Konoha: I practice hard every day! Chapter 041

Just like that, Ye Shu was subjected to a mixed doubles attack by the stir-fried tomatoes with eggs combo.

The children were playing and frolicking, making the place lively. Uzumaki Mito watched them, and a kind smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder when these children would grow up? When would they be able to stand on their own? When would they have their own lives? They would also have their own significant others, right?

Uzumaki Mito thought, and unconsciously let out a sigh: Peace is truly wonderful!

However, when she turned her gaze to Nawaki, she noticed that Nawaki was eating rather distractedly, clearly not focused on his meal, and absent-minded.

“Nawaki, is something on your mind?” Uzumaki Mito kindly asked. Uzumaki Mito was also very concerned about the children’s mental health. She wanted to know what was wrong with Nawaki so she could guide him in time if there was a problem.

Nawaki shook his head, indicating that nothing was wrong.

Uzumaki Mito didn’t understand. If nothing was wrong, why couldn’t he eat properly?

“Is Granny’s cooking not good?”

Nawaki bit his finger, thought for a long time, and then finally spoke, “Granny, actually… actually, I want to eat the food Ye Shu made.”

“Uh…”

“Uh…”

“Uh…”

The scene became extremely awkward for a moment.

However, Uzumaki Mito wasn’t a narrow-minded person. She looked at Ye Shu, her face showing some surprise, “Ye Shu-kun, it seems your cooking is excellent. Actually, Granny also wants to try some.”

Ye Shu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, “Nawaki is still young. He doesn’t understand anything. He’s just talking nonsense.”

Uzumaki Mito rubbed Ye Shu’s head, “Ye Shu-kun, don’t be modest~”

There was nothing else for it, Ye Shu had to agree to personally cook a meal, but it would have to wait until tomorrow.

“By the way, I’d like to formally introduce our new family member. Her name is Uzumaki Kushina!” Uzumaki Mito said, clapping her hands. Tsunade, Ye Shu, and Nawaki also started clapping when they saw Uzumaki Mito clapping.

Uzumaki Kushina stood up at this moment and bowed deeply, “I am Uzumaki Kushina. Please take good care of me!”

Tsunade, Ye Shu, and Nawaki’s applause grew even more enthusiastic.

“Welcome, Kushina~ I’m Tsunade.”

“Welcome, Kushina~ I’m Ye Shu.”

“Welcome~ I’m Nawaki.”

And when Uzumaki Kushina saw everyone so enthusiastic, her eyes instantly became a little moist. She seemed to feel the warmth of a home. Although this guy named Ye Shu was annoying, he seemed to be quite nice.

“By the way, Kushina will also go to the Ninja Academy tomorrow. Tsunade, go tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about it. Oh, you also need to go to the Konoha Hospital to learn medical ninjutsu. Nawaki is still young now. Ye Shu, you also happen to be going to the Ninja Academy to study. The task of taking care of Kushina at the Ninja Academy will be entrusted to you, Ye Shu. Can you do it?”

Uzumaki Mito looked at Ye Shu, while Ye Shu looked at Uzumaki Kushina and shook his head, “Granny, with Kushina’s temper, probably no one at the Ninja Academy would dare to provoke her. If anyone dares to provoke her, she might throw hot soup at them and then beat them up.”

“You…”

Uzumaki Kushina, who had just developed a little goodwill towards Ye Shu, saw that goodwill vanish in an instant.

Uzumaki Mito laughed, stroking Uzumaki Kushina’s red hair, “Girls of the Uzumaki clan are all like this. Otherwise, why would they be called the ‘Red Hot-Blooded Habanero’?”

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina looked up at Uzumaki Mito and asked curiously, “Was Granny also called a ‘Red Hot Chili Pepper Head’ when she was little?”

Uzumaki Mito looked down at Uzumaki Kushina and said with a smile, “When Granny was little, she was not only called a ‘Red Hot Chili Pepper Head’ but also a ‘Tomato Head,’ and… a ‘Peeled Watermelon Head’… so many…”

As she spoke, Uzumaki Mito recalled, and whenever she thought of these things, she couldn’t help but laugh. To her, these were all beautiful memories.

“In the past, I was just like you. If anyone dared to call me ‘Tomato Head’ or ‘Red Hot Chili Pepper Head,’ I would definitely find a way to make them cry, even if it meant risking my life.”

“But as I grew up, I stopped doing that because I knew that vibrant red hair is a symbol of our Uzumaki clan. It’s a symbol of strong vitality.”

Uzumaki Mito touched her own hair, saying with a bitter smile, “Kushina, how much Granny wishes she could be like you now, with such vibrant red hair, but time waits for no one. I no longer have vibrant red hair.”

Uzumaki Kushina looked up at Uzumaki Mito’s hair. From the red that showed through the white, it was still possible to see that Uzumaki Mito’s hair had also been very vibrant in the past.

Granny Uzumaki Mito wanted vibrant red hair, while she was troubled by her own vibrant hair. At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina seemed to understand a little.

Everyone is unique. What you insist on giving up might be what others have always wanted.

Just as Uzumaki Mito said, red hair is the unique glory of the Uzumaki clan, not something to be ashamed of. It should be something to be proud of.

Who knows how many people wished to be members of the Uzumaki clan?

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have awakened. She completely accepted herself and her red hair.

“Granny, I understand.”

Uzumaki Kushina said, while tying her red hair into a ponytail with a hair tie.

And after tying up her red hair, Uzumaki Kushina’s face was revealed. Even Ye Shu couldn’t help but praise her: beautiful.

“It’s good that you understand. Tomorrow, you’ll go to the Ninja Academy with Ye Shu.”

Uzumaki Mito then looked at Ye Shu again, “Ye Shu, you must protect Kushina and not let other classmates bully her, understood?”

“Got it. It’s good enough if she doesn’t bully others.”

Ye Shu mumbled.

“Ye Shu, what did you say?”

Uzumaki Kushina raised her fist, ready to strike, and Ye Shu quickly said, “Granny, did you see? How could someone like her be bullied?”

“I’m just afraid she’ll bully others, and then they’ll come looking for us at home.”

“But it’s nothing really. Isn’t Tsunade learning medical ninjutsu?”
