"Mom, I'm back!"
In the evening, Naruto, who had gotten his cheat, swayed home with his hands lightly, acting out the prideful feeling.
"Mom?"
Naruto took out his keys to open the door and found that there were no shoes in the entryway.
'Has Mom gone out on a mission?'
Naruto dejectedly changed into indoor shoes and entered the house, then turned on the lights.
The living room was empty.
'Mom's not here, Dad's working late again. Does this mean I'm having instant noodles for dinner tonight? This is so miserable... Fortunately, I have hands and feet.'
Naruto quickly ran to his parents' bedroom, and found quite a bit of small change while searching.
'I wonder if this is Dad's private stash of money.'
Naruto stuffed the money into his pockets, humming a tune, and quickly went downstairs: Ichiraku Ramen tonight!
…
The other side.
Sasuke had locked himself in his bedroom since returning from the river, and it wasn't until dinner time that he was called out by his mother.
"Mom, I have no appetite." Sasuke's eyes had a few bloodshot lines, and he looked listless.
"Even if you don't have an appetite, you still need to eat dinner, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Mikoto pulled Sasuke into the living room and served him a bowl of rice for dinner.
Fugaku sat at the main seat, slowly enjoying his meal. Without looking up, he asked: "Is it because Itachi that you are in a bad mood?"
Sasuke kept his head down and asked: "Is Big Brother not coming back for dinner?"
"Sasuke, Itachi went out of the village to do a mission. He will definitely not come back tonight." Mikoto said with a smile.
'Not coming back.'
'Big brother won't be back tonight…'
'He, he'll be spending the whole night with that woman named Uchiha Izumi?'
'Damn it!!'
Sasuke gnashed his teeth, veins bulging on his temples: 'Ever since I entered the Academy, Big brother has never spent the whole night with me!'
'Big brother really doesn't love me anymore…'
In an instant, Sasuke's heart shattered, and he silently picked at his rice with his chopsticks.
"Sasuke, don't just eat without paying attention… Eh? Sasuke, your eyes…" Mikoto suddenly exclaimed.
Fugaku glanced over, not too concerned, and said: "You've known that Sasuke awakened his Sharingan long ago, didn't you understand, he… Eh? Wait!"
Fugaku suddenly noticed something strange, and upon closer inspection, he was shocked to find that Sasuke's left eye had two tomoes instead of one!
'Wasn't it just one tomoe last time?'
'It actually evolved again in such a short time?'
Mikoto looked towards Fugaku, her eyes had a hint of worry, and she asked in a low voice: "Fugaku, Sasuke is so small, yet he already has two-tomoe on both eyes, should we be concerned that something's wrong with his body?"
"Idiot! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Fugaku is dissatisfied, "Whether it's Itachi or Sasuke, they are both my, Uchiha Fugaku's sons! Isn't it normal for them to possess such talents?"
'Fugaku, what you said make sense, I can't refute it…' Mikoto forced a smile, but her gaze toward Sasuke was still somewhat worried.
"Sasuke, although both of your Sharingan have evolved to two-tomoe, you still need to work hard in your training, understand?" Fugaku said sternly.
"Un." Sasuke faintly responded. If this were any other time, he would have been excited for half a day over this, but now that he just discovered he had been 'abandoned' by his 'neglectful' brother, he was feeling heartbroken and couldn't muster any happiness.
...
The night grew deeper.
Naruto, who had eaten three large bowls of Ichiraku Ramen, slowly made his way home with a full stomach.
'Dad should be back now, I must surprise him!'
Upon returning home, Naruto indeed saw his dad's shoes at the entrance, 'Huh, Mom's back too?'
Naruto changed into indoor shoes and walked into the living room at a leisurely pace. Then, he saw his father and mother talking in the living room.
"Mom, Dad, I'm back." Naruto said with a grin.
"Naruto, have you eaten dinner?" Minato turned his head and asked with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Naruto nodded repeatedly and patted his plump belly happily, then said: "Today, I ate a lot because I learned a very powerful Ninjutsu."
"A Ninjutsu?" Kushina asked in surprise, "What Ninjutsu did your Kanpū-sensei teach you?"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto said proudly.
"What?" Minato and Kushina looked at each other in shock.
"Hehe, neither dad nor mom believes it, right?" Naruto immediately formed a hand seal and shouted, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Wait, Naruto!" Minato instinctively wanted to stop him.
But from the moment Naruto entered the house, he had been eager to show off. So at this time, he could no longer care about his father's call. At the next moment, a series of blasts were heard and series of light smoke exploded on both sides of Naruto.
"How is it?"
"This is Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"I mastered it in an instant!"
"Hahahaha, the two idiots, Karin and Hinata can't learn it no matter what, I really am genius!"
Naruto and his shadow clones were laughing wildly, but they didn't notice Kushina's anger. The veins on her forehead was getting more and more ferocious.
"Naruto…" Kushina's face muscles kept twitching.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is the Forbidden Technique recorded on Scroll of Seals. The reason why it is called Forbidden Technique is because using it could be fatal.
As a result, Kanpū actually dared to teach such technique to Naruto, and Naruto also dared to learn it …
'Are they seeking death?'
Kushina then stepped forward and beat them up!
Bang, bang, bang, bang…
She slapped them one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the dozens of her sons in the living room had turned into smoke.
Kushina looked around and found that her sons had been scattered by her.
"Where is Naruto?" Kushina turned and looked towards Minato.
Minato gestured towards the stairs with his mouth, and the husband and wife immediately rushed upstairs and Kushina violently broke the door of Naruto's bedroom. Suddenly, the sound of beating accompanied by Naruto's screams was heard from upstairs.
Minato shook his head and smiled wryly.
Compared with Kushina's fearful heart, Minato quickly calmed down after an initial worry. After all, the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style in Naruto's body was set by him personally. With this seal, Kyubi's Chakra would be constantly refined and extracted for Naruto's use, so Naruto, who has plenty of Chakra, will not face any danger when he used Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
At most, he might pass out due to memory shock when the clones are dispelled, but with Naruto's thick nerves, Minato felt that this probability was almost zero.
However, be that as it may, Minato won't stop Kushina. After all, who told Naruto to take all the small money he hid in the bedroom?
He thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, but he still couldn't defend against thieves day and night!
Minato sighed in his heart.
