"How did you do that?" Kushina's face showed shock.
"It's just a Lightning Release jutsu..." Uchiha Ryun said casually with a smile.
"So amazing! You've already learned so many jutsu! I want to learn powerful jutsu too, teach me..."
Kushina's eyes sparkled with admiration.
Women naturally admire strength, and she was no exception.
"Hmm... I'll teach you 'tree-walking' first!" After thinking for a moment, Ryun decided to start with the basics—teaching her chakra control.
"But... you're wearing a skirt today, so it might be inconvenient to move around..." Ryun pointed at her pretty dress and frowned slightly.
"Ah... then forget it. I'll change into casual clothes tomorrow." Kushina wasn't in a hurry.
"Do you want to learn sealing jutsu? I came prepared today, you know?"
Kushina took out two small scrolls tied to her waist.
"Yes, yes, I want to learn!" Ryun nodded eagerly, his face full of excitement.
Sealing jutsu in the original anime was practically a cheat-like ability. These techniques were mysterious and defied common logic, capable of sealing almost anything or anyone.
In the ninja world, no matter how strong you were—even if you were the Ten-Tails or the progenitor of chakra—sealing jutsu could subdue you completely.
Ryun had always coveted the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques. From the day he transmigrated, he had been eyeing them... Kushina was his only and most reliable path to learning them.
"Call me 'Grandma,' and I'll teach you sealing jutsu..."
The Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques were a closely guarded secret. Kushina felt she couldn't just teach him without any conditions—that would be letting him off too easily...
"!!!"
Ryun was stunned for a moment, then a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he stepped closer to Kushina.
"Y-you... what are you doing?"
Seeing Ryun approach, Kushina panicked and backed away.
But soon, she realized her back had hit a tree trunk—there was nowhere left to retreat!
Ryun placed his hands on either side of her, trapping her in place. Though he hadn't done anything yet, Kushina couldn't meet his gaze, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Nana... if you want to play like this, then tomorrow when it's my turn to teach you, don't blame me for making you... call me Daddy..."
Ryun whispered by her ear, the faint fragrance from her body invigorating him. He couldn't help but take a deep breath...
"Pervert! You disgusting creep!!!"
Kushina's face turned bright red. She tried to push Ryun away, but as soon as she tried, she realized she couldn't move him...
Ryun had clearly prepared for this. His hands were attached to the tree trunk with chakra, and his feet were fixed to the ground. At her current level, Kushina had no chance of budging him.
"Heh... Nana, what are your hands doing? Who's the real pervert here?"
Looking at the delicate hands pressed against his chest, Ryun smirked teasingly.
"I'm not, I didn't! Get away from me!!"
Kushina flustered, unsure whether to keep her hands there or pull them away.
'Mm??'
Kushina had been considering whether to kick this creep away, but the strange sensation from her right hand made her pause.
'So this guy is just pretending to be calm!'
She realized Ryun's heartbeat was just as frantic as hers. He might even be more nervous than she was...
Discovering this secret, Kushina's confidence surged, and her shyness and fear faded by seventy or eighty percent.
"Didn't you want me to call you 'Grandma'? If I don't get close, how will you hear me clearly?"
Ryun still wore that mischievous expression.
"Oh? Really? Then say it... I'm listening!"
Kushina suddenly grinned at him, the redness on her face fading slightly.
"???"
Ryun's smile froze.
'This girl isn't following the script...'
Seeing his surprised look, Kushina became even more certain of her guess, her smile widening.
"Heh... say it, why aren't you saying it? Not close enough yet?"
Kushina leaned in even closer, their faces almost touching!
"!!!"
Ryun was caught off guard, his pupils shrinking slightly, his heartbeat speeding up even more.
Kushina, sensing all this, felt triumphant, thinking she had turned the tables and was about to take control...
"Are you really... not afraid of me..."
Ryun's dark eyes stared intently at Kushina, his cheeks unconsciously reddening...
Kushina gulped nervously. She felt stuck—they were way too close. She had assumed Ryun would back off, but he hadn't...
"Hmm?"
Ryun hummed softly, his gaze drifting down to her rosy lips.
Kushina's mind was in chaos, desperately trying to figure out how to respond.
'Wh-what's he doing? Is... is he going to kiss me? What should I do?'
As Kushina hesitated whether to dodge, Ryun tilted his head, closing the already intimate distance even further.
They could even feel each other's breath!
Ryun inched closer, and Kushina instinctively leaned back, but with her back against the tree, where could her head go?
"No!"
Kushina turned her face away in fright, her eyes tightly shut.
"Weren't you so bold earlier? Why are you scared now?"
Ryun whispered by her ear, his warm breath making Kushina break out in a sweat, stirring a strange, unfamiliar feeling inside her.
"Has anyone ever told you... how cute you look when you blush..."
These words exploded in Kushina's mind like a thunderclap. Her eyes widened in shock.
"Has anyone ever told you... how beautiful your red hair is..."
Another whisper, and Kushina's pupils shrank to pinpricks, her mind echoing these mesmerizing words.
"What I want to tell you is..."
Before Ryun could finish, his nose brushed against her ear.
"I lo—"
The hands on his chest suddenly went limp. Kushina's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed unconscious...
"!!!"
Ryun quickly caught her, only to find she had completely passed out...
Her heart had pumped too hard, sending blood rushing to her head and knocking her out.
"I went too far..."
Ryun couldn't help but laugh wryly.
The usually bold Kushina had fainted from shyness, just like Hyūga Hinata... This was something he hadn't expected.
But thinking back, his "attack" had been too intense. A young girl being teased like that for the first time—it was natural for her to be overwhelmed.
Letting her lean against the tree, Ryun picked up the scrolls from the ground and began reading with great interest.
Without his hands supporting her, the unconscious Kushina slumped to the side.
