Controlling and multitasking different bodies is easier said than done. Updated from
*Pah*
A slap suddenly struck Kushina in the dead of the night, causing her to yelp loudly as Mikoto and Nono woke up, too, to the sight of the redhead strangling the youth she'd been lying on top of.
"Why'd you hit me, dattebane?!" Kushina scowls and snarls as her loud tone is sure to wake their neighbors slightly before dawn.
"Hah, it wasn't on purpose," Kai gasps after prying Kushina's hand away from his throat, and Mikoto questions with a groan, "Can't you NOT train while sleeping?"
"Train?" Kushina frowns.
"It's obvious, no?" Nono drawls lazily and lies back on the mattress before pulling the blanket on herself, "His Wood Clones must be still training and he's trying to multitask... while sleeping. Or, at least, he wanted a part of his mind to rest simultaneously with other parts of his mind training."
"First, training while sleeping is great," Kai looks at Mikoto who simply rolls her eyes and returns to her slumber. Mikoto simply knew not to question his love for the grind at this point and as long as it did not negatively impact their lives, Mikoto felt no reason to stop her fiance from training. After all, he doesn't even use his strength to act like a stuck-up cunt but to protect them whenever possible.
"And secondly," Kai looks at Kushina, "Sorry, I really didn't mean to wake you up."
"Well, now I'm up!" She pouts with her left cheek stinging slightly and Kai had the urge to kick. Well, obviously, this urge came from the two clones sparring with each other. In reality, making the wood clones spar with each other is like playing chess with yourself, but unimaginably more physically intense. Both the clones know each other's moves so, really, it's more of a fist fest.
"And... what do you want me to do?" Kai inquires curiously.
"Ugh, stop talking or leave... I just returned four hours ago from the mission and am too tired..." Mikoto mumbles quietly while snuggling against the slightly colder side of her pillow, causing Kai to chuckle, "Sleep well." He pecks the top of her head only to hear Nono clearing her throat slightly.
Of course, Nono is no mere friend. She's a bro, so she always deserves better treatment, and thus, Kai pecks her slightly close to the nape of her neck before picking Kushina in his arms and walking out of the bed.
As they arrive in the kitchen, Kai sets Kushina down who still kept silent.
"What do you want to eat?" Kai questions when his left hand suddenly punches the air and he scowls for a moment. Deadpanning at his grind antics, Kushina muses for a moment and remarks, "Ramen"
"I'm not cooking Ramen at four o'clock in the morning," Kai scoffs and takes out milk from the refrigerator.
"Uuh... then pork cutlets"
"You're going to drink milk just like me," Kai decides for her sensibly and the redhead smirks. Of course, she's learned to screw with him over the years.
As he warms up the milk slightly since an entirely hot cup of milk never did suit his taste, Kushina questions while sitting on the counter beside him and stretching her arms, "Is it really that hard to control multiple bodies?"
"It's only been three days but I'm getting a hang of it. The truth is that even if I do learn to control five clones at once, I'm going to increase the number to 6, and then 7, and then 8, and then"
"Got it," Kushina huffs, "But there's got to be a limit, right?"
"My initial goal is to control 20 clones, at least," Kai reveals and then begins to pour the milk from the saucepan into two cups.
Next, Kai simply added a spoonful of sugar to the milk and stirred it. The drink, truly, is warm and bland but with Kai focusing on more battle skills and pushing away his cooking skills, his art of handling meat and a variety of different products is amateurish at best. After all, he can only have five skills at once and now Mokuton took priority just because.
"Ugh," Kushina sticks her tongue out in disgust after downing the cup of milk, and Kai's expression isn't any better, "I need something spicy to make up for the taste now!" He claims and Kushina's eyes instantly glimmer, "Ramen!"
"Hmm... maybe," Kai acknowledges the possibility of it and then frowns, "We're out of shrimp paste..."
Kushina frowns, too.
Kushina, Yahiko, and Nagato are slurping their ramen without any care. Kai is jumping around and fighting... an imaginary enemy? And
Konan suddenly feels Tsunade's entire weight on herself and standing becomes a struggle itself!
"There you go," with a warm chuckle, a pair of strong arms pull the drunkard away and lay her down on the floor as the blonde moans, "Just give me more~!" But even the famed Slug Princess is out of commission and snores happily once her back touches the ground.
Adopting a stern tone, 'Kai' looks at Konan and berates the girl, "You need all the rest you can get. Why are you even awake this early?"
Konan first lowers her head but then frowns for a moment and looks back up, "How is this my fault?"
Kai in front of her suddenly disperses into a plume of smoke as the original finally sighs in relief.
"I can't believe even I would lose control in such a manner..." He mutters and looks at the chaos he had caused unwittingly.
"What's going on?" Konan frown once more and speaks in a slightly louder tone as Yahiko shrugs, "Geez, Boss and Kushina-san tried to steal beef steaks from Tsunade-sama. She woke up. Boss used alcohol to distract her. A viable tactic, as expected of him. And then Nagato cooked us Ramen since the rest of us cannot cook as well as him."
"Yep!" Kushina gushes and compliments her distant relative, "You're a good chef, dattebane!"
Blushing, Nagato lowers his head and nods, "Thank you... I just have to cook for myself sometimes in my office so ramen became my choice of snack."
Konan looks back at Tsunade already curled up in a fetal position and then at the table. She doesn't even want to question why her former boss, and current Sensei, acted like a lunatic briefly and sat on a chair next to Kushina, "I'd like a bowl, too."
"Sure," Nagato smiles.
"Sensei, aren't you going to eat anything?" Konan looks at Kai who's already picked Tsunade up as he nods, "I will. Just let me tuck my sloppy Sensei back into her bed."
"Hmph, liar... you're the one who offered wine to her," Kushina scoffs.
"How else would she have shown us the good stuff?" Kai smirks. Tsunade is a fan of Somarasa but after knowing how tedious it is to make it, she enjoyed being a consumer more than being a creator so the task of fulfilling her depraved desires fell on Kai.

A/N: I've noticed a need for a time skip now. Nothing too crazy, maybe a month or two to reset the pace since the team isn't strong enough to do anything of value and the underlying plot will need time to cook completely. I do have a smut planned for the next chap and then we get on with the time skip and a list of completed grind skills. Most of the sage variants will be completed this time.
