Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Change clothes, wash face, comb hair.

"Will it smell? I wish I could take a shower." Hinata thought to herself, sniffing but unable to detect anything.

Finally, he borrowed a refreshing perfume from the maid who had spun the house, sprayed it a few times, and secretly decided to buy a few perfumes to keep on hand.

I wonder what kind of perfume Naruto likes?

Fearing he would run into Hinata's father, Naruto dared not go inside and insisted on waiting outside the gate. After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Hinata finally arrived.

This time, no maids from the branch household accompanied us, so we didn't need to go far.

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata was still the same as always, too embarrassed to look Naruto in the eye, and kept her head down fiddling with her fingers.

"I accepted a C-rank mission, which means I'll be away from the village for a while. It will take at least half a month before I can come back," Naruto said.

"Oh, then be careful and stay safe." Wasn't he here to ask her out? Hinata was disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face and said in a soft voice.

Naruto took something out of his backpack and handed it to Hinata: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Hinata carefully caught it, her eyes wide as she examined it closely.

"I bought this music box for you because I thought it was very well-designed and sounded beautiful. I hope you like it," Naruto said.

gift!

Upon receiving a gift from Naruto for the first time, Hinata couldn't describe her feelings and said in a soft voice, "Thank you! I... I really like it! I'll cherish it!"

"Is there anything you'd like me to do before we part?" Naruto asked.

Hinata thought for a moment, then said shyly, "Like last time..."

Naruto nodded, took a step forward, placed his hand on Hinata's head, and gently stroked it: "Good, good, Hinata is the best, awesome."

About ten minutes later.

Hinata, now dressed in her training clothes, stood in the courtyard and began practicing her skills against the wooden dummy.

"Naruto-kun believes in me. In his eyes, I am the best, I am the most outstanding."

I kept repeating these words to myself.

Hinata doesn't trust herself and often doubts herself, but that's okay. She may not trust herself, but she trusts Naruto.

Since Naruto said she's the best, then she must be the best.

Even someone as timid as her could never achieve anything, with the support and encouragement of someone she likes and secretly loves, can accomplish things she would otherwise never have been able to do.

Beliefs drive changes in temperament.

In the deepest part of Hinata's being, which she herself could not perceive, was neither body nor soul, and she could not distinguish between them.

The dormant, uncontrolled chakra of Hamura, which had remained intact for countless years, began to pulsate for the first time.

It seemed that Hinata's belief resonated with it.

~~~

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Class 7, all members assembled.

Kakashi waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

After a week's journey, we are approaching the seaside.

At that time, one could reach the Land of Waves simply by taking a boat across.

Scorching sun.

On the seemingly endless road, only Class 7 and Tazuna, a total of five people, were walking.

Naruto, walking upside down and drenched in sweat, was at the very front.

As he passed a puddle, he glanced at it strangely, knowing it was the ghost brother from the story, but ignored it and prepared to walk straight past.

It's left to Kakashi, who was left behind, to handle.

The two demon brothers, hiding in the water, exchanged a glance and both noticed Naruto's strange look.

Realizing that they might have been exposed and fearing that things might change if they hesitated, they suddenly attacked without hesitation.

Wow!

With the clanking of chains, the two worked together perfectly to bind Naruto securely: "Let's take care of one first."

"Ah! Naruto!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise.

Sasuke acted with his body before his mind, rushing to save Naruto.

Tazna was simply startled.

Kakashi, at the very back, was tense, his chakra on the verge of exploding, his eyes radiating danger and coldness.

"The road has narrowed," Naruto thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, he extracted a large amount of chakra, transformed it through the nature of lightning, and then released it all out of his body.

Thunder and lightning!

Chakra, which evaporates rapidly outside the body, was used by Naruto in a way that resembled that of a nouveau riche, with chakra being poured out as if it were free.

It stubbornly stabilized and took shape, transforming into a terrifying tree-like pattern of lightning.

The mainstream approach is to import Ghost Brother.

The extra small portion fell to the ground, into the surrounding empty space.

Without any subsequent replenishment, the chakra outside quickly evaporated and disappeared.

The ghost brother screamed incoherently, his body trembling like a leaf, before collapsing to the ground in a state of paralysis.

"Who is this person? They actually attacked me! They scared me half to death!" Naruto said, pretending to be still in shock.

"Idiot! Why do you have to be in the front all by yourself? What if we get into danger?" Sakura grabbed Naruto's ear and scolded him angrily.

"No, no, no! Be gentle! Sasuke's still here, my ear's going to fall off." Naruto's expression changed, and he whispered a reminder.

"What does it matter whether Sasuke was there or not when I teach you a lesson?" Sakura said, but still let go of his hand.

He glanced at the demon brother convulsing on the ground with fear and disgust, then pulled Naruto behind Kakashi.

"Have you mastered Nature Transformation to this extent?" Kakashi glanced at Naruto, then went over to look at the Demon Brothers who had been electrocuted and lost consciousness.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned to look at Tazna.

"Excuse me, is there any information that has been concealed or not clearly stated, Mr. Tazuna?"

Chapter 45 Naruto: I want to try

Dazner, sweating profusely, forced a smile and said, "No, no, why do you say that?"

“Although there is no direct evidence to prove it yet, but…” Kakashi said.

"These three of my subordinates are leaving the village for the first time in their lives, so it's impossible that there are any rogue ninjas deliberately targeting them."

"If it's targeting me, ha, then we should send an even more powerful one."

"After eliminating the wrong options, the only remaining suspicious target is you, Mr. Tazner."

Dazner was speechless.

Looking at the ghost brother who was still twitching involuntarily.

Thinking of the Land of Waves, thinking of Kado.

He knew that without the protection of these ninjas, he would have absolutely no chance of returning alive.

Building a bridge to change the status quo is nothing short of a pipe dream.

“Indeed, I concealed some information, but it was not intentional; there were reasons for it,” Dazner said.

"What's the reason?" Kakashi asked.

“Poor!” Dazner said in a deep voice.

"..." Kakashi.

"Of course I would also like to spend a lot of money to hire stronger ninjas for protection. If that's the case, I would even like to buy your village and relocate the whole village to the Land of Waves."

Tazna tilted his head back and deliberately looked directly at the sun, irritating his eyes and causing them to tear up.

He pounded his heart and stamped his feet, filled with grief and indignation.

"But there's nothing I can do! I'm poor! The entire Land of Waves is poor; we simply don't have the financial means."

"Put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, what would you do? Sit back and wait to die? Or tell a little lie and seize a sliver of hope for success?"

“It doesn’t matter if I die, but I pity my poor, lonely grandson and my helpless daughter.”

"I'm sorry, I may not be able to go home and see you again. From now on, you will have to live on your own, pitifully and helplessly."

"..." Kakashi.

Leaving Tazuna, who was choking back tears, Kakashi walked a short distance away.

"Ninjas don't appear on C-rank missions. We haven't even reached our destination yet, and two rogue ninjas have already shown up. There will definitely be even more powerful figures coming later."

"This is clearly a B-level, or even an A or S-level mission; it's dangerous and uncontrollable."

"What do you think? If we continue, it's life-threatening. If we turn back, it won't be recorded on our resumes because the employer concealed it."

Noticing that the three of them were looking at him, Naruto scratched his head and said, "I don't care. With Kakashi-sensei here, even if the sky falls, you'll hold it up. If you're not afraid, why should I be?"

"It looks dangerous, let's go back," Sakura whispered.

“As long as the difference in strength isn’t so vast that it’s impossible to overcome, it’s worth the challenge,” Sasuke said, stealing a glance at Naruto.

I can't understand why my body acted first to save Naruto.

After some discussion and consulting with the three individuals, Kakashi made the final decision.

continue!

The purpose of leaving the village was to gain experience and broaden our horizons. We haven't even seen the shadow of a powerful enemy yet, so why should we run away at the first sign of trouble?

Of course, the biggest reason is confidence in their own strength.
