In the cold laboratory, Kushina was huddled in the corner of the iron cage.
There were no windows, no clocks, and there was Bai Jue who would come to deliver meals on time, giving her some sense of time.
There were a lot of questions in her mind at the moment, how long she would be locked up here, what exactly Orochimaru wanted to do to her, had anything happened outside, how was Minato doing now...
Now she just hoped that Minato would find out that she was missing quickly and come to save her.
This idea had been in her mind for a long time, but every time the door opened, only that white-skinned weirdo walked in.
The door opened again.
Perhaps because she had been disappointed too many times, Kushina did not look towards the door immediately until a voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"What a poor canary."
Kushina was startled, then suddenly raised her head and found that she was really standing there outside the iron cage.
Zhen looked at Kushina and said with a smile: "The iron cage is like a birdcage. Hokage-sama thinks this is a bad idea."
"Really...really!"
Kushina quickly walked to the iron cage and looked at him expectantly.
"Why are you here?"
"Looking for something." Zhen said.
"I stopped by to see you."
Kushina quickly asked again: "Where is Minato? How is Minato?"
"Minato..." Makoto's tone deliberately paused, making Kushina's heart suddenly twitch.
"What's wrong with him? Tell me quickly!"
Zhen smiled again and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for several days."
Kushina was extremely anxious and worried, but she couldn't leave this iron cage.
"Where's Hokage-sama?" she asked again.
"out."
Hope instantly ignited in Kushina's heart: "Zhen, please help me and let me out!"
Zhen said: "This is you who is being imprisoned by the Hokage. How dare I let you go at will?"
Kushina was immediately anxious. This was the first person she saw after arriving here besides Bai Zetsu.
"Really, please, let me out quickly!"
She was very worried about Minato now because Bai Zetsu once said that Orochimaru planned to kill Minato.
Compared to her impatience, Shin walked around the birdcage leisurely, admiring Kushina trapped inside.
Suddenly I thought of the heroine in another anime from the original world, who was also trapped in a birdcage and served as the villain's concubine. The villain also forcibly molested the heroine in front of the male protagonist.
Although I was very disgusted when I saw it, if I put myself in the role of the villain, it would be exciting to think about it.
With this thought in mind, I couldn't help but reach out and touch Kushina's hand that was holding on to the iron railing.
Frightened, Kushina quickly withdrew her hand and took two steps back in the birdcage, wary and embarrassed. She couldn't help but avoid looking at Zhen's eyes.
She was wearing a pale-colored dress and her long, bright red hair was shawled. She now showed an even more delicate beauty in this birdcage.
It's like an extremely delicate flower that I can't help but want to pluck and ravage.
Zhen's eyes kept looking at her body, standing outside the birdcage: "What's wrong, have you forgotten the attitude you should have when asking for help?"
Kushina lowered her head and remained silent, some bad memories came to her mind again.
Zhen suddenly said: "The village is in chaos now. The Fourth Raikage has escaped from prison. The Hokage is now protecting the village."
The Fourth Raikage?
Kushina was shocked when she heard the sound.
"I remember that the seal on the Fourth Raikage was imposed by Minato-senpai himself."
"...No, no, it's impossible, Minato wouldn't do such a thing!" Kushina murmured to herself.
Shinori said: "Sometimes, people always do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The position of Hokage has become his inner demon."
Kushina glared at him: "Minato is not who you said! No one loves Konoha more than him, and he will never put his beloved village in danger!"
Zhenmi smiled and did not deny it, but said: "What if it's because of you?"
Kushina took a breath: "What do you mean..."
I heard Zhen say: "The multiple-choice question that Senior Minato is facing now is not the village and the position of Hokage, but the village and you."
Kushina was stunned on the spot. She suddenly wanted to understand many things, why she was locked up here now, and Minato's unspoken reasons at the time...
So Minato and Orochimaru are indeed on opposite sides now.
Watergate……
Kushina suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhen and said: "Zhen, you promised to help me!"
Zhen waved his hand and said: "I promised, but I have already done everything I should do. It's just that the result is that Senior Minato is not satisfied. He wants more."
Kushina became more and more anxious, her mind was racing with thoughts, and she was really quietly admiring her sad look with her frowning eyebrows.
"Really..." She came to the iron fence again and faced Zhen, pleading with meaning in her eyes.
"Please, please let me out."
She has no choice. Now she is locked up here and knows nothing about the outside world. She can do nothing but think wildly.
She wanted to see Minato and help him, at least she had to stand by his side now.
Zhen said calmly: "Do you know how much risk I have to take if I let you go?"
He is like this again...
Kushina lowered her head, but her eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow.
"Really, aren't we friends? You also know that Minato and I... are lovers. Why do you treat me like this?"
Zhen put his hand into the birdcage and gently caressed Kushina's face.
She didn't dodge, but instantly tensed up her body. He really pinched her chin and forced her to look at him, so that he could clearly see the panic, fear, disgust, and self-blame in her eyes.
"Of course I know that you and Minato are lovers. Because of this, you have a special attraction to me."
"Kushina, didn't we have a lot of fun that time before?"
The real voice was like a demonic barrier, causing panic to gradually overflow throughout Kushina's body.
His hand caressed Kushina's face lovingly. Kushina did not dare to dodge and silently endured his violation.
The temperature in the research institute is very low, and Kushina feels an unprecedented coldness, as if it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Kushina suddenly stretched out her hand and held Zhen's palm. His palm was very hot and warm, unlike her skin which had become cold.
There was no wave in her eyes, she just held her real hand tightly, moved it all the way down from her face, passed over her neck, collarbone, and placed it on her chest.
"...Really, can you let me out?"
The next moment, the originally indestructible iron bars of the birdcage suddenly bent left and right for no reason. She didn't actually touch them, and a big gap appeared in front of her eyes.
Suddenly he pulled her into his arms.
"It's so cold on you." Zhen said in a low voice.
"..."
Kushina avoided his eyes and was held in his arms, silent.
