Kageyama Kogetsu had wanted to go for a third round, but Kushina refused, and she also didn't let him stay the night.
Although he wasn't completely satisfied, which was a little regrettable, Kageyama Kogetsu didn't stay any longer. There would be plenty of time in the future.
Besides, Kushina was still worried about Naruto, so her mind was preoccupied and she couldn't fully commit. It was understandable.
After Kageyama Kogetsu left, Kushina rested for a while, then changed into her ninja attire and went to the Root base in Konoha's back mountain.
The Root ninja who had been secretly monitoring had already sent back the message. After receiving the message, Danzō sent the weakest of the Root to bring Naruto to Kushina.
Kushina was indeed quite kind-hearted. After getting Naruto back, she didn't kill the Root ninja and left directly.
Instead of going home, Kushina carried Naruto directly to Uzumaki Karin's house.
Uzumaki Karin was worried about Naruto and hadn't rested. When she saw Naruto return safely, she was overjoyed.
The two women took Naruto to the guest room and settled him in. Kushina set up a barrier that enveloped the house, then returned to the living room.
Uzumaki Karin poured Kushina a glass of water, then sat down beside her.
Kushina really needed to rehydrate. She hadn't noticed before because she was worried about Naruto, but now she was thirsty and drank the water all in one go.
"Stay at my place tonight. Rest with me."
"Naruto won't be confused when he wakes up," Uzumaki Karin said with a smile.
After an examination, Naruto had only been drugged and had fallen asleep. There was nothing wrong.
"Alright," Kushina said with a relaxed smile on her face.
"Wow, having a man's nourishment really makes a difference. You're glowing, pretty and bright. You look like you're radiating light," Uzumaki Karin teased with a chuckle.
Kushina blushed and said with a pout, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Hey, to be honest, how many times did Lord Kogetsu want you?" Uzumaki Karin stood up and sat down next to Kushina, winking and nudging her with her shoulder.
"You're annoying! You're going to be the death of me," Kushina's defenses were a little broken. She nudged her back with a little force, causing Uzumaki Karin to fall onto the sofa.
"Hahaha, although I know how many times, it seems you were very satisfied," Uzumaki Karin said, looking up and laughing loudly.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart..." Kushina pounced on her and said fiercely.
The two women played around for a while, then sat up properly again.
"Hey, seriously, what are you going to do about Lord Kogetsu?" Uzumaki Karin's expression was serious.
"What else can I do?"
"Just treat it as a dream. Am I supposed to compete with a junior for his affection?" Kushina rolled her eyes, a little speechless.
Kurenai was a junior, while Nonō and Kushina were of the same generation.
"No, that's not very kind, is it? You're treating Lord Kogetsu like a tool," Uzumaki Karin said, a little surprised.
Kushina said with a pout, "That sounds so bad. It's like I took a huge advantage of him. He took a bigger advantage, okay?"
"He's also partly responsible for this. He's not satisfied with two girlfriends and even made a deal with that despicable and shameless person, Danzō."
"Most importantly, I can't let Minato down."
"Tonight was for Naruto. Minato should forgive me. What would it be if I continued?"
Uzumaki Karin said with a serious expression, "You can't say that. I don't think Lord Kogetsu took advantage of you, and you didn't lose out either."
"After all, Lord Kogetsu didn't know beforehand. It was that bastard Danzō who acted on his own and made Lord Kogetsu do things for him."
"We're all experienced adults. We each get what we need. There's no talk of who lost out."
"If we're being serious, I think Lord Kogetsu lost out a little. After all, he was the one who put in the effort. You didn't have to put in any effort."
Kushina became anxious and quickly retorted, "Nonsense! I worked hard too, okay?"
"That guy really knows how to torment people. I don't know where he learned it from. He's so bad."
Seeing her best friend's half-smiling, meaningful gaze, Kushina's voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was barely audible.
"Heh heh heh..."
Hearing her best friend's laughter, Kushina couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and quickly entered the bedroom.
Seeing this, Uzumaki Karin's smile widened. She followed her into the bedroom, ready to find out more to satisfy her curiosity.
...
The next morning, although they hadn't rested much the night before, Kushina and Uzumaki Karin still got up on time to make breakfast.
Uzumaki Karin had woken up Karin early to give her some instructions. Naruto, being a simple-minded person, did not notice anything unusual when he woke up.
Naruto had not been knocked out, but had passed out after eating drugged food.
After breakfast, Kushina went out and went directly to the Hokage's office, asking Sarutobi to send more cadres to protect Naruto.
Although Hiruzen didn't know why Kushina had changed her mind, he was happy to agree to make the Jinchuriki safer.
Only after the Anbu were in place did Uzumaki Karin go to work at the Konoha Hospital, and only then were the two allowed to go out and play.
...
That night at nine o'clock, Kageyama Kogetsu, who had received a message from Danzō, arrived at the Forest of Death on time for their meeting.
"I have fulfilled your request. It's time for you to tell me the method, right?" Danzō's face was serious, his voice deep.
"Kushina is special. She's not as easy to give in as Mikoto, but it's barely considered complete. I'll handle the rest myself."
"Actually, to make Lord Hokage step down, you don't need extreme measures like assassination, or even political means."
"You just need to make it so that Lord Hokage can't handle the workload of being Hokage," Kageyama Kogetsu said in a deep voice.
Danzō's eyes lit up. He felt a spark of inspiration, but he couldn't quite grasp it. He quickly asked, "What exactly do I do?"
Kageyama Kogetsu's expression became serious. "Suppose Lord Hokage develops a narcoleptic condition, requiring him to rest for more than ten hours intermittently every day."
"This situation can be maintained for a short time, but what about in the long run?"
"In such a situation, shouldn't Lord Hokage step down to seek treatment and rest properly?"
Danzō nodded repeatedly, his expression excited, as if he could already see the position of Hokage beckoning to him.
"Hey... wait a minute. What if the Konoha Hospital cures him? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?" Danzō frowned.
"So this disease has to be strange. It's best if all the doctors at the Konoha Hospital are helpless."
"The relevant virus should be researched by Master Orochimaru. Among the people we know, only he has the ability to research it."
"If the virus is really not strong enough, it doesn't matter. I have a way to make it so that the doctors at the Konoha Hospital can't cure it."
"Although it's very troublesome to operate, for the sake of completing the transaction, I don't mind doing it."
Danzō's brow relaxed, and he smiled, "I was right to cooperate with you. It's always a pleasure."
"I also enjoy cooperating with you, Elder Danzō."
Kageyama Kogetsu smiled, then his expression became serious as he warned, "By the way, Master Orochimaru must research a corresponding antidote. Once the overall situation is settled, Lord Hokage must be restored to health."
"I said, we must not harm Lord Hokage's life."
"Actually, when you used those ten people to besiege Lord Hokage, Elder Danzō, I was watching from the sky."
"From the very beginning, your plan, Elder Danzō, was impossible to succeed."
"I'm also very familiar with Master Orochimaru. I hope you won't pull any more tricks, Elder Danzō."
"Luckily, Lord Hokage won, and I didn't have to intervene. Otherwise, we would have already become enemies."
Danzō's expression changed drastically. "You were monitoring me?"
Kageyama Kogetsu smiled faintly. "I don't have that kind of free time."
"I just felt that the Hokage was in danger after leaving the village, so I had my summoning animal follow from a high altitude."
Danzō's expression flickered upon hearing this...
