Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

"Kushina!"

Asakawa Naoki hugged the girl who rushed over. In the eyes of many Konoha ninjas and civilians, he embraced her. The girl, who was originally very brave, had a red face that turned as red as her red hair.

Without saying a word, the girl buried her face in Asakawa Naoki's arms.

At the front of the crowd, there was a reserved black-haired girl who just watched there, with a smile on her face, but her black pupils were full of tenderness and affection.

"Mikoto!"

Asakawa Naoki waved to Uchiha Mikoto, then apologized to Nawaki and the others, and left the team of returning ninjas with Kushina first, leaving behind a group of envious eyes.

It's just that they don't know whether they envy Uzumaki Kushina who was held in Asakawa Naoki's arms, or Asakawa Naoki who has such close childhood friends as Kushina and Mikoto.

Holding Kushina in one hand, Asakawa Naoki squeezed through the crowd, and with the other hand, he pulled Mikoto and ran out.

Soon, the three finally got rid of the surging crowd and came to the interior of Konoha Village.

Because many villagers went outside the village to welcome the returning ninja team, there were not many people in Konoha Village, and the streets were somewhat empty.

It was not until this time that Asakawa Naoki had time to take a good look at the two girls.

After more than a year, Kushina has grown a lot taller, and the immaturity on her face has almost faded. Now Kushina is beginning to move towards the youthfulness of a girl.

Mikoto, who is older than Kushina, is nearly 1.6 meters tall, tall, and beautiful. Her temperament is gentle and a little cold. I am afraid that she is already a cold beauty in the mouth of many people.

It can be seen that both of them have dressed up carefully today. Kushina is wearing a red dress, which looks energetic, while Mikoto is wearing a kimono, which adds a bit of solemnity and beauty.

"Naoki, it's time to put me down." Kushina said in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Oh, you know you're shy now." Asakawa Naoki smiled after putting Kushina down.

"Humph, it's because I miss you. I won't hug you next time!" Kushina turned her head away.

But with her blushing face and soft voice, it was not convincing at all.

"Okay, I apologize," Asakawa Naoki said sincerely, "I shouldn't leave for so long next time."

"It's okay if Naoki-kun returns safely." Mikoto smiled.

"Well, to celebrate, I'll treat you to a big meal at the most expensive restaurant in Konoha!" Asakawa Naoki smiled.

"Next time, grandpa knows you're coming back today, so he's going to welcome us back and let us go back to eat," Mikoto smiled, "Kushina, come along too!"

"Okay, grandpa Mikoto's cooking skills are very good." Kushina nodded.

"Okay then." Asakawa Naoki nodded.

This place is not far from the Uchiha clan, but the three did not choose to use chakra to travel quickly. Instead, they chatted while walking. It took the three of them an hour to reach the place that usually takes only half an hour.

However, in this warm atmosphere, even if they walk for another two hours, they will not think it is slow.

"Haha, Naoki, you are finally back," Mikoto's grandfather Uchiha Katsumi laughed happily:

"During the year you were away, my Mikoto often said that she missed you."

"Grandpa!"

Looking directly at Asakawa Naoki's affectionate eyes, even though Uchiha Mikoto, who is usually a little cold, couldn't help but blush on her fair face.

"I can prove that Mikoto did say it!" Kushina said with a sly smile.

Mikoto glanced at Kushina, not expecting her best friend to say that. She immediately used the self-destructing truck tactic to drag Kushina down with her and said:

"Humph, Kushina said that too!"

"Oh?" Asakawa Naoki looked at Kushina with a smile on his face, and her face, which had just calmed down, turned red again. He said frankly:

"I said it, I missed you anyway!"

Looking at the shyness and tenderness in the eyes of the two, Asakawa Naoki felt the warmth of home so deeply for the first time.

"Don't worry, I won't be away for so long in the future." Asakawa Naoki said seriously.

Kushina and Mikoto wanted to say something, but Grandpa Mikoto had already brought the hot meals.

"Naoki has been outside for more than a year. You must have worked hard. Come and eat." Grandpa Mikoto smiled, and he felt a little emotional.

When they first met, Asakawa Naoki was just a student at a ninja school. Although he was mature, he was still very immature in his eyes.

Less than three years after graduating from the Ninja School, Asakawa Naoki has already lost his childishness and become a powerful ninja in Konoha.

Everyone knows about Asakawa Naoki's achievements, but who knows how much he has paid for them.

"Thank you, Grandpa, let's eat first." Asakawa NaokiSmiled.

"Well, let's eat first." Mikoto nodded.

In a big family like Uchiha, the family rules are generally very strict, and not talking when sleeping or eating is the basis.

But Asakawa Naoki had just returned, and the few people were also happy. They talked about the interesting experiences of the past year while eating. In addition, Grandpa Mikoto's cooking skills were really good, and the meal took more than half an hour.

"I'll go wash the dishes, you guys chat."

After the meal, Grandpa Mikoto took over the dishwashing business to make room for his granddaughter and Asakawa Naoki.

"Mikoto, Grandpa can only help you here!"

"Whether you and Kushina can succeed depends on you!"

After more than a year, the three of them obviously had countless things to say.

After Grandpa Mikoto went to the kitchen, the three of them had no worries and lay side by side on the sofa to chat, which made Asakawa Naoki feel like he was back home.

At the same time, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just received the front-line commander Hatake Sakumo and his two disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya, was not in such a good mood after listening to the Anbu report.

"You mean, Asakawa Naoki went to the Uchiha clan with Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto as soon as he came back?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a frown.

"That's right, Hokage!" The Anbu ninja nodded.

"Okay, you go down." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said.

"Yes! Hokage!"

After speaking, the Anbu ninja left the Hokage's office, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but pick up the pipe and took a puff.

Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto are both Tsunade's disciples, so he couldn't interfere.

I didn't expect that Asakawa Naoki and Uchiha Mikoto had such a good relationship. He didn't come to the Hokage's office to report when he came back, but went directly to the Uchiha clan.

The two Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are both close to the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit, the Sharingan, is the nemesis of the tailed beasts.

This is not good.

This Asakawa Naoki is a bit young and frivolous, maybe he needs to be taught a lesson.
