Naruto Arrows

"Ah, it's so delicious."

After throwing away the bones in his hands, Naruto licked his fingers and lips and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Ningji, you can definitely open a barbecue restaurant. Your barbecue is even more delicious than that of Yakiniku Q."

As he said this, he did not forget to give a thumbs up to Hinata Neji who made this roast chicken.

"Ha, thanks for the compliment."

Without exposing the fact that Naruto, a brat who was so poor that he had to come here to catch fish to feed himself, had no chance of entering the BBQ Q, Neji accepted his compliment with a smile.

"By the way, you haven't told me how this weapon called a bow is used?"

After suppressing the Five Zang Temple, Naruto finally remembered the question just now and couldn't help but ask again.

"Well, it just so happens that I have to train and hunt in the afternoon, so just come with me."

Looking at Naruto like this, he probably has to either wade in the cold stream to catch fish at night, or continue to be hungry. After thinking about it for a while, Neji said to him.

"Yeah."

Usually in the village, those peers would either avoid him, or discriminate and bully him. Now it is rare to find someone who is willing to play with him, so he is naturally very happy.

However, just as the two of them packed up, put out the fire, and were about to leave, the figures of several adults in the distance appeared in their eyes, and arrived in front of them within ten seconds.

After seeing the leader clearly, Neji couldn't help but frown.

. . .

"Hyuga Hizashi's son and the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki?"

Even in broad daylight, there was no sunlight shining down on the base base, which looked eerie and terrifying. Danzo Shimura listened to the news reported by his subordinates, with a bit of doubt and vigilance in his one eye.

"Could it be that everything that happened outside the Hyuuga family that day was the Hyuga clan's plan to give that brat a chance to come into contact with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?"

For Danzo Shimura, who is naturally suspicious, everyone except him is untrustworthy, especially wealthy families like Hinata and Uchiha.

Even in the past history, the Hyuga clan has always kept its peace and has not caused any trouble. Not long ago, they actively cooperated with the village and quelled the looming war at the expense of the life of the head of the branch family.

"Lord Danzo, the latest information on the Hyuga clan."

At this moment, a root member wearing a mask similar to the ANBU but slightly different came in and handed an envelope to Danzo.

"An emergency?"

Knowing that it was not time to submit the report yet, Danzo knew in his heart that an emergency had occurred in the Hyuga clan, so he quickly opened the envelope, took out the information, and quickly scanned it.

"Ok?"

After roughly reading this information, Danzo couldn't help but show a bit of surprise on his face.

This newly sent information tells what happened not long ago when Hyuga Hizashi led many clan elders to Hizashi's home.

And Hyuga Hizatsu seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the way the elders of the clan treat Hyuga Neji, and even directly scolds the elders openly.

This was obviously completely opposite to what he had just guessed.

"Continue to closely monitor the movements of the Hyuga clan and that brat, and report any information to me immediately."

But this obviously could not completely dispel his suspicions.

Who can guarantee that this won't be another show performed by the Hyuga clan to dispel suspicion?

. . .

"Hyuga Neji, the head of the family has summoned me."

Standing in front of Hyuga Neji, the leading Hyuga ninja looked indifferent and condescending, and spoke in a commanding tone.

The eyes of the two tribesmen behind him showed their disgust for Neji without hesitation.

This also made Naruto, who originally thought these were Hyuga Neji's enemies and was ready to help him escape at all costs, froze in place with a confused expression.

Obviously, he didn't understand why, even though he belonged to the same clan, these people looked at Neji with more disgust than the villagers looked at him.

"This is not necessary."

And just when several members of the Hyuga tribe felt that they had brought the notice and were preparing to return with Neji, they heard the same indifferent answer from Neji.

"I know why the head of the family is looking for me, so I would like you to help me tell the head of the family that the subsidies, living expenses and other things in the clan are not a matter of being withheld by those guys. I refuse to receive them."

As he spoke, he slowly put the short bow behind his back and picked up the quiver.

"Since we no longer owe each other anything, it's better to have less contact in the future."

With that said, he threw the quiver to Naruto, who was looking at him blankly, and turned to leave.

"Uzumaki Naruto, let's go."

Naruto subconsciously caught the quiver. Although he was full of curiosity, after taking a look at several Hyuga clan members, he quickly followed them.

"presumptuous!"

"Insanity."

Seeing such a presumptuous Hyuga Neji, the two Hyuga clan members were so angry that they wanted to rush out and teach him a lesson.

"Wait a moment."

However, as soon as the two took a step forward, they were stopped by the leader.

"what are you doing?!"

The two people's expressions suddenly changed and they looked at him in confusion.

"He just said that the yellow-haired kid next to him is called Uzumaki Naruto."

He explained with a serious expression.

"So what? He's just a brat."

But maybe the two of them didn't think of it for a while, or maybe they were blocked by anger and couldn't understand what he meant.

"Uzumaki, don't you think of something when you hear this last name?"

In desperation, he could only lower his voice, glanced at the two of them, and asked sternly.

"Uzumaki? Is it him?!"

Having been reminded to this point, it would obviously be too much for the two of them not to think of it again.

"Then what should we do?"

"Go back for the time being and report this matter to the head of the family and the elders."

Even without rolling his eyes, he could guess that there must be ANBU nearby, and he was confused and worried.

He was a little unsure whether Neji had deliberately revealed Uzumaki Naruto's name just now.

At the same time, he was even more worried about whether the three of them would cause trouble for Hinata.

. . .

"Ningji actually bumped into Naruto and became friends?"

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised to receive the ANBU's reward, and he also had a smile on his face.

"Hokage-sama, the Hyuga clan..."

The ANBU who was kneeling in front of him seemed a little worried.

They are also people who are used to darkness, and their way of thinking is somewhat similar to Shimura Danzo.

"Ha, even if your worries are true, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, both for the present and the future of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a good mood. He walked to the window and looked at the street outside the window with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"It is because of this bond that children like them, who may have doubts about the village because of their own encounters, can trust their companions and the village in the future, and grow into the support of their companions and the pillar of the village."
