Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 112 An Encounter

The barbecue restaurant owner looked at the three people who walked into the store.

The sorrow that had been tinged with the effects of the war vanished instantly.

His entire face was beaming with smiles.

"Please come in, all three of you!"

He quickly beckoned the three Gods of Wealth into the shop.

These days.

Even in the worst of times, we still have to make a living; making money is the priority.

"Boss, you've gained quite a bit of weight again."

Jin was the first to greet them.

The barbecue restaurant owner first checked to see if the white-haired guy was there.

Last time, I paid for the meal by washing the dishes.

The current market situation is not good.

"Don't worry, we have money today."

Jin patted the boss's belly, thinking, "No wonder he's from the Akimichi family."

This barbecue restaurant is backed by the Akimichi family.

Basically, any shops that are still open now are either backed by ninja clans or are simply affected by the economic impact of the war.

None of them can be started.

"Why would I worry about that?" The barbecue restaurant owner smiled.

This cannot be said out loud.

However, Uchiha Kin no longer cared about the boss's attitude.

He saw a sworn enemy.

Sparks flew as their eyes met.

"Here we go again," Yamanaka Inoichi slapped his forehead.

"Kin, let's all eat together, it's on me today," Akimichi Choza warmly invited.

"Thank you very much."

Jin was already seated.

"And my two teammates."

Jin pointed to the two people behind him who were dumbfounded. They couldn't even keep up with Jin's speed; it was like teleportation.

Come on, everyone, let's get together and make it lively.

Choza Akimichi didn't care; he had money from home, money he earned during the war, and a family discount card he had prepared.

We can still afford to hire a few people.

of course.

He was also aware that basic internal strength could increase his appetite.

I was mentally prepared.

"Sorry to bother you."

Minato Namikaze pulled Kushina Uzumaki to sit together.

The camera caught sight of a disheveled-looking boy with a ponytail, who was locked in a tense standoff with Uchiha Kin.

The two men's eyes clashed like thunder and fire.

"Ignore them, otherwise..."

Hai Yi fell silent.

I can't just say that.

They'll realize just how freakish their teammate is.

That's so impolite.

"Let's talk about you guys."

Hai turned his head away, not looking at his teammates who would affect the team's reputation, but instead looked at Minato Namikaze.

"I've heard of Minato Namikaze, the genius of the Iwagakure front, even in the Sunagakure front."

Although the battle records will not be published, those who manage and input the battle records into the ninja files are, after all, human beings.

Some rumors naturally reached the ears of some people with ulterior motives.

"Actually, I was just lucky to survive; I wouldn't dare call myself a genius."

Minato Namikaze modestly declined.

There were many times when I was in life-or-death situations, and I wouldn't have survived if I hadn't been lucky.

"What about me!? What about me!? Have you guys heard of me?" Kushina didn't hold back at all; she raised her hand to ask.

This made Yamanaka Inoichi hesitate.

"Minato Namikaze's teammates are quite famous, aren't they?"

There's absolutely no news about Minato Namikaze's teammates.

Kushina looked utterly defeated, her entire body turning ashen.

How could this be? How could no one know about the genius Kushina?

"This..." Haiyi was a little embarrassed.

"Ignore him." Jin had already started grilling the meat slices.

"How's it going on your Sand Village side? The Sand Village suffered a pretty crushing defeat."

White Fang almost wiped out Kazekage and Chiyo back then.

It was because White Fang couldn't control the slash he made that the two of them survived.

"It's a long story," Ding sighed.

"The Kazekage of Sunagakure has set his sights on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, and most of our troops dare not make any rash moves."

Don't be fooled by the fact that White Fang almost killed that Kazekage; he was the man who was genuinely known as the strongest Kazekage.

Not to be underestimated.

Tsunade dared not make a move and could only remain in a stalemate.

Surprisingly, the Sand Village front was the calmest among the various battlefields.

"When will the war end?" Shikaku chimed in.

They all fell silent. It was their first time participating in a war, and they had no idea how it would go.

Now, three villages are attacking Konoha.

Jin Ke also knew that there was another Yun Ninja who was eager to make a move.

"We're truly surrounded by enemies on all sides."

Jin sighed.

Several people felt a pang of sympathy.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group parted ways.

The three of them were planning to go to the training ground for their afternoon training session.

It's important to understand that this is only a temporary rest period for them.

In the event of a major conflict, they must be dispatched to the battlefield immediately.

"That's Hinata Kiyoshi, right?"

Kushina hesitated as she looked at the three people in the distance.

The distinctive Byakugan marks on their eyes indicate that they are all members of the Hyuga clan.

Leading the way were adult Hyuga clan members wearing green vests, while in the middle was a young man dressed in the air of a nobleman.

At the very back was a boy with his head down, holding various things.

Hinata Kiyoshi was a very proud person. His subservient manner made Kushina hesitate, but that face was indeed Hinata Kiyoshi's.

"It's an old tradition of the Hyuga clan; branch families are just servants of the main family." Jin shook his head.

"Is it a caged bird?" Minato Namikaze asked.

He was quite familiar with Hyuga Hizashi, so he naturally knew about the Hyuga family's branching ceremony.

Hyuga Hizashi's explanation is that the caged birds were meant to protect their people.

Why use the term "slave" in this context?

"But wasn't that there to protect the White Eyes?"

Minato Namikaze asked directly, stating that the Hyuga Kiyoshi he knew would never do something like this.

Unless absolutely necessary.

"No matter who it is, if they dare to bully my classmate, I will teach them a lesson."

Kushina was furious, but Minato Namikaze grabbed her sleeve and turned to see him shaking his head.

"If you rush in now, you'll hurt his pride even more."

Jin stood with his hands in his sleeves, watching the Hyuga clan members disappear into the distance.

"The original purpose of caged birds was probably for protection."

Jin also has his own understanding.

"But when the person who controls the caged bird discovers that the person who was planted with the caged bird cannot resist them, any positive meaning will be distorted."

Kind people are ultimately a minority.

After being passed down through generations, everything will become distorted beyond recognition.

Distorted protection turns into oppression, which naturally leads to hatred.

Birds that have always lived in cages naturally yearn for the freedom of the sky, no matter how dangerous it may be.

Because sometimes.

Dignity is more important than life.

They might still make the same choice as creating caged birds when the next generation faces danger in the future.

Then comes a cycle.

Those who can break free from bondage and those who create bondage are essentially from two different generations.

There is no possibility of them understanding each other.

Those who yearn for freedom are not afraid of danger; those who crave security would rather not have freedom.

This is a clash of ideologies.

"But without the process of reincarnation, there is no point in exploring it."

A smile appeared on Jin's face.

Now he can try to unravel it.

It's a caged bird.

Let the cycle of reincarnation continue.
