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

"Mmm!" Yabuki responded, then continued to immerse herself in her own world.

Seeing that Xiaoying had left, Qiu Xiaoming gently helped Yachui up.

Ya Chui didn't know what Qiu Xiaoming was going to do, but she still obediently cooperated.

Qiu Xiaoming put his arm around Ya Chui and led her to the full-length mirror. He breathed into her ear and said, "Aunt Ya Chui, look how beautiful you are."

Yabuki looked at herself in the mirror, a blush rising on her pretty face. She lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

To be honest, Ya Chui could hardly believe that the person in the mirror was herself. Her skin was delicate and fair, charming and alluring, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of affection. She looked as beautiful as a blooming flower bud.

Is this still me?

Yabuki dares to guarantee that even Haruno Zhao had never seen this side of her; only Qiu Xiaoming could make her reveal this alluring side.

"So beautiful." Qiu Xiaoming touched Ya Chui's smooth skin, then held the steamed bun and said admiringly.

Qiu Xiaoming felt a great sense of accomplishment seeing the buds sprout in such a way.

Ya Chui felt a sweet warmth in her heart after hearing Qiu Xiaoming's praise. She leaned against Qiu Xiaoming's chest and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"Has Uncle Zhao seen this side of you before?" Qiu Xiaoming suddenly asked.

"He doesn't have your skills at all," Yabuki said dismissively, curling her lip slightly.

If Haruno Zhao had Qiu Xiaoming's strength, how could she have been so easily won over by him and completely submitted to him?

"Haha!" Qiu Xiaoming smiled with satisfaction, then picked up Ya Chui's two legs.

"Ah!" Ya exclaimed sweetly. She could clearly see the baguette's adventure in exploring the Water Curtain Cave in the mirror.

"No, don't do this!" Yabuki said shyly, biting her red lips.

"Hehe! Aunt Ya Chui looks the most beautiful like this," Qiu Xiaoming said with a mischievous smile.

"You're so annoying," Yabuki said coquettishly.

She had no choice. Since Qiu Xiaoming liked it this way, she could only go along with it. However, she closed her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at herself in the mirror.

"Auntie Yachui, open your eyes," Qiu Xiaoming commanded.

When Ya Chui heard Qiu Xiaoming's words, she hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her eyes and looking at herself and Qiu Xiaoming in the mirror.

"It's coming!" Yabuki suddenly exclaimed, and then a jet of water hit the mirror.

"Whoosh~~" Ya Chui collapsed in Qiu Xiaoming's arms, breathing in the fresh air in big gulps, almost fainting from happiness.

Qiu Xiaoming gently placed Ya on the bed, kissed her forehead lightly, and said, "Get some rest."

"Mmm," Yabuki responded weakly.

Qiu Xiaoming got dressed and went downstairs.

"Finished playing?" Sakura said irritably when she saw Qiu Xiaoming come down.

"Ah."

"We're done playing, let's go. We're going to Sunagakure." Sakura said, preparing to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Mikoto suddenly called out to Sakura, then said, "It's almost noon, why don't you have some lunch before you leave?"

Sakura glanced at the clock on the wall, nodded helplessly, and sat back down on the sofa.

When Mikoto saw that Sakura had agreed, a hint of joy appeared in her beautiful eyes. Then she said to Qiu Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, come to the kitchen and help me."

After having her fun with the buds, Mikoto naturally wanted to have some fun before Qiu Xiaoming left.

However, since Sarada had already returned, and she couldn't go with Sakura to cook, Mikoto had to cook instead, and then invite Xiaoming Qiu in to play together.

Sakura was speechless when she heard Mikoto's invitation to Qiu Xiaoming. Of course, she knew why Mikoto wanted Qiu Xiaoming to go to the kitchen.

She knew that her family was doomed.

"Hehe!" Qiu Xiaoming rubbed his hands together after hearing Meiqin's invitation and followed her into the kitchen.

"Nana, from now on, try to avoid contact with your brother Xiaoming, okay?" Sakura warned Sarada, who was playing with her toys.

"Why?" Sarada blinked her small eyes and asked in confusion.

"In short, minimize contact." Sakura didn't dare let Sarada have contact with Qiu Xiaoming. Qiu Xiaoming even dared to sleep with her and Meibuki. Who knows if Sarada would have any feelings for her when she grew up?

"No!" Sarada pouted and firmly retorted, "Nana really likes Brother Xiaoming, and I don't want to stop playing with him."

Chapter 238 Sunagakure

"Whoosh~ Whoosh whoosh~"

After having eaten and drunk their fill, Qiu Xiaoming and Xiaoying embarked on their journey to Sunagakure.

The two figures moved swiftly through the woods, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

"Are you satisfied now? You've eaten it all up!" After several days of traveling, Xiaoying finally couldn't help but speak up and complain about Qiu Xiaoming.

"Satisfied, absolutely satisfied," Qiu Xiaoming chuckled.

"Bang!" Xiaoying tapped Qiu Xiaoming on the head in annoyance, rolled her eyes at her, and said, "You've gotten all worked up about it. How am I supposed to explain this to my dad?"

"What's there to explain? He doesn't know, and Auntie is very happy. We can just keep it quiet, just like you didn't explain to Sasuke." Qiu Xiaoming waved his hand dismissively and said.

"You!" Xiaoying was speechless, choked by Qiu Xiaoming's words.

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Let's hurry up and get going. Sunagakure is just ahead," Sakura said with a cold snort.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" The two sped up and ran towards Sunagakure.

Within the territory of Sunagakure Village, sandstorms raged, and yellow sand danced in the air.

"Is this Sunagakure?" This was Qiu Xiaoming's first time in Sunagakure territory. Looking at the desolate scenery around him, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

“The weather here in Sunagakure is extremely hot during the day and freezing cold at night. Living in such an environment is indeed quite uncomfortable,” Sakura said, gently shaking her head.

She had visited Sunagakure several times, but each time she found it difficult to adapt to the environment.

"Stay close, there's sand everywhere, you'll get lost if you're not careful," Xiaoying said to Qiu Xiaoming as she turned around.

"Mm." Qiu Xiaoming nodded in agreement upon hearing Xiaoying's words.

The two walked side by side for a while and finally reached the outskirts of Sunagakure.

"Who's that up ahead?" a guard at the entrance of Sunagakure Village suddenly shouted.

"Ah! It's us, from Konoha Village!" Sakura stopped and answered hurriedly.

"The people from Konoha Village have arrived!" Upon hearing that it was people from Konoha Village, the guards of Sunagakure Village immediately opened the gates of Sunagakure Village.

"Whoosh!" A figure flashed and blocked Xiaoying and Qiu Xiaoming's path.

"As expected, you are from Konoha Village." Upon seeing Sakura and Qiu Xiaoming's headbands, the newcomer smiled faintly and said, "Thank you to our two friends from Konoha Village for helping Sunagakure Village. Please."

He had naturally received the notification from above that Konoha Village would send people to provide support.

"Thank you," Sakura said politely, then led Qiu Xiaoming into Sunagakure.

Qiu Xiaoming followed behind Xiaoying, curiously observing the surrounding environment.

The houses were all built with earthen walls, making them look old and dilapidated, and the stone slabs on the streets were covered with yellow sand.

"How is the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara?" Sakura asked the Sand Village ninja who was leading the way.

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village ninja's face turned serious. He then shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it."

He was just a gatekeeper ninja; how could he possibly know Gaara's current condition?

"Okay, I understand." Sakura nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the Sand Village ninjas brought Sakura and Akira to the Kazekage Building, where a beautiful woman was waiting for them at the entrance.

Qiu Xiaoming's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman had short, brown-gold hair and blue eyes like crescent moons. Even though her pretty face showed a slight frown, she still wore a smile.

"Sakura, you've arrived!" The beautiful woman smiled gently when she saw Sakura.

"Aunt Karyu!" Sakura quickened her pace and ran towards the beautiful woman.

"Karuga?" Qiu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment after hearing Sakura's address to the beautiful woman, then he remembered the name Karuga, who was Gaara's mother!

Wasn't she already dead?

However, after thinking about it, Qiu Xiaoming realized that since Mikoto and Kushina were also safe, it wasn't surprising that Karyu was still alive.

"And who is this?" Galyu asked Qiu Xiaoming.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Karura, and this is Naruto's sworn brother, Qiu Xiaoming," Sakura said, pointing to Qiu Xiaoming.

"So it's Xiaoming!" Karyu nodded after hearing this, then extended his right hand to shake Qiu Xiaoming's hand and said with a smile, "Welcome to Sunagakure."

"Hello, Aunt Jia Liuluo." Qiu Xiaoming obediently extended his right hand and shook hands with Jia Liuluo.

"So soft!" Qiu Xiaoming felt a soft touch in his palm as soon as he grasped Galuluo's hand.

Of course, in order to leave a good impression on Galyu, Qiu Xiaoming wouldn't hold on to it forever.

"Aunt Karyu, how is Gaara? Is he alright?" Sakura asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Karyu's pretty face showed even more worry. She sighed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alas! The situation is terrible. The medical ninjas in the medical team have done their best, but... but..."

As Karyu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Sakura panicked upon seeing this and hurriedly said, "Aunt Karyu, don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely heal Airo!"

"Yes, please!" Karyu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, gripped Sakura's hands tightly, and pleaded.

Sakura nodded solemnly after hearing this.

"Aunt Karyu, I won't chat with you any longer. I'm going to check on Gaara," Sakura said, letting go of Karyu's arm.

"Then I'll trouble you." Galyu nodded, her beautiful eyes filled with hope.

"Okay." Sakura nodded again, then walked towards the Kazekage Building.

Watching Sakura's departing figure, Karyu looked at Qiu Xiaoming and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to help?"

"Um... I don't know anything about medicine," Qiu Xiaoming said awkwardly, scratching his head.

"You don't know medicine?" Galuro was also stunned, somewhat confused. If Qiu Xiaoming didn't know medicine, then why did he come with Xiaoying?

Protect Sakura? But according to her observation, Qiu Xiaoming is not as strong as Sakura, so it's more likely that Sakura will protect him.

"Oh, I see. Then come with me. I'll arrange accommodations for you and Sakura." Garuru didn't ask any more questions, since she wasn't familiar with Qiu Xiaoming and it wouldn't be good to ask rashly.

"Okay, thank you!" Qiu Xiaoming said, then followed behind Galuro.

Soon, Gariu Luo led Qiu Xiaoming to a three-story earthen building.

"You can stay here. Sakura will stay in the room next door, and my room is across from yours. Just come to me if you need anything," Garyu said to Qiu Xiaoming after settling him into a room.

Chapter 239 Hill Wind Drinking Sand Grass

Qiu Xiaoming stayed in Sunagakure for a few days, but there was nothing to do.

As for Xiaoying, she hasn't appeared in front of Qiu Xiaoming since she went to the Fengying Building last time.

Qiu Xiaoming was not idle either. He spent a thousand points of affection in the room to secretly set up a teleportation anchor point before returning to Konoha Village to accompany Mikoto and play with Kurenai and the others.

Of course, he didn't forget Kushina and the others, and took good care of them.

"Xiao Ming, have you been a little bored lately?" Galuro suddenly asked while eating.

"Uh, no, not really." Qiu Xiaoming waved his hand and said.

“Our Sunagakure village doesn’t have any beautiful scenery or fun things to do. I bet you’re bored because you never even leave the house,” Karyu sighed.

Galuro noticed that Qiu Xiaoming rarely left his bedroom except when he went out to eat.

Sometimes she even skips meals.

"Uh, no, not really." Qiu Xiaoming didn't know how to explain, he had been having a lot of fun with his women these past few days.

"By the way, Aunt Galura, how is Gaara doing?" Qiu Xiaoming didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he changed the subject and asked.

"Sigh~" When Qiu Xiaoming mentioned his son's illness, Galuro sighed again, his face full of worry.

“I don’t know either.” Karyu shook his head and said, “Sakura and the others won’t let me go now, saying they’ve handed it all over to her.”

"Don't worry, Aunt Karyu, Gaara will be fine," Qiu Xiaoming reassured her.

Galuro glanced at Qiu Xiaoming, then sighed and said, "I hope so!"

Although Galyu said this, she was still very worried deep down. So much time had passed and there was still no news. She was really afraid that her son's life had ended.
