Chapter 288 Uzumaki Naruto

A little bit of minced garlic, a dozen chicken essences, a big spoonful of sesame seeds, a small piece of fermented bean curd, and a little green chives, the simple dipping sauce is ready. Ye Shan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, dip it, put it in his mouth and sighed with satisfaction.

"This is the most delicious food in the world. A few good friends and this piece of mutton are like living gods!"

Uchiha Keiji smiled, picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's drink it up!"

"Dry!"

After drinking a glass of wine, he felt warm all over. Ye Shan reached out and picked up a piece of pickled garlic and swallowed it whole, and comfortable sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The mutton here is the best from the Land of the Earth. It's tender and smooth without any smell. It always feels fresh no matter how many times you eat it."

The three of them agreed with this statement. The country of Earth has many mountains and little water, and is rich in a unique kind of goat and beach sheep, which have always been the first choice of the nobles. Goats are suitable for barbecue and stewing, while beach sheep are suitable for stewing and shabu-shabu, each with its own characteristics.

After eating a lot, Ye Shan felt about 50% full, slowed down his eating speed, and began to raise his glass to persuade others to drink. He was an impatient person, and he wanted to eat until he was 100% full, but after becoming Hokage, he learned to take it slow, and now he has become patient.

"Minato, come on, let's have another drink to congratulate you on entering this new stage of your life."

Namikaze Minato accepted all the drinks. Even though he was not a good drinker, he was so happy today that he raised his glass and said, "Ye Shan, you are already an adult. You should pay more attention to your personal affairs and strive to become a father like us soon."

Ye Shan pretended to be displeased and said, "You are controlling me. I will report you to Kushina one day."

"Sizzle"

Minato drank a glass of wine, shrugged and said, "I have nothing to fear if I'm innocent. Go ahead and sue me. If you can find evidence against me, I lose."

Uchiha Fugaku ate a mouthful of frozen tofu and said, "Yeshan, you are indeed powerful, but all of us brothers are handsome and talented. Besides, you are a bachelor, and you have the nerve to gossip behind people's backs. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out?"

Ye Shan smiled helplessly and said, "It's not that I don't want to get married, but my buddy's ideal person will come to marry me one day on a colorful cloud. What do you ordinary people know?"

The three of them naturally didn't understand the meaning of the words, but they didn't stop being sarcastic. Uchiha Keiji acted like an experienced person and said, "Marriage is completely different from dating. Dating is about how you can make it look good, but marriage is about living together. You have to find someone who treats you well and likes you. Otherwise, what's the point of looking at a vase all day long?"

"Bullshit!" Ye Shan sneered, "Only children make choices, adults want them all! Even though I've only been in love once, I'm a famous relationship analysis expert. I often give advice to others, and my success rate is as high as 70%!"

Before traveling through time, Ye Shan had the good fortune to help three of his roommates find their true love. This had become a legend in a small circle, and he was awarded the title of love master, but he had no chance to verify it personally.

Uchiha Fugaku curled his lips and said, "I'll ask Mikoto to look for a suitable candidate later. How can a village leader be without a wife? That's too outrageous."

"Speaking of the Kage of a village, in a few days the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water will be able to regain the title of Mizukage. What do you think?"

Namikaze Minato said with a smile: "It is impossible to take back the lost honor. If the Water Country does not show sincerity, I will not accept it as one of the five major countries as agreed."

"That's right. A great ninja village actually chose a woman as its leader. That Terumi Shikou looks like a yellow-haired girl. I don't know how she became the leader. There must be something fishy going on."

Ye Shan picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Terumi Shikou is decisive and experienced, and her methods are extremely cruel. She doesn't look like a person in her twenties at all. I think she has some of Shimura Danzo's style."

When it comes to Shimura Danzo, the two Uchiha ninjas present all gnashed their teeth. This former Root Chief exploited them a lot during his tenure. Among the disciples of the Second Hokage, he was the most vindictive and did not follow the rules, which made the Uchiha clan very unhappy.

Uchiha Keiji slammed the table and said in hatred, "The old fellow Shimura Danzo died too easily. If he fell into my hands, peeling his skin and pulling out his tendons would be the least of my worries. I would have to torture him to death!"

"I strongly disagree with the Hidden Mist Village taking back the title of Shadow. The greatest contribution to the ninja world is for these water monkeys to die off early!"

"In the past few years, there have been repeated incidents of unidentified ninjas attacking garrisons at the border. I have sufficient evidence to prove that this was done by the Hidden Mist Village. We cannot let them get away with it."

Ye Shan nodded, understanding it in his heart, and said: "Since ancient times, the world has always been divided and united, and united and divided. Since the wars among the clans in the Warring States Period, the ninja world has not been unified for nearly a thousand years. I think it's time to make a change!"

This was not the first time that Ye Shan had mentioned these words in front of the others, nor would it be the last. If one wanted to truly end the thousand-year-old conflict in the ninja world, a strong and unified center was essential. It was like a family living together, there had to be someone who made the decisions, otherwise the families would inevitably say one thing and do another, and even make a fool of themselves.

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and said hesitantly, "It's not easy to deal with the Water Country. We have a letter of credence between us, and the time is clearly written in black and white. If Konoha unilaterally tears up the treaty, it will definitely cause public outrage."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Shan said nonchalantly: "We will talk about this matter later. There are so many talented people in the village, and someone will come up with a reasonable excuse. Everyone is happy today. Minato, have you chosen a name for your child? Do you need some brainstorming from the brothers?"

Namikaze Minato scolded with a smile, a gentle look appeared on his face and he said: "It's already been named. The boy will be called Uzumaki Naruto and the girl will be called Namikaze Miku."

"Isn't it inappropriate for a boy to be called Uzumaki Naruto?" Uchiha Keiji was the first to raise an objection. He was full of family rules and regulations, and regarded the inheritance of bloodline and surname as more important than anything else. This was also the characteristic of most ninjas in the ninja world, and he was not the only one. Especially in some families, women did not even have surnames, which was a big bad habit.

"Kushina is the only one left in the Uzumaki clan. It's really sad to see the once prosperous family fall to this state. I have made up my mind that the boy must inherit Kushina's surname. It will also be a psychological comfort to her!" Namikaze Minato explained with a smile.

Ye Shan frowned, and kept repeating the words Uzumaki Naruto, with great doubts rising in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"The origin of the name is very simple. The protagonist in Jiraiya's book is called this name. Since he has the quality of being able to withstand any danger, I think I should name the child Naruto."

Uchiha Fugaku's face froze when he heard this, and he asked cautiously: "Is this book you are talking about a serious book?"

It's no wonder he asked this question. Everyone in the ninja world knows that Jiraiya's best-selling books are all related to pornography, and they have become the enlightenment reading material for a generation of young people.

Ye Shan asked curiously, "Why does Fugaku ask this? Is there anything wrong with these books?"

Uchiha Fugaku's face turned red. He had read Jiraiya's masterpieces many times in the lonely New Rain Country. He stammered, "It's okay. The book is very good, but it's a book for adults."

"Pfft!"

Ye Shan couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. He looked at Minato Namikaze and said seriously, "If it doesn't work, let's change the name. Although you are famous for naming, you can't push your child into the fire pit!"

Namikaze Minato's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "You guys have very dirty minds. The book I'm talking about is the Book of the Strong Ninja, which describes an inspirational book about a young man who sticks to his heart and makes a name for himself. It's not those messed-up things."

"Oh~" Several people understood what he meant, but they all had a look on their faces saying, "I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me."

Namikaze Minato was anxious. He took out a book from his ninja tool bag and stuffed it into Ye Shan's hand, saying, "If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. It's definitely a serious motivational book!"

Ye Shan smiled and flipped through it. As expected, there was no problem, so he put the book down and said, "Master Jiraiya is famous. I was distracted for a moment. Sorry, sorry."

"Humph!" Namikaze Minato raised his wine glass and said, "You all have to drink a glass of wine!"

The three of them drank it without caring, and Minato said, "The newly established animation company in Konoha plans to make this book into an animation, and Naruto's name will definitely be widely known by then!"

Ye Shan felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and a tingling sensation ran from the soles of his feet to his forehead. He stood up, which was unusual for him, and shouted, "What did you say?"

"The name is widely known?" Although he was curious about Ye Shan's reaction, Minato Namikaze repeated his words.

"Not this one, the one before it!"

"Naruto?"

"no!"

"Anime version?"

Ye Shan was completely stunned. He finally understood where the familiar feeling came from. Wasn't this the famous anime protagonist Naruto from his previous life? Although he was a big supporter of Bleach and Pirates and looked down on Naruto, who was of the same status, he still knew some basic knowledge. After all, those middle school students had been spitting nonsense on Tieba!

"Uzumaki Naruto... Uzumaki Naruto... I see... I see!"

Ye Shan seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped in the chair. The master of this world was about to be born, so what was the point of him being a time traveler?

For a moment, Ye Shan's heart was filled with confusion and hesitation about the future, making him a little crazy.

Uchiha Keiji pushed him and said worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll call a doctor right away."

"Wait!"

Ye Shan came back to his senses, called Uchiha Keiji, and said with a forced smile: "I'm fine, I don't need a doctor."

As he spoke, he took Minato Namikaze's hand and said, "This child must be a boy, and the name must not be changed. It must be called Uzumaki Naruto!"

Namikaze Minato was confused, but seeing that Hayama didn't look like he was joking, he assured him, "Don't worry, if it's a boy, he will be named Uzumaki Naruto!"

Ye Shanqiang smiled and said, "Trust me, it must be a boy!"

What if they are not boys? The world will be in chaos, and they will all become supporting characters in the book!

Ye Shan was so confused that he had no appetite to continue eating and drinking, but he didn't want to spoil his friend's mood, so he forced himself to chat and laugh. His mind had already flown away to who knows where else.
