In, hug."
Seeing Kushina's coquettishness, Uchiha In also picked her up.
"You, you're so big now, and you still need to be hugged."
Uchiha In touched Kushina's nose with his nose and said.
Forget it, there's no need to think so much. No matter what Kushina's situation is, as long as Kushina truly loves him, that's enough.
Chapter 76: Long Time No See
Uchiha In held Kushina and sat on a small bench by the Sakura tree, waiting for the Konoha Anbu to arrive.
His Great Fire Annihilation just now was so grand that it must have attracted attention. He just needed to wait here.
Otherwise, even if he left, Hiruzen would probably call him over later, so it was better to wait here.
"In, how did you feel the first time you killed someone? I felt a wave of nausea just now."
"I didn't feel anything. At that time, I only thought about saving you, so I didn't feel anything. Maybe I just thought they deserved to die?"
"In, thank you." Kushina's eyes curved into crescent moons.
Perhaps it was her first time killing, or perhaps she was startled by what happened, Kushina lay in Uchiha In's arms, talking incessantly.
Tsunade, Mikoto, and Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived very quickly, soon reaching the Sakura Forest.
Flames are tongues that can devour everything, and where these tongues sweep, there is ruin.
The raging flames brazenly expanded their claws, attempting to cover all places under their dominion.
Black smoke billowed up, accompanied by crackling sounds.
937 Great Fire Annihilation killed Yue Liangjie and also caused a fire, with the fierce flames devouring this Sakura Forest.
"A Fire Release of this Rank is probably at least an A-Rank Ninjutsu."
"Kushina and In are probably in danger!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi deduced.
"Hiruzen, the fire-fighting is up to you and the Anbu. I'll go after In and them."
Tsunade and the others, of course, also saw the destroyed Earth Release barrier, Earth Prison Dome, and quickly rushed towards it.
"Water Release: Rain Array."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, confidently entrusting Kushina and In to Tsunade.
He had great trust in Tsunade's strength.
"Water Release: Rain Array."
A powerful water cannon, containing extremely strong Water Release Chakra, shot directly into the sky.
Then, the water cannon exploded, and dense raindrops, like a downpour, fell from the sky, gradually extinguishing the fire.
To be able to temporarily change a Ninjutsu meant for attack into aerial rainfall is enough to prove Hiruzen Sarutobi's terrifying understanding of Ninjutsu.
However, it's unknown what Senju Tobirama would think if he knew Hiruzen Sarutobi used the A-Rank Ninjutsu he gave him for such a purpose.
The fire was extinguished, and the rain stopped. A rainbow appeared in the sky, but this half of the Sakura Forest was left with only a few charred, dead trees.
"What a terrifying Fire Release Ninjutsu! Who on earth used this Fire Release?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was very solemn as he ran in the direction Tsunade and the others had gone.
At this moment, Tsunade and the others finally arrived at Uchiha In and their location, but what left them somewhat speechless was that Uchiha In and Kushina were engrossed in each other on a nearby bench.
"In!"
Hearing Mikoto's voice, Uchiha In and Kushina both turned their heads.
"Tsunade-sensei (sister), Mikoto-nee (sister)." Uchiha In and Kushina called out in surprise.
Kushina got down from Uchiha In's arms and ran to Mikoto, giving Mikoto a big hug, and then giving Tsunade a big hug.
Uchiha In also walked over.
"Mikoto-nee, long time no see, I missed you." Uchiha In gazed at Mikoto deeply and said.
"In, I missed you too." Mikoto's eyes were red, and a bright smile appeared on her face as she hugged Uchiha In tightly.
After a long while, the two separated.
"Tsunade-sensei, aren't you going to give me a hug?" Looking at Tsunade in front of him, Uchiha In said with a smile.
"Long time no see, In, you're taller than me now." Tsunade also generously gave Uchiha In a hug.
"I missed you." Both said at the same time.
"What happened?" Tsunade's face showed a puzzled expression as she asked Uchiha In and Kushina.
Kushina explained everything that had happened before, and Uchiha In also explained the part where Kushina left without knowing about him.
"So, people from Cloud Ninja Village wanted to capture Kushina?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said.
"It should be. Lightning Release Chakra Mode is the signature Ninjutsu of the Night Moon Clan of Cloud Ninja Village."
Uchiha In said.
"We will sooner or later settle scores with Cloud Ninja Village. They actually dared to scheme against our Konoha."
"Yes, we must settle scores with the people from Cloud Ninja Village then!"
After Uchiha In and Kushina's explanation, Hiruzen Sarutobi also understood what had happened.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was greatly surprised that Uchiha In could use such a powerful Fire Release.
Although he originally knew that Uchiha In and Kushina's strength was probably not inferior to experienced Chunin, he had never expected that Uchiha In and Kushina would be able to successfully kill a Jonin at this age.
Moreover, one of them was even a Jonin of the Night Moon Clan.
After the shock, Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed.
After such a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had also acknowledged Uchiha In and had trust in him.
