Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Uchiha Izuna: Hahaha~ As expected of my good adopted daughter!

Uchiha Izuna: That kid will definitely be provoked by you!

Uchiha Izuna: Nara clan brat, if you "accidentally" climb a tree in front of that arrogant kid, he'll come running to you with a long face, wanting to join you.

Nara Shikamaru: "Lord Izuna... that's me in the black-framed world."

Ino Yamanaka: "I think Shikamaru in the black-framed world would do the same."

Choji Akimichi: "Agreed."

Temari: "Agreed."

......

The kids started playing a word-chain game.

Shikamaru sighed and looked up at the large black-framed screen. Seeing his own expression, he knew that in the black-framed world, he would actually do the same thing.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome."

boom--

Sasuke's pretty face flushed slightly as he slammed his fist on the table.

"How could I possibly fall for something so easy?"

"Provocation won't work on me!"

Winter is almost over, but snowflakes are still falling from the sky above Konoha.

After getting dressed, Naruto went downstairs.

The neighbors have all moved out.

Naruto didn't believe that the old man trusted him so much.

[It's highly likely they've been sent to the vicinity of the Uchiha clan's new clan territory.]

During this period, Naruto also saw members of the Konoha Police Force on the streets, but their enforcement seemed to be more brutal and direct than before.

[Because the Konoha Guards, specifically the Uchiha clan, were drawing fire.]

[If Naruto goes out now, unless he deliberately shouts something to attract the attention of those idiots, basically no one will notice him.]

Perhaps, in their eyes, the little fox demon, having not been out 'causing trouble' in so long, has probably already died somewhere in this winter.

Naruto's purpose in coming out this time is to go to Ichiraku Ramen.

It's been a while since I last went.

[I'll ask Sister Changpu to buy some vegetable seeds so we can plant them as soon as spring arrives.]

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"You're not actually a daughter of the Hyuga family, are you?!"

"If that's the case, then show us your eye roll!"

The trees that once stood there are now completely bare.

[Snow absorbs sound, so theoretically people on the street shouldn't be able to hear it, but Naruto's hearing is exceptionally good, and his sensory abilities far surpass those of his peers.]

He originally didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

However, when he sensed some familiar chakra and heard the name "Hyuga," he stopped in his tracks.

"Hinata?"

A quick glance from afar revealed three older children confronting a little girl with short black hair.

"Chakra... huh?!"

Naruto suddenly paused, startled.

Hinata gave him a very strong feeling!

Is it because of Hinata's special circumstances?

Hinata has more chakra than Choji!

Thinking this, Naruto walked in that direction.

"If you're not going to roll your eyes at us, then don't look this way!"

"Those eyes are so creepy!"

"What's the difference between them and monsters?"

"A white-eyed monster!"

Kushina Uzumaki: "That's too much!!"

Kushina Uzumaki: "How dare they bully my Hinata! Naruto! Go! Crush those wretched brats!"

Ino blinked.

"Hinata, why is it that every time you appear, Naruto with his black-rimmed glasses has to come to your rescue?"

Hinata's pretty face turned bright red.

"No...I don't know...but I don't seem to have any memory of it..."

"Really?" Sakura looked at Hinata with suspicion.

Hinata simply covered her face and refused to answer.

The more you say, the easier it is to reveal your flaws.

"Those wretched guys, sister, teach them a lesson!"

"How dare you call my sister a monster with white eyes!"

Little Fireworks was so angry that she kept waving her little fists.

Tian Tian: "I'm so envious~ When will I get my turn to appear?"

Kiba Inuzuka: "Yeah, I really want to be in the picture too!"

Aburame Shino: "I..."

Shino said a lot, but no one paid any attention to him.

Rock Lee: "By this time, I must have already met Mr. Kai!"

Matt Kay: "Lee!!!"

Rock Lee: "Teacher Kai!"

Kiba Inuzuka: "I request that they both be muted for an hour!"

drop--

Kiba Inuzuka is muted for one hour.

Lee Rock was muted for one hour.

Matt Kai was muted for one hour.

【"White-eyed monster, white-eyed monster~"】

Three older children surrounded Hinata, repeatedly chanting "Byakugan demon."

Hmm~

Hinata gently bit her lower lip.

Finally, I couldn't resist.

[She sniffed through her nose, and her lips began to tremble.]

Her large, purplish-white eyes were misty with tears.

【"Ugh~!"】

Amidst the shouts of "Byakugan demon!", Hinata covered her face, crouched on the ground, and sobbed softly.

"Hahaha~!"

The three children, both adults and children, burst into laughter as they watched Hinata crouching on the ground crying.

Hinata kept crying, feeling extremely wronged.

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice rang in her ears.

"What are you doing here?"

"Lost again?"

She dared not look up, afraid that the three children, both big and small, would again call her an eye-rolling monster.

However, upon hearing "lost again," she couldn't help but look up and peek.

Then, he saw a short, blond-haired boy, almost as tall as the three older kids, looking at him.

A faint, reassuring smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.

【Naruto... Naruto-kun...】

The blond-haired boy in front of her gradually overlapped with the image of that special blond-haired boy from Hinata's memories.

"Hey! Who are you?!"

"Wait, isn't this the fox demon that Mom and Dad were talking about?!"

"That damned fox demon! She made my parents so heartbroken!"

"It seems the fox demon knows the white-eyed demon?"

"That's perfect, let's go to hell together!"

"Fox spirit~! Fox spirit~!"

"White-eyed monster~ White-eyed monster~!"

These three big kids started "singing" again.

Naruto glanced indifferently at the fattest kid in the lead.

"Oh?"

"You want to fight, huh?!"

The other two rushed forward, trying to grab Naruto.

【boom! 】

To their surprise, Naruto wasn't scared away. Instead of retreating, he advanced, stepping past them and punching his boss squarely in the nose.

【puff--】

"Who do you think you're dealing with?"

"I'm the future Hokage."

Naruto turned around and smiled slightly at the two terrified older children.

He said that on purpose.

Even if the old man finds out later, he'll have a reason.

Besides, he thought the old man would be overjoyed if he knew he said that when he hit them.

"A monster...!"

One of the older children was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.

[They knocked their leader down with a single punch.]

Blood kept gushing from their nose, and upon closer inspection, you could even see their leader's knocked-out front tooth lying in the snow.

【Bang--】

[No surprises.]

[Naruto went up and punched each of them.]

Both of them were also knocked to the ground.

[Her nose is bleeding continuously.]

"Stop playing dead, or you'll freeze to death in the snow."

【"Ah~!!!" x3】

[The three older kids were each kicked by Naruto, and they quickly got up and ran away.]

"Wait a minute." Just as the chubby boy was about to walk past Naruto, Naruto stopped him.

"What...what are you going to do..." the chubby boy trembled with fear.

However, Naruto simply grabbed him and wiped the blood from his hands on his clothes.

"Get lost."

The chubby boy breathed a sigh of relief, covered his still-bleeding nose, and ran away.

Taking them down will only take a few breaths.

Naruto wasn't proud of this, because he knew that his strength wasn't enough to take revenge on the village.

"Haven't you cried enough?" Naruto reached out his hand.

Hinata stood there, stunned.

These familiar words, this familiar scene...

【"Um!"】

Hinata nodded emphatically.

【"Waaaaah~"】

[He took Naruto's hand and stood up.]

Looking at that increasingly familiar smile, Hinata felt a lump in her throat.

Then she burst into tears.

Naruto: "..."
