Since the academic exams had already begun.
Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina stayed on the rooftop until the first exam ended before heading back down.
The two Shadow Clones Gojo Yoru had used as cover had already secretly gone somewhere deserted and dispersed after the exam ended.
Watching Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina enter from the back of the classroom, this time in person,
the last sliver of fantasy in Namikaze Minato's heart finally went out completely.
Just as he had felt before, he no longer had even the slightest hope of gaining Uzumaki Kushina's favor.
Because the way she looked at Gojo Yoru had changed drastically.
The old Uzumaki Kushina had often either stolen glances at Gojo Yoru or stared directly at him without hiding it.
But now, there was an unfamiliar glimmer in the girl's dark blue eyes.
Minato was no stranger to that gaze that seemed to shine from within. He had seen it on many people who pursued him.
He had even had that same glimmer when he first saw Uzumaki Kushina.
It was a look only someone seeing the person they liked—or someone whose eyes were filled with love—would have.
Perhaps... they had already made their relationship official.
A bitter smile unconsciously appeared on Namikaze Minato's lips, and regret rose in his heart for who knew how many times.
It was still the same question: what if...
What if, back then last year, he had been the first to stand up and show Uzumaki Kushina kindness? Would the person sitting beside her now have been him?
Little did he know that even if he had done that, it would not have worked as well as it had for Gojo Yoru.
In this 2D World, whether Canon or Doujin, indecisive and shy protagonists could only become Cuckolds when faced with proactive, thick-skinned NTR Warriors.
Gojo Yoru did not know what Namikaze Minato was thinking. Even if he had known, he would not have secretly laughed like he used to.
Because he no longer saw Namikaze Minato as an opponent, whether in terms of strength or romance.
Before the academic exams for first through fifth grade had ended, the sixth grade graduation assessment had already concluded.
He wondered whether the graduation assessment of this era would be as simple as it was in the Original Work.
That afternoon, the practical exam also ended smoothly.
This time, Gojo Yoru was not matched against Namikaze Minato or Uzumaki Kushina. He ended the final pseudo-unrestricted examination by instantly defeating his opponent.
As they walked out of the school together, Gojo Yoru suddenly said to Uzumaki Kushina, "Tomato-Nai, don't go back yet. Come to my house first."
"Sure."
Uzumaki Kushina nodded, thinking Gojo Yoru was going to guide her Nature Transformation training again.
As for the Rasengan, Uzumaki Kushina had already learned it two months ago, at the end of January.
The Rasengan's three stages of training had awakened Uzumaki Kushina's bloodline talent, and her Chakra control was improving almost every day.
Combined with her enormous Chakra reserves, she not only had plenty of opportunities to try, but could also create Shadow Clones to assist her training.
By comparison, back then Gojo Yoru could only try condensing the Rasengan a few times a day. If he failed, he had to rest and recover his Chakra, much less create Shadow Clones to help himself.
Their training speeds were not comparable at all. This was pure talent suppression.
"Yoru, which Nature Transformation are we training today?"
The moment they arrived at Gojo Yoru's house, Uzumaki Kushina asked impatiently.
As long as she was with Gojo Yoru, even training was fun.
"We're not training Nature Transformation today. I'm taking you somewhere."
Gojo Yoru took Uzumaki Kushina's small hand and led her to the storage room on the first floor.
Under Uzumaki Kushina's blushing gaze, Gojo Yoru lifted the tatami mat, revealing the entrance to a dark basement.
"This is..."
Uzumaki Kushina, who had been extremely shy and had even let her thoughts run wild, slightly parted her red lips.
"I'll go down first. Come down once there's light."
After saying that, Gojo Yoru went downstairs.
Before long, candlelight appeared in the dark entrance below.
Uzumaki Kushina immediately went down after him.
When she saw the basement clearly—the shelves piled with scrolls and books, as well as locked boxes—she instantly understood something.
Still, Uzumaki Kushina knowingly asked, "Yoru, is this your family's treasure vault?"
"Yeah. These are all the Gojo Family's inheritances."
Gojo Yoru walked to a bookshelf, patted the scrolls on it, and smiled at Uzumaki Kushina. "I don't know whether you can learn the Senju Clan's Secret Techniques and ninjutsu while living in the First Hokage's home, but while training Nature Transformation, I noticed you hadn't learned the Five Element Ninjutsu."
"The Rasengan alone won't be enough to deal with Monsters that are like natural disasters."
Gojo Yoru picked up a scroll and waved it at Uzumaki Kushina, who was staring blankly at him again. "So next, I'm going to expand your arsenal."
Uzumaki Kushina's eyes grew moist again. The tears she had shed today were almost catching up to the day she witnessed the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools.
But unlike the grief and despair of that day, Uzumaki Kushina's tears now were filled with joy and gratitude.
Because she realized that Gojo Yoru's feelings for her were just as passionate.
Otherwise, the moment he learned about the Jinchuriki, he would not have immediately thought about helping her become stronger.
To expand her arsenal, he had even brought her to his family's Inheritance Ground.
That care and their shared effort made Uzumaki Kushina feel that becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki did not seem like such a bad thing.
Lady Mito, you were right! As long as I find what is truly precious in my heart, even if I become a container for a Tailed Beast, I can still find happiness.
Uzumaki Kushina smiled brightly at Gojo Yoru. "All right, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Heh... don't get happy too soon. Be prepared for hellish training this vacation."
Gojo Yoru did not know how much he would get in return for moving a girl.
Nor did he know what consequences would result from giving away his family's foundation without reservation.
But he found out the very next day.
"Th-This is?"
Pointing at the gigantic scroll before him, which was as tall as Uzumaki Kushina, Gojo Yoru was rarely left dumbfounded.
"This is the Scroll of Sealing from our Hidden Whirlpool Village."
With her hands on her hips, Uzumaki Kushina said matter-of-factly, "You let me see your family's inheritances, so of course I have to show something too. You can read this scroll however you like. This vacation, you teach me ninjutsu, and I'll teach you Fuinjutsu!"
Staring blankly at Uzumaki Kushina, Gojo Yoru felt exactly as she had yesterday. The girl before him seemed to be radiating dazzling golden light.
It was the golden light of money—the glow of a Rich Lady!
If not for the fact that he still had his reason, and feared leaving behind embarrassing history that would get him mocked for life, Gojo Yoru would have wanted to pounce on Uzumaki Kushina and hug her thigh.
He had only wanted the Yin Seal. He had never expected to learn all of the Uzumaki Clan's Fuinjutsu from Uzumaki Kushina like Namikaze Minato had in the Original Work.
Yet unexpectedly, this impulsive Rich Lady had actually brought over the Uzumaki Clan's Scroll of Sealing.
Uzumaki Mito and the Anbu representing Sarutobi Hiruzen's will had not stopped her either. Wasn't that far too unbelievable?
At that moment, Gojo Yoru could not help secretly feeling pleased with his own charm.
According to the information leaked by Minato, Uzumaki Kushina had taught him Fuinjutsu one technique at a time until they married.
But now, Uzumaki Kushina had brought the entire scroll before Gojo Yoru.
This treatment that surpassed the Original Work gave Gojo Yoru a deep sense of accomplishment.
As expected, an NTR Warrior who knew the plot and understood the characters' personalities was invincible!
