Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Lying limp and motionless in the mud, Sakura felt utterly hopeless.

She truly couldn't have imagined that it wasn't just the Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue, but also the sealing technique that prevented her from telling others about Danzo.

Even the heart has a talisman on it!

So how is she supposed to kill Danzo?

Even if she possessed the power to kill Danzo, she still wouldn't be able to stand against him.

"Dad, mom."

"Naruto."

"Ino."

"Kakashi-sensei."

"Anyone, please help me."

Sakura thought helplessly, and choked out a sob.

"Tools don't cry," Danzo said expressionlessly, forming hand seals once more.

"Ahhh!"

~~~

East of Konoha Village.

9:20 PM.

Naruto carried a pile of luggage, while Hinata carried Hanabi, who had just taken a bath and was fast asleep, walking side by side on a deserted street.

"Naruto-kun, I... I don't actually need to eat that much," Hinata whispered.

"Father cares about the transformation of the white eyes. In order to increase the success rate, he told me to eat as much as I wanted. Generally speaking, eating a bowl of noodles is enough."

“How can they be the same?” Naruto said.

"If you're with me, would I let you go hungry? Eat without worry, I'll figure out the money. But speaking of which, where does all that food you eat go?"

"I...I don't know either," Hinata said, blushing slightly, embarrassed.

"I've looked at myself with disdain. Food goes into my stomach and is quickly digested and absorbed. No matter how much there is, it's never full, like a bottomless pit."

"It digests and absorbs very quickly, and no matter how much you take, it's never full. So, you don't need to go to the toilet... Hmm!" Naruto was stunned.

Hinata lowered her head and remained silent, her face growing increasingly red.

"Can you ever get enough to eat? You've never actually eaten your fill, have you?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I feel full, but it would take a lot, a lot of food," Hinata whispered.

"Is there a difference between being full and not being full?" Naruto asked.

"After eating my fill, I'll have the strength and energy," Hinata said softly.

Conversely, if you don't eat enough, you'll lack energy and spirit.

Naruto nodded and said solemnly, "I understand. From now on, don't worry about so much. Eat as much as you want. As your fiancé, I will definitely satisfy all your needs."

"Won't you think I'm weird? Like, a monster?" Hinata hesitated.

She completely opened herself up when she recognized Naruto and established a relationship with him.

Whether it's good or bad, she will not hold back anything Naruto wants to know or asks about.

Even though I say that, I still worry about how Naruto will see me.

"What's that? I'm the monster," Naruto said, amused.

"You're already mine, and I'm happy to accept you completely. I've also promised my father-in-law that I'll cherish you, so..."

"Give me a kiss here."

Hinata glanced at the sleeping Hanabi, and seeing that no one was around, she mustered her courage and kissed Naruto's left cheek...

I printed it.

Naruto turned his head: "And this side too."

Hinata, unable and unwilling to refuse, grants Naruto's request.

Chapter 95 Knowing

We chatted and laughed all the way, but of course, we were careful not to disturb Hanabi.

The three returned to Naruto's house.

Naruto put down his luggage and was about to take out his keys to open the door when a noise from his right rear made him pause and look to the side.

A figure emerged from behind the cover; it was Ino.

"Naruto, I have something to say to you privately," Ino said.

Naruto continued to fetch the key and opened the door: "It's so late, it's dangerous for a girl to be out alone. Go home quickly."

"Please, it'll be done soon." Ino.

"It's not a matter of speed. Let me put it this way: she, Hinata, is my fiancée," Naruto said. "We officially became a couple this afternoon, and our relationship has been approved and witnessed by our elders."

Ino stared blankly, her mouth slightly agape, at Hinata, who was standing quietly behind Naruto with Hanabi on her back, secretly watching her.

"You two... are you already engaged? Ha..." Ino took a deep breath, suppressing the many thoughts in her mind, looked at Naruto with complicated emotions, and smiled bitterly.

"You misunderstood. I'm not here to confess my feelings to you. Besides, you've already rejected me before. I'm here for something else, something very important, extremely important."

"For the sake of us being classmates and from the same village, please give me some time and listen to what I have to say."

Naruto thought for a moment, then said "Wait a moment," and gestured for Hinata to go inside. He followed her in and closed the door behind him.

Naruto left his luggage in the living room and went into the bedroom. Just then, Hinata gently placed Hanabi on the bed.

“It was probably before I first left the village on a mission that I learned from Sakura that Ino liked me and had a crush on me,” Naruto said.

"It was already very late then. I went to her house the next morning and replied to her."

"It's an honor to be liked by you, but I already have someone I like and I won't consider any other possibilities. I'm sorry."

This is how I replied to her.

"You heard what I just said, so what do you think? Do you agree to let me go or not? You don't need to say it out loud. If you nod, I'll go; if you shake your head, I won't go."

Shortly after, Naruto went out.

After speaking with Ino, he first frowned, then created ten shadow clones to stay behind and protect Hinata and Hanabi, just in case.

Then he followed Ino away.

"How could we possibly agree to that!"

Hinata, who was tidying up in the living room, was suddenly startled. She turned around and saw Hanabi, who should have been fast asleep, standing behind her.

Look at how energetic he is, there's not a trace of sleepiness in him.

"You're pretending to be asleep!" Hinata was surprised. Thinking about her actions on the way and her conversation with Naruto, which Hanabi had overheard, she felt both ashamed and angry.

"That's not important," Hanabi said. "What's important is how to prevent my brother-in-law from spending time alone with a girl who likes him!"

"It's alright." Hinata glared at Hanabi, then lowered her head to continue packing. "I believe in Naruto-kun."

"Believe me? It's easy to say, but don't you feel any sense of crisis? What if your brother-in-law is seeing someone else..." Hinata interrupted Hanabi.

"That's not a problem that can be solved by a sense of crisis."

"If Naruto really goes to find someone else, it can only prove that I am not charming enough to attract him, or that I am not gentle or considerate enough."

"You can't just shift the blame to others; you also have to look for the reasons within yourself."

"Yin Seal and Hundred Healings Technique. Naruto said that mastering these two techniques can keep you young forever. I also need to find time to learn how to cook."

"I will do my best to be the best I can, and the rest is up to Naruto to decide."

"Your brother-in-law asked for your opinion and gave you the choice. You have that right, so why not use it?" Hanabi muttered.

“I still think we can’t let my brother-in-law have the opportunity to be alone with other girls. He’s ours, and we can’t let other girls take advantage of him.”

“Respect is mutual,” Hinata said.

“Naruto asked for my opinion because he respects me. In other words, I should also respect him and give him my trust.”

"Why am I talking to you about this? It's already past 9:30. Go back to sleep."

"And what about you?" Hanabi.

"I'm waiting for Naruto-kun. He didn't eat much tonight. I'll see what's in the kitchen and try to make him a midnight snack," Hinata said.

"Why did you bring me here?" Naruto asked.

“You know perception techniques, now try to sense them,” Ino said.

For no apparent reason, Naruto rubbed his temples.

Thinking that he was already here, it wouldn't be right to turn back, he extracted a small amount of chakra, squatted down, and gently touched the ground with his index and middle fingers together.

His face immediately changed.

"How is it?" Ino asked.

"Why are there strangers in Sakura's bedroom? I get it! They're her relatives." Naruto.

"Hide well, don't come out, and watch carefully." After Ino finished speaking, she refined her chakra and exploded it from the soles of her feet, lightly leaping onto the roof.

With a few leaps, he arrived at the balcony outside Sakura's bedroom and knocked on the glass window.

Soon, the curtains were drawn back slightly, the window opened, and the person inside came out to meet and talk to Ino.

Naruto, who was hiding behind cover, suddenly widened his eyes.

Sakura!

He quickly used his chakra perception technique to sense it again.

wrong!
