The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Next, Minato Namikaze gently embraced Kushina Uzumaki.

The two exchanged loving glances.

Jiang Nan coughed lightly.

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki also noticed Jiang Nan standing at the door.

Then he punched Minato Namikaze on the head.

It wasn't a heavy punch, just a casual one, like a playful fight between lovers.

"What are you doing? We have guests."

Minato Namikaze smiled sheepishly, then looked at Jiang Nan.

"Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Jiang Nan!"

Jiang Nan looked at the cheerful and enthusiastic Minato Namikaze.

"Damn it, you finally remembered me and said you wanted to treat me to dinner, but the first thing you did was stuff a huge mouthful of dog food into my mouth."

Kushina Uzumaki smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, that's just Minato's personality; he's a bit of a ditz."

Jiang Nan nodded.

Kushina Uzumaki was quite enthusiastic towards Minato Namikaze's friends.

"It's been a long time since any friends have come to visit. Please have a seat..."

Kushina Uzumaki is not very good at cooking.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, was busy in the kitchen.

Seemingly out of boredom, Kushina Uzumaki stroked her belly, where the baby looked very healthy.

"I'm sorry, I should be the one cooking, but I haven't been feeling well lately, so I'll have to ask Minato to take care of me."

Jiang Nan said, "I understand. Although I'm single, I've lived two lives, both in the information-rich modern society."

When a pregnant woman gives birth, she transfers most of her body's nutrients to the fetus.

This can cause some minor health problems in pregnant women, and even some mental problems.

For example, prenatal depression.

"I can tell that this child will grow up to be a healthy and happy child. Minato will definitely protect you this time."

Jiang Nan spoke softly, as if offering a blessing.

Kushina Uzumaki chuckled; she was already very happy.

"Yes! I will protect my child, I definitely will."

Jiang Nan gave a faint smile.

"You will be good parents."

Kushina Uzumaki looked at her large belly with eyes full of doting affection.

When Jiang Nan was watching Naruto...

It must be said that the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife were full of tragedy.

Seeing that Jiang Nan didn't seem to be very old, Kushina Uzumaki asked.

"You don't seem to be a ninja, nor do you seem to be a commoner from Konoha."

Jiang Nan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I am indeed not a ninja. It was a coincidence that I became friends with the Fourth Hokage. But being an ordinary person is quite nice. At least I am quite happy now."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded seriously.

"It would be good to be an ordinary person! The world of ninjas is too chaotic, and the various conflicts seem to have no end."

Jiang Nan seemed like an observer, her voice remaining calm and composed.

"Where there are people, there is a world of conflict; where there is a world of conflict, there is naturally struggle. Either one possesses invincible power to suppress everything, like the First Hokage, who used terrifying power to maintain peace, but such peace disappeared with the death of the First Hokage; or there is revolution and reform, where someone emerges to lead the era and end it."

Just like Hashirama, the God of Shinobi, ended the Warring States period.

However, the Naruto world still has a long way to go before it can achieve true peace.

It's worth noting that Naruto is also jokingly referred to by Naruto fans as "Black Zetsu's Story of Saving His Mother".

Although Naruto is a shonen anime, the mastermind behind the entire ninja world is actually Black Zetsu.

A child with a mother is a treasure.

A motherless child is like a grass.

Black Zetsu went to extreme lengths to get back to his mother's embrace.

As long as this guy doesn't die, the ninja world will never be at peace.

Kushina Uzumaki: "Who knows! You're so young, yet you know so much. Your parents must know a lot too."

Jiang Nan recalled her past life, which was a very ordinary one.

After transmigrating to a world of everyday anime and manga, she was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage while she was still conscious, becoming an orphan.

“I am an orphan now. I grew up in an orphanage and have never met my parents.”

Jiang Nan spoke in a very flat tone, showing no affection whatsoever for her parents whom she had never met.

Kushina Uzumaki looked somewhat reluctant.

"Feel sorry!"

Jiang Nan waved his hand.

"It's okay, I don't care anyway."

Chapter 56, The Quiet Storm

A sumptuous meal was quickly prepared.

It was already noon.

Simple food, yet so comforting.

Jiang Nan was fed another dose of PDA while eating.

He vowed that after finishing this meal, he would never stay here again.

Otherwise, putting everything else aside, they'd be full just from eating dog food.

"Have a piece of meat!"

Minato Namikaze placed a piece of meat into Kushina Uzumaki's bowl.

"You eat too!"

Kushina Uzumaki also added a piece to Minato Namikaze's bowl.

"You eat more, our children need to eat too!"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded sweetly.

"Ok!"

A warm and cozy atmosphere—this is home.

Jiang Nan simply couldn't stand the meal any longer.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Nan immediately ran away.

I can't stay here for even a minute longer. I might as well go to Root and play with Orochimaru.

Jiang Nan made up his mind; he would live at the root.

Although the base is somewhat dark, it is very large, and you can find a room to live in.

Furthermore, Orochimaru knew Jiang Nan's true power, so he respected Jiang Nan greatly.

This is a sign of respect for great power.

This is a sign of respect for those who can freely achieve their goal of immortality.

Orochimaru had to exert all his strength, even creating the forbidden technique Reanimation Jutsu and consuming his own soul power, to finally touch the threshold of immortality. However, Orochimaru was all too aware of the shortcomings of Reanimation Jutsu.

Compared to being deprived of death, it is being unable to die in any environment.

The immortality granted by the Reincarnation Technique is a joke.

By comparison, Orochimaru once considered abandoning the Reanimation Jutsu he had created.

The base of the roots.

At this moment, the Root ninjas were cleaning up the battlefield from the previous night.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was collecting experimental data.

He now controls Root, but the Fourth Hokage forbids him from doing anything shameless.

Although he's no longer interested in those things.

Those are all things of the past.

It should have been phased out by the times long ago.

Even if it still has some use, it can only serve as a reference for technological progress.

Jiang Nan just appeared at the root.

The surrounding ninjas immediately became alert, drawing their weapons—swords and kunai.

Hello everyone!

Jiang Nan was completely oblivious to his current surroundings.

"Put down your weapons. Mr. Jiang Nan is my guest. From now on, everyone should regard Jiang Nan as if they were me."

When Orochimaru saw Jiang Nan suddenly appear at Root, he spoke to all the Root ninjas in a very cold tone.
