"You're back!" When Kiko saw Yuta enter the room, she stepped forward to help him remove his vest.
"Indeed! How are things at home?" Yuta watched Kiko assist him, then took the katana from his waist, turned his head, and looked at her tenderly.
"Everything is well, except Nawaki has been taking Ganta and the others out quite a bit recently. I wonder what he's busy with all day?" Although Kiko's tone held a hint of complaint, the smile playing on her lips betrayed her true feelings.
Seeing her husband return safely, having even captured the legendary Hanzō of the ninja world, Kiko felt immense pride whenever she overheard the villagers praising Yuta.
But looking at Yuta's weary face now, Kiko understood the immense effort he exerted behind all the accolades.
"Rest for now. I'll heat some water for you to shower first." After tidying Yuta's vest, Kiko offered these instructions and then left the room.
Yuta collapsed onto the sofa, his thoughts drifting back to his experiences in the Land of Whirlpools.
Now that he was home, surrounded by the warmth of his family, he made a silent vow to protect them. Regardless of the threat—be it the Sandaime Hokage, Danzō, or the lurking Black Zetsu and Madara—if anyone dared to endanger his family, he would eliminate them preemptively.
However, his current strength was still far from matching Madara in his prime. His eyes, while potent, primarily served as amplifiers for his ninjutsu.
It seemed he still needed to focus on his bloodline limit. Although he hadn't been an exceptional student in his previous life, he knew that electromagnetism was one of the four fundamental forces in the universe.
He had already, through a moment of profound insight, fully mastered the manipulation of Lightning Release to enhance his offensive capabilities. Could he integrate this Lightning Release with his bloodline limit and develop a new advanced nature transformation—Electromagnetic Release?
However, the validity of this conjecture could only be determined when the next moment of enlightenment arrived.
"Eh? Dad! Why are you back so soon?" As Yuta pondered how to enhance his power, Ganta and his two younger brothers burst in from outside. Ganta, surprised to see Yuta on the sofa, blurted out the question without thinking.
Jiro and Yuto, following close behind, greeted Yuta obediently but then silently observed their elder brother.
"What? You're not happy to see me back?" Hearing his eldest son's question, a gentle smile appeared on Yuta's face, but that smile held a terrifying edge in Ganta's eyes.
"Hehe! Well? Aren't I just delighted to see my dad return? That was just a surprise, yes, a complete surprise! So I spoke without considering my words." Yuta wasn't sure how much Ganta's strength had improved recently, but his nonsense was definitely increasing.
Yuta had no intention of punishing him; he simply wanted to tease him after their brief separation.
At that moment, Kiko entered the room and saw the helpless Ganta and the amused Yuta. She rolled her eyes at the father and son and said, "You're so old, still teasing the children. Go take a shower quickly, or the water will get cold."
"And you three," Kiko continued, turning to her sons, "if you dare to run off again and disappear all day, you'll have me to answer to." After seeing Yuta leave to shower, Kiko turned back and scolded Ganta and his brothers.
"Yes, we understand!" Seeing Ganta about to protest, Jiro quickly grabbed his arm and agreed obediently.
Kiko didn't pay much attention to their small interactions. Hearing Jiro's agreement, she waved them off and ushered them out of the room.
"Why can't we tell Mom? We're being self-sufficient and not causing any trouble!" Ganta asked Jiro in confusion once they were outside.
Jiro looked at him with disdain.
"What's the point of telling Mom? Dad's back, right? Just tell him directly later."
"That makes sense! Girls don't understand these things. We should tell Dad about this and see how he handles it," Yuto nodded in agreement.
Leaving aside Ganta and the others' plans, in the Hokage's office, after some "amicable discussions," Hanzō "happily" reached a series of agreements with the Konohagakure high council.
Given the dire situation in Amegakure and the urgency of his return, Konohagakure did not attempt to detain him and released Hanzō that very day.
Because Hanzō was seriously injured, Anbu operatives arrived at Yuta's residence at noon, summoning Kiko and requesting that she and Tsunade provide Hanzō with emergency medical treatment.
The goal was to restore some of his combat capabilities, preventing him from being killed en route and thus avoiding an awkward situation for Konohagakure.
When Kiko went to the hospital to treat Hanzō, Yuta looked at his three mysterious sons and gave himself a silent, exasperated facepalm.
"If you have something to say, say it. If you need to release gas, do it now. Don't think you can avoid this afternoon's training."
Finally, as the eldest, Ganta stepped forward and whispered to Yuta, "Dad, Nawaki found something very strange near the village a few days ago. He found a lot of earthworms by the river near the village. Not only were there a lot of them, but they were also very big. So he asked us to go catch earthworms with him and sell them to the villagers who raise chickens and pigs. But since yesterday, there have been more and more earthworms, and many of them are bigger than snakes. So…"
"So you want me to go and take a look, and wait for me to deal with those earthworms, and then you can go there to catch earthworms and sell them for money. How can you be so clever? You're just dreaming!" Yuta finished his sentence, utterly speechless.
After all the fuss about the relationship, they wanted him to be their free laborer, and they were just about to refuse.
Suddenly, he thought about it, and Yuta also felt that this was a bit strange. Why were there so many earthworms there out of nowhere? There must be something suspicious going on.
So Yuta changed the subject and said to the three brothers, "It's fine if you want me to go, but I have to have a share of the money from selling earthworms in the future."
"Why!" As soon as Yuta finished speaking, Ganta jumped up to object, "Why should you get a share of the money we earn from catching earthworms and selling them?"
Yuta said with a smile: "If I don't deal with the earthworms that you can't handle, then you won't be able to catch earthworms and sell them for money in the future. So you have already made a lot of money."
Finally, after some bargaining among the four father and sons, Ganta and the other two divided the money from selling the earthworms into four parts, giving one part to Yuta, and the rest was divided equally among the other three.
While Kiko was still here, Yuta told the nanny that he had gone out with Ganta and the other two and told them not to worry. Then he followed him and the others to join Nawaki, who had been waiting for them nearby, and went to the place where the earthworms were found.
When they arrived at the place, they found that the riverbank had been blocked by a group of ninja.
It turned out that during the time when Ganta and the others were returning home, someone discovered the strangeness here and reported it to the village.
The village immediately sent people to deal with the matter and blocked off the entire area to prevent the earthworms from hurting people.
Yuta simply sensed the situation nearby and immediately found that there were many such earthworms nearby.

I do not know where this many iOS users came from. But I have already warned about using iOS to process the payments for Patreon. Creators will not be able to access those funds for 75 days. 75 days, can you imagine?
Some of us cannot afford to wait for months to be able to access those funds. I hope that you guys take that into consideration.
Apple is out here ruining everything it touches; Spotify is also one of it's victims.
Do you guys have any advice on how to handle this iOS payment delay thing?
