Now reading: Chapter 287 287: From Dead to Dad Mode from Naruto: System of Akio, a Action novel by Dexy3.

Land of Whirlpools, on the main street.

Akio was making rounds.

Just walking in circles.

He couldn't help it. As a "man who was supposed to be dead," even though he'd already instructed Uzumaki Goshe to announce that he was still alive, it wasn't hard to imagine what the streets of the Uzumaki nation were saying right now.

"Did you hear? Elder Akio is still alive!"

"No way, hasn't he been dead for three years?"

"It's true! Soone said they saw him!"

"You must've mistaken soone. I even went to pay respects at his grave during the New Year…"

Akio: "…"

Fine, he supposed it was slightly comforting that civilians still visited his grave during holidays…

Who was he kidding? It wasn't comforting at all.

So, he was walking laps. He needed more people to see him. He needed everyone to know he wasn't dead… but it didn't seem to be working.

"The news is real. I'm really not dead."

Civilian A: "We're talking about the Elder. Why are you joining in?"

Civilian B: "Don't be angry, ninja-sama. My friend really admires the Elder, so he gets touchy when others interrupt…"

Akio: "…"

Admire your head!

I'm standing right in front of you and you don't recognize ?!

Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?

After another lap, Akio gave up.

"A bunch of fools!"

He'd originally been excited to return to the Uzumaki nation, to et his two long-unseen disciples and Minato and Kushina.

But once he arrived, he learned that although Kirigakure had surrendered last night, the Uzumaki forces couldn't simply withdraw imdiately. They'd need two or three more days.

Since he had ti, he tried spreading the news that he was alive to the public.

Result: abysmal.

"Boring… I can't exactly fly into the sky and shout 'I'm alive!'"

He muttered… though for so reason, the idea was slightly tempting…

"Forget it. I'll go train Naruto instead."

Naruto's House

Little Naruto sat in his chair, glaring resentfully at a book titled The History of the Uzumaki Nation.

"Anyone nad Akio is a bad guy!"

Smack!

"Ow! Goshe-sensei, you hit again?!"

Uzumaki Goshe frowned.

"Don't insult the Elder!"

"Oh? Naruto dares insult now?"

Akio's figure appeared in the room.

"Elder!"

Goshe imdiately stood up.

Naruto, however, didn't move and pointedly turned his head away.

A mont later, Naruto stiffly rotated his head, stiffly stood, stiffly opened his mouth:

"O… ld… p-… pork… b… owl… hello."

Seeing Naruto's terrified expression, Akio sighed.

Using gravitational force to manipulate Naruto's body was easy, but forcing him to speak precisely… that was still beyond delicate control.

"A dignified ancestor like … and 'old pork bowl' is what you call ? What even is that?"

Akio released his jutsu, and Naruto dropped back onto the chair.

"Now, now. A good child should greet people properly. Try again on your own."

Naruto's eyes shifted. He stood.

"Old pork bowl, hello!"

Akio: "…"

Goshe spoke in sha, "Forgive , Elder. I failed to educate him."

Akio waved him off.

"It's fine. Kids are rebellious. With patience, they'll turn out well."

Goshe clearly wasn't convinced.

Akio ignored it. Naruto was just a bit defiant.

There was no way a child could out-stubborn him.

He glanced at the history book on the table. After flipping a few pages, he frowned.

Not because it was poorly written, it was too detailed, drowning in unnecessary parts.

The book should've focused on:

Under Elder Akio's leadership, defeating the Kaguya clan.

Under Elder Akio's leadership, forming an alliance with Konoha.

Under Elder Akio's leadership, founding the Uzumaki nation.

Etc.

Akio looked at Goshe, then tossed the book back.

"Take it. I'll personally educate Naruto from now on."

"Yes, Elder!"

"Nooo! Goshe-sensei!"

No one cared about Naruto's protests. After Goshe left, only Naruto and Akio remained.

Akio glanced at the sulking Naruto and cheerfully pulled him through the air.

Naruto didn't resist, he knew it was pointless.

But the next second, he panicked.

Akio lifted his shirt and put a hand on his stomach.

"Old pork bowl, what are you doing?!"

Akio ignored him, rubbing his belly.

"Help!!"

Ten minutes later, Akio let Naruto's shirt drop back down.

The 64-layer composite seal he'd constructed at full power was difficult even for him to open a crack in.

Naruto looked traumatized, making Akio sigh.

"What could an ancestor like possibly do to you? Aren't you curious about that seal on your belly?"

Naruto was curious… but still too stubborn to ask.

"Fine. I'll tell you so ninja world history."

"A long, long ti ago, pfft. No. Let's start from sixty years ago."

"Back then was the Warring States era. Konoha didn't exist. Our Uzumaki clan was still struggling to survive. Because of our alliance with the Senju, I represented the Uzumaki in the war against the Uchiha…"

Naruto pretended not to listen at first, but gradually beca absorbed.

"Old pork bowl… then what happened?"

Akio sighed. This nickna…

"Then I had a great battle with Uchiha Madara"

"What about the First Hokage?"

Akio's face darkened. Naruto's focus was way off.

"Later, Hashirama spared Madara and founded Konoha."

"The First Hokage was amazing…"

Naruto's eyes shone.

Akio: "…"

So I tell a whole dramatic story about fighting Madara, and you only admire Hashirama for letting him go and building a village?!

"Old pork bowl, keep going!"
