What Should We Name Them? Naruto (Without Hesitation): Yukino, Himawari

Now Naruto has gone from having two women he cared about most to having four, plus two more younger ones.

However, almost everyone's attention was focused on the children.

"Don't hold the baby like that, it'll hurt them," Hyuga Hiashi scolded Naruto, and then personally demonstrated how to hold the baby more correctly.

Naruto sneaked off to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, while Ino was free, and the Yamanaka couple were busy taking care of the child. Even the usually workaholic Inoichi Yamanaka didn't go to work and stayed home instead.

"I'm not going. It won't matter if the Intelligence Department loses one more person." Inoichi Yamanaka waved his hand impatiently. "Go away, don't bother me."

Naruto had no choice but to sit side by side with Ino on the sofa, and took a bite of the pear Ino handed him.

What should we do?

"I don't know." Ino was flipping through a magazine. "I can't help at all. I'll have to wait a while before it's my turn to hold the baby."

"Um, I could have been helpful," Naruto somewhat awkwardly, "But it seems I was overthinking it. They don't need me at all."

"Shh, you'd better keep your voice down. If your father and mother hear you, they might scold you," Ino said in a low voice. "Last night they were talking to me about fatherly and motherly love and stuff like that."

"They're so devoted to the child now, why didn't they ever think of treating me this well before?"

"Perhaps their love for their children is always subtle; the bond between grandparents and grandchildren is different." Naruto hugged Ino and comforted her, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do that."

"Alright, how's Hinata doing?" Ino asked.

"You asked twice, and everything went smoothly, even more so than for you," Naruto said. "You have no idea how agonizing it was waiting in the Konoha Hospital corridor. Your mother almost couldn't bear to watch anymore."

"Why?"

"They find it annoying that we keep walking around," Naruto laughed.

"Why provoke her? My mother is actually more like a princess. She used to be the boss at home." Ino leaned back on the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"I used to be quite afraid of her, and I would occasionally try to please her. I don't have that thought anymore. I thought it was because I've grown up, but I later realized that's not the case."

"She's just gotten older and realized she can't be as willful as a girl in her twenties anymore. So she instantly switched roles and became a mother."

Ino was observing Naruto's reaction as she said this.

He remembered that a few years ago, on a rainy afternoon, Ino had told him some things about her childhood, including her views on her mother.

At that time, Ino had some resentment towards her mother, but now things have changed.

Naruto didn't know what Ino was thinking, but he was afraid that Ino would be depressed after giving birth, so he stayed with her until nightfall before leaving the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

Hinata seemed to be in better spirits, which put Naruto at ease.

He finally got home, only to look up and see it was already four in the morning. A month of hard work was almost over, and he no longer needed to travel back and forth.

After washing up, I closed my eyes and slept until the afternoon of the next day.

Naruto woke up groggily, completely unaware of his situation. As he washed up in front of the mirror, he suddenly remembered that he, Ino, and Hinata had a child, and he felt a strange sense of unease.

There's no worry about who will take care of the children on either side, and Naruto doesn't need to stay up day and night to take turns watching over and coaxing them to sleep. Both families can handle these things perfectly well.

That's why Naruto almost forgot he had a child.

Getting up and then visiting the Yamanaka Clan and Hyuga Clan Compound respectively has almost become Naruto's daily routine. After three or four days, news came from Black Zetsu.

"No news for over two months, have you been hunting Tailed Beast or gone on vacation?"

"It's none of your business. Anyway, I've prepared the Tailed Beast." Black Zetsu said, looking somewhat disheveled. "Now it's time to fulfill your promise: the last Tailed Beast."

"Understood, there will definitely be results within three days," Naruto said casually.

Black Zetsu nodded, knowing the nature of the man before him and not wanting to give him an opportunity to mock him. So he simply left without uttering a single harsh word.

After Black Zetsu left, Naruto did not rush to set off. Instead, he went to the Yamanaka Clan and Hyuga Clan Compound as usual to see Ino and Hinata and check on the children.

Both women need to rest. Although the ninja has a better physique, proper rest is very beneficial to both their health and appearance.

"Your daughter has been born for so long, but she still doesn't have a name. Why don't you give her a name?" Inoichi Yamanaka patted Naruto on the shoulder and suggested.

"Yukino." Naruto almost without hesitation.

"You've already thought of this?" Ino looked up, somewhat surprised. "It's a nice name. I thought you'd never considered it."

"Oh, I guess so. Actually, I hadn't thought about it before," Naruto explained, his sweet words flowing effortlessly. "I was so worried about your safety that I only came up with the name for the child a few days later."

"Alright, Yukino is a nice name." Ino smiled and stood up from the sofa, looking at Inoichi Yamanaka and asking, "Father, what do you think of this name?"

"Your child's name is whatever you like." Inoichi Yamanaka wasn't bothered by it. He glanced at Yamanaka Rino, who was also smiling, clearly satisfied with the name.

And so, the name Uzumaki Yukino was decided, and she became the newest princess of the Yamanaka Clan.

"Yukino will be our family princess from now on. Let Grandpa hold her." Inoichi Yamanaka didn't want to deal with the two boring adults and went upstairs to play with his granddaughter.

"The wedding should be about to start, right? How about we do it after you've recovered?" Naruto brought up the wedding himself, adding, "I'll have Choji help with the details; his wedding was pretty good."

"Aside from the fact that the newlyweds aren't as good-looking as us, the whole wedding process was alright. By hiring someone, I can also make my parents worry less and get some rest."

"Okay," Ino said with a smile.

Hyuga Clan Compound.

Hinata looked at Naruto had arrived and asked him the same question.

"Himawari," he said decisively, without any difficulty in making a decision. "I think this name is great. In the future, our daughter will be as warm as the sun."

"I really like this name." Hinata's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's really quite nice," Hanabi Hyuga said with a smile. "Now she has a beautiful aunt and a beautiful name."

Naruto subconsciously ignored the first half of Hanabi's sentence and frowned as he spoke.

"If you're too bored, you can go to the Ninja Academy and just laze around doing nothing."

Upon hearing this, Hanabi turned around and threw herself into Hinata's arms, pretending to cry.

"Sis, my brother-in-law called me a good-for-nothing!"

"Alright, he didn't scold you." Hinata smiled and patted Hanabi on the back, radiating maternal warmth. "Himawari is born, I won't have as much time to spend with you."

"If you really have free time, you can consider working at the Hokage Building. Just have Naruto and Kakashi-sensei say a word, and you can get a job."

"No, I don't want to go to the Hokage Building!" Hanabi clung to Hinata, refusing to let go. "I want to play with Himawari too! Nobody can separate us!"

"If my father knew that you do nothing all day, he would probably be angry," Hinata said hesitantly.

"It's okay, with my brother-in-law around, he'll definitely find a way." Hanabi said nonchalantly, "Father doesn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as my brother-in-law, and he can't outmaneuver him."

Hinata covered her face upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "How can you speak so disparagingly of my father? If anyone hears this, then..."

Before the thought had even faded, a suppressed cough rang out.

"Cough cough!"

Hanabi was startled and jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, mechanically looking back. She turned pale when she saw Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga's stern face.

She turned to look at Naruto, her eyes filled with hope.

"Um..." Naruto's lips curled up slightly, "Hanabi, you're not right to say that. Father didn't make things difficult for me because he cares about his juniors."

"What are you talking about? What methods are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

Hanabi was dumbfounded; she never expected her scheming brother-in-law to be so heartless. She was furious, yet utterly embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole in a three-bedroom apartment with her toes and disappear.

"What I just said meant..."

"Hanabi, don't be naughty next time," Naruto said earnestly, completely ignoring Hanabi's murderous glare, before turning his head to pretend he had accidentally seen Hyuga Hiashi.

"Father." Naruto bowed in a perfunctory manner, a gesture the Hyuga Clan loved.

"Hmm." Hyuga Hiashi replied with a straight face, then looked at Hanabi Hyuga with a look that seemed to ask, "Are you planning a rebellion?"

Hanabi kept her head down, inwardly cursing Naruto, that green tea brother-in-law, to the bone.

"Haha, Father, what brings you here?"

"I just came to visit, but I didn't expect someone to say I'm old." Hyuga Hiashi was embarrassed to say that he came to see his granddaughter, and he just happened to catch a wicked little girl talking badly about him behind his back.

He has always been strict with his two daughters' upbringing, but in recent years he has gradually started to let them grow up more freely, since his eldest daughter ran off with Huang Mao and he can no longer control her.

Now, not only has the blond guy gotten his daughter pregnant, but what's even more tragic is that Hyuga Hiashi has discovered that this blond guy is actually more capable than him, which is quite awkward.

After all that commotion, Hyuga Hiashi was too lazy to care about anything else.

Hanabi looked flustered. "Father, that's not what I meant. It's just that I'm sorry, Father."

Hanabi Hyuga decisively chose to surrender, immediately offering a French military salute and bowing in apology.

"What have you been doing Hyuga Hiashi day? Go back to your room and reflect on your actions!" Hiashi Hyuga scolded sternly. "What kind of behavior is this!"

The Hanabi, looking rather forlorn, could only slink away.

She never expected that the Hyuga Hiashi would change his attitude so drastically. She cautiously peeked inside and asked...

Where is my little granddaughter? Is she asleep?

"She's upstairs, she should be awake by now." Hinata smiled, went upstairs and brought Himawari down. "By the way, Father, what do you think of the name Himawari?"

"Okay, as long as you think it sounds good." Hyuga Hiashi didn't object, his gaze following Himawari's movements. "If he's really awake, let Grandpa hold him."

Hinata and Naruto exchanged a smile.

~~

The next day.

After settling his family affairs, Naruto did not head towards the Land of Wind, nor did he go to the Land of Snow or the Land of Rain. Instead, he went to the Land of Lightning first and met with the Yugito Nii.

Upon meeting, the Yugito Nii readily surrendered their armor and engaged in a fierce, drawn-out battle. Midway through, she couldn't take it anymore and called for a break.

"You've been keeping your vows for three years?" The Yugito Nii breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Naruto with some helplessness. "If you have a problem with me, you can just say so. There's no need to torture me."

"No, I've just been pretty tired lately." Naruto leaned back on the sofa, looking at the window with a slightly annoyed expression. "If this keeps up, I'm going to go crazy."

"What's the meaning?"

"I'm already invincible in one-on-one, no amount of self-hypnosis will help, I have to switch to doubles." Naruto sighed, but where could he find doubles? The format itself was already unfair.

Moreover, the current version doesn't have many multiplayer tournaments; one-on-one matches are more common, or it's a relay race.

"Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business." Naruto turned to look at the Yugito Nii. "Did Killer B come back alive? Can he still threaten your position now?"

"He's alive. I brought him back with my men." Nii Yugito narrowed his eyes. "How should I put it? A Jinchuriki who is a Tailed Beast is indeed pitiful without his Tailed Beast."

"When you took away the Two-Tails from my body, I had some complaints. Now I finally understand what you meant when you said that the Tailed Beast would hinder my development."

"How so?" Naruto asked.

"The power of the Two-Tails is not strong enough, far from enough." Yugito said calmly. "Killer Bee lost the Eight-Tails and is still not free. You are right, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are ultimately just weapons."

"No matter how friendly the Hidden Cloud Village is to the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, it's useless. In their eyes, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are always just weapons."

"Of course," Naruto said nonchalantly. "Freedom can only be earned by oneself, not given by others. I understood this principle six years ago."

"It's not so bad that Killer B lost the Eight-Tails; at least he can live a little longer."

"Do Tailed Beast really affect the lifespan of Jinchuriki?" Yugito Nii asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, you just don't feel it yourself," Naruto replied. Actually, he was just making this up, but he was the authority on Tailed Beast now, so he could say whatever he wanted.

As for whether it will reduce lifespan, it varies from person to person.

"There's one more thing, about Samui and Mabui." The Yugito Nii turned to Naruto and said, "They've thought it through and want to do something."

"Hmm, didn't we already say that?" Naruto, somewhat surprised.

"No, they want to prove their loyalty," she said.
