*Author Note*

Three small stories. I didn't want to bother posting three mini-chapters, so I'll simply separate them within the chapter.

*End of Author Note*

Story 1: A new Dojutsu

A tense atmosphere reigned inside a living room of the Yamanaka residence as Naruto and Ino sat on a couch, and opposite them sat Inoichi, Ino's father, and Mika, her mother. Well, the atmosphere between Naruto and Inoichi was tense, while Ino and Mika seemingly were not even noticing anything wrong.

Anyway, as soon as everyone was comfortable and tea was served, Ino hugged Naruto's arm with a happy expression on her face.

"Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant!"

As soon as these words left Ino's mouth, the air solidified.

*Cough*

Inoichi coughed, resulting in some blood landing on the table in between the two couches as his whole body started shaking.

"I will kill you! I will kill YOU!! I WILL KILL YOU, NARUTO!!!"

Inoichi's anger exploded as he flared his chakra with a mighty battle roar. His eyes turned crimson while the kanji meaning "precious" appeared in his left eye and the one for "daughter" in his right.

The Dotinggan.

"DIE!!! [Kagutsuchi]"

Naruto's body was engulfed in a crimson flame, burning to a crisp in an instant, killing him.

When Ino saw that, she opened her eyes in shock and looked at her father in awe.

"Whoa, I didn't know you were so strong, daddy! I don't care about Naruto anymore! You are the coolest!"

Meanwhile, back in the real world, a frothing Inoichi was sprawled on the ground with a massive grin on his face. There was a slowly growing bump on the back of his head, and his wife stood beside him, menacingly holding a frying pan.

Moments later, a massive grin appeared on Mika's face as the frying pan vanished. She immediately walked up to her daughter and hugged her.

"Congratulations, dear! Have you two already discussed the name of the baby? If you have any questions, just come to me, and I will help you as good as possible."

While Ino and her mother were hugging, Naruto glanced at Inoichi's body and clapped his hands together while lowering his head.

"Rest in peace, father-in-law."

Story 2: The Hokage Mountain

The Hokage Mountain: Konoha's iconic mountain with the faces of all the Kage carved into it. Usually, all of Konoha's citizens were proud of this monument, but in recent years they felt kind of reluctant to look at it.

Hashirama, Tobimaru, Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade. When it was just these five, everything was still fine. All these people had stories behind them, and their feats were widely known in the shinobi world.

The sixth Hokage, Sasuke Uchiha, apparently was a hero during the fourth shinobi war and someone who protected Konoha against Akatsuki, but somehow, no one remembered him doing anything.

Anyway, there are rumors that he quit the job after almost burning down the Hokage building, but most people dismissed that as mere rumors and would rather believe the rumor that he had some other problems that prevented him from doing his duties.

On a side note, there were also some rumors that Sasuke would occasionally walk around while transformed into a woman, but most people dismissed these rumors as nonsense as well.

Anyway, the seventh Hokage, Shikamaru Nara. Despite being known for his intelligence, few people saw him as proper Kage material due to his low strength, not even realizing that there was little purpose in assigning a strong person as a paper-pusher.

There were rumors that he got the position due to having an extremely powerful backer. Additionally, there were rumors that he had absolutely no interest in the position, but that was dismissed as nonsense by most. After all, if he doesn't want it, how did he get it in the first place?

Anyway, one day he locked himself up for a week with the Nara clan's greatest minds, and after emerging from his seclusion, he executed a 47-step-plan to ditch the position on someone else. Some murmur, that one of the contingency plans could have resulted in Yuna becoming the new Hokage, but he vehemently denied that.

The eighth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi. Although well known, he couldn't exactly compete with characters like Hiruzen and Minato, so the situation still didn't feel right.

Additionally, in the recent months, rumors appeared that Kakashi was already looking for a replacement due to problems with his mental health.

Somehow, a 16-year-old Konohamaru was currently the top runner for the position, confusing many people.

However, that wasn't even the worst part...

"So, do we just stop carving faces into the mountain, try to somehow squeeze the next face in there, or are we starting a new row underneath the first?

The Hokage mountain was getting rather stuffy. There were frequent discussions in Konoha's top branches about what they were supposed to do when the next Kage was selected, and so far, there was no consensus.

Story 3: Disciplining your Descendant

It was a sunny day in Konoha, and today a rather interesting event was about to happen just above the Uzumaki clan.

A man with white skin and eyes came floating down from the sky and hovered above the Uzumaki compound.

"HINATA! I'M TONERI OOTSUTSUKI, AND I'M HERE TO TAKE YOU IN AS MY WIFE!!!"

These words were boldly shouted, causing them to echo over the Uzumaki compound, making everyone who heard them tremble in fear.

"S-Someone d-dares to claim one of Yuna's women?"

"He's tired of living, you know."

"This will be a blast to watch, you know."

Surprisingly, the new arrival wasn't instantly blasted from the sky, and a black portal appeared behind him instead.

Kaguya serenely floated out of the portal, her white hands gently grabbing the newly arrived person's shoulders.

Toneri was surprised by someone suddenly grabbing him and wanted to slap away the two hands, but to his surprise, he couldn't move the hands at all.

He turned his head to see who gripped him and immediately froze in place.

"Ka... Ka... KAGUYA!?"

As one of Kaguya's distant descendants, he naturally knew who that woman in front of him was, scaring the life out of him.

"Yuna said I'm responsible for the discipline of my descendants, so I'm afraid I have to punish you for your insolence."

Before Toneri could understand what was going on, he was firmly placed over Kaguya's knees, with his arms and legs trapped in place by Kaguya's hair.

*SMACK*

A loud smacked echoed over the Uzumaki compound as Kaguya's hand impacted Toneri's butt.

"H-Hey, s-stop! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

*SMACK*

"Disciplining a naughty child."

Kaguya was unbothered by Toneri's words and simply continued spanking away.

"Hahaha, as expected, we're in for an awesome show, you know."

"Oh wow, mid-air public spanking. Not something you see every day, you know."

"YOU NEED TO PULL DOWN HIS PANTS, YOU KNOW!!!"

Kaguya heard someone giving some advice, and after pondering it for a moment, Kaguya remembered how Yuna had punished her maid before and realized that the advice was probably correct.

So, without further ado, she decisively pulled down Toneri's pants and continued spanking away.

"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! DON'T PULL... OW, DOWN MY PANTS!!!"

Kaguya realized that pulling down Toneri's pants seemed to have a satisfactory effect on the punishment, causing her to nod in approval.

'Yuna said that taking someone's advice is nothing shameful and can even improve the situation. Despite the person giving me a tip being much weaker than me, he gave me good advice. It seems like Yuna was correct, and I should listen to other people more frequently.

So, the spanking continued under the hooting of the cheering Uzumaki clan and the wailing of Toneri.

While everyone found the situation rather hilarious, there was a single person who had different thoughts while watching that scene.

'Ahh, I'm so jealous~'

As that person said that, their crimson eyes slowly turned pink while her irises gradually became heart-shaped.
