"Sakura, Sakura, I've refined chakra..."

Naruto excitedly ran up to Sakura and shouted. He never forgot what Sakura said at the Uchiha house. When he became strong enough, he could tell her who his parents really were.

"No wonder he's from the Uzumaki clan, and with Ashura, the amount of chakra..."

Sakura looked helplessly at Naruto, who was jumping and cheering. She could feel the huge amount of chakra in Naruto's body. Although it was his first time refining chakra, the amount of chakra was almost catching up to Kakashi's. Although Kakashi's chakra wasn't too much, Naruto's chakra was still quite astonishing.

But when she thought about it carefully, it wasn't surprising. Naruto himself had the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, which had a lot of chakra to begin with. In addition, Naruto was also a reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, and the Nine-Tailed Fox intentionally released its chakra from the seal to influence Naruto's chakra. These factors combined to create Naruto's huge amount of chakra.

"Although the amount of chakra is large, the interference from the Nine-Tailed Fox makes it impossible for Naruto to control his chakra well!"

Sakura sighed slightly. If this much chakra were on Kakashi, he would be ecstatic. But on Naruto, the arrogant fox would constantly interfere with Naruto's chakra. There was still a long way to go before Naruto could control his chakra freely.

As the sky was getting late, everyone said goodbye and left. Little Lee, Guy, and Kakashi returned to their own homes. Tenten went back to the Tenshi family's residence in the village. As the first weapons merchant in the Land of Fire, the Tenshi family was not short of money, and Tenten's life was naturally not bad.

Neji guarded Hinata and went home, as if someone might come out and harm Hinata. Kiba, Shino, Ino, and others all went back to their respective clans.

"Sasuke, don't forget about the important matter!"

Sakura gave Sasuke a signal as he was about to leave, reminding him not to forget what they had discussed during the day.

"Okay!" Sasuke replied, feeling a little sour in his heart. From now on, he would have more sisters-in-law, and his older brother would no longer belong only to him. But thinking that he could prevent more people from competing with him for his older brother, Sasuke felt relieved. Sharing his older brother's love with one person was better than having a bunch of people competing for it.

"Sasuke, is there anything important you need to do?" Itachi asked curiously.

"Not really!" Sasuke felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, older brother, why don't you invite Izumi to come home with us? I misunderstood her a few days ago, so today I'll apologize to her!"

"Sasuke, you don't have to say anything like apologizing. I understand that you're just worried that someone will take my attention away. That's normal behavior!" Uchiha Izumi smiled indifferently. She didn't hold a grudge against Sasuke for getting angry at her earlier. She could also understand Sasuke's extreme attachment to his older brother.

"No, if Izumi doesn't come home with us, I'll feel uneasy!" Sasuke used his killer move, grabbing Itachi's hand and shaking it. "Older brother, can you invite Izumi to our house as well?"

As a late-stage brother complex patient, Itachi naturally wouldn't refuse Sasuke's request. Although he didn't know what Sasuke was up to, Itachi took the initiative to invite Izumi.

This time, Uchiha Izumi didn't refuse. Itachi's invitation was something she had been looking forward to for a long time, and now it was finally happening.

Shisui, who had a good eye, didn't bother the others and went home alone.

Only Sakura and Naruto were left. Seeing that Naruto was still in an excited state, Sakura grabbed his hand and ran towards the vegetable market on Konoha Street. Her parents had been busy these past few days and didn't have time to come home for dinner. Sakura felt too lonely eating by herself, and Naruto was also alone. So Sakura decided to buy some vegetables and cook at Naruto's house.

At the Uchiha residence, Fugaku and Mikoto, Itachi's parents, almost thought they were seeing things. Their eldest son, who rarely smiled at outsiders, actually brought a girl home. And the two of them looked quite familiar. Could it be that their son was finally coming of age?!

As parents, they were very open-minded. It was a good thing to bring a girl home. They had long been worried about Itachi's lifelong affairs. Who could blame them? Their son was too mature, and they always secretly worried that Uchiha Itachi would end up single. Now they could temporarily put their minds at ease. As for Itachi's age, it wasn't like he had to get married and have children right away. Love needed time. In a few years, when Itachi came of age, he could openly bring a girl home.

Uchiha Itachi didn't know that his parents had already thought so far ahead. They had even started discussing what to name the next generation.

"Dad, Mom, this is Izumi, older brother's childhood friend!" Sasuke established the relationship between Uchiha Izumi and Itachi in advance, as Sakura had instructed. "They have a good relationship!"

"I know, come in and sit down!" Uchiha Mikoto observed Uchiha Izumi with great satisfaction. She looked good, appeared gentle, and, most importantly, had known Itachi since childhood, making it easier to cultivate feelings.

"I'll call you Izumi!" Uchiha Mikoto took Uchiha Izumi's hand and started chatting. "Itachi isn't good at taking care of himself, and he's not good at making girls happy. You'll have to help him more in the future!"

Uchiha Itachi looked confused. Why did he feel like his mother was disapproving of him?!

Uchiha Izumi was also confused. What was going on? They were just ordinary guests, so why did it suddenly feel like they were meeting the parents?!

"Not bad, you have my style!" Uchiha Fugaku patted Uchiha Itachi's shoulder and laughed heartily.

Uchiha Itachi: ???

"Your mother and I were arranged to be childhood sweethearts. Later, we grew up together and were also childhood friends!" Uchiha Fugaku was very satisfied. His son had finally come of age and knew to find a girlfriend. "You are indeed my son. You even know to learn from me when finding a girlfriend."

Until they finished dinner and were sent out to escort Uchiha Izumi home, Uchiha Itachi still hadn't realized what had happened earlier. The two equally confused people walked side by side on a small path, surprisingly harmonious under the moonlight.
