For a fleeting moment, a thought crossed her mind: Should she call a halt?

After all, even though it was a normal recuperation, Shenyue Xingyun was still a man, and this was his own home.

But soon, under the constant onslaught of sensations, this idea was completely shattered.

So comfortable, so very comfortable.

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki didn't care about whether it was suitable or not, or whether she was manly or not.

Anyway, Minato is still working overtime. She's pregnant and going through so much hardship, so what's wrong with taking a break and resting for a while?

That makes sense.

Chakra, combined with superb healing techniques, stirred up wave after wave of continuous waves.

Kushina's consciousness was almost submerged in the wave.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly sensed a familiar chakra fluctuation.

The ensuing, strained sound made her open her eyes instantly.

"Kushina...you guys..."

"What are you doing?"

Chapter 316 Breaking Through!

Uzumaki Kushina: "!!!!!!"

What does it feel like to be struck by lightning in a clear sky?

That's exactly how Kushina Uzumaki feels right now.

The self-righteous thoughts I once had have now become excuses for self-deception.

It's like sneaking a peek at the bottom of a group chat only to be suddenly discovered by the person in question; it's like enjoying an ambiguous moment only to be suddenly asked if you're sick; it's like having your mouth full of snacks only to be called on by your homeroom teacher to answer a question; it's like comforting a masseuse only to be suddenly told: "Show some respect, this isn't part of the package deal."

In an instant, I was drenched in cold sweat!

The wave created by chakra receded from her, followed by a chill in her heart. Kushina Uzumaki's body stiffened abruptly, and Shingetsu Seiun, who was kneading the ten jewels in his hands, clearly felt it.

Shingetsu Seiun put the items back in their place and calmly looked at Namikaze Minato.

Kushina Uzumaki suddenly jumped up, regaining her sitting position with a flexibility that a pregnant woman should never have, and faced Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, you...you...why are you back?" Kushina Uzumaki said, her eyes twitching.

You're so sharp-tongued!

Speak properly!

She wanted to slap herself.

Minato Namikaze: "I came back to get something... is that not allowed?"

He didn't say what it was, his gaze simply shifting back and forth between the two of them.

Kushina Uzumaki felt extremely guilty.

It wasn't that she had done anything wrong, but the scene just now... she felt guilty just thinking about it.

She was at home, while her husband was at work, being taken to a sanatorium by another man…

I didn't notice it when I was doing it, but now that I want to explain it, something just doesn't feel right!

She glanced furtively at Shenyue Xingyun beside her and saw that the latter was slowly and calmly taking off his gloves.

'How can he be so calm?'

Even if you have a clear conscience, shouldn't you still feel a little guilty, like you're in a compromising situation?

Unaware of her confusion, Shingetsu Nebula, though outwardly calm, was actually surging with chakra like a V8 engine, ready to face the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan at any moment.

The reason for taking off the gloves was to avoid interfering with any possible battle.

Of course, this was only the worst-case scenario. Even though she was feeling uneasy inside, Shen Yue Xingyun remained calm on the surface.

He looked at Minato Namikaze and answered for Kushina Uzumaki.

"Kushina, a Jonin, knows that I am skilled in medical ninjutsu, so she asked me to teach her and give her a demonstration."

He spoke with absolute certainty.

Although his reasoning sounded absurd, he had the confidence to back it up. The gloves he had just taken off were his source of confidence.

After all, who does bad things while wearing gloves, right?

"Provide a demonstration?" Minato Namikaze's face was unusually solemn and sharp. His gaze lingered for a moment on the gloves that Shinzuki Seiun had taken off, before looking at Uzumaki Kushina, who was trying her best to hide her panic.

At this moment, his emotions were incredibly complex, a mixture of anger, tension, and ferocity.

Fortunately, his strong mental fortitude allowed him to maintain a calm demeanor.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, she was still able to discern the reason for Kushina Uzumaki's change in mood, thanks to her intelligence.

Based on his understanding of his partner, he believed that it was unlikely that she would have any bad intentions or do anything wrong.

The temperature of emotions can be sensed. He could perceive that although his feelings for Kushina had changed slightly recently, there were no major problems.

The other person's panic was most likely due to the somewhat indecent scene just now, and the fact that his appearance was rather abrupt. Of course, even if he were given another chance, he would still suddenly appear without warning.

God knows how panicked he was when he was inspecting the intelligence interrogation department a minute earlier, and was summoned by Genma Shiranui, who was covered in sweat.

"H...H...Hokage-sama!~" Genma Shiranui was pale, as if he had lost half his life: "I...I've finally found you."

"We have new intelligence that requires you to... personally... personally investigate the situation."

Minato Namikaze's expression hardened: "When did this happen?"

Genma Shiranui's words made his heart sink: "Three...three..."

Three minutes ago?

"Three hours ago!"

Minato Namikaze: "!!!"

Three hours.

Even a battle between Kage-level powerhouses would be enough for several rounds.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, disregarding the depletion of his chakra, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique with all his might. In the blink of an eye, he returned home, only to find the scene he had just witnessed.

"Hoo!~" Taking a deep breath, Minato Namikaze maintained his composure and restrained his urge to attack.

He looked at Shenyue Xingyun; "Thank you so much, it's really kind of you to make this trip."

Shen Yue Xingyun: "It's nothing." He didn't know what to say, but finally managed to say, "It's also to share the burden of the Hokage."

"It would be good for Jonin Kushina to learn some healing skills while she is pregnant."

Minato Namikaze: "I see~ Did you learn it?"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded: "I understand."

"Nebula, thank you so much."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "I already said there's no need to be polite."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now?"

Kushina Uzumaki naturally agreed, while Minato Namikaze secretly wished to keep her there, but that was just a thought.

Putting aside the fact that things haven't developed to that point, even if they had, would he really want to kill the other party?

...He didn't know either.

As he left Minato Namikaze's house, a cool breeze blew, and Shingetsu Seiun felt a little cold—he had just been sweating a bit.

Well, it wasn't from being scared, it was from the effort of healing.

Recalling the look Minato Namikaze had given him just now, he felt a little scared.

After all, the place where he treated Kushina Uzumaki was Minato Namikaze's home.

If the message was transmitted via a kunai mark carried by the user, it means the system has determined that Minato Namikaze currently has no intention of attacking him.

However, even at Minato Namikaze's house, he couldn't be sure whether Minato Namikaze had been teleported back through the Flying Thunder God mark in the house or through the Shinobi Kunai on his body.

Furthermore, even if Minato Namikaze had no murderous intent before returning, it's debatable whether he had any after seeing Minato's actions.

So just now, his 'flash' was already poised to be unleashed.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm. The mission to return home to Minato is one step closer, now at 8/10.

Recalling Minato Namikaze's state just now, Shingetsu Seiun thought to himself, 'Judging from his expression just now, even if I don't go, I'll probably be coming home to visit more often in the coming days.'

The 'Homecoming Watergate' mission is a sure thing!

Meanwhile, at Minato Namikaze's house.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze looked at each other inside the room.

Both of them were at a loss for words. Kushina Uzumaki didn't know whether she should explain or not, and she was afraid that she would make things worse. As for Minato Namikaze, he was afraid that he would hurt Kushina's feelings if he spoke too harshly, and he was also afraid that if he seemed indifferent, things would get more and more serious.

In the end, he only spoke softly.

"The work of the Nebula Dark Division is quite busy."

"I think we shouldn't contact him anymore."

"Mmm." Kushina Uzumaki nodded: "My cooking skills have improved recently. I've learned everything I needed to learn. From now on, I can stay home and focus on my pregnancy."

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kushina Uzumaki, then looked away, his gaze falling on a small wedding photo of the two of them next to the sofa.

In the picture, Kushina Uzumaki, dressed in white, looks as beautiful as an angel, and she is smiling happily.

"That's good." He said softly.

Chapter 317 Business Trip

"An overseas mission?"

In the Hokage's office, Shingetsu Seiun uttered a puzzled question.
