Kushina glared at Hayato Ren and said irritably:
"Shut up, your mouth can't utter anything decent."
With a "click," the lock opened—Kushina's skills were quite impressive. In just a few minutes, the previously tightly shut door swung open.
Even if she didn't become a Ninja in the future, she could make a living as a Locksmith.
After opening the door, Kushina strode in first.
Since the sun was nearly set, the unlit room was particularly dark.
Just as Kushina was fumbling along the wall, trying to find the light switch,
the room suddenly lit up, and a shower of confetti fell from above.
Kushina was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth with her hand, her face lighting up with surprise.
"No wonder you all were acting so strange today—you were waiting here for me all along. This is amazing!"
Mikoto and Konan put down the confetti poppers in their hands and shouted in unison:
"Happy birthday, Kushina (sis)!"
Kushina had originally thought her birthday had been forgotten, but it turned out everyone remembered—they just wanted to surprise her.
Her previously gloomy mood instantly brightened.
So, Kushina stepped forward and hugged both Mikoto and Konan.
"Thank you, I'm so happy."
At that moment, Hayato Ren came out carrying a two-tiered cake.
"How could I forget the birthday of the cutest Kushina in the world? I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Kushina let go of Mikoto and Konan, then leaped onto Hayato Ren, leaving a wet mark on his cheek.
Seeing this, Mikoto couldn't help but rub her arms.
"Ugh, what a mushy couple—it's horrifying. Poor Konan, having to endure their lovey-dovey antics every day at home."
Hearing this, a faint blush appeared on Konan's face, and she replied softly:
"It's... not that bad..."
Afterward, Hayato Ren and the other two presented their gifts to Kushina.
Once they finished the cake and played a round of tabletop games, Mikoto bid farewell despite Kushina's reluctant attempts to keep her.
Konan, after taking a bath, also returned to her room to sleep—after all, she had school the next day.
Thus, only Hayato Ren and Kushina remained in the entire room.
Gazing at Kushina's flushed face, Hayato Ren lightly licked his upper lip and flashed a slightly roguish smile.
Under his intense stare, Kushina gave him a light tap.
"What's with that expression? It looks so weird. Alright, move aside—I'm going to take a bath."
After saying this, Kushina tried to bypass Hayato Ren and head towards the bathroom.
However, just as she passed by Hayato Ren, her body suddenly lost control and fell toward the bed.
Looking down at Kushina beneath him, Hayato Ren said in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"Kushina, do you know how long I've waited for this day? Give yourself to me."
Kushina didn't answer. Her cheeks, already slightly flushed, immediately turned bright red, just like her vibrant red hair.
Some things don't need to be answered with words - the blush on a young girl's face is the best response.
Then, Hayato Ren lowered his head.
After a period of kissing, Kushina looked at Hayato Ren's face so close to hers and whispered shyly:
"Let me go take a bath first..."
Hayato Ren buried his face in Kushina's neck and took a deep breath, showing an intoxicated expression.
"No need for a bath. Our Kushina is always fragrant no matter what. Besides, even if you bathe now, you'll need another one later - what a waste of water."
Then, with a surprised exclamation from Kushina, an extraordinary duel began.
....
Early the next morning, Hayato Ren slowly opened his eyes.
Kushina, meanwhile, lay naked on top of him like a cat.
Looking at Kushina still in her dreams, Hayato Ren couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
Last night, he had finally taken the final step with Kushina.
From now on, Kushina completely belonged to him.
Just as Hayato Ren was admiring Kushina's lovely face, she slowly opened her eyes as well.
The newly awakened Kushina still had a dazed expression in her eyes, as if she didn't quite understand what had happened.
After a moment, Kushina finally became fully awake, and immediately gave Hayato Ren a slap.
"You big jerk, you went too far. How dare you do that kind of thing to me. If you dare abandon me, I'll first confiscate your offending tool, then preserve you in formalin so you can stay with me forever."
Hearing this, Hayato Ren suddenly felt a chill between his legs. He never realized before that Kushina had the potential to become a yandere.
So, Hayato Ren reached out and tightly embraced Kushina, gently assuring her:
"Silly girl, how could I ever abandon you? Even in our next life, we'll still be husband and wife."
However, Hayato Ren's sweet words didn't fool Kushina, who suddenly said quietly:
"What about Tsunade-sensei, Mikoto, and Konan then?"
Immediately, cold sweat appeared on Hayato Ren's forehead.
"Let's leave Tsunade-sensei aside for now, but what's this about Konan and Mikoto? Other than you and sensei, I haven't messed around with anyone else."
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. The way that little girl Konan looks at you has been getting more and more strange lately."
"Why are you getting jealous over a child like Konan? Anyway, I'm only interested in you and Tsunade-sensei. What matters most is that the three of us live well together in the future."
Hearing this, Kushina looked at Hayato Ren with disbelief.
However, after a long while, she couldn't detect any flaws in his expression.
At that moment, Hayato Ren's mischievous hands suddenly began wandering restlessly across Kushina's smooth, beautiful back.
"Since we still have time, how about we do some morning exercises?"
"No, if Konan finds out, how could I ever face anyone again?"
"It's fine. At this hour, Konan has long since gone to the Ninja Academy."
After saying this, Hayato Ren covered Kushina's lips with his own...
