Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Did your father ever leave the house after that?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I saw it from behind. After coldly rejecting my sister, Father went out right after," Hanabi said.

"I wonder where they went? They came back very late."

Where else could it be? There are only two places: the Hokage Tower to find the Third Hokage, and…

Come find him.

Naruto rubbed his temples, lost in thought.

He did not encounter any suspicious persons yesterday, and did not deny that Riji was hiding in the shadows observing.

Of course, I have to go to the Third Hokage's place. It involves the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Without the Third Hokage's permission, who would dare to make a decision on their own?

Therefore, if we put ourselves in Japan's shoes, it's not hard to understand why he initially refused but then agreed the next day.

Initially, the decision was rejected because there was no certainty. However, after communicating with three generations of relatives and obtaining permission, there was naturally no reason to reject it again.

Perhaps Riji had other considerations, but ultimately I am not Riji and cannot fully understand or guess Riji's thoughts.

Having roughly figured out the crux of the problem, Naruto looked at Hanabi: "Tell me, should I visit your father? He already knows about me, so if I don't go, it'll be a bit..."

"Oh, just like Father said, you actually have this idea." Hanabi was surprised.

"No need. Father said he doesn't want to see you. Just take good care of me and protect me. Also, don't encourage my sister too often."

"Even the best medicine will eventually develop resistance, and after a short period of time, it will have a better effect."

He doesn't want to see me because I stole his daughter's heart and quietly took 50 million.

The suggestion to discourage Hinata from doing so too often is most likely related to the Byakugan advancement.

The fact that they didn't arrange for any guards and entrusted Hanabi's safety to me suggests that they likely heard something from the Third Hokage, learning that they could control the Nine-Tails' power.

Naruto was still pondering his future father-in-law's thoughts when he felt his arm being nudged, interrupting his train of thought. He glanced to the side.

"Brother-in-law, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Hanabi asked.

"You didn't eat at home?" Naruto said, heading to the kitchen.

Fireworks followed closely behind, peeking out cautiously: "My father told me to come directly to your place to eat."

It's just that Hinata can't come, otherwise Hiashi really wanted to send Hinata over to get that 50 million back.

Hanabi's stomach capacity is so small, it's better than nothing, she can eat whatever she can.

Naruto's lips twitched, realizing that it would be very difficult to continue relying on Hinata in the future, and that it would only be possible after they got married.

If he doesn't think about making money, the remaining 40 million yuan in his hands will be his living expenses for the next few years.

"Should I put in the effort to make money?" Naruto wondered as he rummaged through the ingredients in the refrigerator.

Pick a few eggs, some bacon, cheese, and tomatoes, including the essential toast, and make a sandwich.

"Brother-in-law, you're so skilled!" Hanabi exclaimed.

“Living alone means you have to do everything yourself, and you'll gradually get the hang of it,” Naruto said.

"Oh! It smells so good, and this fried egg looks so pretty!" Hanabi exclaimed.

"Uh, using tomatoes as molds will ensure the fried eggs stay intact and look nice. Other things, like onions or green peppers, will also work," Naruto said.

After meal.

"How do you usually spend your day?" Naruto asked.

"Morning exercise, breakfast, meditation, lunch, afternoon rest, studying, dinner, shower, sleep," Hanabi said.

“That’s pretty regular,” Naruto said. “Just stick to your usual lifestyle, with one extra rule: you’re not allowed to leave my sight.”

"That's what my father told me too. He said I have to report to you wherever I go, so you know I can't act on my own," Hanabi nodded.

"That's good." Naruto had no other requests. He quickly tidied up, gestured for Hanabi to do as she pleased, and then formed hand seals to create five shadow clones.

"The library should be opening soon. Go ahead, each of you take charge of one area and look up information," Naruto said.

"Write down anything you don't understand, and then..."

Since it is a shadow clone that has completely replicated my memories, there is no need for detailed instructions; it already knows what to do.

After dismissing the shadow clone, Naruto created another shadow clone to tidy up the house, pack up Sakura's belongings and send them to her, and also help Hanabi decorate the place.

He himself was not idle either; he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and tried to sense the deepest part of his spirit.

The results were not satisfactory.

There is too much external interference.

Inside and outside the house, all sorts of sounds affect our hearing.

The existence of light cannot be ignored, even with eyes closed.

The aroma in the room tantalizes the sense of smell.

The wind blowing in from the window stimulates the sense of touch.

"Is it not okay?" Naruto thought to himself.

The more I try to be still, the less still I become. In this state, I become particularly sensitive to the slightest movement around me.

After nearly two hours of no progress, Naruto paused and got up to exercise.

Seeing Naruto make a move, Hanabi, who was lying on the tatami mat after finishing her training and was so bored that her left and right hands were pretending to be fighting, quickly sat up.

"Brother-in-law, I'm so bored, is there anything fun to do?"

"Boring, what do you do at home?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

"Just sit there and space out, or play with those toys you're already tired of," Hanabi said.

Where can he find something fun to do in such a short time?

Moreover, the saying "playing with things leads to the loss of ambition" is not just a joke.

If Hanabi, a genius, were to be turned into a useless person, how would she ever face her future father-in-law?

Thinking of this, Naruto's face immediately turned serious: "Hanabi, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that your future would not be simple."

"Of course, I'm a genius," Hanabi said confidently.

"Ha, what's so great about being a genius? In my eyes, you're far more than just a genius," Naruto said.

"Most geniuses either die young or only reach the early or middle stages. A genius who stagnates is no different from one who has fallen from grace."

“You are different. In the future, you will become one of the strongest female ninjas in the ninja world, just like your sister.”

"At that time, you will be your sister's right-hand man, her most capable assistant."

"This is the legendary Fourth Hokage's signature ninjutsu, the strongest space-time ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique. The number of people who have mastered it can be counted on two hands."

"Only a super genius can master you, and without a doubt, you are a super genius, one in ten thousand."

"..." Hanabi.

Chapter 68 Hinata: I have a bad feeling

Taking the newly written Flying Thunder God technique from Naruto, Hanabi asked suspiciously, "Is this really as powerful as you say?"

“If you don’t believe me, go ask your father. If he shakes his head, come back and cut my head off,” Naruto said.

"Big head or small head?" Hanabi asked.

Before Naruto could respond, Hanabi stuck out her tongue and ran into the bedroom with a grin.

"..." Naruto.

As expected of the ninja world, this kid is incredibly precocious.

In the bedroom.

Hanabi lay on the soft bed, casually flipping through the black and white pages.

A clear memory, almost photographic; once seen, it's practically memorized.

Those cultivation parts are obscure and difficult to understand.

Its purpose is simple and easy to understand.

"So this is spacetime. I remember my father once explained it to me. It is one of the most mysterious categories in the ninja world, and its difficulty is extraordinary."

"How could a penniless brother-in-law have something like this? It can't be fake, unless he doesn't want to marry my sister."

"It seems that even if it's fake, it won't stop my sister from marrying him. As long as we say it's a joke, my sister will still be on his side."

Thinking of this, Hanabi sighed, but quickly cheered up again.

It's okay. Although she can't compare to her brother-in-law, she is still her sister's most beloved younger sister.

Moreover, my brother-in-law is a good person. He even gave her important S-rank ninjutsu like Space-Time Ninjutsu and Flying Thunder God.

Simply because she felt bored and had nothing to do.

Thinking about it this way made me feel much better.

"A super genius? You have good taste. Let me show you just how terrifying a hardworking super genius can be."

"S-rank ninjutsu, ha, watch me master it in a week."

Hanabi was full of confidence, had the right attitude, and studied very diligently.

It's noon.

"Brother-in-law, I want to go home for a visit," Hanabi said after dinner.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

"There's a lot of information on this that I don't understand or can't comprehend," Hanabi said, pulling out a sheet of paper containing information about the Flying Thunder God technique.

"I want to go back and talk to my father, and ask him to collect and prepare books on the relevant knowledge for me."

"Okay, I'll wash the pot and then take you home," Naruto said.

Seeing that Naruto showed no unusual reaction, Hanabi reminded him, "It's for Father to see. If Father finds out, it will become our family's property. Is that alright?"

"It doesn't matter if you publish it in the newspaper and let the whole ninja world know," Naruto said.
