Afternoon.

Hotaru the Earth Spider and the Retreat Guard return to the fortress of Mount Katsuragi.

Seeing the return of the Earth Spider Hotaru and the Retreat Guard, the Servant Walker immediately introduced Hinata Ichiro and Summer to the Earth Spider Firefly and the Retreat Guard.

After the introduction of the Servant Walker, Hotaru the Earth Spider and the Escape Guard met Hinata Ichiro and Summer.

As for why Hinata Ichiro and Summer appeared in Katsuragiyama Fortress, Soil Spider Hotaru and Retreat Guard didn't care - in Earth Spider Hotaru and Retreat Guard, Hinata Ichiro and Summer who appeared in Katsuragagi Fortress were either Walkers who came to look for service, or they passed by.

(Because Hinata Ichiro had already asked the Servant Walker to hide his purpose of coming to Katsuragi Mountain Fortress from Earth Spider Hotaru in advance, neither Earth Spider Hotaru nor the Escape Guard knew the purpose of Hinata Ichiro's visit to Katsuragi Mountain Fortress.) ）

After the introduction, Hinata Ichiro suggested that Hotaru take the Earth Spider around the fortress by himself.

The reason for Hinata Ichiro's proposal is clear to the servants.

Therefore, the Servant Walker agreed to Hinata Ichiro's proposal.

After the service walker agreed, the earth spider firefly naturally had no objection.

So, Hinata Ichiro and Hotaru the Earth Spider walked out.

……

Somewhere in the fortress of Mount Katagi.

Hinata Ichiro looked at Hotaru and asked, "Hotaru, do you want to fly?"

"Fly!?" said the earth spider Hotaru, "Brother Ichiro, of course I want to fly!"

"It's just that I'm not a bird!"

"If birds can fly, why can't that person fly?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Birds can fly because they have wings!" said the earth spider Firefly, "People can't fly because people don't have wings!"

"What if people could fly?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"I don't believe it!" said Hotaru the Earth Spider.

Hinata Ichiro stretched out his hand in front of Hotaru the Earth Spider and said, "Hotaru, hold my hand first, and then close your eyes!"

"Remember, you can't open your eyes until I tell you to open them!"

"What is this for?" Hotaru asked, looking at Hinata Ichiro's outstretched hand, with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask!" Hinata Ichiro said, "You'll know then!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro say this, Hotaru the Earth Spider did as he said.

……

The sky above the fortress of Mount Katsuragi.

"Alright!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Hotaru, you can open your eyes!"

Hearing this, the earth spider firefly opened her eyes.

"Ahh

When Hotaru found that she and Ichiro Hinata were above the fortress of Mount Katragagi, Hotaru couldn't help but make a sound.

In the voice of the earth spider firefly, there is fear, but there is more excitement.

Looking down and then around, the earth spider Hotaru muttered to herself, "Is this a dream?"

Hearing Hotaru Spider's muttering, Hinata Ichiro stretched out his free other hand and pinched Hotaru Spider's cheek.

"Does it hurt?" asked Hinata Ichiro, pinching Hotaru's cheek.

The slight pain in her cheek made Hotaru realize that she wasn't dreaming.

"Wow-" Hotaru couldn't help Hinata Ichiro, who was still pinching his cheeks, and said loudly with an excited face, "I'm flying!"

"I'm flying!"

Looking at the excited earth spider Hotaru, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Hotaru, do you want to fly as you want according to your own opinions?"

"Yes!" Hotaru nodded.

Hearing this, Hinata Ichiro let go of his hand pinching the cheek of the earth spider Hotaru and nodded to the void.

The next second.

A transparent ball envelops Hinata Ichiro and Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"Hotaru, I use my power to maintain the transparent ball, and you use your power to control the direction of the transparent ball's flight!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Brother Ichiro, I don't know how to use my own power to control the direction of the transparent ball!" said the earth spider Hotaru.

Hearing Hotaru say this, Ichiro Hinata informed Hotaru of the method of controlling the direction of the flight of the transparent ball.

After learning from Hinata Ichiro about the method of controlling the flight direction of the transparent ball, Hotaru the Earth Spider immediately tried it.

The first attempt to control the direction of the transparent sphere's flight failed.

In this regard, Hotaru the earth spider was neither discouraged nor annoyed, but asked Hinata Ichiro for advice.

After understanding why he failed through Hinata Ichiro's guidance, Hotaru the Earth Spider has a bottom in his heart.

So, on the second attempt to control the direction of the transparent ball's flight, the Earth Spider Firefly, who had learned her lesson, succeeded.

Seeing the transparent ball flying in the sky according to the idea of the earth spider Hotaru, the corners of Hinata Ichiro's mouth raised.

Hinata Ichiro thought to himself, "Judging from the fact that the Earth Spider Firefly can control the flight direction of the transparent ball in just two times, the qualifications of the Earth Spider Firefly are really as I expected!"

"We can't let the Earth Spider Firefly stay in Katsuragsan Fortress any longer!"

"If the earth spider firefly is allowed to continue to stay in the fortress of Mount Katsuragi, it will be a waste of a piece of good talent and beautiful jade!"

It turned out that Hinata Ichiro asked the Earth Spider Hotaru to control the flight direction of the transparent ball in order to secretly verify the talent of the Earth Spider Hotaru.

……

In the evening.

Looking at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and thinking that this place was a long way from Katsuragi Fortress, Hinata Ichiro knew that it was time for him and Hotaru to return to Katsuragi Fortress.

Therefore, although the Earth Spider Hotaru is not yet full of fun, Hinata Ichiro still takes over the control of the flight direction of the transparent ball from the Earth Spider Firefly - after all, it is not too early.

On the way to Katsuragan Fortress, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Hotaru, do you want to learn how to fly?"

"Of course!" said Hotaru the Earth Spider.

Speaking of this, Hotaru asked, "Brother Ichiro, are you willing to teach me how to fly?"

In the face of Hotaru's inquiry, Hinata Ichiro said the purpose of his visit to Mt. Katsuragi.

After revealing the intention to the earth spider Hotaru and the coil, Hinata Ichiro asked, "Hotaru, would you like to go back to Konoha with me?"

Earth Spider Hotaru looked at Hinata Ichiro and said with a blank face: "Brother Ichiro, I don't know!"

For the ignorance of the earth spider firefly, Hinata Ichiro expected it - after all, the earth spider firefly is still young.

"When you go back, ask the seniors of the service!" Hinata Ichiro said, "I believe that the seniors of the servicemen will show you the way forward!"

"Hmm!" said Hotaru the Earth Spider, "I'll ask Grandpa!"

……

Night.

The Walker Room.

Looking at the earth spider Hotaru who came to his room, the servant walker asked, "Hotaru, why don't you sleep yet?"

"Grandpa, I know the purpose of Brother Ichiro's visit!" Hotaru said.

After the Earth Spider Firefly finished speaking, the Servant Walker understood why the Earth Spider Firefly came to find him.

"Is there a question you want to ask Grandpa?" asked the servant walker.

"Yes!" said Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"Ask!" said the Servant Walker.

"Grandpa, should I go to Konoha?" asked Hotaru the Earth Spider.

For this question of the earth spider firefly, the Servant Walker did not choose to answer it positively.

"Hotaru, do you like being with Ichiro?" asked the Servant Walker.

"Grandpa, I'm asking you a question!" said the earth spider Hotaru, "Why did you ask me!"

"Before I can answer your question, Grandpa needs to ask you a few questions!" said the Servant Walker.

Hearing what the Servant Walker said, Hotaru the Earth Spider told the Servant Walker about his feelings with Hinata Ichiro.

"I like it!" Hotaru said, "Grandpa, when I'm with Brother Ichiro, I have a very comfortable feeling. ”

"Hotaru, are you happy with Ichiro?" asked the Servant Walker.

"Happy!" said the earth spider Hotaru.

"Hotaru, if Ichiro leaves, will you miss Ichiro?" asked the Servant Walker.

"Yes!" said Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"In that case, then you should go to Konoha!" said the Servant Walker.

"Grandpa, will you come with me to Konoha?" asked Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"Grandpa won't be going!" said the Servant Walker.

"Why?" asked Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"Because grandpa is old!" replied the servant, "and when you are old, you don't want to move!"

Although the Earth Spider Hotaru did not completely understand the words of the Servant Walker, the Earth Spider Hotaru knew what choice she should make.

"Grandpa, if you don't go to Konoha, then I won't go to Konoha either!" said the earth spider Hotaru, "I don't want to leave Grandpa!"

Hearing the Earth Spider Firefly say this, the heart of the Servant Walker was full of relief.

"Hotaru, grandpa is very happy that you chose to accompany grandpa!" said the servant walker, "However, it is more suitable for you to go to Konoha than to accompany grandpa!"

"No!" said the earth spider Firefly, "If Grandpa doesn't leave, I won't leave!"

"Hehe!" the Servant Walker smiled.

……

Morning.

Somewhere in the fortress of Mount Katagi.

Hinata Ichiro asked Hotaru the earth spider beside him, "Hotaru, about you going to Konoha with me, did you ask the seniors of the Walkers?"

"Brother Ichiro, I've already asked Grandpa!" said the earth spider Hotaru.

"Would you like to come with me to Konoha?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Grandpa is old, I want to stay here with grandpa!" said the earth spider Hotaru, "So, I can't go to Konoha with you!"

"Otherwise, Grandpa will have no one to accompany him!"

"In other words, the reason why you don't want to go to Konoha with me is because the Senpai of the Servant wants to stay here?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Yes!" Hotaru the Earth Spider first affirmed, and then said, "Actually, I'm very willing to go to Konoha with you!"

"But I can't leave Grandpa behind!"

"Hotaru, I see what you mean!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"I'm sorry!" apologized Hotaru the Earth Spider.

"Don't tell me I'm sorry!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Because you don't have a place to be sorry for me!"

……

The abode of the Servant Walker and others.

Living room.

"Senpai Senpai of Service, I asked Hotaru just now!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Through inquiry, I understood Hotaru's thoughts - Hotaru refused to go to Konoha with me!"

Speaking of this, Hinata Ichiro paused and said, "Regarding the reason why Hotaru refused to go to Konoha with me, Senior Servant Walker, I think you must be clear!"

"I do know!" said the Servant Walker.

"Senpai Senpai, I want you to settle in Konoha!" Hinata Ichiro said.

After Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, the servant was silent.

"Birds are tired of loving branches, people are old and loving their hometowns!" Hinata Ichiro looked at the silent servant and said, "I can understand your reluctance to leave here!"

"Because everyone in the world has the idea of returning to their roots!"

"Still, I want you to think about Hotaru more!"

"Hotaru is just a ten-year-old child - it's a child, and she likes to be lively!"

"It's not good to confine Hotaru to such a remote fortress!"

"I know!" said the Servant Walker.

"Senior Servant Walker, to say something offensive, compared to Hotaru's upcoming youth, you and the Retreat Guard are both half-cut people who have fallen into the ground!" Hinata Ichiro asked, "After a hundred years for you and the Retreat Guard, will it be possible to let Hotaru grow alone here?"

"Of course I can't let Hotaru grow old here alone!" said the Servant Walker.

"Senior Servant Walker, you said that you can't let Hotaru grow old here alone, then let me ask you a question!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"What's the problem?" asked the Servant Walker.

"Have you planned for Hotaru's future?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

Hinata Ichiro's question left the Servant Walker at no wonder how to answer it - although the Servant Walker had indeed planned Hotaru's future, the Servant Walker knew that his plans were inappropriate.

Seeing that the Servant Walker was silent, Hinata Ichiro thought that the Servant Walker had never planned the future for the Earth Spider Hotaru.

When Hinata Ichiro said what he thought, the Servant Walker spoke out to refute Hinata Ichiro's self-righteousness.

"No!" said the Servant Walker, "I've planned Hotaru's future!"

"It's just that there's something wrong with the plan I've made!"

The word 'inappropriate' in the words of the Servant Walker reminded Hinata Ichiro of the original trajectory of the Hokage World - in the original Hokage World, before dying, the Servant Walker embedded the forbidden spell of the Earth Spider Clan in the body of the Earth Spider Hotaru at the request of the Earth Spider Hotaru.

"In your opinion, is it better for you to plan for Hotaru's future, or is it better for Hotaru to go to Konoha with me?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Compared to the future I planned for Hotaru, it's naturally better to let Hotaru go to Konoha with you!" said the Servant Walker.

"Since you think it's better to let Hotaru go to Konoha with me, then why do you insist on staying here?" Hinata Ichiro said.

For a moment, the service walker did not know how to answer.

"Hotaru can wait until you die before settling in Konoha, but I don't think that's the best way to do it!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Why is that?" said the Servant Walker.

"People go tea cool!" Hinata Ichiro said.

The simple four words made the servant who had seen everything in the world instantly understand what Hinata Ichiro wanted to express.

"Ichiro, let me think about it!" said the Servant Walker, "If you have a decision, I'll tell you!"

"Good!" Hinata Ichiro said.

……

A few days later.

After some careful consideration, he returned to the hermitage of the Earth Spider Clan, and the Servant Walker made the decision to move to Konoha.

When they learned that the Walker had decided to move to Konoha, both Hinata Ichiro and Hotaru were very happy.

……

A day later.

The Warriors, Hotaru the Earth Spider, and the Retreat Guards bid farewell to the Katsuragiyama Fortress.

Immediately, under the leadership of Hinata Ichiro, everyone headed towards Konoha.

(The move of the Servant Walker, Hotaru the Earth Spider, and the Escape Guard to Konoha does not mean that the Katsuragiyama Fortress is abandoned—the reclusive Earth Spider clan will send someone to take over the Katsuragagi Fortress.) ）
