He looked at her as if he didn't understand what was happening. When Sakura noticed this, her anger flared up even more, and she turned her gaze between him and Kushina. Then she spun around sharply, her long hair hitting his face like sharp swords, symbolizing her anger. She stormed inside, slamming the door hard. Kushina stared at her in astonishment, then looked at Naruto, who gave her a quick glance before following Sakura. When he entered, he saw Sakura with her back to him, tapping her foot in extreme anger, to the point that he could feel the ground shaking beneath her feet. He calmly said: "So... what's with all this anger?!!!!!!!!"
Sakura, with impatience: "And what do you expect from me... for me to be extremely happy, perhaps?"
He looked at her for a moment and then said: "Alright... what do you want?"
Sakura, very angrily: "I want a complete explanation about what you did last night."
Naruto: "An explanation!?!?!?" Then he said sarcastically: "Weren't you there?"
Sakura, turning to look at him: "Yes... I was there... but I didn't understand anything."
Naruto: "What exactly didn't you understand?"
At that moment, Sakura lost her patience and shouted at him: "Naruto... you tried to kiss me..."
She was about to continue, but suddenly they heard the sound of breaking glass. When Naruto looked toward the door, he saw Kushina standing there, not moving, her eyes staring at him in disbelief, tears gathering in them, and the teacup she had brought him shattered at her feet. She suddenly moved back, on the verge of crying, and started running toward the garden. Naruto quickly moved toward the door, completely forgetting about Sakura, shouting: "Kushina!!!" He then rushed after her. Meanwhile, Sakura stayed in the room, staring at the door in disbelief, thinking to herself: "Does he really care about her sadness this much??!!"
She then threw herself on the couch, grabbed the remote, and turned on the TV, saying: "Well then... let him get what he deserves."
Meanwhile, Naruto was still chasing Kushina, who headed toward the garden, which overlooked a forest. She started running through the forest, and Naruto followed her, saying: "Kushina... please stop... it's not like you to judge me without hearing me out."
She said, trying to hold back her tears: "What could you possibly say other than what I've already heard?"
When he gave up trying to stop her, he disappeared like a flash and appeared in front of her, opening his arms to prevent her from running away. She looked at him fearfully, and he said: "I will tell you everything."
He took her hand and led her to a table in their garden. Then he let go of her hand and said: "Sit down..." She continued to stare at him, unmoving. He then said: "Don't be afraid... just sit down."
Slowly, she moved toward the chair and sat down with sadness. He too sat down on the chair opposite her. Seeing that she wasn't responding to him, he placed her hands on the table and gripped them tightly, then looked at her and said: "If you're asking if I tried to kiss her... yes."
As soon as he finished his answer, the first tear fell from her eye, which she had been holding wide open, staring at him.
He was about to retract when he saw her tear, but he closed his eyes to push that thought away, then opened them again, saying: "But if you're asking if I kissed her... then of course my answer is... no."
Her eyes narrowed, looking at him in disbelief, waiting for him to continue: "Well... this is what happened last night..." He told her everything that happened the night before, not leaving out a single detail. After he was done, he sighed and said: "That's everything."
He then released her hands, and they both looked at each other for a long time...
Suddenly, Kushina laughed loudly, continuing to laugh as if she had a laughing fit. Naruto stared at her in amazement until she finally stopped laughing, still chuckling, and said: "What is this... is that all?... I should have known from the start... so all of this was just because of such a simple reason?"
Naruto, somewhat embarrassed: "... Yes, but... did you really believe I would betray you?"
Kushina smiled and shook her head, then said, looking at him: "I was sure you wouldn't betray me."
Naruto, surprised: "Then why were you upset when you heard Sakura?"
Her smile faded a little, and she said: "You know that I trust you completely... and I never doubted you for a second... and you also know that I know what's in your heart... it's not hard for me to know that girl... she... is your first love..."
At that moment, Naruto's heart shook, and his eyes widened at the strangeness of what he was hearing. Kushina continued: "I feared that you would regain your love for her... and when I heard her, I thought that what I feared had happened... I wasn't sad because I thought you would kiss her... I was sad because I thought I... was going to lose you."
After a moment of silence, Naruto smiled and said: "Don't worry... my princess... you won't lose me... I'm yours and only yours... and I'll never be with any other girl... so don't worry about that... it's been over for me since I met you."
Her cheeks reddened as she looked into his eyes and smiled widely, then said: "I can't believe what I'm hearing from you... I mean, I'm less than just a girl... and you're a man that every woman dreams of... what makes you hold onto me like this... why did you choose me among all those girls?"
Naruto kept looking at her, smiling, until he finally replied: "Because simply... you're the only girl who was able to capture my heart..."
At that, Kushina's eyes sparkled, and her heart beat joyfully at what she heard. He continued: "... Maybe I loved before you... and maybe I never expected to love anyone else... but if I compare my love for you with my love for her in the past... I see that I never loved her at all... and that's what makes you my first love, as you want."
Kushina laughed happily at what he said, and Naruto thought to himself, while looking at her laugh: "How I love this laugh of hers... I feel like I own the earth and the sky and everything in between... oh my God... what has she done to me... Kushina?"
Kushina: "Well Naruto... now that you've told me everything... I see that you hurt her feelings... go and make up with her."
Naruto: "What!!!!!!"
Kushina: "As you heard... no one can blame her for being angry with you now... come on, go and apologize to her."
Naruto, sarcastically: "Impossible... you're dreaming... you want me to apologize to her... that's never going to happen."
He then turned his face away from her, closed his eyes, and rested his head on his hand on the table.
Kushina, coldly and on the verge of anger: "Naruto... don't make me lose my temper... and do what I asked you to."
Naruto, bored and still in his position: "I told you it's not going to happen."
Kushina, angrily: "Then bear what will happen..."
He quickly opened his eyes and interrupted her, saying: "No... fine, I'll go."
Kushina, triumphantly: "That's what I want to hear... now go."
Naruto, bored: "Fine." And he didn't move.
Kushina, firmly: "Now."
He looked at her coldly, then angrily shoved the chair backward as he stood up, saying: "Damn it..." Then he headed toward the door, thinking to himself: "How does she control me like this?"
Suddenly, he heard her call him: "Naruto."
He looked at her coldly: "What do you want?"
She ran toward him and clung to his arm, smiling: "I'll come with you."
