Chapter 537: Calling Home

Earth land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. 

 

November 1, x787. 

 

"Hey, Hinata, can you check again with your Byakugan." Naruto asked impatiently. 

 

Currently, Naruto was sitting on the training grounds of the Ninja Academy during the lunch break with Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, and Shino. Aside from the eight of them, Sasuke, who was pretending to be uninterested in their conversation was not too far away and listening for Hinata's response with anticipation. 

 

The reason Naruto seemed so impatient was simple, today was the day Alfonzo told the group of kids that he would return to the village. And they were all excited to see him. Especially Naruto and Sasuke, who had been orphaned thanks to various circumstances. Even so, the other kids were also excited to see him, as well. 

 

During Alfonzo's first stay in the village, they all improved a lot as shinobi. And ever since he left, they noticed that their rate of improvement had slowed tremendously, despite the fact that they were still training hard. 

 

Even Shikamaru, who was the laziest of the group acknowledged just how much training with Alfonzo and Ikaruga had helped him grow. 

 

"O-Okay." Hinata replied while blushing furiously. 

 

A moment later, Hinata closed her eyes. Then, she channeled her magic power into her eyes. 

 

"[Byakugan]." Hinata said quietly as she opened her eyes. 

 

Like Neji of Team Guy, Hinata was also a member of the Hyuga Clan. So, she could also employ the Byakugan. And as it turned out, her Byakugan was even purer than Neji's. So, despite the fact that she was weaker than her older cousin, she could cover quite the distance with her Byakugan. However, she was still incapable of covering the entire village. But that would not be an issue. 

 

After activating her Byakugan, Hinata turned her head in the direction of the residence where Alfonzo and Elicia stayed during their last trip. Then, she focused all her ocular power in that direction, extending the distance she could see in a straight line. And when she did, she smiled slightly. 

 

It should also be noted that the Byakugan was able to see through solid objects. So, despite there being many buildings and structures between the academy and the residence where Alfonzo stayed, they did not hinder her in the slightest. 

 

"They're here." Hinata said quietly in a happy tone. 

 

Despite her low volume, everyone was able to hear her clearly. And when they did, most of them smiled, with Naruto, Sasuke, and Choji being the most excited. 

 

While Naruto and Sasuke were just happy to see Alfonzo again, Choji was looking forward to his cooking. Meanwhile, the others were looking forward to getting stronger from his training. 

 

"But Miss Elicia is not with him this time." Hinata continued. "Neither is Miss Ikaruga or Miss Irene." 

 

"Really?" Shikamaru asked curiously. "Did he come alone?" 

 

"No, there are three or four women with him…" Hinata said while continuing to watch the mansion. "And a… cat walking on two legs?" 

 

"A cat?" Kiba asked, reacting explosively. 

 

"*Bark* *Bark*" Akamaru, Kiba's young ninja dog also barked in dissatisfaction. 

 

"Is it cute?" Ino asked curiously. 

 

"Um… Yes." Hinata replied after flinching at Kiba and Akamaru's response. 

 

"I've never seen a cat that walks on two legs before." Sakura commented. "I wonder what it's species is." 

 

With that, the kids began discussing about Carla with curiosity. However, before the conversation could go on for too long, Naruto interrupted. 

 

"That's not important right now!" Naruto shouted. "Instead, we should all be talking about going to see Alfonzo after the academy lets out!" 

 

Naruto's excited exclamation silenced the other seven children. Then, after exchanging glances, they all nodded in agreement. Even Sasuke, who had not participated in the conversation, had resolved himself to go to see Alfonzo in the afternoon. 

 

*Ding! Dong!* *Dong! Ding!* 

 

At that moment, the bell signifying the end of the lunch break rang. And when it did, not only the nine who were acquainted with Alfonzo, but all the kids eating lunch on the training ground, as well as throughout the academy, packed up and made their way to their classrooms for their afternoon classes. 

 

Meanwhile, Alfonzo, Wendy, Carla, Saeko, Rika, and Miyuki had just finished lunch. Currently, everyone was seated in the living room while Miyuki was serving them tea. And Alfonzo had just started a video call on his lPhone. 

 

"I don't know how you come up with some of the things you invent." Rika said while watching Alfonzo operate his lPhone. "I mean, people have been using communications lacrima for centuries. But you somehow came up with a much more convenient way to communicate over long distances." 

 

"Yes, it's quite impressive." Saeko said. "Buying one was one of the best purchases of my life. And since my father bought one, as well, I've been able to keep in touch with him rather easily since I left Takanosu." 

 

"What can I say?" Alfonzo asked while smiling sheepishly. "I just have an active imagination." 

 

'Like I could tell them that smartphones were such a big thing in my previous life and I felt naked without one in these last sixteen years.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 

 

["Oh, the woes of being a world hopping reincarnator."] Bedlam said sarcastically. 

 

'Shut the hell up!' Alfonzo replied internally. 

 

"Still, the lPhone is really cool." Wendy said with a smile. "I can talk to Ur even when I'm out on a quest." 

 

"Yes, it really is convenient." Carla added. 

 

The older wizards in the room could only smile at Wendy and Carla. Meanwhile, Miyuki agreed with Wendy. Although she was not particularly close with her family after her brother passed away, she was grateful that she could use the lPhone to talk to them from time to time. 

 

At that moment, Alfonzo raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked in the direction of the Ninja Academy. And when he did, he smiled. 

 

"I guess they know we're here now." Alfonzo muttered while continuing to smile. 

 

At the same time, an image of Elicia appeared on the screen of his lPhone. However, she was not alone. Amar'ei was cradled in her arms. 

 

{"Hey, Fonzie! Looks like you're in a good mood. Did something happen?"} Elicia said excitedly after the video call connected. Then, she looked down at Amar'e, who was looking curiously at the lPhone propped up on the table in front of them. {"Mar'e, look, it's Daddy."} 

 

Hearing Elicia's voice, Alfonzo turned his attention back to the lPhone in his hand. And when he did, he saw Elicia smiling brightly while Amar'e was reaching for the lPhone eagerly. 

 

"Amar'e, how ya doin', Little Man?" Alfonzo asked, his smile widening after seeing his son's face on the screen. 

 

Over the two months since Amar'e was born, he had grown nicely. His skin tone was somewhere between the shades of his parents skin tones, he had a head full of curly black hair and grey eyes like Alfonzo's. Also, it looked like he would turn out to be an extremely active child. 

 

On top of that, the happy sounds he was making gave Alfonzo a warm, fuzzy feeling in his chest. 

 

Meanwhile, as soon as the others heard Alfonzo mention Amar'e, they all gathered around Alfonzo to look at the screen of his lPhone. None of them ever got tired of seeing Amar'e, after all. 

 

"Hey, Lici." Alfonzo said after watching his son for a moment. "I just wanted to call and let you know that we made it safely. As for what happened, I just felt Hinata looking at us with her Byakugan. So, Naruto and the others should know we're here." 

 

{"*Sigh* I wish I could have come with you this time, too."} Elicia said wistfully. {"I would have loved to introduce them to Amar'e. I bet they would have loved him. Oh, and it looks like everyone is with you, too. Hey girls, how ya doin'?"} 

 

"Hey, Lici." Rika said while waving at the lPhone. "I don't know how you handled being blindfolded when you came here last time. Especially when it's so useless for wizards as strong as us."} 

 

"Hi, Amar'e~, I miss you~" Saeko said, gaining Amar'e's attention with her higher pitch. "When you get older, Auntie Saeko will teach you how to use a sword, okay?" 

 

To everyone's surprise, the calm and collected Saeko turned into a totally different person when she was around Amar'e. On top of that, she really wanted to make Amar'e her disciple when he was old enough to hold a sword. To her disappointment, however, Alfonzo and Elicia had not agreed to her proposal, stating that Amar'e would be able to decide what path he chose as a wizard on his own. If he even wanted to be a wizard, that is. 

 

"Hello, Elicia, how are you?" Wendy asked politely. 

 

"Amar'e, we'll play some more when I come back home, okay?" Carla asked with a gentle smile on her face. 

 

Like Saeko, everyone was surprised when Carla adopted a different demeanor around Amar'e. Whenever she was around the infant, her standoffish demeanor would evaporate, replaced by a doting older sister vibe. 

 

Seeing all the other girls, Elicia smiled brightly while Amar'e reached for the lPhone with even more vigor. Unfortunately, his short arms would never allow him to grab it. 

 

{"Aww, look Mar'e. All your aunties and big sisters miss you." Elicia cooed while gently rocking Amar'e in her arms. Then, she turned her attention back to Alfonzo while continuing to do so. "["So, I guess you guys will have some guests this afternoon."} 

 

"Probably." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "And they'll probably either want to start training immediately or have me cook for them. And in some cases, both." 

 

{"Hehehe. Well, your cooking tends to do that to people."} Elicia said with a smile. {"I can't wait until Mar'e gets to taste your cooking. I wanna see the look on his face when he does."} 

 

Hearing that, everyone in the living room could not help but imagine a slightly older Amar'e trying Alfonzo's cooking for the first time. And when they did, they started to giggle. 

 

"Hehehe. Maybe you should hold off on feeding him Alfonzo's food for a while." Rika said with a smile. "Otherwise, you'll ruin other food for him." 

 

"Rika's right." Saeko added. "Ever since I first tried Alfonzo's cooking, I can no longer eat food below a certain quality." 

 

Wendy and Carla nodded in agreement with Saeko's statement. 

 

"Well I don't know if there's anything I can do about that." Alfonzo said with a shrug. "Even if it's not my cooking, he'll be eating stuff Maria and Grayfia cook." 

 

{"Yeah, and they're almost as good as Fonzie."} Elicia added. 

 

"Really?" Rika asked in a shocked tone. "I haven't tasted their cooking yet. Now, I wanna try it to compare." 

 

{"Trust me, you won't be disappointed."} Elicia said proudly. {"Even if it's not as good as Fonzie's it's really close."} 

 

Like that, the conversation continued with the occasional peel of laughter sprinkled in. However, when Amar'e started getting fussy, letting Elicia know that it was time for his nap, the conversation began to wind down. 

 

"Oh, I almost forgot." Alfonzo said just before Elicia could end the call. "The Hokage agreed to me leaving on the weekends to come home and see you and Amar'e." 

 

{"Really? That's great!"} Elicia replied happily. Then, she looked down at Amar'e and continued in an excited tone. "["Did you hear that, Mar'e? Daddy will come home once a week to play with you."} 

 

Unfortunately, Amar'e was too cranky because of sleep. So, Alfonzo would not get to see him smile again before the call ended. 

 

"Hahaha! It looks like my little man is too sleepy to care if I come back or not." Alfonzo said happily. "So, I'll let you go, Lici. Go ahead and put him to sleep. I'll talk to you later." 

 

{"Okay."} Elicia replied with a nod. {"Bye, everyone. I'll talk to you later. And make sure to call home a lot, okay?"} 

 

"We sure will." Rika replied with a smile. "Talk to you later. Bye, Lici. Bye, Amar'e." 

 

"Talk to you later, Elicia." Saeko said with a smile. "Bye, Amar'e~" 

 

"It was nice talking to you, Elicia." Wendy said politely. "I'll bring back a souvenir for Amar'e." 

 

"Bye, Amar'e~! We'll play lots when I get home, okay?" Carla added. 

 

"Well, I'll talk to you later, Lici." Alfonzo said with a smile after everyone else said their goodbyes. "I'll be home this weekend. Love you. Bye Little man, Daddy misses you." 

 

With that, Elicia smiled before she reached forward and ended the video call. 

 

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* 

 

Not even five seconds after the video call ended, loud, hurried knocking could be heard from the front door of the residence. And when it did, Miyuki wasted no time going to answer the door. Meanwhile, Alfonzo looked at the lock screen of his lPhone to check the time. 

 

"Damn, we were on the phone a lot longer than I thought." Alfonzo said. "The day at the academy is already over." 

 

"Does that mean that those kids you told us about are here?" Rika asked. "You and Lici spoke so well of them, I'm curious to meet them." 

 

"Yeah, that's them now." Alfonzo replied. "And you'll have plenty of time to get to know them. They'll probably be here every day after school." 

 

With that said, Alfonzo turned to Wendy. 

 

"And Wendy, if you're not too tired after working at the hospital, could you take some time to teach one of the girls about Tsunade's healing technique?" Alfonzo asked. "From what I could tell from the last time I was here, she's got really good magic power control. On top of that, she's really smart. So, I think becoming a medical ninja would be good for her. Plus, I'll be teaching her some of the village's Genjutsu, too." 

 

"I don't mind." Wendy replied. 

 

"As long as you don't overwork yourself." Carla said in a stern tone. 

 

"Carla, I'm not a kid anymore.!" Wendy shouted back. "So, stop trying to tell me what to do!" 

 

Like that, the two best friends began to bicker. Meanwhile, Alfonzo shifted his gaze to Saeko next. 

 

"And Saeko, I'd like you to train one of the boys who are coming to visit in the way of the sword." Alfonzo said. "I think it would really suit him." 

 

"I would love to." Saeko replied. 

 

"Thanks." Alfonzo replied with a smile. 

 

"You don't have anything for me to do?" Rika asked with a grin. "Isn't there someone to teach how to shoot?" 

 

"Unfortunately, [Guns Magic] doesn't really fit too well with the customs of this village." Alfonzo replied while smiling wryly. 

 

In response, Rika only shrugged her shoulders, as she was not really asking that question seriously. 

 

A moment later, Miyuki led a group of nine children into the room. And as soon as they saw Alfonzo, they all smiled. Even the corners of Sasuke's lips slightly curled, as well. 

 

"Hey, guys." Alfonzo said with a smile. "Let me introduce you to my guild mates and new maid."

Chapter 538: Naruto's Dilemma

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

 

November 1, x787.

 

"So, how have you all been since I last saw you?" Alfonzo asked after getting the introductions out of the way. "Have you all kept up your training."

 

"Of course!" Naruto shouted in reply. "I'm gonna be Hokage someday, you know? So, I gotta be the strongest."

 

"Yeah, right." Kiba shot back. "There's no way you're gonna be Hokage, Naruto. Because I'm gonna be the Hokage."

 

"Oh, yeah?" Naruto asked challengingly.

 

"Yeah!" Kiba replied in the same challenging tone. "Bring it on!"

 

With that, Naruto and Kiba started literally bumping heads over who would become Hokage. Meanwhile, everyone gave them a glance before returning to their own conversation.

 

"Hey, Alfonzo, where is Lici?" Ino asked after deciding to ignore the quarrelling idiots.

 

"She's at home with Amar'e." Alfonzo replied with a smile.

 

"Amar'e is so cute!" Carla squealed after just thinking about Amar'e.

 

"Amar'e?" Sakura asked in a confused tone. "Wait.! Does that mean she had the baby?"

 

"Yeah, she sure did." Alfonzo replied while smiling like a proud father. "He was born August twelfth. And he was big when he was born… Like really big. 13.2 lbs. to be exact."

 

Hearing that, the kids were astonished. Still, they were excited by the news.

 

"I really wanna see him." Hinata said quietly with a gentle smile on her face. "You are so handsome and Miss Elicia is so pretty. I bet he's really cute."

 

A moment later, after realizing that she called Alfonzo handsome, Hinata blushed furiously. Then, she quickly snapped her head in Naruto's direction. And when she realized he was still arguing with Kiba, Hinata exhaled a sigh of relief.

 

Having noticed Hinata's actions, Rika, who was sitting on the same couch as Alfonzo, grinned mischievously. Then, in a burst of speed, she disappeared from where she was sitting and reappeared next to Hinata while wrapping an arm around the timid girl's shoulders.

 

"Oh, it looks like someone's got a little crush." Rika said quietly, making sure that Naruto would not be able to hear her.

 

In the next instant, something no one thought was possible happened. Hinata's blush grew in intensity as it extended from her cheeks to her ears and neck. At the same time, steam started to shoot out from the top of her head.

 

"Hahahaha! Oh, this girl is the cutest little thing." Rika said as she laughed uproariously.

 

Before Rika could continue, Hinata vanished from her grasp, confusing everyone in the room. A moment later, after scanning the room, they found Hinata sitting on the couch where Rika once sat.

 

"Huh?" Hinata exclaimed in confusion when her field of view changed so unexpectedly.

 

"Okay, Rika, don't tease the poor girl too much." Alfonzo said while smiling wryly. "She's way too thin-skinned for someone like you."

 

"Tch! You always ruin my fun, Alfonzo." Rika grumbled. Still, she let it go and decided to remain sitting on the floor among the other kids.

 

Meanwhile, Shikamaru, Choji, Sasuke, Ino, Sakura, and Shino could only look between Alfonzo, Rika, and Hinata with awe in their gazes. And that caused the atmosphere to get awkward. So awkward, in fact, that Naruto and Kiba stopped their argument with confusion.

 

"Um… What happened?" Naruto asked while scratching his head. "I feel like we missed something."

 

"Beats me." Kiba replied while shifting his gaze between the faces of his classmates.

 

"*Bark!* *Bark!*" Akamaru added in agreement with Kiba.

 

That short conversation was enough to snap the other kids out of their stupors.

 

"Wait! Does that mean you moved Hinata onto the couch, Alfonzo?" Sasuke asked in an astonished tone. Then, he pointed at Rika and continued. "But I activated my Sharingan as soon as I felt her move. So, I kinda saw her get next to Hinata. But I couldn't see you move at all."

 

Hearing that, Rika could not help but pout. She was quite confident in her speed, after all. That was how she had never been seen by the enemy on a quest. Because, after shooting from a sniping point, she would quickly relocate to another vantage point. Yet, it was clear that Alfonzo outclassed her in speed. And by a lot.

 

'How the hell is someone so big so damn fast?' Rika asked herself while pouting at Alfonzo. 'Well, at least he's not so fast when it counts. At least, that's what Lici and the other girls say. I wonder when Shizuka is gonna get some. Maybe I should convince her that we could test it together. *Sigh* But if I'm not at least his girlfriend, he won't even consider it.'

 

Despite the thoughts running through her head, Rika glanced at Sasuke with interest. The fact that he could barely keep up with her movements was impressive. And she knew that his eyes were the only reason he could do so.

 

'I bet he would make a great marksman.' Rika thought to herself. 'With the ability to track a target like that, he'd probably be an even better shot than me. I wonder if he'd consider picking up magic guns. Actually, I wouldn't mind having an eye like that, too. That Kakashi guy has one, right? I wonder what it would take for me to get one? I'll have to ask Alfonzo about it later.'

 

Saeko was thinking the same as Rika, though in regards to swords instead of guns. And she was wondering if Sasuke was the one Alfonzo wanted her to training swordsmanship. She was also wondering if it would be possible for her to get a Sharingan for herself.

 

While Saeko and Rika drifted off into their own thoughts, Alfonzo reached for his lPhone, which he had sat on the coffee table in front of the couch. Then, after unlocking it, he started scrolling through the pictures he had taken.

 

"Well, if you wanna see him, I have a lot~~~ of pictures." Alfonzo said, replying to Hinata's earlier mumbling with a smile.

 

Then, Alfonzo scooted a little closer to Hinata before showing her the screen of his lPhone. And on the screen was a picture of Amar'e in his crib while he reached up towards the camera.

 

"Aww~~~~!" Hinata cooed while staring down at the lPhone screen.

 

While Sasuke scowled at not getting an answer to his question, Ino and Sakura were the first to move closer to Hinata so they could see the picture of Amar'e. Shortly afterwards, Shikamaru, Choji, and Shino also got closer in curiosity. Eventually, even Sasuke moved to see the pictures of Alfonzo's son.

 

"Huh? What's going on, now?" Naruto asked in a confused tone.

 

"I have no idea." Kiba replied, sounding just as confused as Naruto.

 

"They're looking at pictures of Alfonzo's son, Amar'e." Wendy said, explaining what was going on for Naruto and Kiba.

 

While Kiba was curious to see Alfonzo's pup, as he put it, Naruto acted in a much more explosive manner. As soon as he heard Wendy's explanation, Naruto dashed behind the couch. Then, he leaned forward from right behind Hinata. As a result, his face was directly to the left of Hinata's head. In fact, he was so close that his right cheek was touching Hinata's left one.

 

Unsurprisingly, Hinata's blush, that had receded after seeing the pictures of Amar'e, returned with a vengeance when she realized that her cheek was touching Naruto's. Then, steam once again shot out of her head before she fainted immediately.

 

"Huh?" Naruto exclaimed in confusion when he felt Hinata's weight on his head. Then, when he looked to his side and saw Hinata had fainted with a glowing red face, he panicked. "Hinata, are you okay? Alfonzo, something is wrong with Hinata, what should we do?"

 

In response, everyone sighed at Naruto's denseness. However, Alfonzo moved to lay Hinata down on the couch so that she could recover.

 

Naturally, that ended the picture viewing session. Then Alfonzo got back to the original topic.

 

"It sounds like all of you have been working hard while I was gone." Alfonzo said with a smile. "So, how about showing me your progress?"

 

The shinobi kids, other than Hinata, for obvious reasons, nodded in response. Then, after asking Miyuki to look after Hinata, Alfonzo led the eight children outside to check their progress. Wendy, Carla, Saeko, and Rika followed them in curiosity, as well.

 

When they got outside, Alfonzo spent about an hour assessing the progress of the children. Hinata and Miyuki even joined them after about a half an hour. And what Alfonzo saw impressed him.

 

With the exception of Naruto, the others had greatly increased their magic power control. However, when he saw that Naruto was still struggling to control his magic power, Alfonzo was not disappointed. He knew the reason for it, after all.

 

After that, he tested them in physical strength, shuriken technique, and hand-to-hand fighting, letting all of them spar with him for a few minutes each. Then, he had them all perform the three academy level Ninjutsu, the [Substitution Jutsu], the [Transformation Jutsu], and the [Clone Jutsu].

 

And once again, he was impressed with what he saw. Other than Naruto, the other eight kids were able to use all three Jutsu without issue. Naruto, on the other hand, was only able to perform two of the three. However, his [Clone Jutsu] was subpar, at best.

 

After all the test were over, Alfonzo invited the eight children to have dinner. And since Alfonzo would be cooking, they all accepted eagerly. However, everyone could tell that Naruto was quite down after having such a poor showing when it came to magic power control and the [Clone Jutsu].

 

After dinner, the nine kids left. However, as they were leaving, Alfonzo stopped Naruto to talk to him.

 

"Hey, Naruto, can I talk to you for a minute?" Alfonzo asked.

 

"Huh?" Naruto asked as he turned around. "What's up, Big Bro Alfonzo?"

 

Hearing that, the other kids also stopped, curious what Alfonzo would say to Naruto.

 

"You guys can head home." Alfonzo said, waving off the others. "I just wanna talk to Naruto for a second. He'll be right behind you, I promise."

 

Though they were curious, the others eventually turned back around and continued home. Then, Alfonzo sat down to the residence's veranda and patted the spot beside him, signaling Naruto to take a seat, as well.

 

"So, what's up, Big Bro Alfonzo?" Naruto asked once again after sitting down.

 

"I know you're disappointed in yourself because of how you did when it comes to magic power control and the [Clone Jutsu]." Alfonzo replied in a consoling tone. "And I won't say there's nothing to worry about. Because that could be a serious issue in the future."

 

Hearing that, Naruto lowered his head and clenched his fists in frustration.

 

"I've worked so hard to get it right." Naruto said in a frustrated tone. "But no matter how hard I try, I just can't do it."

 

By this point, though they were in the house, Wendy, Carla, Saeko, Rika and Miyuki were eavesdropping from the front door. And although Alfonzo knew they were there, he did not worry about their presence. Naruto, on the other hand, had no idea they were nearby.

 

"Yeah, I can see how hard you've worked." Alfonzo said while patting Naruto on the head. "And I know why you're having so much trouble."

 

"really?" Naruto asked as he lifted his head.

 

"Yeah." Alfonzo replied with a nod.

 

"Then, please tell me." Naruto asked eagerly. "And tell me what I should do. I don't wanna fail the graduation exam."

 

Unlike in the canon version of Naruto's story, Naruto had not taken the graduation exam early. And the reason for that was simple, he thought he would have more time to train with Alfonzo if he remained at the academy. He wanted to be strong enough to become the Hokage someday, after all.

 

"Chill out, Naruto." Alfonzo replied with a smile. "I'm gonna tell you. Just take it easy, alright?"

 

Instead of calming down like Alfonzo said, Naruto stared at him with great intensity, causing Alfonzo to smile even wider. And because he could see the eagerness in Naruto's eyes, he decided to not keep him waiting any longer.

 

"The reason you have so much trouble controlling your magic power is because of how much you have." Alfonzo explained, his expression turning serious as he spoke. "You outclass your friends in the amount of magic power by a lot. And because of how much you have, it's hard to control."

 

'I wanna tell him about Kurama, too.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 'But for some dumb, fucking reason, the village decided to keep it a secret. And that's dangerous as hell. I mean, both Mito and Kushina were aware they were Jinchuriki. So, why the hell would they keep it a secret from Naruto. I need to talk to Hiruzen about this tomorrow. You know what, I'm gonna ask him about why their keeping it a secret that his father is Minato, too.'

 

To explain what a Jinchuriki is, we would have to talk about the Tailed Beasts. These Tailed Beasts are giant, sentient creatures created from magic power itself. However, they were not formed naturally. In this world, they were actually created by Zeref. They were the first of demons he created centuries ago.

 

However, unlike the rest of his demons, or rather, Etherious, they were simply the products of his first experiments to create life. Meaning, they did not have the same programming as the others. And because of that, he was unable to control them.

 

These Tailed beasts were a group of nine Beasts each having a number of tails from one to nine. And the number of tails denoted how powerful they were.

 

And when one of these Tailed Beasts is [Sealed] inside of a shinobi, that is when a Jinchuriki is created. AS for Mito, or rather Mito Senju, formerly Mito Uzumaki, she was the wife of Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage, and the first Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Kurama.

 

Then, just before Mito passed away from old age, Kurama was transferred to Kushina, or Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto's mother, making her the second Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

 

Unfortunately, because of the plots of others, with Danzo having a huge hand in them, Kushina was killed on the day she gave birth to Naruto. And to keep Kurama from rampaging, as well as to keep him as a strategic resource for the village, Minato Namikaze, Naruto's father and the Fourth Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, sacrificed his life to [Seal] Kurama into the newborn Naruto.

 

But for some reason, after Minato and Kushina passed away, the village thought it was a good idea to keep the fact that he was a Jinchuriki and who his parents were a secret from Naruto. And Alfonzo intended to talk to Hiruzen about that, tomorrow after he finished working on the training grounds.

 

It should also be known that Minato wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero in the village. Because had the Nine-Tailed Fox not been [Sealed] inside him, it would have continued to rampage in the village. And that would have more than likely destroyed it in the end.

 

As for how he knew who Naruto's parents were? Well, he had no obvious reason to know about Kushina. But Minato's face was carved into the Hokage Rock, a monument like Mt. Rushmore for the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and Minato and Naruto were almost identical in every way. So, you would have to either be completely unobservant or a total moron to not be able to put two and two together. Which made Alfonzo question the collective intelligence of the citizens of the village.

 

On a side note, the species of nine-tailed foxes that could be found on Earth land are all offspring of Kurama after he mated with fox-type magical beasts over the years.

 

"That's also the reason you are having trouble making a decent clone." Alfonzo continued while pushing those thoughts to the back of his mind for now. "But don't worry, I'll make sure you have damn near perfect control of your magic power by the time you graduate."

 

Hearing the confidence in Alfonzo's tone, Naruto finally calmed down a bit. However, his emotions had spiked by quite a bit, as well. Then, he flung himself at Alfonzo and wrapped him in a tight hug.

 

"Thank you, Big Bro." Naruto mutter quietly after getting his emotions under control.

 

As previously mentioned, Naruto has not been treated well by the citizens of the village for as long as he could remember. He had either been bullied or outright ignored for years. So, to have someone show so much concern, he was truly moved.

 

'He's just like Iruka-Sensei.' Naruto thought to himself while continuing to hug Alfonzo. 'I should introduce them some day. I bet they would get along great.'

 

With that thought, Naruto released Alfonzo. Then, he sprung up and started running after his friends.

 

"I'll see you tomorrow, Big Bro Alfonzo!" Naruto shouted while running away. "Bye!"

 

Meanwhile, the visitors from Magnolia simply watched him go. Then, once Naruto could no longer be seen, Alfonzo stood up from the veranda before turning around to return to the house. When he did, however, he saw the five ladies all staring at him with gentle smiles on their faces.

 

"Amar'e's really lucky." Saeko said while continuing to smile.

 

In response, the other ladies all nodded their heads while Alfonzo smiled.

 

"Anyway, I'm gonna hit the sack." Alfonzo said, deciding not to comment. "I gotta get up early to train and work. So, I'll see you all in the morning."

 

With that, Alfonzo stepped onto the veranda before entering the house and heading to his bedroom to get some sleep. Meanwhile, the ladies all watched him go. Then, they all decided to head to their bedrooms, as well.
