The destruction of Uzushiogakure had always been an eternal pain in Kushina's heart.
As the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, she should have lived a carefree life. But because of Uzushiogakure's destruction, she began drifting from place to place at a young age.
If not for that period of displacement, Kushina wouldn't have fallen deeply in love with Minato due to a designed 'hero saves the beauty' scenario.
However, long-held feelings faded after distance.
The truth of the past was also proactively revealed by Hiruzen.
Thus, looking at Minato controlled by Sora, Kushina lost that feeling entirely. She fell into confusion, not knowing what was right or wrong, whether Minato was dead or not.
If Minato was dead, then who was this man before her, looking at her with unfamiliar eyes?
If Minato wasn't dead, then the same question: who was this man before her with unfamiliar eyes?
For Kushina, if the other party didn't love her, then whether he was dead or not seemed very clear.
After understanding this, Kushina once became so desperate she wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, Sora timely conveyed his condition to Kushina.
If she could trade just herself for the return of the entire Uzushiogakure, then Kushina was willing!
And now, standing behind Sora, looking down at the village leaders below staring at her forehead protector with various expressions, Kushina also felt some pride and honor in her heart.
After all, being able to trade herself for the restoration of the entire Uzushiogakure, Kushina felt her life's worth had been achieved. Her personal value was realized. Next was striving for more, to let her clansmen live better.
However, at this moment, Sora, who had just arrived at the venue, didn't know what Kushina was thinking.
"Kushina, you go down first!" Sora said to Kushina: "In this meeting, your identity is the leader of Uzushiogakure!"
"Alright, Sora!" Kushina smiled softly. From her face alone, one couldn't see the former tsundere of the Red Hot Habanero at all.
But this was precisely the current Kushina, tender as water. Due to Sora's dominance, she had early entered Yamato Nadeshiko mode!
Later, her slender waist swaying, Kushina walked down the stage.
Watching her alluring posture, Mei, who had also come along this time, secretly rolled her eyes behind Sora, thinking how could this newcomer be so seductive.
Family, who understands? There are always some lowly maids who, to cling to a man, can even discard their original boyfriend.
And according to Mei's thoughts, Minato was also trash. Being boyfriend and girlfriend for so long, he hadn't even taken her first time.
If only he had taken her first time, this Kushina wouldn't have been noticed by Sora after sharing a delightful night, even threatening their positions!
At the same time, if it were just one Kushina, Mei felt she could still handle it. After all, she also fought her way out among many, with superb combat skills.
But there were more than just one Kushina.
And that Tsunade was also disgusting and shameless… a thirty-four-year-old auntie still pretending to be young.
'Dammit, with such huge excess flesh on her body, and loving to drink, often getting drunk, how come she was never taken home by someone to become a family heirloom?'
'Absurd!'
Mei was annoyed, really annoyed. Although she was currently the main wife, who could say for sure about the future?
'It seemed I still needed to find an opportunity to give birth to a son early… then nothing would be a problem!'
Mei planned.
Meanwhile, after instructing Kushina, Sora also looked at Mei.
"Mei!"
"I'm here, Sora!" In an instant even Sora's strength couldn't react, Mei's face wore a conditioned reflex-like smile!
"Uh..." Looking at Mei like this, Sora was momentarily stunned, feeling something seemed off.
However, specifically what was off, Sora couldn't tell.
"Forget it!" Sora shook his head, no longer concerned about Mei's situation.
"You go down too. Coming this time was just to let you recognize people!"
Sora explained.
"Alright! Sora!" Hearing Sora's words, Mei complied readily.
At the same time, Mei's clever, beautiful eyes scanned the crowd below, suddenly having an idea!
"Then, darling, I'll go down first!"
Suddenly, Mei stood on tiptoe and planted a heavy kiss on Sora's cheek.
And this kiss directly declared the relationship between the two. Looking at the closely related Sora and Mei, the people below had varied expressions.
But this had nothing to do with them!
After also Sora gave Mei a few instructions, Mei walked down the stage.
Standing on the high platform, Sora looked at everyone.
The next second...
Boom—
Vast Reiatsu, like an ocean, surged forth!
Pressure immediately descended upon everyone.
"Do you know who I am?"
