Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Ryun knelt beside Kushina and began transferring his chakra into her.

After a short while, Kushina slowly opened her eyes.

The moment she saw Ryun, she froze for a second before instinctively breaking into a smile.

At this moment, she was still half-asleep, thinking she was dreaming...

In her 'dream,' Ryun was just as handsome as ever, his smile just as warm.

"Time to wake up..."

The gentle call sent a chill down Kushina's spine.

"!!!"

"Wh-where am I?" Kushina widened her eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Where else? This is my home," Ryun replied with a smile.

"Then the place I was sleeping..."

"Was my bed," Ryun finished for her.

Kushina's pupils shrank, and she immediately scrambled up from the bed.

"H-how did I end up in your bed? How long was I asleep?"

"What time is it now? What happened...?" Kushina's face turned red as she fired off questions rapidly. She couldn't quite remember what had happened.

Being hypnotized by the three-tomoe Sharingan, the short three hours felt like an entire day of sleep, leaving her mental state significantly refreshed.

"This morning, you collapsed from exhaustion at the table. I didn't want you to sleep uncomfortably, so I carried you to my room to rest."

"You slept for about three hours. It's noon now."

Ryun answered all her questions with a smile.

"Ah... I fainted???"

"No wonder I don't remember anything, just suddenly waking up like this..."

Kushina grabbed her hair, shaking her head slightly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Alright, don't worry about the details. Come out with me for lunch. My mom's waiting for you outside!"

Ryun stood up from the floor.

"W-what? A-Auntie is waiting for me?? For lunch???" Kushina stammered in shock.

"Yeah, don't be nervous. My mom remembers you well, and she likes you a lot. Ever since she met you last time, she's been telling me to invite you over..."

Seeing Kushina's nervousness, Ryun reassured her gently.

"B-but I haven't told my family yet..."

Kushina was worried that Mito Uzumaki would be concerned about her.

"No need to worry. I already sent a shadow clone to inform her. Mito-sama knows and has already given permission."

"!!!"

Kushina's face showed surprise. Ryun was as reliable as ever...

"Th-then, about me sleeping here... Auntie must know too!"

At this point, Kushina felt a pang of regret. She was almost too embarrassed to face Ryun's mother.

If she hadn't 'suddenly' fainted, she wouldn't be in this awkward situation. What if Auntie thought she was shameless or a girl with loose morals?

"Relax, relax. I told her you overexerted yourself practicing genjutsu and passed out from mental exhaustion. She's worried about you, so she definitely wouldn't overthink it like you are..."

Ryun waved his hand reassuringly. Kushina visibly relaxed.

"You're so clever... Then let's hurry, we shouldn't keep Auntie waiting..."

Kushina grabbed his hand and urged him anxiously.

"Wait... There's something I need your help with..."

"What is it?"

Ryun asked her to help cover for his lie.

Earlier, he had told Asuka that the reason he knew how to cook was because Kushina had taught him...

If the two women sat down for a meal together, Ryun suspected his gossip-loving mother would definitely bring it up.

"What! You lied to Auntie too??? And how do you even know how to cook??? Why did you lie...?"

Kushina was both shocked and curious.

Ryun was the type to 'lie to gods and deceive ghosts.' Kushina had no idea how many more secrets he was hiding.

"Mom's waiting for us to eat... Let's go have lunch first. After we're done, I'll explain everything to you in private," Ryun reminded her.

"Right..."

"But you better not lie again. After eating, you have to explain everything properly... Otherwise, I won't cover for you..."

Kushina seized the chance to threaten him.

"Uh..."

Soon, the two arrived at the dining table one after the other.

"Nana..."

The moment Asuka saw Kushina, she warmly greeted her, calling her 'Nana' affectionately.

"A-Auntie..."

Kushina remained flushed the entire time, responding timidly to Asuka's questions and concerns.

"Alright... If we don't eat soon, the food will get cold..." Ryun's stomach growled loudly in protest.

"Ah, right, right, let's eat!" Asuka cheerfully guided Kushina to her seat.

During the meal, Asuka did bring up Ryun's cooking skills, praising Kushina effusively.

She called her the most talented, most well-behaved girl in the entire ninja world, someone who had mastered all kinds of cooking at such a young age...

Kushina spent the entire meal awkwardly smiling and shoveling rice into her mouth, her face never losing its redness.

Ryun had dumped all the 'blame' on her, and because of their earlier agreement, Kushina had no choice but to play along...

Whenever Asuka looked away, Kushina shot Ryun furious glares. If Asuka hadn't been present, she would've already started beating him up...

Ryun sat there with a faint smile, continuously serving food to both women while making no effort to help Kushina out of her predicament. Instead, he occasionally chimed in with exaggerated praise.

Hearing Ryun's smooth, effortless lies, Kushina gritted her teeth in frustration but couldn't show it openly. She could only channel her anger into eating, attacking the rice with a vengeance...

After lunch, Asuka kept Kushina around for more small talk. It wasn't until Ryun suggested going out to train that Asuka reluctantly let the girl go.

"You lying, deceitful, horrible scammer!"

The moment they were a short distance from the house, Kushina could no longer hold back her anger and kicked Ryun to the ground.

"I helped cover for you, and not only did you not feel grateful, not only did you not help me out, but you also kept piling more 'credit' on me!"

"And you had the nerve to smirk the whole time during the meal? You like laughing, huh? Why aren't you laughing now?"

Kushina leaned down, grabbing Ryun's collar with a menacing grin.

"I-it's a misunderstanding... I wasn't smirking... N-Nana... Don't hit me yet, let me explain..."

Ryun waved his hands frantically, trying to calm her down, forcing an awkward smile onto his face.

His smile only made things worse. The moment Kushina saw it, flames seemed to shoot from her eyes. Without another word, she punched him square in the face!

"Ah..."
