Hokage Master

Chapter 432: Master Takes Everything

Once Shizune found out that another woman was pregnant by her adored Master, she couldn't remain calm anymore.

That is why I could not resist the cold mockery:

"Ino, you know what he is, so why this stupid jealousy? It's worth getting used to the fact that you are not the only one so "special". You're not the first to get pregnant by him, and definitely not the last...

"Wh-what did you say?! Ino was fuming again!

- Stop making a fool out of yourself! Shizune raised her voice in annoyance, "Pregnant, so what?" Temari too, but unlike you, she is ready to admit her position. I don't get it, what are you expecting? Shizune finally stopped being polite to that insolent 'guest':

- Realize it already ... Whether you are pregnant or not, we are all in the same boat here, and the sooner you understand this, the easier it will be for all of us.

"What..." Ino frowned. Her outrage was beyond words! Discontent and resentment did not allow her to think normally:

- What are you talking about ... Why this nonsense?

She really did not understand, because she did not come here for moralizing and stupid chatter - she came to tell him, and finally get a well-deserved affection. Other people's problems did not bother her at all!

Behind her selfishness, Ino did not notice the interests of others, which is why she angered Shizune. Not only arrogant, but also greedy, besides, so bitchy ... It was not for nothing that they quarreled at the first meeting, and here again ...

Only the Master could draw a line between them, otherwise...

"Haa…" Shizune pulled herself together, pulled off her glasses and let out a weary breath.

- Enough. I no longer intend to waste my nerves on your tantrums ... Accept the fact that he is not only yours. You were even lucky... I was able to get pregnant. Rejoice at least for this. Someone still hasn't succeeded…" Having said this, she lowered her annoyed gaze to the blonde's stomach. Her tone was filled with impatience and envy:

"But do not think that this is a reason to disturb the Master at such an important moment. You are not the only one who wants something - we all want to be with him. Once he decides, you get yours. But don't you dare come here and take it out on me! I'm not running here at the very last moment ... He has been here for so many days, but where have you been all this time?

Ino's face changed dramatically. She understood the meaning of these words... They also made her feel guilty!

- What do you know...

Shizune narrowed her eyes with a sneer.

Are you saying I'm wrong? You know how things work, so why the hell do you keep pretending to be a fool? If you really want to be with him, do something for this! - the kunoichi spoke sharply, continuing to put her opponent in her place:

"Hmm… All such unhappiness, sitting alone and waiting for something… Don't be deceived! You and I are easy to replace, so if we don't push harder, we won't have anything left! Hmph!

Shizune herself didn't know why she had told her all this... It had been accumulating for too long - the main worry in her life. That's why she made all this fight...

"I... Y-you...

Ino couldn't answer that. Nothing came to mind... She just stood there and stared blankly at Shizune's face. It was like being doused with cold water, once again...

"I…" she was both indignant and saddened.

How did it turn out like this?!

After all, it was he who changed her life! It was he who stole it... Showed the new world. Changed her very essence. He sought her, and now... Now she is obliged to prove her devotion and love?!

"W-why..."

It was only now that Ino truly realized what had been bothering her for so long. All this time she continued to deceive herself. Arriving in her illusory world, trying not to think about his wife and the forbiddenness of this relationship, she thought only of herself ... Shizune's words finally completely opened her eyes.

She really isn't special... Easily interchangeable. Just another girl in his path...

"How so..."

If nothing is done, he really can leave her! And, knowing him, Ino was afraid that he would easily do it, and not even be upset!

The girl's eyes sparkled with tears.

"B-but… How is it…"

She always knew it... Always. But she didn't want to admit it... And that's exactly how he appeared before her. He just played, got his own, seduced and used ... Naruto did not stop there, and she had long realized that his interest in her began to fade. The more she thought about it, the worse she got. Shizune's words were a real slap in the face. Now her world, in which she lived with him, ignoring everyone, completely collapsed.

Ino was one of those who believed and hoped, occasionally plucking up the courage to take a step. She could be understood, because Naruto is not a free man and not her husband, therefore, in order not to suffer even more, she deceived herself, considering this a small affair on the side. But, today, having learned about the pregnancy and faced with reality, she is fully aware of all her feelings.

The only way to be with him, to get his attention, his love, is to boldly follow him and become better. All she could do to keep from being left behind was to be determined and strong.

Shizune did not smile, her voice was still cold and slightly sympathetic:

"Now do you understand?" Nobody will decide for you. He may or may not come, but it's not for you to choose. The owner always gets whatever he wants, - the kunoichi's tone became confident and even threatening:

"Be that as it may, I am ready to follow him anywhere, and I will do whatever he asks. I will never back down! The question is, are you ready to become part of the "family"? Do you have the courage to drop yours and plunge into this struggle with your head?

After all that was said, Shizune's gaze softened. She saw the confusion on the face of her rival and behaved as befits the most faithful servant:

"Well... It's not that bad. You can't be upset. You are pregnant - it adds points to you. Plus, you're young and beautiful...

If Shizune was a selfish bitch and only cared about herself, then she definitely wouldn't say things like that. But, in this she differed from many others, because first of all she was concerned about the well-being of the Master. Even if it could harm and threaten her, she still continued:

"I will only say this once, Ino… You need to learn patience and humility. If you think only of yourself, he will surely prefer someone else to you. Maybe even Sakura...
