Tsunade, Mikoto, and Konan returned ho—but Shin and Kushina weren't in the living room, which Tsunade and Mikoto had expected.
"Did Shin go out with Kushina?" i Terumī couldn't help but ask.
"No. Go listen at his door, and you'll know," Tsunade said to i Terumī.
i Terumī did as she was told, and as she reached the door. she could faintly hear… certain sounds.
*Pah* *Pah* *Pah*
Imdiately, i Terumī's face turned bright red. She stamred indignantly, "It's still dayti!!"
Although it was evening, the sun hadn't completely set yet. To be doing 'That' kind of shaless thing at this hour… i Terumī, completely flustered, ran away.
Konan, who had been curious, decided against going over. Seeing i Terumī's reaction, she cleverly guessed what was happening.
"Mikoto-nee, let's go prepare dinner," Konan said, her own cheeks slightly pink, pulling Mikoto towards the kitchen.
——
After Mikoto finished cooking, Shin finally erged from the room, supporting Kushina alongside him.
As for why he needed to support Kushina—naturally, it was because she was completely drained and her legs were weak. She couldn't even stand steadily without his help.
Seeing Kushina in this state, Tsunade and the others shot them strange looks, making even the normally thick-skinned Kushina feel embarrassed.
While Kushina had a straightforward personality, so things were still embarrassing, and this was definitely one of them.
"What are you looking at?"
Kushina put on a fierce expression, glaring cutely at Mikoto and the others.
"Well, well, acting all tough now, are we?"
Tsunade approached Kushina with a mischievous smile, playfully poking her cheek with a slender finger.
"Damn it! You're going too far!"
Kushina, seeing Tsunade taking advantage of her weakness, beca furious and tried to bite Tsunade's finger.
However, being too weak, her movents were slow, and she couldn't reach Tsunade. She could only glare helplessly.
"Just wait until I recover! I'll make you pay!" Kushina declared loudly.
"After you recover? You have to recover first. Right now, I can bully you however I want."
Tsunade chuckled, pinching Kushina's cheek.
"So annoying!"
Kushina looked at Tsunade teasing her, getting angrier by the second. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Well, maybe when she was little, Tsunade had bullied her, but that was then. Back then, she didn't have the strength to resist. Now that she was as strong as Tsunade, she naturally wouldn't tolerate being bullied again.
"I just love seeing you angry."
Tsunade thought this was a perfect opportunity to tease Kushina properly, to stop her from constantly opposing her.
Kushina took a deep breath, calming herself. She knew getting angry was pointless; it would only make this Cougar happier.
"Shin, you saw that, right? This old woman, Tsunade, is bullying right in front of you!" Kushina decided appealing to Shin was her only option now.
"O-Old woman?"
Tsunade's face turned dark. Kushina actually dared to say that? Instantly, the imnse chakra hidden within Tsunade surged forth.
Even though she didn't have to worry about lifespan issues anymore—being immortal and eternally youthful—won still cared deeply about such things.
Seeing Tsunade get angry, Kushina felt a secret thrill. 'Serves you right for bullying .' Now it was her turn to strike back.
"Aren't you? Aren't you an old woman? Oh, right, let count how many years older you are than . I wonder if ten fingers are enough."
Kushina glanced provocatively at Tsunade, a smile returning to her previously annoyed face.
"Sit down and eat. If you don't eat soon, i will finish everything."
Shin interrupted Kushina and Tsunade. Knowing them, they would argue endlessly otherwise.
"Finish everything? I don't have that kind of appetite," i Terumī muttered, pouting.
Her appetite wasn't that large. Mikoto and Konan had prepared plenty of food; i felt even ten of her couldn't finish it all.
"No one asked you." Shin said, glaring at i Terumī.
"...." i Terumī shot Shin a resentful look, but perhaps because she was used to being bullied, she didn't make a fuss or demand retribution.
"I'll let you off this ti." Tsunade huffed lightly at Kushina.
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
Kushina remained defiant. Tsunade had pinched her cheek earlier; Kushina, who hated losing, decided she'd find a chance to pinch her back.
"Hurry up and sit down."
Shin poked Kushina's puffed-out cheek, then guided her to a chair.
"Shin, feed ." Kushina opened her mouth, looking expectantly at Shin.
"Can't you eat by yourself?" Shin asked, exasperated.
"Actually, I can't."
Kushina's hand trembled as she tried to hold her chopsticks; she couldn't even pick up food properly.
At this mont, Mikoto looked at Kushina with sympathy.
"You've had it rough, Kushina." Mikoto patted Kushina's shoulder, looking at her pitifully.
"Fine, I'll feed you."
Shin picked up so food with his chopsticks and brought it to Kushina's lips. Kushina ate happily, then shot a provocative glance at Tsunade, who was sitting opposite her.
Tsunade gritted her teeth.
If it weren't for Kushina's provocative look, Tsunade wouldn't have thought much of it. But now, she was 100% certain.
Kushina definitely wasn't so weak she couldn't even eat. She was faking it, just to make Shin feed her. What a scher!
'Maybe I should try that soti.' Tsunade had never experienced Shin feeding her.
Seeing Kushina's blissful expression, Tsunade felt a pang of jealousy. The delicious food suddenly didn't taste as good.
It wasn't just Tsunade; Mikoto, Konan, and i Terumī also felt their appetites diminish slightly.
Kushina's move was a massive 'Critical AOE Hit'—affecting everyone. It was like she'd unleashed a map-wide attack.
However, Kushina hadn't realized it yet. If she had, she'd probably be even happier—perhaps even flaunting it more enthusiastically.
