In the evening, Watergate returned home.
"Honey, you're back."
Shinna Kushina sensed Watergate's Chakra. She turned around and looked at Watergate in the living room.
"Dinner is ready." Shinna Kushina smiled.
"Mhmm."
Watergate's serious expression relaxed when he saw Shinna Kushina's smile.
...
After dinner, Watergate set up several layers of enchantments in his house.
"Shinna Kushina, I'm going to start."
Watergate frowned slightly. He was still worried about Shinna Kushina.
That was because she could only rely on herself to overcome her dark side. Even Minato could not interfere with her.
"Mhmm."
Shinna Kushina looked very calm and nodded at Watergate.
After receiving a reply, Watergate reached out and grabbed Shinna Kushina's hand. He closed his eyes slightly.
"Whoosh."
From his palm, there was a pure blue Chakra light that was transmitted into Shinna Kushina's body.
He wanted to use spiritual energy to guide Shinna Kushina, but spiritual energy could not exist independently.
Chakra was the medium that could connect Watergate and Shinna Kushina's spiritual energy.
Feeling Watergate's huge Chakra entering her body, Shinna Kushina did not resist and let it flow through her meridians.
Gradually, the Chakra spread through her meridians to a certain part of her body. Shinna Kushina suddenly felt a buzzing in her head.
The feeling was not very intense, but it made her subconsciously close her eyes.
After about a few seconds, the buzzing in her head stopped.
Shinna Kushina slowly opened her eyes. At this time, what appeared in front of her was a white world.
"Looks like it's a success, Watergate."
Her face was as calm as before. Just as she murmured, the white space in front of her trembled slightly. Then, a figure gradually condensed.
Shinna Kushina looked over curiously. At this time, the figure that appeared in front of her was herself!
However, this was not entirely correct. Although the person in front of her had the same appearance and even clothing as her, the pair of eyes were gray.
In the gray, there seemed to be a bit of scarlet, and quite a bit of hostility.
"Are you my own dark side?" Kushina stepped forward and began to look at the person in front of her.
After circling her once, Shinna Kushina pinched her chin and said, "Other than the eyes, even the fluctuations of Chakra are exactly the same."
"You bastard, stop talking to yourself. You're so annoying!"
The veins on the dark side of Shinna Kushina's forehead bulged as he shouted angrily. At the end of his words, there was a strange ending to his words.
"Crack!"
Her red hair fluttered in the wind, and a chain that looked like it was made of gold and iron extended from her back. It shot towards Shinna Kushina.
"As expected, they are exactly the same. Even their impatient tempers are the same."
Shinna Kushina smiled faintly. Similarly, chains extended from behind her and entangled with her dark side's attack.
She stretched out her index finger and scratched her face. Then, she looked at her dark side and said, "Although it's a little strange to say this, you actually attacked yourself. That's too much."
"Why do you look so nonchalant!?"
Shinna Kushina's dark side roared, "Since you know that I am your dark side, you should also know that I am the embodiment of the hatred in your heart."
"Well, of course I know."
Shinna Kushina nodded and said, "I came to see you because I really want to know why I feel hatred deep in my heart."
"Hahaha."
As soon as the voice fell, Shinna Kushina's dark side began to laugh and said, "You actually don't know what you hate?"
"Have you forgotten that you were brought back to the village as a vessel by the people of Wood Leaf?"
"From the beginning, they treated you as a vessel to carry the Nine Tails. They kept a close watch on you. Have you forgotten those days when you were treated like a criminal?"
"And on the first day you came to the village, the people of Wood Leaf Village began to laugh at you. Some people attacked you one after another. They simply treated you as an obstacle!"
The laughter gradually faded, and Shinna Kushina's expression also returned to normal. She said, "About these things, I haven't forgotten any of them."
"Since you haven't forgotten, you should …" Shinna Kushina's dark side wanted to continue.
Shinna Kushina in front of her showed an embarrassed expression on her face and scratched her head.
"I didn't expect that I would be so dishonest in my heart. Until now, I still hold a grudge against Chi Saka Yu and Uchiha Yan for bullying me in school. I was really naive."
"You …" Shinna Kushina's dark side was stunned.
Shinna Kushina looked over at this time and smiled, "Thank you for telling me this."
"I'm also sorry that you have to bear this all the time."
She nodded to her dark side and said softly.
"However, I still remember everything that you've said."
"It's just that I originally thought that I didn't care about these things at all."
"The past?
You let it go so easily? "Shinna Kushina's dark side trembled and roared.
"Otherwise?"
Shinna Kushina smiled and said, "Some things are childhood things. Chi Saka Yu has already sacrificed himself in the previous war. He is the hero of Wood Leaf Village, and Uchiha Yan is the same."
"Wood Leaf Village?"
Shinna Kushina's dark side said coldly, "All of them used you as a tool, a vessel!"
"No."
Shinna Kushina shook her head and said, "It's not like that. There was a person who loved me from the beginning, and he sacrificed a lot without me knowing."
"Compared to what I carried, the burden on his shoulders was heavier."
"Perhaps the purpose of me being brought back to Wood Leaf Village in the beginning was unfortunate."
Shinna Kushina's voice paused for a moment, raised her eyes, and said with her eyes full of tenderness, "But now, I think I'm lucky, because if I wasn't brought back to Wood Leaf Village …"
"I wouldn't have met him. Then, my life would be the most unfortunate."
"Now, I feel very happy. Although the two children sometimes make me angry, they are very kind and good children, and I love them very much."
"Naruto did what he did at that time because of his duty, for this village and his companions."
"It was coming to Wood Leaf Village that allowed me to have friends, lovers, and everything I have now. This misfortune is the greatest fortune in my life."
Speaking of this, Shinna Kushina's hand holding Watergate's hand tightened.
"Shinna Kushina …" Watergate whispered and held her hand tightly.
Shinna Kushina put her hand on her heart, felt it beating, and said, "Now, this place is filled with love, so, for them, I must continue to move forward!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her eyes, and her expression was incomparably determined.
"Is that so?"
Shinna Kushina's dark side whispered. Her originally cold body suddenly felt a wave of warmth.
She did not resist, and let the feeling spread throughout her body, and her figure gradually faded and disappeared from this space.
"Is this the love in your heart …"
