Naruto, Time of Dawn

Li Xiao walked in front of Naruto with a bag of snacks in one hand and a three-color meatball in the other hand, willing to nibble on it, looking as cute as a little squirrel.

Naruto, on the other hand, was a bit complicated.Although he knew that eating too much ramen was not good, he still wanted to take his children to try Ichiraku Ramen.But this kid didn't give him any chance. With his delicate and cute face that made people and gods angry, he found an old lady selling tomatoes and started acting cute. He would answer whatever they asked. After knowing that the three-color meatballs were well received, he Then he walked to the shop selling three-color meatballs.

Yes, it’s three-color meatballs!Because Konoha is under the control of the daimyo, even if there is tea flowing in, it will only be crude tea.The taste is barely acceptable for making tea, but for eating...it's really unimaginable.Therefore, the little guy had no choice but to settle for these three-color meatballs and some other desserts.

Although Naruto was really happy to see Li Xiao's satisfied smile, was it really okay to eat dessert like this?

With such an extremely delicate mood, Naruto, who is almost 21 years old, is also very helpless as a father.

However, there was really not much time left for him to sigh. Now he had to find a way to wake up Grandma Tsunade first.He knew the power of the broken branches of the sacred tree, and it was easy to peel them off, but there was really nothing he could do about this tailed beast's chakra.

In this regard, the Nine-Tails, who had lived for who knows how long, had the most say. The arrogant big fox flicked the Nine-Tails behind him, and first mocked Naruto's IQ very hard to repay Naruto for three days. Both sides showed off their sons' personal hatred towards it.Then get to the point.

Although the process was somewhat difficult, fortunately Kyuubi was still very reliable and the solution had been determined.

Grandma Tsunade was seriously injured. Secondly, the first thing that bore the brunt was the tailed beast chakra in Grandma Tsunade.The tailed beast chakras collided with each other in Grandma Tsunade's body, causing her own chakra flow to become disordered and causing great damage to her veins. Moreover, most of the tailed beast chakras were raging and brutal, and if they could not be controlled, they would hurt themselves.The superposition of the two caused the mother-in-law to fall into a coma.As long as the tailed beast's chakra is extracted and supplemented with medicine, it won't be a problem to wake up.As for trauma and damaged tendons... they can only be recuperated slowly.

However, it is better to let the tailed beast extract the chakra by itself.In order to avoid losing control of the power during the extraction process and injuring Grandma Tsunade.

Thinking about it, he arrived at the door of his house.Naruto suddenly squatted down to look at the child's level, and then rubbed Li Xiao's little head,

"Li Xiao, dad needs your help with something."

"it is good."

Li Xiao agreed simply. He really really wanted to help his father.He knew how hard his father worked, so he wanted to share, even just a little bit.

"Help me get the side medicine and get it ready tomorrow morning and send it to the hospital."

Naruto said it seriously, which made Li Xiao understand that the person lying on the hospital bed before was very important to his father.

"Got it." Li Xiao responded, grabbing the big hand on his head with one hand. It was still as generous and warm as in his memory. Once he held it, he would indulge in it and never wanted to let go.

"Dad, please remember to pay attention to safety no matter what you do."

Naruto chuckled, holding the child's hand and interlocking the fingers with each other. He bent his index finger on the other hand and lightly traced the tip of Li Xiao's nose, his voice was fondly teasing.

"Hey, I really can't hide anything from you!"

"Hey! Stupid dad!" The little guy returned to his previous cool look.

Naruto wasn't angry either, he just continued to explain

"Ara, don't worry. I just went to the hospital to see Grandma Tsunade. There will definitely be no danger."

"It's not just a look," Li Xiao was very sure, "it's a treatment. Stupid dad."

"Shh-"

Naruto suddenly picked up Li Xiao, entered the house, and locked it.

"dad?"

Naruto confused Li Xiao this time.After making sure that there was no suspicious chakra nearby, he started to warn his children.

"Li Xiao, there is a traitor in the village, so you must be careful recently, especially those who are secretive. Do not provoke them unless necessary. Be especially careful with a person named Shimura Danzo."

"I know, don't worry dad." Li Xiao was very smart, even if Naruto didn't reveal too much, he could still guess a lot.Since he was specifically warned, that person named Shimura Danzo must not be a kind person.

"I'm just a child with small goals. No one will pay special attention to me, but dad. If the other person's target is the mother-in-law lying in the hospital, then dad may be in danger."

Naruto nodded, indicating that he understood

His child is always so gentle and mature to the point that it makes him feel bad.

"It's okay! Dad is very powerful." Naruto gave a comforting smile.Try to reassure Li Xiao.

"Hey! Can you two please stop ignoring me?! You have already left all the cleaning work to me! Now that I can finally take a break, you are still performing a drama of father-son affection in front of me! Can't you just calm down for a while?! Do you think shadow clones have no human rights? Do you know that I also have a temper!"

The roar similar to the lion's roar skill was none other than the shadow clone who was left behind to clean the house.At this moment, he was planning to talk and express his dissatisfaction.

Before Naruto could think of how to reply, the little guy beside him spoke.

"It was the hospital you asked me to go to at the beginning, and you are my father's shadow clone, which is barely half of my father. So why are you angry? Or do you also want me to hug you?"

The words, which had no emotional ups and downs at all, successfully made one of the two Narutos shiver, while the other turned his head and snickered.

The shadow clone naturally saw that the main body was trying its best to suppress the urge to laugh, but it couldn't hold back its anger and came up.Immediately roll up his sleeves and move forward

"You're still laughing! In a sense, we are the same person. Which side are you on?"

"Sorry," Naruto couldn't help but smile even more.

"The physical strength of the immortal body is very variable. So it's not a big deal if you do more. So I'm on Li Xiao's side."

Shadow Fen rolled his eyes angrily.

Who is he doing this for?However, the fatigue he feels after the body technique is released will be reflected on his body!

Damn it!Where did the original body that didn’t like cleaning go?No, the main body still doesn't like cleaning, now I just let him do it for me!

In the end, he could only wave his hands feebly

"Forget it, forget it, there's really nothing you can do to control me."

"Don't you like him very much too?" Naruto was still smiling, but it was no longer the suppressed smile he had before.But it comes from the heart, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised, quiet, warm and peaceful.

"Hey..." A somewhat arrogant shadow whispered, "Do you know what it means to see through but not to tell?"

Naruto didn't pay attention, the shadow branch, body and personality were similar to the main body, just like another version of himself.Naturally, he would not be angry with himself.But Li Xiao was a little unhappy.

My father rarely has time to spend with me, why are you coaxing me?Why don't you disappear quickly!Daddy is mine! Mine!!!

Just do it.But Li Xiao is not the caster, so it is naturally impossible to decode the seal.But... there is a more direct way.

So Li Xiao, who wanted to dominate his father, immediately slashed the reflection clone's body with a knife.

This is the most direct solution, quite simple and crude.

The white smoke cleared.Naruto shook his head helplessly.His children are smart, stable, and gentle.But sometimes he is very rebellious and naughty.But...it seems like he is the father, so why can't he control this naughty kid?

The little guy clapped his hands casually, very disapproving of it.

"Tell me. Dad, when do you plan to go to the hospital."

"Um... for safety reasons, I will go to the hospital at three o'clock in the morning. There will be relatively few people on duty at that time, so it is easier to do things." Naruto said this and shrank his neck in confidence, and had to stay up all night again. Akatsuki will definitely be unhappy again.

"That mother-in-law is the Hokage. She must have her own confidants. There is no need for dad to be so sneaky."

As Naruto expected, Li Xiao was indeed unhappy.At this moment, Li Xiao was complaining in all kinds of ways.

It’s not like the mother-in-law has no one around her anymore, so what if she turns out to be a traitor?With so many people watching dad, can't you just relax a little?

Naruto saw all the changes in the child's expression. He knew that the child felt sorry for him, but he had no idea to what extent the power in Danzo's hands had invaded the higher-ups. Moreover, Danzo was now temporarily acting as the First Hokage. If Danzo is determined to get rid of Granny Tsunade, once his plan is known to Danzo, he will definitely be unable to guard against it during the period of extracting chakra, and he will need a lot of herbs to regulate it later.Nothing can go wrong, that's all.

"Li Xiao. Danzo holds great power and it concerns my mother-in-law. I must be careful."

Li Xiao understands his father's temperament and is very stubborn. Once he figures it out, he won't look back even if he fights to the death.

My dad, why can't you take more care of yourself?Even a little bit is good.

"Dad, why do you care so much about your mother-in-law?"

"Because, Grandma Tsunade is really good to me."

Naruto hugged Li Xiao gently.After so many years, he worked so hard, but he still failed to shoulder the burden of his father well and take good care of Li Xiao. Instead, he often held the other person in his arms like this to seek a moment of peace.

"Li Xiao, do you know? I have been a Jinchuuriki since I was a child. In the eyes of the villagers, I am the incarnation of the Nine-Tails. I will bring disaster to them. They have always been afraid of me, afraid of me, and at the same time transferred their anger to me. They The look in my eyes was like looking at a monster. It was so cold that it was suffocating. But my mother-in-law was not the same. After she returned to the village, my mother-in-law tolerated my rebellion and was considerate of all my difficulties. She taught me a lot. Just like a family member. Do you understand? ?”

"Understood." Li Xiao hugged his father back and apologized to his father secretly deep in his heart. If he hadn't asked, his father would not have recalled this past.

"By the way, my mother-in-law also saved Li Xiao. It's just that Li Xiao doesn't know!" Taking a deep breath, Naruto felt that he needed to let his mother-in-law leave a good impression on Li Xiao, so that Li Xiao would also have one more Relatives.

"She...saved...me?"

Li Xiao was very confused. His memory had always been very good.But he really had no impression of this Granny Tsunade at all.

"Yes." Naruto pinched Li Xiao's cheek

"Before Li Xiao was born, Li Xiao was only 23 days old at that time. If it weren't for my mother-in-law, I would have lost Li Xiao."

"Is that so? Then..." Li Xiao thought of something and was talking excitedly but suddenly stopped, and his blue eyes dimmed a lot in an instant.

"What?" The child's sudden pause worried Naruto.

"It's nothing, I just feel that I really should thank Grandma Tsunade, otherwise how could I have met such a good father?" Li Xiao gave Naruto a bright smile, and his delicate and gentle eyebrows always gave Naruto an illusion. , the illusion of seeing an old friend.An old friend whom I have been indebted to for a long, long time.It's a pity that an old friend has been gone for too long.Maybe this really is just an illusion.An illusion caused by longing.

"Then Li Xiao, just behave well. My Li Xiao is so cute and beautiful, Grandma Tsunade will definitely like you very much."

"What! Stupid dad, how can cute and beautiful be used to describe boys!"

The little guy puffs out his cheeks and looks very cute, which suits him very well.

"What's the matter?"

Naruto didn't have the slightest sense of using the wrong words.

"My Li Xiao is very beautiful."

The cheeky father Li Xiao is really helpless, just like his father often can't do anything to him.There was nothing he could do about his occasionally shameless father.

Li Xiao pushed Naruto towards the kitchen and tried his best to avoid this topic.

"Dad, hurry up and cook. Do you really want to make dessert for dinner?"

Naruto did not prick the child's already red ears, and followed the child's strength towards the kitchen.

These years outside have not been in vain.In addition to making a lot of extra money, his cooking skills also made a qualitative leap.Although it is still far away from delicious food.But it’s not so much that you can’t eat it.In other words, his cooking skills, Uzumaki Naruto, have barely reached the passing level after years of experience.

I sincerely thank Li Xiao for not being a picky eater.Otherwise, Naruto would have been predictably miserable in the past few years.

Li Xiao, who returned to the small room, closed the door, slid down against the door and finally shrank into a ball.He actually wanted to ask his mother.But that time when he asked this question, his father's expression was so complicated that his heart sank severely.It made him so distressed that he didn't know how to express his inner pain.So he no longer dared to mention it.But this still cannot stop his desire for his mother.Which mother-in-law...she saved herself when she was 23 days old.Does that mean she knows her mother?

When Li Xiao got up, Naruto had already left.It's gray outside.It makes people feel sad.

In fact, he didn't sleep all night. He knew when his father went to bed and when he left.That night, no one could feel his nervousness, embarrassment, and uneasiness.

That mother-in-law is about to wake up.Just...he asks.Then he can find out who his mother is.

God, please.Give me the courage to face everything.

Li Xiao's natural intelligence allowed him to feel his mother's love for him.That kind of expectation, love and cherishing is exactly the same as Naruto's father.Such a gentle mother would definitely not really ignore him.Just like what my father said, my mother has always been with me, but I just didn't realize it.But he was so scared, afraid that his father would lie to him.I'm afraid that my mother has left long ago, even if... my father once said with certainty that my mother is still alive.

"Kid, are you really okay?"

It was the consciousness belonging to the big fox that was sealed in his body.

"Well, thank you! Big fox, you didn't tell dad."

"...Kid, there are some things you shouldn't be too persistent about."

"Big Fox, what... do you want to say?" Li Xiao asked back. He had always known that Big Fox knew about his mother, but every time he asked Big Fox, he didn't get any answer, and it was the same this time.

"Let's make some medicine first."

See...still can't ask anything.

In the hospital, fiery red chakra continued to swim through the meridians of the Fifth Hokage.Naruto on the side, or should he call it Nine Tails, is controlling this power to expel the chakra of other tailed beasts in Tsunade's body.

In addition, there is another person in the ward, the former Anbu, An.

Naruto found An early in the morning, and after learning that An knew a lot of illusions, he dragged An over and placed illusions throughout the ward to confuse the other people who were monitoring the ward.

The chakra of a tailed beast is domineering after all, let alone the chakra of so many animals mixed together.This makes Nine Tails, the leader of the tailed beasts, feel even more pressure.

Eviction is relatively simple, but how to decompose it is a difficult problem.This is different from the previous broken branches of the sacred tree. The last time was in the forest, and Naruto also has a certain understanding of the power of the sacred tree. He can extract the power of the broken branches of the sacred tree and direct it into the surrounding trees.Now, he only had a partial understanding of the chakra of the tailed beasts, and it was impossible for the Nine-Tails to control these chakras for too long due to the restrictions set by the Sage of Six Paths.If you are not careful, it will explode and destroy Konoha.

"Xiaojiu, expel it into my body. I can use my chakra to turn it into my own use."

Deep in the world of consciousness, Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, water swaying under him.

Time is passing by minute by minute, we can't keep dragging it on like this.

The fox in front did not refuse or agree immediately. After a long time, he said

"Are you sure? Although you do have a lot of chakra, assimilating that chakra will consume most of your chakra and cause some damage to your body. So have you really thought about it?"

"No problem, just do it. Nine trumpets, trust me."

Well, every time Naruto called Kyuubi's full name, he had no intention of refuting.How else could it be?Just do it!

The Kyuubi followed Naruto's wishes and drove the tailed beast chakra into Naruto's body.

It was really difficult to control so much tailed beast chakra. As soon as it entered Naruto's body, it began to disrupt Naruto's chakra trajectory.The pain also began to tear at Naruto's consciousness, like the pain of thousands of ants eating his body.

This pain continued until the tailed beast chakra in Grandma Tsunade's body was completely eliminated.

As soon as it was over, Kyuubi immediately handed over control of his body to Naruto, allowing Naruto to stabilize his situation as quickly as possible.

"Naruto, are you okay?"

An, who had been guarding the whole time, did not dare to relax at all, so as soon as Naruto took back his chakra, he knew that there was a result.

"It's okay." Naruto now felt that his head was hurting and was about to explode.I had to rub my temples with my thumbs to relieve the pain.

"Naruto-kun, you should go back first. Your breath is very messy."

"It's okay, I'm fine. The tailed beast chakra in Grandma Tsunade's body has been eliminated. The rest just needs to be nursed back to health slowly."

Naruto stood up with support on his body. The immortal body was only a little better - it had strong recovery power and physical strength.It's just that now that large amount of chakra has been transferred to assimilate the tailed beast chakra, it can't be adjusted for a while.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Naruto felt that he should do something to prove that he was okay.However, An suddenly put his index finger to his lips and made a quiet gesture, then stepped back closer to the window.Turn over and jump out of the house.At the same time, the door to the ward opened.
