Chapter 21 : Hot Springs

Konoha's Hot Springs
Konoha's hot springs were the most famous in the entire Land of Fire.
After an intense battle, there was nothing better than soaking in the warmth of the springs, feeling the fatigue melt away. The level of comfort was indescribable.
Both body and mind were rejuvenated, as if stepping into paradise itself.
For a shinobi, there was no greater luxury than taking a dip after rigorous training.
Among the many hot springs in Konoha, the Hachidō Onsen was the most renowned. It was a high-class establishment, attracting visitors from all over, including some of the most well-known kunoichi in the village.
Tonight, the hot spring was graced by none other than Tsunade, Kushina Uzumaki, Mikoto Uchiha, and Hikari Hyūga.
Technically speaking, there was another presence—Kurama, the Nine-Tails, sealed within Kushina. However, since he experienced everything alongside her, it could be said that he was enjoying this bath for free.
Or, as he might put it, unwillingly participating in an experience he never asked for.
