Chapter 263 The Matchmaker Who Carries Rice

After Hinata recovered from her injuries, she went to the training ground where Naruto used to train, and coincidentally, Naruto also arrived at that time.

[Naruto is incredibly eloquent when it comes to talking, but he's actually quite insecure.]

[During the final stage of the Chunin Exams, he also looked worried when facing Neji.]

Over the years, Hinata has received countless encouragements from Naruto, and now it's her turn to give Naruto encouragement in return.

Hinata: You will definitely win. Even if you fail, in my eyes you will be a proud loser. Although you are not perfect, it is precisely because of failure that you can stand up and face it bravely. That is true strength. Also, I think Naruto, you are a very amazing person.

After hearing Hinata's words, Naruto finally smiled with relief.

[Naruto: I've always thought you were a quiet and hesitant guy, but I really like people like you!]

"Hahaha, what's this? Turns out you're pretty good at flirting with girls."

Under the light screen, Kushina disregarded everyone else and began to laugh loudly.

He laughed while patting Naruto's back.

"Heh, I knew it. My son with Kushina couldn't possibly be that straight."

Minato Namikaze also smiled.

On the screen, Naruto's words were so well said, and even from Minato's perspective, his final smile was flawless.

"Uh, Mom and Dad, aren't you getting a little too excited?"

At this moment, Naruto seemed a little embarrassed.

The light screen showed so many things about Hinata and him, and Hinata blushing as she looked at him.

Even if Naruto was slow on the uptake, he eventually realized what was happening.

Hinata, it seems like she likes me?

But I like Sakura!

Thinking of Sakura, Naruto, with a surge of courage from who-knows-where, looked firmly at Kushina and said, "Mom, when I said I liked Hinata back then, it wasn't that kind of liking. The person I truly like is Sakura."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke muttered to himself, "...That idiot."

"I can only say, as expected of Naruto, the ninja with the greatest unpredictability."

Kakashi sighed as well.

The current situation is that Kushina clearly likes Hinata, but Naruto doesn't go along with Kushina's wishes and instead says he likes Sakura.

Don't forget, Sakura is still learning sealing techniques from Kushina.

"The traitor!"

As expected, Kushina got very angry upon hearing this and smacked Naruto on the head hard.

"Hinata is kind-hearted, gentle yet resilient. What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know, but the person I like is Sakura."

"you"

Seeing that Kushina was about to teach Naruto a lesson, Minato quickly pulled his wife away.

"Alright, Kushina, don't hurt Naruto's head. He was always like this, so let things take their course regarding the child. Maybe he'll change his mind after seeing Hinata's summary?"

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time for your father's sake."

Sitting in the chair, Naruto looked very aggrieved.

He only told his mother that he liked Sakura, so why did he get beaten by her?!

Can't figure it out.

However, precisely because he couldn't understand it, his expression became even more serious as he looked at the light screen.

[Hinata watched Naruto's match against Neji from the stands. She was extremely worried throughout, and in the end, her old injury flared up, causing her to faint.]

Thanks to the help of her kind senior, Kabuto from the Anbu, Hinata was unharmed.

It's a bit of a shame that Hinata didn't get to witness Naruto's impressive victory over Neji; she even managed to turn Neji into an ally.

After being exposed by Kotoamatsukami's mouth, Neji no longer hated Hinata; he simply evolved into a domineering brother-brother beast.

As for Hinata and Naruto's romantic relationship, it has been stagnant ever since they encouraged each other at the training grounds.

[This uploader suspects that Hinata's shy personality—she faints whenever she sees Naruto—makes it impossible for their relationship to develop.]

[Later, Naruto went on a two-and-a-half-year training trip with Jiraiya. When he returned and saw Hinata again, she fainted twice in one day, and Naruto was completely oblivious to why.]

Hinata practically has her love for Naruto written all over her face, yet he can't even see it. This uploader suspects that all of this idiot's intelligence is concentrated in Sasuke.

Sasuke: Tch~ What does this have to do with me?

If things continue like this, Naruto might never realize that Hinata likes him.

Fortunately, not long after, a man carrying rice appeared in Konoha, creating an opportunity for Hinata to confess her feelings.

[Nagato manipulated the Six Paths of Pain to invade Konoha, and finally unleashed a Super Shinra Tensei, razing Konoha to the ground.]

"No matter how many times I see it, this scene is always so breathtaking."

This wasn't the first time everyone had witnessed Nagato razing Konoha to the ground.

Every time they see it, they can't help but marvel at how powerful this technique is.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

While everyone else was still diligently forming hand seals and using the Five Elements Escape Techniques, the power of the Super Shinra Tensei was simply superhuman, far ahead of the current environment.

"Fortunately, we have Yahiko and Konan. Once Nagato is resurrected, he will be considered half a Konoha resident, and we won't have to worry about him unleashing a Super Shinra Tensei on the village anymore."

"I wonder what kind of expression the Fourth Raikage, A, will have when he finds out that Konoha has taken Nagato in."

"What other expression could it be?"

Looking at Orochimaru, who seemed to be having a good time, Jiraiya continued nonchalantly, "He's just threatening us to hand over Nagato, or else he'll do this or that. Do you think Konoha is afraid of him?"

Back then, he took advantage of the time when Minato was dead and Tsunade and I were out of the village to come and extort money from us. If he dares to provoke us again this time, then don't blame Konoha for starting a war.

Jiraiya spoke these words with complete confidence.

Currently, Konoha has ample high-end combat power, and its core strength ranks first among the five great ninja villages.

He's really not afraid to fight the Hidden Cloud Village.

Previously, he might have worried that if the two villages fought, many of Konoha's lower and middle-ranking ninjas would die.

However, after being thoroughly ravaged by Nagato, Kumogakure no longer had the resources to inflict significant damage on Konoha.

"Old man, what do you say?"

"Yes, I agree with you. If the Fourth Raikage still wants to resort to underhanded tactics, then Konoha will show him that times have changed!"

"What if Kumogakure joins forces with Iwagakure? Should we attack them both at once?"

Jiraiya glanced at Orochimaru, who had spoken, and calmly replied, "Unless Onoki has dementia, given the current state of Kumogakure, he would absolutely not join forces with them to deal with Konoha."

Orochimaru: "What if Onokimaru develops dementia?"

Jiraiya: "Then I'll send you, you cunning snake, to deal with Iwagakure!"

Orochimaru: "I'm not going."

Jiraiya: "If you don't go, I'll cut your research funding."

Orochimaru: "Look at what you're saying. Iwagakure definitely won't join forces with Kumogakure. I, Orochimaru, am saying this."

Jiraiya: "Shameless."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru immediately ripped off the skin on his face, revealing the face of an unfamiliar woman.

"I really am shameless."

Even with Orochimaru in this state, Jiraiya had no choice but to give him a thumbs up.

"You're awesome."
