"By the way, Naruto, do you want to learn with me?"
Naruto waved a hand.
"I'd rather learn Sage Mode right now. I think my Sealing Jutsu is already good enough."
"I see..."
Kushina sighed softly, then perked up again, her tone turning serious.
"Speaking of Sage Mode, your dad learned it from Master Jiraiya back then. You need to be careful when you learn Senjutsu from him, Naruto!"
"And... don't pick up any of his bad habits! Uh..."
She leaned closer and lowered her voice, speaking quickly with a mixture of embarrassment and anticipation. "Well... picking up a few... hmm, might not be entirely out of the question? You're growing up, after all... and Mom would kind of like to hold a grandchild..."
Watching Naruto every day, Kushina couldn't help feeling anxious for him.
She could see how all those girls felt, yet Naruto hadn't even managed to hold hands with a single one.
Sometimes Kushina couldn't understand kids these days. Plenty of people had been dating when she was twelve or thirteen!
Naruto pressed a hand to his forehead.
I'm only thirteen this year. Kushina will have to wait another ten or twenty years for grandchildren!
Previously, Naruto had wanted to grow stronger to face the crises ahead.
After the Konoha Crush Plan...
Naruto realized that, given his current strength, if he mastered Sage Mode in the future, he couldn't imagine how Urashiki Otsutsuki would survive.
If Urashiki died in the future, Boruto and Sasuke probably wouldn't come here, either.
With both the strength and knowledge of his opponents at his disposal, if his future self still couldn't beat Urashiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki...
Then he might as well follow Brother Hu's example, put himself in a sack, and use "Abandon Body Source Flow" to join Qu Yuan
