Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 7 Nine-Tailed Fox: The Evil Human Imp!

root base.

A dark and gloomy place.

An ANBU ninja instantly appeared next to Danzo and whispered a report in his ear.

Danzo's expression changed, revealing shock. He hadn't expected to learn new information while searching for Hiruzen to become his Jinchuriki.

The Jinchuriki is actually a genius in medical ninjutsu, a promising second Tsunade!

Then we must hold onto it even more firmly in our own hands!

Danzo's lonely left eye gleamed sharply, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

As for Yakushi Nonou…

"Hmph, trying to escape?!"

"Once a Root ninja, always a Root member!"

……

Before leaving, Nono gave a few instructions and hurriedly went to the Hokage Building, leaving Naruto and Hinata alone.

"Let me take you home. What's your name?"

Even though he knew the other person's identity, Naruto still asked.

Hinata.

Hinata's face was flushed, and her two small, white hands nervously poked at each other with their index fingers.

Feeling the boy's presence so close to her, she felt weak in the knees and her head spinning.

This never happened when I practiced Gentle Fist with my older brother Neji...

But when she thought of Hyuga Neji, who had taken care of her like a brother since childhood, she felt a pang of sadness.

Over the past few years, they have inexplicably grown distant from me, as if a sad barrier had suddenly appeared between us.

For a moment, glistening little pearls welled up in her eyes.

Naruto cursed inwardly, thinking to himself that he was really in prison now, and his life was truly miserable.

He gently patted and rubbed Hinata's back with one hand, then reached out and lightly wiped the corner of Hinata's eye, saying softly, "Hinata is not a child anymore, yet she is still a crybaby."

Hinata's delicate earlobes and slender, fair neck were instantly flushed with a beautiful blush, and she felt hot and bothered.

From a young age, her father sternly warned her to maintain the proper etiquette and dignity of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and she knew that such intimate behavior with the opposite sex was a red line.

But Naruto's fingers seemed to possess a strange magic that calmed her mind and filled her heart with a warm current.

After sending Hinata to the Hyuga clan's territory, Naruto didn't plan to go any further, since he didn't want to be looked down upon by the Hyuga clan.

"Thank you so much this time, Naruto-kun."

Hinata, with her delicate white hands folded, bowed with impeccable manners, a sight to behold.

The Hyuga clan truly lives up to its reputation as a noble family in the ninja world; their rules are strict and their manners impeccable.

Naruto waved casually and left.

Hinata, her face flushed, gazed at Naruto's small, lonely figure until he disappeared from sight, then whispered, "Goodbye, Naruto-kun."

Naruto is such a kind and brave person. I wish I could be as strong as him.

Surely my father wouldn't be so harsh and disappointed in me for being so cowardly.

Naruto's appearance was like dawn quietly breaking across her dark horizon.

Suddenly, a gentle girl's voice rang out beside her, "Young lady, isn't Naruto-kun a truly outstanding boy?"

Hinata was startled and looked at Hyuga Natsu, who had suddenly appeared beside her in a white lace maid outfit. Her round, delicate face was flushed again.

"Sister Xia..."

Hinata Natsu smiled as she looked at Hinata's adorable appearance, but then sighed, thinking that all of this had already been decided by the clan leader.

As someone who had separated from the family, I was imprisoned like a caged bird, deprived of freedom my entire life, like a servant.

Even the eldest daughter of the head of a powerful family couldn't escape the cage-like fate controlled by others...

...

A house in the mountains, the entrance hall.

Yamanaka Ino supported herself with one hand at the entrance, her slender body slightly tilted, her cascading golden hair flowing freely.

With a gentle hook of her other delicate white hand at the heel, her pink toes were freed.

As Yamanaka Inoichi watched his daughter return home, a fatherly smile of relief spread across his face. Then, as if remembering something unpleasant, his expression froze, and his face became complicated.

"Ono, have you made any new friends lately?"

As Yamanaka Ino lightly slipped her fair, delicate soles into her indoor shoes, her plump, rosy toes, like those of a silkworm, stretched out.

Hearing his father's words, he paused for a moment, then replied cheerfully, "Ah~ Naruto-kun..."

Mentioning that name, Ino's pretty face flushed slightly, and she smiled brightly as she happily recounted what had happened when she first met Naruto.

Then his expression turned sour, and he complained, "Those villagers are going too far! We're all from the same village!"

"Naruto is just a pitiful orphan! How can they reject him like this! He's so pathetic!"

Seeing that her father remained silent, Ino was somewhat confused and asked, "Say something, Dad?"

Naruto!? Are you just calling him by his name now?

The latest novel is first published here!

Hearing his daughter's affectionate address to the other man, Yamanaka Inoichi's expression was complicated. "That kid also calls my daughter by her name, Ino?!"

What's most infuriating is that the kid is a blond-haired punk.

Shan Zhonghai thought of that little blond guy calling his beautiful, pretty daughter in such a sweet and cloying way, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings, his displeasure growing stronger.

As the head of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, he naturally knew Naruto's true identity. Moreover, he himself had once been a close subordinate of Minato Namikaze.

The Ino-Shika-Cho clan has always been loyal retainers of the Hokage.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the Hokage is; they just want to be loyal retainers of the Hokage.

Because of the ambiguous attitude of the Third Hokage and the higher-ups, he dared not interfere in any matters concerning Naruto.

This is a slide you absolutely mustn't touch!

It would be fine if my daughter were just friends and classmates with Naruto, but their relationship has gone further.

As the only daughter of the clan leader, Lady Yamanaka is very likely to convey the wrong message about the Yamanaka family taking sides.

Without the explicit instructions of the Third Hokage, the Yamanaka family actually dared to attempt to seize Konoha's Jinchūriki...

If it arouses the suspicion of the three generations of leaders and the higher-ups, then things will be very bad.

"Ino... you'd better stay away from that kid from now on, and don't get too close!"

Yamanaka Inoichi hesitated for a moment, but then spoke with a firm tone.

When Yamanaka Ino heard her father's words, she realized that her father usually doted on her and had almost never refused any of her requests.

At this moment, Ino pouted, intending to use her coquettishness to refute the refusal.

But the next moment, Ino looked at the other person's serious and earnest expression and understood that the other person was determined not to question her on this matter.

Her face froze, her heart felt like it had sunk to the bottom of a lake, she murmured twice but made no sound, and walked into the house sullenly.

Yamanaka Inoichi gazed wistfully at his daughter Ino's slender and petite figure and sighed.

I wonder what the Hokage really thinks about Jinchūriki...

Being a loyal retainer of the Hokage is incredibly difficult for him.

……

"I'm back!"

He opened the door and greeted the empty, cramped apartment.

Naruto lay on the sofa, gazing at the familiar, simple living room around him. He closed his eyes, his heart sinking.

In the dim, damp, and cold enclosed space, the sound of dripping water echoed incessantly.

Naruto stepped onto the damp underground sewer, and ripples spread outwards from his feet.

"I've come to see you again, Nine-Tailed Fox."

As soon as the voice fell, two enormous, lantern-like scarlet pupils suddenly lit up in the dark sky not far away.

"Evil human brat..."
