Uzumaki Kushina pouted. "Seriously, my husband's so busy! He just got back and he's already been conscripted! Damn it, that evil Uchiha Kō! If it weren't for the fact that you're my brother-in-law, I would have beaten you up already!"
Uzumaki Kushina wasn't in a good mood at the moment. She felt a little sorry for her husband; he had lost so much weight! Uzumaki Kushina touched Namikaze Minato's face, feeling a pang of heartache.
Namikaze Minato doesn't think he's lost any weight! Although the mission was a bit troublesome, he ate and drank as usual along the way and didn't feel like he'd lost any weight!
But what he didn't know was that there's a saying, "If your wife thinks you're thin, then you are thin!"
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat, honey. Go call Naruto! I'll go get the dishes!" Uzumaki Kushina said with a smile. Minato nodded and walked towards Naruto on the sofa. That kid, he didn't even wake up when he smelled the food.
So Namikaze Minato gave him a light tap on the butt, and Naruto slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he exclaimed, "Dad! You're finally back!"
"Hmm, my good son, have you been waiting for a long time? I brought you a souvenir this time!" With that, Namikaze Minato took out a Ninjutsu scroll and handed it to his son Naruto, showing him the toys and local specialties he had bought while on missions in other countries.
Naruto glanced at it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take it and play with it. Since the Nine-Tails wasn't sealed inside Naruto's body, his training speed wasn't affected, and he had already reached the level of Genin at this age.
Although she was far inferior to Uchiha Rou, she was slightly better than Sasuke Uchiha. Despite not attending school, their talent was undeniable, allowing them to surpass ordinary people by a great margin.
"Thank you, Dad! Dad loves you! Naruto is so happy to have you and Mom around!" Naruto grinned, playing happily with the toys Namikaze Minato had bought for him.
Although he was Namikaze Minato's son, he didn't have the spoiled and willful nature of a second-generation disciple. On the contrary, he enjoyed making friends, and his family's food, clothing, and daily necessities were all quite standard.
He perfectly inherited Namikaze Minato's talent for making friends with Genin, and now his friends include Hyuga Hinata, Sasuke Uchiha, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and others.
The group made a pact to go to school together next year and dominate the Ninja Academy. Does that sound childish? But their words are anything but childish; their fathers were all high-ranking figures in Konoha.
If they really wanted to dominate Konoha Academy, it would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, their parents had warned them not to use their family's power to bully others.
Therefore, to dominate the Ninja Academy, they can only rely on their talent, their abilities, and their hard work to become invincible within the academy!
Getting back to the main topic
Seeing Naruto like this, Namikaze Minato smiled, as if all the busyness of the past few days had been worthwhile, since he saw a smile on his son's face.
"Naruto, Minato, come eat! Try my cooking. I learned from a master chef specializing in National Style, and even my teacher praised my rapid progress!" Uzumaki Kushina said with a smile.
The father and son exchanged a glance, then walked towards the dining table together. Looking at the dishes on the table, they both swallowed hard, making Uzumaki Kushina laugh for a long time. This father and son really were in sync in some things!
Uzumaki Kushina served rice to the father and son, then picked out dishes for them one by one. Watching them wolf down their food gave her a great sense of accomplishment.
After dinner, the father and son washed the dishes together. Namikaze Minato stood there while Naruto stood on a stool. Namikaze Minato set an example by diligently wiping the plates, and the son imitated his father's actions and washed the dishes as well.
Uzumaki Kushina's heart melted at the sight. This was the life she longed for. She had even thought how wonderful it would be if the Ninja World were at peace, without war or exploitation, where her family could live together in harmony.
Unfortunately, wherever there are people, there are conflicts of interest; wherever there are people, there is no way to avoid strife. This has always been the law, and no one can change it.
Uzumaki Kushina simply hopes that her family can live in harmony, happiness, and good health!
Actually, it was Uchiha Kō gave Naruto his name. He said that Naruto would definitely achieve great things in the future, and whether or not there would be peace in the future depended on him.
However, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato took it all as just pleasantries from Uchiha Kō and didn't take it to heart.
After washing the dishes, Naruto went out to find Hyuga Hinata to play. Since Namikaze Minato and Hyuga Hiashi were fellow disciples, Hyuga Hiashi welcomed Naruto to his house to play with Hyuga Hinata.
For some reason, Hyuga Hinata was always in a good mood after playing with Naruto, and she learned things much faster. Originally, she was quite different from Hyuga Neji, but now she could almost fight Hyuga Neji a draw.
According to Hinata, she once demonstrated Tai Chi Fist in front of Naruto grasped some of the principles, then explained those feelings to her, which made her feel that her Tai Chi skills had improved.
This Hyuga Hiashi. After quickly asking what Naruto had said, his pupils contracted. This kid's comprehension is off the charts!
It seems necessary to let my daughter spend more time with Naruto. As expected of the eldest brother's son, she has perfectly inherited his talent! And those eyes are so discerning, taking in everything.
During this time, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina played some couple games at home to strengthen their relationship, which lasted for three hours before ending.
Naruto seemed to have returned at the perfect time. After returning, he didn't notice anything unusual, took a shower with a normal expression, and went back to his room to rest.
In the evening
Naruto lay in bed unable to sleep. He wasn't from this era; to be precise, he had been reborn, and his memories were stuck at the moment he was sealed away by Kawaki.
His consciousness was in complete darkness. He didn't know how long it had been before he opened his eyes and found that he had been born in this time and space. In this time and space, his father did not become the Fourth Hokage, but a person named Uchiha Kō became the Fourth Hokage.
His mother did not become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki; the current Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is still Uzumaki Mito. Everything in this world is so much better than in his.
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't inform Konoha for too long, Shimura Danzō, now a good teacher in Konoha, wondered countless times if he was being trapped in Genjutsu.
Because of his past life, his eyesight and combat strength are far superior to those of his previous life. However, he is not clear about the situation, so he hides his strength and disguises his personality to appear harmless.
Only when the night is deep and quiet would he recall everything about his past life. He stretched out his hand and clenched it. He had lived here for six or seven years, using countless methods to break Genjutsu, only to find them all in vain.
In other words, he really was reborn, but the world he was reborn into was somewhat different from the original world, and it also brought him some joy.
"Uchiha Kō, huh? I really look forward to meeting you!" Naruto smiled, a smile that seemed beyond his years appearing on his face. Everything in Konoha right now made him feel very comfortable.
Only after taking power and becoming the Seventh Hokage did Naruto realize the true nature of the village. However, by then he was already at the pinnacle of the Ninja World, just like Senju Hashirama before him, which is why a war was not triggered.
He is no longer the headstrong "Naruto," but the returned Seventh Hokage.
Lost in thought, Naruto drifted off to sleep.
The next day
At Naruto's insistence, Namikaze Minato reluctantly brought Naruto to the Hokage Villa, because Naruto said he admired his mentor and Wish to Meet him.
At this moment, Uchiha Kō was drinking coffee at home when suddenly a system notification sounded, "Ding, a reborn individual has been detected approaching. The reborn individual's name is Naruto."
"Ding, the Naruto you are now is the Kawaki sealed in Daikokuten by Naruto, possessing all his memories. Please be careful, host." The system notification ended.
Uchiha Kō was stunned. "Hey! System, didn't you say this world would be ours from now on? How could something like this happen!"
"Ding, host, don't panic, let me check." The system's digital voice kept ringing out, and finally it replied, "Ding, a malfunction was detected in another system dimension. The Daikokuten effect is malfunctioning, causing Naruto to be reborn."
"He shouldn't have come to our world, but our battle with the Heavenly Dao caused the world's barrier to thin, which is why Naruto of Daikokuten was reborn into our world!"
"Ding! The system is repairing the world barrier. Repair complete!"
Uchiha Kō's lips twitched. "Dude, are we supposed to discover and treat this on the spot? The key is that the current Naruto is the soul of the Seventh Hokage! Can't we solve this?"
"Ding! The system is unable to send his soul away. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Uchiha Kō scratched his head. Oh well, whatever. What's done is done.
Ding-dong, the doorbell rang.
Uchiha Kō got up and walked towards the door. He opened the villa door and saw Namikaze Minato looking at him with a helpless expression. "Master, Naruto insists on coming to see you."
Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "It's alright, please come in." With that, Uchiha Kō gestured for them to enter. Naruto had been observing Uchiha Kō the whole time, but he couldn't recall such a person from the Uchiha Clan or Konoha's history.
Seeing that Uchiha Kō gentle and refined with an extraordinary air, Naruto knew that this guy was not easy to deal with! Moreover, sensing that his aura had already reached the half-step Six Paths level!
While Naruto was pondering this, Uchiha Kō was also thinking. He was wondering what Naruto would do. He didn't know what Naruto's attitude was towards him and the Uchiha.
