Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Chapter 230 Turning off the lights

Hinata gradually regained consciousness and opened her eyes.

at a loss.

Not sure why.

He quickly recalled the scenes before he fell into a coma and naturally assumed it was a dream.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of Naruto leaning against the window, reading a novel, that he realized it wasn't a dream.

A blush crept back onto her cheeks, and Hinata was especially embarrassed when she noticed she was wearing a yukata. The indescribable shyness almost made Hinata faint again.

"It wasn't me." Naruto said without looking up, "The yukata was given to you by the shopkeeper. I just carried you back."

Hinata sat up halfway, lowered her head, and walked to the bathroom without saying a word. As she passed her luggage, she squatted down and rummaged through it to find a change of clothes that she had prepared in advance.

About twenty minutes later, Hinata, who had changed into formal attire and had her hair and face all done, silently approached Naruto and knelt down beside him.

"Liar..." Hinata muttered under her breath, her fingers fidgeting unconsciously, her ears as red as blood.

"What?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"The cells have all told me." Hinata glanced at Naruto's nose, not daring to meet his gaze, and quickly lowered her head again, speaking in a weak voice.

"You're the one who dressed me, and you even touched me..."

She couldn't bring herself to say anything more; it was too embarrassing. At this point, even Hinata's neck flushed red.

"Ahem, well..." Naruto chuckled awkwardly, closed his novel, and turned his gaze to the window: "You're so cute, I couldn't help it..."

"Cute and all that..." Hinata couldn't think straight. Her body swayed a couple of times, and she seemed to be on the verge of fainting again.

Sensing Hinata's unusual behavior and to prevent her from actually fainting, Naruto changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, what kind of missions would a peaceful place like the Land of Hot Springs, with no high-end combat capabilities, require the intervention of the Anbu?"

Hinata exhaled, patted her face to stop her thoughts from dwelling on the embarrassing scene, and said, "No."

"My mission this time was to assassinate a retainer of the daimyo of the Land of Lightning. On my return journey, I passed through this area. The hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs are quite nice, so..."

Normally, genin who graduate from the ninja academy will work in groups of three, under the guidance of jonin, to carry out missions and gain experience.

Participate in the Chunin Exams and be promoted to Chunin.

Then, based on the recommendations of other Jonin, he gained the Hokage's approval and was promoted to Jonin.

This is the typical path a ninja takes for promotion.

Hinata is not an option. She has never formed a three-person team before and is not qualified to participate in the Chunin Exams. Considering her current strength, there is no point in starting from scratch.

After discussions between the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and the head of the Anbu, Minato, they decided on Hinata's destination.

That's right, it's the Dark Division.

In the future, Hanabi will marry Naruto and give birth to a daughter for him. Even now, Hinata, who still hasn't adjusted, doesn't want to stay at home.

The main problem is that I don't know how to deal with fireworks.

Naruto became distant again, and he went home and went on dates less and less often.

Hinata took the initiative to ask for work; otherwise, as the heir of the Hyuga clan's main branch, even the Hokage couldn't just order her around.

We chatted casually, and because I was with someone I liked, the time didn't feel long.

Sunset dusk.

Gradually, the sun set completely, and darkness enveloped the earth.

After having dinner at the hot spring inn where they were staying, the two of them went for a walk outside.

"Naruto-kun." Hinata.

"Huh?" Naruto.

"Is there some trouble?" Hinata asked hesitantly.

In her memory, Naruto usually wouldn't come to see her unless he had nothing else to do.

Especially recently, as she has grown older, Naruto, who has become increasingly aloof, has rarely appeared.

A sudden visit must mean something tricky has happened that's difficult to handle alone.

I was hoping Naruto would bring it up himself, but he didn't get to the point for a long time.

Thinking the matter was too troublesome, Naruto was too embarrassed to speak up. Since that was the case, Hinata felt it would be better for her to make the first move.

We must not let small things escalate into big problems.

Important matters are often delayed and become difficult.

Difficult matters become unsolvable when left unresolved.

"Something troublesome?" Naruto asked, puzzled. "What kind of troublesome thing?"

"Isn't that right?" Hinata asked, puzzled.

After hearing Hinata's explanation, Naruto covered his face.

From this perspective, isn't he just like a scumbag?

Hinata is only sought out when Hinata is needed; otherwise, she is rarely seen.

"I'm sorry," Naruto sighed, "it's my fault."

An agreement with my father-in-law.

Why I'm reducing the number of times I go home and go on dates.

Explain everything clearly to Hinata from beginning to end.

Hinata.

is it?

There was such an agreement between Father and Naruto.

You can't practice before you get married.

Naruto doesn't go home or go on dates often, not because he's tired of her. On the contrary, she's just too cute, and Naruto is having a hard time resisting her.

After less than two minutes of silence, Hinata burst out laughing. She covered her mouth, turned her head away, and her shoulders were shaking.

After laughing, Hinata felt much better. She looked down at her feet, at the road that seemed to recede as she walked.

"My father is really something."

"Naruto-kun, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

It makes people overthink and suffer from insomnia due to anxiety.

“You were too young before, so it didn’t matter whether you told me or not,” Naruto said.

"As you grow up, I will unilaterally keep my promise, and with my cultivation and the hidden threats, I will forget about this matter."

I'm sorry I made you feel uneasy.

Hinata shook her head, glanced at Naruto, mustered her courage, and reached out her left hand to take Naruto's right hand.

Great.

Naruto was not tired of her, nor was he annoyed by her. On the contrary, he liked her very much, to the point that he couldn't help himself.

Next, they took a silent walk, hand in hand, to the beach, and then circled back.

They learned that Naruto wasn't leaving.

Knowing that Naruto had become the Divine Tree and that his physique had undergone a transformation, training methods like physical exercise could no longer help him grow stronger.

What he needs now is to absorb energy; the higher the quality of the energy, the better the effect.

Of course, flowering and bearing fruit is not something that can be achieved overnight; it is a long process.

Hinata secretly made a decision.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, she took a deep breath.

"Can I really do this?"

"It's not a question of whether it can be done or not, it's a question of whether it must be done."

"Naruto made the promise, I don't know anything about the promise. It's okay, it's okay, believe in yourself."

I kept telling myself, "Don't get dizzy, don't get dizzy, you must stay awake."

After washing up and dressing up briefly, Hinata returned to her room: "I'm going to sleep now, I'm turning off the lights."

“You and I are both in perfect Sage Mode, so why would you need to sleep?” Naruto said, puzzled.

Hinata did not answer.

pat.

Turn off the lights.

Chapter 231 Mind and Body, Connected

The next day.

The sun is rising.

The sky gradually brightened.

Awakening from her deep sleep, Hinata stared blankly at the ceiling.

Graduation...

No wonder!

Why did I faint again?

We've only just begun, we haven't even gotten to the main point yet, how pathetic.

Hinata grinded her teeth, feeling frustrated and upset.
