Chapter 24 - 24. Trust

Kushina had a surprised expression on her face as she gazed at her husband who previously had a civilian level chakra pool, who now had a chakra pool bigger than the average Jonin.

"H-How" Kushina asked as she couldn't understand how his chakra had increased so suddenly and how he was able to hide it so well. She is currently the best sensor in Konoha... she was that confident in her abilities after unlocking her Kekkei Genkai.

" I think I unlocked a Kekkei Genkai while training, i do not know the specifics but I can hide my Chakra and also training brings me greater results " Itsuki said with a smile.

Kushina felt a lot of thoughts twirling in her head, she felt a little hurt that he hid it from her. 

"Why" Kushina asked in a hurt tone.

Itsuki hearing her hurt tone of voice felt a little bad for lying to her, he was not exactly lying but also not telling the complete truth.

It's not that he doesn't trust her, but it is better if she doesn't know about it, and even if she knows, it wouldn't do her any good. 

There are things the fewer people who know, the better.

" It's not that I didn't trust you...It's just I didn't know how to bring this up to you without sounding suspicious. I didn't want to make you misunderstand that I had ulterior motives" It was somewhat true, Itsuki was worried that if he showcased him having chakra Kushina would think he had other intentions. 

Gazing into Itsuki's sincere eyes Kushina felt a little bad for doubting him even if just for a moment.

"Sorry, Dear~" Kushina said while leaning in to give him a loving kiss conveying her emotions. Both of them separated from each other and lay in each other's embrace. 

Kushina was very curious about Itsuki's awakened Kekkei Genkei and also about him, so the couple talked to each other about various things...

.....

It was 5 in the morning and Itsuki slowly got up while making sure not to wake up Kushina.

He went towards the backyard to do his morning training session...

.....

[ Physique: 1.30 Kakashi ]

[ Spirit: 1.30 Kakashi ]

[ Chakra: 1.20 Kakashi ]

[ Chakra control: 0.05 Tsunade ]

[ Indomitable will 3% ]

After checking his stats, he was very satisfied and knew it would only get better with accelerated development.

He felt his accelerated development was similar to Puri Puri prisoner, not Saitama.

He went towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast because he wanted to make an easy meal for Kushina when she woke up...

.....

While he was cooking food with a soft smile on his face he couldn't help but let his mind gravitate towards the conversation he had with Kushina.

He felt like a big weight was taken off his shoulders after talking to Kushina. Although he didn't tell her everything, he told her enough to not hide anything substantial.

They felt like they got a lot closer after that conversation as they shared a lot about themselves.

She talked a lot about her childhood in Uzushiogakure and also her time with Mito.

Telling him how kind Mito was to her , how she taught her how to counter the hate from the Kyuubi.

While he also shared some things about himself from his memories.

Although a little apprehensive, he asked Kushina if she could teach him Fuinjutsu and he was relieved that Kushina was very happy to teach him and she even jokingly (seriously) asked him to call her Kushina sensei during the session.

He asked to teach him some Taijutsu too, which Kushina was happy to do as she could beat him up and then nurse him with care while showcasing her wife energy.

With these thoughts in mind, he finished preparing the food and left to wake up Kushina, not before covering everything with a lid...

.....

"Kushina wake up " Itsuki gently called out to her hoping to wake her up.

"Mmu~" Kushina let out a dissatisfied hum in return.

Itsuki couldn't help but find her adorable.

" Breakfast is ready, it's time to take a shower " He said in a gentle tone while stroking her hair.

"Come on ~ " Kushina said in a sleepy but spoiled tone, reaching out her arms towards him.

Itsuki didn't say anything, he just picked her up while she hugged him like a Koala.

He brushed her teeth for her while she was still a little out of it. After making her brush her teeth properly he removed his clothes and what little Kushina was wearing, and walked towards the showers with her in his arms...

.....

Itsuki was relaxing in the hot tub with Kushina in his arms with a satisfied expression.

" So does anybody else know about your Kekkei Genkai? " Kushina asked with some curiosity.

" Nope, You are the first person " He said in a leisurely tone.

" Hehe~ Is that so " Kishuna replied while feeling giddy inside.

" Come on let's finish up and have breakfast" Itsuki said while carrying her out...

...

After having breakfast Itsuki was prepared to go to his shop.

" Nee~ Itsuki can I also come with you ~" Kushina asked him.

Itsuki thought for a moment but denied it in the end.

" Kushina it's better if we don't act too close outside "

Itsuki said with a little bit of concern as he still wasn't strong enough to move against the self-proclaimed 'Protector' of Konoha.

*Tch*

Kushina clicked her tongue in annoyance, it's not like she didn't understand. If she acted too close to Itsuki, Danzo might not be able to sit still, the bandaged cunt is too paranoid and has lost a few marbles.

Kushina wanted to show off in front of that red-eyed brat and claim her supremacy, but it seemed her plans might have to wait. 

Itsuki gazed helplessly at the pouting Kushina, he didn't want to risk it yet.

From what he knew of Danzo he was a very paranoid person and not very bright too. 

What do you expect from someone who sent a child to assassinate one of the strongest Kages of his generation?

Itsuki only needed a few months to not fear any assassination from the ROOT.

With those thoughts, Itsuki gave Kushina a gentle kiss on the forehead before leaving...

...

A purple-haired teen with lightly spiky hair in a ponytail was impatiently waiting in front of a closed store.

" Damn it! I'm so hungry. When will the boss arrive? " The woman said while rubbing her tummy.

While the woman was impatiently waiting in front of the shop a surprised voice came from behind her.

"Anko?" 

*******

Some MFs had the audacity to complain about the previous chapter, do you mfs know the last chapter was double the size of the normal chapter that means you got 2 in 1 offer.

The 'Smash Finally' chapter was 3000 words, usual chapters are only 900- 1000 words.

So updates might get a little slow cuz I got a job.

Hurray!

I gotta work from 9 to 6 , and when I reach home its already 7:00.
