Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

To prevent Naruko from accusing him of freeloading, Zuoyue and Naruko had a dishwashing contest, with the one who washed the least dishes losing, and Kakashi acting as the referee.

Incidentally, this is their forty-second match, with Zuo Yue winning zero and losing forty-one.

Just as Ningxia was considering whether to write a letter to Tsunade to tell her that she was doing well in Konoha, Hyuga Hiashi, who was using crutches, and his wife suddenly showed up at the door.

"Thank you, miracle doctor!"

Hiashi was very agitated. After being sent flying by Hinata's palm strike, many past events flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

In the end, he finally realized that his daughter was a hidden genius!

How could this not make Hiashi Hyuga happy? After all, as long as Hinata demonstrates her abilities, she won't be forced to leave the family.

As a father, although he didn't talk much to Hinata, he cared about her a lot. The reason he was so strict was because he was angry at her lack of ambition and didn't want Hinata to be forced to leave the family.

"Um...aren't you getting a little too excited?"

Ningxia looked at Rizu, who was limping and had casts on his hands and legs, took him back to her clinic, and then cured him with a horse talisman.

After recovering, Rizu was amazed by Ningxia's medical skills, but quickly accepted reality—it was a miracle doctor!

Ningxia glanced at Rizu's wife and noticed that she seemed to have given birth two months ago.

The Japanese football team has to admire Ningxia's shrewdness; he did indeed have his second daughter two months ago...

Suddenly Rizu's expression turned ugly. Ningxia found it strange and pressed him for details, but all she got was an excuse about family matters.

They gave Ningxia ten million taels of silver as medical expenses and a token of gratitude, and then left in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, the Moonlight Clan also sent money for medical expenses, clearly indicating that Moonlight Gale had already felt better.

After this incident, Hiashi stopped restricting Hinata from going to Ningxia's house, and Hinata also mentioned that her father had been paying more attention to her lately, and that she was able to eat her fill every day.

As the New Year approached, Ningxia's home became lively again. First came Shisui, who was finally free from being the clan leader and had left everything to Itachi and Fugaku, and came over happily.

Next was Jiraiya. Because of the cruel treatment Danzo gave him, he didn't leave in the end. However, after the Third Hokage recovered, he started to become restless again.

However, he didn't stay. He gave Naruko some New Year's money and then went off to have fun.

Since there was no one at home, Xiyan continued to stay with Ningxia, as did Kakashi. Her selfies were like family photos, so there was no need for her to go home.

So the house was as lively as ever, and Anko even brought Red home, for the same reason as Kakashi.

Ningxia prepared a lot of delicious food for the girls. Although the group of people present plus a fox couldn't make up a complete set of parents, the lively atmosphere still made the girls very happy.

The most obvious example is Kakashi, who hangs out with Naruto and Satsuki every day, and he's no longer as depressed as he was at the beginning.

Hong and Hongdou drank a few cups of wine, and the two of them were already a little tipsy. They pushed and shoved each other to get closer to Ningxia.

Ningxia felt a little embarrassed by the teasing of the two beauties, so Xiyan took the initiative to lead the two drunkards back to their room.

The festival outside had already begun, so Ningxia decided to take the women out for a walk to relax.

Shisui had barely stepped out the door when he was taken back by the Uchiha clan elders to take charge of the situation. What clan leader would go to someone else's house for New Year's Eve dinner instead of staying in the clan's territory?

"I will definitely come back!!!"

Zhi Shui shouted unwillingly, while Ning Xia chuckled and waved goodbye to her.

Everyone was wearing yukatas at this time, and in the lively festival, Naruko was quickly attracted by all kinds of delicious food and fun activities.

Even after her name was cleared, she was still filled with fear, but she was also protected by the reputation of four generations of her family.

Especially now that rumors are circulating that if Konoha treats Naruto badly, the Fourth Hokage's spirit will return to seek revenge, no one dares to do anything to Naruto.

In a short while, Naruto disappeared. However, with her current strength, she could even challenge a Jonin, so Ningxia let her go.

Xi Yan had intended to take this opportunity to reveal some of her feelings to Ning Xia, but a familiar voice came from behind her—it was her classmate from the ninja academy.

"Sorry, I... I'll be back later. Please take care of it, Kakashi-senpai."

Xi Yan had a terrible headache, and of all times...

"How is it?"

With only the two of them remaining, Ningxia quietly inquired about Kakashi's condition. It turned out that the treatment was very effective; Kakashi, while not fully recovered, had at least returned to normal.

"Why...why are you helping me like this?"

Kakashi didn't answer, but instead questioned Ningxia. Before Ningxia could reply, he continued, "So...it's because of the teacher?"

"Yes... because you're Minato's student, I'm always worried about you."

Ningxia remained noncommittal. Despite his violent attitude towards Minato, the two had a very good relationship; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken care of Naruto despite the pressure.

"If I weren't the teacher's... um..."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Ningxia struck him hard. Although it didn't hurt her, it still made her a little sad.

"Idiot, do you really enjoy overthinking?"

Ningxia rolled her eyes at Kakashi, then grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd.

"I... can't stand seeing you like this, Kakashi. I can't persuade you to get out of this situation because I'm not qualified."

"But... if you're willing to try again, I'm willing to be your guide in your new life, even if there are some setbacks along the way, but... I believe in you."

May you never have to experience that sorrow again.

Ningxia and Kakashi went to a secluded spot and sincerely told her their hopes.

At this moment, Kakashi was trying to see something else in Ningxia's eyes, whether it was profit or greed, whatever.

But all she received in return was pure concern and tenderness.

"..."

Kakashi suddenly lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. Ningxia, on the other hand, wanted to let go of his hand and continue her conversation with Kakashi.

But suddenly Kakashi gripped his hand even tighter as he was about to pull away, looked up at Ningxia, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

"If... I were willing to start a new life, would you really stay by my side?"

This was the first time Kakashi had asked him this on his own initiative. Ningxia was taken aback for a moment, then readily agreed. No matter what, he would accompany Kakashi through this.

"..."

For the first time, Kakashi removed his mask in front of Ningxia, but before Ningxia could be amazed by Kakashi's appearance, she suddenly leaned in.

"?"

Unlike the last time when she was ambushed by Itachi, Ningxia did not feel any disgust or resistance this time. She just stared blankly at the white-haired beauty in front of her.

[I was forcibly kissed again?]

With a snap.

Fireworks burst in the night sky, illuminating the two embracing, like a passionate kiss between lovers.

After the blooming, everything returned to calm, leaving only the restless mingling of their breaths.

Whenever Ningxia tried to separate, Kakashi would hold her even tighter, as if saying, "Please don't leave, let this moment... just a little longer."
