By the river not far from home.
Liuyun, his face bruised and swollen from a beating, was pointing at a large tree and explaining to Kushina how to "climb trees."
Kushina no longer believed his nonsense. Rather than half-believing him and listening to him keep fooling her, she might as well beat him up and vent her anger...
