Now there are two of them?!
Now there are two of them?!
Kurama only blushed when he heard the words of the beautiful redhead.
"But seriously, I am sure you gave her the 'night' of her life" - Kushina smiled as she kissed the boy on the cheek.
"What can I say? I think I have a talent for this" - said Kurama as he shrugged.
"That is to say little..." - Kushina murmured as she shook her head - "Anyway, we'd better go to dinner, Kurenai-chan is waiting for us"
"Ok" - nodded the young redheaded man as he followed his beautiful lover.
When they entered the dining room, Kurenai only gave him a discreet glance as she hid her face. Kushina had informed her of the situation of their relationship as well as the fact that the woman who was moaning so loudly was none other than Mikoto. She still could not believe that they had such a relationship but she still had to admit that she was jealous. They were having a love affair despite their identities. None of them cared how others looked at them if they were discovered, and they were only hiding their relationship because it was not yet time to reveal it.
"Are you better, Kurenai-san?" - Kurama asked worriedly.
"Yes... thank you for asking" - Kurenai only smiled at him but quickly averted her eyes. She was still a little scared but after she calmed down it was not so bad.
Kurama only sighed ruefully as he thought of how to help the woman.
"Is it all right for me to have dinner with you?" - Kurama asked as he looked at the red-eyed kunoichi.
"I am still a bit scared but strangely I feel safe around you even though I cannot get close to you" - Kurenai replied in confusion.
"I think that unconsciously you don't want to get away from the person who saved you because he is like your 'lifeguard' if he leaves, then you feel that you have no support left" - said Kushina as she thought aloud - "Ironically it is your fear of being almost raped that makes you separate from him, that is why you feel in conflict".
". . ." - Both Kurama and Kurenai looked at Kushina in surprise.
"What? You think just because I have a sexy body I can't be smart?" - Kushina asked with a frown.
"It's not that" - denied Kurama - "I just didn't think you had any knowledge of psychology"
"I don't have that kind of knowledge, it's just that as a woman, I can put myself in Kurenai-chan's place, even more so when I was the victim of a somewhat similar situation" - answered the beautiful redhead - "Remember when I was a child, some Kumo shinobis tried to kidnap me and Minato rescued me, that was the event that made me fall in love with him... and now that I think about it, it feels a bit forced"
"We'd better change the subject" - said Kurama with a frown. He didn't like to talk about Minato because it reminded him of how much he had made Kushina suffer.
"We'd better eat" - Kushina smiled as she entered the kitchen.
"I'm sorry about this, Kurama-kun" - the red-eyed woman apologized.
"I told you once and I will say it again, you don't have to apologize" - the young redheaded man denied with a smile - "You are the victim and you are not to blame for anything that happened"
". . ." - Kurenai just kept quiet while she felt bad inside. She was grateful that the boy was kind to her but it was that same kindness that made the guilt... eat away at her inside.
"I'm back!" - Anko was heard calling out from the door.
"You're just in time, Anko-chan~!" - said Kushina happily - "We were just about to have dinner!"
"That's good because I'm starving!" - said Anko as she entered the dining room - "Torturing idiots makes me hungry"
Kurama only shook his head as Kurenai burst out laughing. She had to admit that life in this house was not so bad, more so knowing that Anko was someone she could go out with more than once.
* * * * *
The four of them had a quiet dinner.
Anko decided to go out for a while to see if she could find something to do.
Kurenai wanted to help out a bit so she went to the kitchen to wash up.
Kushina, seeing that she had nothing to do, decided to turn on the TV while Kurama went to train a little so that he could digest the food. This was not necessary as the shinobi's bodies burned a lot of calories to keep the chakra creation stable.
"Maybe I should ask Zabuza about a weapon that can help me..." - Kurama muttered as he imagined himself with a sword but quickly shook his head - "I'd better just use my claws as weapons, so I can keep my style of tearing everything apart with just my hands"
That was the advantage of Nagare, despite being a Kenjutsu style, it could be used as Taijutsu with the right conditions.
Kurama was so focused on his training session that he did not notice Kurenai's presence. She had to admit that when he trained, Kurama was far more handsome than normal because he always took it seriously. Kurenai was still afraid to approach the men but at least seeing them from a distance was not as much of a problem, not to mention that as Kushina said, she did not want to leave the boy because he was the person who reached out when she needed him most.
The training continued for an hour until Kurama stopped as sweat ran down his face. Nagare's movements called for great flexibility to perform them as well as great reaction skills because the goal of this battle style was to adapt to the movements of the opponent.
Kurama had a strong body, no, that was not enough, Kurama had a monstrous body. His strength was comparable to that of the Sannin Tsunade and this was due to the way he trained but at the same time, his body was rigid because far from concentrating on one style, he was pure brute force. Nagare was a match for him but the problem was that he had to adapt his training so that now he was not only strong and resilient but also flexible.
"Maybe I can use the same method I use to temper my body with Mokuton but with other elements?" - the redhead muttered as he began to think. He had remembered small details of his previous life, or rather he remembered certain stories he had read out of curiosity. In them, one could see a man who tempered his body with different elements so that he would not only be resistant to them but so that his body would have other benefits - "I would have to experiment with each of them..."
Kurama only shook his head because it was obvious that he would have to practice this for at least a day before he could see results and perhaps within a week he could get what he was looking for.
"What is he talking about?" - Kurenai wondered when she saw that the boy was mumbling but she couldn't hear him because he was so far away - "I'd better go home... I don't want him to think I'm some kind of Stalker"
On the other side of Konoha, two young Hyuga sneezed.
* * * * *
The next morning...
Kurama was getting up as usual, with Kushina by his side.
Anko was upset because she hadn't been able to have her 'sexy time' with her beloved Foxy-kun but she couldn't do anything. She didn't have time because her schedule at the IT barely gave her the time to have dinner in peace and this was because in the last few days a lot of spies from different villages had been captured. The IT leaders attributed this to the fact that the Chunin exams would soon begin and with it, the new stars from the villages involved in the tests would appear.
"I think you are getting used to this, Kushi-chan" - Kurama said as he shook his head. It was not that he did not like waking up next to Kushina but he could feel Anko's cold stare as the two of them left his room. It was obvious that the purple-haired kunoichi was jealous of Kushina for all the attention she was getting while she had to work every day, even though there were reports that she had become much more sadistic these days, much to the misfortune of the captured spies.
"But Kuro-chan~!" - Kushina could only look at him with annoyance - "You know I like waking up with you~!"
"I know, but if you don't give Anko-chan a break, I'm sure she'll explode" - sighed the red-haired young man.
"Ok..." - The woman muttered with a frown - "I'd better go prepare breakfast, I'm sure Kurenai-chan must be awake by now.
"Do you want help?" - Kurama asked with a smile.
"No need" - denied the beautiful Uzumaki.
Kurama only shrugged as he entered the bath to wash his face.
* * * * *
The day continued as usual, Kurenai having asked Kurama to inform the girls that she would train them when they came to the Uzumaki residence.
Kurama nodded to the request and created a Kage Bunshin to go and inform them as he walked into the forest of death so that he could train alone. He knew very well that Kurenai would not be able to concentrate with him around so he decided to take this time so that he could train what he had in mind.
When they arrived, the girls immediately asked Kurenai, and after some thought, she explained everything to them. Both Ino and Hinata could not believe that Asuma would do something so low as trying to **** their sensei. They were about to go to Hiruzen to be told to punish his son but Kurenai stopped them by saying that it was not necessary.
The two Genin could not believe that their sensei was still protecting that bastard, not knowing that the person they wanted to punish was already dead. Kurenai would not tell them about this because she was certain Hiruzen would make a statement in the vicinity.
After getting her students to calm down, Kurenai instructed them to follow her into the backyard so they could begin training.
Kurama, on the other hand, was experimenting with the hypothesis that he could use another element's chakra to empower his body so that he can have a better balance.
The afternoon passed slowly and thanks to a trial and error method, Kurama was finally able to find a method that would help him, even though the chakra consumption, as well as the energy consumption, was massive. He would have to eat twice, if not three times, to return to an optimal state but at least now he only had to refine the method a little more to achieve a perfect technique.
At this point, the young redhead was walking home because the day had been exhausting and he urgently needed to eat. He was walking quietly when he felt like someone was watching him... again.
"I swear I'll punish that little girl when I get my hands on her..." - Kurama mumbled with a scowl but when he used his enhanced senses to find the location of the 'spy', but when he did, he discovered that it was not one, but two people who were watching him.
"I am happy that they did things together again But why the fuck does that 'together' have to be spying on me?! - exclaimed the red-haired man in his thoughts. Just a few meters from his location were Hinata and Hanabi hiding, watching him carefully.
"I swear on Kami that I'm sure I woke up something that shouldn't have woke up..." - the young redheaded man muttered as he disappeared.
"Where did he go?!" - exclaimed Hanabi as she looked around - "Wait for a second, I've been through this before..."
"I know..." - said Kurama as he appeared behind the two Hyugas - "And from what I see you not only didn't learn, but you brought an accomplice"
"H-Hello, Kurama-kun!" - Hinata said with a red face when she saw that she had been discovered.
"I can understand it from Hanabi-chan... but you, Hinata-chan?" - Kurama asked with a frown - "I thought you'd already gone through this phase"
"W-We were walking home after spending some time together and we saw you by chance, that's why we followed you" - said Hanabi with a forced smile.
"Exactly" - Hinata nodded.
"I'm glad you got back together... but it still doesn't explain why you followed me instead of talking directly to me" - said Kurama with clear irritation.
"S-Shyness?" - asked Hanabi as she shook slightly.
"It's not because we wanted to be punished" - said Hinata with a slight blush.
"Huh?" - Kurama only looked at them silently as he began to understand something - "You..."
"Onee-chan?!" - exclaimed Hanabi with a red face.
". . ." - Kurama just looked at them not knowing what to say.
* * * * * * * * * * *
I'm sorry to say this but my stories will go into Semi-Hiatus until further notice... the reason, my family is practically forcing me to work with my stepfather, who, by the way, practically hates me.
I'm not going to get into what I'm going to work on because I don't need to extend myself to that but the problem is that I don't have a notebook or internet in that place and I can only go home on weekends, the rest of the time I'm going to be living at my mother's house because it's more convenient to go to work.
Anyway, as I said, I don't have the means to be able to continue writing, unless I manage to get a PC or Notebook so that I can continue writing after returning from work even though if I did I would have to reduce the number of words to 1500 instead of 2000 (I can't take the whole PC because it would be uncomfortable to move a whole computer twice a week).
Honestly, I have conflicting emotions because now I'll be able to get the income I need but at the same time, I'm going to put my dream aside because I couldn't get the income I needed. Thinking about it, I don't blame anyone except maybe I don't have the talent for this or I just didn't know how to reach my readers.
There were times when I thought about taking my story to contract but then I thought it would be a kick to my readers because my story would become premium, which very rarely happens in the original works section.
Having said that, I hope everything will be fixed soon... it might take me a month to fix this and be able to bring a little faster update speed, although I can't promise anything.
But keep this in mind, GenoXX still has a lot to give and I'm not giving up on this dream! Even if I only have to go up one chapter a week, for the time being, I'm going to keep going! That's why I'm not going to say goodbye, I'm just going to say see you soon because I'll see you on Saturday!
I'll give you more news later, see you next week.
