Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After the jokes, Obito returned to calm.
"Since Ichiraku Ramen survived, let it be preserved. Let it tell those who pass by a piece of Konoha's history."
"Maybe, after a very long time, people will see it and call it a miracle of the world."
Sasuke, not knowing what he was thinking, after a moment suddenly turned around and said.
"Aren't you here as guests? The trick of destroying Konoha is over. Standing here any longer goes against Uchiha hospitality."
"Come with me. I'll take you to the place where Karin and I live."
Having said that, he looked at Karin, "Let's go."
Karin immediately brightened, rushed up, grabbed Sasuke's arm, pressed herself against him, and walked with him toward the depths of the clan grounds.
But at that moment Kushina said.
"Wait, there's one thing that still hasn't been resolved."
Sasuke stopped.
Kushina strode forward without ceremony, yanked Karin away from him, and admonished Karin.
"Karin, although I know you like Sasuke, since you're my niece, I can't let him take advantage of you for nothing."
Karin was stunned and hurried to explain, "Auntie, Sasuke didn't bully me. He's usually very kind to me."
Kushina smiled squintingly, "Is that so?"
Then she suddenly looked at Sasuke and, bam!, punched him in the face.
With Six-Path Sasuke's speed and reflexes, he could have responded at any time, but Sasuke did not; he simply stoically took the punch.
Half his face swelled up, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth.
He raised a hand to wipe his mouth, kept his head down, and said nothing.
Karin was alarmed. She sprang forward and grabbed Kushina's hand, "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Kushina snorted, "Doing? You were stabbed by Sasuke once, almost killed, even forgetful Obito remembers that. And you can forget? How brainless are you?"
"Auntie must get this sorted for you today. Our Uzumaki repay kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred. Even if Sasuke is the Six-Path's own child, I'll still hit him without mercy!"
Karin anxiously said, "Auntie, Sasuke already apologized to me, and he didn't mean it then…"
However, before she finished, Kushina cut her off.
"I know he didn't do it accidentally, he did it on purpose!"
"Karin, I don't oppose you liking Sasuke, he's my best friend Mikoto's son; we're practically family, that's fine."
"But you can't unconditionally and endlessly indulge him. You were sold out by him and still counting his money for him, under those circumstances, how could I possibly trust handing you over to him?"
Karin immediately lowered her head and tears flowed.
"Auntie, I was indeed very wronged and heartbroken at the time. I even swore to never see Sasuke again."
"But… I really like Sasuke. I can't bear to leave him!"
"Auntie, is it wrong to like someone?"
Kushina slapped her forehead, 'Ah, my niece has a love-brain, hopeless.'
She stopped dwelling on Karin and looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, admitting your mistake and changing is the greatest good. That's what Mikoto told me about raising children. I hope you'll abide by it."
"If you want to marry Karin and bring her home, fine, give me an explanation right now!"
Sasuke lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand. Lightning danced in his palm; the Chidori sang.
In an instant the lightning reshaped into a sharp spear.
Sasuke said, "One debt repaid with one debt."
Then he suddenly bent his arm and drove the Chidori-spear toward his own heart.
The act was so sudden no one could react in time.
Even Naruto, who is also Six-Path, noticed something wrong and moved to stop him, but by the time he raised his hand, Sasuke's Chidori spear had already pierced his own chest.
He spat a mouthful of blood, dropped to one knee, and the lightning dispersed.
Immediately, a huge gush of blood poured out of his chest as if it were endless, staining his clothes red, staining the Uchiha clan grounds.
He struggled to speak, "Auntie Kushina, is this explanation satisfactory?"
Kushina was stunned by the scene. She had only wanted a few verbal promises from Sasuke, something like "I swear to protect Karin and never let her be harmed again."
After all, he's Mikoto's child, and Karin likes him, he couldn't be denied, right?
She didn't expect Sasuke to be so extreme, to stab himself, straight into the heart.
At that moment Naruto had already flashed to Sasuke's side, placed a hand on his shoulder, activated the Six-Path Yang power, and instantly healed Sasuke's wound.
Sasuke stood up expressionless, as if nothing had happened, but Naruto was already in tears.
"Mom, Sasuke has suffered so many grievances on his path. Please don't blame him. If he did anything wrong, punish me instead, alright?"
Kushina saw her own son's arm reaching out and immediately felt helpless.
Besides, even though Mikoto's son had hurt himself, the wound healed instantly, she still felt a bit pained.
She awkwardly said, "Sasuke, sorry, does it still hurt?"
Sasuke shook his head, looked at Karin, "With her here, it doesn't hurt."
Karin immediately burst into loud crying, rushed to Sasuke, and hugged him tightly.
"Waaah! Sasuke, why are you so stupid, stabbing yourself. If you died, what would I do? You said we'd have so many children."
Sasuke held Karin, stroked her head, and gently said, "With you here, I can't die, right?"
Karin nodded vigorously, "Yes. If you die you must bite me hard; even if I've to tear myself apart, I won't allow you to die!"
Sasuke held Karin without speaking further, but his eyes quietly swept to a large tree not far away…
Kushina was speechless. One punch and one speech had made two people cry, but not Sasuke; it was her son and her niece who cried.
'Mikoto's son is terrifying, he has her family, male and female, completely under his control!'
She looked at Naruto, still upset, and said, "Naruto, from now on protect your sister well. She and her mother have suffered too much; I want her to have happiness for the rest of her life."
Naruto said: "Mom, I will."
Kushina then looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, you really aren't usually like this. I only wanted you to say a few nice things. Ah, you silly child, as your elder and Karin's elder, I'll hand Karin over to you right now."
Sasuke, holding Karin, made a small sound.
Nearby, Obito watched the scene and suddenly let out a light laugh.
Kushina immediately turned and glared at Obito.
"You brat, do you even have a conscience? How can you laugh at a time like this?"
