Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

In Nadeshiko Village:

Nadeshiko Himiko slowly removed the white silk on her forehead, and then took off the plain clothes she was wearing.

It had been exactly one year since her mother passed away. She had long since gotten over the grief and had completed the wake.

Now Himiko feels a little confused.

She didn't know what she should do next.

In the past, for the sake of her mother, she tried every way to make money every month. Although her burden was greatly reduced with the medicinal materials sent by Konoha Village every month, she still wanted to save more money, just in case there were any complications.

As a result, now her mother has passed away and all medical treatment has been ineffective. These goals have disappeared in an instant, so she naturally feels confused.

"Himiko-chan?"

The voice of the head of Nadeshiko Village came, and Himiko quickly stood up to greet him: "Head of the village?"

The village chief stumbled to the door of Himiko's house and said to Himiko with a smile: "Little Himiko, good news, good news!"

The village chief has been getting older lately, but his spirits are getting better day by day.

Everyone in Fushiko Village knows that the village chief may not live long.

The current situation is just a last gasp.

Himiko asked the old village chief to sit down. The old village chief patted the back of Himiko's hand and said with a smile: "Little Himiko, good news! The Hokage of Konoha Village! He asked you to go to Konoha Village!"

For the women of Fushiko Village, being able to settle in Konoha Village is indeed the best news for them.

In recent years, since the cooperation between Fushiko Village and Konoha Village began, Konoha Village has provided Fushiko Village with study-abroad quotas every year, and has sent Fushiko Village medicinal herbs which, although not precious, are not small in quantity, which has made the girls of Fushiko Village have a great impression of Konoha Village.

Himiko naturally has a good impression of Konoha Village.

Apart from anything else, if it weren't for the medicinal herbs provided by Konoha Village, her mother would have died long ago.

The reason why we can hold on for these few more years is because of those precious medicinal herbs.

Unfortunately, her mother was already in the advanced stage of the disease when she was diagnosed. If she were a ninja, she might have been able to find a way to prolong her life. Unfortunately...

Decades ago, it was an era of war. During war, unless you rely on a powerful family, like Himiko's mother, no matter how talented you are, it will be useless.

"Hokage-sama..." Nadeshiko Himiko couldn't help but reveal a longing expression on her face.

To be honest, for Yuya, Himiko Nadeshiko had never met him before.

Yes, not even once.

But there is no doubt that Himiko Nadeshiko is full of respect for the Hokage.

After all, the other party's help to Fushiko Village is real, and Fushiko Himiko is not the kind of person who would not repay a favor. Therefore, Fushiko Himiko always feels that she owes a lot to Youya.

It's just that I never had the chance to repay you.

But now...

Why did the Hokage call her over?

Nadeshiko Himiko looked at Nadeshiko Himiko with some curiosity: "Hokage-sama... why did you ask me to come over?"

The old village chief smiled and patted Nadeshiko Himiko's hand and said, "It's about your lifelong event! The Hokage thinks highly of you! He wants to personally inquire about your affairs! This is an incredible gift!"

Nadeshiko Himiko was stunned, and then her heart suddenly panicked.

She did have great respect for the current Third Hokage of Konoha Village, but that definitely didn't mean she felt she should entrust her life to him...

For some reason, when Nadeshiko Himiko heard the news, her first reaction was a boy with white hair...

Almost ten years ago, she and the boy named Jiraiya...

The two sides made an agreement about apprentices...

But really speaking...

Compared to the apprentice...

Himiko shook her head.

What was she thinking? The other party had clearly rejected her...

After calming herself down, Himiko was confused: "As I recall, shouldn't the Hokage be... married?"

The old village chief waved his hand: "Hey, it's not Hokage-sama, what are you thinking, you are not worthy of Hokage-sama."

This is true. With Youya's current status, except for the daughter of a daimyo from other countries or the daughter of a shadow from other villages, if a marriage is really to be arranged and the target is Youya's child, any other status except the above ones would be considered marrying above his station.

Ok……

Of course, if your goal is to play as a pro, then the above are considered too high.

Some people are able to inspire admiration from everyone in the world.

For example, the teacher whom Youya respects most in his heart.

Of course, You Ya himself knew that compared to that person, he was just a firefly compared to the bright moon. This was not a metaphor, it was a fact.

The reason I say this is simply because some people don't know whether they are too full or they really have a brain disease.

The whole world is praising the man so much, but he has to be witty and say such nonsense. If such a person is in front of You Ya, You Ya will have to make him suffer the consequences of the arrival of the Golden City.

Um, I've strayed off topic. Let's get back to the point.

Nadeshiko Himiko breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the village chief's words.

It's not that she rejected the Hokage of Konoha Village, it's just...

After all, she had never met the Hokage before, so she shouldn't be so careless.

Of course, if the other party asked her to repay a favor, she would have to grit her teeth and accept it.

Fortunately, the other party was not interested in her.

But if that was the case, she was even more confused: "If you're not asking me to go... to... that, why do you say it's related to my lifelong event?"

The old village chief smiled and said, "Of course, the Hokage wants to arrange a talented person for you to spend the rest of your life with!"

The old village chief looked excited, but Himiko's face turned unhappy.

original……

Is that what you mean?

This……

Himiko suppressed the image that suddenly appeared in her mind, and sighed to the old village chief: "Can I not go?"

The old village chief was stunned, and looked at Himiko in disbelief, then suddenly said angrily: "Little Himiko, what's wrong with you?! What a great opportunity!! And it was the Hokage who personally nominated you! If you, you, you don't go, will you be worthy of the Hokage?!"

Himiko's expression became conflicted.

Indeed, being able to go to Konoha Village is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the people of their Nadeshiko Village.

but……

Himiko thought of the favors she had received over the years and sighed, "Okay, I get it. I'll go."

The old village chief nodded with satisfaction.

Himiko sighed as she looked at the old village chief's back.

If possible...she really doesn't want to go...

but……

She is indeed very confused about the future now.

So, when she came to Konoha Village and came to the Hokage's office, she heard Yuya say to her:

"Jiraiya still remembers clearly what happened between you and Jiraiya nine years ago.

How about, if he is willing to stay with you forever...are you willing to travel around the Ninja Continent with him?"

Himiko was confused...
