After getting married, Naruto had changed his hairstyle. He now sported a short buzz cut; his face looked a bit dull, and his eyes had lost their former spiritual spark.
He certainly didn't have any thoughts of cuckolding Sasuke; he was simply concerned about Sakura's safety. With Sasuke currently away from the village, shouldn't he, as a former teammate, go over to help?
"No need, I can solve this problem." Ino persuaded the idlers to leave and rejected the suggestion to send Sakura to the hospital. This wasn't a sickness at all, but the influence of divine power; the Konoha Hospital wouldn't be able to treat it.
Ino took the unconscious Sakura back to her own home.
Sakura originally lived with her parents, but now that she was married, she naturally had to move out.
Ino had to ask two Anbu members before she could find her new address.
Unlike the heavy domestic atmosphere of Ino's home, Sakura and Sasuke's new house—let alone the idea of having children—looked more like a training ground with a bedroom attached.
Sakura's room was littered with ninjutsu scrolls and notes. In the corner stood a medical dummy, with silver needles inserted into the corresponding acupoints on its head, chest, lower abdomen, and arms.
Ino sighed for a moment; Billboard Brow was even more hardworking than she had imagined.
The Supreme Kai's "Clairvoyance" ability could not only see across thousands or tens of thousands of miles, or even the entire universe, but it also possessed x-ray functions. She put on large glasses to slightly obscure the obscure light in her eyes, pinched her chin, and analyzed the situation like Detective Conan, checking Sakura from head to toe.
She attempted to suppress that portion of the West Supreme Kai's divine power.
The suppression had some effect. Lying in her familiar bedroom, Sakura regained a fraction of her sanity.
"Don't allowed... not allowed to charge money..."
"You are so impossible, I won't charge you money!"
Cure her? That would be very difficult.
Let alone Ino, even if the West Supreme Kai, Leila, were released again, this condition would be hard to eliminate.
Spilt water is hard to gather. Divine power didn't possess the characteristic of being retractable. If it could be taken back, Leila would have done so back then, rather than letting this stuff span a thousand years to plague Sakura.
However, solving it wasn't impossible.
One method was to let Sakura complete the command and rescue Leila, but Ino certainly wouldn't agree to that.
The other method was simpler.
She extracted a portion of divine power from the West Supreme Kai within her, and then, like casting a Kotodama, she whispered softly into Sakura's ear: "One hundred years. Come save Leila in one hundred years. Remember, one hundred years..."
If it can't be cured, then delay it. Stall hard!
Sakura was already twenty this year; she surely wouldn't live to be one hundred and twenty, right? After she died, the restriction of the divine power would naturally disappear.
With this divine power remaining in her body for a long time, Sakura could also utilize it slightly. Surpassing Kage-level in personal strength wouldn't be a difficult task. However, that was, after all, a Shinjutsu superior to ninjutsu and senjutsu. Wanting to use it proficiently required methods and techniques. Ino decided to research and summarize it later, find an opportunity, and then sell the knowledge to Sakura.
As for the matter of someone's ears becoming pointed, it couldn't be hidden from her pillow partner. While cleaning Ino's ears, Hinata curiously touched them: "They feel quite nice. Is this... really not a decoration?"
Ino made a "shh" gesture, indicating that it was best not to let too many people know about this.
"Let me touch them, they're quite fun."
"I won't let you touch!"
"Just one touch, just once!"
"Alright then, just one touch."
"Will our future children become like this too?" Hinata was truly worthy of being an excellent virtuous wife and good mother; any topic would eventually lead back to children.
Thinking of this, Ino also felt a bit of a headache. It was obvious now that after absorbing the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul, she had obtained a huge pile of messy abilities. The increase in battle power was actually just a small part of it, considered a bonus; these "miscellaneous items" were the key. The abilities of the Otsutsuki clan were already very mixed, and now with the absorption of the West Supreme Kai's remnant soul, one could only say the abilities were even more mixed.
With so many abilities mixed into the bloodline, would their fertility rate be even lower? Would their future children perhaps grow directly on trees?
This matter was too shocking to the world, so Ino decided to conceal it for the time being and tell Hinata when the time was right.
Thinking about those things was a bit far off; enjoying the moment was the truth.
Ino demonstrated the transformation ability obtained from the Supreme Kai. Right in front of Hinata, she transformed into Hinata. The two hid under the blankets, playing with the Dragon Ball world's signature ability—engaging in a "beam struggle"!
Hinata had been poisoned too deeply by the Hyuga family's feudal ethics; her character was extremely traditional and conservative. She would be shy for a long time just changing a posture. She felt that this method of "self-entertainment" was a bit bizarre.
Ino originally wanted to transform into others, like Sakura or Kurotsuchi, but then she thought, no, being with Hinata like that, wouldn't that amount to cuckolding herself? She simply reverted to her original form.
"Come, let me read your palm." Ino groped around under the blanket, pulling out Hinata's small hand to examine it.
Following the continuous extraction of divine power from Leila's remnant soul, she had just obtained a skill named "Life Sharing." She added points to bring this ability to Lv2 and used it on herself once, feeling nothing.
She then thought of Hinata.
Childbirth was already an event that greatly damaged one's vitality for Ino. For Hinata, whose foundation was obviously insufficient, it was an event that would harm her body extremely, even shortening her lifespan.
She was young now, so it wasn't visible, but in another two years, Hinata would age very quickly.
Sharing a hundred years of life force meant nothing to Ino. She used this skill on Hinata once.
Hinata pursed her lips. With her lover holding her hand, she didn't feel shy, but she felt her body becoming very hot.
Her face turned red from holding it in.
Ino looked at her in confusion.
What did that mean? Did you receive it or not?
This was her first time using the skill, and she couldn't tell the truth, so she was equally confused after using it.
The next day, early morning.
Ino was actually a relatively diligent person, but this diligence depended on who she was compared to.
While she was sleeping with her head covered, Hinata had gotten up early to wash, then watered the flowers, tidied the room, prepared breakfast for the family, and even washed the vegetables she planned to cook for lunch.
Doing housework was where her joy lay; she just liked this kind of peaceful life. However, today was a bit unusual. While mopping the floor, she felt that her body had become different from usual. The vitality within her was robust, and she seemed to have inexhaustible energy.
The Yamanaka household was very quiet during meals.
Before marriage, Ino still retained some habits from her past life. That is, she very much liked to utilize fragmented time while eating. If she didn't look at something while eating, she felt it was a waste of time and felt uncomfortable all over. Smartphones certainly didn't exist in Konoha Village, so for a long time, she would read a book while eating. Whether she actually read it was another matter, but she had to have something in her hand.
Inoichi and Rino had spoken about this a few times. She agreed on the surface but continued her old ways afterwards. As her strength grew, her parents stopped mentioning it.
After marriage, she was forcibly corrected by Hinata. Now, eating quietly, she could also adhere to the rule of not speaking while eating.
