In Konoha, Naruto lies down

He had no particular interest in population welfare and never worried about kiss murders.

"Why are you sleeping... sleeping here?" Hinata was no longer a little girl, and she wasn't so shy anymore. "I just woke up and didn't see you."

"Shouldn't you go home tonight? I remember your father seemed to be very concerned about the curfew. I didn't want to disturb your rest so I just lay here for a while." Naruto explained.

In reality, Naruto was worried that Hinata wouldn't be able to accept lying down with him openly afterward. Furthermore, Hinata couldn't stay overnight, and if this matter dragged on, it might leave some grudges in the future.

He was extremely careful with Hinata and Ino, and he considered every detail. He really cared about them, after all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

But since both sides are equally important, it's unlikely I'll have to choose one over the other. But I can't just say I want both, so I can only try to figure it out and get on board first.

"Well...I, I'm going to take a shower. I should be back soon." Hinata responded and walked quickly towards the bathroom as if escaping.

Seeing this, Naruto couldn't help but smile and said okay.

But before Hinata could reach the bathroom door, she suddenly remembered something and ran back. Naruto's eyelids twitched and he blinked at the terrifying scene.

But before Naruto could ask, Hinata pursed her lips and took the initiative to speak.

"You...next time..."

"Next time?" He didn't quite understand and looked up at Hinata who was holding her bathrobe. "What's wrong with next time?"

"...Next time, next time, don't sleep on the sofa. It's not good for your health." Hinata's eyes flickered and her face flushed. "Anyway, it's already like that."

"What kind?"

"you....."

The bathroom was filled with mist.

After washing up, Hinata dragged her slightly tired body to change her clothes, opened the bathroom door and prepared to say goodbye. However, when she opened the door, she found Naruto standing at the bathroom door.

She pursed her slightly red lips, revealing a soft curve.

"I...I want to go home."

"I'll take you there, and I also have something to say to you." He took Hinata's hand and said with a smile.

Hinata hummed, letting herself be led, lowering her head as she followed him out. She just felt the warmth wrapping around his hands, not having to think about anything, she could completely let go.

Being led by someone you can trust is a very relaxing thing. Looking at the moonlight filling the corridor, she suddenly felt that this was not bad.

"Hinata."

"Ah?" She didn't expect Naruto to call her suddenly, and when she looked up, she met Naruto's eyes.

Naruto had already stopped in the second-floor corridor outside the apartment. Silver moonlight streamed down, and Hinata raised her white eyes, as white as fresh snow, to glance at him.

"We will be together in the future, no matter what your father thinks. I have liked you for a long time, and I knew we would be together from a very long time ago."

"So don't worry, okay? I'll solve any problems."

"Okay." Hinata's eyes were covered with a layer of white mist, and the emotions that had been shrouding her for a whole day were finally resolved. Even though her eyes were wet, she still did not cry.

"I like you too, Naruto-kun, always have and always will. I will always, always, always like you." Her voice was trembling and excited.

She buried herself in Naruto's arms, hugging him tightly with all her might, as if doing so could keep him and allow them to live happily ever after.

Hinata asked uneasily as they walked hand in hand on a secluded path off Konoha's main street.

"Will this trip take long?"

"It won't be too long. The chance will come back in a few months at most." Naruto put one hand through Hinata's waist, feeling a little uneasy.

"But I will miss you." Hinata rarely acted coquettishly.

"Don't we have a communicator? Oh, no, for now we can only communicate within Konoha." He knocked his head and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"How about I go out later and stay with you?"

"No." Hinata shook her head and said stubbornly, "You should come back sooner. If you delay, it won't be good for you."

After thinking about it, he felt that this made sense, so he didn't refuse.

Outside the Hyuga base, Naruto finally took out a gift that had been prepared long ago from the pile of gifts in the sealed space. It was an anklet made of special chakra metal.

This guy just likes to give necklaces as gifts. It's not because of any strange hobby, but just to save trouble. After all, other people buy gifts based on the day, but he buys gifts and waits for the day.

Others would carefully select gifts when buying them, but he would just pack up the expensive ones and take them away in bulk, and then carefully choose which one to give in the sealed space.

He wasn't being perfunctory; he had also put in the effort to give the expensive gift an extra touch of emotion. This was Konoha's most affectionate act.

Having said that, he did put a lot of thought into Hinata and Ino. The current situation was the best solution he could think of for the time being.

It's so funny, the Shura field can't be blown up at all.

He left the village this time to teach these idlers in the Ninja World a lesson, to let them experience the dangers of the world. As long as the Ninja World was on fire, Konoha would naturally be unable to take care of itself.

Maybe it can also lure out Uchiha Obito and Kaguya's black aunt.

This time he wanted it all, ready to ask the world for some interest. Whether it was Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, or the Ōtsutsuki, all of them had to pay interest.

The next day.

Naruto woke up from his bed, still a little dazed.

As usual, he rested in bed for a while, thinking about what happened yesterday. Thinking that Hinata was already...it felt a little unreal.

But things have come to this point, there is no regret medicine. He has taken both Ino and Hinata, so he can only be more careful in the future and hope that he can hold on until that day.

With his thoughts in a tizzy, he decided to go out and ask Sakura about the experimental progress of the project, and get ready to leave almost tomorrow.

The longer the night, the more dreams there are. It is better to leave early and finish things one by one. After confirming that there will be no accidents, you will feel more at ease when you leave, without worrying about the consequences.

Naruto also wanted to stay in the village and lie down, but it would be fine if he could be carefree, but there were people outside who were thinking about him, so how could he lie down in peace?

If you don't solve the trouble, it will come to you sooner or later.

But when he came back from washing up and before he left the house, he found someone sitting on the sofa. Naruto recognized who it was from the back and was a little surprised.

"What brings you here? Why did you come all the way here to visit the former Ki Jinchuriki?"

"I have something to ask you." Mao Yue Xi Yan was not wearing the ragged clothes of the Anbu, but a casual uniform. "Do you think I like to look for you when I have nothing to do..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway, sniffed and asked.

"Why does this sofa smell weird?"

"Ahem." Naruto was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, this guy has a dog's nose, right? He can smell everything, this is... "There's no smell, you must be smelling it wrong."

"How could I smell it wrong? I just can't remember what it is." Mao Yue Xi Yan rolled her eyes at him, "It smells like some flower, forget it..."

She probably remembered something important, shook her head and looked at Naruto and asked.

"Is Danzo really dead?"

"Don't you know? The Anbu must be the first to confirm Danzo's death." Naruto was a little speechless, "Why are you asking me? It can't be that I killed him."

"Uchiha Sasuke?" Uzuki Yugao shook her head. "I just wanted to confirm with you whether Danzo is really dead. I've been scared all this time."

"Are you afraid of Danzo's revenge?" He raised his eyebrows.

"......Yes." Uzuki Yugao said hesitantly, and suddenly hugged her head, "You haven't joined the Anbu, so you don't know the style of those crazy people in the Root."

"Okay, okay, Danzo is dead, completely dead." Naruto gave the accurate answer.

"Thank you." Uzuki Yugao paused for a while, then suddenly straightened up. After calming down for a while, she left directly, leaving Naruto stunned.

"Fuck, you think I'm your therapist, don't you? And you're even taking advantage of me for free! Too much!" Naruto cursed inwardly, "I'll make you pay back with interest later."

After leaving home, Naruto went straight to the research room of Konoha Hospital.

Kurozakura was a practical person, and only spoke after being fed. After hearing her research progress in bits and pieces, Naruto had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

There was just a slight mishap, and Naruto suspected that Black Sakura was playing a trick on him. Pink Sakura briefly appeared at an inopportune moment, then looked terrified before disappearing again.

Naruto was startled, Pink Sakura almost rolled her eyes in fear, but Black Sakura was smiling as if nothing had happened. She didn't seem to mind at all, and after regaining control of her body, she started talking about other things.

"when are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hei Ying stopped talking, but her eyes became more focused. After a whole morning, when the sun was high in the sky, Ming Ren was able to leave.

He himself didn't feel anything unusual. He had never been afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight. Even if he fought alone for a whole day, he would still be full of energy the next day.

In the afternoon, Naruto was planning to look for Neji, but he saw Tenten outside the Hyuga base.

"Tenten, are you looking for Neji?" He greeted casually.

When he got closer, he found Tiantian standing in the shade by the road with a sad face. He was in a bad mood. He looked at him listlessly and then lowered his head.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"Ningji doesn't seem to want to see me. I've looked for him several times." Tenten squatted down, his small body huddled together, his eyes a little red and swollen, staring at the sunlight outside the shade of the tree.

"I can't get through the communicator, and I can't find him. Every time I ask, he says he's not there. I can only ask Xiao Li, but he's out on a mission."

Hearing this, Naruto immediately understood everything.

The Hyuga clan has always been exclusive, and Neji was a branch family. Even though he was known as a genius, he was a branch family with a higher ranking, and his status was higher than that of marginalized people.

But now the Hyuga clan has undergone a major change, and the barriers between the main and branch clans have been eliminated. Neji, known as a genius, has absolute prestige in the branch clans, and has the support of Hyuga Hiashi in the main clan.

It can be said that Neji's becoming the head of the Hyuga clan is a foregone conclusion. And he can finally use his own power to change the Hyuga clan.

Naruto also benefited from this, shortening the distance between him and Hinata. From being separated by the high Hyuga wall, to the current negative distance.

But where there are winners, there are losers. Neji is now only one step away from becoming the clan leader. This final step is marriage, to the daughter of the main family.

In this way, both the main family and the branch family will compromise. This move can also promote the relationship between the main family and the branch family, which will be of some help to Neji.

But no matter what, as the clan leader, Neji would not risk the disapproval of marrying a woman from another clan. This is extremely absurd and impossible.

No matter what Neji thought, he had to marry a woman from the main family or a branch family. Of course, the possibility of marrying a woman from the main family was greater.

After all, the main family resisted so fiercely, and guilt and anxiety also played a role. Now that there are no caged birds, they are afraid of future counterattacks and revenge from the branch family.

If Neji married the daughter of the main family, at least the main family would be more friendly and not as resistant as before.

So, Tiantian inexplicably lost a good companion.

It was so hard to fall in love, but it was a Waterloo. It was like before the battle of Ping'an County, Okamura Ningji fell to his death at the city gate.

Chapter 397 The power of the Raikage is unlimited, becoming the ancestor of the Cloud Hidden

"Ningji, he... should be busy, right?" Naruto said vaguely, not taking it too seriously. After all, Neji's marriage was a foregone conclusion.

When Tiantian heard him say this, her face became even more depressed.

"Naruto, you're here to see Neji, right? Can you...take me in?"

The shade of the trees shone, and Naruto was stunned for a moment, then he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"Okay!"

What does the fire in Neji's backyard have to do with him? Uzumaki Naruto is a well-known honest man, and he has a good relationship with Tenten and others.

"Come with me in, I'll find someone..." Naruto took a look and saw no one except Tenten who was wearing a jumpsuit.

"Forget it, let's just climb over the wall and go in." he said.

"Climb over the wall?" Tiantian was startled. Although she was a little depressed, her mind was still clear.

If I can't get into the Hyuga family's front door, then I can't get in. What's the point of climbing over the wall? If someone sees me and spreads the news, then... I'll be a human being.

"It's not convenient to go in here without seeing anyone I know." Naruto explained, and turned to urge Tenten in a low voice, "Why are you still standing there? Follow me."

“It will be convenient once I get in. The people inside know me, so nothing will happen.

Tenten was at a loss for a moment and could only follow Naruto's lead. Both of them were at the level of a jonin, so climbing over a wall was as easy as eating or drinking water.

He flipped in cleanly and landed smoothly.

"Let's go." Naruto acted as if nothing had happened, as if he was entering his own yard, which scared Tiantian quite a bit.

She knew very well that the Hyuga clan was always xenophobic, and even if they didn't show it normally, it was just that. In fact, the Hyuga garrison didn't allow outsiders to enter at all.

Unless... unless permission is obtained. But Tiantian didn't think that if she wanted to find Neji, she would be allowed in by the Hyuga clan.

But seeing Naruto... this is completely forcing his way in. What if he encounters the Hyuga clan? If he is stopped on the spot and questioned, wouldn't he be doomed?

"Naruto, that..." Tiantian began to back down and wanted to make a tactical retreat.

Although she was indeed very sad squatting at the Hyuga gate just now, she was more puzzled. Neji had a good relationship with her and they were also classmates.
