Reiji crossed his arms again and turned his face slightly, as if he was trying to hide his awkwardness.
"... Yeah, it's fine... But listen carefully," Reiji suddenly said in a more serious tone.
Hearing the change in Reiji's tone, Kushina looked at him with a confused expression.
"Never teach anyone the Fuinjutsu that I taught you, understand?"
"If you want to teach someone, make sure it's the person who is most important to you—more specifically, the man who will become your husband."
A sudden silence enveloped the place.
Everyone who heard those words was shocked, their eyes widening, even Keito and Kasumi, as well as Karina, held their breath.
Kushina froze for a moment before her face suddenly turned red.
"W-WHAT! Brother Reiji!" Kushina shouted, before immediately kicking Reiji's leg quite hard.
"Ah!" Reiji lifted the leg that had just been kicked, his expression instantly turning annoyed and confused.
"Don't say weird things like that!" Kushina said with a pout, her cheeks still flushed with embarrassment.
However, Reiji maintained a serious expression. "Promise me."
Kushina let out a long sigh, her face still looking rosy.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Kushina finally nodded. "... Alright, I promise I won't teach anyone else Fuinjutsu."
"Except for the man I love who will become my husband... Now, is Brother Reiji satisfied?"
Reiji grinned widely. "That sounds better."
Kushina huffed, still annoyed, but a little relieved that the debate was over.
As Kushina sighed and was about to leave, Reiji suddenly extended something to her.
"Wait, take this."
Kushina looked at the object Reiji handed her—a black watch with a square design.
It looked more modern than a regular watch, but for some reason, it appeared very unique.
"A watch? The latest model? Is this for me?" Kushina asked with sparkling eyes.
Reiji nodded. "Yes. Always wear that watch."
Kushina smiled faintly and immediately put the watch on her wrist.
The watch felt light, yet strong and comfortable to wear.
"What are the functions of this watch, Brother Reiji?" Kushina asked with a curious face, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.
Everyone present was also curious, looking at the watch with interest.
Reiji smirked slightly. "There are quite a few things... Just say 'Invisible'."
Kushina raised an eyebrow but followed Reiji's instructions. "Invisible."
Suddenly, the watch on Kushina's wrist became invisible!
No, it wasn't just invisible—when Kushina touched her wrist, she couldn't feel the watch at all!
"This...!" Kushina exclaimed, staring at her arm with wide eyes.
"Now say 'Visible'."
Kushina hurriedly said it, and the watch immediately reappeared on her wrist.
"COOL!" Kushina shouted in amazement.
Reiji smiled faintly. "There are quite a few other functions. Try saying 'Show Menu'."
Kushina nodded and said the words. Instantly, a small holographic screen appeared, displaying several menu options.
[Menu: Watch | Phone | Map | Emergency Signal | Teleportation | Automatic Shield | Invisible]
Kushina's eyes widened even more. "WOW!"
Reiji chuckled softly. "So, if you want to talk to Karina, you can communicate smoothly even from a distance."
"This is way better than a regular phone."
"But you should know, this device is very difficult to make, so there are only two."
"One for you, and one for Karina."
"Thank you, Brother Reiji!" Kushina said excitedly and unexpectedly hugged Reiji.
However, what surprised everyone even more was when Kushina suddenly kissed Reiji's cheek quickly.
"Huh?!" Keito's eyes widened in shock, almost falling over from surprise.
Meanwhile, Kasumi could only chuckle softly while covering her mouth. "Fufufu... Ara Ara..."
