Chapter 10: Just One More Minute
"Ah… this…"
Hinata's face turned bright red the moment she heard the suggestion.
Taking a bath together with her teacher? That sounded so embarrassing…
But when she saw Mingyu's serious expression, she nodded shyly. "I understand. I'll invite Sensei when I get home. I'll also tell Kiba and Shino about this legend."
"Wait, no! Don't tell them!" Mingyu quickly stopped her. "This legend took me forever to find in all those ancient books. I searched specially for you. You only need to invite Kurenai-sensei."
Are you kidding? I don't want to see Kiba and Shino naked. One of them always smells like dog, and the other is covered in bugs. No thanks.
"Thank you, Big Brother Mingyu."
Hinata was easy to fool. After Mingyu's smooth talk, her face lit up with happiness and her heart felt warm and sweet.
Big Brother Mingyu worked so hard just for my safety… I'm so touched.
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? As long as you're safe, I'm happy."
"Mhm! I'll go find Sensei right now."
"Good. By the way, which bathhouse are you planning to go to?" Mingyu asked quickly, then immediately felt the question sounded suspicious and added, "I heard the one at the southernmost part of the village has the best hot springs. You should try that one."
"Okay! Thank you, Big Brother Mingyu!"
Hinata skipped away happily.
"Silly girl…" Mingyu watched her retreating figure with a soft smile, silently vowing in his heart to protect her well.
Otherwise, with how kind and innocent she was, she might get sold off one day without even realizing it.
"God, please let me complete this mission smoothly!"
With that, Mingyu vanished into the darkness.
By the time Mingyu arrived at the bathhouse, night had already fallen and the place was bustling.
He didn't go in immediately. Instead, he hid in a dark corner and waited for Hinata and Kurenai to show up.
"Ugh, after a long day, I can finally relax with a nice bath!"
A curvaceous woman walked over. Mingyu's eyes widened.
Holy shit, isn't that Anko Mitarashi?
As one of the big beauties from the early Naruto series, Anko had left a deep impression on him — especially those massive "steamed buns" on her chest that countless men dreamed about.
After Anko went inside, two more familiar figures appeared.
It was Sakura and Ino.
"They're here to bathe too? This…"
Jackpot!
Mingyu was speechless. How could he be this lucky? He had only planned to secretly watch Kurenai, but now all these beauties were showing up.
After a long wait, Hinata and Kurenai finally arrived.
"Hinata, why did you suddenly want to come here for a bath?" Kurenai asked, puzzled. She had been on a date with Asuma when Hinata dragged her here.
"W-well… Sensei, we're going on a mission tomorrow, so we should relax properly tonight," Hinata replied, her face flushed.
She didn't dare mention the "legend" Mingyu had told her.
"You… Alright. It's been a while since I last came anyway. A bath sounds nice."
Kurenai sighed helplessly and followed Hinata inside.
Oh my god…
Mingyu's heart was pounding wildly.
Although this wasn't his first time sneaking into the women's bath, seeing so many familiar faces at once still made him nervous with excitement.
"Fuck it. All or nothing."
He activated a card.
Ding! Ninjutsu Card used — Ninjutsu power increased by 100%.
"Transformation Jutsu!"
Mingyu turned himself into a young woman and boldly walked into the bathhouse.
He had done this before, but Kurenai hadn't been present then. This time was different — Kurenai was a genjutsu expert and far more sensitive to ninjutsu than others.
"One for the bath," the attendant called out.
With trembling hands, Mingyu pushed open the door to the women's section. A breathtaking scene instantly filled his eyes.
Especially Anko and Kurenai — their figures were ridiculously well-developed. Those two assets were practically floating on the water.
Thankfully, Mingyu had strong self-control, or his nose would have started bleeding immediately.
"Are you alright, miss?" Kurenai asked, looking at him curiously. She felt something was off but couldn't figure out what.
"N-nothing… It's my first time here, so I'm a bit shy."
"Oh, don't worry. We're all women here," Anko smiled and leaned back comfortably in the water, even giving her chest a playful squeeze.
Holy shit, does it have to be this intense?!
Mingyu screamed internally as he slowly entered the water. He stayed huddled in the corner, not daring to get closer in case he got exposed.
The next while was pure torture mixed with pleasure for him.
"Wow, Anko-senpai's are so big… Why are mine so small?" Sakura complained.
"It's fine. You're still young. They'll grow bigger later," Kurenai reassured her gently.
"In the future, I want mine to be even bigger than Anko-sensei's. Then I'll let Big Brother Mingyu touch them!"
Ino said dreamily.
Hinata immediately looked unhappy.
"Mine will definitely be bigger than yours in the future. Big Brother Mingyu will only like mine!"
"Mine are bigger."
"No, mine!"
...
Watching the girls competitively compare their sizes, Mingyu felt a complicated mix of emotions.
Just one more minute… After one minute, I'll leave immediately.
One minute later.
Just one more minute… Then I swear I'll leave.
Twenty minutes later.
"I really need to leave now, or the transformation will wear off and I'm screwed. But… this view is just too beautiful. I don't want to go…"
"Hey, why are you sitting there all alone? Come bathe with us," Kurenai suddenly called out.
"N-no, that's okay!"
Mingyu panicked. Of course I want to join you, but if I get exposed, you'll probably beat me to death!
"What's wrong with it? We're all from the same village," Anko said as she swam over and suddenly hugged him from behind. "By the way, what's your name? I don't think I've seen you before."
Fuck!
Feeling the soft pressure against his back, Mingyu felt like he was about to lose his mind.
It felt way too good.
"N-no, I have to go! My mom is calling me home for dinner!"
He didn't dare stay any longer. He quickly stood up and rushed toward the exit.
Everyone else stared in confusion.
"What's wrong with her?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. Maybe she felt insecure after seeing Anko-senpai," Ino replied.
"Whatever. Let's just enjoy our bath. After a tiring day, this feels amazing," Anko waved it off casually.
Only Hinata watched Mingyu's departing back with a puzzled expression.
That person… felt a little familiar.
