Naruto's caged bird

Ever since Hatake Sakumo was called during the training, the streets began to be filled with rumors of war.

The gossip about which family gave birth to a baby that Konoha civilians were most concerned about during the two decades of peace instantly turned into 1000 emergencies of war. Even though twenty years had passed since the shadow of the first Ninja War, when the living heard the rumors of the war again, the tense atmosphere still made the entire Konoha Village and even the entire Ninja World agitated.

Whether the prices of grain, oil, and salt have risen or not, as a child of a wealthy family, Hyuga does not need to worry about the daily difference. The only thing he knew was that as Hatake Sakumo's disciples, the three members of Class 5 were honored to have the opportunity to join the battle with Hatake Sakumo.

This is also the only team from the genin class that graduated "last year" to participate in the war. The other genin in the same class as Hizashi were exempted from attacking the Land of Rain at this early stage of the war.

Because at this time, the Konoha Ninja Village of the Country of Fire not only had the courage to divide its troops into three or four groups to defeat the enemy. It also has the magnanimity of the strongest country in the ninja world.

At the beginning of the war, the Konoha Ninja Village, which had been training for twenty years and was the strongest in the ninja world, had not yet weakened to the point where it was necessary to send the latest batch of graduated genin to the battlefield for training at the beginning of the war, as was the case in later generations.

Take the words of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was so angry with his opposition and slapped the table with his anger that he insisted on going his own way:

"They are the future of the village"

Because of this, they don't need to "graduate early" at this time like they did when they became jounin at the age of 12 a few years later.

A strong country should have strong confidence. At the very least, the people and children of this country should be kept away from war and riots. Our country has at least achieved this

"Powerful" This is also the challenge and war that Class 5, led by a teacher like Hatake Sakumo who leads the ninja army, must face.

Just pack up your ninja tools, military ration pills, medical kits, etc. These are the things you must bring with you in the war. Just have a spare set of clothes for a change of clothes. This is for a war, not a vacation.

The only good thing is that at this time, Hizashi still doesn't have to wear Konoha's standard green vest, which makes him look ugly.

That is the equipment that adds 20 defense to ninjas who are chuunin level or above who can perform missions alone. At this time, Class , who was just following the leading teacher Sakumo Hatake as a disciple, still would not have the opportunity to act alone.

In the south of Konoha, in such a huge clan, it seems that the only voices of those two siblings are always there.

"duang" the familiar slap on the shoulder.

Now at the age of twenty-three, Senju Tsunade, with her waist stretched out, began to tease her younger brother, who looked like he had not grown up at all.

"Noseki, come on, we will be teammates fighting side by side on the battlefield, hahaha." When it came to fighting, Tsunade instantly became heroic. The laughter became more and more heroic, and even the strong chest muscles trembled up and down.

"It hurts, sister, can't you be gentler." Rubbing his shoulders that felt like they were about to fall apart, Senju Naoki complained speechlessly. Why was the atmosphere of farewell at Senju's house not warm at all?

"I want you to teach me how to defeat the enemy even with this little strength." Tsunade became angry at the mention of the word gentle.

"Sister, what I'm good at is tolerance..."

"Duang" Tsunade used her actions to once again interrupt the slow casting speed of the rope tree.

go away.

Shengshu left his elder sister's arms while suffocating, rubbing the bag on his head and shaking the life necklace around his neck as he walked further and further away.

"Although I've never given up on punching him in the head, I still can't help it." Looking at her brother who kept grinning, rubbing his head and complaining about him, Senju Tsunade rubbed the fist of her right hand and said silently:

"Rope Tree, stay safe."

In the west of Konoha, Red and Black always exude quarrels together.

"Why would my daughter go to war like this? I don't agree."

"He is the ninja of the Uchiha clan..."

"She is your daughter." The woman excitedly interrupted the man's explanation.

Mikoto looked at her parents who were arguing again. She, who had always been weak, mustered up the courage to explain to her parents for the first time.

"It's okay, mom, they will protect me."

"You..." Looking at her daughter who had packed up everything in front of her to face her, the woman who knew she could not keep her finally turned her advice into advice.

"Then, you must stand behind them."

"Actually...well, I know." Mikoto swallowed the explanation that reached her lips, and she agreed to her mother's warning to her. Then, little by little, he left the gate of the Uchiha clan.

Looking back, I seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"Actually, I can also fight." Finally, he looked at the eaves of the house in the distance. The Uchiha clan was very large and deep, but it couldn't stop her from looking towards home.

East of Konoha, this place has an unusually large number of people.

"Hour difference, you must be careful"

Hyuga Source packed the luggage needed for Hizashi in concern. As a mother, she did not want her son to participate in any war. But she knew that her son, who had always been assertive, would definitely choose to go. She also knew what war meant to genin.

But since you choose to become a ninja, you have to face all this.

"Don't worry, Mom." The helpless Hizashi showed his fist to his mother, as if to prove that he was good at fighting.

"~~~~" Hinata Yuan, who didn't know how to persuade, held his naughty son in his arms again. When I found out about this, I realized that the former Hizashi was already as tall as my shoulders.

Looking at his handsome appearance, his son, whom he always liked to tease and make him blush, now actually made himself blush with embarrassment.

My son seems to have grown up unknowingly, and I can no longer hold him in my arms like before.

"I really hope that he can stay in his "individual" self before. I really hope that he can be safe and sound. I really hope that my son... will find himself a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, hahahaha." Hinata Yuan's eyes were shining as he thought more and more outrageously. Looking at Hizashi, he looked like he was optimistic about you.

Struggling to leave the suddenly uncomfortable embrace, Hizashi rarely blushed under his mother's intimate embrace. Then he shook his hair at his mother coolly and walked to his father Hinata Himasa with a no problem expression.

"Father, I'm leaving"

"Well, no... pay attention to your safety." Hyuga Himasa originally wanted to tell his son, who had always felt that he was incompetent, "Don't lose the prestige of the Hyuga clan." After thinking about it, it seemed that I finally chose to pop out these few rare words.

After answering "Yes", Hizashi walked up to Hizashi.

Looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as mine, I seemed to be able to tell the difference gradually over the past two years. In addition to the tattoo on his forehead that was recognized as a tattoo, at this time, Hizu became more and more like the Hyuga clan. It was solemn and majestic, and even the stoic face in his youth felt slightly smoother.

"Take good care of mother, or I'll beat you up when I come back." Hizashi suddenly said something that was difficult to understand for a while, which was both a reminder and an advice to practice hard.

"Hmph, you have no chance."

Rizu, who has been gradually assigned to the clan affairs over the years, no longer has as much time to practice as he once did. The originally firm and wheat-colored complexion gradually became rounder and more mediocre. It looks more and more like the father Hinata Nimasa from twenty years ago in the photo album at home.

Turn around.

Hizashi gestured towards Hizashi with the "index and middle fingers" of his right hand, and walked away without looking back while swinging.

Because he knows that even if he is gone, this home and this family will still exist well and will continue to exist. Even if she is gone, at least Rizu will be with her.

"Humph"

Looking at the two fingers of his right hand that were stretched out, Rizu looked away angrily. At this time, his father Hinata Himasa was still frowning, while his mother Hinata Yuan was already crying like a pear blossom.

Looking at his mother's sad figure, Rizu seemed to remember "what he did just now" and wanted to go up and comfort her, but gave up after thinking about what his own comfort would be like. "You bastard will be fine, I can't replace him."

leave home.

"H-Hizashi-kun." A gust of wind blew over.

"Eh Caicai" looked back and saw a cloud floating by.

"Hizashi-kun, you must pay attention to safety on the battlefield."

"Yes, I will."

"This is for you, it's very effective." After placing it in Hizashi's hand that stretched out in surprise, Hinata Kasai floated away like flying away.

"..." Looking at the piece of paper in his hand speechlessly, Hinata Hizashi opened it.

"Oh, it turns out to be a peace charm. I thought it was a love letter. If I take it apart, will the peace charm not work?"

After folding it again, I took another look at this special version of the safety charm. It was pink and had very thin threads, and it seemed like it would break if I was not careful.

"Girls actually believe this," Hizashi, who had always felt that he didn't believe it, complained, and then hung it all around his neck.

Leave the Hyuga clan.

"Hizashi is about to go to the battlefield." "On the battlefield, Hizashi has grown into a man." "Brother Hizashi, please pay attention to safety."

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you." Facing the tribesmen who became more and more familiar with each year, he responded casually.

I waved goodbye and looked at Sora in Konoha speechlessly. If I chose not to join the war when Hatake Sakumo asked me, would I have to live between them all my life?

"Hmph." Hinata Hizashi, who knew his ending, sighed helplessly. He wanted a comfortable and worry-free ending, so I chose to participate in this war that was none of my business at this time.

Leave the gate of Konoha Village.

The first and second time I left the village were due to missions. When he left the village for the third time, it was already because of the war.

Leaving the open door of Konoha Village again, the air blowing from the north seemed to carry a faint fishy smell. The sky in the distance seems to reflect the scarlet color on the ground. Is it the morning glow or is I thinking too much?

At this time, the wood industry and even the entire five major countries were at their peak. This war will show too many legends of strong men, and the ninjas will still spread their legends many years later.

The strongest "Three Generations", "Legendary Sannin", Konoha's "White Fang", "Demigod" Hanzo, and "Gigma" Chiyo.

He glanced at Hatake Sakumo, who rarely showed up early to gather at the entrance of the village. At this time, Mikoto and Nasaki were already standing behind him. The 12 or 13-year-old boys were right up to the teacher's chest, and I seemed to be a year older and a bit taller than them.

Hizashi, who was the last to arrive, waved to them and ran over. He, who had more "bonds" at home, was the last to gather together for the first time.

I am not the protagonist in this war

But in the next war, I will be.
