Chapter 17 Foolish Little Brother

Konoha

Nara Residence

Hissssss!!!

Swish!!!!

Temari waved the kamatari at the three-headed black serpent as strong gusts of wind blew at it.

*WHAM!!! *

The two attacks collided, resulting in a gigantic explosion that sent rolling waves of dust into the air, and the other two trees in the yard toppled down due to air pressure.

"Such strength... it's hard to believe that a four-year-old can make such attacks"

Before, Shikamaru and others were sand shields, protecting them from severe wind pressure.

Gaara said this with a shocked expression on his face, as the aftereffects of both attacks had totally entered the scope of an A-Rank Jutsu.

*WHAM!!! *

Finally, there was another explosion, and the three-headed snake was shredded by Temari's strike, but that didn't stop the giant blades of wind from rushing towards Satoshi, who was gasping and tired on his knees.

But, at the last second, a sand barrier erupted in front of Satoshi, entirely shielding him from the wind blades.

"He... truly did it..."

At this moment, Temari finally came back to her senses as, looking at the huge fan in her hand, she was stunned.

Satoshi's last attack was extremely powerful, and she instinctively used her weapon because nothing else could have rescued her from it.

"Hehe~ I... win... Mom!!"

Satoshi didn't mind Temari and everyone else's disbelief, and he grinned as he stood up, his movements a little unsteady due to the exhaustion.

Satoshi knew that the only reason he was able to make Temari use her weapon was due to him using Ninjutsu.

His last attack was powerful, although Temari could have easily avoided it if she hadn't been taken off guard by Satoshi's Ninjutsu.

She must have been startled to see him using Ninjutsu, which he learned from the scroll of Mirai because no one had ever taught him.

Temari regained her composure after hearing his remarks and, after a brief glance at him, moved towards him, her face solemn.

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?.... You weren't wounded, right? son"

Just when Satoshi was worried, he would be scolded about how he learned Ninjutsu. Temari knelt before him, pulling him into her embrace and worriedly asking

"Sigh...

"I'm all right..."

"After all, even though... it's... a drag, I'm your son..."

Satoshi sighed as he was still unable to keep up with the brains of the people of this world, one moment angry and the next worried. It was a real drag.

"He~He...Do you think complimenting me would keep you from telling me how you learned Ninjutsu?"

Hearing his words, Temari smirked, feeling sweet in her heart, but the next moment her smile turned into a devil's as she twisted his ears.

"Haha!!!"

Seeing Satoshi being treated like this, Kankuro, Shikadai, and even Gaara laughed, loving this warm atmosphere.

Shikamaru also laughed a little, but his eyes were skeptical as he looked at Satoshi, who was grimacing in pain from Temari's pulling of his ears.

"Is it possible that my son...?"

Shikamaru pondered, a confused expression on his face, as he looked at Satoshi, his performance has made him doubtful.

But Shikamaru suppressed the doubt in his mind and left the matter of confirming the guess in his mind to later.

He didn't even inform Temari about it because it couldn't be revealed until there was clear evidence.

"So... you stole Mirai's Jutsu?"

Satoshi succumbed to suffering as he confessed everything to Temari, who still looked at him with suspicion.

"I'm telling you the truth. You can talk with Shikadai. That day, he noticed me copying"

Seeing the doubt remaining in her eyes, Satoshi quickly pushed before her the one and only witness of his robbery.

Temair no longer doubted him after hearing his statements and let go of his ears as Satoshi finally sighed in relief and walked away from her.

"Haha!!!... Satoshi You definitely took me by surprise..."

Kankuro laughed as he looked at his nephew, who had just performed brilliantly, much above his expectations.

"Satoshi... has the kind of swordsmanship that only a few people in the Land of Iron have... and his combat sense... is second to none"

Gaara also commended Satoshi on how this simple trip to inform his sister that he had adopted a child had come as such a surprise to him.

"Huh?"

Satoshi grinned as his gaze fell on Shikadai, but he noticed him looking at him in a stupor with eyes full of envy.

Shikadai awoke from his trance as he felt his stare, and a scared expression emerged on his face as he immediately remembered what he had spoken to Temari earlier.

"It's all over..."

The worst happened as Satoshi began to walk near Shikadai, as the terrified Shikadai couldn't even move from his place, his legs quivering.

"Brother... I'm___"

Shikadai saw Satoshi arrive before him, as looking straight at him as the former spoke in a fearful tone, but he only saw a hand enlarging in his vision as the scared Shikadai closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Huh?"

But instead of the feared pain, Shikadai felt a hand on his head and opened his eyes, only to see Satoshi smiling at him.

"Don't worry... you, too, will become strong one day."

Satoshi tried to cheer up his foolish little brother by caressing his head and giving him the warmest smile possible.

Thud...

Shikadai was surprised as he took a few steps back before turning around and fleeing, his cheeks red with embarrassment.

"Haha!!!"

Everyone laughed this time, whether it was Shikamaru, Satoshi, or Temari when they saw the embarrassed Shikadai fleeing.

"I'm so fortunate... to have such wonderful sons..."

Temari reflected as she was pleased for Shikadai, who had someone like Satoshi to guide and protect him.

"I was worried for nothing... he's my son, that's... for sure"

The worry in Shikamaru's eyes was completely swept away as to whether Satoshi was a reincarnation or not, it didn't matter.

Nothing can change the fact that Satoshi is his son.
