On the streets of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto wearing black and red sportswear was taking a morning jog.
He started to grow taller recently, and the orange sportswear he used to wear became a little unfitting. Fortunately, he became a ninja and finally had some savings in his pocket, so he bought one in the style of Hinata Yuzuru's god robe.
Wearing a sports suit - it looks like he is much more mature than before.
He breathed long and tirelessly ran around Konoha several times before he stopped, took a few breaths, stretched his legs and feet, and stood in the training ground, looking around: "Really, Jiraiya-sensei ran again
Where is it!"
After Jiraiya returned to Konoha, he and Kakashi still shouldered the identity of Naruto's teacher.
As long as there were no missions, Naruto would train with Jiraiya for half a day every day. In the afternoon, he would occasionally pester Kakashi to teach him, but sometimes he would just practice by himself.
After waiting impatiently for a while, Uzumaki Naruto groaned helplessly: "Really..."
Just as he was complaining, Jiraiya, who had big dark circles under his eyes, huffed and belatedly said, "Morning."
"What's the morning? Jiraiya-sensei... you're not going to stay up late again to catch up on the manuscript, are you?" Uzumaki Naruto looked at Jiraiya's bloodshot eyes with a teasing expression.
Jiraiya smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head: "Hey, when it comes to writing, there's no such thing as rushing to finish the manuscript. Inspiration has come, inspiration has come."
"I heard that Konoha will launch a new four-wheeled vehicle recently...Jiraiya-sensei, is it really okay?" Naruto said with sympathy, while Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then whispered with a tangled look on his face.
Asked: "When did it happen?"
"Yesterday.
From what they said, that thing seemed to be called a 'car', and it was several times more expensive than a motorcycle.
Well, I heard Kakashi-sensei say that you can probably buy one by completing an S-level mission."
Naruto said as he eagerly prepared for training.
Jiraiya's face darkened, and he subconsciously reached for his wallet with one hand, quickly calculating in his mind - including the gambling debts Tsunade owed in Earth Country, the loan for buying a new house in Konoha, and the above.
A loan for a motorcycle given to Tsunade...
How about going to find the Godaime to take over a mission?
If I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to that guy Yuzuru's words about "the value will definitely increase" and bought the house next to Hokage Rock...
But just thinking about the words like "the best choice for a wedding room" and "a room in a top school district" when Hyuga Yuzuru was promoting it, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh, forget it, and bought it all.
"Okay, training!" Jiraiya's heart was dripping with blood, and he rolled his eyes. After watching Uzumaki Naruto re-engage in training seriously, his eyes were thoughtful: "You haven't asked the Godaime yet.
Is it your business?"
"Well... when I went last time, he was busy, so I didn't tell him... I heard that Yuzuru-san seems to be officially taking over as the Fifth Hokage recently, so I might as well wait until he is done with his work."
Uzumaki Naruto said nonchalantly, and suddenly noticed something. When he turned his head, he saw a figure walking from a distance. His eyes widened at first, and then he shouted excitedly: "Yuzuru-nii!"
Hyuga Yuzuru, who was wearing a god robe, walked closer and smiled: "Good morning, Naruto, Jiraiya-senpai."
"Lord Godaime, what's the matter?" Jiraiya said, with a puzzled expression - in his impression, even if something happened, Hinata Yuzuru would usually only let people come to the office to find him, and he would rarely come out on his own initiative.
.
But Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile: "You have to let me be lazy sometimes...Also, Jiraiya-senpai, you have to pay attention to moderation."
For Jiraiya, an old bachelor in his 30s and 40s, this joke hit the nail on the head. He blushed in a rare way: "Lord Godaime, I'm just, uh, writing a little late recently."
"Is there any progress with Tsunade-senpai?" Hyuga Yuzuru hit Jiraiya's vitals again with his sword. He laughed awkwardly and glanced at Naruto; "What are you talking about..."
"Men should take the initiative. Tsunade-senpai is not young anymore. If we don't hurry up, Naruto's child might be born." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Jiraiya hesitated and was speechless.
Uzumaki Naruto's eyes widened even more, and he pointed a finger at himself: "Me!?"
He blushed irritably: "How is that possible!"
But Hinata Yuzuru smiled leisurely: "How is it impossible? Could it be that you don't have someone you like?"
Uzumaki Naruto fell into silence. He scratched his head and didn't know what to say. Hinata Yuzuru looked thoughtfully and glanced at Jiraiya: "It's rare to come out... Come and chat with me? Jiraiya."
Senior, you better go back and catch up on some sleep, and remember to leave a signed copy for Kakashi when it is published - this guy is an invisible rich man, you know."
Jiraiya hummed and said, "Kakashi is my biggest fan after all, I will definitely leave a copy for him."
But I was thinking in my heart - if I borrow some from Kakashi, and wait for the royalties to come back, it will be enough for the down payment of the car. The motorcycle is too small, sorry, but I can ride with Tsunade in the car...
Jiraiya didn't know what scene he had imagined, and he showed a weird smile. After regaining consciousness for a while, he glanced and saw Hinata Yuzuru hooking up with Uzumaki Naruto's shoulders, and the two walked away, whispering to each other.
"Jiraiya-senpai, the newly opened coffee and cake shop in Konoha has a limited edition vanilla flavor in the morning..."
Hinata Yuzuru only left one incomprehensible word and led Naruto to a distance. Jiraiya also stood there stunned. After a while, he scratched his cheek in confusion.
Really...
My great hero Jiraiya was ridiculed like this by his juniors...
only...
Tsunade usually gets up very late, maybe she hasn't eaten that vanilla cake... I don't know if the coffee tastes good, or...
He was ready to move, but finally made up his mind, his eyes with dark circles shone brightly, and he took steps forward.
In fact, Jiraiya is not a timid person, but he has been burdened with too much before, and he is also aware of Tsunade's pain. When he is not sure about the future and cannot settle down, he will not care about it.
I don't want to change the current status quo no matter what.
But now, Konoha is prosperous, and the child of destiny that Toad Sage calls seems to be around. Although it is not yet sure whether it is Naruto, the idiot, or Hinata Yuzuru, but for now, everything is going for the best.
go in the direction.
Tsunade untied the knot in her heart, and he finally found a sense of stability in Konoha for a long time. Maybe...
Should I be more proactive?
Jiraiya left with a complicated mood.
Hyuga Yuzuru and Naruto were aimlessly wandering around Konoha. Both of them were extremely familiar with Konoha. They just walked around and found a secluded place to chat. This was once a walking path by the river.
, but due to the rapid development of Konoha, it has also gradually become deserted and sparsely populated.
After all, the new roads in Konoha are all clean and flat asphalt or cement roads, so fewer and fewer people take the dirt roads.
"Okay, now there's no one left... Tell me, I remember, you used to like that pink-haired female classmate in your class."
Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile, and Uzumaki Naruto blushed: "You said Sakura, I am not the same, eh..."
He reached out and scratched his short blond hair in a panic: "In short, that doesn't count as liking it! But we are still good companions."
"Oh? When did you change your mind?"
Hinata Yuzuru laughed and sat down with him on a stone bench.
Naruto also sat down, and the two of them sat next to each other, chatting alone for a long time.
He smirked and looked at the ground: "It's not like I changed my mind. It's just that at that time, I didn't really know what liking meant... Besides, it's not me that Sakura likes."
Although Naruto said this, Hinata Yuzuru tilted his head and saw some insincerity in his words. He guessed that maybe Naruto was only saying the second half of what he said at the moment when he said he didn't like Sakura.
There are relationships.
Maybe...
Is it because Sakura likes Sasuke, and as Sasuke's friend, he feels that he shouldn't fight for her love?
In short, looking at Naruto's expression, Hinata Yuzuru could somewhat understand some of the unrest in his heart.
Hyuga Yuzuru reached out and rubbed his yellow hair: "Don't say these useless things... If you like it, go for it. Even if no one believes that you can do what you want to do, you will do your best.
Go ahead and prove to others that this is the Naruto I know."
"It's really not like that!" He frowned and looked at Hinata Yuzuru angrily. After a while, he hummed and smiled: "Compared to me, Brother Yuzuru's situation is more troublesome, right?
Sister Xiaoxun and senior Quan, what do you want?"
"How do you know?" Hinata Yuzuru raised his eyebrows.
"Kakashi-sensei said that. He said that in Jiraiya-sensei's books, characters like Yuzuru-san don't have a good ending. He also told us not to follow your example...hehe."
He said, observing Hinata Yuzuru's expression and seeing that he was not unhappy, he relaxed and smiled: "So, Yuzuru-san, what do you think?"
"Only children make choices...I want them all!" Hyuga Yuzuru calmly said the words that shocked Uzumaki Naruto. However, after he finished speaking, he just shook his head and smiled.
He said leisurely: "Who knows, let's wait and see, maybe some of them will quit? Or just keep going like this, there's nothing wrong with it..."
"Wow... scumbag." Naruto muttered to himself. Seeing him reaching out to flick his head in displeasure, he didn't move away. He pretended to be in pain with a smile in his eyes, which was enough to satisfy his cravings.
But Hinata Yuzuru didn't refute, just whispered: "Don't imitate me, this will make girls sad. There is no way, and I don't want to. Maybe, this is the price of becoming a handsome Hokage."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, but Naruto pinched his chin thoughtfully: "Then if I can become someone who surpasses Yuzuru-nii..."
"Impossible, I won't lose to a brat like you~ If you can be the next Hokage, you are very capable!" Hinata Yuzuru gave him a fierce shudder, looked at Naruto and hummed a few times:
"Doing what I say is my way of ninja!"
"I hope the place you want to surpass is correct." Hinata Yuzuru said, and Naruto laughed: "Of course, I will not be as scumbag as Yuzuru-san..."
He was ready to be hit on the head by Hinata Yuzuru with a finger. He turned around and saw that the other party was just smiling inexplicably at the moment. He looked at the leaves in the distance being blown by the wind without caring at all. He was quiet for a moment.
, Hinata Yuzuru asked.
"Do you have any questions for me lately?"
Uzumaki Naruto was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at him carefully, then lowered his head and said, "Brother Yuzuru, am I an... unqualified Jinchuuriki?"
"Why do you say that?" Hinata Yuzuru looked at him calmly, but Naruto had a faint look of disappointment on his face, and he lowered his head.
"Like Gaara of Sunagakure Village, a ninja who can use the tailed beast in his body at any time to fight for the village is a qualified jinchūriki...and I don't know how to use the power of the leader in my body to fight for the village."
Teacher Laiye said that it is best for you to decide on this matter."
Hinata Yuzuru stretched out her hand, put it on his blond hair and rubbed it. After thinking for a moment, he laughed: "I thought it was a big deal... Do you want to use the power of the tailed beast in your body? That's fine, yours
He's almost old enough to deal with that guy.
Just remember one thing, tailed beasts can be your friends and helpers, or they can be your enemies.
It has IQ and can communicate. Because it has been sealed and manipulated by humans for many years, its heart is now filled with anger towards humans... If you want to master the power of the tailed beast, in addition to having firm belief and rationality when using power, you
You need to know more clearly what you need.”
"What do I need?" Naruto frowned slightly, but Hinata Yuzuru said straightforwardly: "If you pursue power just for the sake of power, sooner or later you will get lost in power.
In addition, you should also know what your true ideals and goals should be."
"Of course I know..." Uzumaki Naruto looked like you were looking down on me, but Hinata Yuzuru reached out and gently pressed his forehead: "No, you don't know..."
Uzumaki Naruto felt that light was shining in the blue eyes of Hinata Yuzuru in front of him, and the next moment, the world in front of him changed like a whirlwind.
When he suddenly woke up and the dizziness ended, the world in front of him had become a completely new look.
Although the two of them were still on the bench, Hyuga Yuzuru was wearing a white casual kimono, with flowing white hair and a leisurely look on his face.
Uzumaki Naruto lowered his head and was shocked to find that he was wearing a god-like robe similar to that of Hinata Yuzuru.
He reached out to touch the top of his head in panic, but took off a bamboo hat. The word "fire" written on it made him dumbfounded and he looked to the side at a loss.
Hinata Yuzuru just smiled at him.
"Go back to the village... and see if your dream of becoming Hokage is that good.
If this kind of life is what you dream of and yearn for, then I will personally help you master the power of the Nine-Tails."
After he finished speaking, the whole person suddenly disappeared, leaving only a smiling voice echoing in the place: "Enjoy it, Sixth Generation Hokage."
Hinata Yuzuru disappeared.
Naruto didn't even have time to say a question. When Hinata Yuzuru disappeared, he stayed there in shock, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"what..."
"Is it an illusion?"
Naruto wasn't sure, but looked around and couldn't help but marvel: I've never heard of someone's illusion ability reaching this level...
Since it's a genjutsu...what did Yuzuru-nii say just now?
