After resurrecting Minato, the real Kushina will disappear, and she'll take Kushina's place!
"Mr. Yoichi, I'm counting on you. I wish to resurrect Minato, even if it means using my body!"
Having said that, Dark Kushina bowed ninety degrees.
"It's possible, but Kushina, how do you...."
Uchiha Yoichi glanced at the Strategy Guide and could only secretly marvel at the power of this ability; even the emergence of Dark Kushina had been predicted by the guide.
"Are you really certain?"
"Yes, to resurrect Minato, I'm willing to pay any price. From the start, this has been my determination."
Dark Kushina said, but the real Kushina, upon hearing this, felt even more helpless. After being confined by Dark Kushina, she could only watch as Dark Kushina used her body....
"Then go wash up; you're filthy. I'll come find you later...."
Uchiha Yoichi said to Dark Kushina, and then temporarily left. He needed to prepare some things; Dark Kushina was even harder to deal with than the real Kushina. According to the Strategy Guide... it was best to prepare a few cameras to record memorable moments.
As well as the no-grade excitement potion he had crafted as practice last time.... This was an entry-level task for an Alchemist and he carried it with him.
"Just watch, Kushina. I will bring Namikaze Minato back to life."
After Uchiha Yoichi left, Dark Kushina spoke to Kushina, who was chained in the depths of darkness; however, the latter immediately retorted angrily: "Even if you succeed in resurrecting Minato, he would never forgive you for such actions..."
"Do you still want to see Minato? Still want Naruto to have a father?"
With this one sentence, Dark Kushina rendered the chained Kushina speechless; if not for the hope of resurrecting Minato, why would she hold onto this obsession?
"Don't forget, I am you. Do you still not dare to face the reason you lost to me?"
With that, Dark Kushina stopped paying attention to Kushina, leaving her to reflect in the darkness.
"You really are filthy..."
After being here for several days, Kushina had not cleaned herself, except for washing her face and brushing her teeth. This made Dark Kushina wrinkle her nose after taking a sniff.
This remark naturally also reached the ears of the real Kushina, who became embarrassed and angry; both of them were Kushina, so why criticize herself?
Luckily, the supplies delivered with the scroll included everything, even a change of clothes, although they weren't the ones Kushina usually wore, she could still fit into them.
Dark Kushina found a secluded spot by the lake and began to clean herself.
After washing, Kushina's skin became white and smooth again. Despite having given birth to Naruto, her body hadn't changed shape, her legs were still long and slender, with a touch of plumpness.
Only Naruto's pacifier was slightly discolored, and there was a barely noticeable bit of flab on her belly, which could only be detected when she sat down; if she stood up, it was almost invisible.
After washing, Dark Kushina put on clean clothes and returned to the Waterfall of True to wait quietly.
"Kushina, are you ready?"
Seeing Uchiha Yoichi appear before her, Dark Kushina couldn't help but feel a bit shy and apprehensive. However, she secretly resolved that she wasn't the weak Kushina, and said, "Yes, I won't back down."
"Alright, then. Let's go inside the tent."
With that, Uchiha Yoichi reached out to embrace Kushina's waist, and even this simple gesture caused Dark Kushina to tense up entirely.
Yet, Dark Kushina held herself together and followed Uchiha Yoichi into the tent.
The interior of the tent was spacious, and inside was the mattress Kushina had slept on these past few days, big enough for two to rest.
Uchiha Yoichi picked up Kushina and headed for the mattress...
"Mr. Yoichi, slow down..."
"....."

It wasn't until long after the sun had risen the next morning that Turtle Island finally fell quiet.
Uchiha Yoichi, now sweating heavily, slowly stepped out of the tent, holding his waist.
Kushina was lightly covered with a thin blanket and still fast asleep, only her eyebrows slightly furrowed, mumbling 'Minato' from time to time.
"This time really was my limit; I never thought I'd need to rest for two days...."
Though he said two days, Uchiha Yoichi felt like it would take four to five days to recover; he already felt some back pain. As for Kushina inside the tent, she wouldn't wake up until at least the evening.
He would have to feed her some water and food during the day. Luckily, Kushina had taken an elixir to restore her energy earlier.
