Nojuro Ryun's body trembled. He looked at Yūhi Kurenai before him in disbelief.
What did she just say?
They were only four simple words, but these four words were no less than two thunderclaps.
He could still understand the earlier term "husband" as perhaps meaning that the defenses in Kurenai's heart had finally loosened.
But that name she called afterwards—that was the name of the child he and Kurenai had in the simulation.
How could Kurenai possibly know about what happened in the simulation?
Ryun hadn't even used the Genjutsu Inheritance on Kurenai yet. Could it be because of the chakra connection just now?
In Naruto, a chakra connection could transmit thoughts and feelings; Ryun was very clear on this.
However, only a very few people could do this, or rather, it was limited to jinchūriki and those powerful ninjas. The spiritual power contained within their chakra was already strong and pure enough for this kind of information transmission to occur.
Wait, did Ryun now meet the conditions of having chakra and spirit strong and pure enough?
Although Ryun wanted to modestly say he didn't, it was clearly no longer possible for him to deny it.
His spirit naturally needed no explanation. His spiritual talent had already reached 10, plus so many simulations, and the development and utilization of spiritual secret techniques—he had even developed the ultra S-level True Spirit Seal.
Even if the real Ryun hadn't yet reached the data point of 10, he was probably not far off.
As for chakra volume and its purity, Ryun might still have shortcomings physically.
But with the supplementation of Cellular Activation, although Ryun couldn't reach that monstrous level of physical recovery like the First Hokage, he had already surpassed most people in the ninja world.
So, was the truth just now that he had unintentionally transmitted some fragments from his memory to the Kurenai before him?
Then would Nuo Mi and Karin have a similar experience?
This matter posed no danger to Ryun; on the contrary, it would help stabilize the relationship between Ryun and the girls around him.
Its essence was equivalent to a low-level Genjutsu Inheritance that didn't use simulation attempts. In the future, Ryun could use this method to more easily teach ninjutsu knowledge and combat skills to those around him.
Although the efficiency of doing this would definitely be much lower than using Genjutsu Inheritance, it could save on simulation attempts!
As Ryun continued high-intensity simulations, his stock of simulation attempts was gradually decreasing, and he had to prioritize the issue of obtaining more simulation attempts again.
Any method that could save simulation attempts was naturally a valuable, good method. However, he still needed to do a little experimentation on the specific principles of this method.
Ryun looked at Hinata and Karin, who were still unconscious beside him, and naturally focused his attention on Kurenai.
Kurenai was still in a state of confusion, which made her perfect for this.
Then Ryun took Kurenai's hand, held her in his arms, injected Yang Release and Yin Release chakra into her body, and fused the two with loving spiritual power. Finally, he said gently, "Shinku is asleep, now it's time for the two of us."
"So..."
Just as Ryun's words fell, Kurenai kissed him, seeming even more eager than Ryun himself.
The sound of water gurgled loudly. Ryun untied Kurenai's sash, then merged himself into her.
After a long while, Kurenai gradually fell silent, and Ryun used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send her to her room.
Seeing the scenery around her change, Kurenai was even more convinced this was a dream.
Only a dream could explain all this; otherwise, when did Ryun learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Sleep, just sleep. After waking up tomorrow, everything will be back to normal!
With this mindset, Kurenai slowly closed her eyes. As for the strange sensation in her body, she dismissed it as a bizarre experience in her dream, completely ignoring how, as a Genjutsu expert, she could have such an uncontrollable dream.
Ryun looked somewhat strangely at Kurenai, who was now truly asleep, and shook his head helplessly.
He had originally planned to take Kurenai today, even using some forceful means if necessary.
But he hadn't expected this to happen. He wondered if, under these circumstances, Kurenai counted as willing?
Even if she didn't, he would make her willing.
Then Ryun returned to the bathhouse; he still had to deal with the two girls feigning sleep there.
After Ryun's figure disappeared, the pretending-to-sleep Karin and Hinata secretly opened their eyes.
Then they saw each other's peeking expressions. They were first startled and quickly closed their eyes, but immediately after, the two girls opened their eyes again and secretly looked at each other, finally sharing a knowing, quiet laugh.
"The head of the family is gone. Can we go back to our rooms now?"
Karin asked curiously. Everything that had just happened had a huge impact on her.
After all, she had just arrived at Ryun's home; she never expected to see so many impactful scenes.
But she still tried to maintain a calm expression, pretending not to be too surprised by it all.
Because the person in front of her was Hinata, a girl clearly maintaining a very high level of intimacy with Ryun. She couldn't lose face in front of Hinata.
In terms of being competitive, Karin's temperament was in no way inferior to Sakura's.
"Ah—... um, probably."
Hinata also hurriedly replied, then sat up and looked down at the True Spirit Seal on her stomach.
Hearing from Tenten and the others that Ryun would hold her while she slept tonight, Hinata had already prepared herself.
But in the end, her teacher had attracted him away... Hinata looked at her own figure again; it really wasn't enough yet!
If Tenten, Ino, and Sakura knew the thoughts in her heart at this moment, the three of them would probably faint from anger on the spot.
"By the way, Karin, don't tell anyone about what happened today! Although Kurenai-sensei and Ryun-kun have always liked each other, some people would get angry if they found out."
"Ah, I understand, I understand. There must be people who like the head of the family, and people who like Kurenai-sensei. I've heard of this kind of plot."
Karin put on a forcedly calm demeanor, but as Ryun's figure reappeared, she couldn't remain calm anymore.
She quickly covered her eyes, still thinking about whether to pretend to faint.
Hinata had already fainted in Ryun's arms, but the rapid rise and fall of her chest showed she was pretending.
Ryun poked Hinata's forehead. Hinata murmured softly, then opened her eyes, looking at Ryun with an expectant gaze.
Ryun wouldn't disappoint her either, saying, "Should I carry you to your room?"
"Mm!"
"Karin?"
"Ah, head of the family, I can go back by myself—!"
Before her words faded, she was already in her room with Ryun and Hinata.
"Th-this... what ninjutsu is this?"
Although Karin had just seen Ryun and Kurenai disappear, she thought it was something like the Body Flicker Technique.
But now, she seemed to realize that the head of her family was more powerful than she had imagined.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique, a ninjutsu used by the Fourth Hokage. Maybe you haven't heard of it?"
Ryun thought Karin's knowledge wasn't broad enough, but in the next second, Karin's eyes sparkled as she looked at Ryun, saying, "The head of the family really is the greatest person, even knowing a ninjutsu like this!"
"What I know is far more than you can imagine."
Then Ryun patted Karin's head, saying, "Rest easy. In a while, I'll teach you some combat methods. You'll become stronger in the future."
"Mm."
Karin blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ryun's face, afraid she might get so excited she would cry again.
After Ryun left holding Hinata, Karin looked somewhat reluctantly at the spot where Ryun had just disappeared.
When would she be able to enjoy the same treatment as Nuo Mi?
No, just treatment like Hinata's wasn't enough... she wanted treatment as intimate as Hinata's teacher, Kurenai!
Back with Ryun, he took Hinata to her room.
He had originally planned to take a shower first, having just had a fierce battle with Kurenai.
But Hinata clung to him, refusing to let him leave. No matter what Ryun said, it was useless.
"It's okay, Ryun-kun. I don't mind... I'm afraid that if you leave, you won't come back!"
Hinata said she didn't mind verbally, but her heart was already faintly tinged with a sour taste.
She had agreed to let Kurenai observe all this, but today she was the protagonist. How could she let Kurenai steal this night of peaceful sleep with Ryun?
"Don't worry."
Ryun stopped insisting and lay down holding Hinata, his forehead touching hers, saying, "Tonight, we'll be together all night, because I still have so, so much to teach you."
