"Ah, this feels so good."

Naruto soaked in the hot spring, feeling his skin gradually relax. He closed his eyes and let out a moan amidst the rising steam.

Outside, the heavy rain continued to pour. Due to his reckless actions yesterday, the Anbu had resumed their surveillance of the Jinchuriki, so Naruto had simply decided to hide away in the hot spring.

‘Was it really necessary just because he knocked over a mask stall?’

‘Besides, didn’t I pay for it?’

‘Wasn't the money he threw into the air still money? And the shop owner did take those money in the end?’

On the rooftop opposite the hot spring.

An Anbu’s member was very unhappy. Even though he was hiding carefully, the heavy rain outside had nearly soaked his underwear.

His heart was as cold as his damp underwear. It was normal for an Anbu’s member to suffer a little. It was nothing new.

But seeing his surveillance target leisurely blowing bubbles in the hot spring, sipping clear water, and even dining in the spring made him feel despondent.

Just as the Anbu’s member was feeling the gloom of life, thinking that he was living worse than a kid and questioning his resolve as a Shinobi amidst the rain, there was a sudden bang, and another Anbu’s member appeared through the rain.

"Shift change, Yama."

The Anbu’s member codenamed ‘Yama’ turned around and his lifeless eyes startled his colleague.

"Yama! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Yama shook his head, exhaling a breath in the rain and muttering softly, "Maybe I should visit the hot spring too, but Commander never gives us any leave."

"Soaking in a hot spring must be so comfortable and warm. Damn it, why did I become an Anbu knowing this job is endless overtime?!"

"But if I don't become a Shinobi, I'd have to go into other lines of work. Being a host in a nightclub doesn't seem so bad. Maybe I should try resigning to the Commander after this shift."

The new Anbu’s member swallowed hard as he watched his partner's disheartened back.

"Yama… His soul has been polluted by the Kyubi’s Jinchuriki!"

Midlife crises aren't avoidable, even for Anbu. After all, Konoha doesn't keep idle people. If a Shinobi passed the golden age of thirty, they had to consider transitioning to other roles.

Generally speaking, Shinobi from large clans would start taking over clan affairs around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, transforming from combatants to civil servants who uphold the Will of Fire in a steady and loyal manner.

There are many such examples, such as Neji's deceased father, Hyuga Hizashi, and the older generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

As the saying goes, ‘Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, the son of a strategist is a strategist, the disciple of a Hokage is a Hokage’. Is the essence of the Will of Fire hard work over talent?

Of course not.

‘The Will of Fire is truly divine.’ Naruto sighed in the hot spring, ‘No wonder Sandaime is said to be the greatest Hokage of Konoha. It really is true.’

‘Theism, Pantheism, and Child of Prophecy are all little brothers in front of the Will of Fire.’

Splash.

Naruto stood up from the hot spring pool, walked slowly towards the shore, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

‘The Will of Fire, heh.’

In the midst of summer, heavy rain poured down relentlessly.

The murky gray sky resembled a giant inverted bowl, tightly covering the sky over Konoha.

It was already afternoon, but Naruto still hadn't worn his forehead protector. He walked towards his apartment in his loose black robe, stepping through puddles with a splashing sound.

‘Children without umbrellas can only run hard.’ Naruto agreed deeply with this statement.

Just now, he had watched a child without an umbrella dash past him, his pants rolled up high, splashing water half a meter with each step.

"Shira! Didn't bring an umbrella again today?" An old man at the street corner called out to the sprinting boy from the shop doorway.

"Grandpa Kuu, don't worry about me!" The boy's voice was full of determination, "I want to be the Hokage in the future!"

Hearing this, Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly.

Just as Naruto was pondering whether the boy wanted to be Tsunade's man or Sandaime’s man, there was a loud bang.

The boy stepped into a puddle, slipped heavily, and fell into it. At this time, his face and body were covered in yellow mud spots.

[Give the umbrella in your hand to the young Shira, so that he can feel the warmth of the world. Reward: Max Level Four Symbols Seal.]

[Walks away indifferently, and before leaving, mocked the young Shira, letting him feel the malice of the world. Reward: Shukaku’s favor]

Hearing this, Naruto was stunned.

‘What kind of dark, perverted and heaven-defying choices are these?’

‘For a young boy, how much psychological damage would a slip after falling into a puddle cause? Oh no, oh no, oh no!’

Sighing, Naruto showed a compassionate expression as he walked in front of the boy with a large black umbrella.

The boy in the puddle gasped for breath, struggling to get up. There’s bright red blood oozing from his trouser legs.

Despite this, he still wore a sunny smile on his face.

Just as he was about to make a self-deprecating remark to ease the embarrassment, he suddenly noticed a large black umbrella covering him, and a yellow-haired man in a black loose robe was looking at him.

The young Shira looked somewhat surprised, seemingly puzzled about why this blond boy was standing next to him.

‘Could this be the encounter of friendship between boys in the youth storybook?’

Just when the young Shira was about to express his goodwill, a large black umbrella was suddenly handed to him, and the blond boy spoke calmly.

"For you."

Shira instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he could use this umbrella as an opportunity to start a new friendship, so why not?

"Thank you."

Shira gripped the handle of the umbrella and was about to say some opening remarks to introduce himself, but in his mind, he was already imagining the scene of chasing dreams together with his new friend.

"My name is Shira, what’s your…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the umbrella handle in his hand was suddenly snatched back by Naruto, who walked away without looking back.

"Huh???"

Snap. The dream of chasing dreams together under the sunset was shattered.

The young Shira’s face instantly flushed red, and he blurted out something as he looked at Naruto's quickly departing back.

"Psycho!!!"

[Ding! The Four Symbols Seal is acquired successfully and automatically nurtured to the maximum level.]

Naruto had already walked far away. The umbrella handle had left his hand for less than three seconds, and it still retained his body temperature.

‘Having an umbrella on a rainy day really felt nice.’

The reason for choosing the Four Symbols Seal is simple, which is to control Kyubi in a physical sense.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have a time bomb in his stomach, so he wanted to see if they can talk about it. If they can't, then he’ll have to flip the table.

Just use the Four Symbols Seal to shrink the Kyubi’s cage, and then give him a lesson in confinement and restraint.
