Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 111 Master and Apprentice (1W)

After the white-haired man pushed the door open, he was so startled by the person sitting in the room that he stood there in a daze, forgetting to close the door before walking in.

Long silver hair, blue eyes, tall figure, except for the gentle smile on his face which seemed familiar, the rest, no matter which aspect, was very different from the impression he had of Hinata Yuzuru.

"Welcome home, Jiraiya-sama."

"Uh, Godaime-sama." Jiraiya didn't know how to respond for a moment, and finally laughed awkwardly: "Thank you!"

He scratched his hair with one hand, closed the door, walked closer, stood straight, feeling uncomfortable and anxious.

Of course he has respect for the Hokage! But deep down, Hinata Yuzuru is still just a child to him. Now this child has suddenly transformed into what he is now and has become the Hokage, which makes him a little confused.

Until he saw Hinata Yuzuru sitting in the office with his own eyes, Jiraiya was still a little dazed - he always felt that it should be the old man of the Third Hokage who stayed here.

However, he soon adjusted himself, stood up straight, and said seriously: "Jounin Jiraiya, according to the order, has returned to Konoha."

"There's no need to be so reserved. Lord Jiraiya, you can still get along with me like before. Of course, you can't refuse my proposal this time." Hinata Yuzuru smiled teasingly.

The seriousness on Jiraiya's face turned into a helpless and awkward smile. He laughed a few times and said, "If I had known that Godaime-sama was so powerful, I would have accepted you as my disciple no matter what. I regret it so much, I regret it so much."

He said it in a slick way, not looking like a hero at all.

Hinata Yuzuru chatted with him again, and his smile faded a little: "Master Jiraiya, are you still planning to leave after you come back this time?"

The smile on Jiraiya's face disappeared. He frowned slightly and was silent for a moment: "If Godaime-sama allows it."

But Hinata Yuzuru just stared at his forehead.

On Jiraiya's forehead, on the forehead protector he was wearing at the moment, there was the word 'oil' written on it.

"Did Jiraiya-sama lose his forehead protector?" Hinata Yuzuru smiled calmly: "Do I need to give you another one?"

"I don't carry it with me all the time. I just choose not to wear it when I go out in order to facilitate movement." Jiraiya realized that the person in front of him seemed to have some bad intentions.

Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile, "Since you are going home, it is better to wear Konoha's forehead protector."

"Yes." Jiraiya did not argue, but said: "I will change it."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded. As Hokage, there are some things he must do, such as correcting some problems left over from the third generation.

Jiraiya and Tsunade are, without a doubt, one of the problems left behind by the Third Generation.

Two ninjas who were famous and extremely powerful in the ninja world were wandering around the ninja world and refused to go home. This would have been impossible without the Third Generation's own problems and indulgence.

He is not only the Hokage, but also the teacher of the Sannin!

Hyuga Yuzuru looked at Jiraiya, thought for a moment, then simply stood up and formed a shadow clone to handle the work for him in the office.

The shadow clone gave him a resentful look and buried his head in official business, while Hinata Yuzuru picked up the bamboo hat, put it on his head, and walked to Jiraiya: "If you are not busy, how about going out with me, having a simple meal, and chatting?"

Jiraiya certainly wouldn't refuse. In fact, he was a little uneasy at the moment - Hinata Yuzuru asked him to come back, and as a ninja of Konoha, he certainly couldn't refuse, but the vague "hostility" shown by the other party at the moment still made him a little at a loss.

His relationship with Yuzuru Hinata was not very deep. Even though they had been together for a few months, they had never been able to get too close due to certain issues. Now that Yuzuru Hinata became Hokage and her status had undergone earth-shaking changes, he became even more I don’t know how to face each other anymore.

All he could do was to respectfully say, "Yes," with the attitude that a jonin should have towards a Kage.

Hinata Yuzuru walked out of the door and gave a few instructions to the ANBU at the door: "If there is an urgent problem, let my shadow clone release itself and come back to notify me."

"Yes!" The Anbu responded immediately, glancing at the shadow clone in the office and secretly admiring him.

But not everyone can maintain the shadow clone for so long, and not everyone can withstand the fatigue and large amount of information brought about by the dissolution of the shadow clone.

Even if it is possible, it cannot be done often, but Hinata Yuzuru is like an iron man. At least during this period of time, the Anbu have never seen him have a good rest.

Others may still have doubts about the new Hokage, but the ANBU who often accompany him have already recognized that although he is young, he trusts the Hokage extremely sincerely.

After all, strictly speaking, Hinata Yuzuru is still a member of the Anbu!
Jiraiya lagged behind Hyuga Yuzuru by half a step, looking at the black and red divine robe on him, with the words "Golden Hokage" written on it, which made him feel a little emotional for a moment - time has passed, and it seems that he is no longer young.
The two left the Hokage building, and Hinata Yuzuru casually created another shadow clone, which disappeared after a few moments. He thought about it and suggested, "It's almost time for dinner now, why don't we go to my house and have a simple meal to welcome Master Jiraiya."

"Well, Godaime-sama. Otherwise, just call me Jiraiya." Jiraiya was a little uncomfortable with being addressed as 'sama' by his own Hokage.

"Then, Senior Jiraiya?" Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "After all, Senior Jiraiya is half a teacher in my eyes. It would be a bit uncomfortable if I call him by his name."

"Uh, okay." It would have been fine if he didn't mention the teacher, but once he mentioned the teacher, Jiraiya was speechless and could only nod in agreement.

The two of them strolled in Konoha. Jiraiya looked around and asked curiously, "When I came back recently, I saw that many streets were under construction. Is Konoha going to build some new facilities?"

"No, it's just that the village's urban planning is a bit poor. The residential area and the commercial area are mixed, the functions are chaotic, and the commercialization of the village is not well done. If we want to improve the finances, we can't rely on ninjas alone."

Hinata Yuzuru said briefly, but didn't go too far - in fact, he felt that Konoha was too small now.

Konoha Village, Konoha Village, how big can a village be?
He hopes that Konoha will be more advanced, more tolerant, and broader in the future, and that it can transform from a separate armed organization that is dependent on the Fire Nation to a certain extent, into a complete country.

It's funny that although Konoha has such a powerful military force, or the major ninja villages, are all tied to their own host countries and have to obtain approvals and funds from the Fire Nation in order to maintain their scale.

Hyuga Yuzuru is determined to subvert the ninja world, but in this process, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Fire Country.

Konoha has plenty of guns, but he still wants to keep the purse in his own hands.

So how to make money and how to build a better industrial and commercial system with the characteristics of the ninja world are his top priorities right now.

"I plan to build commercial streets on several streets on the north side of the village, give villagers preferential policies and encourage business. On the other hand, I also plan to gradually develop industrial plans so that everyone in Konoha can have cheap clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. Ordinary villagers don't need to worry about survival. As long as they are willing to work, they can earn income. When they are old, they can also receive Konoha's pension and spend their old age in peace."

"Only when industry prospers can we have more abundant supplies and chips to do transactions."

"Only by trading and developing commerce, we in Konoha can obtain enough income from taxes and government-owned enterprises to support a complete welfare system or improve the level of public facilities."

As Hinata Yuzuru spoke, he asked Jiraiya: "Senior Jiraiya, if you wander around the ninja world, you should be able to find that in the current ninja world, there are some remote small countries that have developed various , technologies that make people's lives very comfortable, such as movies-but Konoha doesn't even have a movie theater.

Moreover, Konoha now has to import a large amount of food and meat from outside and rely on supplies from the Fire Nation, which makes me feel a little incredible. "

Jiraiya was speechless after hearing what Hinata Yuzuru said. He had traveled all over the country and had naturally seen many places. What Hinata Yuzuru said was indeed true, but he still couldn't help but argue, "However, the villagers in Konoha actually have a good life.

Although I have seen many prosperous places, there are also filthy places everywhere that are hard to bear to look at. The rich people live a life of debauchery, while the homeless vagrants can only sleep on the streets.

Although Konoha is not that prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no homeless people. Even if a war breaks out, ordinary people in the village will not need to flee from their homes like ordinary people in the outside world until the last moment. Although they are not very wealthy, there should be no one who cannot afford to eat."

Hinata Yuzuru disagreed. He shook his head and said, "Have you ever seen what Konoha looked like when the first generation founded it? Almost everyone in the ninja world wanted to join Konoha. There was an endless stream of people coming to the village. They brought many unheard-of ideas, delicacies, interesting customs, and handicrafts.
At that time, Konoha was really considered to be the most beautiful place in the world, a dream place that everyone yearned for. But sixty years later, has Konoha changed for the better?

I only saw Konoha's industrial level gradually stagnate, and the people's entertainment projects did not have any innovation. There were only continuous wars, destroying the world again and again, causing the entire world to stagnate. "

Hyuga Yuzuru's words made Jiraiya look a little sad. As an old man of Konoha Village, he couldn't argue, but he could only sigh.

So what?

How to stop the war?

He had seen so many tragedies of families broken up and so many children displaced because of war, but he was just a ninja. Even if he became Hokage, he didn't think he could change anything.

Jiraiya looked at Hinata Yuzuru, but saw his slightly cold expression at the moment. Obviously, talking about these things made him think of some unpleasant things, but soon, Hinata Yuzuru's expression became firm.

"I'm going to change all this and make life better for the people of Konoha! Better than anyone else!"

Jiraiya was moved by these powerful words, but he could only smile with a complicated expression and said softly, "I hope I can see this day with my own eyes."

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head and stared at him. The two of them were walking on the street at this moment. Their conspicuous appearance made people who occasionally passed by look at them frequently, but Hinata Yuzuru was unaware of it and just stared at him: "So, what is your dream, Jiraiya-senpai?"

Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief.

My dream?
It took him a long time before he smiled dumbly and said calmly: "It is roughly the same as Lord Godaime's dream."

Hinata Yuzuru then retracted his gaze, slowed down his pace, walked side by side with Jiraiya, and smiled, "That's great. Right now, there is an opportunity for Master Jiraiya to get one step closer to realizing his dream."

Jiraiya couldn't help but look at him with a smile and whispered, "What is it?"

"Take in a child as your apprentice, help him grow as much as possible, and protect him."

Hinata Yuzuru stopped and stood at the door of Hinata's house. His blue eyes looked into the distance, as if he saw something.

Jiraiya glanced at it, but saw nothing. He was thinking: Is it a simple perception ability? No, his eyes clearly showed that he saw something. In other words, is it still the ability of the Byakugan?

Unlike ordinary Byakugan, which needs to be opened before it can work? No, from my perception, the pupil power radiating from his eyes is amazing, even in the most ordinary state, it is stronger than ever before. In other words, is his Byakugan equivalent to being open at any time?

Uh, or in other words, can this eye still be called a white eye?
Jiraiya was secretly shocked, and waited for a while with Hinata Yuzuru, and saw the person coming.

His pupils shrank slightly at first, and then he looked away as if to escape. There was some guilt in his eyes, and some helplessness that he didn't know how to describe. He was silent for a moment: "Is he the child you asked me to teach?"

"of course."

Hyuga Yuzuru calmly said: "Didn't you say that for you, the meaning of master and apprentice is far deeper than teacher and student? Then, it is also what you should do to take on the responsibility of Naruto, Jiraiya senior."

Jiraiya looked at Hinata Yuzuru and whispered, "Isn't it still a little young? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let him study hard in the ninja school and enjoy the carefree life?"

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, so his identity is destined. He cannot grow up carefree like ordinary people. Some people around Konoha now have unfriendly attitudes. We must let him have A certain ability to protect yourself.”

Hinata Yuzuru just said this, and Naruto had already run all the way to the front.

His face no longer had the tangle and sadness of yesterday, as if he had become carefree and cheerful again: "Brother Yuzuru! Here I come!"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and touched Uzumaki Naruto's head: "Well, let's go. By the way, I'll invite you to have dinner with us."

"Okay! Also, is this uncle my teacher?" Uzumaki Naruto turned to look at Jiraiya, who faced him with a cynical smile: "Uncle?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked him up and down, and said suspiciously: "Is this uncle very strong? I feel like I have seen him somewhere before. Ah!"

"Women's bathhouse! I've seen this uncle in the women's bathhouse." Before Naruto could finish his words, Jiraiya covered his mouth with his hand.

Looking at the Hyuga clan members on duty at the door, he smiled awkwardly: "Hahahaha! I'm just passing by. Everyone may pass by the women's bathhouse."

He covered Naruto's mouth with one hand and almost half-carried him inside: "Lord Godaime, where are we going to eat? Where are we going? This is my first time back to the Hyuga clan."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and nodded to the tribesmen at the door, and they greeted them respectfully.

Walking inside, Hyuga Yuzuru chose to go to his new home instead of where Hinata Hizashi and his mother were. At this moment, in the courtyard, only the maid Riko was at home cleaning the courtyard.

He did not have a wife as hardworking as his mother to keep the house in tidy order. As Xun was called by him to the Hokage Building to work hard, she often had no time to take care of the trivial matters at home and could only entrust other maids to take care of them. Even when he needed to meet guests like this, the maids would go to the big kitchen to prepare.

"Lord Godaime!"

"Ah, Sister Li, you've worked hard. We have guests today. I'll have to trouble you to go to the kitchen and make some arrangements. Let's use the Frost Country beef that my mother collected earlier to make a Sukiyaki pot. Senior Jiraiya, Naruto, is that okay?"

Since it was agreed that it was a family dinner, it naturally wouldn't be too complicated. Sukiyaki is simple to prepare and easy to eat. This kind of Japanese hot pot is always available at home.

Jiraiya and Naruto nodded repeatedly. Naruto liked to eat anything, while Jiraiya had obviously heard of the beef from the Frost Country for a long time. Just hearing about it made him drool.

"Yes!" Li Zi agreed immediately.

Hinata Yuzuru took the guests in, and Riko made tea for them before going out.

Sitting in the living room, Jiraiya looked around.

"As expected of the Hinata family."

he sighed.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, but did not rush to get to the point - lest everyone lose their appetite after talking too much.

Naruto was fascinated as he listened to Jiraiya talk about his experiences wandering in the ninja world.

The Sukiyaki pot was ready and the three of them started eating right away.

Hinata Yuzuru was also amazed at the food he ate. The lean meat of this yak, which grew on the snow-capped mountains, was firm, while the fat parts had extremely beautiful snowflake patterns. It was not enough to just cook it, so he added an oven. The three of them could eat a lot, and Riko, who was in charge of preparing the ingredients in the kitchen, was sweating profusely. She even called a maid for help before she could cope with it.

But there was nothing he could do about it - with Hinata Yuzuru's current status, if he went out to eat without a private room, he would be surrounded by the crowd and would not be private enough, and it would not be convenient to talk about things.

This made him think about it. Otherwise, let one of the Hyuga clan open a shop. It would be convenient to eat whatever he wanted, and it would be easier to get together with friends.

He can also think about and develop his favorite dishes: to be honest, the food in Naruto World is mainly Japanese style. When he tastes it, although he has been used to it for so many years, he really feels that the taste is just ordinary.

When the three of them had eaten their fill, the mess on the table was cleaned up by the maid, and replaced with refreshing barley tea, the three of them fell into tacit silence.

Jiraiya would steal a glance at Naruto from time to time. Naruto, who was always carefree, actually understood the atmosphere very well and sat there quietly.

"Jiraiya-senpai, I hope you can accept Uzumaki Naruto next to me as your disciple."

Hinata Yuzuru made another request in front of Naruto.

Jiraiya remained calm, not wanting Naruto to misunderstand anything, but he was still unable to give an immediate answer. He looked at Naruto beside him with complicated eyes.

At this moment, Hyuga Yuzuru said softly: "The reason why, as Hokage, I make such an embarrassing request to Jiraiya-senpai at this moment is because I think this is what Konoha should do to Naruto. compensate.

Moreover, I think that Master Jiraiya also needs to shoulder this responsibility - as a junior, some of the words I say may be a little rude, but even so, I still think I should say them. "

Hinata Yuzuru glanced at Naruto, who was now looking at him eagerly, anxiously waiting for his fate to be revealed.

"You once said that for you, the relationship between master and disciple is far closer and more important than the so-called teacher and student.

But Naruto is your disciple's child. For all these years, you only glanced at him from afar when you returned to Konoha - is this really okay?
If Senior Namikaze knew what happened to Naruto, he might not blame you, but can you really have a clear conscience? "

Jiraiya couldn't argue.

However, he is not without excuses.

How can I explain my excuse to Hinata Yuzuru?
'Because the three generations of old men placed him there and concealed his identity, I shouldn't disturb his decision?'

"Because you are unhappy with some of the decisions and actions of the Third Hokage, you don't want to waste your youth in the quagmire of Konoha?"

"I want to get Tsunade back."

"I want to find the child of destiny that the immortal mentioned."

No matter which one, Jiraiya couldn't convince himself.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath for a long time: "It's my fault."

He will not avoid his mistakes. If he is really wrong, he will take responsibility.

The current Hokage is the Fifth Hokage in front of him.

Hinata Yuzuru.

As a ninja of Konoha, even if it is just because of responsibility - you must respect his decision.

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head and looked at Naruto: "I don't want to discuss the countermeasures of the predecessors, but in my opinion, there is no need to hide your identity."

"Naruto, your father's identity"

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Naruto who was so nervous that he was holding his breath and his body was tense. He did not tempt him, but said quietly: "It's the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."

Naruto was struck by lightning. He had never thought of himself as the son of the Hokage, even though Hinata Yuzuru had mentioned that his father was once the disciple of the uncle in front of him. The limit that Naruto could think of was that his father was at most a very powerful ninja.

But Naruto!?
"Do you know why those ignorant villagers took out their anger on you and called you a demon fox?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked calmly.

Naruto shook his head, clenching his fists even tighter, and tears gradually filled his eyes.

Hyuga Yuzuru told him about the Kyuubi Rebellion and the death of the fourth generation.

Then, the concepts of tailed beasts and jinchūriki were explained to him.

These news were extremely shocking to Naruto, and even somewhat shattered his outlook.

After Hinata Yuzuru finished explaining the ins and outs of the so-called Jinchuuriki, Naruto's hands were trembling and he covered his face.

He cried softly and choked, "Is the meaning of my existence to become a container to seal the tailed beasts and a weapon for the village? It was obviously my father who saved the village, why, why do they still scold me?"

Before Hinata Yuzuru could speak, Jiraiya had already extended his hand.

He gently placed his rough hand on Naruto's head and gave him an apologetic smile, "No! You are definitely not just a vessel to seal the tailed beasts, nor are you a weapon of the village."

"You are Konoha's hope."

Jiraiya felt Naruto's still trembling body and the sad aura surrounding his body, and whispered: "Do you know the origin of your name?"

Naruto didn't reply, just shook his head slightly and reached out to wipe his tears.

“It’s the name of the protagonist in a book I wrote, The Story of Strong and Perseverant Ninja.

Minato, he hopes that you can be like the protagonist in this novel, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and bring happiness to everyone. He has high hopes for you.

As for the villagers’ abuse.”

Jiraiya sighed helplessly, but could only speak in a softer tone: "This is also out of protection for you - if your status as a Jinchūriki is widely publicized, perhaps more bad guys will target you. The Third Generation did this, perhaps, to allow you to grow up more safely.

Well, of course, maybe, there is a better way.

But I believe that the third generation must have done his best to protect you."

Jiraiya himself did not have much confidence in what he said.

Finally, it was Hinata Yuzuru who spoke: "So, what choice will you make?"

Naruto looked up at him.

Hinata Yuzuru just looked at him with a smile: "No matter who is right or wrong in the past, we cannot change it. All we can do is change our future."

"If you choose to resent everyone in Konoha Village, even the Third and Fourth Hokage, and Senior Jiraiya, because of what happened to you..."

"I will support you too."

Hinata Yuzuru's words not only made Naruto stay where he was, but even Jiraiya couldn't help but look at him.

"I cannot empathize with the pain and suffering you have suffered, nor can I tell you to put everything aside and look forward positively - because even I have things that I cannot tolerate.

Because I know this feeling, I will never criticize any choice you make. "

"Whether you feel hatred because of the past, choose revenge on the 'murderer' who made you suffer everything.

It was after this that I gained greater determination and courage to work hard for a better future.

Either way, I will support you, Naruto.

These are the words I say in the name of the Fifth Hokage!

Even if you decide to leave Konoha, I will take responsibility for what I said."

When Naruto heard this, he only briefly followed his words and imagined it for a moment, then he couldn't help but feel sad. He lowered his head, shook his head slightly, and whispered weakly but firmly: "I don't want to leave"

"Then stay here and work hard to become a qualified Sixth Generation Hokage."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled gently: "Naruto."

"The reason why I tell you everything is because I want you to know that your parents are great heroes, and they will love you deeply until they die and look forward to your future.

There are also
Even if you had nothing in the past.

But in the future, at least, I will still be here. "

Hinata Yuzuru said, not only looking at Naruto, but also looking at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's expression was heavy.

Naruto cried even louder.

He was wiping his tears and crying until Jiraiya on the side couldn't help but gently hold his head in his arms and looked at Hinata Yuzuru with helpless eyes - you coax him!

But Hinata Yuzuru just smiled and didn't urge him until Naruto had cried enough and looked at him seriously with red eyes.

"I must make everyone recognize me. I must become an excellent ninja like my father and brother Yuzuru, and become the Sixth Hokage!"

Hinata Yuzuru hummed, then looked at Jiraiya and said faintly: "Senior Jiraiya, what do you think?"

"I will also do my best to help you, Naruto."

Jiraiya finally expressed his attitude.

He looked at Naruto beside him. Even though Naruto had complicated feelings towards him at the moment, he could tell from Jiraiya's posture and tone that the white-haired uncle in front of him had a strong will at the moment.

"very good!"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled with satisfaction.

He clapped softly: "Then it's settled! From today on, Senior Jiraiya will be responsible for Naruto's teaching - my requirements are very low, as long as Master Jiraiya can let him teach within two years. All he needs to do is learn the Rasengan."

Hearing this, Jiraiya thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

It took him two years to learn the Rasengan. Even though Naruto seems to be just an average-sized person, he is the helper of the Nine-Tails and is Minato's child after all.

It sounds reasonable.

Naruto didn't know what the Rasengan was. Maybe crying made him feel a lot better, or maybe he had figured out what was most important and what he longed for most at this moment in his heart.

Therefore, at this time, Naruto's expression had gradually returned to his former liveliness and innocence: "Rasengan? Did Brother Yuzuru say it, a super forbidden technique?"

"Ah, that's not the case."

Hinata Yuzuru almost forgot that he still lacked something from Naruto.

He looked at Jiraiya and smiled slightly, "The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is absolutely the most suitable super forbidden technique for you. Senior Jiraiya also knows it, so you can ask him to teach you. It should be easy for you to learn this ninjutsu."

Hyuga Yuzuru believes that Naruto can grow up rapidly in just a few years, and that he can look like a beast with a slap in the face of Pain at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the help of multiple shadow clones is absolutely indispensable.

He is such a beast.

Maybe it's because Naruto has a simple mind, well, to be honest, he's just a fool in some things and has a rough mind.

The mental burden of the shadow clone on him became extremely low, even negligible.

Moreover, due to the Uzumaki clan, or some kind of 'ancient' bloodline, his body's ability to recover and resist fatigue is also amazingly strong.

Only with the blessing of the Nine-Tails Chakra can he use thousands of shadow clones to attack the enemy endlessly.

This also means that the forbidden technique of multiple shadow clones, which is just a burden and harm to ordinary people, is like a customized plug-in that allows him to grow at an accelerated rate.

The fact that he was able to transform the Rasengan from Chibi Maruko-chan into the Star Destroyer Ball was partly due to his tens of thousands of shadow clones that missed the Maruko-chan.

If Naruto also had his own system, he would probably be able to reach the Six Paths level in just one year.

Destiny's child is so terrifying.

Jiraiya listened to Hinata Yuzuru's words, thought for a moment, and did not refuse. He thought that the ninjutsu of multiple shadow clones was really suitable for a Jinchūriki like Naruto.

"it is good."

He readily agreed.

Hyuga Yuzuru looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Then let the two of you, master and disciple, discuss how to practice! Senior Jiraiya, I entrust the hope of Konoha to you."

"I will never let Godaime-sama down." Jiraiya responded helplessly at first, and then, with a serious face, he issued a military order.

The importance of Jinchūriki is self-evident.

Hinata Yuzuru's ability to hand Naruto over to him, in a sense, had proven his trust in Jiraiya.

There was no suspicion at all because he was a disciple of the Third Generation and had wandered alone outside Konoha for a long time.

A gentleman will die for his friend. Even if it sounds a bit exaggerated, Jiraiya has truly recognized the young new Hokage from the bottom of his heart.

As a ninja of Konoha, if one day, I die for Konoha and Hokage.

Presumably, he absolutely has no choice but to do so.

"In addition, I also have a task to give to Jiraiya-senpai."

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Jiraiya continued to nod seriously and said, "Please give your instructions, Hokage."

“Bring back Tsunade, the former princess of Konoha and one of the three ninjas.

As long as you find her whereabouts, use this communication crystal to notify me, and I will use the Flying Thunder God to rush over directly.

It's up to me to convince her personally to return to Konoha. "

After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Jiraiya became obviously much more positive.

He was delighted at first, but then he looked at Naruto beside him with a conflicted look. Finally, he whispered, "But I still have to teach Naruto."

"You can take him out to look for it. While training, you can also let him see what the current ninja world is like."

Hinata Yuzuru approved it and said, "If any enemies appear, especially those on the list below, please do not hesitate to crush the communication crystal immediately. I will use Flying Thunder God to rush to the battlefield and bring you back to Konoha safely."

Hinata Yuzuru took out a crystal and handed it to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took it and looked at it carefully. He couldn't see the structure clearly. He could only feel that the chakra fluctuations in it were very strange. It seemed to be vaguely mixed with the properties of curse seals and psychic techniques. There might also be some special escaping techniques. Carat properties change.

What a fantastic idea and quite a miraculous creation!
Hinata Yuzuru saw him accept it, and then looked at Naruto: "I will say hello to the Ninja School, don't worry, you won't miss graduation, if everything goes well, you can come back and study in the sixth grade with them.

I feel relieved to seize this opportunity and have Jiraiya-senpai take you out. However, in the ninja world in a few years, there may be a period of time where it is not suitable to go out.

Tsunade is a very important figure to Konoha. The medical ninjutsu and strength she masters are enough to support an entire Konoha medical team and even the medical system.

In the future Konoha, she is as absolutely indispensable as Jiraiya-senpai.

Naruto, even if you haven't become a Genin yet, this is the mission the Hokage has given you.

Let's set the grade to S.

The rewards will also be distributed according to needs - if you can deal with Tsunade yourself and convince her to return to Konoha."

Hinata Yuzuru winked at Naruto and said, "Maybe, you can get one million ryo."

Naruto's mind was now filled with 'S-level missions' and 'one million taels'.

His breathing became heavier, especially since this was a mission assigned to him by Hinata Yuzuru himself!

This feeling of being entrusted with an important task by him made the still young Naruto feel incomparable pressure and expectations!

"I know! Yuzuru-nii!"

"You will never be disappointed!"

Naruto agreed confidently.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly and looked at Jiraiya: "Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Jiraiya, you can leave whenever you want. Of course, don't forget to bring this with you."

Hinata Yuzuru took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and placed it on the table.

Jiraiya took it solemnly and looked at the extremely familiar Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand with complicated eyes, but he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the Godaime-sama could even master a technique like the Flying Thunder God, and he could ignore the distance. The precise positioning is really incredible."

"I'm a genius." Hinata Yuzuru used the usual excuse.

When Naruto heard Minato's name again, his vision unconsciously became a little empty and his mind wandered.

After Hyuga Yuzuru and Jiraiya chatted for a few more words and finalized the general process, Jiraiya took Naruto and left the Hyuga clan's territory.

Jiraiya stood on the street, looking at the plaque of the Hyuga clan. After a while, he sighed and whispered, "The Fifth Hokage?"

But he found that Naruto beside him was surprisingly quiet.

Jiraiya turned to look at him and saw Naruto looking at him at the moment: "That, uncle."

"Call me Jiraiya-sensei!"

Jiraiya asked him to change his title.

"What kind of person is Jiraiya-sensei, the Fourth Hokage, my father?"

Seeing Naruto looking a little awkward at the moment.

Jiraiya felt a little guilty, so he reached out his hand and gently placed it on his head: "Him."

The two walked away together.

It didn't take long.

Hinata Yuzuru also left home.

Run to the Hokage Building again.

Different from his previous cheerfulness and ease, this time, when he pushed open the office door, his expression was unusually cold.

It’s just because the person in the room at this moment has a special identity.

The person who came was none other than Uchiha Fugaku, who had been trying his best to keep a low profile for a while but to no avail, and was still always at the forefront of Konoha's turmoil.
