Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Naruto decided to cook another batch of noodles.

Just then, there was a knock on the door in the hallway.

Naruto opened the door, and there was Hinata.

"Hinata, you've come at just the right time. We're eating noodles."

"Huh? Actually, I came here because..."

"Have you eaten? Let's talk about it after you finish eating."

Infected by his enthusiasm, Naruto couldn't wait to let more people taste his cooking skills, so he directly brought Hinata along.

Hinata wanted to say that she had come to discuss serious matters, but her stomach started growling, making her lower her head in embarrassment.

Is it okay to eat just a little bit first?

That was her original thought, but whether it was because she was too hungry or because Naruto's noodles were too delicious, Hinata unknowingly ate all the remaining noodles.

"I'm sorry... I was just too hungry..." Hinata suddenly felt embarrassed because everyone was looking at her.

"It's okay, I'll go make some more. When you're eating, you should eat your fill." After a brief moment of surprise, Naruto went to continue making the noodles.

Karin silently lowered her head: she had lost; she was the real "foodie."

And so Hinata finished the second bowl, the third bowl, the fourth bowl... until the thirteenth bowl before stopping.

And the reason she stopped wasn't because she was full, but because Naruto's family had run out of noodles.

"Hinata, are you still hungry?" Naruto was considering whether to let his shadow clone go and buy some more.

"No, I'm already full!" Hinata said, afraid of causing trouble for others, even though she was only six-tenths full.

Naruto then gave up.

Meanwhile, in the woods outside Naruto's house, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Sasuke, and the others who had been called over by Naruto that evening had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Jiraiya, I really shouldn't have listened to your advice to give the younger generation some space. Compared to that, the matter of succeeding as Hokage is clearly more important," Kakashi said with some resentment.

"Ahem, well..." Jiraiya was a little embarrassed. Could he say that he actually had zero experience in love and that all his judgments were based on novels? Of course not.

At this moment, Sasuke suddenly reminded him:

"They're out!"

Chapter 46 Hinata and the Hyuga Clan

At the entrance, Naruto said goodbye to each of them.

"See you tomorrow, Naruto." Ino waved goodbye to Naruto.

"Goodbye. By the way, Ino, about the payment we agreed on, I'll come find you another time when I have time. I really haven't had time lately." Naruto hadn't forgotten his promise.

Ino was overjoyed upon hearing this and gave the other girls a victorious look.

"Then it's settled."

"Yes, I always keep my word in my ninja way."

Sakura Haruno hesitated for a moment at the door, then waved to Naruto like Ino did: "Goodbye, Naruto."

"Okay, goodbye."

Sakura Haruno couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: Naruto doesn't call her Sakura anymore.

Karin didn't seem to care much about Ino's provocation, since she had simply stayed at Naruto's house under the pretext of having nowhere else to live.

Finally, there's Hinata.

Naruto saw her to the door, and neither of them spoke.

Seeing that Hinata didn't seem to have anything to say, Naruto took the initiative to say goodbye:

"Well then, goodbye, Hinata."

"Wait, Naruto-kun!" Hinata finally mustered up her courage.

Naruto turned around without any surprise.

After all, he had given the Hyuga clan a resounding slap in the face during the Chunin Exams, so it would be strange if Hinata didn't react.

"Well, actually, Neji had a big argument with many of the elders in the family at the hospital today, and many adults were involved, but Father didn't say a word."

"To be honest, I don't really know who to help."

Logically speaking, Naruto is the culprit behind all this, and Hinata should resent him.

But when Hinata examined her own heart, she found that she still loved Naruto, though her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Naruto then asked her another question: "Hinata, do you think the Caged Bird Seal and the system of the main family and branch family are correct?"

Hinata shook her head without hesitation: "I... have never felt any joy in being the head of the main family. On the contrary, because I am the eldest daughter of the main family, my father always had high expectations for me, but I really couldn't do what he expected."

"About the Caged Bird... Neji and I used to be able to play together, but ever since Neji was branded with the Caged Bird, we can't even communicate properly anymore."

"As for the issue of losing white eyes, on the one hand, this cannot be used as a reason for the main family to pressure the branch family."

"On the other hand, I know that Naruto-kun already has a solution."

"Therefore, I also support Naruto-kun abolishing the Caged Bird Seal."

Naruto smiled with satisfaction.

It's really impressive that Hinata, as a direct beneficiary of the Caged Bird Sedan Chairs and the main family's separation system, can still offer such a perspective.

"That's well said, Hinata." Naruto patted Hinata's head.

Hinata's face turned red when she was touched, as if she was about to faint.

"However, there is one more thing."

"Hinata, do you want to inherit the position of head of the Hyuga clan? Of course, I don't necessarily mean now."

Upon hearing this, Hinata immediately shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"I can't do it, it's really not suitable for me, it's better to let Neji do it."

Seeing Hinata like this, Naruto couldn't help but think: Hinata really doesn't understand what it means to be the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family.

It doesn't really matter. Anyway, he's going to the Hyuga clan soon, and what happens after that is up to the Hyuga clan. Naruto isn't their babysitter.

At this point, Naruto scratched his cheek, looking a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, Hinata, I beat up your family."

Hinata shook her head: "I know Naruto-kun was doing it for justice, and they really went too far with the branch family members."

"And after my father woke up, he said he didn't blame Naruto-kun. In addition, he stopped stopping me from contacting you and even encouraged me to visit you more often."

Naruto said regretfully, "I'm going to be Hokage soon, so I definitely won't have time to visit you guys for at least a while."

Hinata raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.

"It's okay, because I know that becoming Hokage is Naruto-kun's dream, and his dream is about to come true. Naruto-kun should be happy."

"Indeed, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it yet."

"Okay, goodbye, Naruto-kun."

Goodbye, Hinata.

After Naruto returned to the house, Karin did not ask him how his conversation with Hinata had gone.

Karin didn't know much about the Hyuga clan, but in her opinion, all she needed to do was support Naruto.

Naruto entered the kitchen intending to clean up the dishes, but he saw someone who surprised him.

"How's it going with the girls? You've got the flair I had back in the day."

"Yo, Naruto. No, from now on I should call you the Fifth Hokage."

"Naruto, what's the story behind your statement that Kakashi's Sharingan is different from mine?"

Naruto stood there stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Really, why are you so late?"

At this moment, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Sasuke were sitting in the kitchen, looking as if they had been waiting for a long time.

“I know we’re going to get down to business soon, so before that, Naruto, please explain the Sharingan to me clearly.” Sasuke pressed on with this point.

"Sasuke, didn't I show you before? There really is no difference." Kakashi said with a hint of helplessness.

But Naruto refuted Kakashi's point of view: "No, there is indeed a difference. Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan is a level higher than Sasuke's, but I don't know why, it seems to be in a dormant state and has not been activated."

"Huh?" Kakashi was dumbfounded. He had used the Sharingan for so many years, how come he didn't know about this?

"A higher level?" Sasuke immediately thought of what Itachi Uchiha had said that night, the reason that allowed him to live.

The Mangekyou Sharingan...

Seeing that they had finished their conversation, Jiraiya coughed twice to signal everyone to get down to business.

"Naruto." He handed a document to Naruto.

"You should know yourself that although the old man personally appointed you as the fifth generation leader in front of everyone, we who are close to you naturally have no objections."

"However, the former high-ranking officials of Konoha might not think that way, especially Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura."

Naruto took the document and began to read it.

His expression turned cold after reading only two lines.

The reason is that everything recorded above is evidence of the crimes committed by these three high-ranking officials.

Abuse of power for personal gain, suppression of ninja clans, human experimentation...

The actions of these three individuals can only be described in one word: utterly despicable.

According to Konoha's laws, they would have to die dozens of times over.

"These three people... has nobody ever cared about them before?!"

Everyone remained silent.

Naruto grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration.
