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

"Yeah, Shion too, she kept blocking me from leaving." Ino asked, tilting her head back as she ate her baguette.

"They probably want to give Temari a perfect first time!" Qiu Xiaoming thought for a moment and roughly guessed what Shion and Hinata were thinking.

He had originally planned to let whoever came in first last night play with him first, and then surprise those who came in later by seeing what he had just done.

But it was Temari who arrived, and no one else came for a long time. Qiu Xiaoming was also a little confused, but after hearing what Sakura said, he guessed what was going on.

"First time?" Sakura looked at Temari with some surprise.

When Temari saw the way Sakura was looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Sakura and Qiu Xiaoming.

"Sister Xiaoying, shall we go together tonight?" Qiu Xiaoming gently nibbled on Xiaoying's earlobe and said ambiguously.

Upon hearing Qiu Xiaoming's words, Xiaoying's face instantly turned bright red, and she shyly looked away.

"Ino-nee, what do you say?" Qiu Xiaoming asked Ino, who was eating a baguette, when he saw that Sakura hadn't said anything.

"Of course I don't care, it's all going to happen sooner or later anyway," Ino said casually without even looking up.

"Temari-neechan, what about you?" Qiu Xiaoming looked at Temari and asked.

"I...I'm fine with anything! Whatever you like!" Temari said shyly in a low voice.

Since Sakura and Ino just saw her, she has to get back at them, otherwise she'll be at a huge loss.

"Sister Xiaoying, look, they've all agreed, so don't be shy, let's play together tonight!" Qiu Xiaoming said with a grin.

Sakura playfully punched Qiu Xiaoming's chest and said, "You jerk, you're always bullying me."

Actually, she didn't mind, but she felt that agreeing to Qiu Xiaoming's request so easily was too lenient on him.

"Oh, Sakura-nee, just say yes! We're practically an old married couple anyway. Ino-nee said it was only a matter of time." Qiu Xiaoming grabbed Sakura's hand that was pounding his chest, kissed it, and said with a grin.

"You little rascal, you got off easy." Sakura scolded playfully, too lazy to say anything more, since she would have to do this kind of thing sooner or later anyway.

"I knew you'd agree, Sister Xiaoying, I love you." Qiu Xiaoming was overjoyed and hugged Xiaoying tightly in his arms, showering her with affection.

Seeing Qiu Xiaoming so happy, Xiaoying couldn't help but smile as well.

"Hehe, Sakura-nee, since you've agreed, why don't you and Ino-nee help me clean up?" Qiu Xiaoming seized the opportunity to make a request.

After hesitating for a moment, Sakura awkwardly squatted down and started cleaning the baguette with Ino.

Sakura and Ino were cleaning the baguettes when they looked at each other, both of them blushing.

The two were best friends since childhood, growing up together, but their relationship changed because of Sasuke, and they became rivals.

Although Ino and Sakura's relationship improved a lot as they got older, they still bickered and argued from time to time.

They never imagined that one day they would be cleaning for a man, not even Sasuke; they never thought such an absurd idea would come to mind.

However, now that Qiu Xiaoming has done this, they have not objected at all. On the contrary, they feel that this feeling is very strange and novel.

Right now, they're just cleaning together; tonight, they're going to have fun together.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xiaoming and Jingye were both excited.

After resting for a while, Temari looked at Sakura and Ino cleaning up, hesitated for a moment, then squatted down and joined the two of them in cleaning up.

Chapter 134 The Cat is Shy

"Where's Temari? Why didn't she come down for dinner?" Kushina asked, puzzled, as she didn't see Temari in the restaurant.

"Temari isn't used to traveling by car, she's feeling a bit unwell, and she's resting." Sakura casually made up a lie.

"Not feeling well?" Kushina was a little confused. She hadn't seen Temari looking unwell yesterday, so why was she suddenly feeling unwell?

"Are you alright?" Kushina asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a rest," Sakura said, shaking her head.

"Temari isn't feeling well, so let's stay here for a couple more days until she's feeling better," Shion suggested.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, the women nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Kushina thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright, let's stay here for two days! We'll set off again once Temari has recovered."

Upon hearing this, the women exchanged glances, a hint of secret delight in their eyes.

Tonight is going to be an epic battle, so they need to conserve their energy and try to avoid expending too much strength so that the night can be even more exciting.

After dinner, the women returned to their rooms to rest, awaiting the big battle that night, while Qiu Xiaoming went out shopping with Huan.

She kept her head down the whole way, her little face flushed for some reason, as tempting as an apple.

Qiu Xiaoming looked at Huan beside him and asked, "Sister Huan, where would you like to go for a walk?"

"I... I can walk around by myself, you don't need to come with me," Huan said softly, her head down.

During this time, she often went shopping and played with Ziyuan and Qiu Xiaoming, but she had never gone shopping and played with Qiu Xiaoming alone before. Especially after that ambiguous scene yesterday, her heart was pounding and her cheeks were slightly red. She didn't dare to look at Qiu Xiaoming at all.

"It's alright, I'm free anyway, let's take a walk together," Qiu Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Well, okay then," Huan said softly, her head lowered and her cheeks still slightly flushed.

Although this village is not as big as Konoha Village, it is not small either, and it has a wide variety of shops. Qiu Xiaoming strolled along this bustling street with Huan in his arms.

A meow caught their attention.

"Wow! It's a cat!" Kan's eyes lit up with excitement.

Kiba Inuzuka likes dogs, while Tamaki likes cats, so it's no wonder she gets very excited when she sees a cat.

"Mimi~" Huan squatted down beside the cat, gently stroking its soft fur, and called out happily.

"Meow~" The cat seemed to be enjoying being petted and let out a satisfied meow.

Qiu Xiaoming stood beside Huan, watching Huan tease the cat, a smile appearing on his face.

"So cute, so adorable~" Qiu Xiaoming walked closer to the cat and reached out to pet it.

"Meow~" The moment Qiu Xiaoming's hand touched the cat, the cat immediately let out a sharp cry.

Qiu Xiaoming was startled and immediately withdrew his hand, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

“Cats are very shy around strangers,” Huan said, looking up at Qiu Xiaoming.

"Then why isn't it afraid of you?" Qiu Xiaoming asked.

"Because I've lived with cats since I was little, they're not afraid of me," Huan explained with a smile.

"Who are you?" Just then, a weak, childish voice rang out.

Behind a wall, a small head peeked out, blinking its big eyes as it looked at Qiu Xiaoming and Huan.

"Little brother, is this cat yours?" Huan asked, looking at the child hiding behind the wall.

"Um...it's mine. Who are you? I've never seen you before?" The little boy was a little scared, but he couldn't help but steal glances at the ring and whispered.

The little boy's clothes were tattered and worn, with very little fabric, and even let in the wind. His face was also stained.

"Hehe, we are tourists from out of town," Huan said with a smile.

"Travelers?" The little boy's face was full of doubt as he said, "We rarely have travelers here. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

"Why?" Huan asked the little boy, puzzled.

"Meow~" the kitten meowed, then ran towards the little boy and jumped into his arms.

"You, you'd better leave here quickly," the little boy said, clutching the kitten, before hurriedly running away.

Looking at the little boy walking away, Huan's little face showed a look of confusion.

"This child is so strange!" Huan muttered to herself.

"Really?" Qiu Xiaoming didn't find anything strange about it.

"Shall we go and take a look?" Huan looked up at Qiu Xiaoming and suggested.

"Okay." Qiu Xiaoming nodded.

Qiu Xiaoming didn't know what Huan wanted to see, but since she wanted to see it, Qiu Xiaoming would just go with her.

Huan and Qiu Xiaoming quietly followed behind the little boy and saw him enter a dilapidated courtyard.

"They've gone home, should we continue to follow them and check on them?" Qiu Xiaoming asked Huan.

"Forget it, let's go back," Huan said, shaking her head.

"Snapped!"

"Ah!" Just as the two were about to leave, a sound of whipping came from inside the mansion, along with a painful scream.

"Who let you run out?" an angry voice rang out, followed by the sound of whipping.

"Ah~"

"Meow~" came the kitten's pitiful cry, followed by the sound of whipping, howling, and screams.

Huan frowned, stopped, and looked in the direction of the house. After thinking for a moment, she bit her lip and said to Qiu Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, let's go take a look."

"Okay." Qiu Xiaoming nodded, agreeing to Huan's request.

The two leaped onto the top of the wall and looked into the courtyard.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" A man was seen holding a whip, repeatedly lashing it at the little boy, who was lying on the ground, tightly hugging the kitten in his arms.

Upon seeing this, Huan's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she lunged directly at the man, pulling Qi Siwu away.

"Sister Huan!" Qiu Xiaoming was startled when he saw Huan rush out and hurriedly chased after her.

"Crack!" The man swung his whip down, but Huan's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, gripping the whip tightly. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the whip back.

"Who are you?!" the man said coldly, his eyes narrowing.

"What are you doing? What right do you have to hit him like that?" Huan looked at the man and questioned him.

"We're disciplining our own child, what's it to you?!" the man roared at Huan, his face contorted with rage. He abruptly pulled back his whip and kicked Huan.

"Bang!" Qiu Xiaoming quickly stepped in front of Huan, crossing his arms to protect his chest, and took the man's kick head-on.

Chapter 135 You Go First

Seeing that Qiu Xiaoming had caught his kick steadily, the man's eyes narrowed, and then he launched a series of whip kicks at Qiu Xiaoming. Each kick was accompanied by a strong whooshing sound, and when it hit Qiu Xiaoming, it made a loud banging sound.

"You son of a bitch, you're addicted to kicking me?" Qiu Xiaoming's face showed anger as he grabbed the man's calf and threw him away.

"Whoosh!" The man's figure flew backward, but he was also very agile. He flipped once in the air, lightly touched the wall, and then landed steadily.

"Who exactly are you?" The man looked at Huan and Qiu Xiaoming with a gloomy gaze, his tone cold and tinged with murderous intent, clearly indicating that he was ready to kill them.

"Who do you care who we are!" Qiu Xiaoming roared, lunging at the man with his fists clenched tightly, aiming to smash the man's face.

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, raised his hand to block Qiu Xiaoming's punch, and then used his other hand to slap Qiu Xiaoming's abdomen.

Not to be outdone, Qiu Xiaoming raised his other hand to shield his stomach, colliding with the man's outstretched hand.

"Slap slap~" The two pushed each other away.

"Hmph!" The man snorted again and kicked Qiu Xiaoming with his right foot.

Qiu Xiaoming dodged the man's kick by shifting her body to the side, and then, taking advantage of the man's momentary lapse in attention, raised her foot and kicked him in the groin.

Upon seeing this, the man's eye muscles twitched slightly. He quickly bent over, covered his groin with both hands, and dodged Qiu Xiaoming's fatal blow.

But this caused the man to lose the initiative, and Qiu Xiaoming took the opportunity to raise his palm and slap the man's chest.

"Whoosh!" The man dared not compete with Qiu Xiaoming in physical skills any longer. He moved his feet a few inches, his body instantly dodging, and retreated to create distance.

"Who exactly are you? Why did you hurt that child?" Qiu Xiaoming stared at the man and asked coldly.

Regardless of the circumstances, beating a child like that definitely doesn't belong to a good person.

"Very well, so you actually sought help from outsiders. I'd like to see just how much they can help you!" The man said with a sinister look in his eyes as he looked at the little boy huddled on the ground.

Seeing the man's sinister gaze, the little boy trembled, curled up into a ball, and hugged the kitten even tighter.

"I'd like to see how you plan to bully him now." Qiu Xiaoming glanced at the little boy, then looked at the man, snorted coldly, and said.

"None of you will leave here alive today!" The man glanced at Qiu Xiaoming, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Then, he clasped his hands together, quickly forming a hand seal, and shouted, "Earth Escape: Earth Prison!"

"Rumble~~" Just as the man finished speaking, the ground beneath Qiu Xiaoming's feet suddenly trembled, and stone pillars abruptly rose from the ground, trapping Qiu Xiaoming and the others in place.

Qiu Xiaoming naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death. He quickly formed a hand seal and then used a ninjutsu: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

"Whoosh~" Qiu Xiaoming opened his mouth and spat out raging flames, which swept outwards and destroyed all the stone pillars constructed by the earth escape technique.

"Hmm?" The man raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Qiu Xiaoming's ninjutsu to be so powerful, actually destroying the earth-escape technique he had just cast.
