Namikaze Minato interrupted Kushina's words and then continued, "I don't feel any regrets. As long as I see you're okay and Naruto grows up safe and sound, I'm already very satisfied."
"Minato..."
Kushina lowered her head, feeling so troubled that she didn't know what to say. She thought silently to herself that it was her fault she couldn't muster the courage to speak out to Minato...
"Let's not talk about this. Kushina, I'm going to check on Naruto and later I have to deliver some intel."
Namikaze Minato quickly said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Kushina also lifted her head and forced a smile at Namikaze Minato, saying, "Okay, you go ahead. I'll stay inside. Otherwise, Naruto will hide behind me again."
"Hahaha, I will definitely make Naruto acknowledge me as his father."
After saying that, Namikaze Minato left the room to find Naruto, while Kushina stayed inside, silently pinching her fingers.
She felt extremely conflicted, sometimes wanting to immediately confess everything to Namikaze Minato to bring him back to life completely; but then she also remembered the child in her belly and dismissed the idea.
After an unknown amount of time, Kushina suddenly felt an arm wrap around her shoulder, so she instinctively said, "Minato, you're back... why is it you?"
Seeing that it was Uchiha Yoichi, Kushina immediately panicked and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Minato is still..."
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "How long have you been daydreaming here? Namikaze Minato has already left, and Naruto went to play with Sasuke."
"What, Minato left?"
Kushina was startled upon hearing this, then thought carefully for a moment. It seemed Minato came in to greet her, but she forgot how she replied. Naruto seemed to have said something too, but she didn't notice at all.
But Kushina's face remained hard as she said, "Even if Minato left, you can't just come in here at will. He's already back now..."
"I just want to know your decision. After meeting Namikaze Minato, you should have made up your mind, right, Kushina?"
Uchiha Yoichi didn't care about Kushina's stubbornness. The sheets drying on the balcony were still trophies of his conquest, so he asked indifferently, "Kushina, you should have a plan in mind now. What are you going to do?"
"This has nothing to do with you!"
Kushina said in shame and anger, then stood up to pull Uchiha Yoichi's arm, saying, "Leave here immediately and don't come looking for me recently!"
"That won't do, Kushina. I probably guessed your decision."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi immediately smiled, then pulled Kushina over and pressed her onto the bed, continuing, "Not only did I guess your decision, but I also know you're very agitated. Let me help you get rid of this annoyance."
After saying this, amid Kushina's surprised gaze, her mouth was immediately covered.
"No, uu~... let, let me go..."
"Not now, not now..."
Kushina kept struggling, but Uchiha Yoichi reminded her, "Your voice, Kushina. If you don't cast a barrier, the sound will spread outside very soon..."
"You bastard... not today at least!"
Kushina's face was full of humiliation and anger, but she was still afraid of being discovered by others, so she used a barrier to enclose the bedroom.
However, just as she finished the Barrier Jutsu, her hands were restrained by Uchiha Yoichi's Chakra Control.
Extra clothes were thrown piece by piece onto the floor.
"Mmm..."
