Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

(This chapter is an excessive chapter, a daily story, and may be a little watery)

It seems that life has changed a little bit again.

Naruto always felt that there were some changes around him.

For example, Sasuke.

He may have really come to his senses.

He met Sasuke when he was three years old. From the beginning of acquaintance, playing, and competing with his elder brothers, to training together, competing, and understanding each other after entering the ninja school, among the many bonds established by Naruto, the line of bond with Sasuke It's definitely thicker and tighter.

Especially when it is known that they are the contemporary reincarnations of Asura and Indra respectively, and are brothers who are not related by blood, it becomes even more fun.

In terms of age, Sasuke is the elder brother, and Indra is also Asura's elder brother. But in reality, Naruto is more precocious and stronger than Sasuke, and he often plays the role of the elder brother.

Sometimes Naruto is always worried that Sasuke really has become a 'gay idiot'. In his eyes, including Itachi, almost all the people who are close to him are boys.

When doing training, he likes to compete with Naruto and Xiao Li. When doing strategic thinking training, he always fights with Shikamaru with red eyes. After the physical training, he puffs up his cheeks and challenges Hinata with Choji.

The last one is related to girls, but Hinata has a master, and she will refresh the previous record every time, giving Sasuke a new round of blows.

Hinata, who had purified her Byakugan and advanced her reincarnation, seemed to have a better appetite than before, but that didn't matter.

What's important is that Sasuke is enlightened.

Since Itachi and Izumi established their relationship and confirmed their engagement, he quickly transformed from a brother-controlling, ascetic, cold-blooded Uchiha brother, and a steely straight man whose women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword, to a normal man. Character boy.

His eyes finally no longer only focus on the strong, but on those men who are better than him in various fields.

Yes, in a casual chat, Sasuke revealed to Naruto his views on Hinata and Karin. They were the only two girls that Sasuke played better. Ino was too weak. I was sorry that she was not selected. among the list.

For Hinata, Sasuke is willing to consider her an insurmountable mountain in the cooking world and someone he looks up to. He is even willing to call her 'big brother' when it comes to cooking!

As for Xiang Phosphorus... ah, I'm sorry. Although he is quite talented in the sealing technique and is even second to none among his peers, due to malnutrition and physical overdraft when he was a child, his performance is too mediocre. Unsurprisingly, her gender is ambiguous in Sasuke's eyes, and she is a good brother.

"Why did you suddenly think of treating Hinata and me to ramen today?"

When the three of them sat down at the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, Naruto asked Sasuke somewhat unexpectedly.

"Uncle Hand, please prepare 23 bowls of pork-flavored barbecued pork ramen for me, as well as a bowl of salt-flavored ramen and a portion of three-color dumplings."

After his opponent reported the food to his uncle, Naruto turned his head and found that Sasuke seemed to be lost in thought at this moment.

"Are you in trouble?"

"A little." Sasuke nodded, and then his eyes moved back and forth between Naruto and Hinata.

"How did you two meet in the first place? I don't think I've ever heard you talk about it."

"This one?"

Naruto glanced at Hinata and smiled at her.

"This has to start from a period of time before my father came back. It was snowing that day and no one played with me, so I wandered around the village alone, and finally sat on the swing and dangled in a daze."

"I don't know how long it took, but the cold wind at that time made my body a little stiff, and the scarf couldn't stop the wind from blowing into my clothes."

"Later, I heard very familiar voices not far away. They were the three bad guys who usually bullied me. But that day, they surrounded a girl, pointed at her and made fun of her. "

"At this time, the great hero Naruto Uzumaki of Justice will take action."

"You knocked them down with three punches and two kicks, and then the hero saved the beauty?" Sasuke looked at Naruto and asked.

"Ah..." Naruto scratched his temples, looking a little embarrassed.

"Didn't I tell you that I had been blowing cold wind on the swing for too long and my body was stiff, so I accidentally didn't hit them, but I finally succeeded in driving away those bad things."

"Don't tell me it's because they turned around and bullied you, and finally left by yourself after enough bullying?"

Sasuke seemed to find something interesting about Naruto's explanation.

"Naruto-kun was very handsome back then."

Hinata, who opened her mouth to help Naruto softly, moved slightly closer to Naruto, gently reached out under the table, held Naruto's palm, and transferred a touch of warmth.

"That's about it anyway."

Although he was a little embarrassed to think about it now, Naruto, who didn't hold a grudge, didn't intend to settle old scores. The past was over, and if it hadn't been for that encounter, he wouldn't have known Hinata.

Before Minato came back, Naruto was just an orphan who did not live in the orphanage, and Hinata was the white-eyed princess held in the hands of the Hyuga clan. If there were no accidents, there would not be any connection between them. .

"They can be regarded as childhood sweethearts in a sense. In other words, our acquaintance was an unexpected encounter, but life is full of surprises like this."

After completing the summary, Naruto, who realized that something was indeed wrong, looked at Sasuke with a change in his eyes.

"Fool GAY!" Naruto's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"How much?" A confused Sasuke responded with a confused look.

"You've finally come to your senses. Dad, I'm very pleased."

Sasuke's eyes were as wide as copper bells... (Ahem, no singing allowed) Sasuke almost couldn't hold back his thinking posture and leaned against the wall.

"What are you talking about! You want to see my Wan again..."

"The three-color meatballs are here." Iris trotted over and delivered Sasuke's favorite dessert meatballs. He glanced at them curiously and then left briskly.

"Cough cough!"

Sasuke, who picked up a bunch of meatballs and stuffed them into his mouth, fell into silence, but looking at the blush on Sasuke's face that could not be concealed, Naruto probably understood.

"Counting the time, it's been a long time, Sasuke."

"In the second year after dad came back, we went to ninja school together, and now, we are about to graduate."

"Time seems to be slipping away. The whole world is changing all the time, and it's changing very fast."

"Although the world has become peaceful, the original five major countries have become five major regions. Even children do not need to worry about so-called bandits when they are walking outside. People live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy a happy and peaceful life."

"But...we all know it."

"Peace is only temporary, and threats are never far away from us. The time left for us may only be ten years, maybe more. After all, Otsutsuki has determined that there is a problem in the ninja world and has sent a real strong man to attack. It probably takes a little more time, right?"

"We don't actually have much time, Sasuke, we really don't have much time."

"But in this limited time...Dad told me something before, life is short, enjoy yourself while you can, and the happiness I think should not only belong to one person."

"Sharing happiness can allow us to experience true happiness, for example..."

Naruto held Hinata's hand and smiled happily.

“Find someone who is willing to walk your life with you and be by your side for the rest of your life.”

"Although I am only 14 years old now, the word "life" seems far away... and Hinata and I will have many more 11 years to go, but I believe that my idea is not wrong."

"Thank you for beating uncle."

Naruto took the noodle bowl and took the chopsticks but did not start to enjoy it.

"Time is running out, Sasuke. I had this wonderful time worth cherishing and recalling for the rest of my life 11 years earlier than you, but it's not too late for you now."

"It's great that my good brother is not a guy who only has eyes for men! You don't know how excited I was when I just heard you say that!"

"It's been too long, Sasuke, you've been single for too long!"

"In the nine years you have been in school, so many girls have expressed their feelings for you, but you only want to become stronger and become a perfect younger brother like Big Brother Itachi."

"But that's definitely not what your life is about."

"I asked my father and uncle Orochimaru, but they told me that you can only figure this out by yourself, and other people's intervention can't change anything. After all, feelings are like this, love is like this Son, everyone has different thoughts and concepts, and you can only really change if you change yourself."

"It's as if we have never thought that Uncle Orochimaru actually got married three months earlier than Uncle Jiraiya. Do you still remember when the news spread... how much commotion there was in Konoha? "

"Tsunade...ahem, Sister Tsunade almost dismantled Uncle Orochimaru after learning the news, so as to make sure that he had not been swapped and that he was still the Orochimaru she knew."

"Isn't this a normal phenomenon of being pregnant for three years?"

Sasuke couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the scene of flying chickens and dogs that he saw.

"Cough cough~"

Sasuke calmed down his smile, and then spoke seriously.

"Does it really matter? I mean... I just suddenly thought... uh... I just felt..."

"Who is she? Is she one of the hundreds of girls who wrote you love letters?"

"No."

Sasuke shook his head without hesitation.

"Do you remember five years ago? The first time we fought against Ukon and Sakon, that's when you told my brother that he was with Sister Izumi."

"Uh..." Naruto scratched his head and tried to remember, but the time was a little far away, and he really couldn't remember it for a while.

"A transfer student from the Sealed Class."

Suddenly, the Nine Lama who was listening to the gossip in Naruto's belly spoke up. For the leader who had not slept for more than ten or eight years, what happened five years ago was no different from what happened yesterday. It was almost the same 500 years ago. .

Naruto, who thanked Kurama in his heart, showed an expression of sudden realization.

"The little princess of the sealing class, Zion, who has the deep purple reincarnation eye?"

"Well..." Sasuke, who was looking around for a window to look at the sky, seemed a little embarrassed.

"Oh~ It turns out to be her."

"No wonder."

Naruto showed a look of understanding.

"But you are indeed a good match. Although Sasuke, your Rinnegan Eye has no bias in nature, except for dad, you are the only one who has opened the Three Magatama Rinnegan Eyes, whether it is strength or excellence in all aspects. That’s good, you are indeed a good match.”

"How long?"

"I mean, how long have you had a crush?"

"No! How is that possible! It's nothing!"

Sasuke, who started to quibble in every possible way, turned his head away with an arrogant look on his face, but Naruto, who knew him well, couldn't have guessed it?

"Wait for me a moment, I'll make a call."

With that said, Naruto stood up. Sasuke, who stretched out his hand but failed to grab the corner of Naruto's clothes, paused, and then asked Hinata with some uncertainty: "What are you doing, Naruto?"

"It should be a good thing, don't worry, Sasuke-kun."

Hinata asked Sasuke to wait calmly, showing a confused smile that the boy could not guess.

About three to five minutes later, when the ramen on the table was past the best time to enjoy it, Naruto strode back.

"I booked tonight's Xijiao Amusement Park, customized a fireworks show, and bought you the latest movie tickets, 'Love Across Thousand Years' starring Fenghua Xiaoxue, and asked Uncle Haiyi to practice A group of intelligence officers were nominally assigned to serve as passers-by at the venue."

"By the way, I also made an appointment with Ziyuan for you. As you know, she often comes to visit my house and has a good relationship with Nine Lamas. I happen to have her phone number."

"I call you brother, you call me dad. We have our own business. My son has something he can't solve. Of course, I, an old father, have to help. No need to thank you. It's all trivial based on our relationship for more than ten years. .”

Naruto patted Sasuke on the shoulder, waking Sasuke out of his dumbfounded stupor.

"A secret love is nothing. We will graduate in a while. Is it possible that you are still hesitating about confessing your love after graduation?"

"Show me your courage in driving the Susanoo and take on the little guy with all eight doors open, Sasuke! The worst that can happen is that you will lie in bed for half a month. Did you hesitate at that time? Were you timid? Were you scared?"

"No, right!"

"Then take action now!"

"There is still one hour left before the appointed time. Show off your manliness. We are all standing behind you, blessing and cheering you on."

Things have come to this... Sasuke can't help but think too much.

In line with the principle of not wasting, he finished his salt ramen in two or three mouthfuls. The three-color dumplings were even sweeter than before, and with this added energy, Sasuke seemed to have the courage to grit his teeth. and spirit.

"I'll do my best!"

Nodding to Naruto, Sasuke stood up and left without hesitation, showing a sad and majestic wind.

"It feels like it will be interesting, Hinata, how about we follow you quietly later?"

"Sasuke's first date, we can't screw it up."

"Ah."

Hinata nodded obediently and leaned lightly on Naruto's shoulder. It seemed that she also remembered the day when she first agreed to go on a date with Naruto at the amusement park... It seemed that in the blink of an eye, time passed. Sneaked away.

"I'll eat ramen next time. Let's go home and get ready. Mom has ordered a new yukata for you. I just want to go back and try it out. The fireworks tonight will be great."

After hurriedly finishing the two bowls of noodles that had been served, and apologizing to his uncle, Naruto took Hinata's hand and returned to his familiar home.

"Dad is back?"

After seeing the shoes on the entrance, Naruto shouted into the house.

"elder brother!"

Naruto was the first to respond with a burst of hurried footsteps. The door of the living room was opened, and a little girl, no more than three or four years old, ran happily towards Naruto.

"Sister Hinata!"

The little guy who turned a corner on the way suddenly jumped on Hinata, leaving Naruto aside and ignoring him.

"Don't you like your brother anymore, Son of God?"

Naruto, who picked up his sister from behind and lifted her high, pretended to be angry and said.

"Shenzi likes my sister more. My sister is sweet and soft. Brother, you have nothing."

"So hurry up and let Sister Hinata live in our house. Brother is really a big fool."

After slapping Naruto's hand away, Shenzi, who was dangling in the sky, kicked his little feet and plunged into Hinata's arms again.

Hinata, who was smiling and saying nothing, touched Shenzi's faintly shining bright blond hair, and the smile on her lips never faded.

"Dad, why did you come home so early today?"

After walking into the living room, Naruto saw Minato lying on the sofa leisurely watching TV. After so long, Minato still hadn't changed at all. Time seemed to have frozen on him, and Kushin was knitting a scarf beside him. So is Nye.

Ever since Minato cut off a small piece of the 'world' for Kushina, she who successfully synthesized the Yin Yang Senjutsu chakra can be called a fairy in a sense.

And Shenzi was the little daughter Kushina gave birth to shortly after that, and was Naruto's biological sister.

"Of course it's because the research is going well, Tianli's programming is over, and it's time to take a breather."

"I really didn't expect that this would be such a complicated project, but it's not too late, we still have enough time."

"But Naruto, from the look of you, it seems you have some good news to say?"

"Tonight is Sasuke's first date. Hinata and I are going to check it out."

"Hahahaha!" Minato laughed twice as he stood up from the sofa, "Fugaku must be very excited, the two pillars have finally enlightened themselves."

"No, no, I have to go over and take him away, lest this guy ruin the child's good fortune by thinking about it."

With that said, Minato took two bottles of good wine from the wine rack.

"I'll be back later, Kushina."

"Bring two more bottles, otherwise you won't be able to get him drunk."

The considerate Kushina put down the knitting needle in her hand, and with these two bottles of wine, Minato and Fugaku were probably the only ones taking a sip.

"We can't let Fugaku ruin Sasuke's important event. I still remember the day Itachi got engaged... Mikoto was so nagged that she came to our house to take refuge."

"Go ahead, let's treat today as a day off for you."

After receiving the order, Minato immediately packed up most of the wine cabinet and left. Today was destined to be an interesting day.

In Konoha 62, a new timeline divides time again.
