Kushina

As Naruto stood up, his mind raced with thoughts. He still had to manage things with Mitsuki, but this quest would make things complicated yet interesting. He began walking back toward the village, thinking aloud.

"Hmm… should I talk to Mitsuki about this first or handle things with Mom and then deal with her afterward? "

The system chimed in unexpectedly.

[You are quite confident about kissing her.]

Naruto raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I didn't know you'd start getting chatty."

The system, unsurprisingly, didn't respond, and Naruto chuckled. "It's because I have observed her for long enough, even if it was from Naruto's memory. Mitsuki has been lonely for long enough, and I resemble Minato too much for Kushina, so she already has feelings for me. But her rational mind is stopping her from revealing them."

[Looks like you've already figured out how to go about kissing her, Host.]

"Of course," Naruto replied with a smirk on his face. "You think I'm diving into this without a plan?"

With his discussion finishing, he headed back towards his home, thinking about how he would kiss Kushina.

While walking down the familiar streets of Konoha, his mind was filled with anticipation, thinking about what awaited him when he arrived home.

The Lustful Ascension System had set him on a path that he could have never expected before. Each quest he completed brought him more power, more confidence, and his next target was none other than his mother, Kushina.

As he approached their home, his thoughts became more focused. He felt his anticipation building as his rewards this time were nothing to scoff at. He desperately needed better chakra control and the system's reward was exactly that.

Naruto opened the door quietly and stepped inside. The house was warm, cozy even, as the scent of home-cooked food lingered in the air. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of excitement and nervousness building within him.

He knew what he needed to do next, the system had already made that quite clear—this was his path to power, and he wouldn't let some morals get in his way.

As he walked down the hall towards the kitchen, he could hear the soft sounds of Kushina moving around, preparing dinner as usual.

But tonight wasn't going to be just another night. For Naruto, things had changed.

The sight of Kushina standing at the stove, humming softly to herself, made his breath quicken. Her long red hair flowed down her back like a waterfall of crimson, and her figure—curved in all the right places—made Naruto's heartbeat quicken. 

Naruto took a step closer, his eyes never leaving her. He could see the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she worked, completely unaware of what was to come.

He spoke softly, "Kaa-chan?"

Kushina turned around, smiling at him warmly. "Oh, Naruto! You're back early. How was your day?"

Naruto smiled back at her, replying, "It was good, Kaa-chan. I practiced my chakra control in the forest."

Kushina took off her apron and washed her hands while asking curiously, "Oh? Why are you training all of a sudden? You never train by yourself." she teased in a light and playful voice.

Naruto's eyes roamed over her body again, watching the way her hips jiggled ever so slightly as she moved, her ripe ass making his imagination run wild, "Kaa-chan, you know the academy exams are coming soon, so I need to be prepared for that." 

Kushina felt his gaze on her ass but dismissed it as just a coincidence. She dried her hands with a towel and turned towards Naruto, "Ah, yes. It is about time for the academy exam. You should be prepared for that, I heard they are changing a few things this year since Lord Hiruzen died and Tsunade became Hokage. She implemented a few changes."

Naruto focused on her face after she turned around, looking at her plump lips, "Eh? What changes can there be?"

Kushina looked at Naruto weirdly, noticing him looking at her in a different way than before, but she still responded, "I don't know, but there might be a special exam for you due to you holding the Nine-Tailed Beast inside."

Naruto stepped a little forward while speaking, "I will take care of that, since it is designed for me, it won't be that hard."

Kushina felt her heartbeat quicken seeing Naruto slowly approach her, but she still calmly replied with a warm, motherly smile, "I know you can do it Naruto, after all, you are my dear son."

Naruto stood in front of her, glancing slightly below her cleave to look at her perky breast. He swallowed hard, trying to maintain control of the rising desire inside him. "Kaa-chan… what do you think about our little family?"

Kushina's cheek flushed slightly feeling Naruto's gaze on her breast, but she didn't back away from his gaze. His question felt simple, yet the way he asked it…felt different. 

"I love you and Mitsuki more than anything. You both are my world," she said softly, her voice sincere.

She also felt something sweet yet forbidden budding in her heart noticing Naruto's gaze, yet she didn't take notice of it and smiled warmly at Naruto.

"I also love you both, and I want to stay with you together, we will live in each other's company." He sincerely said to her, looking at her with passionate eyes.

Kushina's cheeks turned pink as she felt Naruto's passionate gaze on herself, "Ahaha, yes Naruto, we will stay together with each other, me, you, and little Mitsuki."

Naruto's eyes darkened slightly, his heart pounding as he took a step closer. "I feel the same... but I want more than just that."

Kushina's eyes widened in surprise. She instinctively took a small step back, her body reacting before her mind could process the implications of his words. "Bu-but we can't, Naruto. We shouldn't talk about this."

Naruto reached out and gently took her hand, his fingers brushing against her skin, sending a shiver down her spine. "But why not, Kaa-chan? You've felt it too, haven't you? The way you look at me sometimes, stealing glances at me. And the intense looks you give me when I change clothes or take a bath... I know you've been hiding it."
