Shocked! I can't hide my tears!

[Although he was ostracized by the villagers when he was young, Uzumaki Naruto never gave up. At that time, he still had a dream, wanting to become Hokage, and then let those who ostracized him recognize him...]

[Twelve years later, he finally received his first recognition. In the years that followed, many people began to recognize him..]

[Now, he finally fulfilled his wish and got the recognition of the whole village. He wanted to be a hero. He defeated Pain and became the hero of Konoha...]

That was Iruka, staring at the sky, he couldn't help but think of the words that the third generation had told him...

[Iruka, because of that incident, he was hated by the villagers. In order to attract their attention, Naruto had to play pranks all the time...]

[He wanted to use this method to prove his existence. The Fourth Hokage died because he wanted everyone to see Naruto as a hero...]

["The third generation... the fourth generation..."]

[“At this moment... the hero is right in front of me!”]

【Finish】

Silence..

"it is good!!!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and the ninja world seemed to be ignited in an instant, filled with excited and ecstatic noises!

"Hero, he is a well-deserved hero!!"

"I recognize him as a hero, Uzumaki Naruto, he is the hero of our Konoha!"

"That's so cool, Naruto. He defeated Pain and saved Konoha. I will make him my goal!"

"So cool! This is our Konoha's ninja!"

"Maybe he can really become Hokage..."

Not only the ninja world, but even his peers and those jonin, all showed relief and smiles on their faces. Uzumaki Naruto's strength has surpassed them!

"Who would have thought that the former loser could become the hero who saved Konoha?"

"Uzumaki Naruto is such an incredible child. There are endless possibilities in him!"

"Oh~ Kakashi, my dear friend, you are alive again. I was saying, as my lifelong rival, how could you die just like that?"

"Uzumaki Naruto defeated Pain and saved Konoha. He is worthy of being the one!"

"Child, remember to learn from this kind of person in the future, okay? Because he is the hero of our Konoha!"

"Don't worry, mom. I will become someone like Naruto-nii in the future. I will also be a top student in the future!"

"..."

Hokage's Office

Mito listened to the noisy voices in Konoha Village and the comments in the barrage, and smiled with relief.

Perhaps, he could really do what Hashirama had never done.

"Minato, Naruto is becoming more and more like you." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

That dazzling brilliance is exactly the same as yours back then, or even better!

He perfectly inherited your and Kushina's will and gradually grew into a reliable ninja.

Riverside

"Nagato..."

Jiraiya, looking at the dead figure in the sky, sighed slightly. He did not mean to blame them. On the contrary, he felt very guilty.

"What's there to sigh about? They're fine now, aren't they?" Tsunade said with a smile, and patted Jiraiya's shoulder hard, with such force that the latter's face turned red.

"I have decided. I want to become the Hokage and bring peace to the Hidden Rain Village, the Hidden Leaf Village, and the entire Ninja World!" Naruto shouted loudly.

"You want to bring peace to the entire ninja world? You're still a long way off!" Jiraiya scolded with a smile, then said strangely: "By the way, what are you going to do with that little girl?"

"That little girl? Which one?"

"Idiot, it's Hinata. Others have confessed to you like that, so why don't you give an answer, you stupid boy?" Jiraiya looked as if he was disappointed in his friend.

Hearing this, Naruto's face turned bitter. To be honest, after the sky curtain was exposed, he didn't know how to face the other party.

In his eyes, Hinata is a very strange girl. Every time she sees him, she blushes. Although she knows that it is because she likes him...

but..

He actually can't tell the difference between liking and loving. For example, he likes eating ramen and wishes he could eat it every day, but this kind of liking seems to be different from the liking that Hinata talks about.

No matter how dumb he is, he knows that Hinata's like is love.

"It seems that this boy can't figure out this relationship. That's right, he is quite stupid. Maybe he doesn't even understand what love and like are." Tsunade said, looking at Naruto's confused expression.

"Because I have never felt it since I was a child, I don't understand." Jiraiya sighed, with heartache in his eyes.

"Boy, let me ask you, deep down in your heart, who is the person you most want to see right now?" Tsunade said.

"Sasuke!" Naruto almost blurted out.

Tsunade Jiraiya: "..."

Didn't you talk about it for a long time, and then Sasuke popped up? You like Sasuke? ! !

They were shocked. Are you kidding me? He is a man!

"What about the second one?" Tsunade asked again.

"Iruka-sensei!"

"..."

"Girls, girls, I'm talking about girls, don't mention boys to me?!" Tsunade was numb, what was wrong with this kid?

Hearing this, Naruto began to ponder. In his mind, he could not help but imagine a beautiful figure. She had blue-purple hair, a pair of innocent white eyes, a cowardly but introverted girl...

That's Hinata!

He could never imagine what he felt when Hinata stepped forward and almost died for him, the anger, the urge to destroy everything...

He originally liked Haruno Sakura, but after the girl confessed her love to him, she almost died at the hands of Pein in order to protect him...

That was something he had never felt before, just like Iruka-sensei, and Sasuke standing in front of him before...

Maybe he really doesn't understand love, but... he feels that he seems to have some different feelings for Hinata...

That kind of feeling is something I have never experienced from Teacher Iruka. Maybe... that's what they call love, right?

"It's Hinata." Naruto said.

Hearing this, Tsunade smiled with relief. She was really afraid that the other party would show up as another man. She was numb.

"Then go and confess your feelings," Tsunade said.

"what?!"

Now it was Jiraiya's turn to be annoyed. Wasn't it because of you? Was it necessary to be so exaggerated? There should be some foreshadowing, right?

"What? Both the couple are interested in each other. As long as this boy expresses his feelings, success is guaranteed." Tsunade said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go now!" Hearing this, Naruto nodded and was about to run over immediately.
