"Uh... Haku seems to have... misunderstood us!" Lin Feng stood up, looking at the beautiful young woman Ying whose face was equally flushed.
"I'll... I'll explain it to her later!" Ying lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Feng's burning gaze.
Lin Feng felt awkward staying there and chuckled awkwardly: "Well, I'll go out first!"
"Mhm."
Rushing to the living room as if escaping, he found Kimimaro lying on the ground, completely exhausted, unable to move a single finger.
He was drenched in sweat. It seemed Kushina's training was anything but easy, giving Lin Feng a shiver just looking at him.
"Lord Lin Feng!" Seeing Lin Feng come out, Kimimaro immediately tried to get up, but Lin Feng pressed him down: "You look absolutely wiped out! Rest for a while!"
Kimimaro nodded.
"Where is Elder Sister Nai Nai (Kushina)?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
"Sensei went to take a bath!"
Lin Feng asked again: "Did you see Haku just now?"
"She ran outside!" Kimimaro replied.
Lin Feng immediately went out after her.
He wasn't just chasing her to explain the situation. Haku was still young, and her mother had recently been deeply hurt by her father's betrayal. Seeing such a compromising scene, Lin Feng genuinely worried she might take it to heart!
Stepping out of the house, a cool breeze greeted him.
Their "refugee camp" was situated right next to a lush forest.
He saw Haku's small figure standing by the stream, gazing at the clear water.
"Haku!" Lin Feng walked toward her.
Haku's delicate body trembled slightly. She turned around and, like her mother, bowed very respectfully: "Lord Lin Feng!"
"You really shouldn't call me that!" Lin Feng chuckled: "It sounds awkward. Your mom does the same thing."
"Then... did my mother make you angry?" Haku looked at Lin Feng worriedly.
Lin Feng was immediately amused by her concern: "Oh, you! You aren't my servants, so why do you keep calling me that!"
"But Lord Lin Feng saved us!" Haku insisted.
"That's true, but you aren't my subordinates, are you?" Lin Feng gently stroked Haku's head and pulled her down to sit beside him. "You are yourselves. Even though I saved you, your lives are still your own!"
"Is that true?" Haku tilted her head. "But Lord Lin Feng saved me and Mom, so our lives naturally belong to you!" She was still young and didn't quite understand this concept.
Lin Feng didn't press the issue, knowing she would understand when she grew up. "But don't keep calling me 'Lord' or using formal language. I don't like hearing that."
"Then, what should I call you?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and smiled: "My current name is Kamikaze Yue (神风月). You can call me Brother Feng or Brother Yue!"
"Then I'll call you Brother Feng!" Haku gave a sweet smile, but then a shy blush suddenly spread across her face: "Then, were Brother Feng and Mom... kissing just now?"
"What do you think?" Lin Feng looked at the little girl, unable to resist the urge to tease her.
But Haku thought Lin Feng was confirming it, making her feel even more shy. She was young and had limited education, knowing only that kissing was reserved for married couples.
"Well, Haku, do you know what kissing is?" Lin Feng pinched her small nose and chuckled: "Have you ever seen anyone kiss?"
"I just saw it!" Haku's face grew redder. "Brother Feng and Mom... you were kissing!"
Lin Feng suddenly laughed. Haku was too cute! They certainly hadn't been kissing! The little girl must have misjudged the angle.
"Nngh, Brother Feng..." Haku wriggled playfully, hugging Lin Feng's arm, looking incredibly adorable, "Can I kiss you?"
"Huh?" This time, Lin Feng was the one stunned. But since Haku was asking, he had no reason to refuse! "Go ahead and kiss me, then!" He leaned his face toward her.
Haku tightly gripped Lin Feng's clothes, and with nervous excitement, lightly pecked him on the cheek.
"Haha!" Lin Feng suddenly burst into laughter. Haku was adorable! His future wife made his heart flutter, and he wished she would grow up quickly!
It doesn't matter, though. I'll never age, forever eighteen—how wonderful!
Lin Feng lifted Haku onto his lap: "Haku, what did you learn in training today?"
Sitting in Lin Feng's arms, a flash of excitement crossed Haku's eyes: "I learned to throw kunai! And senbon! Auntie Nai Nai taught me, and she even praised me for learning well!"
"That's so smart!" Lin Feng praised her generously. "Once your Bloodline Limit is fully developed, you'll be even stronger!"
"Then will I be able to protect Mom?" Haku's primary concern was still her mother. She never wanted to see her mother bullied again!
Lin Feng nodded: "Of course! Haku is the best! You can definitely protect your Mom! Maybe one day, your Big Brother will need you to protect him too!"
Haku tilted her head back, smiling happily: "That sounds great! I'll train hard starting now, and when I grow up, I will definitely protect Mom and Big Brother!"
Truthfully, Haku's Ice Release Bloodline Limit was formidable.
She could manipulate both water and wind to form ice.
Furthermore, as Lin Feng knew, Haku and Itachi Uchiha were the only two people capable of forming seals with just one hand!
If she hadn't been so kind-hearted, Naruto and Sasuke would have been killed long ago!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng grew excited! He was determined to change the tragedies in Naruto! At the very least, he wouldn't let any of the beautiful women suffer!
The Fourth Mizukage Yagura's jinchuriki, Anko Mitarashi, Mikoto Uchiha... how could he allow these beauties to be harmed? Besides, some of them were part of his bet, and his return to the modern era depended on his success!
"What are you thinking about, Brother Feng?" Haku asked, touching Lin Feng's face.
"I was thinking about where to take you to play next!"
Haku said happily: "Really? Can we bring Mom too?"
"Haku is such a good child, always thinking of her mother," Lin Feng said.
"Hey, Brother Feng!" Haku's expression suddenly changed. She looked up at Lin Feng expectantly, gripping his shirt: "Will you treat Mom well?"
