There's a lot of it, and it's very bloated.
Fragments of memories flooded in.
The feeling was fleeting, like a sharp stab followed by a complete reversal of events.
"Boom!!!"
Immediately afterwards, a violent roar resounded, accompanied by a towering Kakkō that illuminated Konoha as if it were daytime.
"Wow!"
"Ah!"
Kushina and Mikoto were both startled. In their state of shock, they reacted in the same way, falling directly into Araki's arms.
Even Araki was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. For a moment, his mind was slightly blank because the information transmitted back by the two Wood Clone was quite extensive. Unlike Naruto, who frequently creates clones, he had not yet fully adapted to this rhythm, and there were still many things in his mind that he had not yet come to his senses.
that's all...
Araki had no time to dodge!
Kushina and Mikoto moved in unison, overwhelmingly lunging at Araki.
If there were only one person in this situation, then they might actually end up in Araki's arms.
However, there were two people present.
That's different.
The powerful impact knocked Araki over and onto his back, while Kushina and Mikoto landed on top of Araki.
"Ouch~"
Araki instinctively cried out in surprise, but this didn't affect anything. He didn't feel any pain at all; instead, he felt waves of softness.
It doesn't hurt.
General happiness.
It feels alright.
"Hmm~ Hmph~"
Ah~
Both Kushina and Mikoto were subjected to an extremely strong impact, and coupled with their intoxication, they were both dizzy after the collision.
Immediately afterwards, the two realized their location and that the breath Araki was exhaling was blowing directly on their ears.
Kushina's left ear, Mikoto's right ear.
It's itchy.
I can't quite tell if it's uncomfortable or comfortable.
In conclusion
At this very moment.
Both of their body temperatures rose rapidly.
Even they themselves didn't know what was happening to them, but everyone could feel a very strange change slowly taking place.
"Cough cough... cough..."
Araki cleared his throat. He spread his arms wide, unable to support the weight of the two people. He first looked down at Kushina, then looked in Mikoto's direction.
Aren't you two going to get up?
Araki posed his own question to the two girls. Although this scene might be something many people would care about, the two girls were simply too young.
If it's a bit bigger, that would be fine!
After all, this feeling isn't quite right yet. You have to understand that the two girls in front of you, Kushina and Mikoto combined, aren't even as big Tsunade!
certainly...
Araki is referring to age here!
"Oh~"
"Aaaaaah!"
Kushina and Mikoto both gasped in surprise, only now realizing what they had done.
Although there wasn't anything particularly serious, it was still somewhat indecent. The three of them—one man and two women—were in one room, had already drunk some alcohol, and had now engaged in some physical contact, which caused all three of them to feel a rise in body temperature.
That's right, there are three people!
Araki was also aroused by these two girls...
What just happened?
Uchiha Mikoto was the first to react, using this question to cover up her embarrassment. After all, it was understandable that Kushina threw herself into Araki's arms, but since she had also gone over there, she still had to say something to attract the attention of the two of them.
There was nothing she could do; she felt like an outsider, and that was indeed the case.
Before she arrived, there was already some ambiguity between Kushina and Araki. Now that she's here, not only has she failed to uncover anything about Araki's strength, but she's also gotten herself into a mess, developing a very strong curiosity about Araki.
This was a situation she hadn't anticipated, so she quickly left to avoid looking too awkward. Otherwise, if Kushina and Araki recovered...
If the conversation veers towards her, that would be a real disaster!
"Yeah, what just happened? Why was there such a loud explosion?"
Kushina's attention was immediately diverted by this question.
She felt the same curiosity.
It has to be said.
Since arriving in Konoha, she has felt that the level of security in Konoha far exceeds that of Uzushiogakure, where she previously lived.
but...
There were still a few slightly unpleasant aspects to it.
That was because the ninjas from Kumogakure had invaded Araki's house and tied her up.
At that moment, Kushina thought she was about to be taken away, but Araki saved her. It was from that moment that her impression of Araki changed dramatically once again.
Therefore, Kushina was still very curious about what had happened. In her impression, Konoha was sometimes very safe and sometimes full of danger.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? How would I know about something like this? Weren't we playing Truth or Dare together?"
Araki sat up, helplessly spreading his hands to indicate that he didn't know what was going on either.
In this situation, since all the operations involve two people named Mu, he has a solid alibi when he is with Kushina and Mikoto.
This alibi is extremely important!
After all, what's happening now isn't some case within Konoha, but something closely related to the ninjas of the hidden villages.
After killing the Kumogakure ninjas last time, Araki took two maps from their ninja tool bags. One was a map of Konoha, which showed Kushina's location, and the other was a map of the Land of Fire, which showed Konoha's location.
Based on these two maps, we can draw a very strong conclusion: there must have been a traitor who leaked information about this place to the ninjas of Kumogakure.
However, Araki is still not entirely clear about the identity of that mole. Although he has been diligently cultivating during this time, he has also been using his aura to sense and observe everything around him, but he has not found anyone suspicious.
Perhaps that person never appeared again after that.
Or perhaps that person doesn't need to show up in person at all.
At least...
Araki could guess that this person must be an important figure in Konoha, otherwise not everyone would know Kushina's identity.
Could it be Danzo?
Araki had a question mark in his mind, a question that arose when he first received the map, but he had no evidence whatsoever pointing to Danzo.
Without evidence, Araki could only consider Danzo as a suspect, but absolutely not as the sole suspect. Otherwise, if someone else did something similar, he would be misled by his own flawed reasoning.
This is a problem that Araki completely unacceptable.
Araki would rather not make any definitive judgments lightly, and he would absolutely ensure that he does not make a completely wrong judgment, and that he will not be misled by such a wrong judgment.
"That's true!"
Mikoto nodded. Actually, she didn't really mean to ask Araki, because she knew Araki didn't know anything. They were together, so how could it be related to Araki? The most important reason she said that was to ease the awkwardness of the physical contact just now.
"We're clearly together!"
Mikoto immediately walked towards the living room window. After all, she was a member of the Uchiha Clan. Although she wasn't officially a member, she still held a position in the Junior Detective League, a nominal organization. Even though the Junior Detective League was practically a joke, hastily established and then hastily disbanded.
"What a huge fire!"
"I hope nothing goes wrong!"
Should we go help?
Mikoto looked out the window at the rising flames and billowing smoke, her face filled with worry.
In fact, many members of the Uchiha Clan have come to regard Konoha as their home. They are arrogant, but they are dedicated to protecting their home.
"Yeah, should we go help?" Kushina also looked at Araki.
In an instant.
Both girls' eyes were fixed on Araki.
They completely regarded Araki as the backbone of this small team, and when faced with such problems, they tacitly agreed to follow Araki's words.
"Let's not go and cause trouble." Araki shook his head slightly and said, "Such a commotion in the village means there might be some danger. Not only have we heard the commotion here, but the Jonin too. They will definitely figure out a way to resolve it. If we go, they will have to divert their attention to take care of us."
"That's true. You two aren't even Genin yet, so going there rashly is definitely a problem." Mikoto nodded, her tone not sarcastic but rather an agreement with Araki's words.
" Araki, what kind of problem do you think it will be?" Kushina had already given up the idea of going to help, and just stared at Araki curiously as she asked.
"Yeah, yeah, what do you think might have happened?" Uchiha Mikoto's dark eyes showed the same curiosity, but the reason she was curious was actually different from Kushina's.
Kushina was curious about what was happening outside; could it be that someone had invaded?
After all, she had experienced something similar before.
This is something she absolutely doesn't want to face again!
Kushina didn't say anything, but she still felt a little worried, though she didn't express it.
