Seeing Hinata's rare coquettish posture, Naruto was surprised and wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and hugged the girl tightly in his arms. Hinata also stopped talking, and wrapped her arms around Naruto's waist and rested her head gently on his chest, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere that belonged to the two of them at this moment.

Naruto's heart was filled with sweetness, joy and satisfaction, and he couldn't help but bow his head, close his eyes and breathe softly, brushing the girl's lightly scented hair.

Hinata in his arms suddenly squirmed, and laughed, "Itchy!" As he spoke, he twisted his neck and gently pushed his head against Naruto.

Naruto laughed and hugged even tighter.

……

It was night, Hinata had already returned, and Naruto was alone at home.

It was dark outside, and the small room was dim and quiet. Naruto sat cross-legged on the cot alone, the futon squeezed into a corner by him, and his mental will was all immersed in his body.

Just like what he has been doing for more than a month, he is still trying to find that wisp of ...... in his body Chakra that should have dissipated.

That is, the chakra that gave him the "future self" of his memory.

By now, Naruto had naturally guessed that that "future self" might just be his own in another parallel world, and at the moment of life and death, a trace of his will carried a faint wisp of chakra, crossed the parallel world, and melted into his body when he was 6 years old.

So he created a different Naruto Uzumaki, and also created a more different Konoha and the ninja world.

Naruto even guessed that the reason why he was able to have such a high talent in space-time ninjutsu might also be related to the wisp of chakra that he fused with across time and space.

So the more he thought about it, the more Naruto wanted to find the wisp of chakra in his body again. One day, he will be able to use this chakra to cross time and space, go to the world where "he" is, and rewrite the future.

Perhaps countless parallel worlds mean that countless tragedies are bound to exist, but Naruto wants to make the world related to him ...... Try to be happy and peaceful.

Before you know it, the night has passed, and it is the early morning of the next day.

The night is coming to an end, and the day is not yet dawn.

In the small room, Naruto opened his eyes on the cot, and after a few breaths, he turned over and sat up. After a few simple stretches in the small room, he took the toiletries in his short sleeves and turned on the faucet.

"Whoa...... Whoa" Icy tap water was poured over his face, and Naruto covered his face with a wet towel and rubbed it vigorously a few times, revealing a resolute and confident countenance.

Looking out the window at the half-dark sky, Naruto stood quietly for a moment before putting the toiletries back one by one.

Grabbing the coat from the cot and stretching it out, Naruto put it on. Picking up the Konoha forehead guard on the small table, and after thinking about it, Naruto put it down again.

Finally, the blonde boy stood there with his eyes closed, and after a few breaths, he had disappeared silently into the small room, as if he had never appeared.

The starry sky outside the window gradually whitened, the morning light sprinkled on the small bed by the window, and the bedding that still had residual body temperature looked a little messy, and it was obvious that Naruto was not in the habit of folding the quilt every day.

The morning light is getting brighter and brighter.

The light and shadow flickered, and there was a blond boy figure in the room at some point, he had a little more dust on his body than when he left, and his face was a little tired, but his resolute look did not diminish at all.

Naruto turned his head to look out the window and squinted his eyes to see that it was already dawn.

"A mature ninjutsu must be replicable and learnable, but now I'm jumping into a ninjutsu that parallels time and space...... I am still in the stage of 'empiricism', and I can only rely on my own feelings and experiences to come and go, and I can't analyze the basic principles at all. ”

Naruto muttered to himself, touching his chin, frowning a little distressed.

"But...... There will be progress, but I don't know if I will be able to complete this ninjutsu completely in my lifetime, jumping between the past and the future in countless parallel worlds?"

This is Naruto's imagination of the future of this special space-time ninjutsu, and he feels that the end of this space-time ninjutsu may be able to break the limit of time and travel freely through time and space.

It's just that there are also risks associated with developing and frequently using this ninjutsu...... After all, a person's lifespan is limited, and the more Naruto spends his own time in other planes, the shorter his lifespan in his own world will be.

If he doesn't progress in this technique, he may age many times faster than others. At that time, maybe this ninjutsu will be sealed, even if Naruto doesn't care about himself, but he still has Hinata, and many friends, so he can't be so willful.

"If this technique can be completely completed, when the time comes, I really want to see the 'different worlds' related to 'me'. ”

Naruto sighed lightly, according to his guess, the parallel world was caused by "different choices in history", that is, there were as many parallel worlds as there were possibilities. But so far, he has not been able to find a parallel world forked by his own "choice".

It seems that his "line" is the only one. No matter what he chooses, there will be no different branches.

After thinking quietly in the room for a moment, Naruto came back to his senses and remembered that there was something else going on this morning. "By the way, there's Konohamaru and their survival drills. He shook his head, grabbed the forehead guard on the table, and grabbed the black strap and tied it to his forehead.

When inspecting the ninja bag, Naruto thought about it, went to the cabinet where the books were stacked, pulled out a random one, put it in the ninja bag, and finally buckled the ninja bag behind his waist.

Wow, pulling the zipper to the top, Naruto smiled and pushed the door open.

……

Seventh exercise ground.

Just when Konohamaru, Udon, and Moe Huang were waiting impatiently, Naruto's figure finally appeared. Konohamaru took out his watch and looked at it, clicked, the minute hand moved, it was exactly eight o'clock......

"It's too much, isn't it! It's time to step on it?!" Konohamaru yelled at Naruto unbearably, and the other two little guys also showed indignant expressions, they all came to gather when it was dawn, and they couldn't be sloppy when it was a matter of whether or not it could become a shinobi.

And all three of them followed Naruto's advice, and none of them ate breakfast! From five o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock, they were already hungry.

When Naruto heard the question of his preparatory subordinates, he said solemnly, "Konohamaru, what are you talking about? Observing time is the most basic quality of a good ninja! Okay, without further ado, let me introduce you to the basic rules of today's exercise." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out three small bells.
