Her red eyes gave her a touch of allure, and her loose, orange-red dress couldn't hide her full, high, and fair legs.

"Kurenai-sensei!" Temari called out respectfully to Kurenai Yuhi.

"Teacher Hong!" Qiu Xiaoming also came to his senses and quickly called out.

"Temari, you and Shikamaru are so busy, there's no need for you to come over so often." Kurenai invited Temari and Oka Komei inside.

"Who is this?" Kurenai asked, looking at Qiu Xiaoming beside Temari.

"I am Qiu Xiaoming, and Kushina is my godmother!" Qiu Xiaoming introduced himself.

"Oh, it's Xiaoming! He's grown so much." Yuhi Hong suddenly realized and slapped her forehead. She didn't have much of an impression of Qiu Xiaoming.

"By the way, how is Aunt Kushina's health? Is she alright?" Kurenai asked as she led Temari and Xiaoming Qiu to sit down in the living room.

Their generational hierarchy is actually a bit confusing. Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi are of the same generation, and Kakashi should call Kushina "Shiniang" (Master's Wife), so Kurenai Yuhi should call Kushina "Auntie."

However, Kushina is Naruto's mother, and Kurenai Yuhi is Hinata's teacher. From this perspective, Kurenai should be considered Kushina's peer.

But out of respect, I still call her "Auntie" when we meet.

“Godmother is in good health and has no major problems,” Qiu Xiaoming said with a smile.

How could Kushina's health not be good after being nourished by him for so many days?

"That's good." Kurenai smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll visit Aunt Kushina when I have the chance."

Qiu Xiaoming nodded, without replying.

"By the way, Ms. Kurenai, where is the person from the future? Where did they go?" Temari looked around the room but didn't see anyone from the future, so she asked in confusion.

In the past, when she and Shikamaru came here, Mirai would cling to them as soon as she saw them. Now that she has been sitting for so long and has not seen Mirai, she is naturally a little puzzled.

"Sigh!" Kurenai sighed helplessly and said, "That girl gets incredibly excited when she hears the special alarm. She keeps saying she wants to go on patrol and stuff, and you can't stop her no matter what you do."

"Hehe, that's how young kids are. I was like that when I was her age too," Temari said with a laugh.

"If she had your strength, I wouldn't be worried about her," Kurenai Yuhi said, shaking her head helplessly.

Temari and Kurenai were chatting, while Qiu Xiaoming sat quietly to the side without interrupting. After all, he was only there to familiarize himself with the place and complete a system task.

Besides, he's not familiar with Kurenai Yuhi, so he can get a general idea of ​​Kurenai's situation while Temari is chatting with her, without having to say much.

"Oh dear! We were chatting so much we forgot how long it was, it's almost one o'clock and I haven't even cooked yet." Kurenai suddenly noticed the time and exclaimed, then said apologetically to Temari and Xiaoming, "Temari, Xiaoming, you two sit for a while, have lunch here!"

"No need, Ms. Kurenai, I can take care of it myself when I get back. You don't need to trouble yourself," Temari called out to Kurenai as she walked into the kitchen.

"Don't be shy, you'll have to cook for yourself when you get back, so why don't you just eat here?" said Kurenai Yuhi.

"No need, I still have to bring Shikamaru his food later."

"Then I'll cook it all together. You can take it over after you've finished eating," Kurenai Yuhi said from the kitchen.

"No need, I didn't even take his usual lunchbox. Ms. Hong, I'll head back now and come back next time." With that, Temari stood up and said to Qiu Xiaoming, "Come with me."

"You two, can you even eat here?" Kurenai complained as she heard Temari and Xiaoming Qiu changing their shoes and coming out of the kitchen.

"Teacher Kurenai, Shikamaru and I will come over for dinner next time we have time. There's no need for us today," Temari said as she changed her shoes.

"Alright then, take care on your way!" Kurenai said helplessly, not understanding why Temari was being so stubborn today, refusing to eat at her place. She wasn't usually like this!

Temari led Qiu Xiaoming away from Kurenai's house and headed towards their own home.

"Hey, Xiaoming, you haven't eaten either, have you? Why don't you come to my place to eat?" Temari took a deep breath, bit her red lips, and asked Qiu Xiaoming.

Chapter 65 Let's go to my room.

[Ding! You have interacted with Kurenai Yuhi and have been rewarded with 200 Affection Points.]

The mission was successfully completed.

Adding the 1000 affection points I had before, I now have a total of 1200 affection points. I only need 800 more points to upgrade the lottery machine.

But that's not the key point now. The key point is that he's going to Temari's house for lunch, or...

This was a signal Temari was sending him, a signal she desperately needed.

Originally, Qiu Xiaoming planned to go to Temari's house to eat Yoshino's food after leaving Ino's house, but a sudden system task forced him to give up.

However, after searching for a long time, he still didn't know where to find Kurenai. Just then, Temari appeared and took him to Kurenai's house, thus completing his mission.

Finally, after going around in circles, we'll end up back at Temari's house.

If he had skipped the mission and gone straight to Temari's house, he might have actually had time to eat Yoshino.

But now, if we go to Temari's house, should we eat Temari's food, or Yoshino's? Or rather...?

Qiu Xiaoming was also filled with anticipation.

"Mom, I'm home." Temari called out as she led Qiu Xiaoming back into the house.

However, there was no echo from inside the room.

"That's strange, where did Mom go?" Temari changed into slippers and muttered as she walked into the house. She found lunch already prepared on the dining table, along with a note.

"I saw that you hadn't come back from Hong's place for a while, so I made lunch for Shikamaru to take over. I don't know if you've eaten it or not, so I saved some for you."

Temari looked at the note and breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Qiu Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, you can eat this meal. I'll just grab something to eat."

"How can this be? This was left for you, Temari-nee, by Aunt Yoshino," Qiu Xiaoming said, shaking his head.

"Sit down and eat, don't be so polite with me," Temari said, pressing Qiu Xiaoming into a chair.

"Alright then." Qiu Xiaoming nodded lightly and started eating without being polite.

Temari boiled a kettle of water in the kitchen, then said to Qiu Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, can you keep an eye on the fire for me?"

"Okay!" Qiu Xiaoming replied. Yoshino's cooking was delicious, and there might be some physical work to do later, so he needed to eat more.

"Drip drip drip~~~" Suddenly, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

This isn't Temari using the toilet; she's taking a shower!

"Uh..." Qiu Xiaoming was stunned. Was Temari giving him a hint?

Temari never washes herself in the morning or evening, but she does it right when he's around, and in the middle of the day noon at all.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xiaoming suddenly felt that the rice made by Yoshino in his bowl didn't taste good anymore. How could the rice taste as good as the beauty?

Without any hesitation, Qiu Xiaoming slowly approached the bathroom, his heart filled with excitement. As long as he pushed open this door, Temari might just be his.

"Click!" However, to Qiu Xiaoming's surprise, the bathroom door was locked from the inside.

"Xiaoming, what are you doing?" Temari's voice came from the bathroom.

"Um, I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I didn't expect to find Temari-neechan inside," Qiu Xiaoming replied.
