Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

There is nothing in this world that I do not know.

"By the way, here's a piece of advice: you're about to face a crisis."

With one hand supporting her chin, Mianma quietly felt the changes in her body.

The voices of Naruto and the Six Paths Elder echoed in my mind.

Mianma said coldly, "You're not referring to the Book of Vermilion Moon, are you?"

"The enemy has taken action." The echo of Six Paths and Naruto's voices rang out again.

"I see... No need to worry about it. Once the hearts fuse, everything will be fine."

"The advantage lies with me."

......

at the same time.

The border of the Land of Grass.

Might Guy and Kakashi sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed.

"Actually... I also want to take a break, after all, I'm no longer young," Might Guy said dejectedly.

Minato nodded slightly. "Kakashi, use your Sharingan to survey the surroundings first."

Kakashi closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Minato-sensei."

"I overworked myself, which led to overuse of my Sharingan."

"Hmm...where's the dried bamboo shoot?" Kushina suddenly asked.

Only then did everyone realize that Naruto was gone.

Below, Naruto strolled leisurely across the grassland, yet his speed was frighteningly fast.

boom--

At that moment, smoke billowed up in front of us.

The three toad brothers appeared.

They blocked Naruto's way.

Kushina and the others quickly chased after them.

Might Guy, looking utterly helpless, supported Kakashi from behind.

"Dried bamboo shoots, you child... really!"

At that moment, countless small toads appeared in the sky.

A little toad fell from the sky and came to Naruto.

Naruto glanced at it and said, "So eager to send me these skewers?"

"Shut up!" Gamabunta drew his ninja sword from behind him.

It opened its big mouth, about to spit out toad oil.

hum-

The next instant, a powerful repulsive field appeared.

"Let's finish this mission as soon as possible."

Naruto watched as the toads flew backward and crashed all over the mountainside.

Tsunade, the little pushover, kept nagging him about this mission all night.

So he decided to go out for a walk as well.

"I used to think this world only consisted of Konoha... but now it seems to be a complete ninja world."

"Hmph, the old man of the Six Paths has quite a few backup plans."

"Dried bamboo shoots!" The group's eyes widened.

He stared at everything before him in disbelief.

Naruto blew all those toads from Mount Myōboku away in a single encounter?

Kushina rushed forward to check on Naruto and found that he was not injured.

A powerful, loving punch landed.

boom--

It was very loud; it was a good start.

"Is it the rebellious phase?!"

"Why are you so disobedient?"

"Want to defy your mother? You're a hundred years too early!"

After saying that, Kushina affectionately patted Naruto's head again.

"Does it hurt?"

"I'm sorry, Mom shouldn't have hit you."

Shuimen stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Alright, Kushina, didn't we just agree yesterday not to interfere with this kid's decisions?"

"But... what we just did was really too dangerous!" Kushina protested.

Naruto didn't seem to notice anything, and grabbed Kushina's hand that was stroking his head.

Looking down, Kushina's fists were red.

It wasn't that she used a lot of force.

Instead, it was countered by the force.

"Sorry, dried bamboo shoots..."

"It's alright, let's go, the Book of Zhu Yue is inside."

"Huh?" Kushina blinked, and Minato was also confused.

In the blink of an eye, Kushina's swollen fist was completely healed.

This was the first time I'd gone on a mission with Minato and Kushina.

No, they are two incomplete Class 7s.

Minato and Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura.

Hmm... I don't know what Erzhuzi is doing today, he's not going on any missions.

Might Guy and Kakashi exchanged a glance.

Then Kakashi's head lolled to the side, and he temporarily lost consciousness again.

Matt Kai sighed and had no choice but to continue helping him walk forward.

Sakura's presence is somewhat minimal.

The group quickly entered the dense forest and arrived at the shrine (kan) where the Book of Crimson Moon was sealed.

Minato squinted and crouched down.

"It is a composite technique that combines space-time ninjutsu and barrier array."

"Only Jiraiya-sensei and I can solve it."

As he spoke, Minato raised his hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together and pointing at the shrine.

Her long, golden hair rose without any wind.

hum-

An invisible wave surged forth.

It spread outwards like a harmless shockwave.

"untie!"

call out--

The next instant, all the unconscious toads of Mount Myōboku disappeared.

At the same time, after the seal was broken, the shrine was opened.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have retrieved the Book of Crimson Moon."

Then, Might Guy turned around and carried Kakashi back.

Minato and Kushina exchanged a glance and both burst out laughing.

"Dried bamboo shoots, how did you do that just now?"

"I don't know. I just don't want the toads to get close to me, so that power just naturally arises."

Kushina and Minato naturally didn't believe it.

But Naruto was telling the truth.

"Alright, it's time to go back, or Tsunade will worry about us."

As she spoke, Kushina stretched.

Then he put his arm around Naruto's shoulder.

"Dried bamboo shoots, tell Mom honestly, how many have you got?"

Naruto blinked. "How many?"

"Honestly, you're such a dishonest kid!"

"Tsunade isn't acting right today... I need to hurry back and cook a good meal tonight~"

"Water gate, dried bamboo shoots!"

"Here!" Minato stood at attention with a smile.

Naruto, not wanting to spoil the fun, did exactly the same thing as Minato.

"Target! Konoha—Let's go!"

"Yes!" x2

Matt Kai watched as the family of three overtook him in the blink of an eye, and closed his eyes in anguish.

"Kaka, are you done yet?"

"Of course! I'll just..." Kakashi didn't finish his sentence before his head lolled to the side and he fainted again.

afternoon.

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade adjusted her glasses and looked at the group.

"Now Jiraiya can rest easy."

Kakashi, who had recovered somewhat, quickly said:

"In that case!"

"Then dispatch a punitive force immediately!"

"That hateful masked man!"

Tsunade glanced down at the Book of Crimson Moon in the box.

"No, we need to wait for the right opportunity."

"The prophecy has a sequel. To open this Book of the Crimson Moon, we must wait until the moon is dyed crimson. Until then, I will keep it safe."

"You should go back and rest first."

"Yes!" x2

After Kakashi and Might Guy left.

Tsunade, who had just been incredibly serious and submissive, raised her head.

He glanced at Naruto, then lowered his head again.

"What are you doing staying here if you're not leaving?"

Naruto sat down at the table again, just as he had seen her for the first time.

He reached out and lifted her smooth chin.

"Of course, I'll take you home."

"This Book of Crimson Moon is not anything important."

"But he was indeed somewhat of a threat to that masked man."

"I'm worried you'll be in danger if you're alone."

This time, the little pushover didn't fight back.

She just turned her head away.

With a hint of resentment in her voice, she said, "Going home with you is the most dangerous thing."

Naruto gently took her hand.

"Ouch...that hurts!"

The little bully glared at him.

Naruto put his arm around her.

"Come on, Mom's making you some soup."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's face visibly flushed.

She leaned against him weakly, "How dare you! I'm the Fifth Hokage!"

You're right.

As he spoke, Naruto helped Tsunade put on the Fifth Hokage's hat.

Tsunade: "..."

Shortly after, Naruto arrived at the eldest sister's room.

"Dried bamboo shoots~"

Hinata called out softly.

"Did the kitten sleep all day?"

Hinata pouted, "Teacher Sunqian is physically punishing students in class."

"Will you come home with me?"

"Hmm~"

......

He spends every day lying on his bed, flipping through brochures introducing ninja tools.

"go home."

"Dried bamboo shoots~!"

Every day, she turned around with a look of surprise.

Naruto was taken aback, then helplessly helped her put on her clothes.

"Thank you~"

Smack—

Kushina and Minato stood at the kitchen doorway, secretly watching the three women appear.

Kushina clenched her little fist. "Minato, don't stop me next time I see Sasuke!"

Minato chuckled helplessly, "Weren't you quite happy?"

"One thing at a time!"

"Hmph~"

"Alright, didn't we say we were going to make soup today?" Minato patted her shoulder.

Kushina glanced at the refrigerator.

"Minato, I want to get a bigger table and refrigerator."

"Alright." Minato nodded slightly. "It really is time to get a bigger one."

Naruto went out again.

There's a high probability of melon seeds appearing tonight.

In other words, the heart has fused completely.

It's time to recycle it.

In addition, give Nine-Tailed Fox a boost.

After Menma and his heart perish, he still has the Fishman Island to go to.

In addition, the three women had just fought yesterday and needed to rest and recuperate for a while.

"Dried bamboo shoots? What brings you here?"

In the flower shop, Ino, who was arranging flowers, exclaimed in surprise.

"I missed you, so I came."

Upon hearing this, Ino pursed her lips, her pretty face flushing.

Is it that straightforward?

But... Hinata will be angry if she finds out.

Naruto glanced at the flower shop.

Pick up a jasmine flower.

He came to Ino's side.

"The debt is from nine... we'll leave it at that for now."

Naruto smiled and placed the jasmine flower in her hand.

The meaning of jasmine flowers: You are mine.

For Naruto, it means—even if it's a limited Tsukuyomi, you are still mine.

Ino could not possibly be unaware of the meaning of jasmine flowers.

Ino's pretty face flushed almost imperceptibly, but she quickly regained her composure and said gently:

"Thank you~"

Naruto enjoyed watching this girl try to appear calm while her heart was actually in turmoil.

Naruto gently ruffled her hair.

"Will you come home with me?"

Unlike yesterday, this was said to her alone.

This guy, as if possessing magic, struck directly at Ino's soul.

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Naruto's gentle smiling face.

My heart was pounding.

She gently pursed her pink lips.

Those darn dried bamboo shoots... he's got them wrapped around his little finger!

"Yo~"

"Young people are so bold!"

Rino Yamanaka arrived at some point, watched for a while, and then made a teasing remark.

"Mommy~!"

Ino covered her face and let out a coquettish sigh.

"Aunt Liye."

Rino Yamanaka waved her hand, "Let's go, or that girl will start nagging me again."

......

"I'm back."

Push open the door.

"Dried bamboo shoots~ where have you been again?"

The eldest sister cast her gaze over from the sofa.

Even if they wanted to be tough, they couldn't be tough anymore.

"Hmph! None of them are as strong as me anyway, just a bunch of ants. The position of the queen is definitely mine!"

Then, a small head peeked out from the kitchen.

Kushina blinked.

Turning to Minato, she whispered, "Minato, this kid, Sunqian... is much stronger than Sasuke."

"Oh, right, I'll make him some soup later too~"

at the same time.

Outside Konoha Village.

"The Book of Zhu Yue?"

"hehe."

As soon as Mianma finished speaking.

Nine masked, animal-like figures appeared beside him.

Nine-faced Suvaha!

Its codename is the same as that of the Akatsuki organization.

Green, white, vermilion, black, empty, south, north, three, jade.

shhhhh--

"Then, let's present a congratulatory gift first."

Great Spiral Wheel!
