Namikaze Minato and Shinnosuke looked confused.
"That's right. Kushina guessed correctly. It feels familiar because I developed it based on the Tailed Beast Bomb.", Arisu explained directly.
Kurama inside Kushina clicked his tongue slightly.
"I knew it."
———
[Outside]
Kushina suddenly understood, then looked a little proud.
"So it's a weaker version of the Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Arisu nodded.
"You could say that."
In the original story, the Rasengan was also developed by studying the Tailed Beast Bomb.
In a sense, it really was a "youth version" of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Hearing that, Kushina grinned and looked at the two boys.
"Hehe, study hard. I hope the two of you can team up and beat me."
Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately looked unconvinced.
"Hmph, if Minato and I work together, we might not lose to you!", Shinnosuke said.
Looking at the three of them, Arisu smiled slightly.
Kushina wasn't joking.
Minato and Shinnosuke really might not be able to beat her.
After all, Kurama was now cooperating completely.
Kushina was already a perfect Jinchuriki.
And this wasn't half of the Nine-Tails. It was the complete Nine-Tails.
Naruto could enter Golden Naruto mode with only half of Kurama.
Kushina had the complete version. In a few more years, you might even see a golden Kushina.
So Minato and Shinnosuke would very likely lose to her.
Not just those two.
If Kushina went all out, the entire Leaf Village would probably need all three Sannin working together, or Arisu himself, to take her down.
"You little brats, why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
Tsunade walked out of the mansion wearing a loose silk nightgown. Barefoot, she stepped onto the slightly cool wooden floor. One hand rested on her waist, and her golden hair hung messily over her shoulders.
"Good morning, Master's wife!"
The three immediately stopped fooling around. They straightened their backs and greeted her together, their voices unconsciously dropping several tones.
Everyone knew Teacher Arisu was a gentleman. He never got truly angry even when people joked around with him.
But Lady Tsunade was different.
This famous hot-tempered princess of Konoha was even more fiery and domineering than Kushina.
Tsunade glanced at the brand-new black jonin uniforms in their hands and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? You're all jonin now? Sixteen years old. Not bad. Arisu, you're pretty good at teaching students."
"They're talented and willing to work hard."
Arisu smiled and shook his head.
"Even without me, they'd still become pillars of Konoha in the future."
Tsunade couldn't be bothered listening to polite talk like that. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the house.
"Alright, alright. Stop chatting with them and come inside. Let them mess around in the yard by themselves."
"Not so fast."
Arisu patted the back of her hand and turned toward his students.
"Practice controlling the chakra flow of the Rasengan in the yard first. I'll go make a pot of tea and bake some cakes for you."
"Yay! Teacher is the best!"
"I love Teacher's matcha red bean cakes!"
Kushina jumped up immediately, her eyes sparkling.
Minato had already hurried into the bamboo grove in the yard and started practicing the Rasengan.
Shinnosuke quickly followed him and squatted nearby, carefully studying the chakra circulation path Arisu had demonstrated earlier.
Inside the house, warm golden sunlight shone through the glass windows onto the wooden kitchen counter.
Arisu tied on a checkered apron and had just taken out a bag of cake flour when a warm, soft body pressed against him from behind.
"Tsk, you're really going to make them cakes?"
Tsunade rested her chin lightly on his shoulder. Her warm breath brushed against his ear.
Arisu paused and turned his head slightly toward her.
"What? You don't welcome them here?"
"I do."
Tsunade curled her lips.
Her arms slowly wrapped around his waist, and her fingertips lightly traced across his lower abdomen. Her voice dropped low, carrying a sly smile.
"But I didn't drag you inside so you could play chef for them."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Arisu set down the flour bag, sounding somewhat helpless.
He wanted to play dumb, but Tsunade was clearly not easy to fool.
Tsunade said nothing.
She simply tightened her arms around him, buried her face against his back, and let out a mischievous laugh.
Arisu frowned slightly and looked out the window.
Through the clean glass, he could clearly see the three students training hard beneath the bamboo grove.
The grove was only about fifty meters away.
And ninja hearing was very sharp.
"Don't mess around. The students are still outside."
Arisu lowered his voice, sounding somewhat hesitant.
Tsunade lifted her head, moved close to his ear, lightly licked his earlobe, and looked at him with moist eyes.
"Doesn't that make it even more exciting?"
She pinched his waist and spoke with a somewhat smug, crafty tone.
"Besides, weren't you the one who insisted on buying such a remote estate because you were afraid I'd be too noisy and disturb the neighbors?"
Arisu rubbed his forehead.
Ever since they got married, Tsunade had become increasingly bold.
Before, on the Hokage Rock, in Konoha Cemetery, in the ANBU headquarters, even in front of the tomb of the First Hokage Man and inside the Sage of Six Paths Temple...
He remembered one memorial ceremony.
Arisu had brought Tsunade to pay respects to the First Hokage Man.
When she saw no one around, Tsunade dragged him to the First Hokage Man's grave and...
In short, Tsunade was even more disrespectful toward the gods than Uchiha Yui.
At least Uchiha Yui only teased with words and stopped once she realized something was wrong.
Tsunade, on the other hand, was completely disrespectful.
Fortunately, the First Hokage and the Sage of Six Paths were both his own identities.

[In The Bamboo Grove]
Kushina narrowed her eyes toward the mansion window and shook Minato and Shinnosuke beside her.
"Minato, is Teacher making cakes? Why does it feel like Teacher and Master's wife are fighting?"
"Nothing bad is going to happen, right? They aren't arguing, are they?"
Kushina squinted worriedly toward the window. The glass and decorations blocked her view, so she couldn't see clearly what they were doing.
"Don't bother me, Kushina. I'm studying the Rasengan."
Minato didn't even look up.
Shinnosuke outright ignored Kushina and continued practicing the Rasengan seriously.
Kushina puffed her cheeks slightly.
"What are they doing in there?"

[Graveyard Of The Mountains]
"Lord Madara, Lord Tobirama, Lord Izuna. The Sixth Hokage of Konoha is Shimura Danzo. He came to power through a coup, but Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't resist."
"According to our intelligence, the Sixth Hokage seems to have some intention of clearing Lord Madara's and Lord Tobirama's names..."
Obito appeared in the cave and reported.
Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow and looked at Izuna.
"Oh? Interesting. This Danzo seems to be your student as well."
After hearing that Danzo had taken power through a coup, Uchiha Izuna looked worried.
"Those two children... Is Hiruzen alright?"
