After returning home, Naruto did another hour of taijutsu training, trying to exhaust himself, but to no avail. He was no longer the three-year-old who would be exhausted after a few dozen push-ups.
Naruto was considering adding weights to himself. Going straight to Rock Lee's standards might kill him, so he would start with ten or so pounds to adapt slowly. He could ask Kimimaro about this. He trained desperately with his three blockhead teammates every day and should know about this.
At dinner time, the family of four sat around the table, and Kakashi also arrived on time. Naruto kept staring at Kakashi's ninja tool bag, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare take out any strange books in Naruto's house. He just touched his ninja tool bag from time to time, like a low-headed person who hadn't played with his mobile phone for an hour. Only by feeling the existence of spiritual food could he relieve his anxiety.
Kushina talked about interesting things in her class, such as Kiba and Akamaru rushing up recklessly during the test, and she punched them both to the ground. Or how Shino's bugs were so disgusting that she couldn't help but punch him in the face, breaking his sunglasses. Or how Hinata, that little girl, clearly had good taijutsu skills, but wasn't decisive enough when attacking, and would need to be taught well in the future. How could her disciple, Kushina, be so timid...
Naruto asked if Akamaru was injured and curiously asked if Shino's eyes were actually beady eyes. He had never seen Shino take off his sunglasses. Then he worried a little about whether Hinata would grow up wrong, like turning into the delinquent girl boss in the Road to Ninja movie...
Minato also didn't forget to ask Kakashi about Naruto's performance today. Kakashi praised Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura a lot. Naruto took the opportunity to complain that Kakashi used the Sharingan against three children, and that Kakashi smashed him and Sasuke hard on the ground at the end, and Sasuke was almost crying from the pain...
Kakashi felt a chill down his spine from Kushina's sharp gaze.
[Sasuke, who was showing off his Sharingan at home, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to listen to his brother's praise with satisfaction.]
Joyful laughter rang out from time to time at the dinner table, and Kimimaro, who had been listening with a smile, seemed to eat more quickly. Kimimaro felt that he really liked his current father, mother, younger brother, and Kakashi, who was like an older brother.
Dinner ended after Minato and Kushina once again told Kimimaro not to cultivate too desperately, and everyone dispersed.
...
At night, Naruto still went to meet with the fox spirit.
"Big fox, wasn't the scene of me firing ten Water Dragon Bullets simultaneously today domineering?"
"Tch, just a few small splashes of water. The third one is stronger than you even if he sneezes."
"It shouldn't be that much worse, right? I feel like that scale is enough for Shukaku to drink a pot of it."
"You want to hit Shukaku?"
"Don't you have a grudge against him?"
"Ambitious!" If you want to hit Shukaku, then I won't be sleepy. The Nine Tails rarely stood up and said to Naruto:
"Practice your Water Release more, and you'll be about the level of that woman. Then use my Chakra to hit him, and we'll give Shukaku a good shower!"
The Nine Tails almost laughed out loud when he thought of Shukaku being deflated: "Yes, and that lock-breaking chain move of yours, give Shukaku a set of that too, and then..."
The Nine Tails lay back down again as he spoke, and the big tail that had been swaying happily was also put back on the ground, and his expression suddenly became sad.
Naruto felt that he might have remembered some unbearable past after mentioning the Adamantine Sealing Chains, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Fortunately, this fox had a good psychological quality. He clenched his big paw into a fist and hammered the ground, shouting, "Let's do it this way, brat, get stronger quickly, and then beat up all eight of them, and tie them all up with that broken chain."
There are nine tailed beasts in the world, and I can't be the only one... one fox suffering. You guys are all waiting to feel the pain!
Which nerve of this fox was wrong? I don't know, and I don't dare to ask. Naruto felt that he shouldn't have started by saying he wanted to hit Shukaku, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly aroused the fox's fighting spirit. It would be better to tell him about the harmonious coexistence of humans and tailed beasts to save the situation.
Naruto thought for a while and said, "Starting today, I'm going to tell a story about Celestial Warriors, the story starts with the ancient goddess Nuwa..."
When the Nine Tails heard that Naruto was going to tell a new story, he obediently quieted down.
"The goddess Nuwa created various Celestial Beast, hoping that they would use their abilities to help the world and live in harmony with humans, but the ambitious Primal Heavenly Demon wanted to use the Celestial Beast to rule the world, and our protagonist NanGong WenTian embarked on a journey to defeat the Primal Heavenly Demon with his good partner Tian Jing Beast..."
The more the Nine Tails listened, the more familiar it felt. The purpose of this goddess Nuwa creating Celestial Beast seemed to be the same as the Old Man Six Paths creating tailed beasts...
Is this kid just making up a story to trick me? But the details sound so real. Speaking of which, he mentioned this Goddess Nuwa when he told the story of Nezha last time.
The ideological and moral education of the Nine Tails has a long way to go.
...
Early the next morning, the three little ones of Team 7 gathered on time at the mission hall entrance. Kakashi was only half an hour late this time.
The first mission Team 7 received was not the popular cat-catching mission, but a D-level emergency mission to take care of children at an orphanage.
Naruto was very curious: "Doesn't the orphanage have enough staff? They should hire long-term workers. It's not cost-effective to hire ninjas, right?"
Kakashi seemed to know the orphanage well, and explained as he walked: "The village usually subsidizes this kind of mission. Lord Minato has provided a lot of help to the orphanage in recent years.
Moreover, the orphanage originally didn't need manpower, as there were four teachers including the director and her adopted son.
But one of the teachers suddenly fell ill, and the director and her adopted son had agreed to go to Konoha Hospital yesterday to help with surgery, so they are temporarily short of staff."
Naruto felt that something was wrong.
Sakura raised her hand to ask: "Why is the orphanage director taking her adopted son to the hospital to help others with surgery? Are there not enough doctors in the hospital?"
"No, the hospital has enough doctors. They asked the two of them for help because the patient's surgery is very complicated, and their medical ninjutsu is far beyond that of the hospital's doctors, so they specially invited them to help."
Naruto felt even more strange. Their medical ninjutsu skills are much higher than those of Konoha doctors? Where did these two people come from? Did Tsunade secretly adopt a child and then run to the orphanage to be the director?
If he couldn't figure it out, he asked: "Who are these two people?"
Kakashi thought for a moment and replied: "It seems they are called Yakushi Nono and Yakushi Kabuto."
Naruto, hearing the familiar name, said: "Huh?"
Kakashi continued: "Yakushi Nono seems to have made many contributions as an Anbu member, but after a certain mission, she found Lord Minato and said that she was tired of the previous mission life and wanted to return to Konoha to run an orphanage.
Lord Minato decided to respect her wishes, and then she focused on running the orphanage. When she lacked funds, she would go to Konoha Hospital to help and earn some money. Now that she has funding from the village, she still often goes to the hospital to help."
