Of the twenty-three pursuers, sixteen were instantly killed, their bodies sprawled on the ground with horrifying burns and injuries. The remaining survivors were gravely wounded, struggling to cling to life with ragged breaths.
Kurisu didn’t give them a chance to recover. “Throw the Explosive Kunai!” she commanded.
A series of explosions shook the area once again, eliminating three more pursuers. Only four remained, but they were teetering on the brink of death. ...

After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Karina lifted her gaze towards her parents.
With a soft yet meaningful tone, Karina said, "Father, Mother... This is a gift for your wedding anniversary."
Karina took a small red box from behind her chair. "I know you both always celebrate your wedding anniversary every year, but you’ve never celebrated your own birthdays."
"Kushina and I realized that, all this time, we’ve never given you a birthday gift. Yet, you always ma...

In fact, the red flush on Karina's face was so striking that anyone who saw her might think she was running a fever.
"Reiji, you fool..." Karina muttered softly, though a small smile that she couldn't hide appeared at the corner of her lips.
As Karina walked, her gaze unintentionally shifted to the four boxes that were now in her hands.
Curiosity overtook her.
Karina stopped under a large tree by the roadside, carefully opening one of the boxes.

This Fuinjutsu allows objects to activate all of their abilities automatically, without relying on the user's Chakra.
This is incredibly useful, as the user no longer has to worry about running out of Chakra in critical situations.
With the addition of this Fuinjutsu, Reiji felt satisfied with the results.
The objects now possess a variety of abilities that can provide protection, convenience, and health benefits for the user.

This time, Reiji decided to give a gift as a belated birthday present.
Although it was a gift, Reiji didn’t feel awkward, even if Karina found out that he was preparing it for her.
“Alright then! I’ll make it for you, but do you have sketches or images for all the items you mentioned?” Zuto asked with a curious tone.
“Wait a moment.” Reiji quickly pulled out a sheet of paper from his bag and began sketching rapidly.

In this world, specifically in the world of Naruto, the concept of marriage involving rings is not a common tradition.
Yes, it is not common for couples in this world to celebrate their marriage with a ring on their ring finger.
In some regions, couples use other symbols, such as necklaces, earrings, or bracelets, to mark their marriage.
For this reason, Keito and Kasumi—Karina’s parents—did not have wedding rings on their fingers.
