Naruto, born from the world of his parents.

Chapter 7 I will blame everyone present.

The morning sun is always the best of the day; it is neither as harsh as midday nor as lingering as sunset, but gentle and dazzling, like an inextinguishable hope.

A ray of sunlight shone through the window and fell on Naruto's eyes. He frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and his azure eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion and an indescribable sadness.

But in just a moment, all the emotions in those eyes were completely replaced by shock.

Looking at the pristine white ceiling and smelling the faint scent of disinfectant in the air, Naruto's muscles under the covers instantly tensed.

This movement startled the woman who was lying next to the bed.

This woman had incredibly striking red hair, and this hair color, which should have been alluring, appeared clear and smooth against her childlike, clear eyes.

Looking at this woman, Naruto's wariness completely vanished. He stared intently at the woman, whose eyes were still filled with confusion from being startled awake, and buried his head in her arms, uttering baby-like babbling.

"Mother."

Startled awake and somewhat dazed, Kushina paused for a moment upon hearing Naruto's voice, but her eyes instantly softened and became warm.

She hugged Naruto tightly, gently stroking his slightly slumped golden hair with her right hand, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Mom's here."

Upon hearing Kushina's voice, Naruto's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't pull back; instead, he relaxed even more.

The morning sunlight quietly spilled into this cozy hospital room. Outside the window, in a bird's nest nestled among the branches, a bird tilted its head, looking at the scene inside.

Click.

Before the sound of the door opening, a boy's voice came first.

"Aunt Kushina, I've come to see Naruto!"

Uchiha Sasuke burst into the room excitedly, paused for a moment at the scene inside, and then burst into genuine laughter.

"Naruto, you're awake!"

Naruto, having left his mother's embrace, looked at the familiar boy in front of him, his eyes momentarily blank.

This face, which was sleeping soundly on his back calling him "brother" just last night, is incredibly sunny and cheerful today, like a gentle breeze.

This gave Naruto a momentary, inexplicable sense of disconnect. After a moment of stunned silence, he smiled at Sasuke in front of him and said, "Yes, Sasuke, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Sasuke waved his hand: "There's no need for us to say such things between us."

After saying that, he looked at Kushina Uzumaki: "Aunt Kushina, what about Naruto's current body?"

"Lady Tsunade said Naruto's body is fine, but..."

She looked at Naruto, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him nod. She reached out and ruffled Naruto's hair, saying, "Really, you can't do that again."

After saying that, he stretched and said to Sasuke, "I'm a little sleepy too. I'm going home to catch up on some sleep. I'll leave Naruto in your care, Sasuke-kun."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately tensed up, as if he had received a mission, and said to Kushina, "Lady Kushina, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Seeing Sasuke's goofy expression, Kushina laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. She walked over to Sasuke and patted him hard on the shoulder: "You little rascal, you're so lovable. I'll leave you to me then."

After saying that, Kushina rubbed her stiff back, which had been sitting all night, and walked out of the room.

Sasuke only truly relaxed after Kushina left the hospital room.

He walked over to Naruto, picked up an apple from the bedside table without any hesitation, and waved it in the air. The originally dry apple instantly became juicy.

Sasuke casually wiped his face with his hand, then ate while glancing at Naruto on the bed.

"What's wrong with you? This level of training is enough to exhaust you?"

Naruto smiled, offered no explanation, picked up an apple, washed it in the same way Sasuke did, and popped it into his mouth.

Only at this moment, feeling the chakra within him flowing like an extension of his own body, did Naruto realize that he had truly returned.

Looking at Sasuke, who was completely relaxed in front of him, his tense heart finally relaxed as well.

He's back, and Sasuke is unharmed. This means that everything he cares about is probably still the same. What could be better than this?

Shaking his head, Naruto asked, "Did anything happen while I was in the hospital?"

Sasuke said while taking a bite of an apple, "What else could it be? The Fourth Hokage and my brother are here."

As he spoke, Sasuke seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, to be honest, something did happen."

"Um?"

"The fourth generation leader has placed the four leaders of the other villages under house arrest."

Naruto was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Although he had long known of his father's ambition to unify the ninja world, his father, who had always loved peace, preferred to achieve the unification of the ninja world through a more peaceful means.

The Konoha Development Group, which, along with other ninja villages, uses ninjutsu for commercial development to achieve a gentle improvement of the world, is one of the practical products of my father's ideas. How could such a father resort to such extreme measures?

Seeing the confusion in Naruto's eyes, Sasuke, who was eating an apple, had a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Isn't it all because of you?"

"Because of me?"

"Of course."

After casually tossing the apple core into the trash can, Sasuke continued, "You were quite the star of the Five Great Ninja Villages' Joint Exams, but then you suddenly fainted in front of the Hokage without any warning, which made him very angry."

As he spoke, Sasuke's expression suddenly became incredibly admiring: "When the Fourth Hokage caught you, his expression turned terrifying. I've never seen the Fourth Hokage so angry. After calming the rioting crowd, he immediately had my brother and Shisui take control of the other village leaders."

"Do you know what the Fourth Hokage said back then?"

Seeing Naruto shake his head in confusion, Sasuke suddenly stood up, put his arms around Naruto with his back to him, and glanced at him sideways, saying, "I know that everyone here still has some bad thoughts about me and Konoha, but I hope this is not a case of your thoughts coming to fruition, and I also think you should pray."

At this point, Sasuke turned around, his expression cold, but his face was already flushed with excitement.

"I pray that my child, the Konoha ninja, Naruto Uzumaki, will not have any accidents, because I am sometimes a bit superstitious. If Naruto has any accidents due to genjutsu, blood disease, or overtraining, then I will blame everyone here."

After saying that, Sasuke took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm his excitement. He looked intently at Naruto: "That's so cool! Why! Why can the Fourth Hokage always say such cool things! He truly is my goal!"

Seeing Sasuke go crazy when his father was mentioned, Naruto smiled helplessly, but he was also a little surprised.

"So, I really am very important to my father?"
