28 28 - Twins birthday party....

Besides the Great Lake...

After Saito Sensei's demonstration of the Chakra papers' use, Kirito nodded at him with a serious face. After all, this was going to be a new thing for him.

"Here goes nothing… " Kirito said as he infused a little bit of chakra into the Chakra testing paper.

As Kirito's chakra went into the Chakra testing paper, it first split into three parts, representing his wind nature. Then, the right side of the split paper got wet from water nature chakra, and the left side of the split paper showed the earth nature.

At the same time, the middle paper caught fire, showing the fire nature as well.

"Amazing, kid! You were born with four chakra natures: Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. This proves that you might possess multiple Kekkei Genkai or even Kekkai Tota. I can't actually say if there is a four chakra nature combination or not, but either way, it's time to move on and use more Shadow Clones for your training. " Saito said excitedly, thinking of the possibilities of the improvements that Kirito had gained and the chance of him possessing Wood Style.

"Um, Sensei, didn't you tell me that the 3rd Hokage can use all seven chakra types? " Kirito asked, wondering why his Sensei was getting so excited.

After all, there were still some stronger people out there.

"No, you don't understand, Kirito. Just because he can use all seven chakra natures doesn't mean he can use them to their fullest. If he was able to use the chakra to the maximum, he might have been able to use Wood Style or Dust Release. You know, even I can use all seven types of chakra... The reason for that is Nature Transformation… " With that, Saito launches into a long lecture about chakra nature and provides some demonstrations.

"Then what about Yin-Yang chakra nature… " Kirito asks with a serious look, as Yin and Yang are the only two extraordinary chakra natures.

"You see, every male is born with Yang chakra, so they possess it by default. That's how I started using it. As for how I got Yang nature, you don't need to know. After all, you have the Yin half of the Nine-Tails inside you, which will provide the Yin chakra for your use. " Saito explains with a serious nod.

"Is that how it works? " Naruto says, surprised.

"Yes, that's how it works... Anyway, next month, I will be taking you to the Hokage's office for your special Chunin exam. " Saito says as they continue practicing.

Konoha...

At a random restaurant, which is completely booked by Saito for the twins' birthday, many people from various clans have gathered.

Kakashi has joined with Guy and Asuma after being asked by Kirito the other day.

While Kirito was practicing at Training Ground 7, Kakashi was doing his duty as usual. At some point, Kirito disappeared from Kakashi's sight.

After Kirito finished training for the day, he found Kakashi watching over him. He thought, 'He might be doing his guard duty.' Kirito then used Flash Step to arrive in front of Kakashi and said, "Senpai, tomorrow is my brother and my birthday. Please don't stalk around for one day and join like a regular person, just for tomorrow."

"Are you inviting me, kid? " Kakashi asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, and you are welcome to bring one or two friends of yours if you want to… " Kirito said as he left.

"Don't mind if I do… " Kakashi said, looking at the back of the kid and thinking, "Sensei, I think he might surpass you... " with a sigh.

Uzuki Yugao has joined with her friends Anko and Kurenai at the party.

As Kirito fell asleep, he heard small breathing from the house roof and knew the Anbu big sister was doing her duty. He went to sleep peacefully.

Very early in the morning, Kirito went to the roof and found her sleeping like a baby in the cold. He went near her with his blanket and wrapped her up without waking her up.

Afterward, he started his morning exercises as usual.

As a Jonin-ranked shinobi, Uzuki is always aware of her surroundings and dangers, just like any other Anbu, but that day, after a hard mission, she had to come and look after the twins, so she didn't get much rest.

This made her fall into a deep sleep, and with Kirito's blanket and the nice warmth, she slept even better.

Anyway, after sleeping for a little over an hour, her eyes finally opened, and she saw Kirito doing his duty. She smiled at him and gave a small nod. "Thank you, I should go now… " She didn't think much of it, as she knew he was training with Saito Sensei and might not need her protection. However, she still had to do her job.

"No, wait. I want to ask you if you can come to our birthday the day after tomorrow, if possible. " Kirito asked with a hopeful look.

Looking at Kirito's cute face and his hopeful eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no. She agreed,

"Okay, I will try, kid…"

"Also, don't forget to bring your friend, and no masks, okay... " Kirito said, smiling as he watched her depart.

From the Hyuga clan, Hinata came with her mother and father, while Neji was only able to bring his father.

With Shikamaru, both his mom and dad also joined.

With Choji, only his father came.

Ino joined with both her parents.

So, counting Kirito, Naruto, Saito, and Hiruzen, the birthday party had over 25 people in total.

During the birthday party, Naruto cut the cake first, and Kirito went next. While cutting the cake, Kirito couldn't help but remember his mother's face and thought, 'How could I be happy today? It's also their death anniversary…' Tears started forming in the corners of his eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and joined in the celebration.

As everyone enjoyed the party, Kirito noticed that Saito, Kakashi, and Hiruzen were arguing about something. He approached them to see what was going on.

"What are you guys arguing about? I don't understand, but one thing is for sure: this book has some strange stuff… " Kirito said, taking out the latest copy of Icha Icha Paradise, shocking all three of them.

"Where did you get that, kid? " Saito asked, quickly taking the book away from Kirito.

"I bought it after Kakashi-senpai rejected to let me read it… " Kirito said truthfully.

"Hey, I told you that you are too young for this book, didn't I? " Kakashi said with a serious tone.

"Heh, what is so special about this book? " Kirito said disdainfully, adding, "After I read this copy of the book, I went to the bathhouse to take a peek, but the older sisters let me join them. So, I don't find anything good about it... " with a very serious tone.

After hearing this, all three of them didn't know what to say and kept quiet until the end of the day.
