Tsunade was practicing Sage Mode when she suddenly noticed the surrounding peach blossoms seemed to be paused.
"What's going on?"
She abruptly stopped her training, her eyes filled with surprise.
A transparent energy barrier instantly enveloped the three, as if they had entered two different worlds.
Shun's Six Tomoe Rinnegan lit up as he said, "I used Divine Acceleration to adjust the time flow here to 24 times faster. This means that if we stay here for 1 day, only 1 hour will pass in the Ninja World. If we stay for 11 days, only 11 hours will pass in the Ninja World. This way, you will have ample time to practice Sage Mode and still make it back to have dinner with the children."
Yukari covered her mouth in surprise. "24 times? So if we train here for more than twelve days, only half a day will pass in the Ninja World? That's amazing."
Shun gently stroked the barrier with his palm, sensing the changes within. "With just my own ocular power, I can only sustain this acceleration for one or two minutes at most, and the range is small. But with Hiroto mobilizing the entire planet's energy as a backup, it can not only sustain for 11 days but also precisely control the accelerated area without affecting the ecology of other parts of the planet."
Hiroto's gentle voice echoed in the three's consciousness. "It is my honor to serve master and his queens. The energy reserves are sufficient, and if you need to extend the acceleration time, you can tell me at any time."
Only then did Tsunade sigh in relief and reactivate Sage Mode. She was delighted to find that although the external time flow had slowed down, the natural energy within her body remained stable, and due to the acceleration effect, her training efficiency had even doubled.
She said excitedly, "This is great. This way, I can train without missing the children's dinner."
Over the next 11 days (only 11 hours in the Ninja World), the three were completely immersed in training.
Even more miraculously, the pure natural energy on the planet would automatically convert into the nutrients needed by their bodies, so the three did not need to eat, yet their spirits remained full.
However, besides training, Tsunade and Yukari both clearly felt changes in their bodies.
Tsunade found her skin becoming firmer, fine lines around her eyes quietly fading, and even the fatigue accumulated over years of training had vanished without a trace.
Yukari, on the other hand, felt her skin was more radiant, and her body was so light it seemed she could float with the wind.
One afternoon, Tsunade reached a roadblock in her training and, upon stopping, gently rubbed her shoulders, a hint of weariness in her brows.
Yukari put down her training and walked to her side, softly saying, "Tsunade-nee, let's rest for a while. I feel a bit tense."
Seeing this, Shun took out a wide, soft bed from his storage scroll, covered with a snow-white fox fur, its edges embroidered with delicate flying bird patterns.
"You two rest for a bit."
Tsunade and Yukari laid down side by side, the soft fox fur wrapping around their bodies, warm and comfortable. The two exchanged glances, both seeing surprise and shyness in each other's eyes.
The changes in their bodies these days were too obvious. The natural energy not only nourished their strength but also seemed to be quietly reshaping their physiques.
It brought back the vitality of their youth, and even the emotions in their hearts grew particularly intense.
Yukari was the first to sit up, with a hint of tentativeness and expectation.
She gently tugged on Shun's sleeve, her voice soft and sweet. "Husband, will you come and spend some time with us?"
Shun sat down by the bed. Tsunade suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her hair brushed his cheek, carrying a faint scent of milk. She looked up and kissed Shun's lips, her movements gentle yet with a hint of urgency.
Yukari also didn't hesitate, approaching from the other side, her soft lips landing on Shun's cheek, her fingertips gently stroking his chest.
"Husband, we feel... like we've returned to when we first met."
Tsunade pulled away from Shun's lips, her breath slightly ragged, her eyes full of affection. "The energy of this planet seems to have made us closer."
Yukari softly agreed, her cheeks flushed, "Mm... I want to be even closer to husband."
Shun's heart warmed, and he reached out to embrace the two of them.
The peach tree beside the soft bed, as if sensing this tenderness, let its petals fall even more gently, enveloping the three in a pink floral rain, adding to the romantic atmosphere.
Shun lowered his head to kiss Tsunade's forehead, then gently rubbed Yukari's cheek. "Okay, whatever you two wish."
In this undisturbed peach forest, the three shared only the purest intimate moments.
After an unknown amount of time, the three lay embracing on the soft bed.
Tsunade spoke softly, with a hint of languor and charm, "Husband, if only we could come here often in the future."
Yukari nodded, her eyes full of longing. "Yes, not only can we train here, but also..."
She stopped mid-sentence, her cheeks redder, not continuing, but gently pressed closer to Shun's chest.
Shun smiled and ruffled their hair. "We will. Once the Ninja World is unified, we'll bring everyone here. We can even live here permanently."
A few more days passed.
Tsunade and Yukari both felt a faint flutter in their lower abdomens simultaneously. The two exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
As a medical ninja, Tsunade immediately understood what this meant and reached for her lower abdomen.
"We... are both pregnant."
Shun's gaze fell on their lower abdomens, and his Divine Eye allowed him to clearly see the two vibrant life forces, like two tender sprouts breaking through the soil.
A surge of joy welled up in his heart, and then he heard Hiroto's voice.
"Master, I apologize. I saw the queens' aura intertwining with yours, nourished by natural energy, so I quietly guided the conception of life without telling you beforehand. I just wished for new life on the planet."
Shun gave a helpless smile, with a hint of both reproach and relief. "I know you mean well, but you must tell me about such things beforehand. They are my wives, and I don't want them to experience changes without knowing. Next time you do something that affects them, you must discuss it with me first."
Hiroto's voice immediately became respectful. "Yes! I remember. I will continue to nourish the little lives with natural energy to ensure their healthy growth."
Tsunade and Yukari, hearing the conversation, both blushed with happiness.
Tsunade gently stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness. "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. This planet has truly given us too many surprises."
Yukari nodded, tears sparkling in her burgundy eyes. "When the children are born, we must bring them here. Let them know that their lives began here."
Shun held their hands, golden light shimmering at his fingertips. "Alright, we need to return to the Ninja World."
He deactivated Divine Acceleration. The energy barrier, and the surrounding environment instantly returned to normal.
