The delivery room was deathly silent.

That crisp, almost imperceptible sound was like a thunderclap thrown into a deep pool, exploding in everyone's mind.

The silly grin on Minato's face froze into a comical sculpture.

A storm was brewing in Tsunade's beautiful brown eyes.

Meanwhile, Kushina Uzumaki, who had just given birth and should have been the weakest mother in the world, suddenly had nine golden chakra chains burst out from behind her without warning!

Each of those chains burned with a flame called "Mother's Wrath," powerful enough to incinerate everything!

"Shuo! Ye! Qian! Xuan!"

The words, spoken slowly and deliberately as if squeezed out from between her teeth, caused the temperature in the entire delivery room to plummet to freezing.

"I……"

Qian Xuan was about to explain that he was simply using a rather special method to check the future protagonist's "ability to withstand blows".

But he no longer had the chance.

"Diamond Lockdown!"

"Super Strength Fist!"

Two sharp, murderous shouts rang out one after the other.

The next second, a deafening roar and someone's heart-wrenching screams echoed from the delivery room.

"Aww—! Honey, I was wrong!"

"Kushina, I was so wrong! I was just joking with him!"

"Don't hit my face!!"

Outside the door, Minato, who had just been overjoyed at the birth of his child, heard the familiar screams and the loud clatter of ping-pong balls inside. His expression changed from joy to blankness, and then from blankness to a bitter smile.

He hesitated for a long time, but in the end he silently took two steps back and chose to guard the gate for his newborn son.

As for the one inside...

Bless yourself.

……

Three years later, in Konoha Year 51.

The sunlight was just right in the courtyard of the Senju Mansion.

"Wow--!!"

A loud cry broke the afternoon's tranquility.

Three-year-old Naruto, with a head of brilliant golden hair, sat down on the ground and cried his heart out.

On his face, which bore a striking resemblance to Minato's, were two clear tear tracks and a... faint handprint.

Opposite him stood a little girl, also three years old.

The girl had beautiful light purple short hair and wore a dress that allowed her to move around easily. Her pure white eyes, belonging to the Hyuga main family, were now filled with a "king's disdain" that was incongruous with her age.

Hinata Hyuga.

"Naruto Namikaze, if you cry again, I'll beat you up again!"

Hinata threatened in a childish voice, waving her chubby little fist.

Naruto cried even harder.

"Hinata, well done."

Qianxuan lay lazily in a rocking chair under the corridor, swaying back and forth, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

"You can't be soft on these disobedient brats. Next time, remember to use a gentle punch, directly targeting their pressure points, so they can't even cry. That's called a precision strike."

"Yes, Master!"

Hinata puffed out her little chest and answered loudly, looking like a soldier who had just received praise from a general.

Not far away, Terumi Mei, who was preparing tea and snacks with Yekura and Konan, saw this scene and helplessly held her forehead.

She still remembers that three years ago, when Qianxuan brought this newborn girl back and vowed to take her as his disciple, Hyuga Hiashi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Everyone assumed that Qianxuan would raise her to be a well-educated, gentle, and quiet young lady from a respectable family.

result……

Three years have passed, and Hinata's manners are impeccable. She bows and greets everyone she meets, and her words are as sweet as honey.

But once they start fighting...

The entire new generation of Konoha, from the always cool Sasuke of the Uchiha clan, to Kiba of the Inuzuka clan holding a puppy, to the taciturn Shino of the Aburame clan... every single one of them was beaten so badly that they cried and went home to find their mothers.

Naruto, in particular, got beaten the worst.

Over time, Hinata Hyuga became a legendary leader among Konoha's new generation of children, a woman whose word was law.

And her catchphrase became a nightmare for all her peers—"My master said..."

"What kind of nonsense are you teaching the kids now?"

Tsunade's voice came from behind, and she casually pulled the foxtail grass out of Sengen's mouth.

Her simple loungewear accentuated her mature charm, making her even more breathtaking.

"How can this be considered a mess?"

Qian Xuan sat up, his face full of self-righteousness.

"I'm cultivating her leadership skills and competitive spirit. Look at the current 'Konoha Twelve,' which one doesn't listen to her? That's called team cohesion!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to argue with him.

The changes in Konoha over the past three years have been nothing short of earth-shattering.

With Kakuzu's almost obsessive financial management and Orochimaru's technological support, which was at least two generations ahead of the entire ninja world, Konoha underwent round after round of expansion.

Today's Konoha is no longer a simple ninja village.

Skyscrapers stand tall, streets are wide, and commercial districts, residential areas, and ninja training areas are all well-planned. Even previously unheard-of entertainment venues like cinemas and arcades have appeared.

Its size has increased fivefold compared to three years ago, making it a true metropolis with a population of millions.

The largest country in the ninja world, the capital of the Land of Fire, looks like a small town in front of Konoha.

The creator of all this, at this moment, is like an idle street urchin, spending his days leading a group of three- or four-year-old children, running and jumping around the village.

"Master! Master! What are we playing today?"

Hinata, pulling a exhausted Naruto along, led a large group of kids over in a grand procession.

In the group, there was Choji, clutching a bag of snacks and munching away with grease; there was Shikamaru, looking like he was "utterly troublesome," yet still following along; and there was Ino, hands on her hips, acting like a little queen...

"Today..."

Qianxuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment,

"Let's play a 'treasure hunt'!"

He pulled out a crooked map he had drawn himself from his pocket.

"This is a treasure map I hid in the village! Whoever finds it first will be rewarded with... um, a lifetime free pass to Ichiraku Ramen!"

"Oh my gosh! Ramen!"

As soon as Naruto heard the word "ramen," his tears instantly dried, and his eyes sparkled.

"Tch, childish."

In the corner, a little boy with black hair and black eyes stood with his hands in his pockets, speaking coolly.

Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sasuke, what did you say?!"

Ino immediately objected, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at him.

"I said, this kind of childish game is too boring."

Sasuke raised his chin.

"Hmph, just say you can't find it!"

"Who says I can't find it!"

Seeing that the two little ones were about to start arguing, Hinata cleared her throat and stepped forward.

"Stop arguing!"

With a wave of her small hand, she displayed a rather bossy demeanor.

"The treasure hunt begins now! Everyone, follow my instructions!"

"oh!!!"

A group of little rascals, just like that, rushed out in a flurry of activity, following their "Big Sister Hinata".

Only Uchiha Sasuke was left, bewildered in the wind.

He watched the group's backs, hesitated for three seconds, and finally snorted before reluctantly following them.

Tsunade looked at the group of energetic little ones and rubbed her temples with a headache.

"Are you just going to let them have fun like this? They are all ninjas who will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the village in the future."

"What's the rush?"

Qianxuan lay back in the rocking chair, crossed his legs, and

"The most important thing for a ninja is not the skill of killing, but the will to protect."

He watched the children's retreating figures, his gaze becoming somewhat distant.

"Let them see for themselves how wonderful this village is and how precious life here is."

"When they grow up, they will naturally know how to protect all of this."

Tsunade stared at his unusually serious profile, paused for a moment, and then a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Perhaps... he's not wrong.
