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

In the Hokage's office——

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly as he looked at Chi Qing who was reporting on the mission in front of him, but did not interrupt him.

Only after he finished speaking did Sarutobi nod and respond, "Thank you for your hard work, but why did you only send the shadow clones over? Where are you?"

Sarutobi knew that Chi Qing was not a child who did not know the importance of the matter, and there must be a reason why he only allowed the shadow clone to come.

Chi Qing's clone paused for a moment and then dropped his shoulders helplessly: "He was lying at home and fell asleep."

Sarutobi: "...I understand. Then take a long vacation. You've worked hard these years."

"Thank you, Hokage." Chi Qing scratched his head: "Regarding the matter of little Naruto, now that 'I'm' back, I hope you won't restrict his actions."

Sarutobi had expected him to say something like this: "As long as you don't go too far I'll pretend I didn't see anything."

"Yes." Chi Qing lowered his eyes: "I can last until tonight at most. If you have something important to talk to me about, you can 'force' wake me up."

"Ah."

After Chi Qing's clone finished his report, he said goodbye to the Hokage without staying any longer as there was nothing else to do and left through the gate.

Under a tree not far away, a black-haired boy seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

He was a little dazed when he saw Chi Qing, and when he approached, the words to greet him got stuck in his throat: "Where are you?"

It is not so easy to distinguish the shadow clones, but the Hokage with the strength of a Kage can feel the difference in the flow of chakra in his body.

As for Shisui, it was purely out of his understanding of Chi Qing.

Chi Qing's clone, who was identified at a glance, was slightly stunned: "Why can you see that?"

Shisui and Chi Qing's clones looked at each other: "Maybe you feel differently?"

Chi Qing's clone laughed: "Shisui's feeling is always quite accurate. I'm at home, still sleeping."

Knowing that Chi Qing was sleeping, Shi Shui felt a little regretful, then he thought of something and asked, "You haven't been able to rest well all these years, have you?"

Chi Qing's clone kept smiling and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Knowing the possible consequences, Shisui couldn't laugh. He looked at Chi Qing's clone, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he sighed: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you wake up. Remember to come find me when you wake up."

"Yes, I'll 'pass it on'." He waved goodbye to Shisui.

Before going back, Chi Qing's clone made a simple disguise and went to the street to buy clothes and toys that were suitable for the children at home.

The ones I bought a long time ago are still in the sealed scroll. The chakra possessed by Chi Qing's clone cannot unlock the seal, so I bought them again.

When he returned home carrying a bunch of things, he stood at the door and knocked.

Soon the sound of footsteps was heard.

Then there was a click and the door opened a little.

The little head peeked out through the crack in the door, and only opened the door when he confirmed it was Chi Qing: "Brother!"

He walked out and took the things from Chi Qing's hand. His sensible look moved Chi Qing's clone.

"I'm back." After entering the house and putting down the things, Chi Qing's clone rubbed little Naruto's head and said, "Thank you for taking care of the house. Little Naruto is so brave."

Naruto blushed at the compliment, enjoying the warmth of the hand on his head.

Chi Qing's clone took out the clothes and toys one by one and placed them in front of little Naruto: "A gift for you."

"For me?" Little Naruto looked up with disbelief in his eyes.
