"I only tell you one thing, and that is that Kurama-kun won't be happy when he finds out that you endangered our daughter" - said Mikoto neutrally - "Even, I wouldn't be surprised if he cut off your sex for another month."
"Oh no!" - Kushina exclaimed as she disappeared from the place.
"Was that necessary?" - Anko asked, though honestly she found it hilarious.
"Hmph, that gains for doing something stupid without thinking about the consequences" - Mikoto snorted as everything went back to normal.
"Now that Kushina-san is gone, can I swear?" - Tayuya asked as the others gave her a blank look.
"I recommend you don't because I'm not in a good mood" - growled Mikoto as she watched the dark pink haired girl start to tremble.
* * * * *
"I wonder what Kushina Kaasan gave me" - muttered Izumi as she opened the small bag her second mother had given her, noticing how inside were small spheres of multiple colors - "Soldier pills?"
Izumi was surprised to see this, more so when she noticed the small message written on a sheet - "Let's see, soldier pills, V5 model, triple as powerful as the V4 version."
The Kitsune girl was silent as she remembered all the information she knew about the soldier pills that her other mother, Tsume, had created thanks to the ingredients of Uzushiogakure no Sato, and the information obtained by the Akimichi clan.
"If I remember correctly, the V4 model could allow a shinobi to work for two days without eating" - muttered Izumi as her eyes sparkled slightly - "These were categorized as S rank pills because of their effectiveness, although you couldn't eat more than one per week because the body wouldn't handle the load of energy they released."
Izumi smiled slightly because with these pills, Inuyasha could train as much as he wanted, incidentally she could try to give them to the others to train with, though she quickly shook her head because this would be the worst mistake of her life, after all, she was almost completely sure that Kagome and the other humans wouldn't be able to withstand the energy of the pills, and it was even quite likely that they would end up exploding because of it.
"Yura could take advantage of the pills" - Izumi nodded before walking over to where the group was resting after their latest adventure.
"Huh? Izumi-san?" - Kagome said in surprise - "Where's Inuyasha?"
"He has to be waiting for me at the big tree" - replied Izumi as she shook her head - "I was thinking that this is a good time for us to start with our training."
"We do it every day" - Miroku replied as he shook his head after seeing that Sango didn't seem too happy with the idea of talking with him even though they had been traveling together for quite some time.
"You mean we should increase our training regimen?" - Sango asked in surprise before nodding - "Makes sense, besides, I also have to adjust Kohaku's training level."
Kohaku's smile froze when he heard this as he thought to himself that his sister was far more ruthless than his father when he was alive"
"I understand, and it makes sense" - Miroku nodded as he shook his head - "During our last encounter with Naraku, he basically knocked me out of the game with his bugs, so I find it a good idea for me to train covering those very specific moments"
Sango gave a quizzical look to the monk, who smiled when she noticed the demon hunter's slight appreciation, though his expression froze when he noticed how her expression turned apathetic again.
"I understand" - Kagome nodded as she pondered - "And how will we be able to increase our training?"
"That's for me to take care of" - Izumi replied as her eyes glittered slightly - "Although I'm not as cruel as Kushina Kaasan, I'm not going to let you rest until you complete the daily training..."
"I recommend that you take the training seriously" - Shippo said as he looked at Kagome and the others - "Kurama Oji-san told me that Kushina Oba-san is a sadistic trainer."
Kagome shivered slightly before shaking her head.
"I'll call you when I'm done with the training ground" - Izumi said before disappearing from the place.
"Does anyone else have a bad feeling after Izumi mentioned one of her mothers?" - Kagome asked as she looked at her fellow travelers.
"Now that you mention it, I also felt a shiver run through my tail" - replied Shippo as he looked around fearfully, as if a dangerous predator was in the area.
"Really? I don't feel anything" - Kohaku replied as he looked around before shaking his head - "Anyway, I guess we'll just have to get ready."
* * * * *
"Hmm, they're a group with potential" - muttered Kushina, who was watching everything from the shadows, mostly to make sure nothing bad happened after Inuyasha consumed the soldier pills she had given Izumi - "Maybe I should take this opportunity and appear in front of the group to train them, so I could watch them more accurately, and prevent something strange from happening, although at the same time it's possible that I'll do something horrible to that boy, mostly because of an instinctive move because of Jiraiya..."
Kushina was silent before nodding - "Ok, let's do it, I just hope Kurama doesn't find out about this, or I'll be in trouble..."
What Kushina didn't know, was that the others seemed to have no problem with this, after all, she(Kushina), had the most personal time together with their husband.
* * * * *
"That was a good nap" - Kurama said as he got out of bed with a huge smile. He felt as good as new, though at the same time he was a bit confused, mostly because he hadn't seen anyone entering his room, especially Kushina - "Did something happen?"
Kurama quickly got up and walked towards the door, place he saw Kaguya waiting for him.
"Good thing you woke up" - Kaguya said while looking at her husband.
"It's not to surprise you either, I mean, I just slept" - Kurama said while raising an eyebrow - "Did something happen?"
"Why should something happen while you were sleeping?" - Kaguya asked while raising an eyebrow - "I came to see you because I felt that you woke up from your short slumber to let you know that dinner is ready."
"Thank you, although it's a bit strange that you're the one who was the first to come to see me after waking me up, usually the one who shows up is Kushi-chan" - replied Kurama with a frown as he looked around - "Speaking of her..."
"Do you want to know where Kushina-san is?" - Kaguya asked as she cocked her head to the side.
"I'm a little curious" - Kurama replied as he nodded.
"Well, she went after Izumi-chan" - replied Kaguya as she explained what had happened.
Kurama's expression paled as he heard the silver-haired woman's account - "What?!"
* * * * *
"What?!"
"Huh, that was Kurama?" - Tsume asked in surprise. She had returned from her meeting with the wolf clan, who treated her as one of their own because of her clear canine ancestry - "Why is he yelling so furiously?"
"Possibly, someone must have told him about what Kushina did" - Mikoto replied boredly.
"What did she do this time?" - Tsume asked with a frown - "Did she cover up Naruto's pranks?"
"No, this time it was something worse" - replied Mikoto with a frown as she explained the situation.
"Did that idiot take my pills?!" - Tsume exclaimed angrily as she grabbed a chair and threw it against the floor - "I'm going to beat her until she learns not to come into my office to take my stuff!"
"What's wrong with them?" - Anko asked as she raised an eyebrow at the sight of the woman's fury.
"Those pills I modified them during our stay in this dimension, I used some materials from this place, which makes them even more unstable" - Tsume replied with a frown.
"What?!" - Mikoto exclaimed as she grabbed her harem sister by the shoulders and lashed her - "What are the effects now?!"
"They're the same, it's just that it's possible that it amplifies your instincts if you don't have enough self-control" - replied Tsume as she shook her head - "We have to get the pills back!"
"Why did you do that?!" - Mikoto exclaimed angrily.
"Because I was asked by the members of the wolf clan" - replied Tsume as she broke free from the Uchiha woman's grip - "They have a low birth rate because of their eating habits, that's why they asked me to see if I could find some ways to help them have more energy and vitality during full moon nights."
"Oh, that makes sense" - nodded Anko as Mikoto shot her an annoyed look.
"Hey, don't be mad at Tsume, be mad at Kushina who was responsible for giving the pills to Izumi-chan" - said Anko as she rolled her eyes at her - "Anyway, I think we better go get those pills back before Kushina lets her use them."
