Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 137 The Sixth Hokage! ?

On the streets of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto, wearing a black and red sportswear, was jogging in the morning.

He had started to grow taller recently, and his previous orange sportswear had become a little too fit. Fortunately, after becoming a ninja, he finally had some savings in his pocket, so he bought himself a set of sportswear in the style of Hinata Yuzuru's divine robe - he looked much more mature than before.

He breathed deeply, and ran around Konoha several times tirelessly before he stopped, took a few breaths, stretched his legs, stood in the training ground, and looked around: "Really, where has teacher Jiraiya gone again!"

After Jiraiya returned to Konoha, he still shouldered the identity of Naruto's teacher with Kakashi.

As long as he was not on a mission, 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 on his own.

After waiting for a while in a somewhat irritable manner, 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 do you mean early? Teacher Jiraiya, you're not staying up late to finish the manuscript again, 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. The inspiration is here, the inspiration is here."

"I heard that Konoha is going to launch a new four-wheeled vehicle recently. Teacher Jiraiya, is it really okay?" Naruto said with a sympathetic look on his face, and Jiraiya was stunned, then asked in a low voice with a tangled face: "When did it happen?"

“Yesterday.

They said that thing was 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 one hand subconsciously reached for his wallet, quickly calculating the accounts in his mind - the gambling debts that Tsunade owed in the Land of Earth, the loan for the new house she bought in Konoha, and the loan for the last motorcycle she gave to Tsunade.
How about going to find the Godaime to take over a mission?

I should have known better than to listen to Yuzuru's words about "definitely appreciating in value" and buy the house next to the Hokage Rock.
But when he thought of what Hinata Yuzuru said when he was selling the house, such as "the best choice for a wedding house" and "a house in a top school district", Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh and think, forget it, he's already bought it.

"Okay, let's train!" Jiraiya's heart was bleeding. He rolled his eyes and watched Uzumaki Naruto return to training seriously. His eyes were thoughtful: "Haven't you asked the fifth generation about your matter yet?"

"Well, last time I went there, he was busy, so I didn't tell him. I heard that Yuzuru-kun is going to officially become the fifth Hokage soon, so I decided to wait until he's done with his work before telling him."

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, wearing a divine robe, came closer and smiled, "Good morning, Naruto, Jiraiya-senpai."

"Godaime-sama, is there anything I can help you with?" Jiraiya said with a puzzled expression - in his impression, even if Hinata Yuzuru had something to do, he would usually just ask someone to find him in the office, and he would rarely come out on his own initiative.

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and said, "You have to let me be lazy once in a while. Also, Senior Jiraiya, please be moderate."

For Jiraiya, an old bachelor in his thirties or forties, this joke hit the nail on the head. He blushed in a rare old face: "Lord Godaime, I just, uh, have been a little late in writing recently."

"Are you making any progress with Senior Tsunade?" Hyuga Yuzuru hit Jiraiya in the vitals again. 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 may 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 and said, "How is that possible?"

Hinata Yuzuru smiled and said, "How is that impossible? Don't you have someone you like?"

Uzumaki Naruto fell silent. He scratched his head, not knowing what to say. Hinata Yuzuru seemed to be thinking about something and glanced at Jiraiya: "It's rare for you to come out. Why don't you come and chat with me? Senior Jiraiya, you should go back and have some sleep. Remember to leave a signed copy for Kakashi when the book is published. This guy is a hidden rich man, you know."

Jiraiya hummed and said, "Kakashi is my biggest fan after all, I will definitely leave a portion for him."

But in my heart I was thinking - if I borrow some money from Kakashi, when the royalties come back, it will be enough for the down payment of the car. The motorcycle is too small, but I can ride in the car with Tsunade.
Jiraiya had no idea what scene he was imagining and let out a strange smile. After he came back to his senses, he glanced and saw Hinata Yuzuru putting his arm around Uzumaki Naruto's shoulder, and the two of them were whispering as they walked away.

"Senior Jiraiya, the new coffee and cake shop in Konoha has a limited vanilla flavor this morning."

Hinata Yuzuru left behind only a few confusing words and walked away with Naruto, while Jiraiya stood there in a daze. After a while, he scratched his cheek in confusion.

Really.
I, the great hero Jiraiya, was actually teased by my juniors like this.
only.
Tsunade usually gets up very late, so I can't say for sure. I haven't tried that vanilla cake yet, so I don't know if the coffee tastes good.
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. It's just that he has been burdened too much before and is aware of Tsunade's pain. When he can't be sure of the future and can't settle down, he doesn't care. I don't want to change the current status quo no matter what.

But now, Konoha is thriving, and the child of destiny mentioned by the Toad Sage seems to be right beside him. Although it is still not certain whether it is the fool Naruto or Hinata Yuzuru, but for now, everything is moving in a good direction.

Tsunade untied the knot in her heart, and she finally found a sense of stability in Konoha after a long time. Maybe.
Should I be more proactive?
Jiraiya left with mixed feelings.

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 riverside walk. , 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 that no one is around, let's talk. I remember that you used to like that pink-haired girl in your class."

Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile, and Uzumaki Naruto blushed: "You said Sakura, I am not either, eh."

He stretched out his hand and scratched his short golden hair in a panic: "Anyway, it doesn't count as love! But we are still very 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 the first time in a long time. He smiled foolishly and looked at the ground awkwardly: "It's not that I changed my mind, but at that time, I didn't really know what love was. Besides, Sakura didn't like me."

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.

Hinata Yuzuru reached out and rubbed his yellow hair: "Don't say these useless things. If you like someone, just chase them. If you want to do something, even if no one believes you can do it, you will go all out to prove it to others. 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 in Jiraiya-sensei's book, characters like Yuzuru-kun didn't have a good ending, and he told us not to learn from you, hehe."

As he spoke, he observed Hinata Yuzuru's expression. Seeing that he was not unhappy, he relaxed and laughed: "So, what do you think, Yuzuru-kun?"

"Only children make choices about me. I want them all!" Hinata Yuzuru calmly said these words that shocked Uzumaki Naruto, but after he finished speaking, he just shook his head and smiled.

He said leisurely: "Who knows, let's wait and see, maybe one of them will quit? Or just keep going like this, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Wow, scumbag." Naruto muttered to himself, and seeing that he was unhappy with him, he reached out and tapped his head. He didn't dodge, but made a sound of pain, with a smile in his eyes, and satisfied his mouth.

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: "What 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 won't be as bad as Yuzuru brother"

He was prepared to be hit on the forehead by Hinata Yuzuru's finger, and turned his head to look, only to see that the other party was just smiling inexplicably, looking at the leaves in the distance being blown by the wind without caring at all. After a moment of silence, 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 Jinchūriki?"

"Why do you say that?" Hinata Yuzuru looked at him calmly, but a hint of loss appeared on Naruto's face, and he lowered his head.

"A ninja like Gaara from the Sand Village who can use the tailed beast in his body to fight for the village at any time is a qualified Jinchūriki. As for me, I have no idea how to use the power of the tailed beast in my body. Teacher Jiraiya said that it is best for you to decide on this matter."

Hinata Yuzuru reached out his hand, rubbed his blond hair, thought for a moment, and then laughed: "I thought it was a small matter. Do you want to use the power of the tailed beast in your body? Well, you are 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 intelligence 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 beliefs and rationality when using power, you must also know what you need. "

"What do I need?" Naruto frowned, but Hyuga Yuzuru said bluntly: "If you pursue power just for the sake of power, sooner or later you will get lost in the 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 only felt that there was a light flickering in the blue eyes of Hinata Yuzuru in front of him, and the next moment, the world in front of him changed like a dizzy spin.

When he suddenly woke up and the dizziness ended, the world before his eyes had taken on a completely new look.

Although the two were still on the bench, Hinata Yuzuru was wearing a white casual kimono, with fluttering white hair and a relaxed look on his face.

Uzumaki Naruto lowered his head and was surprised to find that he was wearing a divine robe similar to the one worn by 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 really that great.

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-Tailed Fox."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared, leaving only a smiling voice echoing in the place: "Enjoy it, Sixth 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 was not sure, but he looked around and couldn't help but marvel: I have never heard of anyone whose illusion ability can reach this level.
Since it's an illusion, what did Yuzuru-kun say just now?

Six-six-six. The Sixth Hokage!?
