Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 657 Konoha's 70 Years and the New Generation

Shisui's ability to win the first round of the election by such a large margin is related to his consistent style of taking office over the years.

Shizumi is the type of person who won't make any mistakes during his tenure.

Therefore, some people who didn't know who Shisui was, upon seeing his name on the list of Hokage candidates, went online to search and exclaimed, "Wow, I can't believe I found him? Look at his resume, what kind of resume does he have to be a Hokage candidate?"

Then I checked and wow, he'd been an official for over ten years?

Upon further examination of his performance, it was found that his annual evaluations were generally above A, which is quite remarkable.

The identities of all civil servants in Konoha Village can be found online.

However, since the entire Konoha Village, including its inner and outer cities, has a population of over ten million, with over ten thousand civil servants alone, the number is so enormous that no one would be so idle as to bother checking the information of each civil servant individually.

However, after Shisui became a candidate for Hokage, he was inevitably investigated.

Then Zhishui's resume will naturally be made public.

Over the past decade or so, Zhi Shui has risen from a lowly civil servant to where he is today, which is something he can be proud of.

But that's not enough.

For stopping water flow...

What he's doing now... isn't good enough.

That's not enough... make him a Hokage as respected as Yua.

……

After the first referendum in Konoha Village concluded, the atmosphere within the Hyuga family was not somber.

because……

"Oh, Boruto, it's Grandpa! Grandpa's here!"

With his temples already turning gray, Hiashi Hyuga was holding a rattle drum and teasing a baby in a stroller.

That's right, Boruto was born.

Hinata waited on the side, looking embarrassed.

Naruto stared at Hiashi Hyuga, somewhat bewildered, finding it hard to believe that the person in front of him was actually Hiashi Hyuga…

Hinata Hanabi stood with her hands on her hips, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her father.

It has to be said that this was the first time she had ever met a father like this.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't care about the looks in his two daughters' eyes.

For him now, no matter how much he thinks of his daughter, nothing is more important than his precious grandson.

After a long while, when Hiashi Hyuga had finished teasing him, Boruto also let out a whimpering sound of hunger. Only then did Hiashi Hyuga finally feel satisfied and have someone take his precious grandson to drink milk powder.

"Hmph, you two, I'm not trying to be mean, but how can formula be as healthy as a mother's own breast milk?" Hiashi Hyuga looked at his daughter with a disappointed expression.

Hinata blushed and looked embarrassed.

At this point, Naruto had no choice but to step in and explain for his wife: "Well, Dad, it's not that Hinata doesn't want to, it's just that Hinata is too busy, often coming home late at night... so..."

Hiashi Hyuga rolled his eyes, snorted, and continued, "So that's why? So that's why Boruto is being starved? What's the point of all that busy work? He's still no match for that Uchiha kid Shisui!"

As she spoke, Hiashi Hyuga noticed Naruto's expression had softened slightly and said, "Naruto, don't defend Hinata. I know you already made me feel bad for withdrawing from the candidate list because of Hinata. Now Hinata is entrusting Boruto to your care, and you're so busy you can't even come home. You're in charge of cleaning the house and preparing meals. That brat is really..."

It's infuriating!

With that, Hiashi Hyuga looked at Hinata with a serious expression: "If my precious grandson becomes malnourished, you'll see how I deal with you!"

Hinata looked aggrieved; she felt like this was her fake father.

No, you didn't treat me like this when I was a child!

When I was a kid, you made Neji fight me every day. If I lost, you would say that I was disgracing the main family. How come you are so hypocritical now that it's Boruto's turn?

Boruto is my child, how could I not care? It's true, I can't leave him...

and……

Can't you have any conscience when you speak?! Look how fat Boruto is, and he's malnourished...

That's overnutrition...

However, Hinata dared not say these words aloud and could only keep them to herself.

What can you do if it's your own father?

Just bear with it.

That evening, Hiashi Hyuga held Boruto with a look of love and reluctance on his face.

Hinata, standing to the side, looked at her father with a dark expression: "Father, Boruto only went back today. If you want to see him, come to our house tomorrow..."

Hiashi Hyuga's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression as he looked at his daughter: "What tomorrow? Do you even know how long tomorrow will be?! If you ask me, Boruto should just stay here with us. You're rarely home anyway! Right? Look! Boruto smiled at me! He wants to stay here too! He wants to stay here too!"

My Boruto! My grandson!

In the end, Hiashi Hyuga was dragged back home by his wife, who pulled him by the ear.

Hinata patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and exchanged a glance with Hinata, and the two smiled at each other.

"Speaking of which, I've been quite busy lately. Because of the candidate thing, I'm now in charge of several areas... I haven't been home as much. You won't be upset with me, will you?" Hinata blushed and looked at Naruto beside her.

Naruto hugged Boruto and shook his head with a smile: "No, of course not. If you become Hokage, I will be proud of you. If you don't make it in the end, I will be there for you."

Hinata looked at her husband with emotion.

The two gazed at each other tenderly, and then...

"Wow!"

A loud cry instantly threw the two of them into a panic.

"Didn't I just breastfeed her?" Hinata asked, somewhat flustered.

"Yes, it must be that your diaper is wet. Let's go home! Go home!"

"Okay, okay..."

Today, Naruto's house is still in complete chaos...

The next day:

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki came to visit Naruto's house, hoping to see their beloved grandson.

"Wow! Every time I see Boruto, I can't help but want to kiss him a few times—he's so cute!"

Kushina Uzumaki lifted the chubby Boruto out of the stroller. Boruto wasn't afraid at all; his eyes darted around, and he looked very clever.

Minato Namikaze watched with a smile, feeling an immense warmth in his heart.

He was fascinated by this harmonious family atmosphere.

"Knock knock"

Hiashi Hyuga's voice came from outside the door: "Naruto, open the door, it's me, Boruto's grandfather."

Minato Namikaze hurriedly went to open the door.

Then I saw Hiashi Hyuga standing at the door carrying a bag of pig's trotters.

Minato Namikaze looked at Hiashi Hyuga with a completely bewildered expression: "Um, father-in-law, what's going on...?"

Hiashi Hyuga looked at Minato Namikaze and said with a smile, "Give Hinata some nourishment so she can properly feed Boruto."

Minato Namikaze looked embarrassed: "You, you're really too kind..."

They welcomed Hiashi Hyuga in, and then three middle-aged men in their forties surrounded Boruto, showering him with praise.

"He's so handsome, no wonder he's my grandson."

Hiashi Hyuga always has a very positive view of Boruto.

However, chubby babies are indeed very cute.

Minato Namikaze also praised with a smile: "This child has skin as white as his mother's; he'll definitely grow up to be a handsome man."

Hiashi Hyuga laughed heartily, "You flatter me, you flatter me, hahaha~"

Naruto and Hinata stood to the side, feeling completely superfluous...

Not long after, Hinata's phone alarm went off.

"Honey, I have to go to work."

Naruto nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of Boruto."

Hiashi Hyuga watched Hinata's figure with a deep, melancholy gaze.

Hinata decisively fled as fast as she could.

Hiashi Hyuga sighed, "What a misfortune for our family..."

Then he looked at Naruto and said earnestly, "You must be having a tough time, Naruto. Taking care of a child all by yourself must be very tiring..."

Naruto scratched his cheek, wanting to say that it wasn't actually that hard.

Seeing Hiashi Hyuga's expression, Naruto sighed and could only change the subject, saying, "You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? Shall I go and cook for you?"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Go on, go on, I'll have a few drinks with my father-in-law."

Naruto immediately got to work.

Afterwards, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Hiashi Hyuga chatted happily at the dinner table.

By noon, the old men finally left.

Naruto sat wearily on the sofa, watching Boruto rolling around happily on the carpet. Naruto couldn't help but chuckle softly, "You have it so easy~ You don't have to worry about anything else, you can just have fun every day."

With a sigh, Naruto lay down on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

……

A few months later:

In the second round of voting, Hinata won back a point, successfully defeating Shisui with a total vote ratio of 6:4.

There are many reasons why this situation occurs.

First of all, Hinata is a woman, and women are not a minority in Konoha Village.

Secondly, Hinata never publicly promotes her female identity, and at the same time, she suppresses some outrageous cases related to women in the village.

For example, a woman swindled millions of dollars through several marriage scams. The specific operation was to have a quick marriage and divorce, and then divide the family property. If you really want to talk about it, this behavior is not actually illegal.

After all, this woman was scheming. She deliberately angered her husband after marriage, and then let him hit her. If he didn't hit her, he could at least verbally abuse her. In this way, she would have evidence that she was being "violently abused."

The first few people who were scammed could only grit their teeth and swallow their bitterness.

However, this guy's recent target, in a fit of anger, filed a lawsuit against her, even though she was accused of domestic violence.

After receiving the relevant information, Hinata immediately ordered the woman to be arrested.

This behavior is a big plus for both men and women.

The woman was arrested on charges of serious fraud, although the unfortunate man who sued her was also imprisoned for domestic violence.

However, considering the practical circumstances, Hinata granted a sentence of one year imprisonment, suspended for one year.

This verdict brought Hinata immense prestige.

In fact, Shisui's side had encountered similar situations before, and their approach was similar to Hinata's. However, since Hinata was a woman, such a judgment was particularly commendable.

Of course, Hinata's actions did not go unchallenged.

Some women launched an online attack against Hinata.

However, there are more normal people in this world, so more people will support Hinata in the face of this so-called condemnation.

This led to Hinata's reputation increasing significantly during this period.

Originally a woman, Hinata should have been at a disadvantage in her duel with Shisui.

After all, the first three Hokage of Konoha were predominantly men.

This gave most people in the village a subconscious fondness for Zhishui.

Moreover, the water-stopping mechanism is indeed quite good, so if this incident hadn't happened, the water-stopping mechanism should have been very stable.

Unfortunately, reality is always full of surprises.

With the second round concluded, Hinata still has the possibility of making a comeback in the final round.

How did the Uchiha clan react to the results of this second round?

Ok……

There was no reaction.

Ordinary Uchiha clan members said: It would be best if Shisui could participate, but it's okay if he can't.

In any case, the Uchiha clan's territory has now been incorporated into the inner city of Konoha Village, and the Uchiha clan members have all integrated into the inner city of Konoha Village. Shisui's ability to go to Konoha Village doesn't necessarily mean that it will bring them any benefits.

The one who truly cared about this matter was the Uchiha clan head, namely Uchiha Fugaku.

However, Fugaku Uchiha has recently stopped caring about this matter.

What is he concerned about?

Konoha Hospital:

"Thump thump thump," Fugaku Uchiha's legs trembled nervously.

Beside him, Uchiha Mikoto looked nervously at the sign indicating the operating room.

Sasuke, standing beside them, remained remarkably calm.

Seeing his parents' expressions, Sasuke gently reassured them, "Mom and Dad, don't be so nervous. Sakura has always been very healthy, she'll be fine."

Seeing his son's state, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't hold back any longer and started yelling at Sasuke: "What do you mean no problem?! What have you been busy with all day long, you brat!"

You've always wanted to be like Naruto, haven't you?! Look how well Naruto takes care of his child!

Look at yourself! Sakura's pregnant and about to give birth, and you're still out fooling around all day!

Sasuke stared blankly at Fugaku Uchiha, and couldn't help but protest, "Dad, didn't you tell me to go help my brother?!"

Previously, when Itachi Uchiha went on a mission, Izumi Uchiha and Haruna Uchiha went to the amusement park. Haruna accidentally fell down. Since Itachi Uchiha wasn't there, Sasuke, urged by Fugaku, went to take the child to the hospital and take care of her at the same time.

Then Sakura started giving birth too...

It was Fugaku and Mikoto who brought the child over.

That's how this scene came about.

"What?! I told you to go?! Yang Nai is fine, isn't she?! Why didn't you come back sooner?!" Fugaku Uchiha glared at Sasuke.

"Me!" Sasuke felt utterly wronged.

"Sakura!" Just then, Sakura's parents arrived.

"Father-in-law, how is Sakura?" Haruno and his wife looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was about to speak, the light went out with a "click".

A doctor came out.

Several people quickly surrounded them.

"Doctor? How is my daughter?"

"Where's the child? How is the child?!"
