Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Naruto had his eyes closed and was completely unprepared. Logically, this attack should have hit him without any chance of missing.

Hanabi was also very confident in her hand speed and never even considered the possibility of missing.

But that's exactly what happened.

In Hanabi's view, a sure-fire strike hit empty air.

Naruto, who was supposed to be sitting cross-legged at the low table waiting for his instant noodles to be ready, suddenly dodged away.

"Huh?" Hanabi was stunned.

Naruto was equally stunned: "Huh! How did I get up?"

Sealed space.

The Nine-Tails, still lying prone, slowly opened its eyes: "Naruto."

I heard the Nine-Tails' voice.

While dealing with Hanabi who was lunging at him and relentlessly trying to press his pressure points, Naruto separated his consciousness and entered the sealed space, arriving in front of Kurama.

"Do you remember a few days ago, before we entered the Forest of Death, when you dodged that woman's kunai attack?" Nine-Tails said.

"Oh, I remember that. I don't know how, but my body started moving on its own," Naruto said.

“Once is a coincidence, but twice cannot be explained by coincidence,” Nine-Tailed Fox said.

"If I'm not mistaken, your body probably possesses a passive instinct to evade attacks."

“What you said, I’ve thought about it too. I did a test at the central tower the day before yesterday,” Naruto said.

"Let the shadow clones attack me? No way, that's not going to happen."

“Think carefully about what state you were in back then,” Nine-Tails said.

"You know about the shadow clone attack, and you've been prepared for it."

"When you dodged the kunai, just like when you dodged the pressure point strike, you were completely unprepared and in a relaxed state."

"You mean..." Naruto said thoughtfully.

“Perhaps this is the characteristic of your passive instinct,” Nine-Tails said.

"It can only be triggered when you are completely relaxed and unprepared; that is, you must relinquish control of your body, and so on..."

outside world.

After hearing Kurama's explanation, Naruto's eyes lit up.

An attack was coming right in front of him, a perfect opportunity to test himself. He relaxed his body, neither dodging nor blocking, and waited for his body to react on its own.

Bang!

Hanabi's finger successfully touched Naruto's abdomen.

"Pfft!" Naruto rolled his eyes and cried out in pain.

"Ah! Brother-in-law! Why didn't you hide?" Hanabi exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh, heh heh, just consider it a way to let you vent your anger and calm down," Naruto said with a forced smile.

Sealed space.

"No, there must be a mistake. I don't have that kind of passive instinct you're talking about," Naruto said with a bitter face.

Good heavens, that's some serious pressure point manipulation with soft fists...

This is really fucking awful.

Damage prevents training, affects the body's most vulnerable internal organs, and also impacts chakra pathways.

Now, whenever I try to draw chakra, the part of my body that was sealed hurts terribly.

“You’re the one who’s mistaken,” Nine-Tails said slowly, closing his eyes to rest.

Do you think it's easy to completely relax and not take any precautions when facing an attack?

"Your conscious mind wants to relax, but your subconscious mind can't. Undoubtedly, this is a skill that requires a lot of practice to master."

"A lot of practice... So, you want me to practice taking beatings?" Naruto said dryly.

"Hmm." Nine-Tails.

outside world.

Naruto endured the pain and got up.

The thought that the body could automatically dodge attacks and be invincible from the start, and the thought that mastering this passive instinct would mean enduring countless beatings.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chapter 64 Choice

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law," Hanabi said, bowing her head.

"It was my fault for playing a prank on you at first. You scared me back and I was even angry enough to hit you. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm in good health, I'm not afraid of being hit." Naruto waved his hand and said, picking up his instant noodles and slurping them down.

You've only just begun. He'll be facing endless blows later. But thinking about it, this little bit of pain is nothing.

"Then you have to promise not to tell your older sister," Hanabi whispered.

She knew all too well how much her sister cherished her brother-in-law. If her sister found out that she had not only scared him but also injured him, ugh…

My sister is angry, and I'm a little scared.

"What just happened? What are you talking about? I don't understand at all," Naruto asked, bewildered.

Seeing this, Hanabi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you're so good. I like you the most. No, no, I like my sister the most. Brother-in-law is my second favorite. Hmm."

Naruto smiled slightly: "How's your sister doing lately?"

"It's very good, or rather, too good." Hanabi knelt down, resting her chin on her hands, and leaned on the low table.

"She eats a lot. One of her meals is enough for me to eat for three days. Then she eats five meals a day."

"I don't know where all the food I ate went. My stomach isn't bulging at all."

"Her lifestyle is also very regular and stable. Let me tell you a secret, don't tell anyone I said it, but last night I secretly saw a photo of her kissing you."

"..." Naruto.

What's so great about photos? The person in the picture is right here.

"Hey, could you ask your sister to let me know if she's free tomorrow so we can hang out?" Naruto said.

"Isn't this a pointless question? Of course she's free; she's been looking forward to this day for a long time," Hanabi thought to herself.

Click!

The door was opened from the outside, and Sakura's voice came from the entrance hall.

"I'm back! Why did you leave without waiting for me? It smells so good! I want some instant noodles too, help me..."

Voice.

Stopped abruptly.

Sakura, who had taken off her shoes and walked into the house barefoot, saw Hanabi, who was kneeling in front of the low table without taking off her shoes, and was speechless.

"Huh! Aren't you my brother-in-law's companion? What are you doing at my brother-in-law's house?" Hanabi asked, puzzled.

"I'm back," she said, as if she'd lived here all her life.

"Um, Hinata's little sister, let's get to know each other formally. I'm Sakura Haruno," Sakura said.

"Hinata Hanabi." Hanabi sat up straight and said solemnly.

"Hanabi-chan? Here's what happened." Sakura casually rummaged through the instant noodles and boiled water, mentally rehearsing her words as she spoke.

To some extent, Hanabi represents Hinata, so we can't take her lightly.

After Sakura's explanation, Hanabi understood.

"I see. So you moved here specifically to correct your brother-in-law's bad habits," Hanabi said.

"Okay." After finishing her work, Sakura sat opposite Hanabi and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you so much for your care and concern for my brother-in-law," Hanabi said.

"It's nothing. I'm doing this for myself. If anything happens to him, I'll be very troubled," Sakura said with a smile. "I still need him to help me pursue someone."

“In that case, we can stop here. Please move out today,” Hanabi said.

"Huh?" Sakura's smile froze, and she quickly said.

"I'm afraid that won't work. You don't know how deeply ingrained Naruto's bad habits are. Without me watching him, he'll go back to his old ways."

"It's alright, I'll talk to my older sister. It's only right that she handles my brother-in-law's daily life matters," Hanabi said.

“Uh… Hinata… that won’t work, right? Look, she’s so shy, especially around Naruto,” Sakura said.

“I can handle it. It’s not much trouble. I just need to make sure he eats on time and doesn’t stay up late.”

That's true," Hanabi frowned almost imperceptibly.

Even ignoring the issue of fainting due to shyness.

My sister is the heir of the main family, and her schedule is packed all day long. How could she possibly take care of her brother-in-law's daily life?

Send a maid over?

Given her brother-in-law's inexplicably unpopular status, it's hard to guarantee that the maid who comes will take good care of him.

"Huh! Isn't there me too?" Hanabi's eyes lit up as she suddenly realized.

She's incredibly bored right now. Her classes have been drastically reduced, and she has no one to play with.

If I could move in with my brother-in-law, then…

This seems a bit difficult. How should I tell my father? Oh well, let my sister worry about it. Let's arrange for this girl to leave first.

She's already his sister's man, how can she live with other girls, even if they're friends or companions? It's unacceptable! My brother-in-law is really something.

And my older sister, I don't know if she knows about this.
