Naruto: The Ridiculously Talented Uzumaki

Chapter 218: The Important Thing Has Never Been the Gift

"When exactly will Naruto come back?"

Ino, who was watering flowers at the flower shop, suddenly paused her movement and quickly turned around.

She saw her father standing at the entrance, and in front of him was a smiling, golden-haired young man.

"Uncle, I came to see Ino."

"Ah, it’s Naruto. Come in, Ino is here."

Inoichi chuckled, grabbed Naruto’s wrist, and led him into the flower shop.

"Ino, watch the shop. Dad suddenly remembered he has work and needs to put in some overtime."

After witnessing Naruto’s strength, Inoichi had become more open-minded.

Now he felt incredibly generous and broad-minded.

With Naruto around, it was highly unlikely that anyone in Hidden Leaf Village would cut open his heart with a knife in the future.

In a chaotic place like the Ninja World, he felt relieved that Ino had a strong and mutually loving partner like Naruto.

Now he just had to wait for the two children to grow up so he could hold his grandchildren.

Should his future grandson be named Yuto or Kunsuke... After watching Inoichi Yamanaka leave, Naruto walked up to Ino.

"Did you miss me?"

Ino looked him over, then reached out, pinched his cheek, and rubbed it.

"Of course I did. Every day."

Every day, Naruto’s Shadow Clone was either sparring with them or walking around Hidden Leaf Village holding Simba, and when they asked the Shadow Clone where Naruto’s Main Body was, the Shadow Clone said it didn’t know.

She really missed Naruto.

"You missed me every day? Me too, I missed you every day. I brought you a little gift this time."

Naruto extended his hand.

Ino released Naruto’s Face and looked at his hand.

She saw that his hand was empty.

Kurama, guessing what Naruto was trying to do, curled his lip disdainfully, then glanced at Minato squatting beside him. Could this be considered Naruto surpassing his master?

Seeing that Naruto held nothing, Ino was momentarily stunned, but then the curve of her lips deepened. There was no disappointment in her eyes; instead, a ripple of understanding and tenderness spread across them.

She even leaned in closer, teasing him playfully: "What’s this? Did you come bearing your true heart this time? Then I’ll accept it!"

The gift was never the focus; the focus was that he had returned and was standing before her.

"That, of course, is included, but there’s another gift too!"

The smile on Naruto’s Face widened.

Someone who truly loves you won’t stare at the gift; she will pull you down to sit and ask if your journey was smooth.

Sometimes the conversation starts with the most mundane trivialities, because the important thing is never the topic, but that you are the person talking.

In this love, you yourself are the gift that needs no unwrapping; your presence is the arrival.

What she cherishes is not the gift, but you, the person she longed for day and night, finally standing before her.

But he had indeed prepared a gift.

Wood Release: Thousand Loves, Ten Thousand Flowers! (Scratched out)

Wood Release: Flower and Tree World!

Hidden Leaf Village itself was currently created by Naruto using Wood Release, so his Wood Release could directly affect every part of Hidden Leaf Village.

Before coming, Naruto went to find Shikamaru.

Ino liked flowers, so Naruto entrusted Shikamaru with collecting various flower seeds.

The Nara Clan specialized in the medicinal herb business, so getting flower seeds was easy.

Sometimes Yamanaka Rino would also ask traveling merchants doing business for the Nara Clan to help buy flowers.

Regardless of the season they were meant to bloom in, under the catalysis of Naruto’s Wood Release, the flowers would instantly sprout, grow, and blossom.

Flowers of all colors and seasons competed to bloom.

Branches sprouted on the door frame, and new buds grew beside the counter.

The flower shop rapidly changed its decor, transforming from its original simple, classical style into a sea of flowers.

The young woman’s eyes lit up.

"This is wonderful, Naruto."

Minato, inside the Consciousness Space, smiled and leaned against Kurama.

Kurama shook its head, not minding.

Lately, it had been chatting frequently with Minato; the man and the fox had reached a reconciliation.

Sometimes Kurama wondered if things would have been different had its previous Jinchuriki been Minato.

He saw all of Naruto’s internal struggles.

For this segment of Minato’s Chakra, he watched Naruto be born and watched him grow to this current stage.

Naruto’s Soul had never changed, which proved that he was indeed his son.

Naruto’s knowledge from birth might be related to the Six Paths Sage, or perhaps he somehow transmitted his memories back from the future.

The Ninja World is vast, and heroes emerge endlessly, like birds migrating south.

Having any kind of Ninjutsu wasn’t strange.

Kurama watched the scene with great interest, already looking forward to the moment Naruto would reveal his intentions and declare that he wanted them all.

After knowing him for so long, how could he, Kurama, not understand this kid Naruto?

Even if you questioned him, saying love is only between two people, he would likely pretend to be profound and say, "I’m doing this so the girls who love me won’t be sad. This is great love."

This fellow looks gentle and generous, but in reality, he is extremely shameless.

Oh, and occasionally he’s a little petty.

While Naruto and Ino were chatting, back at Naruto’s house.

Kushina and Uzumaki Mito were bathing in the home’s tub, pulling Karin and Uchiha Hikari along.

Since Naruto was a man after all, the task of bathing Uchiha Hikari was naturally handed over to Kushina.

"Hikari-chan and Karin-chan are both so cute! Right, Grandma?"

Kushina held one in each hand, her smile radiant.

She didn’t care how many girls Naruto brought home; for her, the more daughters-in-law, the better.

Revitalizing the Uzumaki Clan in the future could only rely on Naruto.

Uzumaki Mito, who was combing Karin’s hair, nodded when she heard Kushina’s words.

"Yes, they are all lovely children!"

"I see both of them have ample Chakra. Perhaps I can teach them the Yin Seal so they can maintain their youthful appearance."

Uzumaki Mito wasn’t worried that they couldn’t learn the Yin Seal; the Ninja World never lacked Geniuses.

Even if they couldn’t learn it, it didn’t matter. Naruto was a good boy.

"The Yin Seal? That’s really hard to learn."

"These two are smart children. You have to believe in them."

Uzumaki Mito freed a hand and rubbed Kushina’s head.

The three people present were all children to her; Kushina was only twenty-four when she passed away!

Karin was very excited when she heard about maintaining a youthful appearance, and Uchiha Hikari was also greatly tempted.

Who wouldn’t want to stay eternally young?

"Grandma, please teach me later!"

"We need to wait a moment for that. I’m going to find your Aunt Tsunade later. I heard she developed the Yin Seal herself."

"Her understanding of the Yin Seal should be stronger than mine now."

"I’ll go ask her in a bit, and once I’ve learned it, I’ll teach you."

"Grandma is the best!"

——————————

"Big Brother Naruto is the best!"

Hanabi clung to Naruto again, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Hyuga Hiashi, standing nearby, shook his head and said, "Naruto, don’t indulge this child too much. Although sweets are delicious, they should be eaten in moderation."

As soon as Hanabi heard Naruto was going to cook, she put all her effort into ordering a long list of dishes.

Most of the items were sweets, and Hiashi was worried his daughter would get cavities.

Naruto patted Hanabi’s back, signaling her to let go, then set her down on the ground.

Once on the ground, Hanabi hid behind Naruto, holding her sister and Ino, secretly watching Hiashi’s expression.

Even with the thick skin Naruto had developed, he felt a little awkward now, but it would be fine after a few more visits.

However, since he had time this visit, Naruto also asked about the sword.

Hiashi’s solemn attitude at the time made Naruto think he intended to entrust his family via an Imperial Edict, but there was nothing inside the eighty days calamity cutter.

When he asked Hiashi just now, Hiashi actually said he genuinely just wanted Naruto to check if it was comfortable to use... Naruto was almost speechless, wanting to shout: "Old man, Kurama is parked outside your house, are you safe?"

"Eating them occasionally won’t hurt, Uncle Hiashi."

Seeing that her father wasn’t angry, Hanabi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Big Brother Naruto and I will go find Sister. Sister and I won’t be coming back for lunch, Dad."

"Your sister doesn’t have a mission today, so she can come back a little later, but she must be back before nine tonight!"

Hiashi was still reassured regarding Naruto.

Even if he wasn’t reassured, there was nothing he could do. He could now empathize with the Genji who faced Gate of Wonder Gai back then.

This world still speaks through strength.

Naruto’s ability to instantly destroy Konoha Village was terrifying enough, but he could also rebuild Hidden Leaf Village.

This was extremely terrifying. In other words, Naruto now had the complete capability to instantly flatten Hidden Leaf Village.

Even if Shodai(1st)-sama and the others were currently in the Village.

It was already giving him Face that Naruto called him "Uncle." If Naruto truly wanted to do something, Hidden Leaf Village couldn’t resist, meaning they could only purely rely on Naruto’s morality.

While Naruto’s Main Body was relaxing, his Wood Clone arrived at the underground research facility with a mission.
