The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 232 Playful Fighting, Meeting

Noon passed quickly.

Although Naruto felt a little pained about spending money to treat everyone, he gained more happiness from it.

They went back to class in the afternoon, and because they had eaten too much, Uchiha Hisaji gave them a general education lesson.

Explain the techniques of clones and shadow clones to them.

This was a lesson that Chiyo instructed Hisaji to teach, because it would be used later.

Qianyao did not come to class, but instead put Ziyanghua and the others into a regular class.

For him, all of this is for joining the elite class later; this is just a transition.

Shion also began to learn sealing techniques from Miroku, following the teachings of the sorcery system.

After a while, we'll put her in the ninja academy too.

Qianyao is now preparing to turn the Ninja Academy into a breeding ground for his talent cultivation.

As for the rest of the ninja academy students, well, that's up to them.

Since they have the opportunity to enter the elite class, it's their own business if they don't compete for it.

Everything Qianyao is doing now is laying the groundwork for the future.

After all the Uchiha clan members have been fleeced, it's unknown how many years it will take for the stars to condense again.

Moreover, those with lower skill levels can only reach a maximum of two stars.

The people in the elite class are different; after they grow up, they basically all have three stars or more.

Therefore, Qianyao is happy to spend time becoming a good teacher and friend to this group of people.

When Chiyo arrived at the school gate, Sasuke and his group were just saying goodbye to Naruto.

Naruto's house is in another direction, so he probably wants to go home as soon as possible.

He greeted Sasuke and the others, then disappeared like a gust of wind.

Naruto seemed especially happy today, and Sasuke could clearly sense that Naruto was different from usual.

It's not just about birthdays.

At that moment, a pair of hands were stretched out in front of Sasuke's eyes and waved:

"We'll see you tomorrow, why not?"

Karin loves to tease Sasuke.

Because Sasuke only rarely acts cool when he's facing Naruto.

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes at Karin.

Karin acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and ran off to the side with a grin, because Chiyo had arrived.

"Master!"

Karin lunged forward, nearly knocking Chiyo over.

Chiyo reached out and caught Karin: "Okay, what's wrong?"

Karin rolled her eyes and pointed at Sasuke, saying, "Sasuke bullied me."

Sasuke was shocked. He was the one who was being bullied!

Sasuke had never seen this kind of maneuver before, and said somewhat anxiously:

When did I bully you?

"Master, don't listen to Karin's nonsense."

Sure enough, Karin chuckled and said, "You rolled your eyes at me just now."

Sasuke huffed, "Does this count too?"

Even if, even if.

Karin has been teasing Sasuke lately, and Chiyo knows this, but he just watches the two children playfully bickering quietly.

Other children also witnessed them playing.

Gaara grew to love the atmosphere at school more and more.

Moreover, this group of people didn't treat him, the jinchūriki, any differently; they treated him like an ordinary classmate.

Because of his frail health since childhood, Yakumo Kurama rarely went out and had no friends.

Spending time with everyone lately has brought Yakumo joy and happiness.

Although his body was temporarily unable to cultivate, she spent every day with her classmates.

Her classmates also liked her paintings, and they got along very well.

When Ying came to the Uchiha clan, she was always uneasy, after all, her only relative had passed away.

But recently, with Karin taking care of her all the time, Ying has gradually become familiar with her current life, and her face has become much shinier.

Kimimaro and Haku were the oldest and most hardworking among the group of children.

Both of them have a strong sense of crisis, so they never slack off.

However, hard training does not mean a difficult life.

After arriving at the Uchiha clan, they had no worries about food and drink. Chiyo even took them shopping for clothes and gave them pocket money regularly.

The friendly and loving environment at the school allowed two people with unhappy childhoods to feel warmth.

Although they don't like roughhousing, they find it fun to see their friends doing it.

"Alright, let's go home. Stop fooling around, Sasuke," Qianyao said, noticing it was getting late.

At that moment, Karin ran up behind Chiyo and stuck her head out to make a face at Sasuke.

Sasuke's face turned as red as a steamed bun from anger, and he immediately chased after Karin.

Having not experienced the pain of his clan's annihilation, Sasuke is not as cool and has become much more lively.

Qianyao reached out and flicked Sasuke's forehead with precision.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Sasuke rubbed his forehead and complained, "Master, you're protecting her again!"

Chiyo smiled and scooped Karin up to his shoulder:

"Otherwise, Karin will be the senior sister and you will be the junior brother, then I will protect you."

Sasuke snorted: "No, I'm the senior brother, I'm the elder brother!"

Karin made a face at Sasuke from Chiyo's shoulder: "So don't hold it against me, senior brother."

Children's moods change quickly, and their expressions are hard to hide; Sasuke was just fuming a moment ago.

Upon hearing Karin call him "senior brother," a smile immediately spread across his face, impossible to suppress.

"Hmph, I'll let it slide this time."

Sasuke turned his head coolly, thus ending today's playful antics.

Chiyo chuckled to himself; Sasuke was once again being manipulated by Karin.

……

Naruto's house.

After Naruto arrived at the door, he mentally prepared himself before opening it.

"I am back."

Naruto called out as usual.

But today, we received a response.

"Welcome home, Naruto."

The sound of a vortex came, and Naruto's smile blossomed on his face.

The food was already laid out on the table.

A shadowy figure stood beside the table.

Naruto happily ran to the table. Although the dishes on the table were just ordinary home-cooked meals, Naruto felt incredibly happy.

He hugged Whirlpool tightly: "Thank you for preparing a gift for me, Whirlpool."

Uzumaki broke free from Naruto's grasp: "This isn't a birthday present."

Naruto asked curiously, "Huh? Isn't this it?"

The vortex spoke up: "Weren't you curious about my identity before? Now, look at me."

Naruto stared wide-eyed as the shadow on Uzumaki slowly disappeared.

She had long, wine-red hair, with a hair clip pinned to her left bun, a wristband on her left wrist, and a green dress over a short-sleeved shirt.

Naruto stared at Kushina in disbelief, his voice trembling as he asked, "You...you're my mother!?"

This time, Kushina didn't disguise her voice; instead, she revealed her true voice.

"I'm your mom, happy birthday, Naruto."

Naruto suddenly hugged Kushina and burst into tears.

"Mom, you are Mom."

"I have a mom now, I have a mom now."

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Naruto burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had held for so many years.

Kushina hugged Naruto and gently patted his back.

His eyes were full of love.
