He had touched and held them all before, but watching the three of them play around and catch glimpses of exposed skin was a different kind of thrill.
Konan ate quietly, watching Tsunade and the others fool around without joining in.
Konan had always been reserved. Around strangers, she rarely even smiled.
Over the next few days, Uchiha Yin lost himself in their tender company. Kushina, too, finally fell into his clutches, just as she had wished.
Even Mikoto and Tsunade together had failed to topple the Naruto World's mightiest weapon. Now Uchiha Yin unleashed his spear's frenzied 999-hit combo on Kushina. She met it again and again, like a mantis trying to stop a cart, only to be overwhelmed each time. In the end, she suffered a crushing defeat.
The blade went in white and came out red. Then a red blade went in and came out red. A red blade went in and came out red...
Huh? Why was every blade red after the first time?
Ahem.
Even someone as purehearted as Uchiha Yin knew why.
After more than an hour, Kushina could take no more. At last, she understood why Mikoto and Tsunade had needed to join forces against Uchiha Yin.
Finally, moved by Kushina's plaintive cries, which sounded sorrowful enough to bring anyone to tears, Uchiha Yin showed her mercy.
"Yin, you're a complete bastard." Kushina bit his neck without hesitation, just as she had when they first met.
Her indignant cry echoed through the room.
"Ow, ow, ow! Are you part dog?" Uchiha Yin hurriedly pulled Kushina away.
"I'll bite you to death! I'll bite you to death!" Kushina lunged at him, claws bared.
"So the Uzumaki Clan really does have remarkable stamina. Take another 999-hit combo!" Uchiha Yin fired up and charged back in.
