"Great!"

Kakashi's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he was very excited to take the book from Jiraiya's hand, which the latter had just taken out of his arms.

His eyes fell on the cover of the book, and there was a faint fiery color in his eyes.

Jiraiya smiled meaningfully at Kakashi and said, "It's still you kid who knows the goods." ”

"Jiraiya-sama, if there's nothing going on, I'll go first. Kakashi said with an eager expression.

"Hmm... It's nothing else. Jiraiya had just opened his mouth when Kakashi disappeared in front of him.

"Flying Thor's Technique..."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and at this moment, his eyes turned, and he saw that in the courtyard of the Qimu clan below, there was also a person who raised his eyes and looked here.

"Yo, Shuomao, long time no see. ”

Immediately, Zilai also jumped and landed in front of Qimu Shuomao.

...

Hokage Building, high-rise conference room.

"I think it's time to hand over the responsibility of the Hokage to the next generation of young people. Shuimen looked at the senior Konoha elders in front of him and said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, Fugaku, Mito Menyan, Zhuan Koharu, and the previous Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash all showed surprise.

"Watergate, isn't it too early for you to say this?"

Fugaku looked at the water gate, whose appearance was almost unchanged from when he succeeded Hokage more than twenty years ago.

Although they are not young anymore, it is indeed a little premature for Mizuto to choose the successor of the next Hokage at this time.

The other elders nodded their heads, obviously all of them.

However, they naturally didn't think that Mizuto didn't want to serve as Hokage anymore, everything he had done for the village over the years was not only for the people in the village, but also for the entire ninja world.

"True, so I don't mean to find a successor right away. ”

Mizuto shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's hard for me to decide who the next Hokage will be. ”

"In today's village, there are many people who have the strength and qualifications to hold this position. ”

Several high-level people looked at each other, all smiling.

For today's Konoha, the Hokage's candidate is indeed not the only one.

"So, my idea is that in the next few years, or even later, the Hokage's throne will be inherited, even as an election system. ”

"Of course, the candidates for these elections are first and foremost determined by the village leaders. ”

Mizuto said that for a long time, the succession of the Hokage candidates was almost always decided by the two people of the predecessor, the Hokage and the Daimyo.

But at that time, for various reasons, there were not many candidates in the village who could hold this position.

But now the times are different, so the system has to change.

"Huh. ”

The third generation Hokage chuckled lightly and said, "Since there are so many excellent juniors, fair competition is also a matter of course, I have no opinion." ”

At this time, Mizumon looked at Fuyue, who frowned slightly, and said with a light smile: "Sasuke is also among the candidates I have proposed, I think with his strength and merits, the other elders should have no objections." ”

He knew what Fugaku was hesitating about, and he also knew that in the hearts of the two elders, Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu, there was still a factional dispute.

This is something they've been learning for decades, and even now, it's unlikely to change it completely.

"I have called several elders today, and I am not in a hurry to let everyone express their opinions, whether my plan is feasible or not can only be confirmed according to time. ”

Watergate looked straight and said, "But at least, we need the courage to carry out reforms, so that we can progress." ”

...

Ichiraku ramen shop.

Naruto and Hinata sat down near the desk.

"Boss, please give me two large bowls of original ramen. Naruto raised his hand at the desk.

"Yo, it's Naruto and Hinata, how are you doing?"

As soon as the busy hand-beating boss heard Naruto's voice, he followed the voice and immediately looked very enthusiastic.

Although Naruto's defeat of Sato on the moon was not deliberately publicized, some people still knew that this time, it was Mizumon and Naruto and others who resolved the crisis on Earth.

"Hinata, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you today, just order. Naruto smiled at Hinata and patted his chest.

"Hmm. ”

Hinata nodded.

However, after a while, the waiter brought two large bowls to Naruto and Hinata, and there was still a little surprise in the latter's eyes.

After all, Hinata's match in the Big Stomach King not long ago was too impressive.

It's just that for her gaze, Hinata and Naruto are unaware of it.

Although their eyes are not completely opposed, their attention is on each other.

Since the last time they were on the moon, the relationship between the two has become different from before.

At this time, outside the Ichiraku ramen shop, Asami, who was secretly poking his head out to watch this scene, retracted his neck and nodded with a smile.

"That guy who gave up people, to some extent, can be regarded as a good deed..."

...

"Boss, check out. ”

After eating, Naruto took out his wallet from his ninja pouch and waved at the hand-punching boss.

This made both Hinata and the hand-hit boss very puzzled, because last time they obviously won a one-year free coupon for Ichiraku Ramen.

Unable to resist Naruto's insistence, the latter finally settled the meal money.

After that, Naruto and Hinata walked around Konoha Street together for a long time.

It wasn't until nightfall that the two embarked on the return journey to the Hyuga clan.

"How's Hanabi's body?" asked Naruto, looking at Hinata beside him.

Hinata responded, "Well, it's okay already. ”

"That's good. ”

Naruto folded his arms behind his head and looked ahead.

Before I knew it, I had already walked to the main entrance of Hinata.

The two looked at each other, and this time, they both thought that the journey could be longer.

"White eyes!"

At this time, in the courtyard of the Hyuga clan, Hanabi opened his eyes in order to test the recovery of his eyesight.

She soon sensed that Naruto and Hinata were outside the door.

Swish!

"Sister..."

Just as she had already walked outside the main gate to greet her, a figure suddenly appeared beside her and covered her mouth as she was about to speak.

Hanabi was startled, and then he saw the face of the person who came.

"Shallow?"

"Shhhhh Asa Yu made a silent gesture and said softly.

They hid behind the door like this, secretly watching Naruto and Hinata outside the door.

"Thank you Naruto-kun for sending me home, I'm here. Hinata lowered her eyes and whispered.

"Hmm..."

Naruto answered, stretching out his fingers and scratching his face, as if he had something unspeakable, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Behind the door, Qianyu was anxious for him.

"Stupid brother, say it quickly..."

"Naruto-kun, what's wrong with you?" Hinata tilted her head slightly, looking at Naruto suspiciously.

"No... It's okay. Naruto stumbled.

"Oh. ”

Hinata pursed her lips and said, "In that case, I'll go back first." ”

"Brother is such a big fool!" "The shallow darkness in the dark is anxious for Naruto.

At this time, even Hanabi has realized the essence of the matter, but she is talking about Hinata in her heart.

"Sister, at this time, why have you become so sluggish!!"

The two people behind the door were anxious, their faces anxious.

After saying goodbye to Naruto, Hinata slowly turned around.

"Wait!"

Watching Hinata turn around, Naruto suddenly let out a voice and grabbed her hand.

Hinata snapped, then looked back at Naruto.

At this time, Naruto took a deep breath, stared into Hinata's eyes, and said, "There are some things, in fact, I don't know how to speak. ”

"My mother and sister had already told me several times when I went out this morning, but now, I can't remember anything about it. ”

Naruto said something that seemed a little logically disordered, but Hinata listened to his tone, his body as if he had been electrocuted, and his eyes rippled.

"What should I say..."

Naruto bit his lower lip hard and said, "Actually, I didn't even realize myself before, I thought that Hinata and I were just companions who grew up together. ”

"But the last time I heard from my father that you had been taken away, I felt unspeakably sad, as if the most precious thing had been suddenly taken away from me. ”

"At that time, I was really scared, and my mind went blank during that time I was looking for you. ”

"That's a feeling I've never felt before, and I think I'd be crazy if I couldn't find you!"

The bright moonlight shone on the streets, the boy spoke loudly, and the girl listened quietly.

Hinata's ethereal and clear eyes condensed a little bit of crystal.

"I didn't know what it was called, until my parents told me that I realized if I was stupid. ”

Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly, but then he stared closely into Hinata's eyes and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Hinata, I like you!"

Hearing Naruto's confession, Hinata finally cried tears of joy and threw herself into his arms.

At first, Naruto's body seemed a little stiff, but feeling the girl's body temperature and softness, he gradually tightened his grip on Hinata, and the look in his eyes was extremely firm.

"Hinata, I will never let others snatch you away from me in the future, and I will not let you leave me again!"

"Well, so am I, my favorite Naruto-kun!" Hinata in his arms also said.

Seeing this scene, the shallow and fireworks behind the door looked at each other, and they were all relieved.

The two sat down leaning against the wall.

"My sister's wish has finally come true. Hanabi smiled.

Qianyou nodded, and said with a smile on his little face.

"Brother, who said that you are not good at words, those words just now are simply too good!"

...
