Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 635 Luring People In

Now that the target has been found, all the arrangements can proceed as planned.

However, the process needs to be changed.

We need to figure out a way to lure this monk, Jigen, to Konoha Village.

Regardless of whether Monk Jigen is a good person or a bad person, there is a member of the Otsutsuki clan lurking within him, and intelligence indicates that Otsutsuki Isshiki is secretly causing trouble for some organization called Kara.

Whether this organization has actually been created in this world or not is another matter, but this guy is definitely a potential threat.

No ruler would allow such a threat to exist within his territory.

Not to mention that Otsutsuki Isshiki's strength is definitely not weak.

So regardless of whether this guy has started causing trouble or not, it's definitely no problem to keep him under control.

Then, finding a way to lure him over shouldn't be a problem.

……

So, a week later:

As usual, Naruto went to Hinata's house and invited her on a date.

Hinata dressed up very elegantly and then ran out the door to meet Naruto.

All that remained was Hyuga Hiashi, his eyes blazing with fury, gritting his teeth as he watched Naruto's retreating figure.

Of course, Hiashi Hyuga was angry. Although Hinata's talent was not as good as Neji's, or even as good as her sister Hanabi's, Hinata's Byakugan evolved form was unique to her.

Without a doubt, Hinata is now the hope of the entire Hyuga clan.

And now, their hopes, their precious little cabbage, have been eaten by a pig!

Damn it! Naruto, you little brat! I'll get my hands on you one day!

Naruto, unaware that his future relationship with his father-in-law would be extremely strained, took Hinata for a stroll through the inner city of Konoha.

"Naruto-kun invited me out today... Do you have an account?" Hinata asked Naruto, blushing.

Naruto put his hands behind his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

Hinata looked at Naruto with a puzzled expression: "Eh? No, I hadn't thought about it? Then, why did you call me out here...?"

Naruto chuckled: "Anyway, it's definitely the right thing to do to call you out first."

Hinata stared at Naruto speechlessly.

This style of doing things—calling people out first and then deciding what to do—has to be said...

It has a Naruto vibe to it.

Hinata chuckled and shook her head, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hey, there seems to be something fun up ahead?" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and walked towards a group of people.

Hinata blushed even more as she watched Naruto take her hand, but she gripped his hand even tighter.

Even if you're shy...

Hinata didn't want to let go of Naruto's hand either.

Naruto pulled Hinata to a place where a crowd had gathered.

As soon as we arrived, we heard the sounds of Sanskrit.

Upon closer inspection, it was huge, with so many bald heads!

Well, it turns out to be several monks dressed in monastic robes sitting cross-legged on the ground chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Meanwhile, the onlookers clasped their hands together and whispered their wishes.

"I hope I become rich overnight, rich overnight..."

"I hope I can find a husband this year who is rich, handsome, and loves only me!"

"I hope my child will successfully pass the civil service exam this year and get a job!"

Naruto looked speechlessly at the people around him with their hands clasped together.

No, these people are reciting Buddhist scriptures, not prayer mantras. Are you really sure that making a wish will work?

Naruto hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together and said, "I hope that in the future I will be able to become the Hokage!"

Hinata: "..."

Didn't you just criticize others for believing in this?

However, seeing Naruto's serious expression, Hinata thought for a moment and then clasped her hands together in a prayer-like gesture. But because she was shy, she could only make a silent wish in her heart:

I hope Naruto-kun can continue to grow up happily, if... if...

If I could really get married to Naruto-kun...

Hinata's pretty face flushed bright red, all the way to the back of her ears. She immediately let go and cautiously looked at Naruto beside her.

Fortunately, Naruto was making a wish very sincerely.

A moment later, Naruto finally finished making his wish and looked at Hinata beside him. Naruto asked, "Hinata, aren't you going to make a wish?"

Hinata shook her head.

"Hmph, you actually believe in wishes that only children would make? You're so naive." An untimely voice rang out.

Naruto turned his head and glared fiercely at the person who had spoken.

When Naruto saw that the speaker was Sasuke, he composed himself and said, "What? It's you?"

Sasuke instantly became angry: "What do you mean 'me'? What's with that disappointed look on your face?!"

Naruto pursed his lips: "It doesn't mean anything. I just couldn't help but sigh that I still managed to run into someone I dislike here."

Sasuke clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together.

Just then, a calm and peaceful voice rang out from the side: "Sasuke, it's better to believe in something than not."

As he spoke, the person carrying a little girl walked over.

Naruto's eyes lit up immediately. It was Itachi!

Hinata watched Itachi holding their daughter with great interest, thinking: [Daughter...so cute~ If Naruto and I get married, and the result is...would I be able to have a girl too?!]

As she thought about it, Hinata's face turned red and steamy again.

Fortunately, those who know her here know that Hinata's personality doesn't really matter.

"Heh~ So you came here to make a wish after all, right?!" Naruto excitedly put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder.

Sasuke slapped Naruto's hand away expressionlessly: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm here for my niece."

Naruto walked up to Itachi and, after getting his permission, reached out and gently scratched Itachi's daughter, Hina's, face with his fingers.

As expected of a baby, it feels so good!

Sasuke was getting annoyed: "Hey! You! Did you even wash your hands?!"

Naruto was immediately embarrassed, but Itachi didn't care: "Yona is still young, so I brought her and Sasuke here to see if we can pray for blessings."

But unexpectedly, this place turned out to be occupied by several monks…

So what if they're monks? Monks can make wishes too...

Naruto nodded in agreement; he also felt that it was always strange for monks to chant Buddhist scriptures and then make wishes.

However, considering that he had done it himself, Naruto didn't have much to say.

The group chatted about Yang Nai for a while, and finally, when it was time to eat, they decided to go to a restaurant for a meal.

At this moment, several monks also began to take action.

Youya asked them to come to Konoha Village to hold a Buddhist chanting ceremony.

These people naturally couldn't refuse.

This is just a small test; there are still big scenes to come.

And the one who was leading these people...

It was the one known as Master Tzu-Hsien…

Bald monk...
