"Hmm, that does sound like a brilliant speech."

Zabuza quietly hid in the crowd, silently listening to Mei Terumi's passionate and generous declaration, and a barely perceptible smile climbed up the corner of his mouth.

Naruto stared at Mei Terumi on the stage, knowing that with her successful inauguration as the fifth generation Mizukage, he must immediately start the next plan.

Now, the [Nine] Organization has won the recognition of the legal status of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire and Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water.

Next, Naruto is determined to embark on the road to Kumokage Village, which is praised as the"Thunder City among the Peaks".

The real purpose of his trip is to gain the trust of Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

In his previous life, it was that energetic uncle who taught him the secret of controlling the power of the tailed beasts. This time, Naruto is eager to use the powerful power of the Eight-Tails to open his own Kurama connection mode.

Zabuza and Haku chose to stay in Kirigakure to serve as Mei's right-hand man.

In their own words, Kirigakure is about to usher in a new vitality, and they are willing to become the backbone of this new life.

Mei Terumi, who once had doubts about the two, was eventually moved by their sincerity.

Before heading to Kumokage Village, Naruto and Karin returned to Konoha Village together. Konoha Village has undergone tremendous changes in the past few months, and these changes were led by Tsunade.

Various measures to facilitate the people and new systems have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, pushing Konoha further into a stronger state.

Standing in the distance, Naruto looked at those familiar yet unfamiliar faces, and a feeling welled up in his heart: he could never go back to the carefree time of the past. This time he returned, he had only one goal——

" Naruto-kun, this is actually the case……"

Hinata sat side by side with Naruto on a park bench, listening to him talk about his recent experiences.

Naruto stared at the shy girl in front of him, his eyes showing great sincerity:"Hinata, I hope you can join my team and help me."

Facing Naruto's request, Hinata hesitated a little, but soon nodded firmly and responded:"As long as it is Naruto-kun's request, I am happy to do it."

At this moment, Hinata's eyes were extremely focused, as if she was expressing to Naruto the unreserved trust in her heart, a trust that even surpassed her belief in herself.

Naruto raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. In this long road of life, there are not many people who can really accompany him all the way.

Among them, there is Kurama, who fought side by side with him and never left him; there is Sasuke, who was once his opponent but now became his best friend; and finally, there is Hinata, whom he deeply loves.

After a brief greeting, Naruto stepped into the Hokage's office and reported to Tsunade what had happened recently in the ninja world.

Tsunade stared at Naruto and asked,"I heard that a new Mizukage appeared in the Hidden Mist Village. Are you behind this?"

Naruto shook his head and denied,"Although I have heard about it, it is said that this was caused by a coup by Zabuza of the Hidden Mist Village, which pushed the new Mizukage to the front." Tsunade snorted. She knew that Naruto was not telling her the truth, so she asked,"Then why did you return to the village this time?"

Normally, Naruto and Tsunade communicated through separate channels.

Now that he returned to the village openly, he must have his own calculations and purposes.

A smile appeared on Naruto's face again, and he answered sincerely:"It turns out that I can't hide anything from you, Lady Tsunade! In this case, I will no longer hide it. In fact, this time I came back, I planned to take Hinata Hyuga from the Hyuga family away."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade frowned, and her expression became solemn:"Do you know how prestigious the Hyuga clan is in the village?" Naruto laughed a few times and responded:"Haha, where is the prestige? A clan like the Hyuga, which is so old-fashioned and conservative, should be reborn! If they are unwilling to reform themselves, I will help them."

Tsunade snorted coldly, looking at Naruto with sharp eyes. Since Naruto left the village, she realized that Naruto seemed to have experienced a earth-shaking change.

""Are you trying to threaten me with this, Naruto?" Tsunade asked sternly.

Naruto waved his hands and explained,"No, Master Tsunade. How dare I offend your majesty. It's just that I think that if I can help Hinata to become stronger, wouldn't it be great for protecting Konoha? And from Master Tsunade's point of view, wouldn't you also want a stronger force to protect the village?"

Tsunade fell into deep thought. Indeed, what Naruto said made sense. The current situation was turbulent, and strengthening strength was indeed a top priority.

However, she still had concerns about the prestige of the Hyuga clan, and was unwilling to touch this sensitive area easily.

What's more, the abominable"Bird in a Cage" system had already made her dissatisfied.

But now that she had heard Naruto's intentions, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him have a try.……

"Humph, you can handle this matter yourself, but don't let everyone know."

After getting the approval of the Hokage, Naruto raised his lips slightly and showed a brilliant smile:"Thank you for your approval, Tsunade-san."

Tsunade was slightly startled, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She looked at Naruto in front of her, and her thoughts gradually drifted back to the past.

"Oh my, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura at that time are so nostalgic……"

Tsunade murmured to herself, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. She doesn't know how Sasuke is doing now.

Tsunade shook her head and was about to nag Naruto for a few more words, but suddenly found that the boy had disappeared.

"Hum, they're walking pretty fast."

Tsunade smiled helplessly, muttering to herself,"But it looks like this mission is very important to Naruto. I hope everything goes well for him.……"

At the same time, in the Hyuga clan's mansion, Hyuga Hinata was ready to go with Naruto.

She packed her luggage silently, feeling a little complicated. She did not tell anyone in her family about this operation, including her father, brother, and lovely sister Hyuga Hanabi.

Hinata knew the danger of this mission, but she still chose to follow Naruto without hesitation.

"Hinata, let's go."

Under the moon, Naruto smiled at Hinata. He was less than 13 years old and looked as handsome as Minato Namikaze dancing under the moon.

""Well, Naruto-kun, let's go."

Hinata nodded slightly, she looked at her home, and then did not stop.

Because she knew that this was not only a test of her own strength, but also an opportunity to help Naruto realize his dream.

She wanted to prove herself with practical actions, and also let Naruto see her growth and progress.

And this unknown journey will also become an unforgettable memory in their lives...
