Naruto

The next morning, the new ANBU captain Uzumaki Naruto was holding a rag and diligently wiping the furniture that had accumulated a lot of dust because he hadn't been home for a long time. He was also chewing a piece of sweet Yokan.

, to satisfy the appetite of a certain fox in the body for these snacks. Not far away, a noisy quarrel sounded in the ears of one person and one fox.

"You're cheating! No, no, this game doesn't count!"

"A bereft dog is incapable of rage, incapable of rage! (?ω?)hiahiahia."

"Damn it! Let's go out and have a fight if we can!"

"Calm down, calm down, the worst we can do is have another round."

"The main body works and the clone plays cards. You are really the most useless ninja I have ever seen in my life." Kyuubi sneered in Naruto's ear.

"This room is usually deserted, so it's good to have more people." Naruto was indifferent to Kyuubi's sarcasm, and continued to wipe the corners of the desk and chair against the wall that were usually difficult to take care of. After a while, Naruto finally

After cleaning his bedroom, he threw the rag into the bucket, and all the stains were dissolved into the water under the delicate control of chakra.

"Why are these guys so silent all of a sudden?" Naruto noticed the unusual silence in the living room, and tiptoed open the door, only to find that they were lying on the mats on the ground. The things they had thrown away randomly on the ground last night

Coke cans and snack bags have been placed in garbage bags, and the playing cards that were originally scattered on the table have all been put in boxes. Naruto smiled slightly, separated into three shadow clones, and gently shook himself awake

own true images.

"Um...what's wrong?" The three images climbed up from the mat in one fell swoop, opening their sleepy eyes and asking in confusion.

"Sakura invited us to her house for lunch today. Did you forget?" Naruto released the shadow clone technique and replied angrily with his hands on his hips.

"Oh, that's right!" The three clones suddenly became energetic and gathered around the main body. One of the clones asked anxiously: "Do you think Sakura's parents will dislike our lack of education since childhood?"

"Oh, your worries are too much! The Haruno family is not a wealthy family like the Uchiha, how can they be so particular?" Another clone hooked the former's neck and replied carelessly, "If we are too restrained,

If you are polite, it will appear insincere."

"It's almost time, let's leave immediately." Naruto looked at the frog-shaped wall clock on the wall and waved to his clone.

"Let's go!" the clones echoed excitedly, turning into a golden flash of light and sinking into Naruto's body.

"Well, isn't it too late to buy new clothes at the last minute?" The young squad leader thought distressedly as he looked at the shabby clothes in his empty wardrobe.

At 11:30 local time in Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto stood in front of the security door of the Haruno family apartment with a gift in hand, took a deep breath, and rang the bell on the door.

"Ding dong—!" After the pleasant ringing of the bell, a burst of footsteps came to Naruto's ears from far to near. Then the door slowly opened amidst a series of soft sounds made by the spring hitting the lock plate, revealing the

A middle-aged uncle with short purple-gray hair. He is Haruno Sakura's father and Naruto's future father-in-law, Haruno Zhao. After his eyes touched the silver-gray overalls on the boy's upper body, the expression on his face instantly changed.

Panic.

"Hello, Uncle Haruno." The young man bowed slightly to the middle-aged uncle, "I am Sakura's boyfriend Uzumaki Naruto. She wrote a letter before and asked me to come here for dinner at noon today. I hope my uncle and aunt won't take offense."

Zhao Wei calmed down and smiled nervously: "Haha, we are not even happy that an excellent ninja like you can date Sakura. How can we be surprised?"

"This is a souvenir given to me by Tsuchikage-sama when I was on a mission in Iwagakure a few days ago. I brought it to my uncle and aunt this time so I can try it." Naruto took the dried mushrooms in his hand and a

Bags packed with assorted nuts were handed out.

"Is this a gift from Lord Tsuchikage? Isn't this...a little too expensive?" Zhao looked at the two packages of local souvenirs of considerable origin and hesitated to take them.

"Dad, Naruto, if you continue to be so polite, the food will get cold!" Seeing her usually cheerful and generous father's coy behavior, the pink-haired girl finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she came to the two of them in a blink of an eye.

seize

After passing the gift handed out by the young man.

"Haha, you're right, Sakura, it's dad who is too restrained." Zhaoqian laughed and agreed without authority.

Sakura placed the souvenirs by the wall, her eyes paused on the flame tattoo on Naruto's left arm, and greeted in a very casual tone: "Come in and sit down, if you want anything, wait till we get to the dinner table."

Let’s talk about it later.”

Naruto nodded, took off his ninja boots, and quietly followed Zhao and Sakura into their small and cozy home.

At this time, Sakura's mother Haruno Meabuki also walked out of the kitchen. When she saw the young man who had just entered the door, she said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for three years. I didn't expect you to grow into such a handsome young man! It's great to be able to date you.

Sakura's blessing."

"Haha, Auntie, you are too polite. I should feel lucky that Sakura can like me."

"The food is ready. Come, try auntie's cooking."

Naruto glanced at the spring-faced girl and replied with a smile: "Then I must see today what kind of food can raise such a beautiful girl."

"Haha, you kid is really good at talking. No wonder our little Sakura..."

"Mom!" Sakura yelled as she stamped her feet.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. The food is getting cold. You'd better come and eat quickly."

"Yes, Auntie." The young man naturally took Sakura's hand and walked to the dinner table with her.

After a few words of greeting, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to enjoy the dishes carefully prepared by Haruno Meabuki and Haruno Zhao.

Naruto had just put a piece of sashimi into his mouth when he heard Sakura next to him ask: "Hey, Naruto, when did you join the ANBU, why didn't I know?"

"Well..." Naruto didn't care to savor the smooth texture of the fish fillet, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied seriously: "This is the order signed by the Hokage himself yesterday. You know, pull me

Why don't you become a firefighter? I've done this kind of thing a lot anyway."

"Hey, I don't believe it. If you hadn't been nagging in front of Kakashi-sensei all day, Tsunade-sama would have gone to such trouble to stuff you into the ANBU?"

"Haha, I didn't expect you to see through it." Naruto touched the back of his head and said with a naive smile.

"Idiot..." Sakura muttered in a low voice and returned her attention to the arctic clams on her plate.

"The death rate of ANBU ninjas is much higher than that of ordinary ninjas. If you join this kind of organization, I'm afraid..." A worried expression appeared on Haruno Zhao's face.

"No ninja's job is absolutely safe, but this guy's life is much tougher than you think. Don't worry about it, dad." Sakura replied without raising her head.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded vigorously.

"I'm not complimenting you, idiot!"

"Ugh..." The young man lowered his head in frustration.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Haruno Meabuki couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Although I don't quite understand your ninja rules, I feel like you guys get along quite well."

"Who can get along with this idiot!" Sakura blushed, but she still refused to forgive her.

"Don't be so heartless, Sakura..." Naruto pulled the girl's sleeve and said pitifully.

"Haha, it seems that Sakura will not suffer any injustice if she marries him in the future." Haruno Meabuki whispered to her husband in a low voice.

"You don't understand things about ninjas, Meabuki. This child has terrible power in his body when he is born, and he has been called the 'Nine-tailed Demon Fox' since he was a child. Don't look at him now, he is giving way to Sakura, but if something happens in the future and

Sakura had a dispute, and no one in the world could protect her from harm." Haruno Zhao replied worriedly.

"Is this so..."

All the conversations between the Haruno couple were heard word for word by the two jonins with superior perception. A hint of anger flashed across the girl's face, and she was about to speak out to refute, but Naruto's gentle words came to her ears.

Voice: "Don't worry too much, Sakura. Uncle and aunt

It's also for your safety, which I understand. Besides, it's human nature to be afraid of forces outside of one's control. As long as you don't dislike me, Sakura." The boy took advantage of the two people on the other side not paying attention.

, grinned quickly at the girl.

The girl gently held the boy's right hand and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm not afraid of an idiot."

The young man stroked the smooth back of his hand with his rough palm prints, squinted his eyes and replied with a smile: "Uzumaki Naruto will always be a big fool in front of Sakura."

Naturally, the whispers of the two Jonin were not something that an ordinary person or a ninja who had never been able to advance to Chunin could overhear. Haruno Zhao and Haruno Mebuki exchanged a few words in a low voice, then turned around and asked cautiously

: "Naruto, what are your plans for your future life?"

"The first thing is of course to eradicate the Akatsuki organization that threatens world peace." Naruto put down the caviar sushi in his hand and replied easily, "The next step is probably to learn how to be a qualified Hokage."

"Qualified Hokage?" Haruno Zhao asked in surprise.

"Becoming Hokage is a dream I have been pursuing since I was a child!" Naruto replied enthusiastically.

Sakura looked at her father's expression of "turns out he was just talking in his sleep", and a sarcastic smile flashed across his face: "The Sixth Generation is basically confirmed to be Kakashi-sensei. If nothing unexpected happens, Naruto

He will officially become the Seventh Hokage in fifteen years. This is the unanimous opinion of the Third Hokage, Tsunade-sama and all the Jonin in the village."

Because the faction that opposed him has been eliminated by Sasuke-kun and Kakashi-sensei together. The girl added silently in her heart.

"Haha, it's rare for you to praise me, Sakura." Naruto scratched the back of his head and chuckled a few times.

This guy started to act stupid again. The girl curled her lips secretly and said nothing.

Haruno Zhao was silent for a while, then asked in as calm a tone as possible: "What about Sakura?"

Naruto solemnly replied: "On all issues, I will completely respect Sakura's own choice."

"Will you never leave Sakura in the future?" Haruno Meabuki suddenly interjected and asked.

The boy looked into the girl's green eyes and firmly shook his head: "No."

Under the astonished eyes of the Haruno couple, a sunny smile appeared on the boy's face, and he slowly completed his answer: "I will always love her until the day she stops loving me."

After lunch, Naruto and the shadow clone washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and then stacked them neatly in the cupboard. Not long after, the Haruno couple went back to the room for a lunch break and put the

The living room was reserved for two young people.

The original intention of the Haruno couple was to give them a chance to communicate their feelings alone, but it was a pity that both of them were ninjas, so personal feelings would always come second to work and tasks. After Sakura watched her parents go back to the room, her expression suddenly changed.

He became depressed: "The autopsy reports of the victims in the Bear Country have been released. The cause of death is without exception ultra-high doses of radiation. And both the scope and intensity are far higher than what was mentioned in the intelligence intercepted by Sasuke-kun last time.

number."

Naruto suddenly heard the other party mention this matter, and was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the stacked mat, frowned and asked: "You mean this time they not only deployed the 'Death Ray', but also carried out attacks on it.

Some degree of improvement?”

"At least we can't think of any other situations." Sakura formed seals with her hands and used genjutsu to project a small partial map between the two of them. "This is what the Chakra Imager obtained from aerial photography around the Bear Country."

image."

Naruto looked at the three-dimensional map filled with different shades of red color blocks and said solemnly: "How many years will it take for the radiation pollution in the soil in this area to decay to a livable level?"

"Fifty to a hundred years." Sakura replied softly, "If Lord Xingying hadn't been so powerful and had just avoided the central area of ​​radiation, he would probably have started to fester all over his body by now."

"Subaru's heart has died. No matter how much physical pain he has, it is nothing." Naruto's deep voice seemed to be reciting a eulogy at a funeral. "I lost everything worth cherishing in my life overnight. The only support is

The belief that he lives by is revenge."

"I heard that he is working under Sasuke-kun now?"

"Well, Sasuke has been tracking down the whereabouts of the Akatsuki organization. Sakura, time can heal all wounds. All we can do is to prevent similar tragedies from happening again in this land." Naruto looked out the window.

￥The cloudy sky sighed softly.
