Happy Life

The next day, in the heart of Konoha, in a quiet courtyard surrounded by a single-family residence.

This was Luo Lei's new home, a house prepared by the Council before his return to the village. They had anticipated his return, ensuring that everything was ready for his comfort.

With the first rays of the sun illuminating the residence, Luo Lei emerged from his room with a relaxed expression and an air of satisfaction that reflected the peace of his morning.

The previous night had been particularly significant. After bringing Kushina to her home, she had finally awakened. Although she was initially shy, what happened afterward was something that didn't need explanation; the connection between the two had inevitably evolved.

On the other hand, Yugito and Mikoto, aware of what might happen, chose not to return to Luo Lei's residence.

Instead, they spent the night at the Uchiha Clan mansion.

After a few minutes, Luo Lei found a place in the courtyard to sit. His relaxed posture contrasted with his gaze, which reflected satisfaction and some discomfort. As he enjoyed the atmosphere, his thoughts began to wander.

Since obtaining the Homelander template, he had lived by his own rules, following his desires and facing any challenge without fear. But recently, events seemed to be challenging him in a different way.

The figure of Madara emerged in his mind. Since the confrontation in the Land of Waves, he had begun to act provocatively, even daring to head towards Konoha.

Does he really think that just because he's the idol of this village, I won't retaliate?

His mind couldn't help but question how others perceived him. Did they think he was just a simple, tame, predictable kitten? If that was the case, they were sorely mistaken.

At that moment, the familiar sound echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have completed a perfect move. The system rewards you with 2% experience.]

[Congratulations on making the Konoha Council obedient and not daring to contradict you. The system grants you an additional 1% experience.]

[I hope the host continues to work hard, stays true to his heart, and continues to do as he wishes without restrictions.]

Luo Lei smiled as he listened to the rewards given by the system. Although moments earlier he had been somewhat melancholic, these words filled him again with optimism.

"Perfect, three percent more experience," he murmured to himself, his mood visibly improving.

Suddenly, energy surged through his body. He felt his bones and muscles strengthen, taking him to a new level of physical power.

"What a pleasure!" he exclaimed, stretching as he enjoyed the transformation.

Curious, he decided to open his attribute panel:

Satisfied, he closed the panel. Everything seemed in order. In fact, if he wasn't mistaken, he perceived a soft movement inside the house.

Kushina seemed to have woken up.

"UMM!"

A cry of pain echoed in the quiet residence. Kushina limped out of the room, her face flushed with both discomfort and something else.

Before she could go far, a figure as fast as the wind appeared behind her.

Luo Lei wrapped her in an embrace from behind, his warm smile disarming her.

In a soft whisper, he said in her ear:

"You need to rest for a while."

Kushina quickly shook her head.

"No, I'm fine. I've recovered."

However, there was something else in her expression. After a brief pause, she confessed:

"Yesterday... I don't know exactly what happened, but I lost consciousness. At that moment, the Kyubi broke free." Her voice trembled slightly as she continued. "There's also a problem with the Eight Trigrams Seal. It's starting to fail. If it isn't reinforced, the Kyubi's chakra could leak out at any moment... and... it could affect me."

Her tone was tinged with fear. The mere idea of the Kyubi wreaking havoc in Konoha terrified her. She knew the consequences: the villagers would blame her, hate her, see her as a monster. Her position as a Jinchūriki placed her on a thin line between respect and rejection.

Luo Lei listened attentively, and seeing her so vulnerable, his smile softened.

He took her hand and replied calmly, "You don't need to worry. The Kyubi will not bother you again."

He understood Kushina's concerns. In the canon, Naruto was isolated, people were hostile towards him, and he was hated since he was a child.

Kushina looked at him in astonishment, searching his eyes for any hint of doubt. But she found only absolute confidence.

"Really?"

Luo Lei nodded firmly.

"I'll help you control the Kyubi. From now on, no one in this village will dare to treat you with hostility. You will be the strongest woman in Konoha, and there will be no place for fear."

Kushina looked at him intently, surprised by his statement, yet still doubtful.

"Control the Kyubi?" she repeated incredulously. "How could I do that? It's... it's a terrifying fox."

Luo Lei gently squeezed her hand, "That bastard is just a tsundere fox," he said with a smile.

His confidence was contagious. After a few seconds of reflection, Kushina finally nodded, determined.

"Alright. I trust you."

With a gesture, Luo Lei indicated that she release the seal. Kushina, her heart pounding, focused. Slowly, a red, malevolent chakra began to emanate from her body.

.....

In the illusory space inside Kushina, a massive iron gate sealed with powerful inscriptions blocked the Kyubi's exit.

Behind the gate, Kurama, the gigantic nine-tailed beast, lay with an expression mixed with boredom and frustration.

"When will another monster like Madara or Hashirama appear?" he murmured, recalling how he had been ruthlessly crushed. However, a spark of indignation appeared in his gaze, "I am the Nine-Tails! No one should handle me at will..."

Suddenly, Kurama felt something. He lifted his head, his red eyes focusing on Kushina, who was now standing on the other side of the gate.

"How dare you come here, little brat?" he roared, slamming the gate with his claw. The dark chakra he released made the seal inscriptions tremble as if they were about to collapse.

However, to his surprise, Kushina didn't back down or show fear. Instead, she extended her hand and began to tear away the seal calmly.

"What...?!"

Kurama was speechless, his eyes widening as he saw the seal begin to give way.

Wait a minute.....

If the seal is torn off, doesn't that mean.....?

As if thinking of something, he stretched out his claws and struck the iron gate, only to hear a click.

When the seal finally broke, the gate opened with a loud creak, revealing the Kyubi completely free. Kurama, initially prepared to devour her, stopped when he heard Kushina's words.

"Stinky fox, isn't it boring to be locked in there all day?" she said confidently, putting her hands on her hips. "Don't worry. If you behave, I'll let you out daily. But if you misbehave..." she raised her fist threateningly "I'll make you know what true pain is!"

"..."

Looking at Kushina, who seemed to be talking to a pet, Kurama, who was originally very sad, had an angry face.

She was a proud tailed beast, with thousands of years of life, not a pet.

"RRRROOOOAAAARRR!!"

"YOU BRAT, YOU'RE DEAD...!"

The next moment, he roared and rushed out of the gate, opening his mouth wide.
