Chapter 217

Akito gestured, and we continued forward. That row ahead should be Naruto Uzumaki's residence from the manga.

"Woo~."

At that moment, Kushina suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

She struggled to stand up straight, her legs trembling.

His breathing became a little heavier.

As she walked, the Chakra torture devices she wore began to take effect.

This made it difficult for her to walk.

Buzz...

The clandestine sounds of Chakra instruments operating were clearly heard by Akito.

Because of her extreme effort to endure it, Kushina even started to sweat.

"Help me up."

The Akito remained expressionless, showing no sign of pity or tenderness towards the woman.

He simply asked Kushina to support him.

Then.

Kushina could only reach out and grab Akito's arm.

Then, he took unsteady steps and continued walking forward.

"Naruto..."

To see the child.

Kushina pursed her lips... and chose to continue enduring.

What should have been a 5-minute walk took Kushina a full 15 minutes to complete.

Stumbling and stopping along the way, she finally arrived at the house.

"Huff... huff..."

Kushina was already drenched in sweat.

It was winter, but she was unbearably hot.

This shows that the Chakra- based restraints are very effective; she absolutely cannot escape.

He swallowed.

Kushina tried to calm her breathing, gripping Akito's arm with one hand, and slowly raised her head.

The winter sun shone on the dwelling, making the windows of the small building bright.

Then, a blurry figure sat up and stretched.

And that was Naruto Uzumaki.

I'm four years old this year, and I'll be five when the New Year comes soon.

According to the original story's timeline, Naruto Uzumaki would have started school at age 6.

He was already quite famous before that...

"Naruto..."

Kushina straightened her body and looked carefully, examining it from left to right.

Wide-eyed, trying to see clearly.

The Akito said, "Someone's coming. Let's go to the side. Your behavior is too conspicuous."

The low, cold tone roused Kushina.

She didn't want to leave; she longed to rush in, hug her child, and ask him countless questions...

But...

My body trembled slightly as I went through a fierce internal struggle.

Kushina nodded.

Then, the two moved into the shadows of a nearby alley.

"Given your son's temperament and personality, he'll run out the moment he finishes breakfast."

"His favorite foods are Ichiraku Ramen, instant noodles, and milk. But because he's so careless, he sometimes lets the milk expire..."

Akito was talking about Naruto Uzumaki's behavior.

Many fan fiction works criticize him.

They say the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, specifically gave Naruto Uzumaki expired milk or something like that.

In fact.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would give Naruto Uzumaki living expenses.

Naruto Uzumaki bought all the items himself.

Fresh milk has a very short shelf life, and Naruto Uzumaki and let it expire—that's the truth.

After all, the shelf life of packaged fresh milk is only ten days to a month.

As for catching fish in the river, that's just the TV animation production team's own idea and shouldn't be considered historical fact.

"Alright, Lady Kushina, you haven't had breakfast either, have you? Do you remember our deal?"

The Akito said meaningfully.

That chilling gaze made Kushina's face turn pale, and then her lips trembled.

But she still remembers the details of the deal.

Then.

Kushina slowly, very slowly, squatted down...

Half an hour later.

After washing up, boiling water, making instant noodles, and eating breakfast, Naruto Uzumaki opened the door and left home with a big smile.

Click

Naruto Uzumaki dashed out of the house like a whirlwind.

In a shadowy alleyway nearby, Kushina had also finished her breakfast.

"Cough cough cough..."

She covered her mouth, trying to calm herself down.

Then, he immediately stood up and turned to look at the running figure.

Then, she opened her eyes wide...

Golden, tousled hair; a cheerful, carefree, sunny smile; a healthy body...

All of this was reflected in Kushina's eyes.

Time seemed to slow down, or even stand still, at this moment.

Kushina's eyes were filled with the image of her son, Naruto Uzumaki...

"Naruto..."

Really.

This appearance and personality are those of my and Minato's child.

146. Kushina's Dinner

The transition from extreme stillness to extreme motion takes only a few seconds.

The Gate of Meeting the entrance to Konoha erupted in excitement.

With the arrival of the one-eyed dragon, the leader of the Kumogakure.

This marks the official arrival of the Kumogakure Village delegation in Konoha!!!

"Ooooooo~~~~!"

The cheers of the Konoha people were deafening.

At this point, Konoha was plunged into a frenzy of celebration.

"Hmph..."

The one-eyed ninja leader waved to the Konoha citizens on both sides.

On his fierce face.

What's hidden there is utter malice.

This alliance is nothing more than a facade.

His true purpose was to take advantage of the diplomatic situation, under the orders of the Lord Raikage, to capture the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan Main Family.

This will strengthen the power of Kumogakure.

"Welcome, everyone, to those who have traveled from afar!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, personally appeared on the road to welcome the delegation.

"Hokage, you're still going strong, haha."

The two exchanged pleasantries and talked as they walked toward the Hokage Building.

Next, we'll wait until we reach the conference room to discuss the ceasefire.

Konoha yearns for peace, while Kumogakure... covets the Byakugan...

A small park for resting.

"Cough cough..."

Kushina coughed and vomited.

She immediately ran to the pool, drank the water spraying from the tap, and then rinsed her mouth vigorously.

Then, he began to rub and wash his hands.

I was having breakfast earlier, hoping to see my child as soon as possible.

Eating in a less-than-refined manner, using both hands simultaneously, or even using both hands to assist, is quite normal.

This was also the first time in Kushina's life that she had learned to eat in such an unladylike way.

After she finished washing up, panting heavily, she looked up and gazed in a certain direction.

Just now, Naruto was passing by the small park and ran onto the swings.

At this moment, apart from the swaying swing, Naruto was nowhere to be seen.

"Naruto..."

Kushina couldn't help but feel anxious.

She also wanted to see more of her children.

Then.

Kushina, supporting herself on Akito's arm, dragged her trembling body as she observed Naruto's daily routine.

She saw Naruto splashing paint everywhere.

They play all sorts of pranks.

Playing pranks on others.
