Chapter 231: Kushina Uzumaki
🕑 Added 2022-02-12 13:50:21 +0000 UTCDays gradually succeeded each other. Those who were preparing their plan hid, and those who were absolutely sure of the situation just calmly waited. So, for example, Sasuke moved to the Adamantine Fortress, closer to his teacher. Over the course of the week, Shikamaru occasionally gave the boy some instruction in Fire Ninjutsu and a couple of lessons in Taijutsu.
In a spacious office lit by a mass of fuin seals, Shikamaru calmly worked on his taijutsu. All this happened quite imperceptibly, he just sat and mentally directed the chakra in the body. Based on the Eight Gates and the Heavenly Titanic Body, he developed his own special method of hardening and strengthening.
Not far from Shikamaru, on the tatami-covered floor, Haku and Sasuke fought a fierce battle.
Dodging a lunge with his foot, the Uchiha broke the distance and immediately put his hands in front of his face - Haku's blow followed. The mats were thrown to the sides and Sasuke crashed into the adamantine wall, coughing heavily.
“Ha… That’s it… Enough…” gasping for air quickly, the boy stood up, “You’re not bad…”
Haku just chuckled and nodded.
“You too, your speed has increased in the last two days. But why don't you use the Sharingan?
“Ha… Master said that I should get used to it in non-combat.”
The two guys looked at the calm Shikamaru, and then Sasuke said with a grin:
- I thought he would train me at least today ...
“Well, maybe,” Yuki wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled charmingly, “It’s time for me.”
- Yeah...
The boy left to check on Mikoto and the others. Although he didn't mind upgrading his skills against Sasuke, he still did his job. Having almost left the training area, Haku stopped, at the same moment, the wall dotted with red symbols was lit up with a bright glow and parted to the sides. Haku was surprised at first when he noticed the girl on the back, then just nodded and left. Kushina gave him a thoughtful look and entered the training area. The adamantine doors closed behind them, and the fuin seals dimmed again.
The girl looked around, surprise mixed with admiration on her face. She knew a lot about fuin, but what Shikamaru created here... It's all truly incredible! Strong walls, teleportation formations, perfect lighting, and chakra-responsive doors. This place is a real impregnable fortress! According to Kushina's memoirs, only in the Maelstrom Village people could repeat something like this, but even they did not create such structures.
For many days, Kushina wondered how it all works, and who exactly is this Shikamaru. Is he somehow related to the Uzumaki? And is he related to her...
As soon as the girl appeared in the training area, Sasuke blinked in surprise and frowned suspiciously - this was the first time he had seen her. However, this is not surprising, Kushina spent all these days in other places or even tried to get used to her new life. Shikamaru never showed up that time, so it started to annoy her a little. Just today, he had ordered Hak that she could come to this part of the tower. It was a newly created second floor. Without Shikamaru's orders, no one would be able to teleport to him.
Kushina was still in a strange state as she continued to look around. Sasuke has long gotten used to everything, for him the techniques and skill of the teacher have become something ordinary. Therefore, he only looked at the beautiful girl in surprise and did not understand who she was. Her beauty and amazing hair color caught the eye immediately. Her appearance here is definitely not accidental.
Shikamaru also opened his eyes and looked at Kushina with interest. This time she was even more beautiful than before. A short beauty in a yellow short kimono - it sparkled like the sun. While her scarlet hair burned like a blood moon. The loose curls of the girl fell below the waist, so beautiful - perfectly combined with their owner. An incredible body and face, Kushina shone with her whole appearance and attracted attention.
Shikamaru just let out a light laugh and closed his eyes again. Even Ino and Sakura didn't sparkle like that, this girl is way too hot! If you do not control yourself, you can accidentally pounce!
- Who are you? Sasuke immediately asked, which finally got Kushina's attention. The girl tilted her head to the side in surprise.
- And who are you?
"Hmm," Sasuke chuckled, "I'm Sasuke Uchiha!"
You are Sasuke! - the girl exclaimed in surprise: - You ... Amazing.
- What? You know me? the boy squinted.
"Well," Kushina smiled infectiously, then saddened, "I'm sorry... Your mom and the others... Mikoto and I were friends."
“You... Did you know my mother?” Who are you? Sasuke was very surprised, after all, the girl in front of him did not exactly resemble an adult woman. How could she even be friends with his mom? She looked no bigger than Shikamaru. She is too young... He did not believe, but doubts appeared. After all, what's the point of lying to her?
"Well," Kushina looked uncertainly towards Shikamaru's half-naked silhouette and answered with a sigh.
- I'm Kushina.
Sasuke nodded frowningly, he was absolutely sure that he did not know this girl, but even so, she seemed too suspicious to him. But if she's here, it's definitely Shikamaru. He alone has all the answers, but knowing him, the Uchiha didn't even plan to ask. The answer, as usual, will only stir up interest and spoil the nerves.
The two briefly looked at each other, after which the boy grunted and turned to Shikamaru with a slight bow:
"Sensei, I'm going!"
In response, the man nodded slightly, to which Sasuke smiled contentedly, and then quickly left. Today, he wanted to meet with Naruto and Sakura to sort out the Exam issue. He really wanted to participate in it and show the teacher his skills! He decided to leave the case with Kushina for the future, now is clearly not the time to ask questions.
