Chapter 118
Hearing Natsuki say that, Tenten didn't object.
She also loved having meals together as a family—chatting with her dad and her future husband over dinner made everything feel light and joyful, as if all the day's fatigue just melted away.
Besides, she was secretly worried about Natsuki overusing his brain. Rumor had it that kind of stress could lead to white hair.
So, it was best to follow Natsuki's plan.
The shop owner said, "From now on, I'll take care of grocery shopping and cooking. You two just focus on what you need to do."
"Thanks, Oyaji," Natsuki replied without being polite. They were all familiar enough now that courtesy was unnecessary.
Still, Natsuki glanced at his father-in-law. He figured it might be a good idea to send him on a trip before the final exams began—preferably to the capital of the Land of Fire, which was safer. Once the Konoha Destruction Plan began, it could affect more than just the village, and Natsuki didn't want Tenten to become an orphan.
After dinner, Natsuki pulled Tenten into their room. He held her close and gave her a sweet kiss.
When the time came, he reluctantly left the ninja tools shop and returned home.
Back at his house, he shut all the windows and doors, then headed straight into the gravity training chamber. He first took a brisk walk for half an hour, then activated 15 times gravity and began his nightly training.
Yes—15x gravity!
He had grown used to 10x, but the human body in this world didn't gain physical strength as quickly as he'd hoped. Even training under such heavy conditions wasn't producing massive results. So Natsuki kept increasing the gravity level.
