In Naruto with the Flame-Flame Fruit-Chapter 488: Ordinary

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Kiyosuke’s son, Shinichi, was born healthy. The little guy had naturally black hair, and his eyes—emerald green like his mother’s—were stunning.

Yuka was already three years old and had begun learning ninjutsu from Kiyosuke.

This child was a true prodigy. Not only had she inherited Terumī Mei’s two kekkei genkai—Lava Release and Boil Release—but she also possessed all seven chakra natures: wind, fire, water, lightning, earth, yin, and yang. Her talent was incredible. And with Mei’s beauty and Kiyosuke’s handsomeness perfectly combined, she would undoubtedly grow up to be the most beautiful woman in the entire shinobi world.

"Daddy!"

Yuka wrapped her arms around Kiyosuke’s leg like a little bean sprout, puffing angrily.

"Sora bullied me and Kokomi!"

Kiyosuke was cooking for his wife, but when he heard that Obito’s son was picking on his daughter, that was absolutely unacceptable.

"Why don’t you go complain to your Rin? Wait—where’s Nanao?"

"He and Sora bullied us together! I’m never playing with them again!" Yuka huffed.

"Haha, then don’t play with them. Oh, right—why don’t you go find that kid from Itachi’s family?" Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi had a son named Uchiha Yusuke, only a few months younger than Yuka.

"No way. Yusuke never talks. He’s boring!"

Yuka grumbled loudly. Yusuke really was like a miniature Itachi—quiet as a mouse. Only, while Itachi used to be that way because he was always thinking, Yusuke was simply uninterested in speaking. His talent was solid though. Uchiha Fugaku boasted every day,

"As expected of my grandson!"

By the way, Sasuke and Sakura had gotten married a year ago, and their child was about to be born.

And Naruto and Hinata’s child, Boruto, had just been born not long ago. Seeing Boruto’s two whisker marks and sparse blond hair, Kiyosuke thought,

As expected of Minato’s grandson. Those genes are insane.

Minato’s blond hair completely overpowered the Uzumaki lineage. That was impressive.

Not even a trace of recessive genes—just pure blond.

With Boruto’s birth, it also meant this world was starting to move toward Boruto’s generation.

So... was the era of "non-burnables" about to begin?

Then what about me, a "burnable"?

No way. I have to turn that kid into a burnable!

Thinking that, he said to his daughter:

"Go visit your Hinata-san. She just had a baby. You can go take a look."

"But Mama also had a baby. Shinichi is obviously cuter."

That’s right. As expected of my daughter!

"Yes, Shinichi is cuter. But Mama needs to rest." After giving birth, Terumī Mei had been extra sleepy, and Kiyosuke had been caring for her meticulously, afraid anything might go wrong.

Fortunately, everything was fine.

"Alright, go wash your hands. Dinner’s ready. Then we’ll bring food to Mama, okay?"

"Mhm." Yuka nodded hard, washed her hands seriously, and helped Kiyosuke bring dinner to Mei, who was rocking the baby to sleep.

Because of the Hundred Seal, Mei looked exactly the same as she had years ago. Seeing her husband and daughter bringing her food, she smiled gently.

"Yuka, did you wash your hands properly?"

"Of course! Look, Mama—super clean! Daddy helped!" Yuka said proudly.

"Good girl."

"Hehe..." Yuka blushed and hid behind her father. Kiyosuke said, "Dear, dinner’s ready. Want me to feed you?"

"No need. Just hold Shinichi for a bit."

"Alright."

Taking his son, Kiyosuke gently rocked him.

"Come on, grow up quickly. Then go snatch Kakashi’s daughter away—no, wait, bring home all the girls in Konoha, hahaha!"

Mei rolled her eyes.

"Shinichi is a baby. Why are you telling him that already?"

"What? I’m teaching him early! Look at that idiot from Obito’s family—exactly like his dad back then, pining after one girl... Wait—Yuka, does Sora like sticking close to you?"

Yuka, eating the food her mother fed her, thought for a moment.

"Maybe? But he likes playing pranks. I don’t want to play with him!"

Danger glinted in Kiyosuke’s eyes.

"Then don’t play with him. Hmph. That kid is just like his father. No way I’m giving him a chance..."

"Enough, you. The moment something involves Yuka, you turn into a completely different person. You want Shinichi to bring home every girl in the village, but you won’t even let Yuka near Obito’s son. Honestly, I think she likes playing with Nanao more." Mei’s words were sharp, but Kiyosuke waved dismissively.

"Nanao is just like Kakashi—quiet and awkward. If I hadn’t deliberately kept their mother close to Kakashi back then, Kakashi would probably have ended up living the rest of his life with Guy. These two kids wouldn’t even exist."

In other words, Kakashi owed his entire family life to Kiyosuke.

Nanao’s talent wasn’t inferior to his father’s. Even though Kakashi hadn’t stepped down as Hokage yet, he handled paperwork insanely fast—just like Minato. He never neglected his family, still found time to slack off reading novels, and even taught his kids ninjutsu whenever he could.

Compared to when Naruto succeeded him, the difference was night and day.

When Naruto became Hokage, there was so much work that even with Shadow Clones and Shikamaru helping, he still couldn’t finish everything. His son turned rebellious, and even his daughter’s birthday was attended by a clone.

He was the busiest Hokage in history.

After cleaning the dishes, Kiyosuke said:

"In a few years, Yuka will be old enough to start school. That’s dangerous. I need to teach her self-defense."

Mei couldn’t help saying:

"She’s only three."

"Three isn’t that young. I learned ninjutsu at three. And you were probably even tougher at her age."

Mei was born during the Bloody Mist era. Even a three-year-old had to endure brutal trials to survive, especially a young lady from a prestigious clan.

"Fine. But take it slow. Yuka needs to grow into a proper young lady."

"No worries. I’ll only teach her practical stuff. Yuka, remember—if someone wants to bully you, you can smash their head with a rock!"

"But Daddy, Mama said I should grow up to be a young lady."

"You can use a rock with cute pink flowers on it."

"..."

"..."

Terumī Mei: As expected, he’s being ridiculous again.
