Lin Feng broke into a sweat. He truly didn't know if Naruto would become Hokage, but he figured it was highly probable!
"So, for now, let's leave it at that! The Third Hokage was right. We should just maintain the status quo." As she spoke, Kushina unconsciously hugged Lin Feng's arm tighter, clinging to him like a kitten seeking warmth.
A sudden storm blew in. The rain in Konoha struck the leaves, making a persistent drip-drop and rustling sound! The black gravestone before them had clear inscriptions, but stood silently.
Kushina stood before the tombstone, letting the rain soak her body.
Lin Feng stood behind her, though he showed no sign of getting wet.
The raindrops seemed to be stopped a few centimeters from his body by an invisible barrier, unable to reach him—a result of his precise water control.
"You are dead, your breathing is stiff, no longer afraid of being struck by evil, no longer troubled by the abyss. Your flame finally finds release: life, like land meticulously crafted from glass, is so easily shattered by a clumsy bull. After you were consumed by fire, the wings that weighed down your soul are now free."
Life is a luxury. Inside it, there are flowers, grass, and utopias.
Lin Feng stepped forward, reaching out to gently place his hand on Kushina's shoulder.
Kushina turned, meeting Lin Feng's concerned smile. Her heart warmed, and she returned a faint smile: "I'm fine! It's strange, but some things, once they've passed, simply pass. Getting caught up in excessive grief only blinds you to future happiness, doesn't it?"
Lin Feng didn't speak, simply gazing blankly at the beauty drenched by the rain. Her deep red hair was slick with moisture, and her clothes were semi-transparent, clinging to her skin.
"Why... are you staring at me like that?" She placed her hands on her hips, an unintentional pose that only served to accentuate the fullness of her chest.
"Stop pretending!" Lin Feng's words struck her like a bolt of lightning. "The truth is, your heart still hurts, doesn't it?"
"I don't!" The usually cheerful woman immediately turned her back to him, letting the rain lash against her.
Only this way could she feel a momentary sense of relief.
But why did her heart still ache slightly?
"Hey, I wonder..." Kushina suddenly spread her arms toward the sky and murmured: "Can one really forget everything that happened in the past?"
For a long moment, she heard no reply from Lin Feng. She couldn't help but turn her head, but just then, Lin Feng took a step forward and hugged the beautiful woman from behind, enveloping her in his arms.
Kushina trembled, but she didn't refuse Lin Feng's forward embrace. Instead, she leaned her head back against his chest.
"You little rascal, you're taking advantage of me, aren't you?"
"Who knows!" Lin Feng tightened his arms, pulling her mature body closer to his chest. "Maybe you're taking advantage of me!" As he spoke, the hand that held her waist broke away to gently roam her body.
"You... stop moving!" Kushina quickly grabbed the "wolf claw" trying to climb toward her chest. "Be careful, or I'll chop it off!" Yet, she failed to notice that her cheeks had flushed bright red all the way to her ears!
The man's embrace from behind was so warm, his chest so solid!
She had considered pushing him away.
But her heart held onto the ambiguous embrace, unwilling to let go.
However, when she felt that hard object pressing against her buttocks, she instantly sobered up.
"Let go of me..." Even so, she didn't dare struggle excessively.
Lin Feng looked at the tombstone, leaned his head forward, and gently bit Kushina's earlobe: "Don't move! Or I can't promise I won't do something indecent!"
"Ngh—stop that!" Kushina instinctively drew her neck in, trying to escape the assault on her ear.
But the hands wrapped around her waist seemed to be rooted in place, preventing her from pulling them away!
The man's hot breath on her neck sent waves of tingling pleasure through her, making her lose control slightly.
"From now on, don't overthink things! Just live happily. That's enough! That's the greatest promise you can give to the one you lost." His soft words, carried by his breath, tickled her earlobe and ear canal, reaching deep into her heart. Kushina instantly became lost in thought.
"Can I really do that?" Kushina stopped her useless struggling. Her hands, however, remained clasped over the hands that encircled her waist, preventing him from moving freely.
She turned her head slightly, meeting Lin Feng's deep black eyes: "Tell me, have you been plotting against me all along?"
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he laughed: "What are you talking about! Do I look like that—" But before he finished, Kushina impatiently interrupted: "I want the truth!" She pouted her small, sexy lips, wiggling her body as if pouting.
"I admit it! The first moment I saw you, I was captivated!" Lin Feng told the truth. "But who told you to be so beautiful! You've ruined my appetite and sleep!"
"Hmph!" Surprisingly, Kushina didn't refute the man's flirting words, simply turning her head away, refusing to look at him.
Her action seemed to encourage Lin Feng, whose hands holding her wrist unconsciously relaxed.
Lin Feng gently tightened his hold and shifted his body. His burning arousal pressed against her hips.
But the desire swelling within him found no outlet, only intensifying violently!
"Stop... we shouldn't..." Kushina's body didn't struggle, but her mouth repeatedly refused Lin Feng's contact.
How could she be like this!
She thought of who she was, yet inside, she felt thousands of ants crawling, making her completely uneasy!
Lin Feng swallowed hard, looking at the beautiful woman in his arms as if she were a prize waiting to be taken.
But the next moment, Kushina suddenly twisted out of his embrace. A kunai, seemingly appearing from nowhere, was placed against Lin Feng's neck: "If you move again, I'll cut your head off!"
Lin Feng, looking at the playful beautiful woman, felt no fear. Instead, his heart rejoiced! He completely disregarded the kunai, leaned forward, and gave her a quick, light kiss on the lips!
