Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 329 Playing Hard to Win

As soon as he stepped out of Kushina's house, Uchiha Gen's mouth broke into a wide grin, as wide as a lotus flower.

Kushina is so moisturizing, it's irresistible and leaves you wanting more!

Looking at the sunset that resembled a brocade on the horizon, Uchiha Gen let out a refreshing breath and then walked briskly towards the Ninja Academy.

Halfway there, Uchiha Gen found a ninja from the police department and asked him to go back and inform Mikoto so that she wouldn't make a wasted trip and her family wouldn't have to wait for him for dinner.

When they arrived at the ninja academy, it was nearly six o'clock. Uchiha Gen didn't go to the entrance, but stayed in a corner to avoid dealing with the parents who were also there to pick up their children.

Most people in this world mature and become independent at a young age, so there aren't many parents who come to pick up their children.

These are all parents of children who have just started school. Usually, after half a semester, the children will go home on their own. Unless there is something going on at the ninja school, the parents generally won't come over.

After waiting a few minutes, the ninja academy let out, and a swarm of children poured out of the open school gates...

Upon seeing Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin emerge together, Genji Uchiha leisurely set off to meet them.

Karin had already been taken away by Anna Uzumaki, while Sasuke and Naruto remained where they were, looking around.

"Sasuke, Naruto."

Upon hearing this, the two looked over, their eyes showing surprise, before their faces broke into smiles.

"Brother Xuan, why are you the one picking me up today?" Sasuke asked with a smile.

"I had some free time today, so I came over."

"Naruto, I'm here to pick you up for your mother too."

"We're going to your Aunt Kushina's house for dinner today, we won't be going back home."

"Let's go."

After a brief explanation, a blond-haired man and a black-haired man followed Uchiha Gen along the street.

"How's it going to be at the ninja academy?"

"This feels so much more fun than home," Naruto said, his eyes shining.

"Boring, so many of my classmates are too childish," Sasuke said expressionlessly, looking cool.

"Don't just focus on playing. If your grades are terrible, your mom will definitely make you eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork."

"Sasuke, you need to mature a bit."

"More mature children need to learn to be tolerant, to understand and accept their immaturity, and not to show disgust."

Sasuke is actually quite immature, but he's easier to get along with if you stroke his hair.

"Stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork?"

"I've never had this before, is it good?" Naruto swallowed, his face full of curiosity.

"I understand, I will be understanding towards them."

Sasuke, feeling recognized, looked like he wanted to laugh but deliberately held it back, putting on a composed demeanor.

"Hehe, stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork is like being spanked with a bamboo stick, wouldn't you say it's delicious?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto shuddered and shook his head vigorously, saying, "It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good..."

"Keep it up, don't disgrace your father and the Uchiha clan."

Kushina, if she were alive, would naturally tell Naruto about Minato Namikaze, which is why Naruto knew that his father was the Fourth Hokage.

Having been influenced by his surroundings, Sasuke naturally became proud of being a member of the Uchiha clan.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be number one in the test," Naruto said confidently.

With Kushina around, the Nine-Tails' chakra couldn't interfere with Naruto. Naruto was also highly talented, and with Kushina's encouragement, it was much more difficult for Sasuke to get first place than in the original story.

"Nonsense, I'm number one, you'll only ever be number two," Sasuke said arrogantly.

"I'm number one!"

"I'm number one!"

"..."

With the two noisy little ones in tow, Uchiha Gen returned to Kushina's house in no time.

This time, there was no need to knock. Uchiha Gen had brought his key with him when he left, so he opened the door and went straight in.

Kushina had already tidied up and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, the aroma of food wafting through the living room...

"You're back?" Kushina looked outside while holding a spatula.

"Mom, I'm home."

"Aunt Kushina, I'm here."

The two little ones ran to the kitchen door to say hello.

"Play for a little while, then go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon," Kushina said with a smile and a gentle tone.

The two children responded and ran off to play, while Uchiha Gen rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.

"Why are you staring at me?" Kushina blushed slightly and said with a soft reproach.

"You look even more beautiful than before. It's true that flowers need regular watering," Uchiha Gen said with a smug smile.

Kushina understood what Uchiha Gen meant. Her heart skipped a beat, her pretty face flushed, and a rosy blush spread across her cheeks. She scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little pervert!"

"Don't you know how young I am?" Uchiha Gen said with a wicked grin.

"Pah, I'm ignoring you..."

Hearing these blatant flirtatious words, Kushina couldn't hold back any longer and turned to the side, pretending to be angry.

Uchiha Gen didn't try to coax him; he just chuckled and then quietly got to work.

Sometimes, whether a woman is genuinely angry or just pretending, you shouldn't try to appease her. The more you try to appease her, the more aggrieved she will feel, and the more she will react. Just leave her alone for a while, and it will all pass.

Sure enough, after a short while, Uchiha Gen casually made up an excuse, and Kushina started a conversation.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

Kushina called out, then picked up the last bowl of soup and walked towards the dining room.

Following behind her, Uchiha Gen looked at Kushina, who was dressed in home clothes and an apron, exuding the air of a virtuous wife and loving mother, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her swaying, pert figure.

"what……"

Kushina cried out in surprise as her vital points were suddenly attacked. Her body trembled, her legs went weak, and she almost dropped the soup in her hand.

What are you doing?

Kushina turned around, glared at Uchiha Gen, and said with a hint of anger.

Uchiha Gen scratched the back of his head sheepishly, putting on an innocent look, and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself for a moment..."

"Hmph, this is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time."

"The children are all here. If they see this, you can forget about ever touching me again..."

Kushina wasn't actually angry, after all, she had done what she should and shouldn't have done.

Seeing how infatuated Uchiha Gen was with her, she was actually quite pleased, but out of a woman's modesty, she kept a straight face and said...

"understood."

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly, then said meaningfully, "Then tonight..."

Kushina glared at Uchiha Gen, her legs slightly pressed together, her pretty face flushed as she retorted, "Hmph, haven't you been at it all afternoon?"

"Not enough, not enough, not even a lifetime would be enough!"

Uchiha Gen shook his head like a rattle-drum, and began to utter sweet words.

"You've recovered by now, haven't you?"

Given the physique of the Uzumaki clan and Kushina's strength, Yoruichiro, Mikoto, and others are far inferior to Kushina in terms of recovery ability.

Kushina hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then turned away with her head bowed, leaving behind a single sentence in a voice so soft it was barely audible; had Uchiha Gen not possessed exceptional hearing, he would have been completely unable to hear it…

"Come over late at night, or to your old house."

Uchiha Gen was secretly pleased and followed them out of the kitchen with a grin.

At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke also went to the bathroom to wash their hands and sat upright in their chairs.

The four chatted and ate, enjoying themselves immensely, almost like a family of four.

After finishing their meal and staying for a while, Uchiha Gen took Sasuke back home, chatted with the women for a bit, and then went to rest.

Today was a day that Uchiha Gen had specially chosen; it was a day off, and he wasn't on any of the women's volleyball shifts.

No matter how healthy you are, you can't party every night; you still need to rest properly.

As night fell, Uchiha Gen left without alerting anyone, creating a shadow clone before quietly departing using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
