Chapter 320

After a while, she calmed her breathing.

She opened her little mouth tremblingly and continued to eat her food with great effort.

A hissing sound kept entering my ears.

Watching a beautiful woman eat is also a delightful sight.

"Your son, Naruto Uzumaki, will be reviewing his Clone Technique in class today... and tomorrow is his graduation exam."

Because Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi made an exception for him, allowing Naruto Uzumaki to take the graduation exam early.

As a result, Naruto Uzumaki failed both times.

This is the third time.

People like Sasuke and Sakura are ordinary students who don't have this connection.

They can only obediently participate in the normal graduation exam process.

At this point, the Akito paused.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Naruto Uzumaki will fail his graduation exam again tomorrow.

Then, the "Scroll of Seals" is stolen, and Naruto Uzumaki, who has learned the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," embarks on the path of bloodline theory.

With the end of the discourse of the Akito.

Everything seemed to fall silent, except for the sound of Kushina swallowing her food; there was no other sound in the room...

Time flies.

The sun rises and sets.

As dusk fell, Akito grabbed Kushina's hair tightly.

After a moment, he suddenly pushed her away.

Soon, Kushina had been lying on the tatami mat, quickly got up and stumbled into the bathroom. Then, the sound of retching came from behind her...

When she came out, Akito had already disappeared.

Perhaps he went to investigate the situation in Konoha.

Or perhaps... they've gone to do something else.

Kushina stood blankly in the room, and soon collapsed to the floor in despair.

Then, she covered her mouth and started crying again.

Tears fell like raindrops from a kite with a broken string.

Kushina suppressed her sobs.

"Minato..."

She longed for her husband and for her children.

It made her unable to stop crying.

Although her husband is dead, Naruto has become her only remaining bond.

But...

This erroneous behavior is still...

"I'm sorry... Minato, I'm so sorry..."

Kushina was filled with sorrow and hatred for Amakawa Akito.

But she knew.

At this moment, you absolutely must not anger that man, otherwise, Naruto will definitely die.

For her son's safety, she... had to endure it...

Be patient until Naruto continues to grow up healthy.

As entrusted by Minato, master the power of the Nine-Tails.

To accomplish what neither I nor Mito could...

Become the "Perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki"!

At that point, dealing with the Amakawa Akito will become possible.

I must continue living until that opportunity arrives.

"After all, only with my help can Naruto possibly defeat the Nine-Tails in the spiritual world..."

Kushina knew this all too well.

The Uzumaki Clan's bloodline provides a counter to the Nine-Tails.

One day, Naruto will inevitably face the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails is the most powerful Tailed Beast; its Chakra is not so easy to seize.

As a mother, my role is to help him at that moment...

Wow.

As the door opened, Akito returned.

After scouting around, they discovered that Naruto Uzumaki and Iruka had gone to Ichiraku Ramen.

After school, Naruto Uzumaki cleaned the graffiti on the Hokage Rock and talked to Iruka.

Now, just like in the original work, this teacher and student are explaining the meaning of the Hokage title and why they graffitied it.

"Come on, I'll take you to see your son again."

"!"

Kushina was taken aback, then quickly got up, sobbed for a moment, and tidied her appearance in front of the mirror.

She knew.

This was our last meeting.

Once this moment passes, we must return to Amegakure.

Then... he was stuffed back into the life support tank, and it's unclear when he'll be able to come out again...

Kushina's thoughts were naturally seen through by Akito at a glance.

Therefore, Akito decided to give Kushina a little surprise.

This was the second step in her plan to continue her downward spiral.

Soon, the two went out the door.

Even at night, Konoha's commercial streets are still packed with people.

It's 7 PM now.

It was the liveliest time.

Walking down the street, the darkness blocked out some of the light.

Therefore, Kushina's disguise is even less likely to be exposed.

The two quickly arrived next to the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

Even through the curtain, Kushina recognized her child at a glance. "Naruto..."

Naruto Uzumaki and Iruka sat together.

He was eating ramen with gusto.

"Teacher Iruka..."

Naruto Uzumaki raised his chopsticks and pointed them at Iruka.

"I will inherit the title of Hokage sooner or later, especially the Fourth Hokage, who was a hero who protected the village from the Nine-Tailed Fox! And I... will definitely surpass any Hokage!"

Smack

Naruto Uzumaki's words made Kushina cover her mouth in surprise.

She was both happy and sad.

Thankfully... even without knowing his parents' identities, Naruto still acknowledges his father.

What's heartbreaking is... seeing your child so close, yet unable to go up and hug them.

I really want to.

I met Naruto face to face, spoke to him personally, showed him concern and care, and accompanied him as he grew up...

Just as Kushina's eyes reddened and tears were about to fall again.

Akito, standing to the side, said in a cold voice, "It seems you really want to stay in Konoha and see your son's experiences and growth."

Kushina: "!"

"It's not entirely impossible."

The Akito looked towards Kushina.

At this moment, Kushina also turned her head and looked at Akito.

"So, Lady Kushina, you know exactly what to do, right...?"

The Akito stared intently at her.

We await her own decision.

He stayed in Konoha for an extended period to watch over his son.

Or... after tonight, I'll return to Amegakure and be stuffed back into the life support tank.

"The choice is yours to make, and the consequences are yours to bear."

The words, like the whispers of a demon, sent shivers down Kushina's spine.

She gazed at Naruto from a distance.

Watching Naruto and Iruka chatting and laughing, and even Iruka groaning because he had eaten several bowls of ramen in a row.

A long time...

Kushina watched Naruto leave happily with Iruka and made her choice. "I... will stay for a while."

"Very good."

The Akito nodded.

"Then let's stay in Konoha for a while."

Perfect timing, I need to keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki.

Ensure his growth trajectory.

245. Akito: Your son possesses the strongest bloodline.

That evening.

Kushina was covered with a quilt and sleeping on the tatami mat.

Amakawa Akito stood by the window, gazing at the night outside.

Kushina's body... trembled and shook incessantly under the covers.

Because she was afraid of what was about to happen.

However.

An hour, two hours, three hours passed...

Amakawa Akito remained motionless.

Confused and fearful, Kushina, exhausted from a long day and with incredibly sore chewing muscles, finally fell into a deep sleep.
