Minato Namikaze was observing the oddly-shaped massage chair curiously. He asked, "If it's a meridian-targeting ninjutsu technique, wouldn't it work better with a real person?"
"Why did you even make it into the shape of a chair?"
Satori Hyūga paused from adjusting the machine and looked at Minato as he replied, "My invented pressure-point massage jutsu actually requires direct physical contact—it's quite an intimate technique."
"I could use it on you, Minato," Satori continued, then added, "But would Kushina let me touch her?"
As he said this, Satori glanced toward Kushina, who was still very young and undeveloped, a hint of regret in his eyes.
Men and women should not engage in casual physical contact.
And besides, she was still too young.
Feeling Satori's gaze, Kushina flushed with anger, a vein popping on her forehead as she silently clenched her fists.
"What perverted thoughts are running through your head?!"
Seeing Kushina's furious expression, Satori immediately waved his hands in protest. "I'm not thinking anything weird! You're just not my type anyway. But Minato probably likes you—after all, you've got the red hair that he likes."
Satori decided to divert suspicion elsewhere.
Actually, he wasn't entirely wrong. In the original story, Minato himself had admitted to liking Kushina's red hair. The two later fell deeply in love and eventually married.
"You! Now you're making up stories about Minato. How could he possibly like red hair?" Kushina angrily glared at Satori, then turned to look at Minato.
Yet Minato's shocked expression instantly revealed his true feelings.
"How'd you know what I was thinking?" Minato blurted out.
The moment those words left his mouth, Kushina stared at Minato in shock, her pale face quickly flushing red.
"You… you like me?"
"No, wait—do you mean you like my red hair?"
Minato looked at Kushina awkwardly, smiling faintly without denying it, nodding instead.
"Yes. Red hair looks really beautiful. It shines brightly, like burning flames."
His words made Kushina blush completely red. She seemed to steam up, almost emitting visible vapor from the top of her head.
Inside the sealing space,
Kurama groaned in frustration, "Calm down already! He likes your hair, not you directly!"
Trapped within Kushina's body, Kurama could sense every fluctuation in her emotions.
Her extreme excitement made Kurama feel uncomfortable too.
After Kurama spoke, Kushina's excitement finally cooled slightly.
No one had ever told her her hair was beautiful before—it felt like a confession, making her heart race uncontrollably.
"You stupid fox, what do you know!" Kushina softly huffed.
Outside, Kushina turned away with a proud pout and murmured, "Your taste isn't bad."
Her youthful shyness made it impossible for her to face her training partner just yet.
Minato gave a slightly helpless look as he glanced at Satori and asked, "How'd you figure out I like… red hair?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Satori's face.
"That's simple—observation."
"Every time you look at Kushina, there's always a faint glimmer of red reflected in your eyes."
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Why don't you try my newly made Ultimate Massage Chair?"
Satori Hyūga broke the awkward silence, shifting everyone's attention to the massage chair.
"I used materials bought with money borrowed from Orochimaru-sensei."
"Making the chair itself was easy enough, but integrating it with ninjutsu techniques was no small feat."
In truth, Satori had combined memories of massage parlors and automated massage chairs from his previous life with the Hyūga clan's meridian-targeting strikes, evolving them into the Ultimate Massage Chair.
Mounted on the chair was a unique meridian-targeting massage technique personally developed by Satori.
He looked between the two of them and asked curiously,
"Which one of you wants to go first? Let me show you the wonders of my amazing invention."
Minato Namikaze stepped forward and rubbed his nose slightly as he said, "I'll go first."
Kushina pretended to be too shy to reply and turned her head away, feigning irritation.
"Alright then, just lie down. I need to adjust some settings first."
After all, this was the very first prototype of the Ultimate Massage Chair—still crude and riddled with flaws.
Overall, it was basically a scanning device combined with several mechanical fingers designed to stimulate various pressure points across the human body.
But putting it into practice wasn't simple.
This initial version of the scanner required manual calibration after scanning the user.
After all, people differ in height, weight, and body shape.
The positions of their pressure points and meridians also varied depending on the individual.
Minato obediently lay down on the chair, and as Satori activated the system, the machine came to life.
The massage chair hummed softly. The chair's frame closed gently around him while Satori adjusted the direction of the mechanical fingers.
"Minato, we're starting now."
Once everything was properly set up, Satori slowly pressed the activation button.
Under Satori's control, the Ultimate Massage Chair sprang into action—the mechanical fingers moved in perfect rhythm.
Kneading, pressing, pinching, rolling—each motion precisely timed.
One after another, the mechanical digits followed a specific sequence and procedure to begin massaging Minato's body.
It looked like an ordinary automatic massage chair from his previous life, but in reality, it incorporated Satori's advanced understanding of acupressure points.
Moreover, when the mechanical fingers touched the body, they emitted a gentle heat, stimulating the tissues around each pressure point.
The chair slowly rotated while the mechanical fingers continued working on different parts of Minato's body.
This uniquely pleasurable sensation caused even the normally calm and mild-mannered Minato to emit soft sighs of pleasure.
"So good… This feels amazing," Minato murmured with closed eyes, clearly enjoying himself.
Lost in the stimulation of the mechanical massage, his muscles felt as if immersed in warm hot spring water, sending waves of comfort through his body.
Each time a pressure point was stimulated or meridian activated, it felt like being washed over by soothing warm currents, cleansing both mind and body.
Seeing Minato's face light up with pure bliss out of the corner of her eye, Kushina couldn't help feeling curious herself.
She completely forgot the earlier embarrassment.
"Minato, does it really feel that good?" Kushina asked curiously.
Minato's expression was just too blissful—she wanted to give it a try too.
She knew well the Hyūga Clan's meridian-targeting techniques, but never imagined they could be applied to physical relaxation like this.
Isn't this basically the same as Medical Ninjutsu now?
After a moment, the massage ended.
Minato Namikaze slowly rose to his feet, lost in the lingering feeling.
"Kushina, you should try it too—it actually works. I feel so much better—my whole body feels lighter and refreshed. Even the aches from my earlier Taijutsu training are gone."
Closing his eyes, Minato rocked back and forth slightly, soaking in the post-massage feeling.
"Really? Let me try it then!"
Kushina immediately lay down, leaving Satori Hyūga to go through the setup all over again.
Everyone required individual adjustments—which was a bit of a hassle.
Satori was already thinking about how to improve the Ultimate Massage Chair. He had just succeeded in developing this pressure point massage technique, but there was still room for improvement.
"Whoa, that feels weird—your fingers are just moving around and pressing everywhere…"
"Mmnh, but it's so nice! It feels just like a long soak in a hot spring!"
