In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"No! I can still eat, but you definitely haven't...satisfied yet, right?" A certain yellow-haired man said, "Let's go! Let's eat somewhere else..."

"Don't force it." Hinata was really scared, tears were about to fall, and she almost begged him not to die, "Can we go back?"

"No!" Naruto said firmly.

Hinata was about to cry when she heard this, tears welling up in her eyes. She had just acted on impulse today and wanted to talk to Naruto about her troubles, not to visit his grave!

"You don't have to go, unless..." Naruto turned around and said to Hinata, "Tell me what's bothering you, and I won't eat."

Wow, this guy is using the emperor to control the princes.

"Okay..." Hinata had no choice but to agree.

She felt worried, yet also a little like laughing and crying, as if no one except him could truly understand her thoughts. Hinata was just timid, not disliked talking.

Actually, it’s no big deal. Naruto has plenty of ways to make Hinata speak.

Seeing that he finally gave in, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

Konoha Street.

The two walked on a dim path on the back of the street. There was a dim street light every few dozen meters, and some of the lights were even broken.

Fortunately, this road only leads to a dead end, and the only remaining direction is the Hyuga base.

The Byakugan could ignore any darkness, and the more powerful ones could even clearly see any small stone on the road. Hinata could do it too, but she couldn't use the Byakugan at this time.

The two walked side by side, very slowly. Hinata spoke in a low voice, sporadically discussing her troubles. Naruto simply listened quietly, occasionally interrupting to ask a question.

Hinata's performance has always been tepid since she was a child. Even though she is the eldest princess of Hyuga, she has not made any achievements. Although she can't be said to be too bad, she is definitely not too good either.

It is not as good as the best but better than the worst, and the best refers to the Twelve Guardians of Konoha.

They are the elite among the elites of the new generation. Although they are still at the level of Genin, they are growing very rapidly and are just temporarily lacking in experience.

Time will make up for all shortcomings. Everyone in the lineage of the Third Hokage believes that they will become the backbone of Konoha in the future, except Sasuke.

Sasuke's defection is an irreversible fact and there is no point in it.

Naruto didn't know whether the micro-fragrant insects that the higher-ups had asked him to catch were of any use. He didn't care at all. That kind of thing couldn't escape Orochimaru's eyes.

In fact, among the Twelve Ninjas, although Naruto is lazy and doesn't do missions, his combat power is still recognized as the first tier.

Everyone knew that he was the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. Ever since the mission in River Country, Hyuga Neji no longer had any desire to compete with him.

Neji considers himself a genius, but he happens to run into a monster.

Who could be so cunning as to seize the opportunity and take away Black Hoe Lei Ya and the man on his back without any hesitation, like a ruthless task machine.

Hinata didn't know what mission Naruto had carried out, but she only knew that they were silent when they mentioned Naruto's strength. It seemed that they had excluded him from the list, just like...

There are mountains beyond mountains.

Hinata still believed in Naruto's words, whose power far surpassed hers by several mountains. After all, she didn't know if the path she was taking was the right one. Maybe, as Naruto said, she just needed to make some adjustments and there was no need to keep following Neji's path.

The troubles of people are never the same, and it is extremely difficult to empathize with each other.

Just like how, for Jiraiya, the most beautiful sound in the world is a woman's vaginal discharge, for Might Guy, the most beautiful sound in the world is undoubtedly the crisp sound of his body as his strength reaches a new level.

But for a certain yellow-haired guy, the most beautiful sound in the world is just a dull and crisp "ding"! Just like now.

【Ding! 】

[Option 1: Protect Fenghua Xiaoxue and travel to the Snow Country to overthrow the tyranny of the Snow Country. Reward: Wind Style Rasenshuriken.]

[Option 6: Threaten Fenghua Xiaoxue to hand over the geothermal generator and force the people of the Snow Country to pay taxes. Reward: Max-level Flying Thunder God (Gift: Flying Thunder God Kunai that only the host can see).]

The panel had popped up, but Naruto still had no expression.

He was listening to Hinata's intermittent talk about new things, so he just closed the panel.

The timeline of the Yukihime Ninja Scrolls should have happened when Hashira defected, but it was shifted because Sasuke defected early?

Spring is indeed approaching. If Fenghua Xiaoxue were to come to the Land of Fire to film a movie, she would probably choose this time period.

Winter in the Fire Nation is short. A few rains melt the snow, and spring will soon arrive. The temperature will gradually rise, and in a blink of an eye, it will be another long summer.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t choose the option for now. Let’s see what’s going on with Tsunade first.

Since he had rejected the suggestion of training alone, he would most likely still have to complete the mission. However, based on Naruto's understanding of Tsunade, she would still delay the day of Team 7's reorganization.

Maybe this time it is a temporary team, but I don’t know whether he will be assigned to carry out the task as a temporary worker or as a temporary team.

But for a mission of this level, at least a Jonin would be sent along. Naruto didn't act rashly since the situation was unclear.

"Don't worry too much about what others think. Just do what you want." He said to Hinata at the right time, "I always think that Hinata, you are already very good. There is no need to be so anxious."

"There's still a lot of time, just take it slow."

Hinata was slightly stunned. At that moment, the night wind blew, and Naruto's scattered golden hair was blown up. She realized that in the past year, it seemed that Naruto had grown faster than her and was already a head taller than her.

His face has taken on the angles of a teenager, and his voice has become deeper.

"Okay." Hinata nodded, her face slightly hot, she exhaled a breath of white air, and finally smiled.

........

About ten days passed.

Tsunade summoned Naruto to the Hokage Building again, and Sakura was already waiting there. She gave him a pretentious wave, a greeting.

Tsunade, who was sitting in the Hokage's chair, coughed and said.

"A new mission has arrived. Mitarashi Anko will lead the team. Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto will form a three-person team to carry out this special mission."

Chapter 179 The Snow Country's Runaway Princess

"Lady Tsunade, you haven't mentioned any mission yet?" Sakura asked. She didn't seem to be abnormal.

"The actress Fujifuze Yukie, who protects Princess Fuun, is going to the Land of Snow to film a movie. I heard it's the final chapter of the new film series 'Furiumehime's Great Adventure', an A-rank mission."

Tsunade yawned absentmindedly, looking weak as she continued.

"The client is Fuji Fuyuki's agent. The remuneration is very substantial. Since the mission is not too dangerous, Konoha has accepted it."

Naruto knew she was drunk from drinking alcohol when he saw her condition, and was speechless. He thought to himself that this mission was dangerous, and the people from the Snow Country were just waiting for Fenghua Xiaoxue to come to them.

You can't just use a stage name and let people not recognize the former princess of the Snow Country, Fenghua Xiaoxue.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he was just fighting the people from the Snow Country alone, but he had to protect Fenghua Xiaoxue who was powerless, so the difficulty increased dramatically.

"Why is she the leading Jonin?" Naruto said with dissatisfaction, "Where is Kakashi-sensei? Shouldn't he be the one leading the team? And we only have two Genin."

Where's Kazi? Where's that big Kazi?

"Kakashi is busy carrying out a confidential mission and can't come back for the time being." Tsunade glanced at Naruto and said, "Mitarashi Anko is also an extremely outstanding jonin. You should have more trust in your senior."

"It's not that I don't trust you." Naruto understood the implication of Tsunade's words. Kakashi was gaining experience outside and was rushing towards the road of no return to become the successor of Hokage.

"It's just... Lady Tsunade, can you give me some equipment?" He hesitated for a long time before he could explain what he meant. Tsunade frowned.

Walk out of the Hokage building.

Sakura quickly caught up to Naruto, walking beside him with her hands behind her back, and asked with a smile.

"You seem worried about this mission? Do you know something?"

"No, I just don't want to deal with such a troublesome woman." Naruto said with a smile, "After all, she is a movie star, so she always has some personality."

"That's true," Sakura thought. "If it's too troublesome, I can just kill him secretly on the way."

Naruto:"???"

"I'm kidding." Sakura bumped him, "This is a protected object."

"You'd better!" Naruto glanced at Sakura with a complicated look, thinking that this woman was really dangerous, "But there are ways to deal with it."

"what is that?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Naruto said, looking straight ahead. After walking side by side for a while, he turned around and gave a reminder as if he suddenly remembered something.

"It must be very cold in the Snow Country. You should wear something warm."

"Now that you mention it, I remember it." Sakura added, "That Princess Fengyun seems to be very popular, almost to the point of being a household name."

"Is she that famous?" Naruto was full of confusion. He knew that Fenghua Xiaoxue was very famous, but he didn't know she was so well-known.

"Well, it's rare to see a girl with that kind of heroic face." Sakura said with a smile, "Well... I don't know how to put it, it's as if she really was a princess."

"Really?" He said perfunctorily, wondering if there was a possibility that she was the runaway princess of the Snow Kingdom.

The two stopped and arrived at the lounge on the first floor of the Hokage Building, where they were waiting for the team leader, Mitarashi Anko.

About half an hour later, a figure in a fishing net flashed into the lounge. Under the fishing net, Mitarashi Anko was still rich and generous in some ways, with a face full of collagen.

"Something happened," she said, pushing the door open. "Princess Fuuyun has disappeared in Konoha."

"Ok?"

"Princess Fengyun is missing?" Naruto frowned slightly. "That's not her real name. Seriously, should it be the woman with the long stage name?"

Sakura pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous. These two people were almost the same in their ability to ignore other people's names.

"Really? It's such a long name, it's hard to pronounce." Mitarashi Anko explained, "Even if we're calling someone on the streets, we could call them twice, but now we can only call them once because of this name."

"So, let's just call her Princess Fengyun. She played the role in the movie anyway."

"That does make some sense." Naruto stroked his chin and said, "Calling Fengyunji is also OK, and it's shorter that way."

"Such an ancient name will only appear on movie posters. It's too corny." Mitarashi Anko answered seriously.

Sakura simply sat aside and watched the two guys who, as soon as they met, ignored Princess Fengyun's disappearance and started discussing that her stage name was too long. She suddenly felt that this mission would not be easy.

Mitarashi Anko's immature performance in the second round of the Chunin Exam impressed everyone. Who would have thought that this particularly failed Jonin was the eldest disciple of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas.

Sakura didn't care about Princess Fengyun's life or death. She simply leaned her head on the table and stared at the two people who were discussing their stage names fiercely.

Until she heard the two of them start discussing what stage name would be more appropriate if they debuted in the future. Sakura knocked lightly on the table and cleared her throat.

"We should go find someone now."

"Yes! Find someone!" Mitarashi Anko immediately made an abstract decision, "Let's split up. I'll go ask Princess Fengyun's agent if he has any clues."

"I'll ask passers-by nearby. Princess Fengyun is so famous that she will be recognized wherever she goes." Sakura suggested.

"I'm going to the bathroom," Naruto said, raising his hand.

"Okay." Mitarashi Anko nodded, but immediately realized something was wrong, "No! You have to come with us, don't even think about slacking off."

"When I go to the bathroom, I'll ask someone to go into the women's room and look for it."

"You don't have to work so hard! Damn it!" Mitarashi Anko slapped Naruto on the head, "Go, come out and help us look for someone."

........

It is not an easy task for three people to search the whole village for a famous woman.

Naruto, who got nothing, gritted his teeth and asked Fenghua Xiaoxue's agent for a piece of clothing that Fenghua Xiaoxue had worn.

Mitarashi Anko was slightly stunned when she saw this. She didn't expect Naruto to be so outstanding.

"Kakashi taught you all the skills of the Summoning Ninja Dog? That's great." Anko said.

Amidst her praise, a yellow-haired guy put on the clothes, looked at Hongdou with a slightly puzzled look, and frowned.

"No, I'm just a little cold."

It was a chilly spring day, with a cold wind howling past. Mitarashi Anko stood on the street with a stiff expression.

Naruto shrugged indifferently and quickly formed hand seals.

"Transformation!"

With a bang, a flash of white smoke passed by, and Naruto turned into Fenghua Xiaoxue, and even turned around in front of Sakura and asked.

"Look like?"

"Like." Sakura said with a smile.

In the afternoon, in a quiet pub.

The curtain at the door was lifted, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly poured in, along with noisy sounds.

"What is there to look for? Let's go on a mission first. Isn't it just acting? I can do it too." Naruto was a little indignant. He now looked like Fenghua Xiaoxue.

"Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mitarashi Anko said, "Keep looking carefully! Also, how long are you going to hang around in that dress?"
