Naruto hodgepodge

It was snowing, Naruto stood by the window and watched the falling snowflakes, memories came flooding back like snowflakes blown by the wind. He remembered that cold snowy night when he was just a penniless teenager, who had to make a fire and grill fish by the cold lake to fill his stomach, and then met his grandfather. Now, although life is very different, the desire for simple happiness has not changed.

On a whim, Naruto decided to invite Naruko and Shisui to relive that simple happiness together. Naruko drank milk tea from Baibaozhai, ate potato chips and watched TV, calling Naruto crazy. Shisui readily accepted Naruto's invitation. The two came to a quiet lakeside. A thin layer of ice had formed on the lake surface, and the surroundings were a world covered in silver. They made a fire, caught fish, grilled fish, and talked and laughed. Shisui remembered that he and Itachi often lived like this before. He was happy and felt that he was really irresponsible. He entrusted all the burdens to Itachi when he couldn't solve them himself. He blamed himself for a while.

Although Naruto is not as sensitive to the Nine-Tails' malice as the original Naruto due to different circumstances, he can still detect Shisui's obvious emotions: "What's wrong? Brother Shisui, your performance is too obvious. This is not like a ninja. (Forget it, let's just call him Shisui. The default is to call Shun)"

Shisui waved his hands: "Ha, Naruto you are amazing, it's just that the scene brought back memories."

Naruto just had a sudden impulse and ate the fish. "Don't think too much, Brother Shisui. Isn't everything getting better now? We've almost finished eating, let's go back." Naruto said to Shisui. After that, Shisui calmed down, and the two of them simply packed up and started to go back.

On their way back, a faint cry pierced through the silence of the night, like a wisp of silk in the cold wind, touching Naruto's heartstrings. He followed the sound and saw a little girl lying on the ground curled up in a ball crying sadly under a street lamp not far away. Her tears intertwined with the snowflakes, making her look particularly helpless.

That familiar scene, that similar emotion, made Naruto feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He asked Shisui to go back first, Shisui looked at Naruto, nodded and left, but still followed him secretly.

Naruto walked closer and saw that although the little girl was also crying and had the Hyuga clan's iconic Byakugan, she was obviously not the one he had seen in his memory. She seemed even younger. Thinking of the so-called sister Naruto who always called her "big bro" as soon as she opened her mouth, this little girl felt more like a little sister.

"Don't cry, little sister, tears are precious." Naruto gently squatted down, and his fingertips gently slid across Hinata Hanabi's cheek, wiping away the tears on her face. He helped Hanabi up, and his warm smile was like the spring sunshine, instantly dispelling the coldness around him, "Tell me, what makes you so sad? Maybe I can share some of your worries."

Hinata Hanabi looked up and met Naruto's sincere eyes. She struggled for a moment: "I..."

Naruto looked at Hinata Hanabi's innocent expression and the words she was about to say. There was not much content in the memory fragments, but it was a little girl who was also lost and he finally sent her home. So Naruto asked, "Are you from the Hinata family?"

(As for some details, although Kurama was reborn, he only talked about some general memories. It is assumed that Kurama will not talk about the situation when Naruto was in crisis, and will wait until he meets a key person to unlock it. In the original work, it is impossible for Kurama to keep an eye on Naruto all the time, and even keep an eye on Naruto, Hinata and Boruto)

When Hinata Hanabi heard Naruto mention the "Hyuga family", she was slightly stunned, then nodded, as if agreeing with his guess.

Naruto took Hanabi's hand, a warm feeling appeared on Hanabi, and said, "Are you lost? Come with me, I will take you home."

Hanabi listened to Naruto and mustered up the courage to say to Naruto: "My name is Hinata Hanabi."

Naruto smiled at the little girl who responded, "Brother, my name is Uzumaki Naruto."

On the way, Naruto recalled the scene with another little girl and asked, "Little sister, why are you crying?"

Hanabi didn't respond, so Naruto continued as they walked, "You should have a big family. Like me, I didn't have anyone around me before. But I never cry."

Hanabi suddenly became depressed and answered the question irrelevantly: "Brother Naruto, is fate unchangeable?"

Suddenly hearing the word "fate", Naruto was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. For him, unless he wanted to die, his fate of becoming a savior could not be changed at all. Whether he stood in front of the stage or hid behind the scenes, he had to work hard to save the world. Fate was like a pusher that kept pushing him forward. No matter Naruto or himself, they could not reverse this fate. But if it refers to other things, then fate is by no means unchangeable.

Naruto noticed Hanabi's low mood, he quickly changed the subject, and said in a gentle tone: "Hanabi, fate is like a winding river, sometimes calm and gentle, sometimes turbulent. But don't forget, we are not just drifting with the flow, but we can become the brave ones who control the wind and waves.

Imagine that you are holding the helm, standing on the ship of your life, facing the unknown ahead. Although the wind and waves may scare you, it is these challenges that make you more resilient. In your heart, there is infinite courage and strength, which are the source of your changing your destiny and creating miracles.

Remember, every choice and every effort you make is your response to fate and a solid step towards your dream. Don't be afraid of failure, because every fall is for you to stand up stronger. Your future is written by you, and your destiny is in your own hands.

So, Fireworks, bravely raise your sails and head for the starry sea in your heart at full speed! I believe that as long as you have hope in your heart and move forward courageously, nothing is impossible. "

Hinata Hanabi listened to Naruto's words. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes, but this was because of emotion and hope. "Thank you, Naruto-nii."

Naruto smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "You're welcome. You call me brother. Now, let me get you home safely. Your family must be worried about you."

Soon, the two arrived in front of the Hyuga family's mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard anxious footsteps. It was Hyuga Hinata who was looking for her sister. Seeing Hanabi return safely, Hinata did not show too much emotion, but her frown instantly relaxed, and a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"Hanabi, your behavior is really disappointing." Hinata's words were filled with unquestionable arrogance and indifference, but the gentle light that occasionally flashed in her deep eyes revealed her inner kindness, but this gentleness was not easily seen by others. She approached Hanabi, and although her actions were less intimate, she did not really blame her, but just gently pulled Hanabi's hand.

When she looked at Naruto, her attitude remained that arrogant, she bowed slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Thank you for sending Hanabi home today. Please go back."

Naruto looked at Hinata. He didn't expect that Hanabi's sister was the lost little girl in the memory fragment. However, she was completely different from the weak little girl in his memory. He felt the unapproachable aura of Hinata. He smiled and responded, "You're welcome. Hanabi is a good child. I believe she will become more and more sensible. Then, I'll take my leave first." After that, he nodded slightly to the two of them and turned to leave.

Hanabi stood beside her sister, feeling the majesty emanating from Hinata, and couldn't help but feel a little afraid. She secretly glanced at Naruto, and seeing that he had gone far away, she secretly made up her mind that she would face everything bravely as Naruto said, break the shackles of fate with her own strength, and fly to a wider sky.

As he approached his home, the heavy snow was like fine feathers, gently covering the quiet path, and every step left deep footprints. Naruto looked up inadvertently, and his eyes happened to pass through the flying snowflakes, and he met the two children at the door of the new family opposite - Sai and Nobu. These two children, with delicate faces and calmness that were not inferior to their age, were the Root members specially sent by Danzo to make friends with and secretly protect Naruto.

For several days in a row, every time Naruto went out or came back after the last speech, he could see these two strange children. However, Naruto thought that as the third generation of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he would not allow strangers to touch him casually, so he didn't take it seriously. Today, it was snowing heavily and they were still looking at him. They must be the new protection members of the third generation.

Naruto didn't feel anything about being monitored and protected, as long as they didn't install cameras in his room. Naruto decided to break the silence and extend a hand of friendship to them.

"Hi, how are you guys?" Naruto smiled and strode towards them, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I live here. I see you guys are here every day, are you waiting for someone?"

Sai and Shin looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. After all, they were still a little unfamiliar when they were sent here by Danzo before the Root training was completed, especially Sai's smile that was uglier than crying. However, they remembered the mission, and Sai spoke at this moment: "Hello, Naruto, my name is Sai." After that, there was a mechanical silence.

Seeing this, Xin took over the conversation and said, "Hello Naruto, my name is Xin, I'm his brother, and we just moved here."

Naruto didn't doubt it, even though he still had the nature of a child. "Really? That's great! You are new neighbors!" He excitedly shook Sai and Nobu's hands. "Please take care of me from now on."

Sai and Nobu looked at each other and smiled, then nodded in agreement. They didn't expect that they would pass the test so easily.

(Hinata's character is definitely changed by Kaguya's influence. After all, even if Kaguya is kinder, she still has the mentality of a superior slave owner. Hinata becomes a genius, Hizashi doesn't die, and Neji and Hanabi's circumstances and personalities will definitely change.)
