In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Haiyi, is everything the Ninja God said true?"

Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know how to answer, so he could only sigh and give a vague reply.

"It can't be true. How could something like the Ninja God exist? Someone must have done it on purpose. Anyway, the village will investigate thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

"Rino." Yamanaka Haiyi dressed neatly and prepared to go out. He held the door with his hand, turned around and looked back at the lady and said.

"Go spend some time with your daughter. Ino must be terrified."

"Well, be careful on the road."

With a bang, the door closed.

As Yamanaka Inoichi walked on the road, the originally quiet Konoha Village had already become chaotic. The villagers walked on the streets, talking about the diary of the God of Ninja with horror on their faces.

"Does the God of Ninja really exist? It's been two days, it doesn't seem fake." Villager Jingdi Zuoai said with some fear.

"Who knows? The village hasn't given any explanation yet, but I don't think it's fake." The owner of the red bean meatball shop said with dark circles under his eyes as he stood at the door of his shop.

"Because of this, I didn't sleep all night. How can I sleep peacefully?"

"That's right, we don't know where the Hokage is, and he hasn't appeared to say a word yet." Another villager, Shukami Ryuu, sighed.

"So, are the words spoken by the Ninja God true?" Villager Tian Jian Tanyou asked in a low voice, "Regarding the secrets of that adult, and the Hyuga clan..."

Upon hearing this, the villager Jingdi Zuoai, who spoke first, looked frightened and spoke nervously.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. If the Anbu hears you, you'll be taken away. You can't discuss the Hyuga clan's affairs either. Just think about it in your mind."

"Yeah, yeah, let's not talk about this kind of thing." Shushang Liujiu echoed.

Yamanaka Haiyi, who was passing by, took in the villagers' conversation, his expression growing even more serious. He had long heard of the Hyuga clan's slavery system, and it was indeed an unacceptable ninjutsu.

Things like turning one's loved ones into slaves are indeed a very taboo thing, so much so that people in Konoha who know about it subconsciously avoid talking about it.

Over time, most people in Konoha were unaware of this, but those who survived the Third Shinobi World War knew it very well.

It was a curse called the caged bird. If the cursed person showed any disrespect to the group that cast the curse, the caster would immediately punish him or kill him.

This is the current situation of the Hyuga clan. Only the eldest son or daughter of the main family can become the main family member, and all other clan members will become branch families.

The so-called branch family is the slave of the main family. This system is the reason why Hyuga has been able to survive for thousands of years. They rely on the caged bird to obtain the absolute loyalty of the branch family.

Absolute loyalty means no betrayal. If a traitor is found, the clan will immediately kill him with just a thought.

When faced with a life-or-death situation, the branch family members will be forced to fight to the death to protect the main family and evacuate. It is precisely because of this that the Byakugan bloodline can survive and continue no matter what happens.

The strange thing is that when the Hyuga main family came to the Hyuga Hiashi area, the eldest daughter did not seem to become the main family, and the second daughter was not forced to separate from the family, but was dragged along.

As for why it was delayed, Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know. He had only heard about it while traveling, and he didn't care about the secrets of the Hyuga clan.

All he could do was to catch the guy who claimed to be the God of Ninja as soon as possible and let the village return to peace and tranquility.

At least we need to restore the surface of peace; it doesn't matter what happens underwater.

The atmosphere in the Hyuga clan was extremely depressing. Inside and outside the clan territory, it was dead silent than ever before, as if it had fallen into a suffocating silence.

The moment the morning sunlight shone into the courtyard, Hyuga Neji sat in front of the mirror, calmly gazing at the blue caged bird seal on his forehead.

.......

"I slept so well!" Naruto, wearing teddy bear pajamas, yawned on the bed and stretched.

The evil ninja god scratched his butt without any grace and began to wash lazily. Looking at his messy hair in the mirror, he yawned again and muttered.

"There are still fourteen D-rank missions to complete. I should go get one today to avoid being discovered using a power leveler."

Chapter 32 God is a Pervert (Don’t hesitate to skip if you don’t like it)

"Naruto!"

Just as Naruto was about to enter the Hokage Building, he was suddenly stopped by someone. Turning around, he saw that it was the new generation of Ino, Shika, and Chou.

The three of them stood outside the Hokage Building, seemingly waiting for someone.

Shikamaru leaned against the wall and waved at him lazily, wearing that sexy fishnet lining and with the same dead fish eyes as always on his face.

Ino stood there distracted with an uneasy look on her face, while Choji was still the same, holding a bag of potato chips in his arms and crunching the food into his mouth.

"Why are you here?" Naruto was familiar with the three of them, and without any courtesy, he reached out to take snacks from Choji's bag of potato chips.

Crunch, Naruto took a bite. Shikamaru didn't even look at Naruto, but looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Asuma has something urgent to do, so we can only wait for him here."

After saying that, Shikamaru asked Naruto again.

"That's the thing, Naruto, you should know it too, right?"

"which one?"

"That guy who calls himself the God of Ninja, just said two words and the village is in such chaos."

"Oh, that." Naruto scratched his head and said with a bright smile, "I thought it was someone's prank!"

"How can the ability to let the whole village receive the message be an ordinary prank?" Shikamaru complained, holding his head.

"It's you who are so slow, Naruto."

"But the Ninja God is probably a super pervert, he's been talking about things like long legs and a friend's sister."

"No one will believe it anyway. It's just nonsense." Naruto waved his hand casually and then looked at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru raised his brows, bit off the potato chips in one bite, and said foolishly.

"The ninja way of the last potato chip."

"Only someone like you who knows nothing would not believe it, Naruto." Shikamaru said, "The story about the Hyuga clan is true."

"What's going on?" Naruto asked, pretending to be clueless.

"that is......"

"Shikamaru, teacher Asuma is out!" Choji suddenly shouted.

"Naruto, let's talk about it next time. We have to leave first!" Shikamaru looked in the direction of the Hokage Building and sure enough, Asuma had come out.

So he waved to Naruto and followed the pace of Choji and Ino who were walking away.

Ino didn't speak to Naruto the whole time, nor did she even look at him. Naruto didn't care, and after the three of them left, he turned and entered the Hokage Building.

The building was in a mess, with ANBU ninjas and ordinary Chunin walking around with various documents in their hands. Occasionally, you could hear them nervously discussing something about the God of Ninja, and occasionally you could hear words like "Hinata".

Naruto tilted his head, then quietly walked upstairs to the mission hall to take on a D-rank mission. Kakashi had punished him by requiring him to complete twenty D-rank missions before he could return to Team 7.

The D-rank mission was not difficult. As Naruto was walking up the stairs and thinking about what today's D-rank mission would be, he suddenly heard someone coming down the stairs cursing loudly.

"The higher-ups told me to investigate within a day, and told me exactly where to look! If that damned Ninja God falls into my hands, I'll torture him mercilessly!"

The scarred burly man named Morino Ibiki went downstairs with his men from the torture department and just passed by Naruto who was going upstairs.

"That's so scary." Naruto felt a chill and became even more determined to hide his tracks. He must not let anyone catch him with any evidence that he was the God of Ninja.

He was even more apprehensive about the head of the torture department, Morino Ibiki. It wasn't because Morino Ibiki was so strong, but because this man was a true pervert!

A big black man who is about 1.8 meters tall, who in Japanese movies would be played as a strong neighbor who moved in, but in private he is actually a masochist.

His torture skills not only tortured his enemies, but also tortured himself.

Shit! Naruto was terrified just thinking about it. A sturdy man had a look of both smugness and pain on his face. It was so disgusting that he might as well just kill him.

"This is the mission scroll, please take it." The staff at the mission hall handed the mission to Naruto with a good attitude.

"Ah."

Naruto walked out of the Hokage Building and opened the mission scroll. The mission was to pick up trash.

Where does Konoha get so much trash to pick up?

After struggling for a while, Naruto reluctantly embarked on the road of picking up trash. In the hottest days of August, under the scorching sun, Naruto gave up in a short while.

He hid under the shade of a tree, staring blankly at the blue sky. After a while, he threw down the garbage bag in his hand and left alone.

"Ah! So cool!" Naruto bought two ice cream assassins from a convenience store and left in a leisurely manner under the owner's surprised gaze.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, the heat immediately hit me.

Naruto, who had nothing to do, simply squatted in front of the convenience store and ate two ice creams, making the naughty kid next to him cry out of envy.

Naruto turned his head and looked at the four children who were standing in the sun and were tanned as dark as melon rinds. He glanced at their dirty clothes and his eyes turned slightly.

"come over."

Seeing the yellow-haired man eating two expensive ice creams waving at them, they looked at each other to confirm that he was calling them.

In the end, I was attracted by the sight of Naruto licking two ice creams in one hand.

"Do you want to eat it?" Naruto shook the ice cream in his hand.

The four children were not much younger than Naruto, three boys and one girl, and looked to be only eight or nine years old, with their hair and clothes a little messy.

It doesn't take much to guess the identity of this group: the orphans of Konoha.

"Yes." said the leading boy.

"I can treat each of you to ice cream, but you have to answer me a question," said Naruto.

The children hesitated for a moment and then nodded one after another.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and glanced at the four people, wondering if the protagonist of a certain orphanage would appear among these orphans?

"What's the next sentence of 'odd changes, evens remain the same'?"

------

The four children looked at each other, and no one knew the answer.

Naruto looked disappointed when no one could answer him, but he still went back into the store and bought five popsicles, one for each of the people present, including himself.

The four children and Naruto squatted at the door of the store, licking the ice cream without any image.

"Do you want to eat ice cream every day?"

"miss you!"

"miss you!"

"miss you!"

"think."

Four pairs of bright eyes stared at Naruto. Naruto smiled and said to them.

"Then you have to do me a favor."

Naruto was lying on a hammock under the slanting orange sunset, with an eight-year-old girl standing beside him, fanning him from time to time.

The three boys were running towards Naruto, sweating profusely and carrying garbage bags, and shouted happily.

"Boss, we've picked them all up!"

Chapter 33: Will of Fire, Ninja World Trash (Note: Feel free to skip if you don't like it)

Naruto woke up from his hammock and seeing that it was getting late, he waved to the four little leeks he had just collected and said.

"Come on, I'll treat you guys to some ramen."

"it is good!"

There was another round of cheers, and four green leeks followed him, walking towards Ichiraku Ramen not far away with excitement on their faces.

He opened the curtain, patted Yile's head and was about to say welcome, but when he looked up, he saw Naruto leading four dirty children in.

Shouda Yile was stunned at first, then his expression returned to normal and he asked enthusiastically.

"What would the guests like to eat?"

Naruto actually didn't like ramen very much. He got tired of it after eating it a few times. Fortunately, he wasn't picky about food. Besides, he also wanted to get close to the hand-held Ichiraku.

Maybe the real surname of this uncle selling ramen is Otsutsuki. After all, any ninja who has never eaten Ichiraku Ramen will surely die.

For this reason, Naruto always eats ramen with a pilgrimage mentality.

The four children seemed a little reserved. They didn't dare to speak while standing behind Naruto. They just glanced timidly at the price list on the wall.
