Konoha: Start from untying the caged bird

"Did Jiraiya-sama lose his forehead protection?" Yuzuru Hinata smiled calmly: "Do I need to send you another one?"

"No... I wear it all the time. I just didn't choose to wear it when I went out for the convenience of movement." Jilai also realized that the person in front of him seemed a bit hostile.

Yuzuru Hyuga gave a groan, and said with a smile, "Since we're home, it's better to wear Konoha's forehead protector."

"Yes." Jilai did not argue, but said, "I will replace it."

Hyuga Yuzuru nodded, as Hokage, he had to do some things, for example, to correct some problems left over from the three generations.

Jiraiya and Tsunade are undoubtedly one of the problems left by the three generations.

Two ninjas who are famous and powerful in the ninja world are both wandering in the ninja world and refuse to go home. Among them, it is absolutely impossible without the problems and connivance of the three generations.

He is not only Hokage, but also the teacher of Sannin!

Hinata Yuzuru looked at Jiraiya, thought for a while, and simply got up, casually formed a shadow clone to handle the work for him in the office.

Shadow Clone glanced at him resentfully, immersed himself in official duties, while Hinata Yuzuru picked up the bamboo hat, put it on his head, and walked to Jiraiya: "If you are not busy, go out for a walk with me, eat How about a light meal and a chat?"

Of course Jiraiya would not refuse, in fact, he was also a little uneasy at the moment - Hinata Yuzuru asked him to come back, as Konoha's ninja, of course he couldn't refuse, but the vague 'hostility' shown by the other party at this moment, It still made him a little overwhelmed.

The relationship between him and Yuzuru Hyuga is not that deep. Even though they have been together for a few months, they have not been able to get too close because of certain problems. Now that Yuzuru Hyuga has become Hokage, and his status has changed drastically, he is even more I don't know how to face each other.

I can only simply respectfully say, "Yes."

Yuzuru Hinata walked out the door, and told Anbe at the door: "If there is an urgent problem, let my shadow clone release itself and come back to inform me."

"Yes!" Anbu immediately responded, and glanced at the shadow clone in the office, admiring secretly.

Not everyone can maintain the shadow clone for such a long time, and not everyone can bear the fatigue and a lot of information after the shadow clone is disbanded.

Even if you can, you can't do it often, but Hyuga Yuzuru is like an iron man, at least during this period of time, Anbu really didn't see that he had a good rest.

Others may still have doubts about the new Hokage, but these Anbu who often accompany Hokage have already recognized this young but extremely sincere trust in Hokage.

After all, strictly speaking, Yuzuru Hinata is still Anbe's own person!

Jiraiya was half a step behind Yuzuru Hyuga, looking at the black and red imperial robe on his body, with the Fifth Hokage written on it, he felt a little emotional for a moment——Time has passed, and it seems that he is no longer young anymore. ...

The two left the Hokage Building, and Yuzuru Hyuga formed another shadow clone, which disappeared after a few moments, but he thought about it and suggested: "It's almost time for dinner now, why don't we go to my house to have dinner together?" A simple meal, it can be regarded as a clean-up for Mr. Ziraiya."

"Well, Godaime-sama... Otherwise, just call me Jirai." Jiraiya is also a little uncomfortable being called 'sir' by his own Hokage.

"Then, Jiraiya-senpai?" Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "After all, Jiraiya-senpai is considered half a teacher in my eyes, and it would still be a little uncomfortable to call him by his name."

"Uh...Okay." It's fine if you don't talk about the teacher, but when you talk about the teacher, Zilai has nothing to say, so he can only nod in agreement.

The two were strolling around Konoha, and Zilai also looked around, and asked curiously: "When I came back recently, I saw that many streets were under construction. Is Konoha going to build new facilities?"

"No, it's just that the urban planning of the village is a bit poor. The residential area and the commercial area are mixed, and the functions are chaotic. Moreover, the commercialization of the village is not done well. If you want to do a good job in finance, you can't rely on ninja alone."

Hinata Yuzuru said briefly, but didn't go too far - in fact, he felt that Konoha was too small now.

Muye Village, Muye Village, how big can a village be?

He hopes that Konoha in the future will be more advanced, more inclusive, and wider, and can transform from a separate armed organization attached to the Kingdom of Fire to a complete country.

It's funny to say that they have such a powerful force, but Konoha, or the major ninja villages, are all tied to their own main country. They have to get approval and funds from the country of fire. to maintain the scale.

It is the Ninja World that Yuzuru Hinata is determined to subvert, but in this process, it is absolutely impossible to bypass the Nation of Fire.

Konoha has plenty of gun barrels, and he has to hold the money bag in his hands.

So how to make money and how to build a better industrial and commercial system with ninja characteristics are his top priorities right now.

"I plan to build a commercial street in several streets on the north side of the village, give preferential policies to the villagers, and encourage business. On the other hand, I also plan to gradually carry out industrial plans, so that everyone in Konoha has cheap clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. , Ordinary villagers don’t need to worry about survival, as long as they are willing to work, they can get income, and when they are old, they can also get Konoha’s pension, so they can spend their old age peacefully.”

"Only when the industry prospers can we have more abundant supplies and bargaining chips to do transactions."

"Only by trading and developing business, can Konoha obtain enough income from taxes and government-run enterprises to support a complete welfare system or improve the level of public facilities."

Yuzuru Hyuga was talking, and asked Jiraiya: "Senior Jiraiya, you wandering in the ninja world, you should be able to find that in the current ninja world, some remote small countries have developed various , technology that makes people's lives very comfortable, such as movies-but Konoha doesn't even have a movie theater.

Moreover, Konoha now has to import a large amount of food and meat from outside, relying on the supply of the country of fire, which makes me feel a little incredible. "

What Hyuga Yuzuru said made Zirai speechless. He traveled all over the country, and naturally he had seen many places. What Hyuga Yuzuru said was true, but he still couldn't help but argue: "However, The life of the villagers in Konoha is actually quite good.

Although I have seen many prosperous places, there are dirty places everywhere that people can't bear to look directly at. The rich spend their days and nights, while the homeless wanderers can only sleep on the streets.

Although Konoha is not so prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no homeless people. Even if a war breaks out, the ordinary people in the village will not need to be displaced and leave their homes until the last moment like ordinary people outside. Although they are not very rich, there should be no one who can't afford to eat..."

Yuzuru Hyuga disagreed with this, he shook his head and said, "Have you seen what Konoha looked like when the first generation founded Konoha? Almost everyone in the ninja world wanted to join Konoha, and there was an endless stream of people outside the village. It is people who come here admiringly, and they bring many unheard of whimsy, delicious food, interesting customs, handicrafts...

At that time, Konoha was really regarded as the most beautiful place in the world, a dream place that everyone yearned for, but after 60 years, has Konoha become better?

I only saw that Konoha's industrial level gradually stopped, and the people's entertainment items did not have any innovations. There were only continuous wars, destroying the world time and time again, and the whole world began to stagnate. "

Yuzuru Hyuga's words made Jiraiya feel a little sad. As an old man in Konoha Village, he couldn't argue, but he could only sigh.

So what?

War... how to stop?

He has seen how many children were displaced because of the destruction of the war family, but he is just a ninja... Even if he becomes Hokage, he doesn't think he can change anything.

Jiraiya looked at Yuzuru Hyuga, but saw his slightly indifferent expression at the moment, obviously talking about these things, which reminded him of some unpleasant things, but soon, Yuzuru Hyuga's expression became resolute stand up.

"I want to change everything and make the people of Konoha better! Better than anyone else!"

Zilai was also moved by the powerful words, but he could only show a complicated smile, and said softly: "I hope, I can see this day with my own eyes."

Yuzuru Hyuga turned his head to stare at him. The two of them were strolling on the street at the moment. Their conspicuous appearance caused people passing by occasionally to look sideways, but Yuzuru Hyuga just stared at him without realizing it: "So, your dream What about Ziraiya senior?"

Zilai also let out a sigh of relief.

my dream?

It took him a long time before he smiled dumbly, and said calmly: "It's roughly the same as Master Fifth's dream."

Hyuga Yuzuru looked away, he slowed down, stood side by side with Jiraiya, and said with a smile: "That's really great... Right now, there is a way for Master Jiraiya to realize his dream and go one step further Opportunity."

Zilai could not help but look at him, and said softly, "What is it?"

"Accept a child as an apprentice, help him grow as much as possible, and... protect him."

Hyuga Yuzuru stopped in his tracks, standing at the door of Hyuga's house, his blue eyes looked into the distance, as if he saw something.

Jiraiya glanced at it, found nothing, thoughtful: Is it pure perception?Unlike, his eyes clearly saw something, that is to say, is it still the ability to roll eyes?

Unlike ordinary white eyes, it needs to be opened to function?No, from my perception, the pupil power of his eyes is astonishing, even in the most normal state, it is stronger than I have ever seen... In other words, his white eyes are equivalent to being opened at any time status?

Uh, in other words, can this eye still be called a white eye?

Jirai was also secretly startled, waited for a while with Yuzuru Hyuga, and saw who came.

He shrank his pupils slightly at first, and then turned his eyes away as if avoiding him. There was guilt in his eyes, and helplessness that he didn't know how to describe. He was silent for a moment: "Is he the child you asked me to teach?"

"of course."

Hyuga Yuzuru calmly said: "Didn't you say that for you, the meaning of master and apprentice is far deeper than that of teacher and student? Then, it is also what you should do to take on the responsibility of Naruto, right? senior."

Jiraiya looked at Yuzuru Hyuga, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it, still a little young? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let him study hard from Ninja School first, and enjoy the carefree life?"

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. His identity is doomed. He can't grow up carefree like ordinary people. Some people around Konoha are not friendly. We must let him have A certain amount of self-preservation."

Yuzuru Hyuga just said that, and Naruto had already rushed to the front.

The entanglement and gloom of yesterday had disappeared from his face, and he seemed to have become carefree and cheerful again: "Brother Yuxian! I'm here!"

Yuzuru Hinata smiled and touched Naruto Uzumaki's head: "Well, let's go, by the way, I invite you to have dinner together."

"Okay! Also, is this uncle my teacher?" Naruto Uzumaki turned his head to look at Jiraiya, who also faced him with a cynical smile: "Uncle?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked him up and down, and said suspiciously: "This uncle, is he very strong? I always feel as if I have seen him somewhere... ah!"

"The women's bathhouse! I've seen this uncle in the women's bathhouse..." Before Naruto finished speaking, Jiraiya stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

Looking at the Hyuga tribe on duty at the gate, he smiled awkwardly: "Hahahaha! Just passing by, everyone may pass by the women's bathhouse."

He covered Naruto's mouth with one hand, almost half-embracing him and walked in: "Master Godaimu, where are we going to eat? Where are we going? This is the first time I have come back to the Hyuga Clan."

Yuzuru Hinata smiled and nodded to the people at the door, and they greeted respectfully.

Walking inside, Yuzuru Hinata chose to go to her new home instead of the place where Hinata Hinata and her mother were. At this moment, in the courtyard, only the maid Riko was cleaning the courtyard at home.

He doesn't have a wife who is as hardworking as his mother to clean the house in an orderly manner. After Xun was called by him to work hard in the Hokage Building, she often ignored these trivial matters at home and could only entrust other maids to spend more time, including When it is necessary to meet guests like this, the maids also go to the big kitchen to prepare.

"Master Fifth Generation!"

"Ah, Ms. Riko, thank you for your hard work... I have guests today, and I need to trouble you to go to the kitchen to make arrangements. Let's use the Frosty Country beef that my mother received before, and make a sukiyaki pot...Senior Jiraiya, Naruto, can you?"

Since it is agreed that it is a family banquet, naturally it will not be too complicated. Sukiyaki pot is easy to prepare and easy to eat. This kind of Japanese-style hot pot is always prepared at home.

Jiraiya Naruto nodded again and again, Naruto would eat anything, and Jiraiya obviously had long admired the beef from the Land of Frost, just hearing it made his mouth water.

"Yes!" Lizi immediately agreed.

Yuzuru Hyuga took the guests in, and Li Zi made tea for them before going out.

Sitting in the living room, Zirai also looked around.

"As expected of the Hinata family."

he sighed.

Yuzuru Hyuga smiled slightly, but he was not in a hurry to get to the point—in case everyone loses their appetite after the chat is over.

Chattering here and there, listening to Jiraiya talk about his experience of wandering in the Ninja world, Naruto was also very fascinated.

The sukiyaki pot was ready, and the three of them ate it directly.

Hyuga Yuzuru was also amazed at eating this kind of yak meat grown on the snow-capped mountains. The lean part of the meat is firm, while the fat part has an extremely beautiful snow pattern texture. It is not enough to cook and eat, so I added There is an oven, and three people can eat each other. Lizi, who is in charge of preparing materials from the kitchen, is sweating a little, and even called a maid as foreign aid to cope.

But there was nothing he could do about it——with Hyuga Yuzuru's current status, if he went out to eat, if he didn't have a private room, he would have to be surrounded by the crowd, and it wasn't secret enough, and it was inconvenient to talk about things.

This made him think, or let the Hinata family members open a store, so that it is convenient to eat whatever they want, and it is also convenient to have a party with friends.

He can also think about and develop his favorite dishes: To be honest, the food in Naruto World is mainly Japanese-style. Let him eat it. Although he has been used to it for so many years, he really feels that the taste is just ordinary.

When the three of them were full and the mess on the table was cleared away by the maid, and replaced with refreshing barley tea, the three of them fell silent in a tacit understanding.

Jirai also sneaked a sneak peek at Naruto from time to time, and Naruto, who was always carefree, could read the air with full eyesight, and sat quietly on the spot.

"Senior Jiraiya, I hope you can accept Uzumaki Naruto next to me as your disciple."

Hyuga Yuzuru made another request in front of Naruto.

Jilai remained calm, he didn't want Naruto to misunderstand anything, but he couldn't give an answer immediately, he looked at Naruto beside him with complicated eyes.

And Yuzuru Hyuga said softly at this moment: "The reason why, as Hokage, I made such an embarrassing request to Senior Jiraiya at this moment is because I think this is what Konoha should do to Naruto." compensate.

What's more, I think that Jiraiya-sama also needs to shoulder this responsibility-as a junior, it may be rude for me to say something, but even so, I think I still have to say it. "

Yuzuru Hyuga glanced at Naruto, at this moment he was looking at himself eagerly, anxiously waiting for the fate to be revealed.

"You once said that for you, the relationship between master and apprentice is far closer and more important than the so-called teacher and student.

But Naruto is the child of your disciple, and after all these years, you just took a look at Konoha from a distance when you came back—is this really good?

If Senior Bofeng knew what happened to Naruto, maybe he wouldn't blame you, but in your heart... can you really have a clear conscience? "

There is no way to quibble.

Even so, he is not without excuses.

How to make your excuses in front of Yuzuru Hinata?

'Because the three-generation old man placed him and concealed his identity, so I shouldn't disturb his decision? '

'Because I'm not happy with some decisions and actions of the old man of three generations, so I don't want to waste my youth in the quagmire of Konoha? '

'I want to get Tsunade back...'

'I want to find the Destiny Child that the fairy said...'

Either way, Jiraiya couldn't convince himself.

He lowered his head, took a long time, and took a deep breath: "It's my fault."

He doesn't run away from his mistakes, and if it's his fault...take responsibility.

The current Hokage is the fifth generation in front of him.

Yuzuru Hinata.

As Konoha's ninja, even if it's just because of responsibility---you must respect his decision.

Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at Naruto: "I don't want to discuss the countermeasures of the predecessors, but in my opinion, there is absolutely no need to conceal your identity."
