The moonlight streamed in from outside.
A figure with their back to her opened the tent window.
But the tent door was still tightly closed. How did that figure get in?
With the moonlight shining through, Kushina finally saw the figure's face clearly.
"Seiji?"
Kushina asked in confusion.
As the two met, the eternally bright moon in the sky showered its light upon the earth.
The moonlight spilled onto the earth, transforming it into a world draped in silver.
In the large camp of Konoha, there was a ninja deep in thought, gazing at the moon.
Will Kushina like my gift?
Minato Namikaze weighed the gift in his hand, as if only then could he feel a little more at ease.
It is currently the height of summer.
It was also July 9th.
Tomorrow will be July 10th, which is Kushina's birthday.
Regarding the matter of giving gifts, Minato Namikaze had given Kushina a gift before.
However, as they grew older and their feelings for each other deepened, this behavior took on a different hue.
Especially now, as the war nears its end and could end at any moment, Minato Namikaze is even more tense.
After the war, a peaceful period of population explosion will inevitably follow.
Did Kushina and he end up together?
Minato Namikaze thought of all the things that had happened in the past.
I vaguely remember that it was under a similar moonlit night back then.
He picked up Kushina's red hair, defeated the Cloud Village ninja, and returned Kushina to her.
That night's red hair became the red thread of fate binding his heart.
Bang.
Just as Minato Namikaze was lost in the past, a tall man bumped into his back.
Minato Namikaze was startled and turned around to see Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's expression was lewd, and he smelled damp, as if he had been hiding somewhere.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you went to hide in the bathhouse again?"
Namikaze Minato spoke.
"What do you mean by peeping? Keep your voice down, Minato."
Jiraiya extended his index finger and made a shushing gesture.
I've said it so many times, this is called gathering material!
Without source material, how could "Intimate Paradise" have resonated with so many young people and become a bestseller?
The income from writing immediately filled Jiraiya's pockets.
He discovered that this thing could make money much faster than ordinary ninjas.
"Lady Tsunade would be unhappy if she found out."
Minato Namikaze was helpless.
He didn't know why Jiraiya-sensei had such a quirk.
It's obvious to everyone that Jiraiya has feelings for Tsunade.
He doesn't care about his image at all. Which woman would like a man like that?
"It didn't work out again, why is she unhappy?"
When this was mentioned, Jiraiya waved his hand somewhat unhappily.
I don't know whose suggestion it was, but they actually had a female ninja skilled in sensory ninjutsu guarding the area near the bathhouse, to prevent male ninjas from accidentally wandering in or spying on the place.
"By the way, what's this?"
Jiraiya, with his sharp eyes, spotted the gift box that Minato Namikaze was carrying.
The exquisite packaging clearly indicates it's a gift intended for a woman.
"Tonight is Kushina's birthday, so I wanted to give her a gift as soon as possible."
Minato Namikaze opened his mouth somewhat shyly.
He's still a bit naive when it comes to matters of the heart.
"Hmm, it seems to be past eleven o'clock now."
Jiraiya pulled a watch from his pocket; the hands on the watch were about to reach twelve o'clock.
A new day is about to begin.
"Come on, kid."
Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the back with satisfaction, gave him a thumbs-up, and made an encouraging gesture.
"I will, Jiraiya-sensei."
Minato Namikaze nodded seriously.
Looking at the pocket watch in his hand with Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze strode towards Kushina when it was just a few minutes before midnight.
Kushina would definitely love this gift.
Minato Namikaze thought to himself.
…………
"Kiyoshi, did you sense the changes in Kurama?"
Kushina was surprised.
She had just had a nightmare because of the Nine-Tails, and Kiyoshi rushed here.
This level of perception is simply terrifying.
No, it's because of something else.
Qingsi shook his head.
"another thing?"
Kushina murmured.
She looked at Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi, under the moonlight, wore a traditional Uchiha robe.
His tall figure, swaying in the evening breeze, revealed the outline of his muscles.
Add to that Kiyoshi's perfectly handsome, chiseled face, brimming with masculinity, and Kushina couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.
Men, or males.
Such an aura is a powerful weapon against her, who is full of vitality and energy.
"Yes."
Qingsi nodded.
He waited a moment before speaking:
"It's a new day now, and today is your birthday."
Kiyoshi took out a necklace.
Kushina was stunned.
Why did Kiyoshi come to her house in the middle of the night to celebrate her birthday?
It has to be said that this way of making an entrance was quite unique, and it was the first time Kushina had ever encountered it.
She turned her head and saw a small clock hanging on the tent, which showed a few tenths of a second.
A watch is an essential tool for every ninja.
This is because it can prevent delays in mission creation.
Every minute and every second brings drastically different results.
"So...beautiful."
Kushina looked over and saw that the necklace in Kiyoshi's hand was the color of jade.
She had seen this style before.
The necklace that Tsunade wears every day is this style.
Every day, it sways gently with two thick mounds of fat.
"Thank you."
Kushina expressed her gratitude.
She has few social connections, so naturally very few people would give her a birthday gift.
Items like gemstones and necklaces are even rarer.
Since everyone is a ninja, the gifts they give tend to be more practical.
But what girl doesn't like romance and rituals?
The innocent-minded Kushina yearns for fairytale love stories more than the average female ninja.
The kind-hearted princess will eventually meet the prince who will protect her.
"Let me put it on for you."
Kiyoshi pulled the bone chain open.
His bones were of excellent quality, pure white, and difficult to tell that they were bones.
"it is good……"
Kushina nodded gently, tucking her red hair to one side, revealing her fair neck.
A strand of hair slipped from beside her ear and gently rested on Kushina's delicate collarbone.
Kiyoshi stepped forward, his expression bearing a warm and welcoming smile.
He gently reached out and slipped his hand under Kushina's red hair, placing the jade necklace on her chest.
The cold touch resonated in Kushina's heart.
But instead of feeling cold, she felt a burning sensation.
Kiyoshi's movements were very proper; he did not touch anything he shouldn't have.
But the breath from the back of her neck and the touch of fingers caressing her collarbone caused Kushina to feel something different.
Kiyoshi was the first to engage in such an intimate act.
Even Minato Namikaze, who had the best relationship with him, followed the rules and dared not overstep them in the slightest.
Minato Namikaze, with his gentle and warm personality, was destined to be an honest and dutiful man.
Kiyoshi's audacious act would be something Minato Namikaze, who was often scolded by his mother as a child, would never have done.
His sense of morality would bind him.
"Kushina, did I hurt you?"
Kiyoshi pulled the bone chain up around his neck.
"No no."
Hearing Kiyoshi's concerned tone, Kushina felt a little guilty.
