Lin Yu was enjoying himself in the hot spring when he suddenly heard three "plop" sounds of falling into the water. He initially thought someone was throwing stones at him.
He looked up!
What the heck!
Had he fallen into the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Had Uchiha Madara resurrected? Had Otsutsuki Kaguya resurrected? Had the ninja world been destroyed?
Lin Yu no longer cared about any of that. All he could see were three fair and jade-like, slender figures. Three pairs of delicate, small feet gently paddled in the water, stirring Lin Yu's heart.
Splash, splash!
*Puff!*
Lin Yu touched his nose. Damn! He was getting a nosebleed! He was losing his breath!
No! If he went out now, he'd surely be beaten to death. He needed to wait for the mist to get thicker, much thicker…
On the surface of the hot spring, Kushina and Mikoto were still asking Tsunade questions.
“Is that Yin Seal really that difficult to learn?”
Tsunade crossed her arms, her eyes narrowed as she comfortably soaked in the hot spring. Her red lips parted slightly, “Of course. Learning the Yin Seal requires great perseverance, and only by mastering the Yin Seal can the subsequent Creation Rebirth and Hundred Healings Technique be gradually applied.”
“Hmph! You promised to teach Mikoto and me anyway, so don't go back on your word!”
“Would I, the great Tsunade, go back on my word with two little girls like you? Whether you can learn it or not is not my concern!”
“I, Kushina, will definitely be able to learn it!”
The atmosphere gradually deepened. Everyone was enjoying the nourishment of the hot spring. The mist above the hot spring grew thicker. The hot springs of the Land of Hot Water were far more natural than the artificial ones in Konoha, and the medicinal herbs used were also more precious.
Conversely, the mist was much denser than in Konoha!
The three of them could see each other at first, but in a short while, as the hot spring water evaporated, the mist obscured all three of their figures.
None of them minded much. It was a good opportunity to enjoy the soothing effect of the hot spring by themselves and to sober up. They all closed their beautiful eyes.
The hot spring pool fell silent.
While the hot spring pool was shrouded in mist, there was no mist underwater. Lin Yu took in the stunning scenery above.
No! I can't hold on any longer. I need to come up for air!
Lin Yu carefully observed the shapes, then aimed for a mermaid. He gently paddled his legs and secretly swam to her side…
Splash…
The sound of surfacing was very light. The other two didn't even hear a sound, but Kushina, who was right next to the noise, opened her beautiful eyes. Just as she was about to turn her head, a wet palm covered her mouth.
“Mmph!”
Kushina’s beautiful eyes widened. She immediately wanted to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains, but a familiar male voice whispered in her ear, “It’s me! Be quiet!”
Lin Yu! How could he be here? Then does that mean… Mikoto and the others too…
Kushina bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes wide open, as if asking Lin Yu for an explanation.
Lin Yu spread his hands and gestured with a bitter smile: I was here first. Didn’t you see my bathrobe when I took it off?
Kushina rolled her eyes: Who would notice that thing!
Kushina wrote on Lin Yu’s chest with her finger, stroke by stroke: What do we do now? You need to find a chance to get out quickly! It'll be bad if Mikoto and the others find out!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu didn't even look at what Kushina was writing. He directly grabbed her small hand, held it, and looked at the incredibly alluring Kushina with burning eyes. *Slurp!*
Kushina met Lin Yu’s fiery gaze and immediately understood what he was thinking. The blush that had slightly faded on her face reappeared. She whispered softly, “No! Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot… here…”
A startled cry echoed through the swirling white mist. Mikoto opened her eyes and looked in Kushina’s direction, asking softly, “Kushina, are you alright?”
Kushina's trembling voice came from the mist, “No, I’m fine, I… this hot spring water… it’s too comfortable!”
“Really? Kushina, why does your voice sound a bit strange?”
“Ah! I, I haven’t sobered up from the alcohol yet. I’ll be fine if I soak a bit longer!”
“Kushina, would you like me to rub your shoulders for you?”
“No! No need, Mikoto, I… I’ll rub them myself, thank you!”
“Alright then.” Mikoto cast a suspicious glance in Kushina’s direction but didn’t think too much of it.
Just as Mikoto was about to close her eyes, Tsunade's voice came from the other side, “Mikoto, come rub my shoulders for me. My back is so sore, it’s killing me!”
Mikoto naturally wouldn't refuse. She swam through the mist like a mermaid and saw Tsunade, whose face was still flushed. She gently massaged Tsunade’s fair shoulders with her delicate white hands.
“Sister Tsunade, haven’t you sobered up from the alcohol yet?”
“Ah! I drank too much, and the effects are strong!”
Tsunade’s eyes inadvertently glanced aside, and her face turned even redder. Dammit!
Mikoto, completely unaware, thought Tsunade was just effects of drinking too much and felt a bit guilty. She softened her touch, causing Tsunade to let out a soft moan.
Tsunade quickly covered her alluring red lips and glanced quickly at the other side. Seeing no movement, but a few ripples still spreading on the water's surface, she turned to Mikoto and said, “Mikoto, we shouldn’t soak for too long. Let’s go to the room and order some hangover soup. It’ll be good to sober up the other little girl too.”
Mikoto thought Tsunade made sense. She called out towards Kushina’s direction, “Kushina, Tsunade and I are going to take care of Hong first and order some hangover soup. Do you want to come with us?”
Kushina's intermittent voice came from the mist, “I want to… no, I want to soak a little longer! You guys go ahead!”
“Kushina, what’s wrong with you? You’re acting strangely!”
Just as Mikoto was about to swim over to check, Tsunade pulled her back, feigning composure and saying, “What’s wrong? She’s obviously had too much to drink and is hiccuping!”
“It’s fine! I’ve experienced this kind of thing many times. Mikoto, let’s go up first. We’ll just order some hangover soup for Kushina!”
Mikoto glanced at Kushina in the mist again. She had a feeling something was wrong, but she still followed Tsunade out of the hot spring and wrapped herself in a bathrobe.
In the room, the little loli Yuhi Kurenai was still pouting and smiling foolishly, as if dreaming of something. Her little hands clenched and unclenched.
Seeing this, Mikoto shook her head and smiled, “Look at how much you’ve gotten this little girl to drink, she’s almost broken!”
Tsunade walked over and poked Kurenai’s cheek. Her skin was smooth and soft, and she had a delicate, fragrant body temperature. Tsunade couldn’t help but feel fond of her.
“Don’t break her. I’ll go call for some hangover soup.”
A short while later, there was a knock on the door. Lin Yu pushed a trolley in, a look of comfortable pleasure on his face, and said, “Ladies, your hangover soup is here. Please enjoy!”
Mikoto exclaimed in surprise, then looked at her perfectly covered pajamas. She took the hangover soup and said, “Lin Yu, aren’t you asleep yet?”
“I just went out to buy something, and then I happened to meet the server who was supposed to deliver your hangover soup. I helped him out of convenience, after all, it’s a good opportunity to get close to beautiful ladies!”
“Hee hee!”
Mikoto handed a bowl of hangover soup to Tsunade, then said, “Why hasn’t Kushina come out yet? Should we go call her?”
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, took a sip of the hangover soup, and said unintelligibly, “You’ll have to ask someone for that question.”
Lin Yu scratched his head. It probably wasn't necessary. Kushina was already broken!
