In the restaurant, under the warm lights, the aroma of the food is intertwined with the warmth of family reunion.
Minato and Kushina looked at Naruto's slightly solemn and hesitant expression, and couldn't help but feel the same curiosity and a subtle premonition in their hearts.
Is my son going to announce an important decision?
Is it about the tactical arrangements for the "Life-and-Death Chess Game" match with Sage of Six Paths one month later?
Or is it a major decision about the future development of Konoha?
Or something else?
The couple looked at each other and saw the same questions and expectations in each other's eyes.
Kushina even secretly squeezed Minato's hand, applying slight pressure on her fingertips, showing her inner concern.
I saw Naruto put down the bowls and chopsticks gently and sat up straight.
He took a deep breath and slowly glanced at everyone around the table.
Karin, who nervously pushed up his glasses, paused for a moment on Uchiha Hikari's face, who lowered his head slightly, with a slight blush on his cheeks, and finally settled on his own Parents.
He said in as smooth and clear a tone as possible:
"Mom, Dad, there's something... I want to tell you."
Coming!
Minato and Kushina's hearts skipped a beat.
"What's the matter, Naruto?"
Kushina immediately sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, with an undisguised smile of concern and expectation on his face. His bright blue eyes were similar to those of Naruto.
Minato also put down the soup bowl in his hand, folded his hands naturally on the table, with the same gentle smile on his face, and looked at his son intently, indicating that he was listening carefully and giving him the greatest support.
Naruto paused, seemed to organize his words, and seemed to encourage himself, and then faced Parents's eyes and clearly spit out the news that caused Minato's brain to shut down instantly:
"It's about... my engagement with several Girl sons."
"Oh, let's get engaged..."
Minato didn't react at first, or in other words, he subconsciously thought that Naruto had officially established a relationship with one of Girl's wives and was about to get engaged.
He nodded subconsciously, with a smile of relief and blessing on his face. He was about to say "That's a good thing, which girl is she from?" and other standard Parents lines...
However, when he reacted, his face immediately turned into one of shock.
"What!"
Minato's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened unconsciously, and his voice suddenly became louder due to extreme shock.
He wondered whether he was hallucinating or misunderstanding the meaning of the word "engagement" in this context.
How many? Is it a misunderstanding of "someone"?
Naruto looked at Minato's shocked look as if he had been hit by Tailed Beast Bomb at close range, and felt a little guilty.
But there is nothing we can do about it. You have to talk to Minato and the others about this kind of thing.
"Well... there are Ino, light, Karin, Hinata, Sakura, Hanabi, and Kazahana Koyuki..."
He paused and added, "Hanabi is still young and will be a few years later."
Every time he uttered a name clearly, the expression on Minato's face became stiffer, his eyes became rounder, and his mouth opened wider.
Ino, that eldest lady of the Yamanaka Clan, Sensing and Medical Ninjutsu are both outstanding Girl.
Guang, Uchiha Clan's orphan, has a very Uchiha personality.
Karin, Uzumaki Clan's distant relative, Kushina's favorite Girl, Medical Ninjutsu and Sensing are extremely talented.
The eldest lady of Hinata, Hyuga Main Family, has a gentle and tough personality, and almost everyone knows her feelings for Naruto.
Sakura, the female Ninja who was born as a commoner, is the companion of Team 7 along with Naruto and Sasuke.
Hanabi, Hinata Hyuga's younger sister, Hyuga Main Family's second lady... wait a minute, are Two Daughters and Two Daughters of the Hyuga Clan all here?
Silently thinking about Hiashi's expression, Minato suppressed a smile and continued to think about the identity of the last person.
Kazahana Koyuki, Daimyo of Land of Snow.
When Naruto finally said the number "seven", Minato was completely petrified.
His outstretched fingers still stayed stiffly in mid-air, as if he had lost his basic counting function and reaction ability, and his whole figure looked like a statue that had been cast upon a body.
Seven... seven?!
And, listen to these names.
Konoha is the daughter of a large family, and there is even a Daimyo from another country.
What's even more outrageous is that Hyuga Clan Two Daughters was all covered by him.
Hyuga Hiashi Do you know?
Will he come directly to kill you?
Minato felt like his brain was deprived of oxygen, and Venus seemed to be twinkling in front of his eyes.
He knew that his son was very popular. Whether it was his strength, status, or personal charm, he attracted countless attention. He also vaguely knew that Naruto was very close to these Girl sons, and they seemed to have some bonds beyond ordinary friendship.
But... I was engaged to seven Girl children at the same time...
This is no longer something that can be explained by "popularity".
This is simply... simply incredible.
Unbelievable!
Obviously, Kushina and I are both steadfast warriors of pure love.
Why did your painting style become so... so unrestrained when you came to your son's place?
Naruto: In fact, I am also pure love, but my love is like a guzheng, with several strings, each of which can play a beautiful movement. They resonate harmoniously and together form a complete melody.
Compared to the shocked look of Minato, who looked as if he had been swept by Nine-Tails's tail, his outlook was shattered, and his soul was out of body, Kushina's reaction was completely different after a brief moment of surprise with the same wide-eyed surprise.
Her eyes widened at first, as if she heard something incredible. But then, as if the dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone brightly, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face, which was like the warmest flower, like Naruto.
The corners of his mouth grew wider and wider uncontrollably, and the light in his eyes quickly changed from surprise to an indescribable excitement and ecstasy, as if he had won a jackpot.
"Seven!"
Kushina's voice was trembling with extreme excitement, but it was definitely a trembling of joy, a trembling full of pride and relief.
"As expected of Naruto!"
She blurted out, with pride written all over her face, "My son is awesome."
Immediately afterwards, a thought that made Minato even more dizzy flashed through her mind, making the light in her eyes even brighter: Uzumaki Clan is expected to be revitalized!
"Great, Naruto! Mother is so happy for you!" Kushina slammed the table and stood up. The loud sound made the petrified Minato tremble.
She completely ignored the obstacles of the dining table, walked directly around the table, and with lightning speed, hugged Naruto who was sitting opposite... Guang and Karin beside her.
Naruto being squeezed away:?
"It's great. I've long wanted Hikari-chan and Karin-chan to be my daughters, as well as my daughter-in-law."
