Chapter 229 Long-lost meeting (for subscription)
"Uchiha Itachi still hasn't passed on any information from you? Information about the members of the organization..."
After the formal meeting,
Only Jiraiya and Tsunade were left in Hokage's office.
The relationship between the two of them is above friends, not lovers,
After the reunion of the old friends, because they have a common goal, the friendship between them becomes more unbreakable.
They all hope to get rid of the mess of Konoha as soon as possible, and then leave it to others.
So as Hokage, Jiraiya gave Tsunade a lot of authority, allowing her to know many things,
Of course, it also includes Uchiha Itachi's undercover work in Akatsuki.
Jiraiya sighed, "It used to be Danzo's roots who were in charge of handing over to him, but now..."
His expression was somewhat helpless, "The last time Uchiha Itachi entered the village, I didn't know that he was lurking in Akatsuki's organization as an undercover agent, so I beat him up."
"This also leads to the fact that he may not know that there are people in the village who know his identity. After all, both the old man and Shimura Danzō left too suddenly. If Naruto hadn't sorted out the daily notes left by the old man, there were very few remaining records. I don't even know."
"An undercover agent without any successors and no trace left, is Uchiha Itachi still an undercover agent now? Does he still feel that he is a member of Konoha?"
For this, Jiraiya could not confirm.
"These crap things the old man left behind are really annoying."
Pulling his gradually thinning white hair in distress, he looked very bored, "Let's not talk about whether Uchiha Itachi is willing to stand by our side, just talking about Uchiha Sasuke is enough for us to have a headache."
"That kid has good talent, and driven by the hatred of extermination, he dare not relax in the slightest. In addition, Naruto is chasing after him by his side."
"Talent, hard work, goals, competitors, he has already met the conditions needed to become a strong man, and he will never lose to you and me in future combat power."
"And if by then, he knows the truth, how should Konoha face him?"
Jiraiya's face is already showing a bit of age, with many wrinkles.
The best way, of course, is to watch him firmly as the village did to Uchiha Sasuke before.
Under the guise of protecting his life and safety, he was raised and disabled, and his growth was restricted.
But no matter from the point of view of right and wrong, or in terms of affection, Jiraiya, as the Fifth Hokage, cannot do anything to harm the family members of the hero.
If he really did this kind of thing, then after knowing what happened to Naruto in his childhood, the self who confronted Third Hokage aggressively might become like a clown.
"Well... the old man is like this."
Leaning against the window, Tsunade squinted at the flow of people below from a place where the sun could not shine, "In addition to Uchiha Sasuke's matter, there is also Naruto, if not for my master staying in Konoha, he might follow Hyuga's people , ran to the country of rain."
"One by one, can't they cause less trouble and not complicate things? That's why I don't want to go back to the village! This feeling is aggrieved and uncomfortable!"
…
"I thought you would follow me willfully, but I didn't expect you would choose to stay in the village."
Standing in Hyuga's clan, Naruto, who had returned from the Land of Rain, looked at the people carrying luggage back and forth in a daze.
Although it is not life and death, but a simple migration,
But when he thought that everyone would no longer be a village, no longer belong to the same faction, he felt inexplicably melancholy.
"After all, this is the village that my father and mother once protected."
Naruto turned his head, "And there is Tsunade-sensei, and... Jiraiya."
Ryosuke hesitated for a moment, "It seems that you have started to like this village?"
"I can't even say I like it."
Naruto shook his head, "With that kind of past, how could he fall in love with this village."
"I'm just used to staying here. Compared to going to a strange place, I still choose to stay in this village that I haven't left since I was born."
"Of course, if my combat strength reaches a certain stage in the future and I can't go any further, I might consider leaving the village and go out to find a solution."
After a pause, he added, "And in my capacity, if I leave with you Hyuga, maybe the relationship between Hyuga and Konoha will come to an impasse."
"I don't want to embarrass the teacher. When I think of the possibility of being caught in the middle and not being able to make a choice, it is difficult for me to continue thinking about this issue."
Very sensible choice, very rational thinking.
"Congratulations."
Ryosuke was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, "You have really improved, you don't need me to talk too much anymore."
The words that were intended to persuade her were useless.
"Uzumaki... Naruto?"
At this time, a suspicious voice sounded from far to near.
The slightly familiar voice made Naruto turn around, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a girl with long fluttering hair walking steadily towards this side.
"...Hinata?"
He looked at the noble and upright girl in front of him with some uncertainty,
The performance of this girl is completely different from the girl in memory who has been relying on Ryosuke.
"Long time no see, Naruto-san, we haven't seen each other since graduation, right?"
Coming to them, Hinata greeted Naruto politely.
Although Naruto often visits Hyuga's house,
But basically, the purpose of his coming to Hyuga is only Ryosuke, so she later got involved in the affairs of the clan, and rarely had the opportunity to meet this childhood classmate and husband's friend.
"You've changed a lot."
After Hinata spoke, Naruto confirmed her identity, and smiled kindly, "There is a feeling... Utatane Koharu's advisor."
After a pause, he felt that something was wrong again, "I'm referring to the aspect of temperament, giving me a feeling that a task will be given at any time, and I will go to carry it out."
"You have changed a lot."
Hinata also smiled gently, "It's completely different from when I was in school."
The meeting of long-lost classmates did not make the two of them very enthusiastic, but extremely polite.
Although there is Ryosuke, they are not very familiar with each other, and they may not even speak more than ten sentences.
"Father called us back urgently, it seems that there is something to announce."
After some courtesy, Hinata turned to look at Ryosuke next to him, "I guess this conversation may be a bit long, and it will take a while."
The implication is to remind Ryosuke that if he wants to go to dinner with Naruto, he may have to make another appointment.
"I see, you go back first."
Ryosuke nodded and understood what she meant, but he didn't intend to go home immediately.
Hinata also seemed to expect that he would not leave immediately, and after greeting Naruto politely, she turned around and left.
Looking at the back of her leaving, Naruto tilted his head, "I always feel...very strange."
"After all, we haven't seen each other for a while. You didn't say a few words when you were in school, didn't you?"
Ryosuke casually Kaidō, found a small notebook, and began to record the unfinished work in hand.
"No, no, I didn't mean us."
Naruto waved his hand, "I mean...you two."
He turned his head to look at Ryosuke seriously, "A normal couple shouldn't be so unfamiliar, right? She seems to be very indifferent to you."
"When you were in school, you seemed to have a very good relationship. Could it be... that you have entered a weak period of marriage? I heard that such a stage often occurs between husband and wife."
"As a man, you should be more accommodating to your wife, Ryosuke."
In response to his persuasive sound of advice, Ryosuke stopped recording and looked at Naruto strangely, "...you are single, are you teaching me experience?"
"Hey hey hey, although I don't have any practical experience, I still have a lot of theoretical knowledge, okay?" Naruto retorted, "Jiraiya wrote about making love to heaven, and I read every word of it no less than a hundred times. gone."
"Senior Jiraiya?"
Ryosuke half raised his eyes, "Hasn't he been alone for so many years?"
But he gave up this dispute again, "Forget it, the relationship between Hinata and I is very good, you don't need to worry about it, but... didn't you look down on these romantic things before? Why? You got the hang of it ?”
His eyes looked at Naruto slightly.
"Cough...that's because I'm too young."
Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment at Ryosuke's gaze, "Actually, on the way to the Land of Rain this time, I discovered a lot of things that I never noticed before."
"Although I have experience in joining the team and going out to perform, but at that time it was only as a Genin,"
"And this time I went out with a large team to perform tasks. During this process, I saw a lot of problems that I would never have thought about before, such as scouting before setting up camp, cooperation during battle, etc. These are things that I did not have before. To care and understand."
"Especially in Hyuga's team, when the leader issued an order, everyone in the team coordinated and executed it, which really shocked me a lot, and made me really feel a kind of team, The power of companions!"
Looking at Naruto's expression when he explained, Ryosuke could probably guess his emotional changes.
Is it really lonely...
Compared with owning a family and owning a family,
In the first half of his life, Naruto can be said to be the only friend like him.
Although later, after facing some crises, he gradually shifted his focus to improving his strength, but after all, humans live in groups, and he is still relatively young.
When seeing other people around you gather together in such a harmonious way to face the enemy, of course you will have thoughts of envy and longing.
"I used to always feel that even if no one likes me, I can live well by myself, and emotions will only drag down my growth."
After roughly explaining the reason, Naruto said with some self-mockery: "Even I thought that family would be a burden for you, Ryosuke, and the relationship between Hinata and you would also be a stumbling block for you to become stronger."
"But I didn't expect that I was the first to realize the mistake. It is impossible for a person to be alone all the time, especially living in such a big environment."
"To be honest... After realizing this, I am a little envious of the relationship between you and Hinata. Thinking about having someone who can speak the truth by my side, I am actually looking forward to it. "
"Looks like you're reaching puberty too."
Ryosuke laughed, and turned his gaze back to the notebook in his hand, "When a man reaches a certain age, the male hormones in his body will promote the rapid development of his body."
"In addition to the growth of the body, there will also be different levels of changes in the heart, and you will start to desire contact with the opposite sex around you, and even have the desire to mate..."
"Stop, stop!"
Before Ryosuke could introduce the general situation, Naruto interrupted his explanation in a panic, "Hey, hey, can you stop saying such explicit and shameful words in such a calm tone. "
These simple knowledge popularizations are like a passionate piece of music, straightforward and explicit.
It is completely different from the soothing symphony of making love to heaven, the long and long tune.
"Forget it, I should go back."
Seeing the smile on Ryosuke's face, Naruto turned around angrily.
But just a few steps away, he turned his head and reminded Ryosuke, "But before leaving the village, you must contact me."
"For so many years, thank you very much for your help. Without you, I might have become a tool in the hands of some people."
"No matter what happens in the future, before I leave, I must solemnly treat you to a meal and practice for you."
"Got it, got it." Ryosuke said without raising his head, and the record book in his hand had densely recorded the personnel statistics and material statistics of this batch of relocation teams.
Although Naruto said very solemnly,
But in fact, even if he leaves Konoha, he can come back at any time, so the feeling of parting is not so strong.
For the time being, Hyuga has no intention of destroying the relationship with Konoha,
And even if the relationship is somewhat broken, with Ryosuke's ability, he can sneak into Konoha at any time without being discovered.
After completely recording the situation of this batch of migration, Ryosuke put away the record book and prepared to go home.
But at this time, he suddenly remembered the problem of Xiao's organization, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
"I almost forgot one thing. Maybe when I'm eating, I need to ask Naruto about his current relationship with Nine Tails."
If you plan to indulge the actions of the Akatsuki organization, let them collect Qitail beasts, and call out the sacred tree, then you will definitely need the Nine Tails on Naruto.
Regarding the problem that Jinchūriki's vitality will be taken away after the tailed beast is pulled away, Ryosuke can easily solve it now.
But... After all, he still has to consider Naruto's feelings. If Naruto has a good relationship with the Nine Tails in his body, then maybe he needs to think of other ways to fill the gap.
For example, you can use Reanimation Jutsu to summon Namikaze Minato and offer the other half of his Nine Tails as a sacrifice.
