The two of them began moving on to other people they knew, but because of various inadequacies, they were crossed off the list one by one.
After crossing off names until the very end, the two of them simultaneously turned their gaze toward the place where Fukuzawa Yukichi had just walked.
Because of Oda Sakunosuke, they knew this president of the Detective Agency quite well; he could be described as a truly fair and upright person.
Moreover, his abilities were impressive enough to allow for cooperation with official authorities, his strength was sufficient to keep Dazai Osamu in check.
He even opened a detective agency of his own, so he could easily support himself.
Moreover, many of the people in the detective agency he runs are experts with unique skills, their character is beyond reproach.. Thinking of that, Dazai Osamu and Uzumaki Naruto both had a vague qualifier added before their character.
If you left the child in his hands, it should be considered a good choice; he has the strength to protect, the money to provide.
Thinking about this, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't stay still and pulled Sasuke along to find them.
Fortunately, they hadn't been thinking for long and the people hadn't gone far, so they quickly followed them.
Fukuzawa Yukichi stopped in front of a wooden door, pulled out his keys, entered, closed the door.
It was obvious that he had arrived home.
Uzumaki Naruto confirmed the person was inside and then stopped paying attention to it. He held the child in his arms up to eye level, scanning them from head to toe.
He hadn't been able to take a close look when he first created it using Yin-Yang Release, as the child's crying had drawn his attention, but now he had the time to examine it carefully.
As he watched, he smiled, "Sasuke, she looks just like you."
Uchiha Sasuke had been standing by his side the whole time; seeing Naruto staring at the child just now, he also turned his gaze away.
So he naturally knew why Uzumaki Naruto said that.
Unlike his appearance in the Cursed Spirit's spiritual world, perhaps due to the Yin-Yang Release of their fused powers, this child had golden hair and beautiful blue eyes like Naruto, but his features were from the Uchiha Clan, looking ninety-nine percent like Sasuke.
At this moment, he was staring at them with a pair of blue eyes, looking confused and completely unaware of his impending fate.
Uzumaki Naruto pulled out paper and a pen, solemnly wrote down the child's name, stated that he would come back for him in the future.
“Do you think she will find the food here unpalatable?”
What if we run into danger and Mr. Fukuzawa isn't around?
Uzumaki Naruto was rambling on and on.
Suddenly, he felt the troubles of raising a child.
Uchiha Sasuke knew that Naruto was unwilling to let go, so he stayed by his side in silence.
But as time passed second by second, the other person showed no sign of letting go.
“Naruto.” He had to speak up to remind him, “Time is almost up.”
"I know." Uzumaki Naruto lowered his head and reached out to touch the child's face.
Uchiha Sasuke gestured for Naruto to put the child by the door.
Time was of the essence, they no longer had time to have a proper discussion with Fukuzawa Yukichi regarding the adoption, so they could only leave the child here for now; fortunately, the man's character was trustworthy.
Naruto hesitated, then, as if having made up his mind, shouted, "Wait a minute!"
He reached out to stop Sasuke's movement, the power of the Nine-Tails began to overflow from his body.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't know what he was planning to do, then he witnessed a scene he never could have imagined.
Uzumaki Naruto split off half of the Nine-Tails, while simultaneously drawing a sealing array on this child.
Even a fool would know what he was doing—sealing half of the Nine-Tails inside this child.
"Kurama, I'm leaving this child to you." Uzumaki Naruto spoke solemnly to the Nine-Tails.
The Nine-Tails remained silent, as Naruto's actions reminded it of the Fourth Hokage, Minato.
One could only say they truly were father and son; Minato sealed half of it within Naruto, Naruto also sealed half of it within his child.
This action, which was exactly the same as what Minato did when Naruto was born, stemmed from two completely different motivations, yet in the end, they both arrived at the same emotional conclusion: to protect their children.
"I'm counting on you, Kurama!" Uzumaki Naruto pleaded earnestly once again.
This was the deepest way he could express his trust.
I am entrusting my child to you; I trust you just as you trusted me back then.
This child needs you, the Nine-Tails thought, I am the best solution for Naruto!
It nodded silently, willing to be sealed within the child's body.
"Alright." Uzumaki Naruto watched the seal's stripes successfully disappear and breathed a massive sigh of relief.
Uchiha Sasuke, who had been watching for a long time, took a step forward. "Since you're finished, it's my turn."
Ah, now it was Uzumaki Naruto's turn to be bewildered.
After Uchiha Sasuke finished speaking, faint purple patterns began to appear in his eyes, he used his finger to gently touch the child's forehead.
The blue-eyed child thought they were playing with her and reached out to grab Sasuke's finger.
Uchiha Sasuke gazed at those blue eyes; the baby's hand was small and soft, yet it gripped him with surprising strength.
Naruto suddenly realized that for the Uchiha Clan, the tradition of giving gifts was, of course, giving ocular power.
Just like Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi.
All the Uchihas he knew liked to do this, although the two who followed seemed to be giving up.. eyes.
"Since you're even giving away the Nine-Tails, I can't let you outdo me." Sasuke lifted his chin, a look of pride that Naruto loved to see.
Then I'll just give you some ocular power.
Naruto chuckled, intending to reach out and pat his head, but he suddenly remembered he was holding a baby, then remembered he had to send the baby away, causing his expression to instantly collapse.
"Sasuke.. you should do it." He handed over the swaddled infant in his hands with teary eyes, then turned his body away.
Uchiha Sasuke understood that he couldn't count on the other person, so he had no choice but to walk over while carrying the child himself.
After placing the child at the door, he stepped back to stand level with Naruto.
He picked up a pebble, flicked it lightly, it made a sound against the window.
Soon, the people inside the room, having heard the noise, walked out.
Sasuke placed a Genjutsu on the two of them, allowing them to see the person walking out of the door clearly.
Fukuzawa Yukichi looked around vigilantly, then discovered a bundle in front of the door. He carefully picked it up and found that it was actually a child.
He held the child and looked up, searching his surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone.
In the end, Fukuzawa Yukichi could only walk back into the house while holding the child.
At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke did not realize that although Fukuzawa Yukichi was an extremely upright person, he currently had a roommate, Mori Ougai, in his house.
After seeing the child off, Uzumaki Naruto, along with Sasuke, returned to their original world with the help of Yuuko Ichihara.
Naruto looked somewhat dejected, so Sasuke thought for a moment and comforted him, saying that the child possessed his own ocular power, which acted as a coordinate, meaning they would have the chance to come and see him again in the future.
Upon hearing this, Naruto's low spirits improved slightly. Sasuke wanted to follow up with more comfort, but the phone rang.
Uchiha Sasuke took a glance at the caller and saw it was his brother; he gave Naruto a gesture and answered the phone.
..
My brother wants us to go back and take a look," Sasuke said to Naruto after hanging up the phone. "He said he wants to introduce a few people to us.
Uchiha Sasuke felt he could go back and take a look; anyway, he had just finished a mission, so he shouldn't receive another one so soon.
If they returned directly to Yokohama, they would arrive just in time for the first child's due date, which would be perfect for making up for the mood Naruto had after just losing a child.
But I just received a message from someone else, too.
Uzumaki Naruto looked a bit conflicted, he reached out to hand over his phone so that Sasuke could see the message.
Hey you two, how about a summer seaside vacation? My treat!
Uchiha Sasuke lowered his gaze and saw the sender
[Gojo Satoru]

Chapter 67
At one o'clock in the morning, just when people are in their deepest sleep, Geto Suguru suddenly opened his eyes while sleeping.
In the silent space, a faint sound drifted in from outside the window; judging by the movement, someone was climbing in through the window.
Geto Suguru pulled the weapon from under his pillow, assuming it was just another assassin coming for the Star Plasma Vessel, prepared to rise and deliver a single, fatal blow to the opponent's head.
Yo, Sasuke, you guys arrived pretty fast!
Gojo Satoru's voice rang out from the side.
The Six Eyes could never make a mistake; Geto Suguru put down his weapon and stood up.
The bright moonlight illuminated the two people who had climbed up, making them clearly visible; it was indeed the two of them.
Geto Suguru turned on the light. "Why did you two climb up through the window?"
Could it be that there was an ambush by the door, so Naruto and Sasuke climbed through the window to avoid the other's surveillance?
His thoughts wandered for a moment, his mind brainstorming a whole bunch of conspiracy theories.
Naruto threw his hands up in a shrug. "It's late at night, since we saw you were all asleep, we were afraid of disturbing you, so we climbed through the window."
"Oh.." Geto Suguru was speechless. His head, which had been full of conspiracy theories, was suddenly cleared.
Naruto turned his head again and said to Gojo Satoru, "So, what was that thing you mentioned on the phone?"
When they received the two messages at the same time, they hadn't originally chosen a vacation; after all, they could go to the seaside anytime, they weren't short on money. By comparison, the matter regarding Uchiha Itachi was more important.
Just as the message of refusal was sent, Gojo Satoru called, rambling on about all sorts of things.
Although the words over the phone were vague, Uzumaki Naruto could tell that he seemed to be in trouble.
