[In the afternoon, everyone returned to their previous state.]
[Since they just graduated today, Naruto gave everyone a short break.]
[the rookie 9 rushed toward the back mountains in a mighty stream.]
[The area where they usually trained was not blown up by Naruto.]
[Naruto was not in a hurry and let everyone go first.]
[After the rookie 9 had all gone downstairs.]
[Only then did Naruto carry Uchiha Izumi back into the bedroom.]
["Just wait and see, the effect will appear in the next few days."]
["I'm heading out first."]
[Naruto smoothed Uchiha Izumi's slightly messy hair.]
[After standing up, he hesitated for a moment.]
[Then he leaned down again.]
["Wake up quickly."]
[Smack—]
[He placed one on Uchiha Izumi's forehead.]
[Immediately afterward, Naruto straightened up and stared at Uchiha Izumi for a long time.]
[There was nothing unusual.]
["Did I guess wrong?"]
["Great Fox, didn't you say Izumi had consciousness long ago?"]
[Inside the Sealing Space, the Great Fox picked its ears, ignoring Naruto.]
[Naruto could only shake his head helplessly.]
[In fact, Naruto had felt this way for a long time.]
["She blushes when I wipe her down... it must be a physical instinct."]
["If she were conscious, why wouldn't Izumi have even the slightest reaction?"]
[Saying this, Naruto walked out of the bedroom.]
[After Naruto left, Uchiha Izumi's pretty face warmed up at a visible rate.]
[Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.]
[Her breathing was slightly rapid.]
[Her forehead seemed to still carry residual warmth.]
[Little did she know.]
[At this moment, behind the bedroom door, the corner of Naruto's mouth curled up slightly.]
[You little rascal.]
[Did you think you could hide it from me?]
[However... Ino's move was indeed very useful.]
[He chuckled softly.]
[Leaving a Shadow Clone to watch the house.]
[Creak—]
[However, what surprised Naruto was.]
[As soon as he opened the door, he saw a woman standing outside with a face covered in charcoal ash.]
[If not for that noticeable strand of purple hair.]
[Naruto might not have recognized her immediately.]
["Yūgao?"]
["Um... could you possibly..."]
[Yūgao opened her mouth, but the words caught in her throat.]
["Alright."]
[Naruto nodded slightly.]
[For this Kenjutsu Master, and one of the candidates for family revival.]
[Naruto rarely refused her requests.]
[Yūgao Uzuki's eyes lit up.]
["Thank you~"]
[Naruto returned to the kitchen.]
["I'm going out soon, so I can't go down and help you."]
["Just heat this up, you only need to add the seasoning."]
[Looking at the few extra dishes in her hand.]
[Yūgao Uzuki was stunned for a moment.]
[Judging by the presentation, this was definitely not the first time he had made them.]
[In that case... it seems this disciple of hers had prepared something similar a long time ago.]
[But every time, he never refused her excuse to invite him home to help cook...]
[For a moment, Yūgao Uzuki was touched.]
[Women tend to be more emotional.]
[Naruto put on his signature gentle smile.]
["Well then, Elder Sister Yūgao, see you later."]
[Waving his hand, Naruto instantly disappeared.]
[Yūgao was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head.]
["It seems I need to put some effort into cooking too."]
[As she spoke, the corner of Yūgao Uzuki's mouth lifted uncontrollably.]
[Before long, Yūgao Uzuki returned home.]
[What greeted her were two faces that were equally pitch black.]
[The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and then Anko Mitarashi was the first to burst out laughing, revealing her white teeth.]
[Yūgao Uzuki and Kurenai Yuhi couldn't hold back either, also revealing their white teeth.]
[Then, a burst of silver-bell-like laughter echoed inside the room.]
This comical scene.
Made quite a few people smile.
Smiles don't disappear, they just transfer.
And sure enough.
Kurenai Yuhi and Yūgao Uzuki were both blushing furiously.
Only Anko Mitarashi was still laughing heartily without a care in the world.
However.
A strong sense of crisis welled up in Hinata's heart.
She had a bad feeling.
In the Pure Land World.
Kushina's eyes lit up.
She quickly turned to look at her best friend.
Seeing this, her best friend immediately understood the meaning in her eyes.
She shook her head helplessly.
"Kushina... you can't do that."
"Don't tell me you're talking about 'Buy One Get Two Free'?"
Kushina remained silent, merely nodding repeatedly.
Uchiha Mikoto was speechless.
How did things suddenly change flavor?
Wait!
Uchiha Mikoto's delicate body trembled.
Kushina seemed to be including even me?!
Yūgao Uzuki was 'Buy One Get Two Free'.
So now... doesn't that mean Izumi is 'Buy One Get One Free'?!
"Are you crazy?!"
Kushina blinked, "Revive the Uzumaki, revive the Uchiha."
"Didn't you agree too?"
Uchiha Mikoto: "..."
Fine, Kushina was still Kushina.
Izumi blinked, looking at them with some confusion.
["That's great, Yūgao."]
["Hiding a handsome man in a golden house, huh?"]
["Don't talk nonsense." Yūgao rolled her eyes at her. "That child is very outstanding... Besides, he's just upstairs, so it's not exactly 'hiding him at home'."]
[Kurenai Yuhi blinked.]
[Yūgao in this state was rare.]
[This girl... could she be about to...]
[When asked normally, she would refuse to speak, as if it were a secret.]
[Kurenai Yuhi only knew that an extremely talented young man lived upstairs from Yūgao, whose Kenjutsu talent far surpassed Yūgao's.]
[Kurenai Yuhi wanted to catch a glimpse of him, but... Yūgao was so anxious she almost drew her sword.]
[Anko Mitarashi, who was quicker, even had a scabbard held against her neck by Yūgao.]
"Damn it!"
Anko Mitarashi immediately grew angry.
She immediately pounced over.
Before long, Yūgao Uzuki was shrieking with laughter from being tickled.
Even Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but join the fray.
Prioritizing romance over friendship!
However, a single sentence from Anko Mitarashi soon stunned Kurenai Yuhi.
"Aha, Yūgao, you're hogging him all to yourself, aren't you?!"
Although she knew Anko meant it literally.
Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but associate it with Black-Framed Naruto's plans for the future.
The possibility of all three sisters being taken in together... was probably quite high!
Black-Framed Naruto is only twelve now... just wait another year or two... No! What am I thinking?!
But... given my filter regarding Minato-sensei... Oh no!
[The next day.]
[The students who successfully became Genin returned to school.]
[However, they were informed that the plan had changed.]
[Iruka said helplessly, "Everyone, due to certain circumstances, the team assignments have been postponed."]
[Then, Iruka forced out a smile.]
["But it's alright, just come back on time one week from now."]
["Also, during this week, please continue with your original missions."]
["This week, everyone can go to the Hokage Building to take their graduation photos. Remember to dress formally."]
["And the most important point."]
[Iruka became a little serious and said, "Make sure to take good care of your forehead protectors."]
["Alright."]
[The next second, Iruka smiled again.]
["Everyone, go back and prepare."]
["Also, congratulations again on successfully graduating."]
["Dismissed."]
