ALL NOVEL Chapter 285: Chapter 285
"Has Minato left?"
After using the Flying Thunder God technique to reach Kushina's room, Yoichi saw the fragments of Edo Tensei bodies and White Zetsu on the ground. He immediately used senjutsu to clean them up.
When the ethereal white light soared into the sky, many people saw it, but Yoichi was the most attuned to it, so he came here.
Kushina showed no reaction to Yoichi's actions. She felt miserable, having been wrong from the beginning until now.
"Wasn't this the decision you made earlier? If he had stayed longer, you would have only felt more troubled. Besides, an Edo Tensei body and a living person can never coexist for long. Eventually, both you and Minato would find it unbearable," Yoichi said as he sat next to Kushina, gently pulling her into his arms.
Although it seemed immoral to act like this just after her husband had left, worse things had already happened. For the sake of comforting Kushina, morality didn't matter anymore.
"Why do you say that? I should have been with Minato..."
Kushina stopped midway through her sentence. Minato had died on a mission, and no matter what, she could never live peacefully with him unless she could foresee the future and stop him from taking that mission.
"It's all because of you. You forced me..." Before Kushina could finish her sentence, Yoichi silenced her with a kiss.
"Let go of me, you bastard!"
"Go away!"
But soon enough, Kushina, with her face flushed, found herself completely under Yoichi's control.
"You've already betrayed your husband so many times. What does resisting now even mean?" Yoichi's words completely shattered the last bit of resolve Kushina had. Having betrayed her husband so many times, and now carrying this man's child, she had lost the right to hold onto her principles.
"I'm sorry, Minato..." Tears streamed down Kushina's face as she abandoned herself to despair.
Before long, her body, having received Yoichi's life energy for so long, was almost fully rejuvenated. Her youthful energy had returned, and though her belly showed a slight curve, only when touched could one feel the faint stirrings of life within.
Kushina reached out, wrapping her arms around Yoichi's neck. Tears trickled down her face as she seemed to make up her mind. "Help me forget Minato."
"Don't worry, Kushina." It wasn't until the early morning light began to filter through the windows...
"Kushina, do you still think about Minato?"
Throughout the night, Yoichi asked this question nearly every hour. At first, Kushina furrowed her brows, refusing to answer. Yoichi knew that she still held onto memories of him.
Kushina then started to beg, but Yoichi ignored her. After her pleas failed, she even tried to act spoiled, but none of it worked.
It wasn't until Kushina finally cried out, "I don't want to think about Minato anymore! I don't want to think about him!" that Yoichi allowed her to rest.
Even then, to deepen the impression, Yoichi repeated the question until dawn broke.
In a daze, Kushina muttered, "I don't want to... I don't want to think about Minato anymore."
This was the third time Yoichi had heard those words, and with the sky beginning to lighten, he finally decided to let her go.
After one last time, Yoichi slowed down and then gradually rested on top of Kushina. Lying on the bed, he took a short break before sitting up slightly, the bed creaking under the strain. Last night had indeed been too intense.
Placing his hand on Kushina's slightly swollen belly, Yoichi channeled life energy into her, quickly restoring her physical strength and easing her mental exhaustion.
Now possessing vast amounts of life energy, Yoichi had just absorbed the vitality of a Dinosaur King, along with the energy from the giant turtle he had encountered earlier. He could revive hundreds of people at this point.
As Kushina felt her body quickly recovering, she opened her eyes and immediately said, "No more. I don't want to think about Minato anymore. Really, I don't want to."
"The sun is up, Kushina. Let me help you recover fully. It's time to clean up."
Yoichi continued to pour life energy into her until she returned to her peak condition, even more youthful and vibrant than she had been at eighteen. Only then did he stop.
"You should clean up the room, and... should we talk to Naruto about Minato?"
Kushina slowly regained her composure after hearing this. She hadn't rested the entire night, and although she had been replenished with life energy, she still felt somewhat disoriented. Seeing the dim light outside, she began to recall everything that had happened the previous night.
"It's all your fault, you bastard! You didn't even think about the baby!"
Kushina angrily kicked Yoichi twice. Seeing the mess everywhere, she remembered something about going downstairs the previous night and hurriedly got up to clean.
"Kushina, the baby is fine. If you don't trust me, at least trust your body's changes," Yoichi said as he dodged her kicks. He left a final remark, "Kushina, if you need anything, just come find me," before disappearing with the Flying Thunder God technique.
After Yoichi left, Kushina let out an exasperated snort before starting to clean up the room.
The place was a disaster zone, with even the bed frame broken. Kushina could only do a quick clean-up before heading downstairs to remove any traces.
As she cleaned, Kushina felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, there had been a barrier outside Naruto's room last night.
Just as she finished tidying up, Naruto came downstairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes. "Mom, is breakfast ready yet? I need to get to training early today!"
"It'll be ready soon. Go wash up, Naruto." After urging Naruto to the bathroom, Kushina opened the fridge, preparing to make a simple breakfast.
