"Creak."
With the sound of the door opening, Watergate appeared outside the entrance.
"Dad, you're back!"
In the living room, Qian You quickly turned her head and smiled faintly at the water door that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Mhmm."
Watergate smiled and rubbed her soft golden hair. Qian You seemed to enjoy this process very much.
"I'll go heat up the food for you."
Shinna Kushina, who seemed to be knitting clothes, put down the things in her hands and stood up.
"Thank you," Watergate said.
"You're back so late today. You must be tired."
Shinna Kushina walked to Watergate, took off the haori of Fourth Daime-Sama Naruto, and put it on his arm and asked softly.
"It's okay."
Watergate smiled and turned his eyes to look at Naruto who was practicing in the living room.
"What's wrong today?"
He asked with a smile. In the past, when he came home, Naruto would be the first to welcome him.
But today, it was surprisingly quiet.
...
"Dad, I …" Naruto's eyes flickered.
Seeing that Naruto couldn't say it, Shinna Kushina said, "Naruto's exam ended today. His physical skills and Chakra were good, but his theoretical knowledge …"
Speaking of this, her expression was a little strange.
Others didn't know the reason, but Watergate knew it very well.
Because when he was in the Ninja Academy, Shinna Kushina's theoretical results never passed.
"Naruto handed in a blank paper, right?"
Watergate said with a smile. He was Naruto, how could he not know this?
"Mhmm …"
Naruto and Shinna Kushina responded softly at the same time, as if they had done something wrong at the same time.
This caused Watergate to be a little stunned. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't show such an expression. Everyone has things they are not good at."
"Naruto's physical skills results are one of the highest in the entire grade."
Seeing Watergate's reaction, Shinna Kushina and her son both breathed a sigh of relief.
To a certain extent, this could really be considered as a mother and son being connected by heart …
"However, although I'm not good at it, theoretical knowledge is also a part of the ninja needs to master, so even if I'm not good at it, I have to try my best to learn it. I can't slack off."
Watergate changed the topic. He didn't blame Naruto, but he didn't want Naruto to give up on learning theoretical knowledge.
If he doesn't learn enough in school, the lack of basic knowledge is likely to cost him more when he becomes a ninja in the future.
"Mhmm, I know." Naruto responded, but there was no confidence in his voice.
"I'll prepare dinner for you."
Shinna Kushina walked out of the living room and into the kitchen, and got busy.
Naruto finally put down the stone in his heart and was ready to continue his practice, but Watergate squatted beside him.
He turned his eyes.
Two pairs of eyes as beautiful as sapphires looked at each other. Watergate chuckled and said, "It's going to be the holiday soon. Have you thought about how to spend it?"
Naruto was stunned, shook his head and said, "I should continue to practice. I'm not at the time to relax yet."
Today's exam made Naruto feel great pressure.
Although except for theoretical knowledge, which was not very important, his results were among the best among the first-year students, but almost all of that was because he started practicing earlier than others and was guided by his father.
And Sakura, who didn't receive any guidance or training in advance, was able to tie with the genius Sasuke for the first place.
Watergate knew what Naruto was thinking, but he continued to say, "That being said, you are still young. You don't need to spend all your time on practice. You should occasionally relax yourself."
"But …" Naruto's lips squirmed.
"I know your concerns. In fact, you have to know that although practice is the only shortcut to improve a ninja's strength, but if you are in a state of practice for a long time, the efficiency of practice will be greatly reduced."
"This holiday is a month, even if you use it all to practice, but if you continue to practice like this, it will affect your future progress."
Watergate wasn't bluffing Naruto. Ninja's practice is not only physical strength, but also a test of energy all the time.
Naruto's background is a child who practices much earlier than other children.
During the day, he studies in the ninja school, and at night, he has to practice when he comes home. After all, ninjas are not machines. Even Watergate can't bear it.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to leave Naruto's childhood memories of boring practice forever.
And blindly practicing is more harmful than beneficial.
"Qianyou hasn't been with your brother for a long time, right?"
Seeing the hesitation in Naruto's eyes, Watergate smiled and glanced at Qianyou beside him.
The clever Qianyou immediately reacted and ran to Naruto's side, then took his arm and shook it slightly.
"That's right, I want my brother to play with me. No one has played with me for a long time."
With Qianyou's appearance, no one can resist when she acts coquettishly.
And since Qianyou was born, Naruto has been obedient to her and has never said a harsh word.
"Then … okay?" Naruto glanced at Watergate. The latter's eyes were gentle, and he finally nodded.
"Yay, that's great!"
Qianyou jumped up happily.
"What are you three talking about here? You're so happy. "
At this time, Shinna Kushina walked into the living room with hot food and smiled.
Watergate and the two children turned their eyes. The former first took the food from Shinna Kushina, and then told Shinna Kushina about the holiday he gave Naruto to relax.
Shinna Kushina was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Will Dad accompany us too?" Naruto asked expectantly. Sanyu on the side also looked forward to it.
"Sorry."
Watergate showed a trace of guilt and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time."
"Oh."
Naruto and Qianyou responded obediently. Although they were still young, they vaguely understood that their father was Naruto.
And Naruto had to think of everyone in the village, so he didn't have a holiday.
So Watergate didn't spend much time with them, but in the hearts of the two children, there was no estrangement at all.
In the hearts of the two siblings, they were proud that their father was the great Naruto.
"So, what's your plan?" Kushina's eyes looked at Minato, and there was a slight ripple in her eyes.
Watergate turned his eyes, looked at the two children, and said, "My preliminary plan is to let you walk around the various cities in the Fire Nation. If possible, you can also go to Tang No Guk to enjoy the hot springs there."
After a simple explanation of the plan, Naruto and Qianyou's eyes were also filled with anticipation.
However, in the next moment, Watergate and his wife's expressions showed some guilt. The former took a deep breath and said again.
"Naruto, Qianyou, I'm sorry, but Mom can't accompany you on this trip."
