Saturday Chapter Admission is Coming (Ch 7)

A few days later, Kushina took Naruto to visit her best friend’s house. Before going there, Naruto didn’t know who this best friend of his mother was, but when he saw the little kid behind her, he finally knew who she was.

“Ah, this must be your Sasuke. I haven’t seen him for a few days and he has grown so big.”

Uchiha Mikoto also responded with a smile: “No, it’s your Naruto who is in great shape and tall.”

Speaking of this, Kushina’s face showed a proud expression.

“Hey, Naruto is tall, everyone around him says so.”

That’s right, the best friend that Kushina visited today was Itachi and Sasuke’s mother, the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Mikoto.

Unlike the lively and straightforward Kushina, Mikoto is a quiet beauty with long straight black hair. When she smiles, her eyes are curved and her mouth is slightly pursed, with not much movement.

In contrast, when Kushina smiles, she doesn’t care what people around her think, and does whatever she wants. Of course, Kushina also has her delicate side. Just look at Aunt Mikoto a few more times, and Kushina’s mother-specific jealous radar has been triggered.

“Look at you, Mikoto. You are so charming that you have mesmerized our little Naruto.”

“No, Naruto, he just hasn’t seen me before and is just curious. Right?”

“Mother!”

Naruto was embarrassed by what he said, so he stepped forward and grabbed Kushina’s arm to stop her from talking. Kushina was pulled so hard that she couldn’t sit still, and she quickly begged for mercy:

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything. I’m afraid of you.”

Mikoto smiled and said with emotion: “Your Naruto is really not afraid of strangers. Sasuke is far behind in this aspect. He only dares to talk to his brother at home. He is not even close to his father.”

“Yeah?”

Kushina raised an eyebrow and looked at Naruto with a little more fondness in her eyes.

“Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. Naruto is not afraid of strangers at all, whether at home or outside.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Naruto rolled his eyes privately. No, I am already in my early 20s after all my two lifetimes combined. I am already… a mature adult! Socializing is a piece of cake, okay?

“By the way, didn’t you ask me to help you keep an eye out for some young girls in the tribe? Who are you planning to find a partner for?”

“Ah, I would have forgotten if you hadn’t told me! Do you remember Minato’s former disciple, Kakashi from the Hatake family?”

“Oh, that’s the handsome boy with white hair!”

At this point, the two of them burst into laughter, and then enthusiastically started discussing Kakashi’s love life. Judging from their attitude, they would not give up until they found a few more blind dates for Kakashi.

However, Naruto had no interest in this. The two of them were destined to work in vain. Kakashi, that was destined to be alone. However, if Lin in this world was still alive, maybe…

While Naruto was thinking, Sasuke, who was behind Mikoto, curiously poked his head out. Naruto also noticed him. At this time, the young Sasuke did not have the cool temperament he would have when he grew up. His whole face was white and tender, and his two black eyes were like two black pearls.

Looking at his face, Naruto was sure how much trouble this face would cause when he grew up. In the normal world, Sasuke was a guy who didn’t like women, wasting this handsome face. But in this reversed world, Sasuke obviously had a different mentality.

When he grows up, he will adhere to the principle of solving quantity problems first and then quality problems, casting a wide net and catching more fish.

To Naruto’s surprise, the shy Sasuke, after repeatedly poking his head out, actually came out on his own initiative. He came to the table in the room, looked at the chessboard on the table, and then turned to look at Naruto.

Naruto stretched out his finger in confusion, pointed at himself and asked, “Well, do you want to play chess with me?”

Hearing Naruto’s words, Sasuke nodded calmly. Since Sasuke took the initiative to invite him, Naruto had no reason to refuse.

Sasuke invited Naruto to play a simple game called Othello, also known as reverse chess. The rules are very simple, the chess pieces are divided into black and white, and each side holds one color. When a chess piece of one color is surrounded by chess pieces of another color in a certain straight line, the colors of these chess pieces can be flipped.

In this rule, all directions of lines are valid, whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

It is important to note that every time you make a move, you must be able to flip the opponent’s piece. When you can no longer make a move, the two sides exchange turns and it is the opponent’s turn to make a move.

Finally, when neither side has any pieces to play, the game ends and the outcome is determined by the number of pieces. The side with more pieces wins.

If one player’s pieces are eaten up by the other player before the board is full, the game ends. The player who eats up all the opponent’s pieces wins.

Actually, the rules of this chess game are not difficult. Naruto had never played it before, but he learned it quickly. So, he said to Sasuke confidently, “Let’s start.”

“Um.”

Sasuke responded inaudibly, and then whispered, “Take the black flag and go first.”

Soon, the game began. At the beginning, Naruto was full of pride and looked relaxed, but soon, he was sweating profusely. Othello seemed simple, but there was still a clear gap between Naruto, who had just started, and Sasuke, who was experienced.

The two played several games in a row. Naruto would often make moves at the beginning and the situation would be very good, but in a certain round, Sasuke would turn all the pieces around for him.

After a few rounds of this, Naruto’s mentality completely collapsed. He threw the chess piece in his hand and muttered, “I don’t want to play anymore.”

He couldn’t download it anymore. If he continued playing, Naruto was afraid that he couldn’t control himself, so he replicated the actions of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, when he was a child.

Sasuke, who was cleaning up the chessboard, was obviously in a good mood. He was humming a little tune happily while cleaning up the chessboard. Seeing him like this, Naruto guessed, “Do you often play chess at home?”

After thinking for a while, Sasuke nodded. Naruto continued to ask: “With whom, Itachi?”

Sasuke nodded again. Naruto then asked, “Have you ever won?”

This time, Sasuke shook his head. Naruto was immediately furious: “Good fellow, so you can’t beat your brother, so you look for confidence in me?”

He didn’t expect that Sasuke was so scheming at such a young age. He wanted to rush home immediately, take out his little notebook, and make a note on it. You, Itachi, must be held responsible for this.

Thinking of this, Naruto walked out of the door angrily. Only Sasuke was left sitting in his original position, happily packing up the chessboard. Outside the door, Kushina and Mikoto had changed the topic countless times. After seeing the two little ones, they talked about school again.

“Your Naruto is now old enough. Have you enrolled him in a ninja school?”

“I’ve signed up, I’ll be going next month. Where’s your Sasuke?”

“Really? That’s great. Sasuke has also signed up, so the two little guys are from the same class. Maybe they’re even in the same class.”

“Why.”

Kushina sighed as she spoke.

“Come to think of it, this is Naruto’s first time going to school. Although this guy is a little naughty at home, I’m still a little uncomfortable when I think about him not being at home in the future.”

“Kushina, everyone goes through this. When Itachi went to school, I was also not used to it. Later, with Sasuke, it became much better. By the way, when are you going to have another child with Minato?”

Mikoto’s words made Kushina blush instantly. She said shyly, “Who wants to have another child with him? Naruto is already enough to worry me.”

Naruto interrupted at this time and said, “Mom, you are being too unfair to me. Then I will try to stay in school more often and not go home, so that you can have your own world with Dad.”

“Haha, Kushina, look at how thoughtful your Naruto is. Go get another one right away.”

Mikoto’s words made Kushina blush. She grabbed Naruto’s ear and said angrily, “You are such a big mouth!”
