Father, Please Accept Your Son's Bow

And so, after the battle ended, all the little brats in the class went home to their families and mothers.

Makoto Ito separately escorted Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka home, openly showing off his affection before the big shots in the group. He held one in each hand, completely disregarding the fact that plenty of the big shots in the group were single...

Hiruzen Sarutobi: Brat! You've already gone after the little girl from the Yamanaka Clan. Can you stay away from my niece?

Makoto Ito: What do you mean, gone after? I was just worried they might run into danger on their way home from school. It was merely concern for my classmates!

Madara Uchiha: Then why don't you show some concern for the other girls in your class? Why only those two?

Makoto Ito: Of course, it's because they're beauti—cough, cough... Of course, it's because I'm only one person, so I can only do so much!

Madara Uchiha: What a joke! I think you just find the others unattractive!

Makoto Ito: Madara! Sometimes telling the truth can easily offend people!

Madara Uchiha: Tch!

Mikoto Uchiha: Scumbag!

Kushina Uzumaki: Hehe, scumbag!

Makoto Ito: What kind of nonsense is that? Watch it, or I'll sue you for slander! Besides, what's wrong with being a scumbag? Have I scummed either of you? Even if I am a scumbag, what does it have to do with you? You two old ladies should stop talking, okay? Otherwise, maybe I'll scum you two too?

Fugaku Uchiha: ????????

Minato Namikaze: ????????

Mikoto Uchiha: Pah, shameless bastard!

Kushina Uzumaki: Hehe!

Hizashi Hyuga: You little bastard, womanizing playboy, deadbeat scumbag! Don't provoke my niece again in the future!

Makoto Ito: Uncle, how could you say that about me?

Hizashi Hyuga: Shut up! I'm not your uncle, so don't call me Uncle!

Makoto Ito: Okay, Uncle. Got it, Uncle!

Minato Namikaze: Enough, enough, Hizashi. This is a matter for young people. We dead folks shouldn't interfere too much.

Hizashi Hyuga: It's not that I want to interfere, Lord Fourth! This kid has gone too far! He's openly admitted that he's a scumbag! Earlier, he even promised the First Hokage and the Second Hokage that he would revive the Senju Clan, and said he wanted to marry the First's granddaughter, Tsunade!

I didn't have the heart to say anything at the time, but isn't their age gap far too huge? And now? Now he's gone and messed with the little girl from the Yamanaka Clan, while being all tangled up with my niece! I'm furious!

Hashirama Senju: Yeah! I only just thought of that myself! Kid Ito, the age difference between you and Tsunade is way too big, isn't it?!

Makoto Ito: Age isn't the issue! What matters is love! Love, understand? Besides, maybe it's because you died too early, First Hokage, so you don't know!

Hashirama Senju: What don't I know?

Minato Namikaze: Well, actually, Lady Tsunade cultivated a secret technique that lets her keep her body in a youthful state. She still looks very young now!

Hashirama Senju: So that's how it is...

Makoto Ito: So don't worry, Grandpa First! Reviving the Senju Clan is my duty! Oh, right, and Grandpa Second! Since I'm already calling you both Grandpa, shouldn't you give me something nice?

Tobirama Senju: You brat, honestly! You never forget to ask us for benefits, do you? Besides, nothing has even been decided between you and Tsunade yet. Don't be in such a hurry to call us Grandpa!

Makoto Ito: Okay, Grandpas. I understand, Grandpas!

Hashirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: ...

Tobirama Senju: Honestly, why is it that when I think of how unruly you were before, then hear you call me Grandpa, I feel so refreshed?

Makoto Ito: Since you're feeling so refreshed, how about giving me two ninjutsu? I'll call you that a few more times and make you even happier!

Group member Tobirama Senju gifted the Group Leader Makoto Ito the ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Makoto Ito: ????????? Good lord, you actually gave it to me?

Makoto Ito was genuinely stunned when he saw that message! Since when had the Second Hokage become so easy to talk to?

He had only said it casually just now. He never expected the Second Hokage to actually give him something!

Had he really started treating him as a future grandson-in-law?

Madara Uchiha: ???? Good lord! You called him Grandpa twice, and he actually gave you something?

Tobirama Senju: I'm happy, got a problem with that? I've got plenty of ninjutsu, and forbidden techniques by the handful! I'll give them if I want to! What's it to you?

Makoto Ito: Honestly, I'm a little confused too! Second Hokage, do you need me to do something for you?

Tobirama Senju: No! Didn't I promise you before? If you gave that little Uchiha brat a good beating, I'd give you something nice! Since you've already beaten him up, I can't exactly go back on my word, can I?

Fugaku Uchiha: ...So this ninjutsu was given because my son got beaten up?

Makoto Ito was overjoyed inside. He hadn't expected beating Sasuke Uchiha up to bring such huge gains!

First the Sharingan, then the Uchiha Clan's complete collection of Fire Release techniques, and now a Water Release ninjutsu. He'd hit the jackpot!

Sasuke Uchiha! You really are my lucky star! I'll definitely go easier on you when I beat you up in the future!

Seeing the beaming expression on Makoto Ito's face, Tobirama Senju could not help but speak.

Tobirama Senju: Look at that country-bumpkin expression of yours! It's just one Water Release ninjutsu. Look how happy you are! When I give you a couple of my forbidden techniques later, won't you be over the moon?

Makoto Ito: Really? Foster Father, please accept your son's bow!!!!

Hashirama Senju: Little brother! When did you get a son? Didn't you never marry?

Tobirama Senju: Shut up, big brother!

Madara Uchiha: Good kid! For the sake of a few nice things, you've completely thrown away your dignity! I, Madara Uchiha, have truly seen it all today!

Izuna Uchiha: Good lord, just good lord! I can only use two words to describe you: fucking awesome!

Minato Namikaze: Truly fucking awesome!

Makoto Ito: Cough, cough... What's wrong? I only called him Foster Father once. I wanted to! If you give me your signature skills, I can call you Foster Father too! What is dignity? How much silver is it worth? Can it teach me ninjutsu? Dignity is the cheapest thing in this world! The day I gain strength, my dignity will naturally return!
