Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 232 A Problem Caused by a False Alarm

For You Ya, many parts of life hold great significance for him.

Especially the first time.

First time going to school, first time learning ninjutsu, first time singing with his martial arts uncle, first time going to a gambling den to bail out his master, first time getting married, first time becoming a father...

Each first-time experience allowed Yuya to settle down in this ninja world, the manga world of his memories, and truly change the original course of events, completely integrating him into this world.

Therefore, each first time is very important for Yuya.

And today, he experienced a new first...

What should I do if my son fails his math test for the first time?

Yuki is 11 years old this year. After entering the Ninja Academy last year, her grades have plummeted this year.

Okay, that's not quite right, but last year's math score was at least 80, and I've been hovering between 75 and 80 points.

As a result, this year his score dropped directly to below 60.

Looking at the report card in his hand, You Ya sighed helplessly.

Although everyone in Konoha knew that math was Yua's most valued subject, Yua couldn't possibly expect his son to consistently achieve excellent grades...

So, You Ya decided to rephrase the question: "Where do you rank in your class?"

Seeing that his father's face did not show any danger, Youji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly said, "Number 21, there are still dozens of people behind me."

You Ya nodded; it was exactly what he had expected. This result was about the right level.

after all……

It's perfectly normal for half the students in the class to fail.

So Yuya took the travelogue scroll to her bedroom.

Then, the travelogue heard a loud roar from inside the bedroom.

The travelogue was huddled on the sofa, shivering.

Just then, You Lu, who had also just returned from school, opened the door.

"I'm back." Nine-year-old You Lu changed into her indoor slippers at the door. When she saw her older brother sitting on the sofa shivering, You Lu revealed a sinister smile.

"Oh my dear brother, what's with that expression? Oh, I just remembered, your midterm exam results came out today! How many points did you get? Was it...?"

"Travelogue! Get in here!"

Tsunade's roar interrupted Yuru's teasing of her brother.

Youji didn't even have time to express his anger to his sister; he suddenly realized that his first instinct was to run away.

As a result, You Lu lifted him into the air with one hand, his legs flailing about.

"Put me down right now, you violent woman!" Youji glared angrily at Youlu.

Yu Lu pretended not to hear and walked towards Tsunade's bedroom with her travelogue.

"Wait, wait, wait! Okay, okay, little sister, I was wrong, I was wrong! Half! Half of your allowance! Please let me off the hook this time!"

You Lu chuckled, then let go of You Ji's hand. You Ji, as if granted a pardon, ran to the door, changed his shoes, and called out, "I'm going to stay at Grandpa's for two days! I'll be back afterwards!"

"Travelogue!"

Yuuki ignored Tsunade's roar, chuckled, then composed herself and walked into her parents' bedroom with a timid expression.

Upon entering, one sees Yua calming down the enraged Tsunade.

You Lu then softly said, "Mom, my exam results are out too."

Tsunade then looked at Yuru, who took out a report card from her pocket.

Seeing the striking 90 in math on her report card, Tsunade's anger gradually subsided. Looking at her daughter, she asked happily, "Lulu, what do you want to eat today? Mom will make it for you."

You Lu said shyly, "I like everything my mom makes."

Looking at his daughter's expression, You Ya felt a strange sensation.

As the Hokage, he naturally knew about what Yuru did at the school.

It's fair to say that, aside from not bullying students, Yuuki has already unified the elementary school run by the Sarutobi clan...

With a large following of underlings, she can be described as a troublemaker. Sometimes when Sarutobi Elementary School and Hyuga Elementary School have conflicts, Yuru will lead her students to fight them, causing headaches for the teachers.

Of course, Yuya was also helpless about this. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but firstly, the job of Hokage was more important and he was busier, and secondly...

You Lu's attack was not without its limits; it was just that the bruises and swelling made it look serious, but if you went for a medical examination, it wouldn't even qualify as a minor injury.

One can only say that he has truly mastered Tsunade's skills.

Seeing this heartwarming scene between the mother and daughter, Yuya thought for a moment and decided it was best not to tell Tsunade Yu Lu's true identity.

To avoid Tsunade's blood pressure soaring.

Tsunade was in a good mood and didn't hold a grudge against Yuki for fleeing to her parents' house.

In fact, since Nawaki also joined Konoha as a Chunin, Tsunade's parents have been feeling rather lonely.

The travelogue notes that going to my parents' home to escape the disaster also provided a chance to spend time with them.

That evening, the family of three enjoyed a pleasant meal together. After dinner, they sat on the sofa watching TV while Tsunade asked Yuru about her school life and her plans for next year.

Yuru is 9 years old this year and will be 10 next year, which is the age to go to the ninja academy.

Yuya had always wanted to postpone the entry requirements for the Ninja Academy.

His initial idea was to postpone the age of ninjas to twelve, ideally fifteen, as the three most important years for a ninja are from fifteen to eighteen.

However, it is precisely because of this that the current Konoha Village cannot do it.

After all, if one wants to follow the elite route of entering school at age 15, then some less talented ninjas will inevitably be eliminated.

Because Konoha doesn't have that many ninja instructors, not that many people to teach ninjas.

This has nothing to do with population. Even if the population increases and there are more ninjas of the right age, there will still be a significant shortage of teachers.

There was no other way but to adopt the universal suffrage mechanism.

That is, from the age of 10 to 12, they go to the ninja academy to lay the foundation, and after graduation, they spend one or two years as genin, guided by a jonin who teaches them how to do missions, what the procedures are, and points out the future path on the ninja's journey.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze are examples of this. After Fugaku Uchiha taught them, they passed the genin exams and became chunin.

Now, Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and Yoshino Nara are all members of the Chunin Team. Their most common tasks are working in various factories, helping out, or patrolling the village.

Only those who reach the Jonin level will be assigned patrol missions or missions outside the village.

Chunin are generally among the busiest ninjas, but they are also the most numerous.

Yu-Lu is looking forward to going to the Ninja Academy next year.

In fact, like Yuuki, she was very interested in ninjutsu, but Yua was too busy and her two children had to go to school, so she didn't have much time.

Tsunade can't teach many ninjutsu.

Most of her ninjutsu are medical ninjutsu; she has no interest in travel or roaming.

If you really want to know what they're most interested in, it's those flashy and powerful ninjutsu.

For example, the Susanoo that made Fugaku Uchiha famous in one battle a few days ago.

Although all of Yua's scenes were cut from the filming, Fugaku Uchiha's enormous chakra giant couldn't be cut. So, Yua simply pushed Fugaku Uchiha to the forefront, indicating that the Uchiha clansman controlled by Black Zetsu was defeated by Fugaku Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha could only swallow this wave of attention with a heavy heart.

He can't really clarify things, can he?

Therefore, for Yuki and Yuru, the ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan that they saw on TV a few days ago, which can create a giant using chakra, was the coolest.

Of course, Yuki and Yuru also wanted to learn their father's ninjutsu, which they greatly envied for its ability to control gold at will.

Unfortunately, neither of them inherited Yua's "bloodline limit".

Tsunade also expressed her regret, saying that although she knew it was difficult to inherit a bloodline limit, she still wanted to try.

They are currently trying to have a third child with Yuya.

The main issue is that this alternate account, which I use for travelogues, is indeed starting to show signs of becoming a waste.

Just as Tsunade and Yuya were chatting casually, the doorbell rang at Yuya's house.

Yuya raised an eyebrow, and just as he was about to get up, Tsunade stood up beside him: "I'll go open the door."

Then, when she reached the door and opened it, she frowned immediately upon seeing the female ANBU ninja wearing a fox mask in front of her: "What is it?"

Wearing a mask, Uchiha Yu spoke in a deep voice: "Breaking news: the ninja army of Kumogakure has begun to assemble at the border."

Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply, then she nodded, turned back and patted Yua on the shoulder: "You've got a lot on your plate."

You Ya looked completely bewildered, but after hearing the news at the door, his expression immediately turned serious: "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Yuya walked back and saw Tsunade already carrying a package as she came out of the bedroom.

"I've prepared a change of clothes for you, come back soon."

Yuya nodded, gave Tsunade a light kiss on the cheek, and then turned and left home.

Yu Lu looked at her mother with some confusion and asked, "Why is Dad so serious? Even if it's about the Hidden Cloud Village, even if there's a war, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Tsunade walked over to Yuru, somewhat shocked, and asked, "Why would you think that?!"

Yu Lu replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't it because Konoha Village is the strongest village?"

Seeing the matter-of-fact look on her daughter's face, Tsunade was speechless for a moment.

It was only at this moment that she realized it was because of Yuya...

It seems that Konoha Village has become stronger, but it has also changed many things...

Take Yu Lu for example...

Their view on war was that since Konoha Village was strong, they weren't afraid of other villages.

While that is indeed the case, however...

When war breaks out, people will die...

Just because your Konoha Village is powerful doesn't mean people won't die.

When war breaks out, who can guarantee that their family and friends will survive?

……

The next day at noon, Yuru and Tsunade, who were on holiday after the midterm exams, were watching TV at home.

Then a news report was urgently broadcast on TV.

The news report stated that a large number of ninja troops had been suddenly mobilized within the Hidden Cloud Village, suggesting that there might be some ulterior motive.

After all, it's not like the Hidden Cloud Village hasn't done undeclared war before.

To guard against Kumogakure, Yua's side has already prepared to send an envoy to Kumogakure to inquire.

At the same time, merchants currently in Konoha Village are advised not to head towards the Land of Iron or the Hidden Cloud Village, at least in the short term.

An eerie silence descended upon the place.

Yu Lu was unsure how to communicate with her mother in this atmosphere.

So she said she wanted to go for a walk around the village.

Tsunade nodded in agreement.

However, when You Lu left home and came to the street, she found that the atmosphere there was even more somber.

Like her mother Tsunade, most of those who looked unwell were middle-aged men and women, while some elderly people looked tense and fearful.

Yu Lu wasn't the only one who felt confused; most of her peers found it extremely strange.

Yu Lu frowned as she entered the game room in Konoha Village, where, as expected, she saw her older brother.

The lively arcade was mostly filled with young people, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

So Yuru found Uncle Rope Tree, who had brought Yuki in to play games, and started complaining:

"Everyone in the village looks so serious, they weren't like this before. Uncle, is it because of the Cloud Village? But our Konoha is so strong now, even if the Cloud Village really attacks, it won't matter, they definitely can't win anyway."

Rope Tree narrowed his eyes at the matter-of-fact look on Yuru's face, then smiled and ruffled Yuru's hair: "Is that so, Lulu, that's what you think..."

You Lu was even more puzzled: "Otherwise, what should we think?"

Nawaki chuckled and shook his head, then calmly looked at Yuru and said, "Uncle doesn't know what to think. Uncle only knows that if Kumogakure attacks, then Uncle will definitely go to the battlefield."

You Lu's eyes widened suddenly...

……

A week later, Yuya appeared on Konoha's television station with a very strange expression, one of him struggling to suppress a laugh.

However, Yuya ultimately held back and announced the lifting of the state of emergency in Konoha. The reason why the Hidden Cloud Village had gathered its ninja army was because a major event had occurred there.

The major incident was that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure was attacked, and the Eight-Tails was deliberately extracted from his body.

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure rushed over immediately upon receiving the news, and then saw a figure wrapped in a dark, blurry mass.

Yes, it's Black Zetsu.

Well, when Yua issued a warrant for Black Zetsu, the Third Raikage wanted to laugh.

He said the Third Hokage must have lost his mind, that such a dark, unremarkable thing is worth 30 million.

Therefore, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Unexpectedly, Black Zetsu, who had been chased to the point of exhaustion by Yua in Konoha, caused a major incident when he arrived in Kumogakure. He fought against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and then used the Sharingan's eye technique to release the Eight-Tails. The Jinchuriki, weakened by the loss of the Eight-Tails, was killed by Black Zetsu.

Then the Third Raikage arrived.

When he arrived and saw the figure with Susanoo and the Eight-Tails slashing, his mind went blank for the first time.

When he saw the corpse of his brother—the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki—his mind went blank, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.

At the third glance, he saw a dark, indistinct thing return to Obito's body in the other world...

What else is there to say?

This thing escaped from Konoha and came to Kumogakure, released the Eight-Tails, killed the Jinchuriki, and it seems it wants to continue sealing the Eight-Tails...

This is absolutely outrageous!

The Third Raikage immediately charged forward.

After that, the Eight-Tails was directly scattered. Obito from the other world watched as he and the Third Raikage fought the Eight-Tails and killed it without a care in the world, and fell silent. Then he let Black Zetsu take him away.

The Third Raikage was left looking at the mess, feeling as if a single thread in his brain had been completely severed.

Enraged, he vowed to find Black Zetsu.

But vows aside, we still have to find the Eight-Tails even though it's gone...

Even if a tailed beast dies, it will not truly die; it will be resurrected. However, it is unknown exactly where it will be resurrected.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the subsequent capture of the Eight-Tails, the Third Raikage directly announced the assembly of the army.

Because they didn't communicate with Konoha, Yua's side overreacted.

Simply put, this was a misunderstanding caused by the fact that the shadows of the two villages did not communicate with each other in a timely manner.

So You Yadan immediately made a decision: "Forget everything else for now, just send me the latest model of mobile phone to the village where the shadows are located."

Next time something like this happens, just make a phone call first.

Of course, Yua also communicated with the Third Raikage via telephone later on.

However, currently, communication between Konoha and other villages is done via landline, the kind that relies on dedicated lines.

The Third Raikage has been working outside all this time, and it's been a week since he last contacted Yuya about returning to Kumogakure.

Furthermore, the Third Raikage immediately expressed his hope that if the Eight-Tails were to be reborn in Konoha, Konoha could help capture it.

After understanding the whole story, You Ya immediately said, "Of course, of course, no problem, no problem."

After lifting the alert in the village, he immediately summoned Sakumo Hatake and instructed him to closely monitor all areas of the Land of Fire and to notify Konoha to capture the Eight-Tails as soon as it appeared there.

Sakumo Hatake was somewhat dumbfounded; hadn't he just made an agreement with the Raikage...?

Yuya scoffed: What do you mean by "good"? Do you have any evidence? Besides... if I arrest him first, I can make a fortune even if I sell him to Kumogakure later.

Stunned by Yua's shamelessness, Hatake Sakumo had no choice but to lead his men to work.

After this blunder, Konoha Village returned to its usual relaxed state.

Only in the black market, seeing Konoha Village offering a bounty of 30 million, and Kumogakure Village immediately increasing the bounty to 50 million, Kakuzu fell into deep thought.

This deal...

This seems like a promising project...
