Night fell, ending a day of training.
Naruto arrived at the Hot Spring Hotel, and as he prepared to bathe and eat, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.
But it was normal; for Naruto, although Karin was a member of his clan, in terms of their relationship, she was ultimately just a stranger he had just met.
Anyway, it wasn't anything important, so even if he forgot about her, it was normal.
However, it was still a very rude thing to do.
After taking a bath, a somewhat embarrassed Naruto asked Karin to have dinner with him.
"Naruto-nii."
After not seeing him for a few days, Karin was particularly enthusiastic and rushed straight over.
Feeling guilty, Naruto didn't dodge, hugged Karin, and then pulled her to sit down at the table.
During the meal, he kept picking up all kinds of delicious food for Karin, while briefly explaining that he had some things to deal with these past few days and definitely didn't forget about her.
Karin didn't care about this, happily telling Naruto about her life these past few days, and at Naruto's inquiry, she told him about her physical recovery without reservation.
After dinner, Naruto took Karin's pulse and carefully examined her with his Kagura Mind's Eye.
He found that after Karin was no longer endlessly drained of her life force, and coupled with eating well and living well, her physical condition had recovered a lot, at least no longer showing the signs of an early death before the age of twenty.
However, the problem of severe physical depletion had not been completely resolved.
Even if she maintained her current comfortable lifestyle, Karin was destined not to live a long life.
"Karin, starting tomorrow, I will prescribe you a Qi-Boosting and Blood-Nourishing, as well as a Mind-Soothing and Brain-Boosting prescription, divided into internal and external use. I will instruct the maids to prepare a medicinal bath for you, and you must go to soak on time, it will be good for your body."
"In addition, I will hire a teacher for you to teach you some basic ninja knowledge."
"After you learn it, I will teach you the exclusive abilities of our Uzumaki Clan."
Releasing her hand, Naruto smiled.
There is a lot of medical knowledge in the Learning Space, and Naruto has learned a lot.
At this moment, it is not a problem to find one or two prescriptions that can be used in the Ninja World to make up for Karin's physical deficiencies.
However, Karin's living environment was too poor when she was a child, so even if this is the case, it will only allow Karin to live to the lifespan of ordinary people at most. It is impossible to live a long life like a normal Uzumaki Clan member.
"Thank you, Naruto-nii."
Unconsciously, Karin cried again.
Tears fell down like a string of broken beads.
However, Karin's crying at this moment was not sad, but full of joy.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever cared for her like Naruto. Naruto was the first person to give her a sense of importance and warmth.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you're becoming a little cat."
Naruto was a little helpless, and pulled out a tissue from the side to wipe Karin's tears.
Although his situation was the same as Karin's when he was a child, he was already used to it, and had tempered a cold and hard heart. Even when he cried, he endured it alone.
So, Naruto could empathize with Karin's feelings, but he lacked the experience to deal with them.
His girlfriend, Hinata, wasn't a crybaby or a timid girl.
After comforting her for a good while, Karin finally stopped crying. Then, reluctantly, she bid farewell to Naruto and obediently went to sleep.
And Naruto, after instructing the maids, also left the Hot Spring Hotel and returned to his own home to sleep.
Early the next morning, Iruka was summoned from his home by Naruto.
"C-rank mission, private tutor, lasting one month. The mission objective is to teach Uzumaki Karin a series of basic ninja skills, from the basic Three Body Technique to Water Walking and Tree Climbing. The mission reward is One Million Ryo."
Naruto finished speaking and stuffed a mission scroll, which he had just obtained from Sarutobi Hiruzen, into the hands of a bewildered Iruka.
Before Iruka could refuse, Naruto had already poofed away in a cloud of smoke.
"Is this really happening?"
Iruka looked at Naruto, who had disappeared in a puff of smoke, completely baffled.
And when Iruka prepared his teaching tools and arrived at the Heavens and Earth Hot Spring Hotel, he was even more confused.
Upon hearing that Iruka was the private tutor Naruto had found for Karin, the hotel manager immediately adopted the attitude of treating a distinguished guest, first leading Iruka to enjoy a good bath and a delicious meal.
Then, he brought him to Karin.
Looking at Karin's red hair and equally red pupils, Iruka suddenly understood why Naruto had called him over.
"A surviving member of the Uzumaki Clan?"
Iruka muttered to himself, then adopted the most serious attitude and began to teach Karin a series of basic ninja skills.
This was not only to live up to Naruto's trust but also to be worthy of the One Million Ryo reward, a huge sum of money that Iruka couldn't earn in a year.
Under the Waterfall, Sasuke, who was sweating profusely during physical strengthening training, asked Naruto, who was also sweating, "Why are you giving such a high reward for a C-rank mission? It's not easy to earn One Million Ryo."
Naruto continued his movements, answering, "Three reasons. First, to explain to the Third Hokage that she is a member of my clan, and I value her, to prevent them from having ulterior motives. Second, to use the money to shut their mouths and let them solve the problems of the Grass Ninja Village."
"Third, it's to give Iruka some benefits, after all, he is our teacher."
Hearing this, Sasuke's face showed interest, "Will the Hokage do as you think?"
"What do you think?"
Naruto didn't want to answer this question at all.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't take the cue he gave him, would he really hand Karin over and give him, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, an excuse to go berserk?
Moreover, no matter what, the friendship between the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha was passed down from their ancestors. The Whirlpool symbol is still painted on the back of Konoha ninjas' flak jackets.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others didn't care about this, and would still stab them in the back if they had the chance, they still had to protect the surviving members of the Uzumaki Clan on the surface.
Sasuke curled his lips, feeling that he had been looked down upon by Naruto again.
But he wasn't too angry.
The reason being, he was used to it...
The Waterfall side, thus, quieted down.
After cultivating for another period, Kurama in the Sealing Space suddenly called out to Naruto.
He sent a Shadow Clone over to see what was happening, and then Naruto heard Kurama excitedly holding a laptop as he came over, stuffing it into Naruto's hands.
"Hurry and take a look, this is the enhanced version of Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor that I carefully modified and reset. Remember to give your opinion after reading it. Let me tell you, this time I completely overturned and rewrote it, the changes are especially big."
"You will definitely love it after reading it!"
