Naruto: Reborn with the Template System

Guts had just entered the house.

She obviously had no Observation Haki, but Kurenai's voice suddenly came from inside the house

"Guts, you're back~"

Soon, a seat was set at home, and the wife-like Kurenai walked out of the house.

"How did you know it was me?"

Guts was a little curious.

Kurenai smiled slightly. Guts's face also looked a little confused.

"I don't know, I can only say it's a feeling. The feeling when you come back is different from Tsunade-sensei and Hinata-chan."

Kurenai's words touched Guts.

Whether it was appearance or strength, Kurenai wasn't the most outstanding of his women.

But the way she quietly supported him, without needing to say much, always gave Guts the deepest sense of comfort...like he was truly home.

"Kurenai."

Guts suddenly called out her name.

"Hmm?"

Kurenai was slightly taken aback.

"I love you."

Guts's sudden confession made Kurenai blush for a long time, and she said awkwardly,

"What are you saying all of a sudden?! It's not like we're kids anymore… I'm embarrassed."

"I want you. Right now."

With that, Guts scooped Kurenai into his arms and carried her into the room.

Feeling the burning affection from her man, Kurenai didn't resist...instead, she responded with equal passion.

A few hours later...

Guts looked down at her passed-out face, still flushed and twitching slightly.

He grinned.

Then pulled her into his arms, wrapping her up against his chest.

Within minutes, both of them drifted off to sleep

---

A lot had happened in the past two days.

First, Konan's new identity and residence had been arranged.

She wouldn't go out and perform missions like an ordinary Konoha shinobi.

Instead, like Terumi Mei who was temporarily living in Konoha, she stayed in a private residence arranged for her by Namikaze Minato.

Her only wish now was to avenge Nagato.

Everything else... could wait.

And because Konan had revealed everything about Akatsuki, Jiraiya didn't need to infiltrate the Rain Village to investigate. His life was spared a major risk.

Also, the incident of Pain's invasion of Konoha was unlikely to happen anymore.

Instead, it was very likely that Obito, who had acquired the Rinnegan, would now personally handle the capture missions.

And the possibility of directly launching the Fourth Ninja World War wasn't small.

When Guts returned, Hinata and Hanabi were extremely excited.

During this time, Guts also intensified their training.

Compared to how long it had taken Shisui and Anko to grow strong, these two were improving even faster.

Because... the Fourth Ninja World War might come sooner than expected.

He had to raise them to the upper-Kage-level as soon as possible.

The setting sun dipped into the horizon.

But the training of the two Byakugan princesses continued.

The clash of four palms echoed, and the bursts of force shattered rocks beneath their feet.

"Ah!"

Hanabi let out a low cry. Her quickly moving body turned into a blur, her right cheek barely grazing Hinata's fingertips as she dodged the strike.

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven!"

Because of the height difference, Hanabi's palm could only aim toward Hinata's collarbone.

Hinata's Byakugan flared. Chakra swirled in her left hand, turning into a cyan flame—just like Ōtsutsuki Tosen who had once fought Guts on the moon. She struck with a backhand blow.

Hanabi's eyes widened. It was too late to dodge.

Hinata's palm connected.

Puff—!

After rolling a few times on the lawn, Hanabi finally stopped, looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Hinata rushed over in panic.

"Ah! Sorry, Hanabi, are you okay?"

She grabbed her sister's shoulders anxiously.

"It's okay, no problem,"

Hanabi wiped the bruises on her arm and joked, "As long as my face's fine."

Then, with a mix of awe and admiration: "Onee-san, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to fuse yin and yang release into Gentle Fist!"

Originally, Hanabi had been one step ahead of Hinata, but now Hinata was catching up rapidly.

She was only a step away from breaking into the Kage-level.

Hinata, a little embarrassed, said, "I'm older than you. If we were the same age, I wouldn't be able to compare to you."

"My sister's only flaw is being too humble when she doesn't need to be."

Hanabi wagged her index finger playfully.

By now, the sun had completely set.

According to Kurenai's rules, once the sun went down, it was time to go home for dinner.

Covered in sweat and small injuries, the sisters were about to call Guts—until they noticed something.

He was sitting cross-legged again on the ground… entering that strange state of "meditation and practice."

Hanabi glanced sideways at Hinata with a teasing grin.

"Onee-san, wanna do it?"

Hinata blushed hard but didn't act.

Hanabi pouted. She knew her sister's personality too reserved. Without a partner in crime, she'd never make a move.

So, with a mischievous glint, Hanabi leaned toward Guts's face to give him a peck.

Just as both sisters were about to repeat their usual sneaky ritual

Guts opened his eyes with a tired look.

"Don't kiss me. Seriously."

The two girls froze in place, even Hanabi forgetting to wrap her arms around Guts's neck.

Five seconds later, the synchronized screams of the sisters startled a crow perched on a nearby branch.

"Se-Sensei, you... you, how long have you known?!"

Hinata's face flushed even redder, steam practically rising from her head like she was about to faint.

Hanabi wasn't doing much better. Her long bangs hid her face, so it was hard to tell just how red she was.

"At first, I thought it was just a one-time thing. But you two just kept pushing it. I didn't expect this to escalate…"

Guts was honestly speechless.

Turns out, the ones who looked the most innocent often hid the craziest instincts.

Suddenly, Hanabi still red-faced lifted her head and pointed accusingly.

"But—but Guts! You didn't stop us! You could've said something the first time, but you didn't! You were enjoying it, weren't you?! How shameless can you be!"

Guts almost choked on air.

These two were the ones who snuck up and drenched him with kisses yet now he was the shameless one?

And worse… she wasn't entirely wrong.

Even if he thought they'd stop once their curiosity was satisfied… he hadn't exactly stopped them either.

Seeing Guts hesitate, Hanabi sensed an opportunity and puffed up proudly.

"Ha! You mute! You don't even have the right to lecture us anymore! If you push it, I'll go tattle to Kurenai-sensei...we're all going down together!"

Guts's face darkened.

This little brat was threatening him now?

Immediately, he pulled both Hinata and Hanabi into his arms with one arm, smirking coldly.

"Then stop being sneaky. How about we do it openly now?"
