Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

"On a mission?"

Hearing this word, Naruto's little head went blank for a moment.

He remembered his uncle saying that it was because of the mission that he was left alone in the orphanage for so long.

When Naruto thought about becoming a human again, his lips curled up and tears fell.

She didn't cry or make a fuss, but just shed tears silently, sobbed softly, and then wiped her tears roughly with the back of her hand.

"Uncle can't bear to leave you either." Chi Qing's heart ached as if it was being strangled: "But I promise you, I won't be away for too long this time. Grandpa Sarutobi promised me that he would let me come back often."

"Really? Can you really come back to see me often?"

"Really, really, when has your uncle ever lied to you?"

After getting the guarantee, the pent-up grievances instantly came out.

Chi Qing suddenly remembered the nursery rhyme that remained in her memory and hummed it softly.

She didn't stop until Naruto fell asleep: "Good night, baby."

……

The next morning, when the sky was just turning pale, Chi Qing felt the little fellow beside him carefully withdraw from his arms.

Feeling the soft touch on his cheek, Chi Qing almost couldn't help but open his eyes.

After the door was closed, he hugged the quilt and rolled around on the bed in an unadult-like manner.

"Ah~ Little Naruto is so cute~" Being kissed on the cheek or something like that directly touched Chi Qing's heart.

He walked lightly, wanting to see what Naruto wanted to do so early in the morning.

Then I found him in the kitchen.

There was a bowl of water, a dish of salt and seaweed on the table.

There is also the rice that was cooked last night and kept warm.

Naruto scooped a little and put it in the palm of his hand: "It's so hot..." But he dodged it because it was too hot and it fell to the ground.

"Well...don't waste food!" Naruto picked up the food on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.

With the experience of the first time, he knew to blow it first and then let go after the second time.

After clumsily shaping it, a slightly rounded triangular rice ball was completed: "Put some more seaweed for the uncle~ Hee~"

"It's so tiring to do the mission. Only when the uncle is well fed can he be more energetic!"

Squatting on the ground with her hands covering her mouth, Chi Qing was so moved that she almost cried.

Whose three-year-old baby is so caring? It turns out it’s mine! It’s worth loving him!

Chi Qing let go of the footsteps after he reached the end of the corridor: "Little Naruto?"

Hearing the voice, Naruto responded and stopped what he was doing: "Uncle, I'm here!"

"Wow, are you making breakfast?" Chi Qing pretended to be surprised.

"Well! Make rice balls for uncle! This one is for eating at home, and I'm making another one for uncle to eat on the way when he's hungry~" Naruto grinned and looked like he was asking for praise: "I can already cook for myself, uncle, it's okay for me to look after the house alone, Naruto is a man!"

"Yeah! Naruto is a little man now. I feel so safe~" Chi Qing took the rice stuck on his face and said, "Shall we do it together?"

"Good~"

In fact, how could Chi Qing feel at ease letting Naruto come alone to cook?

He had already prepared meals for the next five days last night. They were all semi-finished products that could be heated directly in the microwave.

"If you finish eating and your uncle hasn't come back yet, go eat your favorite ramen. Your uncle has already told Uncle Ichiraku." He taught Naruto how to use the microwave and told him to use the baking gloves or towels placed next to him when taking out the heated food, otherwise he would get burned.

"Uncle will leave soon, you have to wait for me to come back." Chi Qing was a little reluctant.

Naruto shook Chi Qing's arm and looked at him pitifully, "Can I take you to the gate?"

I couldn't refuse, so I could only nod in agreement.
