Chapter 327 Naruto's Return

"Finally fell asleep..."

Kakashi rejected Tsunade's suggestion and did not seal Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan, but instead adopted a gentler approach.

To replenish Hikaru Uchiha's lost eye power, Kakashi transferred his own power to Hikaru Uchiha.

Later, Kakashi discovered the reason why the baby Uchiha Hikaru had been crying and restless.

It's because she was born with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Hikari's senses are more acute than other babies, and she is more prone to anxiety. When she feels anxious, she will instinctively activate the eye techniques of her two Mangekyou Sharingan. Activating the eye techniques will draw away her own chakra, which will further aggravate her anxiety.

How much chakra can a newborn baby have?
If the burden becomes too heavy, Uchiha Hikaru will die from chakra depletion.

It seems like they're caught in an inescapable cycle, but thankfully there's Kakashi.

Having identified the root of the problem, Kakashi immediately discussed and devised a very comprehensive solution with Tsunade.

As dawn broke, Uchiha Hikaru fell asleep peacefully, while Kakashi, exhausted, leaned against the wall to rest.

His body didn't feel tired, but Kakashi was mentally exhausted.

Kakashi had very little experience caring for infants, and Uchiha Hikaru had only been born a few hours earlier. Kakashi held Uchiha Hikaru as if she were the most fragile treasure in the world, his carefulness almost unbearable for Tsunade to watch.

"Everything's alright now, Kakashi, go and rest. You can leave Uchiha Hikaru to me without worry," Tsunade said to Kakashi.

Kakashi glanced at Tsunade's imposing chest, nodded, and handed Uchiha Hikaru into Tsunade's arms.

……

Naruto Uzumaki walked into the gates of Konoha with immense excitement.

He had been away from Konoha for three years, and now that his training was over, he was finally able to return to Konoha for a visit.

Naruto felt a little regretful that he had to return alone. Jiraiya said that he still had some things to investigate and did not return to Konoha with Naruto.

Naruto has grown taller and his appearance has changed, but his golden hair and the whisker pattern on his cheeks still instantly remind the villagers of Konoha of Naruto, the demon fox.

Naruto was having a good time, running around on the rooftops of Konoha buildings, and finally stopped on a water tank.

"I'm back------!!!"

Naruto shouted across the entire Hidden Leaf Village, feeling incredibly exhilarated.

"Next, I should go and report to Granny Tsunade, hehe."

Naruto jumped off the water tank and strode toward the Hokage Building.

On his way to the Hokage's office, Naruto saw several Anbu members carrying baby supplies: cribs, baby formula, diapers, toys, and all sorts of other things.

Naruto was very confused until he walked into the Hokage's office, which was open, and was dumbfounded.

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, was holding a baby and feeding it with a bottle. Several Anbu members had prepared a cozy nursery-like space in the Hokage's office, using the baby supplies that Naruto had seen on his way there.

"Oh, Naruto, you're back." Tsunade only glanced at Naruto, her attention entirely focused on Uchiha Hikaru in her arms.

"Tsunade, Granny Tsunade...you're having a child?"

Naruto was surprised, hesitant, and yet he gained a completely new understanding of why Jiraiya-sensei didn't return to Konoha with him.

So this is ah.

Naruto nodded to himself, confirming his belief that "this is the truth."

"Naruto, you seem to be thinking about something bad?" Tsunade said to Naruto.

"No, no? Haha, Granny Tsunade, whose child is this?" Naruto cautiously asked first, without revealing what he had imagined.

“This is Sasuke’s niece,” Tsunade replied.

"Oh, so it's Sasuke's child..."

"Huh? Sasuke's!?"

"Does Sasuke already have children?"

Tsunade really wanted to punch Naruto on the head, but she forcibly suppressed her anger because she was still holding Uchiha Hikaru.

What exactly is that thing between Naruto's two ears? Does he not have ears or a brain?
"Naruto, are you listening properly? This is Sasuke's niece. Sasuke is now an uncle."

“…Oh.” “So it’s your niece.”

"You scared me."

"niece?"

"Where did it come from?"

Naruto looked blankly at him.

"He's Sasuke's brother's child." Tsunade was almost in despair about Naruto.

"Ask Kakashi if you have any questions," Tsunade said, sending Naruto to Kakashi.

"Oh, where is Kakashi-sensei? And Sasuke too."

"Kakashi is sleeping in the rest room. As for Sasuke, go to his house and find him."

"Grandma Tsunade, do you have any missions assigned to me?" Naruto asked.

"Your task now is to find Kakashi!"

"I see!!"

Naruto jogged out of the Hokage's office.

While Naruto and Tsunade were talking, the baby Uchiha Hikaru, who was still nursing, kept his eyes fixed on Naruto.

Naruto found Kakashi resting with his eyes closed on a bench in the lounge on the first floor of the Hokage Building.

Upon seeing Kakashi-sensei, whom he hadn't seen for three years, Naruto immediately had a mischievous idea.

How can I play a trick on Kakashi-sensei?
Naruto quietly walked towards Kakashi.

Unexpectedly, Kakashi opened his eyes and stood up to look at Naruto as soon as he got to the side.

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, good morning~!" Naruto raised his hand in greeting.

"Naruto... what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I forgot, today is the day you return to the village." Kakashi sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"What happened, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Ha..." Kakashi sighed.

"I just went to see Granny Tsunade," Naruto said.

"And then?" Kakashi asked Naruto.

"Sasuke's little niece is so cute~! So cute~!" Naruto grinned foolishly.

"Naruto, haven't you thought about what this means?" Kakashi asked.

“It means…” Naruto’s mind raced.

"Sasuke's brother has returned with his wife and children?" Naruto asked tentatively.

"Don't speak carelessly when you see Sasuke in the future," Kakashi reminded Naruto.

"why?"

"Be careful you don't get killed by Sasuke," Kakashi said.

"Hmm..." Naruto Uzumaki looked unhappy.

“Kakashi-sensei, you can’t imagine how arduous my training has been over the past three years. I’m completely different now, and I’m no weaker than Sasuke now,” Naruto said.

"Do you really think so?" Kakashi stood up from the bench.

"It's almost noon, let's buy some groceries and go to Sasuke's house," Kakashi suggested.

"Should we call Sakura? It's been three years since we last saw each other," Naruto said.

"Sakura works at Konoha Hospital and is very busy every day. Let's wait until she gets off work this afternoon."
