What am I going to do with this little rascal in the future…
Kushina looked at Kaien, who was sleeping beside her, and sighed inwardly, feeling completely at a loss.
"Sigh…"
Her small hand gently brushed across Kaien's cheek, her expression complicated.
"Mother!"
Kaien was awakened by her touch. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at her blankly.
"Uh… you're awake," Kushina withdrew her hand awkwardly, her cheeks flushing.
Kaien didn't hesitate at all. He leaned in and kissed Kushina's red lips.
"Mm…!"
Kushina let out a soft hum as her eyes slowly closed.
Even though she had been kissed countless times by Kaien last night, when he kissed her again, she still felt that lingering reluctance and desire.
After a long while, the two finally separated.
Kaien licked his lips and said with lingering lust, "Mother, you taste so good. From now on, I'm going to kiss you a hundred times every day!"
"Pah! Dream on," Kushina glared at him.
"I really shouldn't have adopted you in the first place," she muttered resentfully.
"Hehe, Mother, are you regretting it because of our identities, and that's why you can't accept our relationship?" Kaien leaned closer with a mischievous grin.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! That's not it at all!"
Kushina's face flushed as she retorted quickly, but the panic and nervousness in her tone were obvious.
"Oh? Then why is it, Mother?" Kaien asked, pretending to be confused.
"You…!"
Just then—
Ring, ring, ring.
Kaien's phone suddenly rang.
"Shh. It's Brother Naruto calling," Kaien glanced at the caller ID, made a quiet gesture to Kushina, and answered.
"Hello?"
"Kaien, where are you?" Naruto asked urgently.
"I'm at home," Kaien replied, glancing at Kushina beside him.
"Come to the Hokage Building immediately. We've found a way to go to the moon!" Naruto said in a hurry.
"Huh?! Really? That's great!" Kaien was startled, then shouted excitedly. "Wait for me—I'm coming right now!"
There were only thirty-one hours left before Hinata's rescue. Time was extremely tight.
"Mm."
Kaien hung up and immediately began putting on his clothes.
"There's news about Hinata?" Kushina frowned and asked from the bed.
"Mm," Kaien nodded.
"What did Naruto call you for? Are you going with them?" Kushina asked again.
"Yes…"
"No! You can't go!" Kushina immediately stopped him.
"Why, Mother? My sister-in-law is in serious danger. I have to go save her," Kaien asked, confused.
"What strength do you have right now? At best, you're just a Chunin—not even Special Jonin level. Why go? To die?" Kushina glared at him.
"If Hinata is in danger, Naruto is there. His strength has already reached the Six Paths level. He won't have a problem. And if he can't do it, what use are you? Going just to die?" Kushina demanded sharply.
This world had a strict hierarchy of strength: Ninja Academy, Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Anbu, Elite Jonin, Kage, Super Kage—and then Naruto and Sasuke's Six Paths level.
"I must go!" Kaien clenched his teeth and said firmly.
Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that a mere Chunin could fight a Six Paths-level enemy.
But he felt this was his opportunity. That was why he had saved his gacha draws. What if he pulled something crucial at the critical moment?
And more importantly—
His system was a variable.
A variable that Ōtsutsuki Toneri didn't know existed.
"You… you're really determined to go?" Kushina stared at him seriously.
"Yes!" Kaien nodded without hesitation.
Kushina took a deep breath, staring straight at him.
"As long as you don't go… I'll give myself to you right now!"
She didn't know why, but the moment she heard Kaien was going to the moon, a strong sense of unease surged in her heart—like something irreversible would happen if he left.
To stop him, this was the only choice she could make.
Even though it was unbearably embarrassing… it was the only way.
Kaien froze.
He stared at Kushina in shock, his heart pounding violently.
"Mother…"
Not only was Kaien's heart racing, but Kushina's heart was also thundering. Her breathing quickened, her cheeks flushed, and her gaze shifted nervously.
"As long as you don't go… you… you can have me right now…"
Kushina bit her lip and forced herself to say it.
Hearing her words, Kaien was deeply tempted.
Naruto should be able to handle it, right?
With his strength, he should be able to rescue Hinata…
In the original events, Naruto did save her.
I could just stay home… be with Mother… and wait for their return…
"I…" Kaien clenched his teeth and finally said firmly, "Mother, I must go!"
Kushina stared at him in disbelief. She never expected that even this condition wouldn't stop him.
"Mother, I have a feeling that if I don't go this time, not only will my sister-in-law be in danger, but brother Naruto will be too," Kaien said seriously.
"But if Naruto is in danger, what help can you be?" Kushina asked worriedly.
"I know my strength is insignificant," Kaien admitted.
"But I believe there will always be a way for me to help. Maybe because I'm weak, the enemy won't take me seriously—and that's exactly how I can help brother Naruto in small ways."
"You…!" Kushina lightly knocked Kaien on the head.
"Fine. Since you insist on going, I can't stop you."
After a pause, she looked up at him and said softly,
"You must promise me—no matter what, you will come back safe."
Kaien's eyes lit up. "Mother, if I come back safely… will you give me—"
"Get lost." Kushina glared at him fiercely and snapped.
"This village won't have another shop once this one closes. Don't even think about it!"
