Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Uchiha Kakuyama kissed Xiangling's forehead and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Xiangling. You were with me first. When you were with me, Xiao Xianglin was just a little girl. Besides, little girls' likes change quickly. She might move on to someone else in a few days. You'll have to keep an eye on her then."

Hearing Qiu Shanjun's comforting words, Xiangling felt much better and thought to herself:

"My Karin is smart and gentle. Whoever marries my Karin will be very lucky."

Uchiha Qiushan neither objected to nor responded to Xiangling's words; he decided to let things take their natural course.

Looking at the enthusiastic Xiangling, Uchiha Qiushan reached out and stroked her pretty face, whispering in her ear:

"Sister Xiangling, actually you're not that old yet. How about I help you out and we have another one?"

The Uzumaki clan is renowned for its immense vitality and longevity. At Uzumaki Kaoru's current age, she is at the peak of her womanhood. Given that she possesses Uzumaki clan blood, it's safe to say that any physical contact without any precautions will result in a 100% chance of pregnancy.

If it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Karin had to take care of Karin and Naruto, and therefore took precautions when she was with Uchiha Kyuuyama, otherwise, given how many times Uchiha Kyuuyama had been with her, Uzumaki Karin would have already borne fruit and achieved great success, even surpassing Tsunade.

When Uzumaki Karin heard Qiu Shanjun's words, she came to her senses. Now that Karin and Naruto had become ninjas, her responsibilities had been relieved. Hearing Qiu Shanjun's request again made Karin feel a sudden flutter in her heart.

What could be more romantic than having a child with the one you love? This child is the continuation of their lives and love.

Raising a child with the one you love makes a life complete.

So, Xiangling, who was already smitten, did something out of character. In Qiu Shanjun's arms, she lowered her head slightly and softly hummed in agreement, almost so softly that Qiu Shanjun, who was so close to her, could not hear her.

Uchiha Qiushan lowered his head, looking at Xiangling who was still shyly standing there. He gently cupped her pretty face, looked at her face to face, and then, under the gaze of Xiangling, whose face was flushed, Qiushan slowly leaned in and slowly opened his mouth slightly to kiss Xiangling's jelly-like lips.

However, just as Uchiha Kakuzan had aroused Xiangling to the point of radiant pleasure and lustful eyes, he slowly stopped his actions.

Xiangling was also very puzzled by Qiu Shanjun's sudden stop. She knew Qiu Shanjun quite well. Every time she was with Qiu Shanjun, he would eagerly devour her and savor her slowly.

The sturdy wooden bed in Xiangling's house was reinforced by Qiushan-jun using Wood Release. It's no exaggeration to say that even if Pain came to Konoha and used Super Shinra Tensei, even if Xiangling's house collapsed, her wooden bed would definitely not break.

Chapter 353 Kushina's Awakening

Chapter 353 Kushina's Awakening

Therefore, Xiangling looked up at Qiu Shanjun with some confusion at his unusual behavior, wondering what had happened.

Uchiha Kakuzan, of course, wouldn't refuse the sweet fruit that was offered to him by Xiangling.

However, as the saying goes, appropriate patience is for the sake of better gains.

Uchiha Kakuyama, holding the limp Xiangling in his arms, gently pinched her nose with a hint of helplessness and reminded her:

"Sister Xiangling, have you forgotten? I just revived Kushina. Let's deal with her situation first."

Upon hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, Xiangling awkwardly smoothed her slightly damp red hair. Her eyes, which had held a hint of spring fever, cleared, and she remarked with a sigh:

"Indeed, Shinjina has just been resurrected, and we don't know how she is doing yet. We can't let her remain unconscious for too long, otherwise it might have a negative impact on her."

Kaoru Uzumaki was also very happy about Kushina's resurrection, as the two were childhood playmates.

After the Uzumaki clan's Land of Whirlpools was wiped out, and with very few members of the Uzumaki clan left, Kushina was essentially one of the few remaining relatives in the world.

Therefore, when Qiushan-kun said he wanted to deal with Kushina's matter, Uzumaki Kaoru had no objections. On the contrary, she wanted to participate with Qiushan-kun.

Uchiha Qiushan ruffled Xiangling's hair with a hint of helplessness. Under her expectant gaze, Qiushan-kun released his arms from her.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Shan-jun went to the open space next to him, and like Hashirama Senju, clapped his hands together, shouting for whatever he wanted to come to life.

"Wood Release - Single Pillar Clan Technique"

As Uchiha Kakuzan's skill and strength increased, the process of forming hand seals could be largely ignored with this simple Wood Release technique.

After using Yamato's Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique, Uchiha Kakuzan brought Kaoru directly to this newly created room.

With a casual wave of Qiu Shanjun's hand, torches appeared in every corner of the dimly lit room, illuminating the entire space.

After glancing at the anxious-looking Xiangling, Uchiha Kakuyama casually summoned Kushina, who was still unconscious.

Seeing that Kushina looked like she was about to fall, Kaoru Uzumaki rushed over and caught her steadily.

After feeling Kushina's warm body and steady breathing, Kaoru Uzumaki finally felt relieved.

At this moment, Kushina, who was still unconscious, had gentle and lustrous red hair, a pretty face, long eyelashes, and rosy lips. She was a gentle and beautiful woman, completely different from the rumored "Red Hot Chili Pepper".

After carefully examining her childhood playmate, Uzumaki Karin turned her gaze to Uchiha Okayama.

Kushina was under the influence of Qiushan-kun's Rinnegan genjutsu, which no one else could break, so they had to wake her from her coma.

Uchiha Kakuzan approached Kaoru and took Kushina from her arms.

Kushina is currently only in a coma, but she is not harmless.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina no longer possesses the Nine-Tails.

However, as a Jinchūriki who has spent countless years living with the Tailed Beasts, using the Nine-Tails' chakra is still a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, once Kushina lost the burden of the Nine-Tails, it meant that she no longer needed to divert a large amount of her chakra to suppress it.

With Kushina's current chakra reserves, she far surpasses that of a normal Kage-level shinobi, making her practically a small-scale tailed beast.

Moreover, as a master of sealing techniques and possessing a massive amount of chakra, Kushina can now be considered a nemesis of tailed beasts.

If any of the tailed beasts were to offend Kushina, she would likely defeat them in a single encounter.

Therefore, Kushina is now essentially a human-shaped tailed beast, and given her extremely unstable emotions, Uchiha Kakuyama doesn't want her to wake up in Kaoru's arms.

Feeling the warmth of the lovely girl in his arms and her curvaceous figure, Uchiha Kakuyama felt a slight itch in his heart.

Qiu Shanjun was very clear that if Xiangling hadn't been by his side, he might have lowered his moral standards in a moment of weakness.

Uchiha Kakuyama held his breath, banishing all other thoughts from his mind, and focused intently on making a hand seal towards Kushina.

"Illusion - Dispel"

As Uchiha Kakuyama made his move, Kushina, who had always been seen as Sleeping Beauty, finally stirred.

Kushina frowned slightly, and then let out a soft hum.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of Sister Xiangling and Mr. Qiushan, Xin Jiuna slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful, autumn-like eyes.

The first thing Kushina did after opening her eyes was to anxiously look around while rubbing her lower abdomen. (In Kushina's memory, she was pierced through the body by the Nine-Tails' giant claws and died along with the Fourth Hokage after seeing the newborn baby Naruto.)

Therefore, in the eyes of Kushina, who had just woken up, it was incredible that she, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who had had the Nine-Tails extracted, had survived.

So, Minato Namikaze, who is now the Fourth Hokage, might also have a chance to survive.

However, to Kushina's disappointment, even after she had looked around, she still couldn't find that familiar figure.

Finally, after looking around, Kushina finally focused her attention on Okayama-kun.

With a slight movement, Kushina nimbly jumped off Qiushan-kun, looking at him curiously.

Where is this place? And who are you?

Then, Kushina looked at their clothes again and said:

"You two aren't from Konoha, are you? Why did you bring me here? And why am I still alive?"

As the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki, Kushina was well aware of the predetermined fate of a Jinchūriki after the Tailed Beast was extracted.

Before Uchiha Kakuzan could answer her question, Xiangling, who had been standing next to him for a long time, rushed towards her.

Before the two could react, Xiangling had already hugged Kushina and started crying.

While crying, Xiangling explained to Kushina:

"Kushina, it's me, it's me, Kaoru, don't you remember me? Waaaaah..."

Upon hearing what Uzumaki Karin said, Kushina also realized what was going on. Her red hair, just like hers, was quite rare.

Chapter 354 The Reason for the Falsehood

Chapter 354

Kushina, doesn't look quite like her.

A word to the wise

Still somewhat dazed, Kushina snapped back to reality upon hearing the woman's call.

Feeling Uzumaki Karin clinging to her, completely defenseless and crying out, Kushina lowered her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her hand to lift the woman's hair in her arms to her eyes.

The hair before her was exactly the same as her own, fiery red, full of the powerful color symbolizing life force. Beneath its gentleness, it was slightly prickly, which made Kushina immediately recognize that the woman in front of her was probably an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, just like herself.

It's important to know that when Kushina first arrived in Konoha, even with the protection of the First Hokage's widow, Mito Uzumaki, she couldn't control the malicious brats. Kushina herself was mocked as a "tomato" because of the Uzumaki clan's distinctive red hair.

Later, when Kushina was captured, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, found her because of her remaining hair. Therefore, Kushina's red hair had a special meaning for her. As for Karin Uzumaki, who had the same hair, Kushina was very certain that the person in front of her was a member of the Uzumaki clan.

Immediately afterwards, Kushina recalled what this person had just said to her: Kaoru, Kaoru, Uzumaki Kaoru.

As the name was pieced together, a memory that Kushina had long forgotten was recalled, vivid in her mind, her voice and smile treasured deep within her memory.

It turns out that it wasn't forgetting, but rather consciously hiding these memories to avoid being hurt.

Kushina Uzumaki finally realized something, her hands trembling slightly as she tightly embraced the woman in her arms, asking hesitantly, "Xiangling, are you Xiangling? Uzumaki Xiangling? The little Maruko from Uncle Iron's house?"

Kushina's voice trembled slightly and was a little hoarse, yet it was full of expectation and hope.

As soon as Kushina finished speaking, Kaoru, who had been crying, stopped abruptly. Then, a small face filled with tears appeared before Kushina. Although Kushina hadn't seen Kaoru for a long time, she immediately recognized her upon seeing the crying face.

The person in front of me is my best friend from childhood, and also my little shadow—Uzumaki Kaori.

Originally, Kaoru Uzumaki was a bit younger than Kushina, and Kushina also had a rather fiery temper. So, when Kushina was with Kaoru, she played the role of an older sister, and Kaoru naturally became Kushina's little follower.

Looking at the familiar face before her, Kushina felt as if sand had gotten into her eyes. After cupping Xiangling's face in her hands, tears began to fall from Kushina's eyes, one by one, and the tears fell faster and faster. Finally, Kushina hugged Xiangling tightly and burst into tears.

Seeing the two people crying so sadly, Uchiha Kakuzan, who had been standing by, did not disturb them. In this room, apart from the two people crying, there was only the crackling sound of the torch burning.

After a long while, Kushina and Kaoru finally calmed down. Kushina wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes, looked at Kaoru in front of her, and took her hand, asking:

"Maruko, where did you go later? I asked others to inquire about the Land of Whirlpools, but unfortunately, there was no news at all."

Xiangling, holding Kushina's hand, glanced at Qiushan-kun and said:

"After the attack on the Land of Whirlpools, everyone scattered. When I woke up, I had already drifted to the shore. Later, hearing about the remnants of the whirlpools, I changed my name and drifted to a small ninja village to live. Later, I even had a child."

However, my special constitution was still discovered by the village chief. If it weren't for Qiu Shanjun, my daughter and I would have been sucked to death long ago.

Kushina knew, of course, what special physique Xiangling was talking about. It was a physique that only members of the Uzumaki clan could awaken. A single bite could heal the person's injuries and depleted chakra at the cost of some chakra.

However, although this physique is very useful, it is too cruel to the person who possesses it, so it is basically banned by the Vortex Clan. It will never be used unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Kushina felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of Xiangling's treatment. Looking at Xiangling, whose complexion was rosy and who was in good spirits, she knew she had escaped this nightmare, and hugged her tenderly, saying:

"It's alright, it's all over now."

Immediately afterwards, Kushina asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

"Xiangling, how did I survive? I remember dying under the claws of the Nine-Tailed Fox. How did I end up here unharmed?"

After saying these words, Kushina subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, as if the pain of being pierced by sharp claws still lingered in her body.

After hearing Kushina's question, Xiangling glanced at Qiushan-kun instinctively before replying:

"After being rescued by Qiushan-kun, I returned to Konoha Village with him."

Xiangling then added, as if suddenly realizing something:

"Kushina, I forgot to tell you, Kyuuyama-kun used to be a member of the Uchiha clan in Konoha Village."

Upon hearing Xiangling's words, Kushina sensitively grasped the meaning behind Xiangling's choice of words, "before," but since now was not the time to delve into those questions, she continued by asking:

"And then? What happened after you returned to Konoha with Qiushan-kun?"

Xiangling glanced at Qiu Shanjun again, her face slightly flushed, and said:

"After I followed Qiushan-kun to Konoha, I learned through Qiushan-kun's investigation that you had already arrived in Konoha and married the Fourth Hokage. However, I was too late. By the time I arrived in Konoha, you had already been dead for many years."

"Later, due to the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan broke with Konoha Village, and I later moved away from Konoha Village with Qiushan-kun."

However, later, due to Qiu Shanjun's increased strength, it seems he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. I don't really understand it, but I know he gained the ability to revive the dead, so I begged him to revive you.

Chapter 355 Uzumaki Kaori's Doubts

Chapter 355 Uzumaki Kaori's Doubts

Kushina Uzumaki was the wife of the Fourth Hokage during her lifetime, and was also a good friend of Mikoto Uchiha, the wife of the Uchiha clan's head.

Therefore, even though she wasn't very politically astute, she was aware of the long-standing conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan. Her husband, the Fourth Hokage, after taking over the position, worked hard to mediate the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan for the village's long-term development.

Moreover, at that time, it was clear to everyone that everything was turning for the better, and even the head of the Uchiha clan at the time was full of hope for the Fourth Hokage.

However, all of these things were completely crushed on the night of the Nine-Tails. Not only did the Fourth Hokage die, but the Uchiha clan also became the prime suspects, which led to the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village drifting further and further apart.

After hearing Xiangling's words, Kushina turned to look at Uchiha Kakuzan beside her and said:
