V.3 Chapter 6

A few days had passed since the time Yukan had slaughtered the Kiri army.

His name had spread over even more and even the big villages had started fearing him, especially Kirigakure.

The citizens of Konoha had a lot of respect for Yukan in their hearts.

Kirigakure had withdrawn from the war and Ao had become an acting Mizukage until the next one would be instituted.

-In the evening, in Konoha-

The orange sky looked beautiful and so did the village beneath it. The families went to the parks and couples sat together on the lakeside.

Kushina carried vegetables for her dinner and walked home.

While going, she saw many couples walking hand-in-hand and smiling at each other.

"When will he come back?? I heard about the fight with the Kiri army, is he alright?..." Kushina asked herself in a lonely voice.

Kushina lived in Yukan's house ever since he had gone to war.

She entered the house and turned the lights on. The house looked very gloomy and lonely.

"*Sigh* Today was our third anniversary… I should just make some instant ramen and watch a movie." Kushina said and walked inside.

The moment she walked in further, she noticed a pair of shoes she had previously ignored in front of her eyes.

'Fuck, am I getting robbed? This is a war period, well, figures.' Kushina said in her mind.

She hurriedly picked up a wooden stick near her and walked inside. She saw some movement in the kitchen and so, she walked in that direction.

She stood in front of the kitchen door. After waiting for a while, she saw that the door was opening.

'This is my chance.' Kushina said and swung the stick with her full force the moment a figure appeared from the kitchen.

She felt that she hit something and when the figure got nearer, she recognized who it was.

'Holy Fuck.'

Kushina saw that it was Yukan and that she hit him in the head. Not only that, but Yukan had also fainted and a small red bump quickly appeared on his forehead.

She somehow dragged the 165 pounds weighing Yukan to the nearest room and hurriedly brought an ice pack.

"Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, my headaches," Yukan said as he sat up on the bed without knowing the situation.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you," Kushina said in an apologetic voice.

"Haizz, a man cannot even walk in his house safely," Yukan said as if he was a sage having lived for 100 years and had knowledge about everything.

"Well, why didn't you tell me you were coming back to stay?" Kushina said a little angrily.

"Duh, this is my house, why would I tell someone?" Yukan said and got up from the bed.

"...Really?"

"I-I mean, it is your house only, my lady. Do you wish this humble servant to be of any more service?"

"Haha, anyways, are you alright?" Kushina asked worriedly, quitting her previously joking tone.

"Of course, this is nothing," Yukan replied. He had assumed that Kushina was asking him about the injury she had inflicted on him.

"Not this, I mean do you have any injury from the battlefield? Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere?"

"Of course, it doe- No, it does hurt a lot. Right here, it is a very grievous injury and cannot be healed soon. It makes me unable to move." Yukan said as he put his hand on the left part of his chest.

Kushina got up worriedly and supported Yukan, believing his bullsh- I mean, words.

"What is wrong?" Kushina asked.

Yukan now put all his weight onto Kushina's shoulder to make her believe his act.

"Right here, in mah heart."

Kushina suddenly stopped supporting Yukan and stepped in front, making Yukan almost fall.

"Come on, let's eat dinner," Kushina said leaving the room.

-A dinner and movie later-

Yukan and Kushina sat in the bed, cuddling with each other.

"By the way, happy anniversary, hon." Yukan kissed Kushina's cheek and wished her.

"Thank you, to you too." Kushina also kissed in exchange.

"So, am I getting any other gift than this red bump?" Yukan asked while pointing to his forehead and closing in the distance between their lips.

"I don't have a-anything right now. What do y-you want?" Kushina asked, though she knew what it was, she intentionally asked.

Yukan gave no reply and just kissed Kushina.

He then took a thin sheet of cloth and covered himself and Kushina with it as they proceeded to exchange anniversary gifts for the whole night.
