In Watergate's courtyard, the golden-haired boy was learning how to walk.
Shinna Kushina carefully followed behind Naruto.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Watergate appeared in front of the courtyard's main entrance.
Shinna Kushina immediately glanced at him and chuckled. "You're back. Looks like you weren't very busy today."
Naruto turned around when he heard that. Watergate was already standing in front of him.
Naruto raised his bright sapphire-like eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile. He opened his hands excitedly, and his mouth was still a little shaky with joy. "Dad … Dad!"
"I'm back."
Watergate smiled and squatted down to hug Naruto.
He placed his hand on Naruto's stomach and withdrew it after a while.
The seal in Naruto's body was quite stable. As he grew older, the seal's power weakened. However, Watergate did not repair it.
This was because this was the result he wanted to see. Through the Eight Trigrams Seal, the Nine Tails' Chakra was subtly integrated into Naruto's body.
Therefore, although he had not truly condensed Chakra in his body, he had inherited Shinna Kushina's bloodline. His physique was much stronger than children of the same age.
Ordinary children could only successfully condense Chakra when their meridian system was strengthened to a certain extent when they were about three years old.
However, Naruto, who was only one year old, had already reached this level.
Watergate still remembered that he had seen Kakashi try to cultivate when he was his age.
Part of the reason was, of course, the influence of Sho Sho and Watanabe.
However, Watergate and Shinna Kushina did not deliberately guide him and let nature take its course.
"I'll be responsible for tonight's dinner."
After hugging Naruto for a while, Watergate put Naruto down and turned to Shinna Kushina and said.
"Okay."
Shinna Kushina looked at Naruto and immediately agreed.
For some reason, Shinna Kushina's cooking was much better than Watergate's, but Naruto liked his father's cooking more.
"One more thing, I have already filed the matter of you being promoted to Jonin."
"If you want to carry out a mission, I can give you a mission immediately."
Watergate Looked at Shinna Kushina Translations, Shinna Kushina Translation. Naruto is now more than one year old.. for this child. Shinna Kushina Shinna Kushina.
But these days' Shinna Kushina Kushina To Do it. to Naruto to to to Naruto.
"Well, to be honest, I really feel a little bored. I haven't been out of the village for a long time."
Shinna Kushina said. In fact, since Watergate became a Jonin five or six years ago, she had almost no opportunity to go out of the village to carry out missions.
Because before she carried out missions, she had to be protected by Watergate Kushina.
"Naruto, tomorrow mom will send you to Aunt Mikoto's house to play with Sasuke, okay?"
Shinna Kushina squatted down and looked at Naruto.
When she mentioned Sasuke, Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up, but the next moment, he seemed to lose all his strength, his arms drooped, and his face looked depressed.
Because the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke has always been like that.
Watergate Kushina and Shinna Kushina saw this and both of their mouths twitched.
The former recovered and said to the latter: "Then you will go out with Kakashi tomorrow, but he will be the captain."
In the two years since Kakashi became a Jonin, every mission he carried out was quite perfect.
Now, at the age of fourteen, he has become an elite Jonin in the village.
Similarly, in the Anbu … Waterstop is also doing well. His quality has long surpassed the general Anbu.
Recently, Uchiha Yan wanted him to be the captain of the Anbu, but Waterstop is younger than Kakashi, so it can only be temporarily put aside.
"I know."
Although Shinna Kushina's time on missions is not as long as the other ninjas of the same age, the number of missions she has carried out is actually not small.
So she is very clear about Watergate's arrangement. She has never been the captain, so she can't take the position of captain for the time being.
However, this matter really doesn't matter to Shinna Kushina, she won't care at all, even if Kakashi is Watergate's student.
...
The next day, early morning.
Kushina got up even earlier than Minato. She put on her ninja outfit, which she hadn't worn for a long time.
Her long red hair was tied into a single ponytail.
After breakfast, Watergate directly took Shinna Kushina and Naruto and left.
"Sorry to trouble you again." Shinna Kushina looked at Mikoto and said.
"What are you talking about, I haven't seen Naruto for a long time, I also miss him."
Mikoto walked in front of Naruto, squatted down, and rubbed his hair.
"Naruto's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, even brighter than yours and Watergate's."
Seeing Mikoto, Naruto showed a happy smile.
His personality is the same as Shinna Kushina, the way he expresses his emotions is very direct, whether it's happiness, anger, sadness, or joy, it's all written on his face.
But now Naruto just learned how to speak, he can only call mom and dad.
"Itachi, Sasuke, good morning."
At this time, Sasuke who just woke up was led out by Itachi from the room behind Mikoto.
"Good morning, Uncle Watergate, Aunt Shinna Kushina."
Itachi said politely. At this time, Sasuke, who was behind him, nodded politely to the two of them.
"Up so early to train."
When Minato entered Mikoto House's courtyard, he already heard the sounds of someone cultivating.
Since Itachi entered the ninja school more than a year ago, his grades have always been the first without any doubt.
Some young ninja teachers even evaluated him as a unique genius since the establishment of the ninja school.
Although this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows how strong Itachi's talent is.
Watergate paid special attention to him, with Itachi's current level, he has reached the level where he can graduate and become a Genin.
It's just that now is a peaceful time, and becoming a ninja too early may not be a good thing.
Just like some flaws in Kakashi's personality, it's because he became a ninja too early.
Itachi nodded, then also observed Naruto, and said with a gentle smile: "Naruto also came …"
"I can't stay here for too long, Naruto will be in your care." Watergate looked at Mikoto.
"Don't worry."
Mikoto chuckled, Watergate and Shinna Kushina both said a few words to Naruto and left in a flash.
In Naruto's office, when Kakashi learned that Shinna Kushina was a member of his team, his usually indifferent expression slightly changed.
"Captain Kakashi, please take care of me!"
Shinna Kushina walked to Kakashi's side and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Yeah …"
Kakashi responded, then looked at Watergate.
Minato nodded at him with a serious expression.
"I wish you all the best in your mission." Minato smiled.
"Let's go!"
Kakashi and several Wood Leaf ninjas behind him nodded to Naruto.
Shinna Kushina glanced at Watergate, then followed Kakashi and the other team members and left Naruto's office.
"Next, I'll leave it to you."
After Shinna Kushina left, Watergate stood in place and whispered.
"Yeah."
Outside the window, a figure suddenly appeared.
It was Uchiha Yan.
The masked man and others once wanted to destroy Wood Leaf, and Shinna Kushina was likely to be targeted by them after leaving the village.
However, Watergate didn't expect them to do anything to Shinna Kushina for the time being, because more than a year ago, they failed to attack Wood Leaf.
For more than a year, Wood Leaf didn't notice any news about the masked man and others.
Although the possibility of Shinna Kushina being in danger wasn't high, Watergate had to be on guard.
In fact, the safest way was, of course, for Shinna Kushina to stay in the village.
But although she was a Jinchuriki, she should have freedom, and the village can't be turned into a prison for her whole life.
