Chapter 94 - Into The Konoha
We passed through the gates of Konoha without drawing unnecessary attention and headed straight for the Uzumaki household instead of the Hokage building.
Karin was still fragile, both physically and emotionally. Meeting another living Uzumaki first would cheer her up and loosen her mood.
We finally arrived at Kushina's house.
Knock…!
Knock…!
The door slid open almost immediately.
Kushina was standing in a loose indoor yukata while her crimson hair was flowing over her shoulders. The moment she saw me, her face lit up with genuine delight.
"Alex! You're back… Where have you gone? I could not find you at the massage shop."
I could practically feel that she was going to pounce me behind that bright smile. It was the same face when she got "massage" sessions.
For a second I thought she was going to lower my pant and suck my dick. But she stopped when she saw two women with me.
"Sister Tsunade? And… who's the girl?"
Tsunade gave a small nod of greeting. She was getting uncomfortable while keeping every drop of my cum locked inside her pussy through the entire long journey, but like a qualified ninja, she showed nothing on her face.
Meanwhile, Karin was staring at Kushina's identical bright red hair.
"Come inside first," I said. "We'll explain."
Kushina stepped aside at once. There was curiosity on her face as we entered the living room. Kushina quickly brought out cushions and a pot of tea while Karin sat stiffly and looking around the house.
Once everyone was settled, I spoke.
"Kushina, this is Karin Uzumaki. We found her in Kusagakure. The Grass-ninjas were using her as a living medical resource. Her mother didn't survive it. Tsunade and I were gone to rescue her."
Kushina's expression hardened, then softened with pure empathy as she looked at the younger girl.
"Karin," I continued while turning to the red-haired girl, "this is Kushina Uzumaki. She's the other member of the clan I told you about."
Karin's eyes were wide behind her glasses. She stared at Kushina's hair, then at her own, then back again.
"…You're really an Uzumaki too?"
Kushina smiled with a warm smile and reached out to gently ruffle Karin's hair.
"Yes. We both are Uzumaki. And you can call me older sister."
Karin's lip trembled when she heard that. For the first time since we had left the Grass Village, the last of her tension cracked. She didn't cry openly, but the relief on her face was clear.
Tsunade watched the exchange in silence, one hand resting lightly against her lower abdomen. The plug was still doing its job. The serious rescue was complete… but she needed to solve her private problem.
…
…
The atmosphere had become somewhat comfortable.
We were sitting on a sofa while drinking the tea.
I was telling Kushina about the mission. I was telling her how the Grass-nin had used Karin's mother as a living medical resource, forcing her to heal them by biting until her body could no longer regenerate, and how Karin had been made to watch and then take her mother's place.
Kushina listened in silence at first. Then her red chakra flared. There was even the hint of Nine-Tail chakra.
The long crimson hair around her shoulders began to lift and float as if stirred by an invisible wind. The air in the room grew heavier. And her eyes were burning with pure rage.
"Those bastards…" she growled with a dangerous voice. "They treated an Uzumaki like a tool. Like something disposable. I'll go to Kusagakure myself. I'll level the whole damn village and kill every one of them."
It was not an empty threat. Although she was not the jinchūriki, I had sealed a considerable amount of Nine-Tails's chakra inside her body. And as for her talent and Uzumaki bloodline, Kushina's was at least mid-kage level.
If she decided to march on the Grass Village, she could indeed destroy it completely.
Tsunade remained quiet. It was not like she did not wanted to say anything. She was trying her best to keep the pussy plug in place.
Karin was the one who stopped her.
"No," she said in her firm voice. "Please don't. I… I want to get stronger first. Strong enough that when I go back, I'm the one who makes them pay for what they did to my mother. I don't want someone else to do it for me. I want to take my own revenge!!"
Kushina's floating hair slowly settled down. The murderous chakra was replaced by a softer chakra. It was like she was trying to be a responsible older sister.
She moved closer to Karin and pulled her into an embrace.
"Okay… Okay. We'll do it your way. I'll help you get strong. Sister Tsunade and Alex will help too. When the time comes, you'll be the one who settles it. I promise."
Kushina then gently stroked her hair like a protective older sister.
"You're not alone anymore. I am your sister."
'Damn! Kushina really knows how to comfort others.'
I watched the two red-haired women with smiles.
….
….
The sad story was finished.
Now, Kushina was telling stories of Uzushiogakure. She was also talking about her grandmother Mito and the legacy she had left in the form of the seals and the various training methods of bloodline, like Adamantine Sealing Chains and Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
Karin was also asking questions and gradually began to answer some of her own.
Tsunade was also adding what she knew of the Senju-Uzumaki ties and the jutsu, like Strength of a Hundred Seal.
By the time the conversation finally slowed down, more than five hours had passed. I was hungry, as it was time for lunch.
I shifted closer to Tsunade on the pretext of refilling her tea. Under the cover of the quiet conversation, I leaned in just enough for only her to hear.
"You've been carrying that load all day," I murmured against her ear. "Don't take the plug out yet. Keep it in. I'll reward you properly later."
"Hmmm…♥"
Tsunade gave the smallest of nods.
I then looked at the other two women and said, "We've all had a long day. How about lunch? Let's go to the Akimichi restaurant to have a nice meal. My treat!"
Kushina's face brightened immediately.
"Now you're talking. I'm starving, and Karin looks like she hasn't had a decent meal in months."
Karin glanced up. Her eyes were still red with crying, but she was also clearly interested.
"Is the food… really good?"
Tsunade managed a small smirk despite the private heat still lingering in her expression.
"The best in Konoha. And if Alex is paying, we order without holding back."
Everyone got to their feet with a sudden energy that had been missing during the heavier conversation.
We all left the house and went toward the Akimichi barbecue restaurant.
Karin was walking between Kushina and Tsunade while listening to their casual comments about the village and the food ahead.
I was walking a half-step behind them while looking at their jiggling fat asses.
