Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

As soon as he entered the flower shop, Ryun saw the two women he most wanted to see.

"Mom, Kushina, so you're both here."

Because the new shop had just opened and this street didn't have much foot traffic, both Asuka and Kushina were quite free inside the shop.

When the two women saw Ryun, their faces almost simultaneously showed expressions of extreme joy.

"Son."

"Ryun."

Asuka quickly stepped forward and pulled her son into a tight hug, so happy that tears fell in that moment.

"Why were you gone for so long? Mom was worried sick about you."

Ryun had never been away from her side for this long since he was born. Because she was extremely worried about her son's safety, she had gone to the Hokage Building to look for Sarutobi Hiruzen two or three times.

"Because the mission was in another country, and it also took a lot of time, so it dragged on until now."

Ryun's face turned red as he broke free from Asuka's embrace, then gave a rough explanation.

However, since S-rank and A-rank missions were confidential, even though he had completed the mission, theoretically he couldn't disclose details.

"What? You went abroad."

Asuka looked very surprised. She had thought her son was doing missions within the country with Orochimaru. From what ordinary people like her knew, foreign countries were very chaotic and dangerous.

"Yes. I'll explain in more detail when we get home."

Shinobi had confidentiality regulations. Although he wasn't a shinobi yet, he couldn't discuss missions in a place like the flower shop.

"Let's go, let's go home now. We're not opening the shop today. There aren't many customers anyway."

Asuka was already packing up to close the shop as she spoke.

Ryun found this somewhat funny.

"Little Tomato."

Ryun walked to Kushina's side and directly held her hand.

This girl had been very happy to see him, but because Asuka was present, she had to be reserved, so she only dared to stand nearby and didn't dare interrupt when mother and son were talking.

Now facing Little Brat's affectionate greeting, Kushina's face turned red for a moment, but she smiled very happily.

"Did you miss me."

Ryun teased her as usual.

Kushina peeked at Asuka, and seeing that the other person was packing and not paying attention here, she quietly complained.

"You were gone for over a month. Auntie couldn't even sleep well from worry."

"What about you? Nana, were you worried about me?" Ryun leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Stop asking questions you already know the answers to. Big dummy." Kushina glared at him shyly.

That adorable shy look made Ryun laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing about? Go outside, I need to close the shop." Asuka walked over and pushed the two youngsters out of the flower shop.

After locking the shop door, without even asking Kushina's opinion, she held one in each hand and happily pulled them toward home.

Ryun and Kushina couldn't help but exchange a smile behind her back.

After arriving home, Ryun gave a simplified explanation of his mission, avoiding the mission rank, then asked about their situation.

"Kushina, why were you at the flower shop?"

"Nana has been helping me manage the flower shop recently. Afraid I'd be too bored, she's been coming to the shop to keep me company."

Asuka poured them some fragrant tea and took over the conversation.

"Not really, I didn't help Auntie much. Mainly I like flowers and didn't have anywhere else to go." Kushina smiled sheepishly and explained quietly.

Auntie Asuka treated her very well and valued her. Kushina felt a long-lost maternal love from her.

Plus, with Ryun being away for so long, she had gone to the flower shop almost every day, bonding with Auntie Asuka while also waiting for Little Brat to return.

"Is that so."

Ryun looked at her with a smile, making her somewhat embarrassed.

"By the way, son, Yamazaki Akira comes by every day asking about you. He said if you don't resume updates soon and the Dragon Ball manga gets discontinued, he'll hang himself at our doorstep."

Asuka shared this news with a smile.

"Also, recently he brought a large sum of manuscript fees, saying it's the profit share. A lot of it was his personal tip for you, just hoping you'd quickly update the next part."

"I actually forgot about this."

The mission taking a month was unexpected, so Yamazaki Akira's urgency was understandable.

Soon, Ryun created a shadow clone specifically to write the manuscript and deliver it to Yamazaki Akira.

This was his source of income, so it couldn't just stop. The current earnings were already substantial, and as the Dragon Ball manga spread further, his income would only increase.

"One more thing. Your old pal Dai got married a few days ago. He originally wanted to invite you to the wedding."

Asuka dropped another bombshell.

"What."

Ryun stood up from the sofa in shock.

"How long has Dai's relationship been? They're already married?"

Might Dai having a flash marriage was completely unexpected, but thinking about Dai's personality, this wasn't surprising at all.

A sudden small emotional moment might have been enough to make Dai tearfully propose on the spot.

"Then. Mom, did you give a gift on my behalf?" Ryun hurriedly asked.

"Of course I did. He came to notify you very formally, how could I be rude."

"But he kept refusing, so in the end I gave the gift money to his wife."

Asuka explained the general situation.

"Good. But that's not enough. Later I'll visit his home and prepare another wedding gift."

Might Dai could be considered half a teacher to him, teaching him many taijutsu techniques. Now that he was married, Ryun couldn't just give one gift.

'Dai had a flash marriage, so Might Gai's birth probably isn't far off.' Ryun silently thought to himself.

"Nana, have you completed your 'tree climbing' training?"

On the bench behind the house, the two sat close together as Ryun took the chance to ask about her progress.

"Of course. Mere 'tree climbing' couldn't possibly challenge me. The day after you left Konoha, I successfully mastered this chakra control technique."

Kushina lifted her chin proudly, her 'praise me' look making Ryun laugh.

"Really? Is Nana really that amazing?"

For this training, the more chakra one had, the harder it was to master. Post-graduation Naruto and Sasuke took several days to master this. Kushina mastered it in less than two days?

Actually, she had fallen repeatedly for five days before mastering this technique.

The reason she said this was because Ryun mastered it in one night. If she told the truth, Little Brat might look down on her, and if he used this to tease her later, it would be unbearable.

"Of course it's true. Who do you think I am."

Kushina forced an awkward smile.

"Well well, look how capable you are."

"Since you've preliminarily grasped chakra control, tomorrow I'll teach you the next step in deeper mastery. The 'water walking' training."

As he spoke, Ryun's face showed a somewhat lecherous smile.

Swimsuit Kushina? Or drenched Kushina? He was already looking forward to tomorrow.
