Sakura was also worried that her strength would hold back Team 7. Under Naruto's guidance, she had recently been going to Konoha Hospital to practice occasionally, learning some basic medical ninjutsu.
Additionally, because she had very strong Chakra control and great strength, she was currently exploring how to use the Monster Strength technique on her own.
Of course, this was also under Naruto's guidance.
Concentrating a large amount of Chakra on her fist, and then releasing all the Chakra at the moment of impact.
Coupled with Sakura's already incredibly skilled Three Body Techniques, Sakura's combat power was not to be underestimated.
After helping Sakura train with the Sakura Strike for a while, the two of them spent some time in the forest raising pets before nightfall, and then they reluctantly parted ways.
"Naruto, you're back!"
As soon as Naruto entered the house, Yugao, hearing the commotion, ran out from the kitchen and gave Naruto a deep hug.
Naruto nuzzled against her, realizing that pets of mature women were indeed more adorable.
"Stop fooling around!" Yugao chided gently, patting Naruto's head, but the affection on her face was evident.
"Did Sister Yugao finally finish the mission? I missed you so much!" Naruto wouldn't back down just because he was rebuffed. Instead, he hugged her tighter, wriggling around in Yugao's arms.
Although Yugao's cheeks were a little flushed, she had gradually gotten used to Naruto's behavior.
Even though she knew that their actions were somewhat inappropriate, she couldn't bring herself to refuse him outright.
In the end, she let Naruto take advantage, before pushing him away. She then tapped his forehead with her slender fingers, and chided, "It's only been a day since we last met, there's no need to be so dramatic. You just want to take advantage of me, don't you, you little rascal!"
As their relationship grew closer, Naruto was no longer shy about taking advantage of her, something Yugao had long noticed.
Naruto chuckled, "It's because Sister Yugao is so beautiful. There's no one more beautiful than you in all of Konoha, so I'm being serious when I say I want to marry you."
"I don't believe you!" Yugao wrinkled her nose, saying, "Don't think I don't know. You already have two little girlfriends at school. And if I'm not mistaken, that Tenten who's a year older than you, you have something going on with her, right?"
Before, when the two of them were training their taijutsu at the training ground, they had bumped into Tenten. Because Yugao was there, they had only exchanged a few words.
Unexpectedly, just from that, Yugao could tell their relationship wasn't ordinary.
Naruto stepped forward, hugging Yugao's waist, and laughed, "But my favorite is still Yugao-nee-san. They have no... ahem, and no... ahem... How can they compare to Yugao-nee-san?"
"What a playboy!" Yugao laughed and scolded, pushing Naruto away, "Alright, alright, go take a shower first. You're covered in sweat."
"Yugao-nee-san, let's shower together, or you can help me wash," Naruto grabbed Yugao's hand, interlacing their fingers, playing the rogue.
"Dream on!" Yugao patted his head, her expression becoming slightly serious: "No fooling around. I still need to cook. You can eat after you're done showering."
Seeing Yugao was serious, Naruto could only shrug helplessly and ran off to take a shower by himself.
Sigh, the road ahead is long and arduous; I need to work even harder to achieve my goals.
What made Naruto happy was that Yugao didn't mind him using her bathtub and toiletries.
The fact she didn't mind meant she truly considered Naruto one of her own. It was only a matter of time before their relationship deepened.
"Wow, there's so much delicious food!"
A ninja's speed was impressive. Naruto finished his bath in just a few minutes and came out to find the table already laden with food.
Yugao was just bringing in the last pot of soup and said with a smile, "I wanted to celebrate your successful graduation from the academy yesterday, but I was called away on a mission. Of course, I had to make it up to you today."
"You should have met your team's Jonin today, right? This is also a celebration for you officially becoming a Genin."
Yugao's cooking wasn't particularly amazing. After all, she was an Anbu member and often missed regular mealtimes due to missions. She often had to rely on soldier pills to stave off hunger.
However, since she lived alone from a young age and was thoughtful, she was still competent with housework.
To celebrate Naruto officially becoming a ninja, Yugao had started preparing this meal several days ago.
"Mmm, delicious! Sister Yugao really has the potential to be a Good Wife and Wise Mother," Naruto said, giving Yugao a thumbs up after trying every dish and devouring them.
Yugao knew Naruto liked meat, so she put a chicken leg in his mouth, laughing and scolding, "Can't you keep your mouth shut while eating?"
However, it was clear that Yugao didn't mind Naruto calling her "wife" either.
But soon, Naruto discovered that Yugao seemed to be forcing a smile, and her mood was actually a little low.
It was only when she was with Naruto that her mood could relax a little, which was why Naruto hadn't noticed at first.
"Sister Yugao, is something wrong?" Naruto put down his chopsticks and asked, frowning.
He noticed that Yugao had quietly swapped the beverage in her glass for red wine, and had already drunk more than half a glass without him noticing.
"No, I'm fine! What could be wrong?" Yugao feigned ignorance. "I'm just happy for you that you've become a ninja, and I'm also worried that you might encounter danger while on missions."
"Don't try to hide anything from me!" Naruto's expression was serious. "Sister Yugao, I know you very well. Even if you just furrow your brow, I know what you're thinking."
"So, if you have something on your mind, you must tell me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep from worry. You don't want me to fail Kakashi-sensei's test tomorrow, do you?"
"Sigh, you..." Yugao hadn't wanted to say anything, but with Naruto pressing her like this, what else could she do?
In truth, Yugao's low spirits were related to Hayate Gekko.
News of Gekko's disappearance had surfaced, and Yugao's temporary missions for the past two days had been related to finding him.
After all, they were once lovers, and the Third Hokage believed that having Yugao look for him would be more efficient.
Indeed, that was the truth. Following some clues, like pulling a melon along a vine, the investigation eventually led to Danzo's Root base.
So, Danzo confessed to the Third Hokage that Hayate Gekko, feeling unfairly treated, had defected to him, only to be killed when the Root base was destroyed.
Yugao, learning of this, couldn't help but feel down, even though she no longer had feelings for Hayate Gekko.
"It's not that I can't let go, I just feel sorry for him," Yugao forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Naruto, I'll be fine soon."
Naruto wasn't a petty person. He knew Yugao was just being kind-hearted.
He poured himself a drink and said, "Yugao-neechan, I'll drink with you!"
