A slightly nervous female voice interrupted her.

Yamanaka Ino was standing under a streetlamp not far away, her hands clasped nervously in front of her, the light casting a soft halo on her golden hair.

"Well, I didn't mean to overhear you, but I have many empty rooms in my house. After my parents died, I've been living there all by myself."

"If...if you don't mind,"

Ino mustered her courage, and though her voice was soft, it was very clear.

“There are some vacant rooms behind my family’s flower shop. They are very clean and you can stay there temporarily.”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have exhausted all her courage. Her cheeks were flushed, and she dared not look at Seiji, let alone at Hinata's suddenly unfriendly gaze.

Kiyoshi was somewhat surprised. In this world, Yamanaka Ino was actually inviting a strange man to stay at her house?

"Ino, what do you mean!"

Hinata, the eldest sister, was indeed unhappy. She let go of Kiyoshi's arm, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Ino.

Ino shrank back, intimidated by Hinata's imposing presence, but still explained in a low voice:

"I... I just wanted to thank this gentleman for his help... Besides, I live alone... The empty room is just sitting there anyway..."

Her voice got quieter and quieter.

Looking at Ino, who seemed so lonely and helpless, so different from the cheerful girl in real life, and glancing at Hinata, the eldest sister who was like a protective little leopard next to her, Kiyoshi made a decision.

He just happened to have little contact with Ino in the other world, so it's nice to have a change of pace sometimes.

"Okay, excuse me then."

Kiyoshi nodded to Ino.

"Seiji!"

"Hinata, the leader, complained."

"Just staying for one night."

Kiyoshi spoke, seemingly ignoring Hinata's words.

Hinata, the leader, glared angrily at Ino, but dared not disobey Kiyoshi, so she could only say sullenly:

"Then...then I'll come find you again tomorrow!"

After saying that, he gave Ino a warning look before leaving, looking back every few steps.

Following Ino to the mountain flower shop, the door was closed, and there was a narrow passage next to it leading to the living area at the back.

Ino took out her key and opened the door, a faint floral scent mixed with the smell of cleaning agents wafting out.

"Please, please come in."

Ino stepped aside to let Kiyoshi in, then squatted down to prepare slippers for him in the entryway.

Chapter 444 Uchiha Seiji VS Yozuki Seiji

Kiyoshi stood behind her, his gaze inadvertently falling upon her.

Ino was wearing white ankle socks, and because of her squatting posture, her trouser legs were slightly rolled up, revealing a section of her slender, fair ankles.

When she bent over, her light purple loungewear clung to her back, outlining the slender and graceful lines of her shoulders and back, while her squatting posture unintentionally highlighted her waist and hip curves, which, although slim, still had a soft curve.

This is... the taste of youth.

Sometimes, it's good to eat too much of all kinds of plump and mature beauty.

A touch of freshness would be nice too.

"Ino of this world is not bad."

Kiyoshi stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

This is not to say that Ino in the real world is bad, but rather that both of them are good and can arouse Kiyoshi's impulse.

However, Ino in the real world is too young and not yet old enough to reap the rewards; she needs time to wait.

However, the flow of time is different in this world now, and Ino has already grown up.

"What's wrong?"

Inomi Kiyoshi kept staring at him, and thinking there was something dirty on his face, he subconsciously touched it.

"No, it's nothing."

Qingsi shook his head.

"My eye power has not reached its limit yet; it can continue to increase."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

Once his Mangekyou Sharingan is activated, he will transition from the Mangekyou Sharingan state to a state that is almost "eternal Mangekyou Sharingan".

Because his physical body is already a worthy "physical body of an immortal".

If transplanting half of the "interstitial cells" with soil in the original work could achieve this level of results, then his work would be even more impressive.

"Please wear this first."

Ino stood up, her face still flushed, and dared not meet Kiyoshi's gaze.

She carefully arranged the slippers with gentle movements.

The room was indeed very clean and tidy, just as she had said, but it also showed signs that only one person lived there, making it seem somewhat deserted.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Kiyoshi checked the time and spoke.

"Huh? Not...not yet..."

Ino was a little embarrassed.

"Can I use the kitchen?"

"Yes, yes... but how can we let the guests..."

Ino quickly waved her hand.

Kiyoshi didn't say anything and went straight to the kitchen.

In the real world, he also cooks for himself, especially when researching certain medicines or ingredients that require precise control, so he has some experience in cooking.

Moreover, over the years, Kiyoshi has accumulated a great deal of knowledge about food and cooking, and his culinary skills have long since reached their pinnacle.

It's no exaggeration to say that Kiyoshi could make a name for himself in the culinary world of ninjas.

Being a culinary shadow is no problem at all.

Ino stood helplessly at the kitchen doorway, watching Kiyoshi skillfully tie on her usual floral apron, check the ingredients, and then begin to prepare them.

Chop vegetables, heat oil, put them in the pan, season...

Before long, several delicious and colorful home-style dishes were placed on the small dining table.

Simple seasonal vegetables, perfectly pan-fried fish, and a bowl of miso soup—the aroma is irresistible.

"Please use."

Kiyoshi took off his apron, his expression unchanged.

Back when he was weak, he even used his cooking skills to get closer to Mikoto.

Ino sat down at the dining table in a daze.

She looked at the exquisitely presented dishes in front of her, then stole a glance at the handsome Qing Si across from her, feeling that everything was so unreal.

She carefully picked up a piece of vegetables with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Crisp and refreshing, cooked to perfection.

She took another bite of the fish; the outer skin was slightly crispy, while the inside was tender and juicy.

"……tasty!"

Ino couldn't help but gasp softly, looking up at Kiyoshi with disbelief in her eyes.

She exclaimed with genuine admiration:

"It's really...delicious, much better than what I make!"

She began to eat in small but quick bites, her face beaming with a satisfied and happy smile, and her previous restraint and shyness seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Being able to eat such warm and delicious food prepared by others in this cold, one-person home was a long-lost experience for her.

“Um… Mr. Kiyoshi…”

As Ino ate, something suddenly occurred to her, and with a hint of hesitation in her voice, she whispered:

"If Hinata finds out about this, she'll definitely be very angry, right?"

Kiyoshi smiled upon hearing Ino's words.

Although it might sound a bit like a manipulative woman, Kiyoshi knew that Ino didn't mean it that way.

"Don't worry about Hinata, just focus on doing your best."

Kiyoshi said.

Hinata, the leader of this world, may be a bit of a delinquent, but she's not unreasonable or domineering.

"Is...is that so?"

Ino nodded as if she understood.

She felt a subtle sense of happiness because of Kiyoshi's words.

In this distorted world of Tsukuyomi, even gratitude and a little bit of closeness seem to have become cautious and tinged with an inappropriate sense of agitation.

Qing Si looked at the complex expression on her face, a mixture of gratitude, happiness, and a hint of smugness, and simply picked up his water glass and took a sip.

Dinner time ended quickly.

Ino rushed to take the dishes to the kitchen to wash, saying that it was already very impolite to have the guests cook, and that Kiyoshi could just wait.

Seeing this, Qing Si did not argue.

He sat on the sofa, contemplating the passage of time in both worlds.

Judging from the movie "Naruto: Road to Ninja", Naruto and Sakura stayed in the "Limited Tsukuyomi" for a period of time. When they came out, it was still the night they entered the "Limited Tsukuyomi", and there were even traces of the fight they had fought before entering on the ground.

This means that the flow of time in the real world would be extremely close to zero.

Kiyoshi doesn't need to worry that Konoha will panic too much after he disappears.

While Kiyoshi was pondering, Ino had already finished washing the dishes and chopsticks.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Kiyoshi, I'll go make the bed."

After saying that, Ino took out a clean quilt and mattress from the closet.

It's clear that she takes good care of it; it even has a sun-kissed scent.

"It's right here, the room is a bit small."

Ino was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, having a place to stay is good enough."

Qingsi nodded slightly.

"Well... I'm going to sleep now."

Ino spoke.

Although it was the first time Ino had allowed a strange male visitor to stay, she felt that Kiyoshi was not a bad person.

Furthermore, Konoha Police Department ninjas patrol at night, and a simple shout will bring police officers to enforce the law.

So Ino wasn't worried about anything, just a little nervous.

This is my first time experiencing this.

After Ino left, Kiyoshi lay on the clean and tidy bed, but did not fall asleep immediately.

His senses were like an invisible spider web, quietly covering his surroundings.
