Kushina was soaked in sweat, as if she had just gone through a whole day of hellish training, but her body was not exhausted. Instead, she could gradually feel her strength becoming more abundant.
She gritted her teeth at Uya's words, glaring at Uya fiercely, and said, "It's daytime now, for crying out loud!!"
"What's wrong with cultivating during the day? You're not allowed to cultivate?!"
Uya looked at Kushina with a playful expression, handed her the water glass he was holding, and said, "You're sweating a lot, have some water."
"Drink your head, my foot!! You bastard..."
Kushina glared angrily at Uya, but in the end, she took the water glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed it down on the table.
She was internally frantic, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Was she supposed to say that she felt very comfortable doing what Uya did, and therefore felt ashamed to cultivate like this during the day?!
Of course, she didn't actually know that Uya was deliberately causing trouble while helping her cultivate; if it were just normal vibrations spreading throughout her body, it wouldn't have happened like this.
Seeing Kushina's expression, Uya couldn't help but smile, as if he could read her mind, and said, "What's so embarrassing? Only I saw you like that anyway."
puff!!
The next moment, unable to bear it any longer, Kushina pounced on Uya and bit down hard on Uya shoulder.
However, Uya's physique was simply too strong. Even without deliberate defense, it was difficult for her to bite through Uya's skin unless she used Chakra.
Ouch! That hurts!
Although it didn't hurt at all, Uya still made a face as if she was in great pain, and staggered backward.
Seeing this, Kushina triumphantly swung her fist at Uya and snorted, "If you ever dare to do that without my permission again, I'll bite you!"
Seeing Kushina's expression, Uya couldn't help but laugh again. He then held up a finger, gestured, and said with a mischievous grin, "One bite after one do?"
I'll bite you to death!
Kushina's cheeks flushed red, and she feigned a fierce expression, revealing two small fangs as she glared at Uya.
"Okay, okay, just kidding. Go take a shower, you're all sweaty."
Uya laughed for a while before stopping.
Kushina looked as if she had been drenched in rain, and since she was at home, she was only wearing a single layer of clothing, which was almost transparent when wet.
However, Kushina didn't care about that. After all, they had been living together for so long. She was only concerned about her loss of composure just now. Being seen by Uya in broad daylight was just too embarrassing.
After snorting at Uya, she went into the bathroom.
Uya shrugged, then picked up the scroll on the table and solemnly released Shockwave Sensing to check if anyone was spying on him or anything.
"Speaking of which, the range of Shockwave Sensing has increased, but it still can't add color to this world, which is a real pity... In this respect alone, it's not even as good as the Byakugan."
"However, its advantage is that it is not visual, so it cannot be deceived by illusions or Genjutsu; it is a special perception beyond the five senses."
After muttering something, Uya once again blocked out his five senses, relying solely on his Shockwave Sensing, wanting to add color to the world he perceived.
But even after Kushina finished her bath, Uya still hadn't found a clue.
Kushina, who came out wrapped in a bath towel, threw her clothes at Uya's head, but Uya caught them.
"You got it wet, so you wash it!"
Kushina gave a soft snort at Uya.
Uya opened his eyes, clutching his clothes as he looked at Kushina's appearance, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "How come it's wet because of me? Isn't it your sweat?!"
"You're the one who did it!"
Kushina rolled her eyes at Uya without any sense of reason, then took out a clean set of clothes and went back to the bathroom.
Upon seeing this, Uya was immediately speechless.
Okay, fine, being unreasonable...
He stood up, Uya, and deliberately waited a moment while holding Kushina's clothes before walking towards the bathroom. He lightly tapped the door lock with his finger, and the door opened directly.
Then, under Kushina's blank stare as she was halfway through putting on her clothes, Uya walked to the side with a serious expression and began washing her clothes.
"You..."
"Time to do laundry."
Uya shrugged at Kushina and continued washing clothes with a serious expression. If you ignored the hint of mockery in Uya's eyes, he was indeed washing clothes with utmost seriousness.
Kushina just stared blankly at Uya, her hands frozen in place, her expression indescribable.
Silence fell, broken only by the sound of water running as Uya washed clothes.
"Hahaha..."
Finally, Uya couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing Uya's laughter, Kushina felt she was about to collapse. She quickly dressed, gritted her teeth, grabbed the basin of water beside her, and splashed water on Uya.
However, the invisible ripples on Uya 'Uya body caused the water to scatter and wet Kushina's clean clothes once again.
Kushina: "..."
Uya shrugged, looking completely innocent as she continued washing the clothes, calmly saying, "It's okay, just take them off and wash them again. I don't mind washing an extra load."
Kushina: "..."
The pleasant morning ended amidst playful antics. Kushina and Uya had been fooling around for a while, and even with their Uzumaki Clan constitutions, they were finally exhausted and went to bed to rest.
Uya didn't disturb her rest. After she fell asleep, he sat down at the table and continued studying the two scrolls.
First, he carefully studied the cultivation method of the Snake Sage in the Ryūchi Cave's Sage Mode.
After careful study, Uya felt that the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave was clearly different from that of Mount Myōboku, with some differences even in the training methods.
Mount Myōboku has a special oil that can aid in cultivation, but this is not mentioned in the cultivation methods of Ryūchi Cave, which clearly indicates that snakes and Toad are different.
Furthermore, in the original work, the Toad Senjutsu used by Naruto and others clearly possessed the characteristics of Toad, while the Snake Senjutsu used by Kabuto possessed the characteristics of a snake.
Speaking of which, First Hokage Hashirama Senju also knew Senjutsu Mode, was a very special case. His powerful self-healing ability seemed to be very similar to that of Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade's Summoning Beast, Katsuyu slug.
However, Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode was beyond what could be described as just Sage Mode; it was more like Sage Body. He could instantly enter it at any time without needing to absorb Natural Energy.
Therefore, whether Hashirama Senju obtained his Sage Mode from the Katsuyu remains to be verified.
But one thing is certain: the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest are all different! (To be continued.)
