Chapter 178: Ka Dian Gets Married, Opening Up To Shi Xiaoqiang

Naruto opened his eyes in a daze and was startled to see a pair of scarlet eyes staring down at him.

This situation shocked Naruto!

"Uh, what are you going to do? I didn't force you last night..."

Naruto looked at Izumi's beautiful face and her small, delicate body below the neck. He swallowed subconsciously and emphasized his point.

Uchiha Izumi blushed upon hearing this. She glared at Naruto in embarrassment, turned her head, and began dressing.

Though she had been the one to take the initiative last night, was it really appropriate to say something like that?

Moreover, Uchiha Izumi's mood was extremely complicated right now...

"Uzumaki Naruto, I know you! I will come to you again..."

After quickly dressing, Uchiha Izumi glanced back at Naruto. The three tomoe of her Sharingan spun rapidly and connected, forming the Mangekyō Sharingan. She tried to act calm but couldn't fully hide her unease.

Then, boom...

"Uh???"

Naruto watched as Uchiha Izumi dropped her harsh words and stumbled, falling to the ground after taking just two steps. He couldn't help but smile, his frown turning into a grin.

"That's it???"

He muttered to himself.

"You're still not feeling brave? Just stay here and rest today!"

Naruto took two steps forward, picked Izumi up, and gently placed her back under the blanket. He looked at her embarrassed face and smiled brightly.

Last night, despite facing Izumi's overwhelming emotions, Naruto hadn't felt sorry for her.

This led to Izumi sustaining injuries that were even worse than Sakura's.

"It's not you..."

Izumi muttered quietly, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Alright, you rest here. I'm going out to get some breakfast."

Seeing her embarrassment, Naruto found a reason to leave and quickly excused himself.

After their first encounter last night, Naruto had brought Izumi home with his Flying Thunder God technique. The scene had been... intense.

After Naruto left, Uchiha Izumi lay still, staring blankly at the ceiling...

[Well, the current popular female characters still haven't fully matured. This experience was much less impactful than I thought! I can't just keep waiting like this... ]

Naruto, as he walked out the door, thought about Izumi, little Sakura, Shiro, and some of the beauties from the Shippuden era. He made a silent decision in his heart:

He wanted to quickly enter the Shippuden timeline!

Noon

Under Naruto's care, Uchiha Izumi finally felt well enough to move and sneaked back to her own home.

"Naruto! Naruto!"

While Naruto was cleaning up the traces left by Izumi in his house, little Sakura's voice called out from outside the door.

"What's the matter, little Sakura?"

Naruto quickly put on a disguise and stepped outside to ask.

"Naruto, Mr. Kakashi is getting married the day after tomorrow! I'm thinking about what gift to give him. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Little Sakura stepped forward and hugged Naruto's arm sweetly as soon as she saw him.

"The day after tomorrow?

Wow, that's really fast!"

"Then call Sako. The three of us can prepare a gift for him. After all, she's also a student of Master Kakashi!"

Naruto, already knowing about this, curled his lips indifferently.

"Ah, you still want to call Sako? Fine... Even if she's now a member of the Fifth Hokage's team, she was once part of Team Seven."

Little Sakura yelled angrily, but she had been planning to go shopping with Naruto to buy the gift.

What Naruto said was also reasonable, and little Sakura, afraid that Naruto would think her stingy, could only grit her teeth and agree.

"Alright, you go to the shop in front first. I'll go find Sako!"

Naruto pointed toward a commercial street not far ahead and gestured for little Sakura to go there.

Without giving her a chance to reply, he quickly closed the door and used Flying Thunder God to disappear.

Seeing this, little Sakura could only turn around and head toward the street.

"What? Choosing a wedding present for Kakashi-sensei? Of course, I'm going with you for that. Hurry up and go!"

After Sako heard Naruto's plan, she immediately got up and looked at him with excited eyes.

It was a great idea to get out and relax occasionally from the complicated duties of being Hokage. The best part was, she could go shopping with a legitimate excuse!

"How do I feel like your attention isn't focused on one thing?"

Seeing Sako's excited expression, Naruto looked at her with suspicion.

"Idiot..."

Sako rolled her eyes at Naruto in exasperation. She turned her head and huffed arrogantly.

Seeing this, Naruto stopped teasing her. He stepped forward, grabbed Sako's right hand, and pulled her into an embrace before activating his Flying Thunder God technique.

When Sako was enveloped in Naruto's embrace, her usually proud face froze in surprise. She looked at him with strange eyes.

"This guy is not trying to take advantage of me, is he?"

Sako thought to herself. "I treat you like a brother..."

Naruto, ignoring Sako's skeptical gaze, was lost in his own thoughts. [He's doing this on purpose...]

Two days later

"Kakashi, Rin, congratulations... From today, you are a married couple."

Jiraiya, who was officiating the wedding, stood on stage and congratulated the newlyweds. The many ninjas in the audience cheered, adding to the festive atmosphere.

"Mr. Kakashi, this is a wedding present from me, Naruto, and Sako to you and your wife..."

Little Sakura stepped forward, holding a gift as she congratulated the couple.

"Mr. Kakashi, congratulations... This is from the heart of our eighth class!"

Not to be outdone, Ino also presented a gift with a congratulatory message. She secretly glanced at Naruto, eyeing him without anyone noticing.

"Roar!"

Might Guy yelled excitedly, standing next to Xiao Li, who was also shouting in excitement.

The sight made many female ninjas sweat nervously, their eyes twitching in response to the two's antics.

"Who would want to marry you two?"

After the ceremony

As the guests drank and mingled, Naruto approached the gathered "Ten Xiaoqiang" and called them aside.

Sako, due to her position as Hokage, wasn't sitting with them.

The group followed Naruto as he led them to the third training ground.

"The next Ninja World won't be as peaceful as it is now."

Naruto looked at his friends seriously and spoke with a tone of determination. "We are all partners in this time, and we must be prepared. I've prepared a training plan for each of you. After three years, the ninja world will change..."

He was about to accelerate the timeline and give them all the chance to grow stronger.

Naruto wasn't one to waste three years of accelerated time. This was a chance to make major progress!

"Naruto, I knew you were up to something... I didn't expect you to know what's coming."

Shikamaru said with his usual lazy tone, but underneath it, there was a hint of worry about the future.

Shikamaru, who had grown up alongside Naruto, understood his changes over time.

"If it were you, I'd agree to anything you say..."

Neji looked at Naruto seriously and spoke with firmness.

"Naruto-kun, I will support your decision..."

Hinata, with a slight blush on her face, spoke up before little Sakura and Ino.

"I agree as well..."

Little Sakura and Ino quickly echoed Hinata's words.

Several other members of the group exchanged glances and nodded to Naruto in agreement.

"Alright, let's get started!"

Naruto looked at each member of the group and began outlining his plan.

"Neji, Hinata, you two will focus on strengthening the development of the Byakugan. In three years, I will give you a huge gift."

"Shikamaru, Chōji, Ino... If you're willing, I will make you the Third Generation Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. As long as your family secrets are safeguarded with Chakra, you'll be able to develop stronger ninjutsu."

"Tenten, I've prepared a super training box for you. If you train uninterrupted for three hours every day for three years, you'll gain three special abilities."

"Xiao Li, I'll provide you with a unique power to ensure your growth. After three years, you'll surpass even Mr. Guy!"

"Shino, Kiba, your bugs and ninjutsu can't adapt to Nine-Tails Chakra. I will enhance your abilities to help you grow."

"Little Sakura, continue training with Tsunade-sama and learn all of her techniques, including her Forbidden Techniques."

Naruto looked at them all, one by one, as he explained his plan in detail.
