XX-level Hokage

Chapter 224: Sunflower

"What do you still remember?" Ya Yu asked gently.

"I remember being born in a village. Later, something happened to the village, and an uncle sent me out. He told me to go to Konoha and find a person named Hyuga Hiashi," Mashiro said in a low voice.

"Do you remember your age?" Hinata continued to ask. "12, I'm 12 years old this year." "Mashiro" answered obediently.

"12 years old, the same age as Boruto. Then what happened to you just now?" Hinata asked softly.

"That uncle gave it to me. He said that the way I looked just now was safer," Mashiro said softly. Hearing Mashiro's answer, Yongyou had a vague idea in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Hinata seemed to have made up her mind and asked with a smile, "Mashiro, do you want to live with me?" "Really?" Mashiro said with a "surprise".

"Of course I can. Although you may not know it yet, look into my eyes, we are of the same kind. I will take good care of you," Hinata said, stroking Mashiro's hair.

"A fellow clansman?" Mashiro seemed somewhat puzzled.

"That's right. From today onwards, your name will be Hyuga Mashiro. I'll process your discharge from the hospital in a little while, and then I'll take you to my home," Hinata said softly.

"Mmm!" Mashiro nodded heavily.

After chatting for a while, Hinata walked out of the hospital room. "Did you find out anything?" Naruto asked.

“I already know who she is,” Hinata said softly. “Is that so? That’s wonderful,” Naruto said happily.

"I once heard my father say that our Hyuga clan was not one of the original founding clans of Konoha, but entered Konoha after it was established."

At that time, our Hyuga clan lived in the secluded mountains, never engaging in wars with other clans, until a clan head named Hyuga Iwajin emerged, leading the Hyuga clan out of their seclusion and joining Konoha.

However, there have always been various opinions within the Hyuga clan regarding whether all of them left their secluded place to come to Konoha.

Later, the Hyuga clan even forgot the location of their secluded dwelling, and gradually forgot about this matter. Mashiro might be a Hyuga clanswoman who emerged from that secluded dwelling. "Hinayuki slowly recounted, "That makes sense." Hearing this, Naruto nodded slightly.

"So, did something happen at the Hyuga clan's secluded place because she came to Konoha? Should I send other ninjas over?" Naruto continued.

"No need. From what she said, something must have happened to the Hyuga clan in their secluded place. She was the only one who escaped, and she has lost her memory. Let's wait until she regains her memory before we talk about it," Hinata said softly.

"I'll do as you say. I'll arrange temporary accommodation for her first, and then we'll make further plans," Naruto said with a smile.

"Oh, right, Naruto." Hinata suddenly lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed. "What's wrong?" Naruto asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I want to adopt her,” Ya Yu said softly after a moment’s hesitation.

"So that's what it is. You can decide for yourself. There's no need to be so embarrassed." Naruto said with a smile, stroking Hinata's hair, which made Vii's face turn slightly red.

Meanwhile, Mashiro was checking the four panels.

Relationship: Family (adoption)

Favorability Reward (50): Nine-Tailed Fox Mode Favorability Reward (90): Nine-Tailed Heavy Particle Mode Gently putting away the panel, Mashiro lay down on the bed again.

For Mashiro, coming to this time was mainly for two things.

First, it absorbed the Ten-Tails' juvenile form to restore its full power. Second, it altered the world, connecting it to the past.

Of course, Mashiro would have no objection if she could obtain some powerful favorability rewards to enhance her strength.

Therefore, Mashiro had planned from the beginning to stay with Naruto and Hinata's family and obtain a suitable identity before making any further plans.

Mashiro was already prepared to use her "bewitching charm" on him. But unexpectedly, Hinata took the initiative to suggest that they live together.

"Where should I begin? Oh well, I'll just live a peaceful life for a while first," Mashiro muttered to herself, gently closing her eyes.

Mashiro is an extremely cautious person. She is not at her best right now, so she will not make a move rashly until she understands the strength of the enemy she may be facing.

Hinata quickly completed the discharge procedures for Mashiro and then took her back to the Uzumaki family's villa.

"This is Naruto and my home, and it's where you'll live from now on," Hinata said softly. Hearing Hinata's words, Mashiro looked "curiously" at the small villa in front of her.

Hinata then led Mashiro into the house. In the living room, Himawari was lying on the sofa watching TV.

"Hibiscus, come and greet the guests." Hinata called softly as they entered the corridor.

"coming."

Sunflower immediately got up and ran over.

Then they saw Mashiro, and their eyes met. "This is?" Himawari asked curiously.

"Her name is Hyuga Mashiro, she's your older sister, and we'll be living together from now on," Hinata said with a smile.

"That's wonderful, Mashiro-neechan!" Himawari exclaimed brightly. But Mashiro seemed somewhat stunned, a hint of disbelief in her eyes. [Name: Uzumaki Himawari]

Gender: Female Age: 10 Favorability: 40

Relationship: Sisters (adopted)

Affection Reward (50): Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack Affection Reward (90): Amano Minaka

Mashiro is very familiar with the rewards brought by Sunflower's affection level; they belong to Kaguya's bloodline limit.

The Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike is a powerful taijutsu technique that concentrates chakra in the palm and releases it into the air to form countless powerful punches. When combined with the Byakugan, it has no weaknesses and is the strongest taijutsu that combines offense and defense.

Amenominaka possesses the supernatural power to freely weave together space.

Why did Kaguya's abilities appear as a reward in Naruto and Hinata's child? "What's wrong, Mashiro?" Hinata asked softly.

Mashiro snapped out of her daze and saw Himawari in front of her, who looked somewhat confused and nervous.

Mashiro's sudden daze and confusion made Himawari think she had done something wrong. "It's nothing. It's just that Himawari is so cute that I was a little dazed," Mashiro said with a smile, then stepped forward and gently hugged Himawari, saying softly, "Nice to meet you, Himawari."

Feeling Zhenzi's gentle attitude and aura, Sunflower relaxed and smiled. Tian, ​​watching the two embracing, smiled with some relief.

For some reason, she had a deep affection for Mashiro, as if they were family. That's why Hinata chose to adopt Mashiro, considering she rarely interfered in Naruto's work.

Then, through the movement of the light, Wei saw the alarm clock on the cabinet and remembered that he had made a promise to go shopping with Sakura and Namino.

Just as she was about to leave after settling Mashiro in, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Mashiro, would you like to come with me to meet the other two aunties?" "Sure," Mashiro said with a smile, handing over a sunflower.

Chapter 225: Time Passes By and Never Returns

Sakura and Ino are chatting in a coffee shop in Konoha.

"So Sasuke really has it tough," Ino said with a sigh.

As a high-ranking official in Konoha, Ino was well aware of Sasuke's contributions to the village. It could be said that Sasuke played an extremely important role in Konoha's current state.

“I know he’s had a tough time, but every time he comes back, he has that attitude. He just says a few words and leaves again. He couldn’t even find time to come for Sarada’s birthday.” Although Sakura could understand Sasuke’s actions, she still felt resentful.

Namino could only sigh slightly at this.

"Sakura, Ino, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I just finished some things, so I'm a little late." Hinata's voice came, and Hinata sat down opposite the two with Mashiro.

"It's alright, we just arrived recently. By the way, who is this?" Namino said with a smile, then noticed Mashiro beside Hinata. "Her name is Hyuga Mashiro, she's considered one of my clans. For certain reasons, Naruto and I adopted her," Hinata said softly. "Hello, both of you, my name is Hyuga Mashiro," Mashiro said with a smile.

"What a lovely child! May I call you Mashiro-chan?" Sakura said happily, seemingly delighted by Mashiro's address. "Of course," Mashiro replied with a smile.

Honestly, Ino felt a little helpless looking at Sakura, who was secretly pleased. Sakura really hadn't changed.

Then, looking at Mashiro, she smiled and said, "Mashiro-chan, my name is Yamanaka Ino, and her name is Haruno Sakura. You can call us Aunt Ino and Aunt Sakura." "You can call me 'older sister' too," Sakura quickly added.

Although Sakura and Hinata changed their surnames after getting married, their close friends still tend to call them by their original names.

"What were you talking about just now?" Hinata ordered a coffee and a milk tea for Mashiro, handed the menu to the waiter, and then asked Ino and Sakura.

“We were talking about Sasuke,” Sakura said, her face becoming melancholy again at the mention of Sasuke.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke hasn't been back to the village for more than half a year. Hinata, do you have any news about him?" Ino glanced at Sakura and asked Hinata.

"According to reports, Sasuke seems to have recently discovered a very important ruin, and he'll probably return to Konoha after exploring it," said Vita. She understood Sakura very well; Naruto was usually very busy and didn't have time to go home often, so she would help Sakura with things related to Sasuke.

"That will probably take a while, but it's good to have something to look forward to," Sakura said.

"By the way, Mashiro should be going to the Ninja Academy too, but at her age, starting from the first year is too old. If she has a ninja background, she can transfer directly to the same class as Inojin. But Inojin's class has already been assigned to classes, so it's not easy to find a teacher to lead them," Ino said softly.

"My plan is the same as Ino's: to have Mashiro transfer directly to Boruto's class and join Hanabi's team. Hanabi can also teach her the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist," Hinata said with a smile.

“Indeed, it would be very suitable for Hanabi to lead the team, but I don’t know if the four-person team can participate in the upcoming Chunin Exams,” Sakura interjected.

Chunin Exams?! Oh right, there's that too. I'd completely forgotten about it. Looks like I'll have to give Inojin some special training later. "Being so focused on the sensory department, Namino even forgot about the upcoming Chunin Exams."

"I won't give Sarada any special training," Sakura said, somewhat helplessly.

There's no way around it; Sarada isn't good at any of the powers she's skilled in, whether it's the Sharingan, Lightning Release, or Fire Release.

Ino noticed Sakura's helplessness and comforted her, "Saara has always been at the top of her class at the Ninja Academy, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Actually, there's no need to rush. Just let things take their course. Have you forgotten about our Chunin Exams? Only Shikamaru passed and became a Chunin."

"Whether it's Naruto and Sasuke, or the three of us, we all failed." Wei You took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.

“Indeed, a lot happened during that Chunin Exams, and it created many interesting memories. Do you remember the match between Naruto and Kiba?” Namino suddenly said.

"Of course I remember. That was the most humiliating defeat Kiba ever suffered. Speaking of Kiba, he's been having another fight with his girlfriend lately," Sakura chimed in. "A fight? Didn't they just make up not long ago?" Hinata asked, somewhat surprised.

"There's no way around it. One of them's a dog faction and the other a cat faction. If it were any other ninja, they could just tolerate some things, but Kiba's feelings for Akamaru are exceptionally deep, and there are some things he simply cannot stand," Sakura said, shrugging her shoulders.

"There's no way around it; it's precisely because of his personality that he's one of the few among our group of old friends who hasn't gotten married," Ino said. The three of them chatted for a long time, then went shopping together, ate desserts, and didn't part ways until evening.

"I had a lot of fun today. Let's meet up again next time. And Mashiro, if you need any help, you can come to Aunt Ino." Ino said with a smile.

"That's right, goodbye Hinata, /Bye~, Mashiro-chan." Sakura waved and said. See you later, Sakura, Ino. Hinata said gently.

"Goodbye, Aunt Ino, Aunt Sakura," Mashiro said softly. Then the three of them parted ways.
