[Tsunade: Sigh, isn't Nagi being a bit too rigid?]
[Terumī Mei: Exactly. Kissing at this age is perfectly normal.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: That's right. When I was Nagi's age, Minato and I...]
[Yamanaka Ino: Nagi is a bit too strict about his boundaries and principles, isn't he?]
[Jiraiya: No, this is the romance of a true man.]
[Ebisu: Exactly. As a man, Nagi, I respect you.]
[Hatake Kakashi: But Samui makes a good point too. Making Nagi's boundaries and principles more flexible might actually be better for him. Based on my experience, Samui's is probably the highest in Nagi's heart right now.]
[Mabui: Hmm. So even though Hinata took Nagi's first kiss this time, it's Samui whosehas increased dramatically.]
[Yugito Nii: Yes. Samui's personality is somewhat similar to Nagi's, so she can better empathize with and understand his heart.]
[The screen continues...]
After the awards ceremony concluded, it was time for the closing ceremony.
Minato and the others began another round of speeches...
At this moment, Nagi walked over to where Samui and Shizuka were. Shizuka spoke to Nagi:
"Nagi, could you give me a kiss? I may not be of age yet, but I'm old enough, so it should be fine~"
Nagi was taken aback.
"Uh..."
Shizuka slowly leaned closer to Nagi. Nagi quickly said:
"Shizuka, there are too many people here. It's not really appropriate. And besides, today I've already—"
Shizuka smiled and said: "What happened today doesn't matter, Nagi. You just need to know that the Captain, Ameno, and I all like you. We'll try not to cause you any trouble in this regard."
Ameno also approached at that moment. Hearing Shizuka's words, she added:
"That's right, Nagi. If you're uncomfortable or don't know what to do about this, we'll wait for you. You're someone important to us."
"I'm sorry. I still don't really understand what this feeling of 'liking' someone is. If I were to do this, it might be very disrespectful to you."
Nagi said apologetically.
Nagi doesn't understand women well, but he respects them deeply.
Shizuka smiled and said: "If you don't understand, you can slowly try to learn. Even if you don't want to understand, that's fine too. We'll patiently wait for you."
Ameno added: "Yes. Don't worry about being disrespectful to us."
"Because you're our beloved Nagi." x2
Hearing this, Nagi was stunned for a moment. After a while, he reacted, his face slightly flushed, and said: "How about when we leave?"
"Yes."
"Hmm?"
...
The closing ceremony ended. Minato and the others once again arranged for everyone to leave in an orderly fashion.
Samui was called away by Mabui to help organize documents. Naruko and the others went home with their parents.
Nagi, Shizuka, and Ameno walked together on the road back.
Looking at the moon, Nagi seemed to be making a resolution. Shizuka was filled with anticipation, while Ameno watched the two with some curiosity.
Arriving at a quiet place, Nagi stopped and turned to them.
"Um... Shizuka... Ameno."
"Yes, Nagi."
Shizuka looked at Nagi with expectation.
Nagi slowly approached Shizuka. Shizuka closed her eyes. Finally, their lips met...
Ameno watched the two, her face slightly flushed. She now understood what Nagi had meant by "disrespectful."
After a while, Nagi and Shizuka parted. Shizuka smiled and said: "Nagi, thank you!"
Then Nagi looked toward Ameno. Ameno's face was very red now, but her body honestly moved closer to Nagi. In the end, they too came together under the moonlight.
After a moment, they parted. Ameno smiled and said: "Nagi, don't feel burdened, okay?"
...
Uchiha Residence...
Satsuki returned to her room and took out a mirror.
She activated her Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Then, the three tomoe began to spin rapidly and connect, ultimately forming a Sharingan with a crimson hexagon pattern.
Seeing the change in her eyes and the surging, Satsuki's suspicions were confirmed.
"This is... the Mangekyō Sharingan!?"
Meanwhile, in the living room, Fugaku and Itachi, who were drinking tea, suddenly felt a shock.
"This... it's Mangekyō!?"
"That direction... oh no, it's Satsuki's room!!"
Itachi and Fugaku rushed into Satsuki's room on the second floor. Seeing Satsuki's Mangekyō Sharingan, both were greatly shocked.
[Uchiha Itachi: What!? Satsuki awakened the Mangekyō!?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: What exactly happened? How did Satsuki suddenly awaken the Mangekyō?]
[Orochimaru: Fugaku, don't be so surprised. In my view, Satsuki awakening the Mangekyō was only a matter of time. Her Yin Release Chakra had already exceeded the threshold for the Mangekyō long ago. She was only missing a trigger.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Trigger? What kind of trigger? She didn't awaken it during the Chūnin Exams. Could it be that she was stimulated by something after coming home... Wait, don't tell me...!]
[Uchiha Madara: Yes. It's likely that Satsuki, seeing Nagi being kissed by other girls, was stimulated and thus awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.]
[Tsunade: Ugh... The reason for this awakening... Well, this proves just how important you are to Satsuki. You're quite the sinner, Nagi.]
[ Nagi: ...]
[Uchiha Shisui: But I wonder what abilities Satsuki has gained.]
[Uchiha Madara: Hmm... Satsuki's Mangekyō awakening is quite unusual. It seems her abilities should be very special.]
[The screen continues...]
Namikaze Residence...
Naruko felt as if she had awakened some special ability. Subconsciously, she placed her hand on the desk...
At the same time, Kushina, who was tidying up the living room, suddenly saw her vision blur. Focusing her eyes, she found herself in the sealing space.
She couldn't help but question the Nine-Tails: "Hey, Kurama, I haven't finished cleaning the—"
"Kushina! Something major has happened in your daughter's room! I sense a familiar chakra. You need to go check immediately!"
"What!?"
Hearing that something had happened to her daughter, Kushina dared not delay. She immediately withdrew from the consciousness space and rushed urgently toward Naruko's room.
"Dammit, of all times for Minato to not be back yet. Naruko, please don't let anything happen!?"
Kushina hastily opened the door and shouted:
"Naruko! Naruko, are you okay...?"
The scene in the room made Kushina's pupils contract.
Naruko's room was densely covered with vines, and several small trees had grown on her desk.
At that moment, Naruko was swinging on a vine like a pendulum.
Having once seen the First Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation in action, Kushina immediately recognized this technique.
"This is... Wood Release!?"
