Chapter 190: Promise and FLAG are just a thought

Just as "Hinata Hinata Hinata" and Naruto were in a different mood and approaching the same goal, Hinata. The little fan, who had been waiting patiently, gradually felt a little impatient and lost his temper.

"Although I know that Naruto must have his reasons for doing things, but ...... It's been a long wait, isn't it?! ”

Sullenly, he lifted his foot and kicked the pebbles at his feet far away. After looking around and finding no other pastime to enjoy, the small fan stopped a little. While squatting on the ground with his hands and arms in his hands, he puffed out his bun face, and muttered and complained.

"Hey, Naruto ran around again without saying a word, and it wasn't the first time anyway...... But, Shikamaru, Dingji, Ino...... Why did their fathers come to pick them up, and I haven't even seen my mother and brother until now, let alone my father! That's not right, right! Anyway, I'm also the first in this year's freshman entrance exam! Why didn't anyone compliment me a word or two? Especially my brother! I said that I would always be with me, so I came to take the exam...... Brother, this big liar! Hum! ”

……

As Sasuke said, the trio of Pig Deer Butterfly has been brought home by the older generation of Pig Deer Butterfly after being busy with the daily work at hand not long ago.

But what Sasuke didn't know was that the reason why the father of this little guy was so good that he was able to arrive on time to pick up the children home was because they didn't know about the invasion of the group from Yunyin Village.

It is well known that the Yamanaka clan is good at spiritual secret arts, while the Nara clan is a control secret technique that manipulates shadows...... And finally, the Akido clan, which is often a combat-type ninja in the Pig Deer Butterfly Squad group, is usually responsible for the main output and meat shield due to their well-known multiplication technique.

There seems to be no commonality between the three, but in this incident, because of the fact that the advantages and disadvantages in their respective fields are quite obvious, Naruto was excluded from the list of families who secretly strengthened the village's defenses.

After all, among these three families, whether it is the Nara clan who is good at giving advice and thinking tanks, the Yamanaka clan who specialize in espionage and interrogation, or the Akido clan who initiate Biaolai to fight with the tailed beast for the time being...... Almost none of their three families have the ninjutsu that can see through the enemy's disguise, or the ability to conduct reconnaissance on a large scale. In particular, the Akido clan's way of fighting to make itself gigantic, although it is a good hand in battle, but because it is very easy to cause extensive damage and more chaos to the village, it was directly filtered and ignored by Naruto in this incident.

Of course, the Yamanaka clan, as a sentient ninja, may have the ability to detect a wide range of areas to some extent...... However, in the case that the Hyuga clan, who has almost no dead ends, has taken the initiative to take on the responsibility of forming a reconnaissance network, this characteristic of the Yamanaka clan is obviously much inferior.

In addition to them, the family that strengthened the vigilance of the whole village naturally could not be borne by only the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan. Naruto was commissioned to join this operation through the mouth of the three generations of Hokage, and there are two other experts who are extremely good at searching for the whereabouts of the enemy - the Inuzuka clan, who is good at driving ninja dogs and has a keen sense of smell, and the oil girl clan who are insect repellent people who use their bodies to raise insects.

Detect illusions and camouflage with writing wheels, and always maintain a wide range of reconnaissance with white eyes. In terms of distinguishing the identities of all people with suspicious behaviors, and searching and chasing the whereabouts of infiltrated personnel in real time, there are two unreasonable killer moves: the inuzuka ninja dog and the oil girl insect. It can be said that from the moment he was sure that the group of Yunyin Village would not give up, Naruto had already ordered the best arrangement plan he could imagine.

It's a pity that Naruto mistakenly underestimated that the obsession of the people in Yunyin Village to complete the task was so exaggerated, and he didn't expect that their target would be Hinata! So much so that under this large-scale transfer, he subconsciously followed the conventional understanding and gave priority to searching and guarding from the periphery of the village, while ignoring the ninja school that seemed to be relatively safe and secure in the core of the village!

And the reason why it was not the third generation Hokage who was in power to decide and issue orders on his own, but left the responsibility of Naruto, a child, to Naruto was also very clear in his heart - first of all, in the eyes of the third generation Hokage, with only four people, it was far from enough to make any waves in the huge Konoha Ninja Village. And under Naruto's various arrangements, it seems that there are almost no big loopholes, but he is happy to let Naruto do it for him, so that he can be at ease. The second is that in a sense, because of Naruto's personal background and intimate friendship in private, and because he actually saw Naruto's ability when he exterminated Danzang. In the eyes of the two patriarchs, Fugaku and Higaku, whether the three generations of Hokage were forced or voluntary, compared to the three generations of Hokage who had more or less forced the two of them to sacrifice the interests of their own clan, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan were still more willing to obey Naruto's command.

The third and final point is that the three generations of Hokage, who knew that he was old and had planned to retire a long time ago, but now he was only forced to stand up again to preside over the overall situation, has already regarded Naruto, who is immature but always surprises himself, as the official successor of the Hokage after Naruto's father, the fourth generation Hokage wave feng shui gate, the fifth generation Hokage! And using this as a standard, he intentionally or unintentionally entrusted Naruto with the work that should belong to him, so as to train Naruto's abilities that he must have when he takes on the position of Hokage in the future.

Besides, being able to sit in the Hokage's position for a long time, the third generation Hokage is not as cowardly and incompetent as he appears on the surface. On the contrary, he was able to firmly hold the authority of the Hokage under the open and secret battles of the group, but his mind was very shrewd...... Although there is no evidence, whether it is Naruto's astonishing strength enough to wield Danzo, or Naruto's wise mind that is obviously not suitable for the age of a child, it is enough to make the three generations of Hokage suspect that this child still has some hidden ...... about himself In other words, keeping more secrets and actively revealing them to himself is only the tip of the iceberg of Naruto's true face.

In other words, this current unexpected event, which can still remain within his control, in addition to being the first test stone for the third generation Hokage to officially set Naruto on the path to becoming the Hokage, also contains the careful thinking of testing Naruto.

Of course, it's not that the three generations of Hokage suspect that Naruto, who is dedicated to the village, will do anything unfavorable to the village. It's because the three generations of Hokage are eager to know what happened to Naruto in the three years that he was forced by the United Elders of the Danzo and was forced to sacrifice Naruto's childhood in the three years he was forced to do so. What kind of legacy did Watergate and Kushina leave to this child in the foggy Nine-Tails Rebellion that year? And......

The three generations of Hokage want to be sure that when they were bullied and abused since childhood, they are still far beyond their imagination, maintaining a positive style of doing things and a magnanimous heart...... How much do you and this village owe Naruto to this child, and is it worth this child's dedication. Even the three generations of Hokage began to deeply doubt whether a seemingly glorious Hokage's position was a kind of compensation for this child, or a restraint of revenge.

Of course, for the two little guys, Sasuke and Hinata, who are unaware of all these insider entanglements, what they need to worry about and complain about is just another break in their parents' promises.

……

"If I had known that this would be the case, instead of wasting time on such trivial matters, I might as well think of a way to let Naruto teach me that ninjutsu called Spiral Maru......"

After a slight pause in his words, and catching a glimpse of Hinata standing silently with his head bowed and standing silently because of his father's introverted nature and now also feeling lost by his father's appointment, Sasuke naturally couldn't expect any comfort from her, so he had to bury his face between his knees and muttered angrily.

"As compensation...... Next time, no matter what, I'll have to ask Naruto to teach me Spiral Pill...... Well! So decided! Otherwise, I'll ...... Uh, what did Naruto say...... Right! One crying, two troubles, three hangings! I don't believe it, Naruto is willing not to teach me! Hum! ”

And just when Sasuke was careless, he decided to come down and use a killer trick to force Naruto to obey. Hinata, who has been in a depressed mood and looking carelessly, finally saw the familiar figure that had been waiting for a long time. I couldn't help but shout loudly with joy on my face, for fear that my father would not see him, so I tried to stand on my tiptoes, waving my fleshy little hands vigorously to make myself look more conspicuous.

“…… Yes! Father! I am here! Father! This way! ”

"Huh? Uncle Hinata is here? ”

After hearing Hinata's shouts full of surprise, Sasuke, who was immersed in how he should get Naruto to agree to teach him Spiral Pill, subconsciously raised his head, and the unpleasant look on his face became even more intense when he saw the familiar figure that was indeed approaching quickly. Instinctively, he followed Naruto's strange words that popped out of his mouth from time to time, and complained to himself.

"North! Now it's okay, other people's fathers are here, and Naruto and I are left alone...... Hey, bastard dad, when I go back, I must let my mother fix the ...... properly."

"Huh? Wait a minute, it seems a little ...... Wrong? ”

However, before the words in his mouth were finished, the small fan seemed to have a flash of inspiration and realized that there was something strange in the person who came. I couldn't help but hurriedly raise my head again, squinting and staring carefully, confirming the conjecture in my heart.

“…… It's weird, Uncle Hinata...... When will you cover your forehead? I remember my dad telling me before that in the Hyuga clan, only members of the Hyuga clan would do this...... Could it be that this Uncle Hyuga ......?! ”

Although Fugaku did not tell Xiao Tuan Fan that the reason why only the Hyuga clan would cover their foreheads was because they were able to cover the traces of the caged bird seal imprinted on the foreheads of each member of the clan. But in his intuition, the "Uncle Hinata" in front of him suddenly made such an obvious abnormal move, which made Xiao Tuan Fan feel a sense of foreboding, so he instinctively secretly became vigilant.

"Judging from the breath, it is indeed in line with Uncle Hyuga's ninja-level strength...... Tsk, at this time, Naruto, who is more familiar with Uncle Hinata, is not there, so I can't tell if it's Uncle Hyuga himself...... I can only pray that it's not the kind of possibility I guessed, after all, I'm not Naruto's overly powerful pervert, and with my words, it's impossible to win a shinobi......"

Looking up and down with puzzled eyes, he found that the person in front of him was not only abnormally wrapped his forehead tightly, but even on the contour of his face that seemed to be exactly the same, there seemed to be some indescribable abnormal sense of disobedience. While making the little group fan secretly frown and become vigilant instinctively, he quietly probed his palm to the ninja bag, and took out a yellow paper talisman with a strange sigil on his face.

"There's no way, that's all it can be...... Woo...... Naruto only had this one left in the talisman paper he gave me...... If I think too much about it myself, and use it for this kind of thing, then I will lose a lot...... Woo woo, I knew I would have asked for a few more in the first place......"

Aggrieved Baba muttered in a low voice, Sasuke carefully spread out the yellow paper talisman in his hand, revealing the crumpled paper, the sigil that was exactly the same as the Flying Thunder God teleportation mark, before gritting his teeth and folding it again. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Hinata, who was so overjoyed that he subconsciously planned to pounce on the arms of the visitor, and in his puzzled look, he reluctantly stuffed the rune paper into Hinata's palm.

"Wait a minute, Hinata, bring this."

"Daddy, I'm here...... Alas? How...... What's wrong? Sasuke-kun? ”

The unsuspecting pulling force made Hinata's footsteps stagger. After subconsciously maintaining the balance of his body, he realized that someone had stuffed something into his hand. Then he opened his palm, curiously looked at the crumpled strange rune paper in his palm, and asked curiously.

"What is this? Why give it to me? ”

"Too late to explain...... You just need to know that this is a very effective talisman. Once you are in danger, as long as you have it on you, someone will naturally protect you from danger, and that's it. ”

After seeing the figure of "Hinata Hinata Hizaku" getting closer and closer, Sasuke didn't have time to explain to people what the rune paper with the Flying Thunder God teleportation mark was for, so he could only explain vaguely while urging Hinata to hide the rune paper on his body, while solemnly whispering.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you can't lose this amulet, definitely!"

"Huh? Oh...... Good...... Good ......"

The inadvertently anxious and worried look on Sasuke's face made the confused Hinata not understand why Sasuke did this suddenly, but he still chose to believe the advice of Sasuke as a companion, and hid this "talisman" with a little inexplicable familiarity in his underwear pocket.

And after doing all this, in just such a short moment, the heavily armed "Hinata Hinata Hinado" rushed to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something to do temporarily, and I'm delayed for a while......"

Because he didn't know what the father and daughter were called in private, "Hinata Hinata Hizoku" greeted him apologetically, but intentionally or unintentionally, he cleverly avoided calling himself and calling Hinata, and instead bent down with a natural expression while talking, and gently hugged Hinata's petite body in his arms.

"Huh? Dad, why did you suddenly put on your armor? ”

It seems to be to divert attention from the existence of the "amulet" that Sasuke has given him. Hinata rolled her eyes, then poked her hand at the hard armor on the human body, and raised her head in curiosity, asking in a milky voice.

"Is something wrong?"

"Hmm...... That's true. There were a few thieves from other villages who wanted to sneak into the village, but we discovered the intention and are searching for them...... Look, no, I'm in a hurry to pick you up and take you home after making sure it's safe around here. ”

Between the words, the eyes of "Hinata Hinata Hizo" pretended to glance casually at the small fan with his head in his hands and lazily on the side, judging the identity of this little guy from the iconic family emblem of the Uchiha clan on his clothes. After a moment's thought, he smiled half-truthfully in response.

"It's a little unsafe outside now, so if you're done with the exam, it's better to go home early...... Ah, you little fellow, go back quickly, lest your father and mother be worried. ”

"Yes...... Is that so......"

After hearing the explanation of the "father" in front of her, although it sounded a little reasonable, Hinata's intuition always felt that something seemed wrong with the person in front of her. While her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she couldn't help but use the existence of the blind spot in her vision to subconsciously hide the rune paper in her arms deeper.

"Hmm...... Good ——! Then let's hurry home! ”

"Hmmm! Good ——! I will! Uncle! ”

After hearing that someone mentioned himself, Xiao Tuanfan's mind changed sharply and he thought about it. Pretending to be innocent and harmless, he raised his head, bent his eyes and nodded with a smile, and said casually.

"Na, there's more...... Uncle, you're the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, right? Can you help my mom and dad say a few nice words to our patriarch so that they can come home early to be with me? I...... I'm always home alone and a little scared......"

"Oh, that's a little thing...... Haha, no problem, I'm also the head of the family. The patriarch of your Uchiha clan will give me a little bit of thin noodles so that your parents can go home with you as soon as possible. ”

In order to leave with Hinata as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, after a little thought to confirm that there was no logical problem in the words, "Hinata Hinata Hizoku" pretended to be generous and responded to it, while folding his arms and holding Hinata a little steady, and began to slowly turn around and prepare to leave.

"Go home and wait patiently for good news from your uncle, your parents will be back soon tonight...... Well, let's go back first, goodbye, little one. ”

"Hmmm! Thank you Uncle! Uncle, walk slowly, goodbye! ”

After hearing that "Hinata Hinata Hizo" was as he thought, he promised it without hesitation, and the smile on Sasuke's face became more and more vigorous. After seeing the pace of the people leaving, he did not stop him, but stood on tiptoe and waved his hand in thanks. It wasn't until the figure of "Hinata Hinata Hinata Holding Hinata" gradually moved away that the smile on Sasuke's face gradually converged and turned into a solemn and worried look.

"I don't even know that my dad is the patriarch of the Uchiha clan...... Sure enough, that guy is definitely not Uncle Hinata himself......"

"Hinata she's in danger, I have to inform Naruto as soon as possible before I can do it!"
