Naruto: Swarm System

"Damn it!!!"

"Give me back the Third Kazekage puppet!"

Hearing Sasori's furious voice, Shishou laughed heartily and commanded the black armored centipede to block Sasori's path. Holding Temari tightly, he quickly fled the scene.

To him, Sasori's strength was nothing noteworthy. However, if someone with the newly acquired Chunin rank like Oil-User Shishou were to defeat Sasori, it would be far too shocking. To avoid exposing his true identity, Shishou decided it wasn't worth engaging further.

After all, acquiring the Third Kazekage human puppet was a significant gain for Shishou.

Temari, cradled in Shishou's arm as he held her legs, watched the black armored centipede fend off Sasori. Then, she glanced at the Third Kazekage puppet in Shishou's other hand, feeling like she was in a dream.

Did Shishou really just snatch the Third Kazekage puppet from Sasori???

That was incredibly impressive!!!

After Shishou and Temari escaped, the black armored centipede continued to entangle Sasori for a while before it canceled the summoning and returned to Ryuchi Cave.

Sasori chased after them for a bit but eventually lost track of Shishou and Temari.

Staring at the darkening sky, Sasori muttered to himself, "Never mind. That girl is from Sunagakure. We'll cross paths again in a few days. I'll deal with them then."

With that, Sasori continued his journey toward Sunagakure.

"Grandmother, your grandson is coming to see you."

...

Elsewhere.

After fleeing a certain distance with Temari, Shishou performed a hand sign, using a sensory jutsu to check if Sasori was tracking them.

After confirming multiple times that Sasori wasn't following, Shishou put Temari and the Third Kazekage puppet down and collapsed to the ground in apparent exhaustion.

Of course, he was only pretending.

"Shishou!"

Seeing Shishou collapse, Temari cried out in alarm, quickly holding him in her arms and asking worriedly, "Shishou, what's wrong?"

Enjoying the warmth of the young girl's embrace, Shishou weakly replied, "I just overused my chakra. The insect swarm earlier consumed too much of it."

Hmm, it probably used up less than 1% of my chakra. Yes, quite a lot indeed...

Temari believed Shishou's explanation without question. After all, to her, summoning a giant creature and creating a large-scale insect swarm covering dozens of meters far surpassed the abilities of an ordinary Jounin.

If such feats didn't exhaust his chakra, it would be strange.

"The sky is already dark. Let's find a place to hide."

Temari hoisted Shishou onto her back, carrying the Third Kazekage puppet in her hand, and began walking slowly.

Shishou, resting on Temari's back and enjoying the faint fragrance of her hair, felt quite pleased.

He reassured her, "Sasori isn't following us anymore. There's no need to worry."

"Mm," Temari responded, continuing to carry Shishou forward.

It wasn't long before Temari found a small cave. Actually, it was more of a shallow hollow under a cliff.

"Shishou, sit here for a moment."

Temari set Shishou down, made a shadow clone, and instructed it to catch some game for food.

Meanwhile, she stayed with Shishou, starting a campfire and chatting with him.

Earlier, they had barely started eating when Sasori appeared, leaving them still hungry.

When the shadow clone returned with a rabbit, Temari clumsily began preparing it. As the princess of Sunagakure, she rarely cooked herself, making the task quite challenging.

Fortunately, Temari had some basic survival knowledge and managed to prepare the rabbit and set it over the fire to roast.

Shishou watched quietly as Temari bustled around the campfire.

Shared hardships and mutual support are powerful ways to deepen bonds, which was partly why Shishou pretended to be exhausted.

However, after tasting the rabbit Temari roasted, Shishou immediately regretted his decision.

The meat was awful, half-cooked, and barely edible!!!

Seeing Shishou's stiff expression, Temari became terribly embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I... I can't cook..."

Seeing the usually strong-willed Temari transform into a timid, apologetic girl due to her cooking failure, Shishou couldn't help but laugh. He suggested, "Let me teach you. Help me over to the fire."

"Okay."

Temari supported the 'exhausted' Shishou over to the fire. Following his instructions, she roasted the rabbit again.

To prevent Shishou from overexerting himself, Temari blushed and let him lie in her lap while feeding him the roasted meat, taking care of him tenderly.

Once they finished eating, Temari urged Shishou to rest while she stood guard for the night.

Shishou complied, lying by the fire and falling into a deep sleep.

Listening to Shishou's steady breathing, Temari gazed at his handsome face, lost in thought.

Recalling the past few days of training and Shishou's unwavering protection, her heart began to race.

Glancing around to ensure they were alone, Temari quietly approached Shishou and bent down...

With a gentle, quick kiss on his lips, Temari straightened up immediately, her heart pounding as she darted away.

Feeling her heart pounding as if it would burst, Temari's face turned crimson as she peeked at Shishou.

Confirming that Shishou hadn't awakened, she sighed in relief, feeling a rush of joy.

Not long after, she sneaked back to Shishou's side...

"Uh..."

Just as Temari bent down again, she realized Shishou was awake, smiling at her.

"I... I was just..."

Caught red-handed, Temari panicked.

Shishou said nothing, pulling her down and kissing her deeply.

"Mmm..."

Temari's face turned beet red, and even her ears flushed a vivid red.

After a while, Shishou released the blushing Temari, holding her in his arms with a chuckle, "Satisfied now?"

Temari felt so embarrassed she wanted to hide, avoiding Shishou's gaze as she hurriedly wriggled out of his embrace.

She feared that if she stayed any longer, Shishou might lose control and do something strange.

More importantly, she felt she wouldn't refuse him...

Shishou held Temari close and reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

The fruit is not ripe yet...

With that, Shishou held Temari from behind and fell asleep.

Temari, nestled in Shishou's arms, feeling his breath on her neck, lay there with her body tense and her mind in turmoil.

That entire night, Temari hardly slept a wink.
