Chapter 121 is too much!
Just as Mikoto finished preparing dinner, Sasuke, who was learning ninjutsu from his teacher, slowly stretched and stopped studying.
"Let's go eat."
Izuna gently patted the head of his very satisfied disciple and said softly.
Indeed, Izuna was very satisfied with Sasuke.
Sasuke is far superior to ordinary people in terms of appearance, looks, talent, and determination.
Putting aside Sasuke's godlike looks, which are just like his own, Sasuke's determination and perseverance in training every day, plus his talent of unlocking the three-tomoe gem even before graduating, are remarkable.
He's a genius.
If it were in his own time, Sasuke would definitely have achieved dazzling success on the battlefield.
However, it's not too late now. Once Sasuke grows up, Konoha can directly wage war against the other countries.
That will be the time to make a name for yourself.
In Izuna's eyes, fame could only be gained through fighting on the battlefield.
Just like my older brother's battlefield rose, because his battles are incredibly beautiful, like roses, beautiful yet deadly.
The man who tricked his older brother away, Hashirama Senju, was known as the God of Shinobi, according to Sasuke.
This was also due to his performance on the battlefield.
Therefore, Izuna was very curious about the future of his disciple.
"Okay, teacher, I'll be going now."
Sasuke bid farewell to Izuna and then left the sealed space. His respectful behavior towards Izuna pleased Izuna even more.
"Really, we're already teacher and student, why are you being so polite?"
With a slight smile, Izuna spoke softly.
"Dinner's ready."
Mikoto brought the dishes to the table; they were very plentiful.
There was sturgeon soup, stir-fried eggs with chives, braised pork trotters, poached eggs, roast meat...
Anyway, they're all very nutritious foods.
Just as Fugaku and Sasuke sat down, there was a knock on the gate outside the courtyard.
"Arno, is Sasuke home?"
A distinctive voice, characteristic of blond hair, rang out.
Fugaku was initially confused, but then he saw Sasuke winking at him.
Then his face froze, and his body became hot.
Maru, Naruto's here! If Naruto accidentally asks Sasuke why he didn't go to school all day, all my work will be for nothing.
"Ahem, Sasuke, go open the door and greet your classmate."
Fugaku gave Sasuke a wink, and Sasuke nodded slightly before getting up to open the door.
Naruto, standing outside, scratched his head as he looked at the tightly closed door of Sasuke's house. Had something happened to Sasuke?
With a thud, the door opened.
Sasuke appeared in front of Naruto.
"Shh!"
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's head and whispered in his ear.
"Keep your voice down, what are you doing here?"
"You haven't come to school all day. As your boss, of course I have to come and see what's wrong with you."
Naruto stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Sasuke with an expression of utter certainty on his face.
...
Well, Sasuke had already expected this.
"Okay, but you have to tell my mom I went to school this morning."
Sasuke briefly explained the situation, but omitted the part about being tied up.
"Oh, I see~"
Naruto's expression turned comical.
It's fun, it's fun.
"Hey, remember what I just said!"
"Okay, okay, aren't you going to invite me in for dinner?"
Naruto blinked, his eyes filled with amusement.
...
"You can do it yourself...."
Sasuke spoke up instinctively, but then remembered that Naruto was supposed to cook for himself when he got home.
Fine, I, Sasuke-sama, will reluctantly take in my future underling.
"Come in."
Sasuke brought Naruto in, and then walked up to Mikoto.
"Mom, can Naruto eat with us today?"
Mikoto looked at Naruto, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes, then smiled and nodded.
"Of course, Naruto, your mom and I were best friends back then."
Mikoto went to the kitchen and got another set of bowls and chopsticks, and also filled a large bowl with rice, worried that Naruto wouldn't have enough to eat.
"Um, thank you, Auntie."
Naruto was slightly startled by Mikoto's enthusiasm, but he quickly recovered and started chatting with her at the dining table.
Most of the time was spent by Mikoto telling Naruto about his father and mother's past.
Fugaku and Sasuke began exchanging glances.
(all)
How did things go?
(all)
You can rest assured that I'll handle things.
That's about it. Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.
Yah! My plan to have a third child should be fine now.
He reached out and picked up a lamb kidney, then ate it.
The atmosphere was great tonight, and Naruto only remembered that he was very happy.
Inside the sealed space, Kushina watched Mikoto's kindness towards Naruto, and a rare tear welled up in her eyes.
It's such a pity that I died.
I'm sorry, Mikoto. We promised to go shopping together and take the kids camping together.
Honestly, it's all that masked man's fault.
Kushina angrily slammed her fist on the table, waking Kurama, who was sleeping next to her.
"Who's there? What happened?!"
Kurama leaped onto Kushina's hair and looked around.
"Hey, Kurama, where did you jump to?!"
The Nine-Headed Serpent slowly lowered his head and then saw the scarlet hair.
Forehead...
It's alright, the status of the Nine Lamas is not as low as it used to be.
As tool beasts, they can no longer play Yu-Gi-Oh! (Ninja Edition) without Kurama.
So, the Nine-Tails jumped down gently.
"Ahem, what just happened?"
Nine-Tails used his swaying tail to cover his embarrassment.
"I just remembered the masked man from the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage."
Kushina's tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
Minato came over and gently patted Kushina's back, saying comfortingly.
"Don't worry, Naruto is doing well now, isn't he? When Naruto grows up, we'll go catch that awful masked man."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Minato's eyes.
After all, if it weren't for that masked man, he and Kushina would both be alive and well now, and they wouldn't have to use this chakra body to accompany Naruto.
But there's no rush.
Meanwhile, in the distant Land of Rain, at the Akatsuki's base.
A man wearing a spiral mask strode in with a bouncy gait.
"Hello everyone~, I'm Tobi, the new intern~"
Konan, who was leading him, twitched his eyebrows slightly, but still introduced him to the other members present.
"His name is Tobi. He's currently an intern. He'll be promoted to a full-time position after he completes certain tasks."
Upon hearing Konan's words, neither Sasori nor Kakuzu had any objections, while Orochimaru looked at Tobi with great interest, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Hey, is he strong enough?"
Hidan, displeased, hoisted his scythe and looked at Tobi, who was wearing a mask.
"If he dies, can I turn him into my puppet?"
Sasori, surrounded by Hiruko, let out a hoarse voice. He didn't care about the addition of newcomers; all he cared about was his own art.
That's enough.
Pain's voice rang out, and the other members fell silent.
"He first formed his own team, and his performance was used to determine whether he could become a full member."
Pain drew a conclusion immediately.
"Wow~ the leader is so imposing~ I'm almost scared of him~"
Tobi twisted his body and said.
"Deidara, you can take care of this guy for now."
Pain ignored Tobi's antics and spoke to Deidara.
Deidara nodded.
It's troublesome, but it's not impossible.
Perhaps it can also be used to experiment with one's own new art.
