Naruto: Falling from the sky into Hashirama's arms

"Papa, I love you!"

While being held in someone's arms, Yuki wasn't exactly still; he kept fidgeting. Lin Sang was about to get angry, but then she heard this comment.

Lin Sang:......

What can he say about this?

Lin Sang still dotes on the child, after all, this child is his only bloodline connection in this world.

It was actually Hashirama who was stricter with the children, something Lin Sang herself hadn't expected at first.

Hashirama may seem unruly, but he is actually quite strict when it comes to educating children.

However, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

In this era, the eldest son is essentially the heir, the successor to the family's power.

However, according to Hashirama, he was much better than his father, Butsuma, since his father never played with him when he was a child.

When they were young, Fojian never smiled at his brothers; he always had a stern face.

Hashirama, on the other hand, treated Yuki with a balance of seriousness when necessary and ease when appropriate.

-------

However, Lin Sang had just stepped into the building when he ran into Hashirama Senju leaving get off work.

Hashirama Senju was wearing a brown traditional kimono with no patterns, which made him look quite plain.

However, it is obvious that the clothes are made of high-quality material, with a dark gray haori over them, and wooden clogs as usual on their feet.

Her long hair shone with a natural luster like the finest silk, and she wore no headband, revealing her smooth forehead.

Two wisps of hair fell across her forehead, her facial features were smooth, and her nose was high and straight. When she saw Lin Sang and the child in Lin Sang's arms, her eyes softened.

"Lin-san, Yuki!"

Lin Sang looked at Hashirama Senju in front of her and couldn't help but nod. Hashirama looked better like this.

For a while, Hashirama even grew his hair in a slicked-back style, which was a disaster for Lin-san!

He still preferred the Hashirama in front of him who didn't comb his hair back!

Just now, Hashirama Senju seemed very composed, but after seeing Lin Sang and Yuki, he suddenly became more lively, and the expression on his face became relaxed.

Even her brows softened slightly, and her dark eyes seemed filled with tiny glimmers of light, exuding an unyielding gentleness, yet showing no trace of femininity.

She seems to have become more mature and family-oriented than before.

"mom!"

Yuki was clearly excited, leaning forward and reaching out his hands as if to be hugged by Hashirama.

Yuki wasn't wearing a traditional kimono, but rather a more modern style of clothing.

She wore a light yellow long-sleeved shirt underneath and brown overalls on top, and her skin was the fair and delicate white that is unique to children.

Not to mention the sweet dimples on either side of her mouth.

Hashirama: !

His son is so cute!

So he happily accepted it.

"Hey, Yuki!"

After the child was transferred to the pillar, Lin Sang shook her slightly sore arms.

"He doesn't like staying at home anymore."

When Hashirama Senju heard Lin Sang say this, he subconsciously nodded: "He's almost ready to receive basic training, he's already a year old."

His old father was already impatient.

Lin Sang frowned subconsciously when she heard Hashirama say that, but quickly realized that things were different here.

This place is, after all, the Warring States period.

The situation is different from modern times, and he cannot treat this child with modern standards.

Whether it's for his own good or not, this could potentially harm him.

Hashirama Senju naturally noticed Lin Sang's expression, so he reached out and naturally put his arm around Lin Sang's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Yuki has excellent potential."

Lin Sang: "..."

Well, that's some consolation, actually.

Looking at Yuki's bright, sparkling eyes, Lin Sang sighed.

fair enough.

The two of them were actually a bit out of sync.

Hashirama Senju was genuinely relieved, but he couldn't quite understand Lin Sang's emotions just now.

While I felt sorry for Yuki, there were other feelings mixed in as well.

In fact, Hashirama was right. As someone who was not born naturally, Yuki was actually much 'luckier' than children born naturally.

Pregnancy stones are designed to help endangered species reproduce, so nature automatically selects for the best and strongest genes.

Therefore, it was destined that Yuki would have exceptional talent from the moment he was born.

Especially in this Warring States period, where powerful figures abound, not to mention that this child was born into a ninja clan.

For ninja clans, especially for a great ninja clan like the Senju that has existed for thousands of years, aptitude is the most important criterion.

This is the most basic standard for judging whether a child can grow up faster and whether they can achieve it.

Survive.

Not to mention that he was Hashirama Senju's first child, and he would definitely be someone the family placed great hopes on.

His conditions and requirements will only become more stringent.

Lin Sang had actually made preparations from the very beginning.

Hashirama Senju, who grew up in this environment, clearly understood it better than Lin Sang.

That's why he said she had excellent aptitude, hoping to put Lin Sang at ease.

However, this is also a good thing.

Lin Sang's thoughts were mostly on Xing Shu, which was what he had been hoping for—a bond with Lin Sang...

and so--

Should we start setting up the next bond in advance?

------

Lin Sang here had no idea about the dark mud that Hashirama Senju had just secretly concocted.

He was a step behind Hashirama Senju, teasing Yuki who was perched on Hashirama's shoulder.

"Papa!"

Yuki was also amused by Rin's funny expressions and laughed heartily, playing along perfectly.

The delicate laughter echoed back to Lin Sang, making her heart soften even more.

His child, his Yuki.

...

As Hashirama silently observed all of this, a genuine smile spread across his lips.

She gently patted Yuki's back in her arms to make him more stable, and so that Lin could tease him more happily.

He enjoys his current life and absolutely will not allow any outsiders to disrupt it!

Thinking of the waves gradually rising outside, Hashirama Senju's dark eyes suddenly fell silent, a storm brewing deep within them.

.....

(Aside)

As I write, I feel like Hashirama is starting to exude black sludge again...
