Chapter 99: Affection Level Breaks 90, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode
"So amazing… I can feel my chakra is endless now. My whole body's attributes have increased five times!"
Clenching her fists tightly, Kushina shouted excitedly, her face full of exhilaration.
She could clearly sense that not only had her overall strength surged, but she could now instantly manifest a hundred-meter-tall Nine-Tails identical in size to Susanoo. She could release Tailed Beast Balls and sense malice as well.
At this moment, Kushina's entire body was enveloped in golden-red chakra. Her red hair floated slightly. Deep red vertical pupils appeared in her eyes. Six black magatama marks floated on both sides of her collar, and several black lines emerged on her clothes. Even in a crowd, she would stand out strikingly.
Unlike Naruto in the original story—who needed time to reach mutual understanding with the Nine-Tails before awakening Nine-Tails Chakra Mode—the Nine-Tails chakra flame Ling Yu prepared for Kushina completely submitted to her will.
As long as Kushina willed it, she could enter Nine-Tails Chakra Mode at any moment and display 100% of the Nine-Tails' power.
"Hehe, thank you, Ling Yu! Now I'm no longer the one holding everyone back!"
Beaming with joy, Kushina threw herself onto Ling Yu—who was still sitting on the sofa—and hugged him tightly.
Crack!
The poor sofa couldn't withstand the force of Kushina—now enhanced by Nine-Tails Chakra Mode—and completely collapsed under her pounce.
"Kushina! Are you trying to crush me to death?!"
Pinned beneath her, Ling Yu gritted his teeth and slowly sat up, then firmly knocked her on the forehead.
Kushina's physical strength had multiplied several times thanks to the Nine-Tails chakra flame. Even Ling Yu—who had already broken through human limits—felt a stifling pressure in his chest after taking the full impact.
"Hehe, sorry… I got too excited."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Kushina quickly dispersed the chakra cloak around her body, covered her head, and gave Ling Yu an embarrassed smile.
Ding! Uzumaki Kushina's affection level has reached 90. Reward: Exquisite Chest ×5.
At that moment, the system notification sounded.
"Alright, Ling Yu—don't blame Kushina too much. If the sofa's broken, just replace it. It doesn't cost much anyway."
Tsunade shook her head at the two of them, then together with Mikoto, they pulled the still-sprawled Ling Yu and Kushina up from the floor.
Earlier, when Kushina came flying over, they had already stood up and moved away from the sofa, avoiding getting knocked over.
Ling Yu could have used Space Power to dodge at the very beginning, but he chose not to—wanting to catch her and not disappoint her. As a result, he took the full hit.
"I'm not angry. It's just that Kushina's personality is too reckless. Who's going to be able to control her in the future?"
Standing up again, Ling Yu patted the dust off his clothes and spoke somewhat helplessly as he thought about Kushina's nature.
"What are you worried about? As long as you and Mikoto pull her back before she does something stupid, it'll be fine. Anyway, you're going to marry both of them eventually."
Tsunade's eyes scanned back and forth between Kushina and Mikoto with a slight smile.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely keep Kushina in check."
Mikoto took hold of the now-shy Kushina beside her and nodded firmly toward Ling Yu.
Ever since the three of them graduated from the ninja academy, Tsunade had quietly spoken with both girls about the future of the Senju clan.
As the last male of the Senju line, Ling Yu would undoubtedly have more than one wife in the future. Polygamy was inevitable if they wanted to expand the clan's next generation.
Although the two girls were initially reluctant, they understood that many clan heads of major families were not monogamous when it came to producing talented heirs. It was already the norm.
They understood Tsunade's intention and not one of them backed out—simply because they could no longer imagine living without Ling Yu.
"Hehe, since the marriage is already decided, Mikoto and Kushina are officially my fiancées now."
Faced with Tsunade's words that tore away the thin veil covering their complicated relationship, Ling Yu stopped pretending. He pulled both girls tightly into his arms and spoke like a total scoundrel:
"From now on, Kushina will live with us. I'll also prepare a room for Mikoto. No more running back and forth—it's too troublesome."
"Me too! Me too! I want to be Big Brother Ling Yu's wife as well!"
At that moment, Konan's cute little voice suddenly rang out.
In an instant, the entire room fell into an unprecedented silence.
The expressions on Kushina, Mikoto, and Ling Yu's faces all changed at once. Tsunade narrowed her eyes and began sizing Konan up carefully, as though she were examining prey—lost in some unknown thoughts.
"I never said anything like that to Konan! Don't look at me like that—I'm not the beast you're imagining!"
Seeing Kushina and Mikoto staring at him with utter disdain, Ling Yu hurriedly ran to Konan's side and covered her mouth, frantically trying to explain.
Damn it! Yes, he was a scumbag who planned to build a harem—but he wasn't depraved enough to teach such impure things to a pure little loli like this.
At the very least… at the very least he would wait until she grew up a bit before teaching her anything!
"Eh…? I can't become Big Brother Ling Yu's wife?"
Konan tilted her head and looked up at Ling Yu behind her. Her light orange eyes reflected pure innocence and confusion.
She was still very young and didn't fully understand what "wife" meant in the context of the adults' conversation.
But seeing Ling Yu hugging Kushina and the others so happily, she felt like she was being left out. It made her heart feel uncomfortable. She wanted to join in too—but it seemed something had gone wrong.
"Uh… it's not that you can't… but you have to wait until you grow up before you can become my wife. For now, Konan should just focus on training obediently and not think about things you shouldn't, okay?"
Faced with Konan's angel-like pure gaze, Ling Yu felt an inexplicable pang of guilt in his heart.
"Ling Yu! What are you saying?! Konan is under our care from now on. I think you should stay far away from her."
Mikoto's expression had just softened a little after hearing Ling Yu's explanation. After spending so much time with him, she knew he wasn't that kind of monster.
But when she heard his next words to Konan, Mikoto couldn't listen anymore. She immediately pulled Konan away from Ling Yu and held her close.
"Hmph! This lady will keep a very close eye on you from now on. I absolutely won't let you corrupt Konan."
Kushina also snapped out of her shy state and returned to her usual willful personality. She stepped forward to block Konan protectively, staring at Ling Yu with resolute eyes.
Ling Yu already had her and Mikoto—yet he still wasn't satisfied. He even dared to reach his filthy hands toward innocent little Konan who understood nothing.
As one of his future wives, she would absolutely not allow such a fickle husband. She was determined to correct him properly.
"No… I'm really innocent…"
Seeing both girls staring at him like he was a dangerous pervert, Ling Yu felt that even ten mouths wouldn't be enough to explain himself.
