Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Do you know what kind of person can become Hokage?"

"A powerful ninja recognized by everyone in the village."

Tsukiki observed Itachi's expression.

"Sure."

"I'll teach you to become stronger, and then surpass me, surpass your sister Kushina and Uncle Minato."

Itachi turned to look at Tsuki, his father, who was smiling at him.

Becoming Hokage was Itachi's first and only dream.

However, dreams always come after family, and that was true for Itachi.

But in any case, Itachi's path to Hokage, and his path to genius, began to extend into the distance from this moment on.

Chapter 283: Heartwarming Daily Life

"Itachi, how's it going? How's your practice going?"

Four more years have passed, and Itachi is now six years old. Since he was two, Itachi has been practicing with Tsuki.

With one goal in mind, I will become Hokage.

The kuwu flew out with a whoosh and pierced the center of the target.

The accuracy is incredibly high.

"Wow, not bad."

Kushina wore a strange expression.

At just six years old, Itachi's strength has already reached a certain level.

To be honest, he's already at the top level among genin.

Itachi is skilled in various aspects, not just kunai techniques.

"good."

Itachi, however, was not so arrogant or complacent.

If the goal is to become Hokage, then in Itachi's eyes, the strength of a Genin is merely the first step.

Itachi has a broad perspective. He grew up in an environment of strong people, and the ninja he was closest to was his own mother, Mikoto.

Mikoto is an elite Jonin, although she hasn't trained for quite a while. In recent years, she has occasionally done missions with Kushina.

Even though Mikoto's strength has declined slightly, she is still an elite among Jonin and not someone that ordinary people can deal with.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

After Itachi answered Kushina's question, he continued practicing. To become a strong person, this kind of training is essential; one cannot be lazy!

Next up was ninjutsu practice.

That's right. At only six years old, Itachi has not only mastered the art of kunai, but his ninjutsu skills are also at the top level of a genin.

Kushina smiled, then walked into the house without disturbing Itachi.

Mikoto's family now lives together with several other people. They enjoy top-notch treatment within the Uchiha clan. Not only is the surrounding environment excellent, but Mikoto's family is practically the only one living there.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Itachi continued his practice, his little face already covered in sweat.

"Moon Tree, I'm back."

Kushina beckoned and looked inside. Inside, Mikoto and Tsukiki were sitting side by side in the courtyard, with a sliced ​​watermelon beside them.

Welcome back.

Tsukiki and Mikoto both responded at the same time.

"Itachi is practicing again."

Kushina also skillfully sat down and started eating melon seeds.

"After all, the goal is to become Hokage, so this is inevitable."

"You have to give something to get something, haven't you already tried that?"

Kushina and Mikoto both paused for a moment.

That's right. Back then, the two of them practiced and studied under Tsukiki's guidance, which enabled them to meet the requirements for graduating early.

Now, Itachi has already achieved his goal before even starting school; not only has he achieved it, but he has surpassed most ninja graduates.

"Itachi is working very hard, and we can all see that."

Mikoto glanced at Tsukiki.

“I am Itachi’s mother. I believe in him and will support him.”

"That's what it was said."

Tsukiki turned and glanced at Kushina.

"Itachi might become Hokage before you. After all, Minato's popularity has been rising lately. Maybe he'll still be in power when Itachi grows up."

"Then you won't need to worry about it. I will definitely become the first female Hokage!"

Kushina took a big bite of the melon.

Yue Shu smiled and stood up.

"It's almost time to rest. Practice should be balanced with rest."

Tsukiki is now dressed in a bathrobe, living basically like a retired old man.

As time passed, Tsukiki and Mikoto's marital relationship was solidified, and they had consummated their marriage. However, although his relationship with Kushina was progressing, Kushina's personality and sense of shame prevented her from reaching that point.

Yue Shu's life is now perfectly fulfilling.

"How are you feeling? Tired?"

"I'm not tired, I can keep going!"

Itachi propped himself up, sweat pouring down his face.

"Don't force yourself. It's not time for you young people to stand tall and proud yet."

"Even if the sky falls, there's still the Fourth Hokage, your Uncle Minato is holding it up."

Tsukiki sat down in a relaxed manner and gestured for Yoru to come and sit down and rest as well.

Itachi seemed to relax and slowly sat down next to Tsuki.

"Father."

"I want to challenge you."

Tsukiki glanced at Itachi, then patted his head.

"Sure, you're welcome anytime."

"Speaking of which, it seems you failed your 1300th challenge."

"We're sure to win this time!"

"Maybe, hahaha."

Tsukiki ruffled Itachi's hair, but Itachi, being the kind of person who doesn't complain, calmly fixed it again afterward.

"Alright! No training today, let's rest properly. Kushina is back from her mission, I'll cook you a nice meal."

Tsukiki made the decision on her own initiative.

"Hey?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, even though it would have been useless to refuse anyway.

Itachi felt a little helpless, after all, his own father was just so casual.

"Have a good meal, and then make up for today's practice."

Tsukiki carried the weasel home.

A few people sitting together eating watermelon—a warm and familiar everyday scene.

Chapter 281: Itachi's Path

The days in Konoha.

Mikoto rarely ventured out of Konoha to stroll around, and of course, she was with Kushina.

The two sisters went shopping as usual, except this time they had a little one with them.

"Itachi, do you want some dumplings? It'll be my treat."

"Thank you sister."

Not long after, Itachi was already two years old. He was a genius who would later rival Kakashi.

"Hehe, so good."

Kushina smiled and patted Itachi's little head.

Mikoto watched with a light laugh, her personality unchanged. As time went by, Mikoto became more and more like a virtuous wife, just like a Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Mikoto, here, this is your portion."

Kushina then handed the dumpling to Mikoto, who was standing next to her.

"Thank you."

Mikoto accepted it with a smile.

That's great, the relationship between the two of them didn't get worse because of Tsukiki.

Mikoto watched Kushina walking ahead, holding Itachi's little hand.

The streets of Konoha are bustling with activity. Since Minato became the Fourth Hokage, Konoha has been thriving.

Konoha entered a period of rapid development, and not only the people, but also the relationships between individual families were gradually improving.

The reason is simple: Minato is the sun, he always has. Minato has a very good relationship with almost every family, and through Minato's relationships, every family is connected.
