[Naruto Shisui bg] Maxwell Haruka

"Yao, it's time for dinner." Kushina stood at the door and waved to Haruka, who was sitting among a pile of scrolls and was reading a scroll.

"I see, Sister Kushina, come now." Hearing the voice, Haruka straightened the scrolls beside her and immediately stood up, obediently walking to the dining table with Kushina.

Kushina smiled and rubbed Haruka's soft red hair, she looked at Haruka sitting across from her, who was obedient and quiet, and suddenly remembered the time when she saw this child last month.

Kushina, who hadn't met Haruka before, knew from the third generation that a little girl from the same race as her had come to Konoha Village. Back then, Uzushio Village was feared by all the villages and countries, and it was only overnight. Many ninja villages and ethnic groups were destroyed, and the surviving clansmen were scattered in various countries and did not dare to gather again. She has not seen people from the Uzumaki clan for a long time. Although she has no obligation to take care of the orphans of the same clan, she still accepts it. The task of taking care of three-year-old Haruka.

Although Kushina readily accepted the task of raising and taking care of Haruka, she couldn't help but worry about whether she could take good care of the three-year-old child after that. She clearly knew that she was not a very careful person, and she was also very worried that suddenly Can Haruka, who has lost her loved one, accept herself as a stranger?

Jiu Xinnai's heart is very complicated, and it is accompanied by deep worries.

Worried Kushina met Namikaze Minato who had just returned to the village after completing a mission. Minato was always gentle and careful. He greeted Kushina and asked Kushina if he would like to have dinner together at night, Kushina Naturally, there was no objection and he agreed with a smile.

Kushina, who hasn't seen her lover for a long time, is rarely distracted at the dinner table.

"Kushina, is it because of the mission Hokage-sama gave you? That little girl from your clan?" Minato didn't blame Kushina for being distracted during the date. When he met Kushina on the road in the afternoon, he realized something was wrong with her. , Then Minato learned something from Hokage-sama when he went to Hokage Tower to submit a mission report.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I was a little absent-minded." Although Minato didn't blame her, Kushina still lowered her head in frustration.

"It's okay, I guess you must be worried about whether the child can accept you or not? Kushina, just be yourself, although Kushina you always have a strong temper and a bad temper, and you always lose everything. I always want to find someone to fight when I get angry..."

"Are you comforting me or venting your dissatisfaction with me? Minato!" Kushina slapped her hands on the table and stood up, shouting angrily towards Minato.

Minato shrank back, put his hands in front of his face, a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead, and quickly explained: "Wait, wait, Kushina, listen to me, so I don't think anyone in this world is better than me." I understand your tenderness better, and you also understand the feeling of coming to the village alone, don’t you, I believe that child will like you Kushina, so just be yourself, Kushina , don’t force yourself, and I will help you, take care of her together..."

"...Hmph, I know!" The blushing Kushina turned her head away, she sat back on the chair and looked at the sincere Minato with a smile and said softly: "Thank you, Minato..."

Although his tone was strong, Minato knew that she had forgiven him, his face turned red as if he had been infected by Kushina, and he coughed lightly and stroked his hair awkwardly.

"It's nothing, I'm your boyfriend..."

Hearing Minato's words, Kushina's cheeks warmed up again, she lowered her head and said falteringly: "Oh... oh... let's eat, let's eat."

-

Kushina got up early in the morning, still a little nervous, she took off her ninja uniform and chose a white skirt, hoping that she could look gentler, Kushina looked at herself in the mirror and thought silently .

Kushina, who seldom wears such elegant clothes, is always teased kindly by familiar people on the street on the way to Konoha Hospital.

"Oh! Is Kushina-chan going on a date? It's so beautiful!"

"No, no, it's a mission!" Kushina blushed and quickened her pace.

Kushina stood at the door of Konoha Hospital and waited for the third generation to lead Haruka out. She stood nervously at the door and paced back and forth. Even though Minato calmed her uneasy heart, various thoughts still filled Kushina in mind.

Then she saw the little girl with the same red hair as herself standing not far from her and staring at her blankly. Sure enough, the white skirt didn't suit her, did she not like me?Kushina thought dejectedly in her heart.

The light weight that suddenly fell on her body interrupted Jiuxinna's wild thoughts. It was the little girl who ran over to hug her, and she subconsciously hugged the little guy who was hugging her tightly.

"Mother…"

This was the first and last time Kushina heard Haruka calling her mother in such a sad voice.

After an introduction by the third generation, Kushina led Haruka home.

Different from what I imagined, Haruka is neither a crying child nor a child who closes herself and doesn't like to talk. On the contrary, she is a very quiet and considerate child who always smiles, maybe it's just herself It can't be seen whether she has closed her heart. In short, this child will never do things that bother her, and she is a very worry-free child.

Seeing Haruka like this, Kushina couldn't help but want to give her more love and care. She hoped that the child would grow up carefree, so when Haruka was interested in ninjutsu, she opened her eyes wide and watched When looking at herself, Kushina explained to her from the basics without hesitation.

Kushina, who was ordered by the third generation to be both a caretaker and an observer, said so when she asked Haruka in a low voice why she was interested in ninjutsu.

"Sister Jiuxinna, I don't want to see important people die in front of my eyes anymore. I hate my powerless self. I want to become stronger and protect the people I cherish."

It was clearly said from the mouth of a three-year-old child who has not yet shed the baby fat, but Kushina couldn't take it as a child's joke, because the sadness and seriousness in the words were obvious even to such a dull Kushina The feeling of arriving.

In fact, Kushina doesn't have much time to take care of Haruka. It's been seven years since the Second Ninja World War ended, but the villages are still ready to move. In this uneven time, there are more tasks and fewer ninjas, not to mention the main income of ninjas. The source is to complete the tasks. Kushina has tried to take as few tasks as possible, but it is still unavoidable to let Haruka stay at home alone.

Although Haruka said that he could take good care of himself, it would be good to let Kushina let his heart do the task, but the more considerate and worry-free Haruka, the more Kushina couldn't bear to let the little Haruka stay at home alone.

After going through Kushina's explanation, Haruka still has little understanding of the ninja system. Even if he accepts the magical system of ninjutsu psychologically, he lived for two years in the ordinary world where such magical ninjutsu did not exist in his last life. For more than ten years, she still can't understand such a magical thing as Chakra cognitively.

It is really strange for a three-year-old child to go to the library to read books, so in order to enrich her own cognition and to make Kushina feel less guilty, she asked Kushina, who was always lying at the door to peek at her from time to time, to help her. Find more scrolls and books.

After getting along for a short time, Kushina has more or less realized that Haruka is a smart child, but the fact of being familiar with various books made Kushina realize that Haruka may be much smarter than she imagined, but this is in The world of ninjas is actually not that frightening and mundane. It is not particularly rare for children from big families to show amazing talents since they were young.

"Sister Kushina, why don't you eat?" Haruka looked at Kushina who was in a daze and asked suspiciously.

Kushina suddenly came back to his senses and showed a smile: "It's nothing, I thought about something."

"I'm gonna start now."

"Ah! By the way, I have a mission tomorrow, but don't worry, don't you want to learn ninjutsu! I found some good teachers for you!" Kushina suddenly said to Haruka with a smile.

"??? How many... How many? Who is it?" Haruka suddenly became a little nervous. Speaking of Konoha, she hadn't seen many people except Sandaime, Kushina's sister, and Minato-san who occasionally came over.

"Hmm... secret~ Just look forward to it!"

"...Ah, well..."

It was very rare to see Haruka's bewildered look, Kushina felt very strange, rubbed Haruka's soft hair and laughed happily.
