He stared at the red-haired woman at the door, momentarily stunned.
Then, he snapped back to reality.
He remembered Karin, whom he had met not long ago.
"You...
You...
You're from the Uzumaki Clan!"
Kushina smiled and nodded at his words.
She thought her son was incredibly knowledgeable.
"But, big sister, why are you looking for me?"
"Duang!"
Kushina punched Naruto on the head.
"You have to call me Mom!"
Chapter 36: Excited Naruto, the Famous Bai Hao [Third update, please collect and flowers]
"Mom?"
Naruto blinked in surprise.
Then he thought of the woman's red hair.
And her last name—Uzumaki!
And this woman's strange catchphrase, which was just like his own.
Suddenly, a bold guess formed in his mind.
"You... you...
Are you my mother?"
"Of course~"
Kushina hugged Naruto with a smile.
"Naruto, I'm so sorry for appearing so late."
"I've always... always wanted to see you...
Mom..."
"This chakra..."
As Naruto and Kushina embraced.
Inside Naruto, the Nine-Tails suddenly opened its eyes.
"Kushina!
It's her!
It's definitely her!
Didn't she die!?"
The Nine-Tails was confused.
Its face was full of question marks.
"So that's how it is~"
After listening to Kushina recount her "disappearance" over the past few years and other past events.
Naruto's face broke into a very happy smile.
"So my dad was the Fourth Hokage!
So that's why they called me the Demon Fox!
Haha~
I understand.
I understand everything now!"
With that, he gave a thumbs-up.
"I've decided!
I'm going to keep all of this a secret.
I'll tell everyone else when I become Hokage one day!"
"That's wonderful~"
Kushina smiled and nodded.
"But Mom..."
Naruto suddenly looked at Kushina with some worry.
"Is it really okay that you suddenly came back to life?"
"It's fine~"
Kushina smiled brilliantly.
"Although Minato left some arrangements within the Nine-Tails' seal in you.
When these situations are triggered, you can see me.
But.
To be able to see you in person like this.
I have no regrets even if I have to die now~"
"Bah, bah, bah!
Don't say such unlucky things!"
Naruto quickly covered Kushina's mouth.
"Right!"
Then he thought of something and rushed to the bedside, picking up his small wallet.
"Mom!
You must not have eaten Ichiraku Ramen yet, right?
Let's go!
I'll treat you to ramen!"
Looking at the excited Naruto, Kushina just smiled without speaking.
Actually, in the past, she often went to Ichiraku Ramen with Minato Namikaze.
After the meal, Naruto took Kushina around Konohagakure.
To hide her identity.
And protect Naruto's safety.
Kushina wore a disguise the entire time.
After all.
As the wife of the Fourth Hokage, she was quite famous.
"Mom!
Look over there! Look over there!"
Naruto excitedly pointed at a bookstore not far away.
"The owner of that bookstore.
He's my first friend!
Back then, no one played with me.
He was the only exception.
His eyes towards me were full of kindness!"
"Oh?"
Kushina was stunned upon hearing this.
Then she looked at the bookstore over there with great interest.
She was very curious about her son's first friend.
"Not only that.
He also taught me Ninjutsu.
A special move called Rasengan!
He said he created it himself!"
"Rasengan!?"
Kushina was shocked.
"What do you mean he created it.
Your father created that!"
"Huh!?"
Naruto was taken aback by the words.
"But he's the same age as me, there's no way he learned it from Dad, right?"
"It seems this young man is an extremely intelligent, genius ninja."
Kushina smiled and nodded.
"He might become a powerful rival on your path to Hokage~"
"No way!
He's already given up on being a ninja!"
"?"
Kushina was surprised.
Then she became even more interested in Bai Hao.
"Then let's go inside and take a look~"
"Okay!
I want to introduce you to him too!"
With that, Naruto pulled Kushina towards Bai Hao's bookstore.
"Bai Hao! Seven
Bai Hao!" One
Naruto excitedly rushed into the bookstore. Two
Then he saw Bai Hao reading a book at the counter. Five
"Bai Hao! Seven
Look! Six"
