Chapter 39

"WHAT!? How could you be such a one! You're cheating on both girls! Apologize to them immediately and break up!" Kushina said angrily. After all, her son shouldn't be doing such nonsense. He cannot be such a vile person.

"Stop, calm down. They both know about each other. Also, how can I say… They both accept this situation." said Naruto.

Kushina was taken aback by what she heard. How so? Had the girls agreed to share her boyfriend with the others? If she were herself, he would never have allowed such a thing. She didn't want to share her boyfriend with anyone else.

"Sigh* Anyway, I can't interfere with you even if I wanted to, after all, I don't live there anymore. Well, tell me about your girlfriends." Kushina said after sighing.

"Someone's name is Anko. She's older than me, but we've known each other since we were little. We started to see each other as close friends and then as siblings. But as a result of the events that developed, we both fell in love with each other. She has a stubborn personality. And she's so ero-"

Naruto continued after a pause, "My other girlfriend's name is Hinata. She is from the Hyuuga clan and she is the same age as me. She was bullied by a group of kids when we first met her. Of course, I did not stay a bystander and blocked the bullies. After that, she and I were in the same class at the academy. Our relationship progressed after spending time together for a while. She's a bit shy and doesn't like violence. I would also like to say that she is very cute."

Kushina was enjoying looking at Naruto's smiling face while listening. It was wrong for her son to have two girlfriends at first, but then she realized that her son loved both of them very much.

"I feel like there are a few other things you haven't told me, but I'll skip them for now. Do you have other friends? A close friend or something?" Kushina asked.

"Someone close… I met my relative before I left Konoha. Her name is Karin Uzumaki. She didn't have any family left when I found her, so I offered her to stay with me. She lived with us before I left. She is kind, at least she was kind to me." Naruto said.

"You left Konoha? Why is that? Wait a minute! You live together and there is also someone else with you! Or are you thinking of making her your girlfriend too! No, that won't happen! She's someone from our clan! I do not allow this!" Kushina suddenly said in anger. She couldn't let her son fall in love with a relative. This was so weird...

"Calm down… First of all, I would like to state that I am not forcing anyone to be my girlfriend. You also know that many clans marry their relatives to keep their lineage pure. This way, the child is more likely to be born with kekkei genkai (bloodline limit). You also come from the Uzumaki clan, and you know that's what we did too." Naruto said calmly.

After thinking about it for a while, Kushina found it logical. She also believed that love knows no barriers. So even if Naruto is with someone 35 years older than his own... Wait a minute... It wouldn't happen, would it?

[AN: 35 years? That still seems like a small number.]

Kushina's time was finally up after Naruto and Kushina chatted for a while longer. Kushina hugged Naruto and slowly started to disappear while crying.

Naruto felt a little strange after his mother disappeared. He hadn't felt like this in a long time. After all, the situation with his mother or mothers in his previous life was a bit complicated.

He left the mental realm and returned to the real world after Naruto regained his emotional state.

*Flashback Jutsu*

Naruto continued to think about his powers after recalling the memories of the past time.

He could now enter Kurama's chakra mode. He looked so cool, just like in the anime. He was suddenly dressed in a cloak and chakras that looked like orangeish flames enveloped his body.

Kurama Mode was not yet fully completed. Because he had not yet received the other half of Kurama, sealed in his father. Both Kurama Mode and Shinju Form would become stronger after taking it as well.

[Ahem* But unfortunately, someone hadn't thought about it yet. I'm waiting for anyone with suggestions on how to get Yin from Minato in the comments]

Naruto then started to think about what to do in the future. After all, now he had to go to his new destinations there was no point in staying here anymore.

There was currently a joint chuunin exam between Konoha and Suna, according to what he learned from Mei.

There was a jinchuriki who was going to take this exam as far as Naruto remembers. The only thing he remembered was that Jinchuriki was captured by Akatsuki.

"I may have lost a tailed beast or two already, so I need to get this one this time. Looks like we will meet Akatsuki again. Which one will I face?" Naruto said with a grin.

Then he continued to think, "Anyway, I have to meet Mei right now and let her know that I'm leaving. I'll talk to him at dinner tonight. After all, the chuunin exam is about to begin."
