Chapter 135 The Reason Why Naruto Lost His Mind (Subscribe)
"I want this, I want this."
Hanabi, with her short legs and long hair fluttering like a little ghost, excitedly wandered back and forth in front of the stalls.
But although her mouth was full of oil, her hands were empty, and she didn't take anything.
Because most of the things she bought were at her sister's place.
"Omu..."
Following Hanabi side by side, Hinata held a box of octopus balls in her hand, picked them up one by one with a bamboo stick and stuffed them into her mouth.
And Ryosuke was beside her, holding the things the two sisters had just bought with a helpless look on his face.
Almost every finger on his palms was filled with bags, and he could hardly take anything.
"I haven't been here for a long time. I didn't expect that there are a few more restaurants I haven't eaten before."
Although her mouth was stuffed with food, Hinata could still speak clearly to Ryosuke.
"It should be because the alliance was reached and the situation stabilized."
Ryosuke explained, "I noticed just now that some delicacies are not produced by the Fire Country. They should be vendors from other countries through the channels of the allied countries."
As he spoke, he raised his head and motioned her to look at the grilled fish shop in the distance, "The fish species used by that shop are very different from those in our Fire Country. They are deep-sea fish with more plump and tender meat. They should be vendors from the Soup Country or the Iron Country."
Then, he turned his head to the other side, "And the beverage shop, I see that the desserts and drinks sold in their store are very special, perhaps from the Snow Country."
In addition to Konoha Village, there are many brand vendors from other countries in the Fire Country.
In contrast, some business channels in the Fire Country have also expanded to other countries in the alliance.
These were all completed under the mediation of the Seagull Shipping Chamber of Commerce. With a relatively fair and professional middleman in transactions, many things that were once not dared to be completed have now slowly begun to be realized.
At this stage, after tasting the sweetness, many countries in the alliance have begun to restrain themselves more to create a mutually beneficial and harmonious business alliance environment.
"Then this alliance is still worth it."
Hinata smacked her lips, swallowed the last meatball, and began to take other things out of the bag in Ryosuke's hand.
"Just eat."
Ryosuke just raised his arm and wanted to poke her head with his fingers, then he remembered that he had a lot of things hanging on his hand.
Helplessly, he could only put his hand down.
"Sister, let's go to the snack street tomorrow."
At this time, Hanabi, who had not been seen just now, ran back with a box of half-eaten skewers in her hand, and handed it to Ryosuke very smoothly.
Her red little face was full of sweat, but she didn't feel tired at all.
On the first day of school, Hanabi was still very happy and met many friends of the same age.
After school, her favorite sister came to pick her up.
It was completely different from the lonely life at home before.
"Tomorrow... let's see tomorrow."
Hinata touched her belly and hesitated.
With the financial resources of their Hyuga family, eating like this every day will definitely be no problem in terms of ability.
But...she seems to be a little fat recently.
Because she has no time to practice and consume the fat and calories in her body, she has been dealing with family affairs all the time, and having afternoon tea with the elders every day, so her body shape has naturally changed.
"One more day, there are still many things I haven't eaten. I heard from the uncle selling skewers that people from other countries will settle in this food street recently." Hanabi said pitifully.
Unfortunately, with her mouth full of oil stains and pepper slices on her mouth, this pitifulness seems a bit fake.
"Your sister is very busy, we may not have time to pick you up from school later."
At this time, Ryosuke spoke at the right time to stop Hinata who was almost soft-hearted, "But if you do well in the school assessment, we can consider taking you out to play again, so that you don't have to worry about your pocket money being spent on a meal."
There are some things that can be satisfied when educating children, but they cannot be completely satisfied. It is better to have certain requirements.
"Humph."
Hearing that her proposal was rejected, Hanabi pouted, but she was not really angry.
Recently, the family has been very busy, and she can actually see it, so she quickly put her attention on other things again and ran away with her feet.
Looking at the happy look of the little guy, Ryosuke and Hinata were a little emotional.
Because it seems that neither of them spent their childhood like a normal child.
"That guy is indeed a bad omen. All other ninja teams are fine, but this time, only their team got into trouble."
"I heard that their team has already sacrificed a teammate to replace him. I don't know if even the guiding jonin will be killed by him this time."
"Why did the Third Generation keep such a person in the village?"
At this time, the discussions of some pedestrians on the roadside attracted the attention of the two.
The people of the Hyuga clan are very good at perception.
And correspondingly, their five senses are more acute than those of ordinary people.
So even though Ryosuke and Hinata didn't listen deliberately, they still caught some information inadvertently.
"That guy?"
Hinata turned her head to look at the people who were talking, but quickly turned back and looked at Ryosuke and asked, "They are talking about... Naruto, right?"
When she said his name, she deliberately lowered her voice.
"There shouldn't be anyone else in the village who can be so excluded."
Ryosuke's eyes were also withdrawn from those people.
He didn't know what Naruto had encountered recently.
Since the transformation, he has been staying at home, and even Hyuga Xingcai and the others rarely meet, not to mention some people in the intelligence system.
Maybe during this period, apart from his family, the outsider he has come into contact with the most is the fat cat who comes to play from time to time.
"Is today's itinerary over here?"
With an inquiring tone, Ryosuke stopped.
"I'll take the things, remember to go home early."
As if she knew what he was going to do, Hinata smiled gently and reached out to hold Ryosuke's hand...
Although it was near evening and time for dinner, the hospital in Konoha was very quiet.
Because during this period, a special patient was admitted to the hospital, making the atmosphere of the entire environment seem stiff.
Whether it was the patients wandering in the corridor, or the nurses and doctors coming and going, they all deliberately avoided a ward, staying far away, not daring to get close, for fear of being contaminated by the slightest breath and becoming unfortunate.
In the closed ward door, there was only one patient, Naruto, in the quiet room.
This was not an independent VIP ward. Before he checked in, there were people on the bed next to him.
But after he checked in, those people were hurriedly discharged from the hospital, or applied for transfer.
At this time, Naruto was sitting on the bed in a daze, looking at the clouds floating in the sky through the window.
"It seems... you haven't been doing well recently. There are more people secretly monitoring you."
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
It made his lifeless eyes gradually regain focus.
"Liang... Liang Jie?"
Although the voice was abrupt and there was no trace in the room, Naruto still restrained his inner surprise at a very fast speed and remained calm on the surface.
While maintaining his emotions, he tried to communicate with this familiar voice in his heart.
In the eyes of outsiders, he just turned his head very normally, then lay down on the bed again and closed his eyes.
On the other side, in a park far away near the hospital, Liang Jie sat alone on a long wooden chair and chuckled, "It seems that the power of the tailed beast has taught you more patience and restraint."
Naruto's performance still surprised him. It has been almost a year since they last met.
And every time, Naruto can bring him a lot of surprises.
Like now, the restraint he showed is not something that an ordinary person should have.
There are many experienced adults who cannot control their emotional fluctuations so perfectly.
"... There is no way. Since I started to learn to master the power of the tailed beasts, I feel that my situation is getting more and more dangerous."
Naruto's voice was a little helpless, but more tired, "On the one hand, I have to resist the erosion of the tailed beasts, and on the other hand, I have to reassure some people in the village and let them know that I have not fallen into darkness."
"Falling into darkness? It's an interesting statement."
Ryosuke half-squinted his eyes, "Have you encountered anything recently?"
"So this matter has spread in the village?"
Hearing Ryosuke's inquiry, Naruto explained, "A relatively important A-level intelligence mission, jointly carried out by several ninja teams."
"But the direction our team is responsible for was attacked by a rebellious ninja. It was a very powerful guy named Orochimaru. You should have heard of him. It seems that he had a high prestige in the village before."
"One of the three ninjas of Konoha."
With six words, Ryosuke simply revealed the identity of this person.
Uchiha Sasuke became a ninja much earlier than in the original timeline, and awakened his Sharingan earlier.
In contrast, he also entered Orochimaru's field of vision earlier.
Ryosuke was not surprised that he was targeted.
"Three ninjas? No wonder."
Naruto paused and spoke again, "His strength is much stronger than that of Kakashi, the jonin. Our team also paid a great price to successfully evacuate from his attack."
"But because of this, the information our team was responsible for delivering was not delivered in time."
"But fortunately, this mission was completed jointly, so it was not delayed by our team's failure. Although our team was punished, it was not very serious."
In a few words, he explained the mission this time, but it sounded that the consequences were not so serious.
"Kakashi teacher and Sasuke are still in a coma and are in the intensive care unit. Uesugi was slightly injured and has been discharged first, and I..."
Naruto hesitated for a moment, "Because I entered the four-tailed transformation, my body can't bear the burden, so it will take longer to recover."
"And the seal of the tailed beast in my body seems to have been reinforced by Orochimaru. The self-healing ability under the influence of the tailed beast chakra is not well reflected, and it is a few points worse than before..."
Listening to Naruto's story silently, Ryosuke gradually had a picture in his mind.
Orochimaru attacked Naruto and others, of course, for Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan.
Judging from Naruto's description, Orochimaru should have come to plunder alone.
In this process, regardless of how Naruto and Uesugi feel about Sasuke and whether they will do their best to rescue him, Kakashi, who cares about his companions very much, will never give up Sasuke.
Ryosuke has not seen how Sasuke gets along with Naruto and others, nor has he received any information, so he does not know.
But for Kakashi, Ryosuke can still feel Naruto's good impression of Kakashi as a guiding jonin from Naruto's usual words, and gradually begins to accept him.
So if Kakashi stays, then Naruto will definitely stay.
At least Uesugi, because Ryosuke has no contact, he cannot judge.
Comprehensively considered, with Kakashi's strength, although he has always performed very poorly in the original timeline, in fact, his strength is also one of the best in the entire ninja world.
Ignoring Uesugi, Naruto and Sasuke are more mature and calm than in the original timeline, especially Naruto, who will undoubtedly not be a burden when he can use the power of the tailed beast.
An elite among the jonin, a Jinchūriki who can draw on the power of the tailed beast, an Uchiha with two magatama Sharingans, plus a medical ninja whose level is unknown and who may or may not stay.
In a four-on-one or three-on-one situation, even if the opponent is Orochimaru, Ryosuke feels that there is still some chance of winning.
So... the reason for the tragic retreat, or even the two people who are seriously injured and have not yet woken up, may have other reasons.
For example...
"Can you control yourself in the four-tail state now? In that state, you should be irrational, right?"
The thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, and Ryosuke asked, "What did Orochimaru say to you that stimulated you?"
"... As expected of Ryosuke, you guessed it before I said it."
Naruto was silent for a while before he spoke again, his voice full of bitterness, "He told me that I am the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze."
Ryosuke had no unexpected thoughts about this answer, and did not continue to speak.
But then, Naruto's words made him a little unexpected.
"When he said this, I actually held back. I was able to control myself. I had realized that he was my father a long time ago, but I didn't dare to face it. His words only confirmed the problem that I had been avoiding in my heart."
Naruto continued to speak, and his emotions began to become a little unstable. From the tone of his voice, Ryosuke could easily judge.
"If the seal of the tailed beast had not been strengthened now, I might not dare to tell you about this at this time, Ryosuke."
"Perhaps when I think of this, when my emotions cannot be controlled, the tailed beast chakra in my body will directly make me lose my mind."
"Because Orochimaru also told me that my father is actually a puppet."
"For the sake of peace, during the Third Ninja World War, the Sandaime was forced to abdicate. In desperation, he could only nominate a chess piece that is easy to control."
"And this chess piece is my father, a ninja who stood out from the civilians, Namikaze Minato!"
Thanks to the book friend who rarely uses this for rewarding support.
