Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Orochimaru: "Heh heh, the show's about to begin."

Everyone is puzzled.

However, they all realized that Orochimaru's statement contained a lot of hidden information.

In the Pure Land, Kushina instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Physical therapy heals...

Could it be?!

Kushina's pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside the guesthouse, Xianglin acted like a child who had made a mistake, silently lowering her head.

Kushina Uzumaki: "Karin, are you there?"

Kushina Uzumaki: "Don't worry, Auntie and Naruto will help you. This isn't your fault."

Kushina Uzumaki: "From now on, your aunt and Naruto will be your support... Your mother's name is Mina Uzumaki, right?"

Uzumaki Kushina: "..."

Kushina said a lot.

I've been trying to comfort Xianglin.

Clearly, Kushina knew what kind of treatment she would receive if she awakened her physical healing abilities but was not in the Land of Whirlpools... or even after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed.

Two extremes.

Seeing Xianglin's appearance on the large screen with its black border.

Kushina knew which situation it was.

He was both angry and resentful.

Kusagakure Village?

Kushina remembered.

The short-sighted ninja village will be wiped out once it's over.

With Kushina's patient comfort and guidance, something missing in Karin's heart is slowly being filled.

Inside the arena, a cold glint flashed in Naruto's eyes.

He's not stupid, but most of the time he's unwilling to think proactively, or rather... everything in the past has told him that he doesn't need to think, and shouldn't think.

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:

"I...I'm alone...I got separated from my companions, that's why..."

[Xiang Lin said in a low voice.]

It felt like I had done something wrong.

"It's okay," Naruto said softly, trying to comfort him.

"No one will abandon you again. Come home with me."

Xianglin thought she had misheard.

Muster your courage and look up.

[That familiar smile.]

So gentle...

In Xianglin's world, apart from her deceased mother, no one had ever been so kind to her.

She... perhaps can't even be called a person; she was raised like a tool.

Perhaps, after returning this time, she will have to take over her mother's previous job.

Thinking of this, Karin unconsciously slowed her pace, wanting to spend more time with Naruto.

But once she took a step, she didn't dare to be too obvious, afraid of angering Naruto.

[And so it went, I remained conflicted.]

This scene inexplicably pained Naruto.

They simply stopped in their tracks.

Xiang Lin didn't react for a moment, stumbled, and almost fell.

Very weak.

[I'm really weak.]

To the average person, Xianglin's current state might seem even more formidable than their peak performance.

However, in Naruto's view, possessing the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and having awakened the power within that bloodline—physical healing—is crucial.

Xiang Lin was absolutely extremely weak at this moment.

"W-What's wrong?"

[Xiang Lin asked hurriedly.]

[He thought he had upset Naruto.]

[In just a moment, Xianglin's eyes reddened.]

Naruto paused, stunned.

[I'm living such a humble life.]

Naruto pulled the poor girl into his arms and said softly:

"There's no need to be so careful anymore."

"From now on, we're family."

"Come home with me."

This time, Xianglin heard it very clearly.

[Because Naruto whispered it in her ear.]

[But I still find it unbelievable.]

Her petite frame stiffened slightly, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to respond.

Naruto didn't force her; he simply held her tightly in his arms.

Inside the guesthouse, Xianglin's eyes also reddened.

This moment.

She admitted that she was jealous.

I'm jealous of myself in the black-framed world.

then.

The voice from the chat room rang in my ears again.

It's Kushina's voice.

After a moment of confusion, Xianglin could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

"Waaaaah..."

Even the coldest ice would melt slowly in Naruto's warm embrace, let alone this poor girl.

Xianglin's petite body gradually softened.

She hugged Naruto tightly, as if afraid the handsome boy before her would disappear, and also afraid... this dream would end too soon.

At this distance, Naruto could perceive the girl's feelings even more clearly.

He remained gentle, but a fierce fire burned within him.

[It's been a long time... Naruto hasn't been this angry in a long time.]

He is not a god, nor has he ever claimed to be comparable to one.

He is human!

Humans, by nature, have seven emotions and six desires!

【Kusagakure Village?】

[It no longer needs to exist.]

Leave no one alive!

Also, tell the entire ninja world that Uzumaki has returned!

He gently stroked the girl's trembling back.

He let the girl cry in his arms.

At this moment, no comfort is needed, and no words are required.

Let her vent her frustrations to the fullest.

All Naruto needs to do is be her support.

Naruto had a lot of patience with these clansmen he had finally found.

And... this is also a good thing.

At least within the vortex of revival, one vortex has emerged with an exceptionally pure bloodline.

Of course, as I said before, Naruto won't force anyone if they don't want to.

However, judging from the current situation... it's highly unlikely that there will be any objections.

【a long time.】

The girl's sobs in his arms gradually subsided.

Naruto didn't urge him.

After waiting for a while, Naruto finally felt a distinct movement in his arms.

"Would you like to come home with me?"

"It's okay if you don't want to, I'll find you someone who's good enough..."

【"willing!"】

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Karin quickly raised her head and said decisively.

After saying this, Xianglin seemed to realize something, and her pretty face immediately flushed.

[Combined with that little red nose from crying, it looked absolutely adorable.]

【"good."】

Naruto gently stroked her little head.

It feels good to hold.

"Well... I've lost some weight now, but considering I've maintained such strong vitality, it's already quite impressive."

It will get better with time.

【"Hmm~"】

[Kirin didn't know how to answer, so she let out a soft moan and buried her face in Naruto's arms again.]

After a moment, Naruto asked softly, "Are you done?"

"Alright, we should go now. I imagine Sasuke and Sakura have already hunted their prey."

Are you hungry?

Xiang Lin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she simply bit her pink lips and nodded.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, she stepped back, leaving that gentle embrace.

"Alright, let's go." Naruto smiled, then took the girl's anxious little hand.

"Oh my, what a sweetheart!" The giant fox smirked inside the sealed space.

"That's right, after all, he's my son. My son is so outstanding, big fox, do you have any objections?"

[Kushina's voice suddenly rang out.]

[The Big Fox: "......"]
