Kushina didn't know what to say anymore.
"Ren… what exactly is going on now?" she asked with a bitter expression.
Mikoto sighed softly. "Ah, I think I've already guessed." She gave Ren a soft, gentle look. "Ren didn't tell because of you."
"Because of ?" Kushina pointed to herself.
Seeing her so dazed, Mikoto chuckled lightly, pulled her over to lean against Ren's left side, and then leaned on his right side herself. She blinked and t Kushina's gaze.
"Do you understand? If you had known back then that Ren-kun and I would be together, Kushina, you wouldn't have had the courage to speak your heart in the end, right?"
"..."
At that mont, Kushina had an epiphany. She looked up at Ren in disbelief. "You… you did this on purpose?"
Seeing that the cat was out of the bag, Ren boldly wrapped his arms around both of their waists. He didn't answer directly, but instead smirked. "Now Kushina's past and future are both mine, right?"
"You scoundrel…" Kushina finally understood. He was a philanderer! She roared and swung a powerful punch at his face.
Ren didn't dodge, only a faint smile hung on his lips.
Whoosh!
Her delicate fist stopped directly in front of his eyes. A gust of wind ruffled his hair, but he remained relaxed.
Kushina didn't understand. "Why didn't you dodge?"
"I don't think Kushina would bear to hit ."
The frankness in his clear voice struck her heart. Her fist and her entire being instantly softened. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her head in his chest and muttering unhappily, "You really are a scoundrel."
This scene made Mikoto cover her mouth and chuckle.
Ren was in a loving embrace.
Exusiai was already dumbfounded. "There's such a move?"
"Oh my, oh my~ I guessed right again," Tokisaki Kurumi's smile beca elegantly unrestrained. Everything was within her predictions.
"So fickle," Exusiai complained, sticking out her tongue.
"This is what a strong person does," Esdeath said, greatly admiring Ren's attitude. He didn't hide his greedy desires, confidently wanting everything.
After a brief mont of tenderness, Ren took so ti to transform the two of them.
The Redemption Angel's physique, the Disordered Clan, and Six Styles Haki were all basic.
He also used his newly acquired abilities. Through perfect control over genes, he strengthened them. For example, he made the recessive Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and the Byakugan coexist. Normally, their eyes would be regular, but they could change them at will.
With these abilities combined, below the Six Paths level, the two could be called invincible.
"Let's go to the Hokage Building first." He hadn't forgotten that Ch'en and the others were still there.
In the Hokage Building, Ch'en was giving Tsunade so policy suggestions, while Nami and Mui were bored. Furina was fascinated by so small trinkets from Konoha.
"Ren, you're back," Nami was the first to notice them.
"Resolved?" Tsunade asked.
"Aren't you confident with on the job?" Ren scanned everyone. "I'm going to restore this last tiline next, and everything can end."
The few who knew nodded seriously. Mikoto, who was unaware, didn't comnt. Otsutsuki Kaguya, without instructions, also remained silent.
Ren decisively adjusted the last tiline. In an instant, the tilines reassembled into a complete, single line.
Ti correction began.
Before the ti shifted, Ren handed nine small, controlled Tailed Beasts to Tsunade. "For a period in the future, you can use these to help you. They will obey your commands."
"..." The weight of the gift caused complex thoughts to arise in Tsunade's heart. "Thank you…" she could only utter as ti shifted.
Ti flowed like a kaleidoscope.
Konoha 64.
Under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage, Tsunade, various ninja clans integrated well among the populace, including the Uchiha. Konoha flourished, and the morale of other villages decreased after losing their Tailed Beasts.
With Konoha's unity and the revealed nine Tailed Beasts, the whole world beca well-behaved. So tried to infiltrate, but Konoha had two max-level Observation Haki masters—Kushina and Mikoto—who could easily ferret them out.
Since then, no one dared to challenge Konoha's power again.
"Is this Konoha? It's changed so much!" Furina was surprised by its prosperity.
"After all, thirteen years have passed," Nami thought this was normal.
Ren's eyes flashed. "Let's go find Kushina and the others."
He teleported everyone to Kushina's house. Kushina and Mikoto were both there, drinking tea. As if sensing sothing, they looked up and saw the group appear.
They suppressed their excitent and smiled softly. "Long ti no see."
"You've worked hard," Ren responded.
For him, those thirteen years had passed in the blink of an eye. But for them, it was truly thirteen years of waiting. Although their faces made them look like they were in their early twenties—thanks to the ti marks Ren had left on them—the weight of that ti still existed in their hearts.
