In the early morning, Lin Yu woke up feeling refreshed from his custom-made wooden bed. He stretched and happily said, "Good morning, Kushina!"
Just as he expected! Any improvements to stamina were just a misunderstanding by the system!
He, Lin Yu, didn't need any improvement; he was already top-tier!
"Hoo hoo..."
The only response Lin Yu received was Kushina's rising and falling breaths. Lin Yu shook his head and smiled. It was time to give Kushina a few days off. Otherwise, even the Uzumaki clan's physique couldn't withstand it.
Lin Yu remembered he still had a daily quest to complete and immediately slapped Kushina's thigh, murmuring, "Since there's nothing much going on lately, why not invite Mikoto to the Land of Hot Springs for a soak!"
Kushina, who was fast asleep, perked up her small ears. Her slightly red and swollen lips parted, "No, no, you can't… you have to take me too!"
Lin Yu asked doubtfully, "Kushina, you're already like this, can you handle it?!"
Kushina, her eyes still closed, nestled her head against Lin Yu's body, nuzzling and acting spoiled, "I don't care! I want to go!"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and clapped his hands, "Then let's all go together!"
Kushina opened her beautiful eyes, tilted her head, and blinked, "Go together?"
"Hehehe!"
...
At noon, at the main gate of Konoha, under the stunned expressions of the two gatekeepers whose saliva was about to drip out, another Konoha beauty arrived, wearing a trench coat.
"I'm not late, am I? Huh? Why is there a little girl here too? And Kushina, what's with the dark circles under your eyes?"
Kushina, sporting two dark circles and still trembling slightly on her slender legs, clearly looked exhausted!
"Hmph!"
Facing Tsunade's teasing gaze, Kushina feigned composure, "I didn't sleep well last night. Youth is willful!"
Tsunade, in her usual green cloak with a loose, sleeveless top underneath, didn't look like she was going on a trip at all. Instead, she seemed like… she wanted to check out some other casinos!
"Young people nowadays don't know how to take care of their bodies. When you get old, tsk, tsk!"
"That's none of your business!"
Mikoto, holding the hand of the little loli Kurenai Yuhi, stood elegantly to the side with the two beauties, showing no intention of easing the atmosphere.
Because she often visited Kushina, Kurenai had also met the gentle and virtuous Mikoto and immediately grown fond of her.
Lin Yu stood a short distance away, chatting with the two gatekeepers.
"With the two of you guarding Konoha, it truly shines!"
"Not at all, you flatter us!"
Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane looked on with envy and confusion. Who are you? Do we know each other?
Why are you striking up a conversation and trying to get close right away!
However… his luck with women is truly incredible!
In the eyes of Konoha's lower to middle-ranking ninjas, Uzumaki Lin Yu's name was not prominent, even unheard of. Due to Lin Yu's personal request, his contributions during the Third Great Ninja War were not publicized. The number of people in Konoha who knew Lin Yu's strength was less than ten.
Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane had already discussed it last night. After this month, they would apply to have their guard duty reassigned. Guard duty was truly terrifying!
Thinking of the golden light that night, and the countless enemies of Konoha in the future, the gatekeepers of Konoha were like appetizers being sent into a tiger's mouth!
They would rather come back to this job after the ninja world had been peaceful for a few years!
Lin Yu glanced at the "killing intent" between Kushina and Tsunade. He quickly gave the little loli Kurenai Yuhi a look, then smiled and bid farewell to the two gatekeepers, "I'll have to trouble you two to keep the gate in the future! Don't worry! I've already spoken to the higher-ups, no one dares to touch your jobs! Not even Old Man Sarutobi!"
"..."
Thank you so much! Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane forced smiles onto their faces, while internally cursing this red-haired villain countless times!
Brother, we really don't know you, why must you make things so difficult for us!
Lin Yu waved his hand at them, "See you next time, and I wish you happiness!"
"..."
Damn it! Although the red-haired man's words seemed to be a blessing, they heard another meaning in their ears.
Izumo Kamizuki looked at Kotetsu and said, "Tetsu, what do you think?"
Kotetsu met Izumo's gaze and retorted, "Don't call me Tetsu, call me Brother Kote!"
"Oh ho! You're getting cocky! You really think you're something just because someone praises you a few times! Tetsu, you're getting carried away!"
...
Meanwhile, on another "battleground," the little loli Kurenai Yuhi made her move!
"Hello, Sister Tsunade. It's nice to meet you. I am Kurenai Yuhi of the Yuhi clan. Please take care of me."
Kurenai Yuhi politely greeted Tsunade. After all, her Yuhi clan was somewhat aligned with the Hokage lineage, and their relationship with the Third Hokage's disciples should be relatively close.
Tsunade stopped bickering with Kushina, lowered her head, patted Kurenai's head, and smiled, "You're Kurenai, right? So well-behaved! Unlike some people who called me sister when they were little and now call me an old woman."
"Hmph! You're already an old aunt in your forties and you're still trying to act young!"
"What do you know, little brat! My youth lasts much longer than yours. In a few decades, you'll be old, but I, Tsunade, will still be young!"
Tsunade was very confident. With her Senju clan's physique and her uniquely developed Medical Ninjutsu, the Yin Seal, her appearance could remain at its peak!
"Tch!"
Kushina looked disdainful on the surface, but inwardly she was already worrying. Could what this old woman said be true?!
"Don't you believe it. The S-rank medical ninjutsu, the Yin Seal, which I developed personally, can maintain the body's functions at their peak. Skilled users can even achieve eternal youth through low chakra output and fine-tuning!"
Upon hearing this, all the women present felt a jolt!
No! They absolutely couldn't let her stay young forever alone!
Kushina and Mikoto exchanged a glance, and they could see a flicker of fiery desire in each other's eyes, a desire for eternal youth!
Even Kurenai, held by Tsunade, looked at Tsunade with a fiery gaze!
Indeed, women's yearning for eternal youth was universal! They absolutely had to obtain the secret technique of the Yin Seal from Tsunade!
None of the women considered the difficulty of learning an S-rank ninjutsu. They just wanted to get their hands on it first!
Lin Yu, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head and give Tsunade a look of "good luck."
Mikoto had initially been watching the show from the side, but Tsunade's mention of eternal youth had forcefully pushed Mikoto into the fray, and she had joined forces with Kushina. For women, one plus one didn't equal two; it meant infinite possibilities!
Moreover, there was Kurenai Yuhi, whose eyes were rolling around, and Tsunade herself was already a rather bold woman.
Lin Yu sighed and thought, "Good luck to you. I can't help you anymore. At most, I'll carry you back to your room to sleep when you're unconscious!"
