Chapter 111: Sparring
"Oh! You're really awesome. We really teleported right into our home!" Naruto said in an excited tone as Fukasaku nodded proudly.
"EVERYONE! I'M BACK!!!"
"Welcome back, Naruto. But first of all, what did I tell you? Never shout when you come back. The kids might be sleeping. Well, they are sleeping right now." Akihiko said as Naruto just laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.
"Also, I wish you good luck." Akihiko said as he patted Naruto's back.
"Huh? Thanks… although I don't know why you're wishing luck for me."
"You'll know sooner or later." Akihiko just replied as Naruto was confused.
"Oh ho, Akihiko-boy, you became a lot stronger than before." Fukasaku commented as Akihiko nodded.
"Of course. I'll always get stronger. I need to have enough strength so that even if the whole universe comes at me, I can defeat them with a sneeze."
Fukasaku and Naruto looked at him weirdly.
"Naruto, welcome back!" Kushina came out with a smile together with Mikoto. The others were still in the kids' room, taking pictures of them.
[a/n: There are cameras in Naruto, right? This world is confusing. There are both advanced and old stuff.]
"Mom, I learned many things on Mt.Myoboku! Also, hello, Mikoto-san!" Naruto said excitedly as Kushina smiled. Mikoto looked away as she thought, 'Poor child, you should have told Kushina before you went out.'
"Sure. Let's spar for a while."
"Yes, mom!" Naruto said with a large smile while Fukasaku already sensed that something was wrong.
He turned towards Akihiko and jumped on his shoulders.
"Naruto's in trouble, am I right?" He whispered as Akihiko nodded.
"Also, damn. Are you a monster? Or an alien? How much natural energy do you have? When I sensed it earlier, it wasn't this huge."
"Well, you're just getting old." Akihiko said bluntly as Fukasaku nodded.
"Old… old….."
"Just accept the fact. You're old and you can't change it."
"Yeah, you're right. I am indeed old. So, wanna tell me how you managed to absorb that much natural energy?"
"No. But I can give you this." Akihiko said as he took out a cookie.
"Hm? What is this? Naruto was eating this during training too."
"Just try it." Akihiko said as Fukasaku ate the cookie.
"Ohhh~ It's delicious."
"Yeah? Can you help me introduce this to the toads at Mount Myoboku? I would appreciate it."
"Of course. I'll be off now!" Fukasaku disappeared with a puff of smoke as he took a few cookies.
While this was happening, Naruto already followed Kushina to the training area in the Uchiha Household.
"Ah right. I should go and place a seal in the kids' room. The sound of them sparring might wake them up." Akihiko said as he disappeared from his place.
He started drawing a seal on the wall of the kids' room and he finished it in a second.
"Akihiko?" Izumi came out as she smiled at Akihiko.
"Akihiko. Look at these photos!" She said as dashed beside Akihiko and showed the photos of the kids' sleeping.
Yugao, Anko, Pakura, Ayame and Haku also came out as they showed him the best photos.
"Damn, we should place these photos in THE photo album." Akihiko said as his wives approved.
"Of course."
He took out the album from his inventory and none of his wives were surprised. They were already used to Akihiko pulling things out of nowhere.
"Oh. Those photos. They are when the kids first walked."
"Ahhhh! Look! Look! That was when Akihiko was sleeping. The kids were playing with his face."
They remembered some moments and then placed the photos in the remaining spaces of the album.
"Well, let's leave this for later when Mikoto and Kushina come back." Akihiko said as he closed the album.
"Sure. Let's go to the training ground."
Akihiko then got a sudden question.
'System, you there?'
[Yes, host.]
'Why are there no perverted quests given for the past few years? You're supposed to be the perverted system.'
[Fucking dumbass.]
'Hm? Repeat that again?'
[Host, this system is the Slightly Perverted System. As time passed, this system has also matured. This system is no longer perverted but cultured.
Host should also control himself. You are a husband and a father. You need to keep your dignity.]
'Oh, have you gained sentience?' Akihiko asked as the system replied.
[I'm sorry, Host. I do not understand the question.]
'Nevermind.'

"Mom, wait for a while. I need to enter sage mode." Naruto said as Kushina nodded.
"Sure. But remember, in real battles, no one will wait for you to enter sage mode."
"Of course, mom." Naruto said before going into a mediation position.
'Kushina! Kushina! Can I go and beat my other half?' Kurumi asked with enthusiasm as Kushina replied.
'Nope.'
'Whyyyyyyy?' Kurumi questioned as Kushina answered.
'He should already be scared. If you beat him further, he would get PTSD.'
'Oh.' Kurumi was dejected before she asked.
'T-then, can you let me out more often? It's boring here.'
'Sure, Kurumi. Don't cause mischief, alright?'
'Of course. You can trust me!' Kurumi answered as she sweated a bit.
Then, Kushina turned her head around as Akihiko came out together with everyone. She waved at them and they returned the wave.
They all sat on the free space on the floor near the training grounds as they were waiting for Naruto to finish his meditating.
After around 4 minutes, Naruto finally finished. There was an orange line around his eyes and his pupils had a thick horizontal line in the middle.
"I'm ready."
"Alright."
"I won't lose easily, dattebayo!" Naruto said as he dashed forward at high speeds.
"Oh, you became faster. But is that all you got?" Kushina said as she also dashed forward.
They met in the middle as Naruto tried to punch Kushina. Kushina turned her body and used her left arm to push Naruto's arm down.Then, she used her right fist to punch Naruto's gut.
Kushina also managed to get a scratch on her arm as Naruto used senjutsu chakra to act as an aura around his fists.
Kushina and the spectators were all surprised. Except for Akihiko. He was thinking, 'He could use more training. He isn't bringing out the full potential of the senjutsu chakra. If he is as strong as me, then he doesn't have to care about it too much… but he's weak. Very weak.'
"Ugh!" Naruto grunted as he was pushed back several meters. His stomach was aching and Kurama who was inside Naruto's stomach was also panicked.
'Ahaha, as expected of mom.' Naruto said before he went for another go. This time he was even faster as Kushina tried to predict where he would come from.
She punched the location as Naruto dodged it by a hairbreadth. He then tried to kick Kushina but it was blocked by Kushina using her arms. However, Naruto smiled as he expected this to happen.
He quickly spun around as he kicked another time. This time, Kushina moved a little from her place. Naruto smiled as his attack managed to move Kushina.
"You really did improve. Well, let's step up a notch." Kushina said as she decided to use a "bit" more force.
She disappeared from her place as Naruto sensed something. He quickly dodged backward as he let out a sigh of relief.
Kushina just punched the ground and the ground cracked and created a small crater.
"M-mom?"
Kushina didn't reply, as she had already disappeared again. Naruto dodged using his senses and perception as the training ground was starting to build a collection of craters.
This repeated for quite some time as Naruto kept leaping around using Frog Kata. Then, while he was running from another attack, he tripped on a piece of rock that was shattered from Kushina's previous punches.
"Ah, fuck!" He muttered as he rolled on the ground as he managed to dodge the attack once again. However, as he was close to the attack, the impact of the punch hit him.
The rocks that were broken from the ground hit some parts of his body but that was not the main problem here. Kushina was already ready with another punch as Naruto used frog kata.
He leaped off the ground as fast as possible and dodged Kushina's attack once again. But this time, he knew the timing. He jumped forward at high speeds and used senjutsu chakra as an aura. He threw out a punch and Kushina blocked it using her hands.
This time, the attack managed to bruise her again as she gained a few injuries and some blood flowed down.
Naruto also fell down as his sage mode was over.
'Kurama? Kurama? Help?'
'Oi! I don't want to get beaten too. If I help you, then your mother will also bring out my other half. I'll also get beaten.'
Then, Kurama ignored Naruto as he slept.
The injuries that Kushina had disappeared after a short while as she had heightened healing as a jinchuuriki.
"Naruto…."
*Gulp*
"Yes, mom?"
"You improved. Next time, let's spar seriously. Use jutsus and everything in your arsenal." Kushina said as she patted his head.
Naruto nodded.
Kushina walked away as she went and talked with her "sisters". They then entered the house as only Akihiko and Naruto were left outside.
"Naruto."
"Yeah?"
"Did you slack off at Mount Myoboku?"
"No."
"Then, why didn't you use all your techniques efficiently."
"B-but mom-"
"Kushina can easily kill you in an instant if she wanted to."
Naruto then closed his mouth as Akihiko continued.
"Well, to make you use all your techniques efficiently, I'll spar with you every day, starting from tomorrow." Akihiko said as Naruto was scared.
"I-it won't be as bad as when we were kids right?" He asked with a shaky smile as Akihiko just smiled back.
"Right?"
Akihiko walked away as Naruto's smile vanished.
"Ah…. I regret agreeing to Mom's request."
-----
"We're almost there. Let's split up and search for them." Kakashi said as Kurenai continued.
"Act like normal civilians. Even if they notice that we're there, it's best to fight in a place away from the civilians."
"So, is the team formation just like we discussed?" Asuma asked as Kakashi nodded.
"Yes. Hidan will be entrusted to Asuma, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Shino and Kurenai."
Then, Shino muttered.
"Kiba, why did you get diarrhea at the most important time. Now, you're resting in Konoha."
They nodded as Asuma asked Shikamaru.
"Shikamaru, you already have a plan in mind, right?"
"Yeah." He nodded and replied.
"As for Kakuzu, he has 5 different hearts; so me, Guy, Sakura, Hinata, Neji, Lee will fight against him."
"Mm. Let's spread out."
They then dispersed in different groups and entered the area. Meanwhile, Hidan and Kakuzu were walking around in plain sight.
"Have you heard of Jashin-sama?"
"No. Son, walk faster." The mother-son duo walked away as fast as possible as Hidan switched his target.
"Jashin-sama is the one and only god. Do you want to join me to worship Jashin-sama?"
He asked as he approached a teenage boy.
"No. This sounds like a scam."
"Scam?! Hah?! Are you saying that Jashin-sama is a scam?!" Hidan was annoyed while Kakuzu sensed that something was wrong.
"Hidan."
"What?"
"Don't you sense something off?"
"Of course I do."
"I see. You must be thinking the same thing as me."
"Of course. We must cut this boy in half and offer his blood for Jashin-sama." Hidan answered with a grin as the boy ran away.
Kakuzu deadpanned as he shook his head.
"Keep walking forward. There are several people following us. We have to find a good place for us to kill them."
