Chapter Thirty-Six: Excited Naruto, the Famous Bai Hao [Three Updates, Please Favorite]

The red-haired woman at the door left him momentarily stunned.

Then he suddenly came to his senses.

He thought of Karin, whom he had encountered not long ago.

"You...

You...

You're from the Uzumaki Clan!"

Kushina smiled and nodded.

She felt that her son was incredibly knowledgeable.

"But, big sis, what are you looking for me for?"

"Bang!"

Kushina slammed a fist into Naruto's head.

"Call me Mom!"

"Mom?"

Naruto was stunned.

Then he thought of the red hair of the person before him.

As well as his surname—Uzumaki!

And the strange catchphrase this woman shared with him.

Suddenly, he had a bold guess.

"You... you...

Could you be my mom?"

"Of course~"

Kushina smiled and pulled Naruto into her arms.

"Naruto, I'm truly sorry for appearing so late."

"I've always... always wanted to see you...

Mom..."

"This Chakra..."

As Naruto and Kushina embraced,

the Nine-Tails inside Naruto suddenly opened its eyes.

"Kushina!

It's her!

It's definitely her!

Wasn't she dead!?"

The Nine-Tails was confused.

Its face was full of question marks.

"So that's how it is~"

After Kushina finished telling Naruto about the years she had been "missing" and some other things from the past,

a delighted smile appeared on Naruto's face.

"So my dad was the Fourth Hokage!

So that's why they called me the Demon Fox!

Hahaha~

I understand now.

I understand everything!"

With that, he suddenly raised a thumbs-up.

"I've decided!

I'll keep all of this a secret.

Then, once I become Hokage one day, I'll tell everyone else!"

"That's wonderful~"

Kushina smiled and nodded.

"But, Mom..."

Naruto suddenly looked at Kushina with concern.

"Is it really okay that you suddenly came back to life?"

"It's fine~"

Kushina smiled brightly.

"Although Minato left some arrangements in the seal of the Nine-Tails inside you,

once these conditions are triggered, you can see me.

But.

Being able to meet you once in person,

even if I were to die right now, I would have no regrets~"

"Spit, spit, spit!

Don't say such unlucky things!"

Naruto hurriedly covered Kushina's mouth.

"Right!"

Then he thought of something and rushed to the head of the bed, where he picked up his little wallet.

"Mom!

You've definitely never eaten at Ichiraku Ramen, have you?

Let's go!

I'll treat you to ramen!"

Looking at the excited Naruto, Kushina merely smiled without saying anything.

Actually, in the past, she had often gone to Ichiraku for ramen with Minato Namikaze.

After the meal, Naruto took Kushina around Konoha.

To conceal her identity.

And to protect Naruto's safety.

Kushina remained disguised the entire time.

After all.

As the wife of the Fourth Hokage, she was still quite famous.

"Mom!

Look over there! Look!"

Naruto excitedly pointed toward a bookstore in the distance.

"The owner of that bookstore

was my first friend!

Back then, no one would play with me.

He was the only exception.

His eyes were filled with kindness whenever he looked at me!"

"Oh?"

Kushina was stunned.

Then she looked toward the bookstore with great interest.

She was very interested in her son's first friend.

"Not only that.

He also taught me ninjutsu.

A special technique called the Rasengan!

He said he invented it himself!"

"The Rasengan!?"

Kushina was shocked.

"He invented it himself?

That was clearly invented by your father!"

"Huh!?"

Naruto was stunned.

"But he's the same age as me. There's no way he learned it from Dad, right?"

"From the looks of it, this boy must be an exceptionally clever genius ninja."

Kushina smiled and nodded.

"He might become a powerful rival on your path to becoming Hokage~"

"No way!

He's already given up on being a ninja!"

"?"

Kushina was stunned.

Then she became even more interested in Bai Hao.

"Then let's go in and take a look~"

"Okay!

I want to introduce you to him, too!"

As he spoke, Naruto pulled Kushina toward Bai Hao's bookstore.

"Bai Hao!

Bai Hao!"

Naruto dashed excitedly into the bookstore.

Then he saw Bai Hao reading a book in front of the counter.

"Bai Hao!

Look!
