Hikaru Hokage

But it seems that the final effect is still the same?

Sure enough, my self-created ninjutsu is invincible!

Naruto couldn't help but think smugly and proudly.

"I really got you..."

After calming down for a while, Hino Hikaru finally deleted the scene of Naruto's seduction spell from his mind.

"Tell me, what ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

"Can you choose by yourself? Great!"

Naruto almost jumped with joy.

"Is there a ninjutsu that...doesn't require sealing, is powerful, and has a very high level, preferably higher than Sasuke's Fire Release Ninjutsu?"

"You're asking too much."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Whatever the teacher teaches will do."

Hearing that Hino Hikari seemed impatient, Naruto immediately stopped and became a good boy.

He finally got the opportunity to be taught by this powerful guy, and he was unwilling to let it go no matter what.

"Forget it, why don't you tell me what ninjutsu you know now?"

A genin who graduated at the age of 16 would know several types of Five Elements Escape Techniques, or slightly more advanced Taijutsu.

However, with Naruto's qualifications, he might have learned how to conch by this time...

"I……"

"What!? You said you only know how to transform and shadow clone?"

It's a miracle that this guy can graduate from the current strict ninja school.

"The level of the shadow clone is not low either..."

Although it is a bad ninjutsu.

Naruto muttered without confidence.

"Can't you?"

"No, you don't know much, so it's easier for me to teach you."

A powerful ninjutsu that doesn't require seals.

No need to think about it, this guy is here to learn Rasengan.

but……

I haven't practiced the Rasengan ninjutsu very much, can I teach him?

In the final analysis, it is better for Kakashi or Jiraiya to teach him this ninjutsu. I will teach him...

It always felt like there was a missing procedure to ask for Namikaze Minato's consent.

But Namikaze Minato is dead, and...

I never learned Rasengan from him at all.

My ability to learn Rasengan depends entirely on my own ability.

Well, the ability of a time traveler.

"It just so happens that there is an S-level one who wants to teach you a very powerful ninjutsu without the need for seals."

"really?"

Naruto clenched his fists with excitement on his face.

This Hino-sensei is such a good person.

"However, before I teach you this jutsu, you need to complete a test."

"What test?"

"It's very simple. You just need to do this and that... and you can also call your friends to help you during this test."

This Naruto has never even learned multiple shadow clones, which is really unreasonable.

Although I only plan to teach him the Rasengan, I can't make him too weak.

After thinking for a few seconds, Hino Hikaru thought of a way to add some atmosphere to tomorrow's Five Shadows meeting.

"Understood!"

Naruto patted his chest confidently.

He didn't seem to find the test Hino Hikaru gave him difficult at all.

-

"what!"

"Well……"

"The winner has been decided! The winner is Ms. Hanabi!"

The training facility of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hinata and Hanabi Hinata, two biological sisters, were sparring with each other using soft fists. Both of their fists were very fast.

But in terms of speed and decisiveness, Hinata is always a little slower than her sister.

It looked like he was taking care of his sister's body and didn't want to hurt the other party.

Hanabi, who was only 11 years old when she turned against Seki, didn't have so many worries.

She only wants to compete with the most powerful sister in her mind, and defeat this sister who always trains very hard and doesn't even have much time to play with her.

So that my sister can have more time to rest and stop being under so much pressure.

Therefore, today's impromptu but also very important competition ended with Hanabi's victory.

"elder sister?"

"I'm fine... Hanabi is really powerful, and she's getting stronger again..."

Hinata rubbed her somewhat red heart through her white training uniform.

Although this sister is a little younger, her qualifications and potential are much higher than hers.

Maybe it won't be long before he truly surpasses her in strength.

"Well, because I have always targeted my sister."

"as I?"

Hinata doesn't think she can be a target for her sister.

"It's useless to target her, you have to target Neji!"

The rise of Ningji, who has learned the moves that only the clan can learn with the help of his own power, has put Hinata and Hinashi under a lot of pressure recently.

Coupled with the weakness of the eldest daughter Hinata.

Many people in the clan have begun to talk about establishing Hanabi as the heir of the clan, and then asking Hinata to carve a caged bird into the family as soon as possible.

"Hinata, Rou Fist without a strong heart is not worthy of inheriting our clan! Moreover, since you have become a ninja, you have to be on your own, but now you are simply embarrassing our Hyuga clan! After a while..."

During this period, Hinata Hizashi has been under too much pressure and public opinion.

Especially when facing his younger brother.

They were carved as caged birds when they were born, and for his own selfish reasons, he had protected Hinata and Hanabi for so many years on the grounds that he was still considering the successor to the next head of the family.

It's also time to make a choice.

Also because Hinata became a ninja and continued to perform tasks outside the village, people in the clan also complained about it.

If something happens to Hinata outside, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan will be lost again.

There was no choice but to make a decision.

"After a while, you can go live with your branch family and take good care of yourself."

Sighing silently in his heart, Hinata Hizu still looked stern on the surface.

"Yes……"

Separated...

16-year-old Hinata is no longer the little girl who didn't understand anything when she was four or five years old and would be frightened to tears by the curse seal of the caged bird.

She knew exactly what separation meant.

He also understood the suffering that his cousin Neji had suffered.

No matter how nice it is.

The branch family... is also enslaved by the clan family.

But one of her and Hanabi must separate their families. This has been a rule of the clan for hundreds of thousands of years.

She couldn't stop it, and she didn't want to see the ugly caged bird mark carved on her lovely sister's forehead.

and so……

Let her come.

only……

The wonderful fate between him and Hino Hikari's eldest brother Qingge may also... cease to exist because of this.

I was not qualified to be with my eldest brother in the first place, but now that I have to be labeled as a caged bird, it becomes even more...

Thinking of the fate between Hikari and Hino, the older Hinata grows, the more wonderful and...romantic she feels.

He was saved by his elder brother when he was born. What a close fate this is.

Every time Hinata thinks of this incident, she can't help but feel an unusual sense of peace of mind welling up in her heart.

Then I couldn't help but recall with sweetness the relationship we had spent together for more than ten years.

just now...

The caged bird was like a cage trapping her in a dark valley.

Thinking of Hino Hikaru was so peaceful and sweet before, but now I feel so painful and desperate.

Although the cage hasn't really arrived yet, Hinata can already feel this feeling.

"I feel the same as Brother Neji, and I... finally realized it."

-

The next day.

The weather was calm and it was another sunny day.

"Now everyone is finally here."

Located in the largest conference room in Konoha Village, the belated Tsuchikage group and the young Raikage Darui from Kumogakure Village finally arrived in Konoha.

Terumi Mei, who was the first to come to Konoha, complained a little impatiently about the slowness of the Tsuchikage and Raikage.

However, only she knows whether she is really complaining.

Anyway...

Zabuza and Haku, the Mizukage guards standing behind Terumi Mei, both felt that their Mizukage-sama seemed to be living a very happy life in Konoha during this period.

They didn't stay at the mansion arranged for them by Konoha at night. They had to stay at the home of Tsunade, the Hokage.

"I met the jinchūriki who had his tailed beast stripped off on the road, so I came late!"

Onoki seemed a little angry.

However, Kurotsuchi and Chitu behind her looked calm.

Although the four-tailed and five-tailed jinchūriki have lost their tailed beasts, they are still alive after all.

And even without the tailed beasts, they are still at the Jonin level of combat power. Returning to the village safely at this time will also be a great help to the village's combat power.

Kurotsuchi felt that grandpa should think in a good direction.
