Naruto Birdcage

When Makoto stepped out of Tsunade's bedroom, he saw Shizune sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for him.

Since Makoto had isolated the sounds from inside, Shizune hadn't heard anything.

Seeing him come out, she immediately stood up and approached him.

"Your Majesty." She bowed respectfully.

"Mm."

Makoto responded casually and was about to leave.

"Your Majesty." Shizune quickly called out again, stopping him.

"What is it?"

"It's... about Lady Tsunade." She hesitated before speaking.

"Is Lady Tsunade from this world... alright?"

Seeing the worry on her face, Makoto gently patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't worry, she's fine. When the two Tsunades switch back again, it'll be as if she just had a short nap."

Hearing his words firsthand, Shizune finally relaxed completely, a smile appearing on her face.

"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Tsunade is quite exhausted, so don't disturb her."

"Safe travels, Your Majesty."

In the Bedroom.

Tsunade slumped to the floor, her entire body drained of strength.

Her clothes remained intact, and Makoto hadn't truly violated her—but what he did was even more unbearable.

Before leaving, he told her that if she wanted to stay in this world, she could—but the price was that she could be subjected to his abuse at any time, anywhere.

Tsunade no longer wanted to stay.

At this moment, it felt like she had just experienced a nightmare.

She wished that when she opened her eyes, she would be back in her own world—where Shizune would complain about her drinking again, where that brat Naruto would be noisily calling her "Granny Tsunade"…

But reality wasn't a dream.

What should she do next? What about tomorrow…?

For the first time, she felt lost.

As the Fifth Hokage, she had faced even an enemy as terrifying as Uchiha Madara without fear, holding steadfast to her beliefs.

But Hyuga Makoto was a demon!

He was an even more terrifying demon than Uchiha Madara, more terrifying than Otsutsuki Kaguya!

Why had someone like him become the Hokage of Konoha?

How had he managed to unify the world?!

Tsunade gritted her teeth, her thoughts seething with rage.

Knock, knock!

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

"Lady Tsunade, have you gone to bed yet?" Shizune's voice came from outside.

Tsunade silently sat up from the floor.

"Would you like to take a bath before resting? If so, I'll prepare some hot water for you."

"...Alright, thank you, Shizune."

Forcing her voice to remain calm, Tsunade responded.

She placed a hand on the bed to support herself as she tried to stand up.

Jingle—

The sudden chime of a bell made her entire body freeze, her face turning pale, then darkening with fury.

That damned bastard—I must kill him!

As she seethed with hatred, her hand slowly reached into the waistband of her pants.

.............

After returning home, Makoto once again checked the soul coordinate techniques on everyone to ensure there were no issues.

Tsunade's situation had lasted for several days already, which meant that soul traversal could persist in this world for an extended period.

As for outsiders, Makoto didn't particularly care, but he did not want anything to happen to the people in his household.

Even if something did occur, as long as things returned to normal within a day or two, he could simply treat it as a brief visit from the other world's souls—nothing worth worrying about.

That night, Makoto went to Kushina's room.

After two nights without sleeping together, her enthusiasm took him by surprise.

The two of them went at it until very late, and any frustration Makoto had built up from dealing with Tsunade was completely vented.

Afterward, Makoto held Kushina in his arms and asked, "Why are you so proactive today? Have you been lonely since I haven't been with you for a while?"

Kushina curled up obediently in his embrace, resting her head on his arm, her face pressed against his chest.

"...Did I? I feel like I'm just the same as usual."

Makoto pinched her cheek with a chuckle. "Do you think I don't know how you usually are? Tonight, you were like a little chili pepper."

To his surprise, Kushina suddenly took one of his fingers into her mouth.

Even in the darkness without the lights on, Makoto could clearly see her large, shimmering eyes gazing up at him—so alluring, so seductive.

In an instant, the fire that had just died down within him flared up again.

Feeling his reaction, Kushina giggled softly. "Am I making you unhappy like this?"

Makoto didn't answer with words—he simply lowered his head and sealed her lips with a deep kiss.

Among the five women in the house, Kushina was the most beautiful.

Her striking red hair always made her stand out, and even after living together for so long, Makoto still found himself captivated by her beauty time and time again.

That was why, despite knowing that her heart didn't truly belong to him, he still kept her in his home, treated her as his woman, and let her form bonds with Ayari and the others as sisters.

Kushina's beauty had ensnared Makoto completely.

Even though he had once ravaged her mercilessly, he still couldn't get enough of her.

After another bout of intense passion, Kushina lay in the darkness, panting softly as she gazed at him.

"Makoto…"

"…"

"Do you think our future will always be like this?"

Makoto let out a chuckle. "What, have you fallen in love with me?"

Love? Even Makoto himself found that hard to believe.

At most, Kushina had simply resigned herself to her fate.

In response, Kushina slid her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

The two of them remained tightly pressed together, feeling each other's heartbeat.

Makoto suddenly felt a strange stir in his chest and softly called out, "Kushina?"

"..."

Silence stretched in the darkness for a long while before he finally heard her voice again.

"Makoto, my everything… belongs to you."

After speaking, the woman in his arms seemed to press even closer to him.

Her body was burning hot—Makoto had never felt such warmth from Kushina before.

But now, he could feel it.

He could feel her complete surrender.

Makoto tightened his embrace around her and said, "What foolish words. You've always belonged to me."

Lying in his arms, Kushina felt a peace and security she had never experienced before.

Makoto was right—she had always belonged to him.

Her body, her life.

Before, she could still stubbornly tell herself that at least her heart didn't belong to him.

But now, she didn't want to think about the past anymore.

She didn't want to think about the people from before either…

Those memories brought her nothing now—nothing but pain.

She had once convinced herself that everything she did was for Naruto.

That it was for the sake of giving him a happy family, for him to grow up safe and happy.

Now, Naruto was indeed growing up happily.

Everything he needed, Makoto had given him.

So why was she still here, hesitating, holding onto pointless pride?

Didn't she need all of this too?

Everyone in this household—Ayari, Mikoto, and the others—had always treated her as family.

Neji, Sasuke, and Hinata all called her "Mom."

Everything she had once wished for…

No, she no longer had a past.

All she had was the present—and the future.
