Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 550 Neji: I'm going to kill him!

If Mitokado Homura hadn't handed over the position of governor of the Land of Whirlpools to Namikaze Minato, Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't have come into the sights of the ninja clans within Konoha's inner city.

After all, not everyone is a member of the Nara clan.

Moreover, strictly speaking, Shikamaru was actually the only member of the Nara clan who got along well with Naruto.

After all, not everyone likes to let someone who skips class or school all the time lead their child astray.

However, with Minato Namikaze going to take up a post in the Land of Whirlpools, Naruto naturally came into the view of some people.

The governor of the Land of Whirlpools could not stay in office for long. Putting aside everything else, none of the ninja clans in Konoha's inner city had heard of any new arrangements for Yua as the head of the Anbu.

If that's the case, then don't these people understand what "Yo-ya" means?

It's impossible to compare whether the position of the head of the Dark Bureau or the governor of the Land of Whirlpools is higher.

After all, the governor of Whirlpool Country is like an emperor emeritus in Whirlpool Country, and can do whatever he wants.

The head of the Anbu is directly under the Hokage of Konoha.

The differences between the two cannot actually be determined by direct comparison.

Some might say, "Wouldn't it be better to be the governor of Whirlpool Country? Why not just become the retired emperor?"

That can only be described as superficial.

You can become the governor of the Land of Whirlpools for a while, but if you want to stay in that position forever, then the power center of Konoha will have nothing to do with you.

The power center of Konoha Village can be said to be the very center of the entire world right now.

It's somewhat like the idea that you traveled to a beautiful country in your past life:

The center of the earth is America, the center of America is capitalists, and the center of capitalists is Silicon Valley.

Of course, things change over time. Before Youya's time travel, Silicon Valley in the United States, if not detached from the center of the world, had certainly lost its symbolic significance of transcendence.

However, it's also possible that people have simply glorified those capitalists.

The essence of capital is circulation. If it stays in one place, it will inevitably leave once it has been squeezed dry.

This is a characteristic of capital.

Well, anyway, the center of the ninja world is actually in Konoha.

Konoha's science and technology are the best in the ninja world, and its various research projects are also at the forefront of the world.

Although Orochimaru's side has started to slack off now—there's no way around it, even Orochimaru can't really be used like a beast of burden; he has to be given some space to rest.

The center of power is in Konoha, yet he dreams of becoming the governor of the Land of Whirlpools...

It's safe to say that anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn't think that way.

But...

You know what...

For a fleeting moment, Minato Namikaze actually considered settling down in the Land of Whirlpools.

I just thought about the elders of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools...

Minato Namikaze decided he shouldn't harm his son anymore.

My son is already mentally challenged; if he comes to the Land of Whirlpools, who knows what kind of trouble he'll get into.

So, Minato Namikaze planned to stay for a few years and then return to Konoha.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't leave the Land of Whirlpools.

For example, he'll definitely come back for next year's Chunin Exams.

After all, Naruto will be participating too.

What Minato Namikaze didn't know was that his son was now encountering a very strange situation.

Hokage's Office in Konoha Village:

Yuya looked at Nara Shikaku with a strange expression: "You mean, your son told Akimichi Choji about this, Akimichi Choji told Yamanaka Ino, Yamanaka Ino told Hyuga Hinata... so now the Hyuga clan is going crazy?"

Nara Shikaku shrugged: "That's roughly the idea."

You Ya thought for a moment and asked, "Did you omit something for me? Don't omit anything, just tell me, you brat!"

Nara Shikaku coughed and then explained some things to Yua.

That's exactly how it happened.

After all, Nara Shikaku didn't know what Hinata Hyuga did after learning the news; he only knew that the Hyuga clan was going crazy with worry.

Yuya stroked his chin. Hinata Hyuga would naturally feel sad and upset after learning that Naruto was going to marry Homura Mitokado's granddaughter.

So what if I'm sad and upset?

Are you saying that being sad and upset will turn your white eyes into Sharingan?

That's impossible.

After thinking about it, You Ya finally decided to give up on the idea and go directly to their door to ask.

So, Yua arrived at the Hyuga clan's residence.

After the Hyuga clan handed over all their clan lands to Yua, they basically only had these vast mansions left.

A mansion is not like the traditional courtyard houses of ancient Beijing.

The mansions here have front yards, backyards, and even artificial hills, and are quite large.

Yuya only refrained from making things difficult for the Hyuga clan because they had handed over all the other lands.

Don't doubt it, if Youya wants to target someone, there's absolutely a reason.

However, the Hyuga clan and Yua have always had a very good working relationship...

Well, the cooperation between Yua and the ninja clans of Konoha has always been good.

Do you really think these Konoha ninja clans wholeheartedly support every decision Yua makes?

That's impossible; it doesn't make sense.

However, these ninja clans all understood that if they continued like this, they would still receive the benefits, perhaps just a little less than before.

But if they cause trouble and refuse to comply...

Then Youya will definitely not give them the opportunity to continue making money.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between these ninja clans and Yuya has always been based solely on self-interest.

However, Yuya is actually quite satisfied with this relationship.

He has always believed that only shared interests can bind people together.

Upon arriving at the Hinata residence, Yua was naturally invited inside.

Once inside, Yuya didn't waste any time and immediately learned about the recent events involving the Hyuga clan.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't hide it either; it was impossible to keep it a secret.

So, Yua understood why the Hyuga clan was so anxious. It wasn't that Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan was gone; something had changed.

But he had never seen this kind of change before!

Yuya then found Otsutsuki Toneri, who was playing games and watching TV series.

Hmm, this thing has been getting rounder and rounder lately, and it's almost got a double chin. I can only say it's being spoiled.

Otsutsuki Toneri did not disappoint Yua.

He stated that the changes in Hinata were not entirely bad.

Youya: How so?

Otsutsuki Toneri told Yua that there is more than one direction for the evolution of the Byakugan.

Although she didn't know why Hinata Hyuga's eyes had evolved, since it was already a fact, she might as well slowly develop it.

Yuya thought it made sense, so he prepared to go find Hinata.

On his way to find Hinata, Yua saw Neji struggling and being held down by a group of people.

Neji was still yelling, "Let me go! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

You Ya shook his head. "Young man, so impetuous, tsk tsk."

Then Yuya saw Hinata.

Youya was completely dumbfounded at just one glance.

Because in Hinata's eyes...

Between those jet-black eyes were deep blue eyes, like jewels...
