Chapter 71: [Quest 9/100]

Kael left the clothing shop with more bags than he had ever carried in either life. Now that he knew Minato and Kushina were alive and the family business was thriving, money was no longer a concern. He bought several black jackets, plain shirts in dark colors, a few pairs of durable pants, and even some casual wear that looked nothing like the bright orange the original Naruto had favored. The shopkeeper had looked pleased at the large purchase. Kael simply paid and walked out, bags hanging from both hands.

The walk back to his apartment felt longer than usual. He kept thinking about the quiet streets and the fact that no one from his team was around. When he finally reached his door and pushed it open, the first thing he saw was Kushina standing in the middle of the room with a cleaning cloth in one hand and a small stack of his old clothes in the other.

She was rearranging the shelves and wiping down surfaces like she had every right to be there. Kael froze in the doorway. For half a second he considered turning around and walking straight back out.

Kushina looked up and smiled. "There you are. I was starting to think you were avoiding the place."

He stepped inside and set the bags on the nearest chair. "I bought some new clothes."

Kushina walked over and began looking through the bags one by one. "Oh, you bought new ones. And you finally stopped with those orange clothes. Good. They never suited you as much as you thought they did."

Kael gave a short nod but kept his eyes on the floor. He could not look at her directly for long. The memory of the previous incident still sat between them like an invisible wall.

Kushina noticed. She stepped closer and pulled him into a firm hug before he could move away. Her voice was gentle but steady.

"You don’t have to feel any shame with me. What we did that day is natural. It happens to every boy at some point. You were in pain and needed help. That’s all."

Kael stayed still in her arms and listened. The way she spoke made it sound like she was talking to someone with a medical problem rather than a system-forced situation. He felt the urge to correct her, but the words stayed stuck.

She continued, "I already talked with Lady Tsunade. She said these kinds of urges can settle down with time and proper guidance. You don’t have to carry it alone."

Kael’s stomach tightened. He pulled back just enough to speak. "It’s not what you think. I only asked her a few questions. Nothing more." ℯℯ𝘭.

Kushina studied his face for a moment, then nodded as if she had decided to accept the answer for now. "Alright. Either way, don’t feel ashamed. Come to the house tonight for dinner and stay the night. It’s been too long since you slept under our roof."

Kael wanted to refuse. The system had already proven it would not leave the family alone. Staying the night felt like walking into another trap. But refusing would only make her more worried, and that worry would turn into more visits, more questions, and more chances for the system to interfere. He forced himself to nod.

"Okay. I’ll come."

Kushina smiled, gave his arm one last squeeze, and left a short while later. The apartment felt even quieter once she was gone. Kael sat on the edge of the bed, pulled out a manga volume he had bought days earlier, and tried to read. The pages turned, but none of the words stayed in his head. He kept glancing at the window, watching the light change as afternoon slowly became evening.

When the sky finally darkened he stood up, changed into one of the new black shirts, and left for the family house. The walk was short, but every step felt heavier than the last. He reached the front gate, took a breath, and went inside.

Minato was in the living room, pacing back and forth near the low table. He looked restless, almost distracted. When he noticed Kael he stopped and offered a smile that did not quite reach his eyes.

"Naruto. You’re here. Good. Dinner is almost ready."

They exchanged a few ordinary sentences about the weather and training, but Minato’s attention kept drifting. He would start a sentence, then glance toward the window or the door as if expecting someone who was not coming. Kael watched him carefully. It did not take long to understand. Kurenai had stopped contacting him after the night Kael had confronted her. Minato had no idea why the secret meetings had ended, and the sudden silence was eating at him.

Kael kept his expression neutral and thought to himself that he still could not understand the man. Minato had Kushina, a woman who clearly loved him, and yet he had sought comfort in someone else. The contradiction sat uncomfortably in Kael’s mind, but he said nothing.

Kushina called them to the table a few minutes later. Dinner was simple but warm—rice, grilled fish, miso soup, and a few side dishes she had clearly prepared with care. The three of them ate together. Conversation stayed light. Kushina asked about his friends. Minato asked about training. Kael answered with short, careful sentences. No one mentioned the system, the previous incident, or the missing calls that were clearly bothering Minato.

When the meal ended Kael stood and said he would go up to his room. Kushina waved him off with a smile and told him she would bring a fresh blanket in a little while. He climbed the stairs, stepped into the familiar bedroom, and sat on the edge of the bed. The room still held the faint scent of the house—clean wood, laundry, and something that always reminded him of the original Naruto’s childhood.

He had only been sitting for a few minutes when the door opened and Kushina walked in carrying a folded blanket. She set it on the chair near the bed and turned to say something.

The system window appeared in front of Kael’s eyes without warning.

[Quest 9/100 : Cum inside Kushina Mouth]

[Clause : Your Dick will be erect until you cum inside her mouth]

[Time limit : 1 hour]

Kael’s breath caught. The familiar pressure of an unwanted erection began almost immediately, exactly as the clause promised. He kept his face as blank as he could while Kushina finished adjusting the blanket and smiled at him one more time.

"Sleep well, Baby. I’ll see you in the morning."

She left the room and closed the door behind her. The soft click of the latch sounded final.

Kael sat alone on the bed, he stared at the closed door while the timer began to count down, he had to come up with a plan fast.
