Chapter 1010: Naruto, You're Such a Devoted Son!
Chapter 1010: Naruto, You're Such a Devoted Son!
Naruto, who had been persistently clinging to Jiraiya, was thrilled when he learned that the perverted sage had arranged for him to temporarily train under Yecheng, and even accompany him on missions. Naruto instantly calmed down and proudly shared this news with Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke, however, had a different reaction. Upon hearing that Naruto would be training with Yecheng, Sasuke's heart stirred with anticipation. He sought out Kakashi, hoping to join the mission and receive guidance from Yecheng.
Sasuke's intention was simple; he wanted to seize this opportunity to request Yecheng's mentorship.
When Orochimaru and the Sunagakure invaded Konoha, Yecheng's displayed strength was witnessed by the entire village.
Sasuke believed that even if he could acquire just a fraction of Yecheng's abilities, he would be capable of successfully completing his revenge.
Regarding Sasuke's request, Kakashi felt rather helpless. He knew that his influence might not hold much weight with Yecheng, so he turned to Rin for help.
Both Kakashi and Rin understood that compared to Obito, Sasuke's obsession with avenging the Uchiha clan was even stronger.
The one who had slaughtered the Uchiha clan was none other than Sasuke's older brother, Uchiha Itachi. Although Obito had some sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan, after his grandmother's passing, he had become an outcast within the clan.
Rin, feeling sympathy for Sasuke's situation as the sole remaining "true" Uchiha, approached Yecheng to plead on Sasuke's behalf.
On Yecheng's side, he initially had no intention of taking on any additional responsibilities. After all, going on missions alone meant more freedom and less pressure, and he could even visit and comfort the fallen women during his spare time.
Now, with a few additional brats in tow, he not only had to ensure their safety but also teach them. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?
However, when Yecheng tried to refuse, Kushina, standing nearby, became upset. She had already endured Naruto pestering Yecheng to take him as a disciple, and now, with Naruto accompanying Yecheng on a mission and learning a few things, it seemed unreasonable for Yecheng, as an uncle, to keep declining.
Facing Kushina's anger, Yecheng felt helpless and could only reluctantly agree to take Naruto along.
Just then, Rin arrived with Sasuke, seeking Yecheng's help.
Yecheng thought, "Since I'm already babysitting, does it matter if it's one kid or two?" So, he decided to do his disciple a favor.
Naruto and Sasuke, both from Team 7, were going to train with Yecheng, leaving Sakura feeling dejected at being left behind.
As a result, what was initially a solo mission for Yecheng transformed into a team mission.
Kushina had also wanted to join, as this was her first opportunity to go on a mission with her son.
Unfortunately, Minato's investigation seemed to have encountered some issues, so Kushina had to rush to provide support.
The next day, as Yecheng gathered Naruto and the others at the Konoha gates, Kushina repeatedly emphasized the importance of keeping Naruto safe.
"White-haired uncle, was that lady your wife just now?" Naruto, ever the extrovert, curiously asked Yecheng upon witnessing Kushina's persistent reminders.
Having gained a rough understanding of Yecheng's identity through the perverted sage and Kakashi's explanations, Naruto was curious to know more.
However, despite being constantly by Yecheng's side, the masked female ninja remained a mystery to both Kakashi-sensei and the lecherous sage.
Rin seemed to know something, but whenever she was asked, she would only smile without answering.
Upon hearing Naruto's question, Yecheng couldn't help but glance at him and let out a bitter smile.
"You're such a filial son... I guess you don't like your father's title, 'Golden Flash,' and want him to be 'Green Flash,' right?"
"She's not my wife, but she's someone very important to me. And I'm not the White-Haired Uncle; let me introduce myself first.
My name is Senju Yachiyo, and I'm the leader of this squad. You can call me by my name or Captain, whichever you prefer."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Sasuke and Sakura nodded in understanding, while Naruto pouted and said, "You say you're not lovers, but the relationship is so good. Do you think we're kids and easy to fool?
I think Uncle Yecheng is planning to abandon that sister after starting a relationship with her..."
Before Naruto could finish his grumbling, Sasuke and Sakura beside him covered his mouth.
They knew Naruto was straightforward, but they didn't expect him to be so clueless.
Although Sasuke and Sakura also sensed the deep connection between Yecheng and the female ninja they had just met, gossip was gossip, but he shouldn't have blurted it out like that!
After all, she was a formidable figure who could fight against several Hokages. What if they angered her?
"You, you brat, don't say unnecessary things..."
Sasuke covered Naruto's mouth while secretly observing Yecheng's expression.
In Sasuke and Sakura's eyes, strong individuals possessed a certain temper and dignity. They worried that Naruto's foolish actions might provoke Yecheng.
Sakura might have let it slide, but Sasuke was now extremely anxious. He had been thinking about how to build a good relationship with Yecheng, hoping to receive guidance and gain the power for his revenge.
But before he could even start implementing his plan, Naruto, this idiot, had already messed things up from the beginning!
As Sasuke and Sakura held Naruto's head and mouth, Yecheng, on the other hand, revealed a kind smile and looked at Naruto seriously, saying, "It's okay, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm not someone who gets angry easily.
However, Naruto, I would like you to repeat those words in front of that sister and my other friend next time.
To be honest, my other friend has always been my romantic rival, and he always relies on his sunny golden hair, thinking that he and Kushina... that sister are a perfect match.
So, I'd like to ask you, if you meet them again, please say, 'I, Uzumaki Naruto, believe that Senju Yachiyo and that sister are a better match!'"
As Yecheng spoke with a smile, a scene of Naruto acting as a filial son flashed through his mind, and it was bound to be amusing.
However, before that, it was necessary to make Naruto stronger. Otherwise, Yecheng was genuinely concerned that this filial son might not withstand his parents' super-combined attack...
