My journey to Konoha

……

After staying in the Hidden Leaf Village for a few more days, Jiraiya would finally set off.

Besides Jiraiya, there are four other people traveling together this time.

Chu Yue, Kanna, Shiro, and Hinata.

Kanna and Bai had no objection to following Chu Yue, but as for Hinata...

When the Hyuga clan heard that Hinata wanted to train with Chu Yue, they all expressed their opposition. However, when they heard about Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninjas, the Hyuga clan became hesitant.

In the end, Hiashi Hyuga insisted on his own way and, against all odds, let Hinata go out to gain experience.

Hinata Hiashi had three reasons: first, with Jiraiya accompanying her, although there were risks, they were not too great; second, training outside would surely lead to rapid improvement; third... as a father, Hinata Hiashi hoped that his daughter would not be bound by the constraints of the house and realize her wish to go out.

As for the soft fist technique, it is rumored that Hinata has mastered the basics, and practices diligently every day and comprehends it by herself, just like at home...

So, Chu Yue, Kanna, Shiro, and Hinata followed Jiraiya and left the village...

The five people walked slowly towards the gate of Konoha Village and stared at the familiar gate of Konoha.

"It's been almost four years." The only boy said.

"I never thought that the village gate would remain the same as before." said a slightly shy girl.

"Is this... really okay? We haven't been home for a long time?" asked another taller and gentle girl.

"Don't worry! With me here to escort you, who dares to stop you..." The old white-haired man was interrupted by others before he could finish his words.

"You said the same thing last time in the Kingdom of Numbers." said the youngest, short girl in white.

"Look! ** Immortal, even Shenwu is complaining about you." The young man said to the old man with a smile.

"Woo woo, even Shenwu looks down on me. Miss Bai, come and comfort me!" The old man approached the gentle girl and wanted to kiss her.

The gentle girl punched the old man away...

"You are so stubborn, you immortal." The young man shook his head helplessly.

The old man was knocked to the ground. After hearing what the young man said, he immediately got up and said, "I told you not to call me 'Xianren'! It's embarrassing!"

"You've lost your face!" The young man pointed at the old man, "Well, since we're back in the village, I'll just reluctantly call you Ziraiya."

"Ah! Where is the lovely junior brother who used to call me 'senior brother'? Ah! The one who used to respect..." The old man was not finished reciting a poem when everyone left him...

The four of them talked as they walked, "It's been so long, I wonder if Naruto and Sasuke have grown up."

"They should have graduated from the Ninja Academy, right?" the shy girl said, "Ningji-nii... maybe he has become a Chunin."

"We've been apart for too long, I almost forgot what you all look like." The boy laughed.

"I believe what others say, but I don't believe what you say, Chu Yue." The gentle girl smiled.

"Hey!" The old man hurriedly chased after him, "Don't ignore me!"

Konoha Village, Hokage's office.

There was a knock on the door. The Third Hokage reviewed the documents without even looking up, "Come in."

All five of them walked in together and saw the Sandaime Hokage still behind his desk.

"Master." Chu Yue and Jiraiya said in unison.

"Hmm?" The Third Hokage stopped writing and looked at the five people.

"I'm back." Chu Yue said with a smile.

The Third Hokage was stunned, looking at the four people who had grown up and the one who had not changed at all, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Welcome back." The Third Hokage said with a smile.

……

Four years passed. Chu Yue had been away from the village for four years.

Four years may seem like a small amount of time to an adult, but to eight-year-old Chuuyue and Hinata, the changes were huge.

In the past four years, Chu Yue has grown into a reliable boy, and Hinata has grown from an eight-year-old girl to a twelve-year-old loli. Bai was originally older than Kanna, and now she has grown into a mature woman. Only Kanna has not changed.

Of course, Jiraiya remains unchanged...

The first thing to do when returning to the village is to report to the Hokage.

As a master, the Third Hokage asked Chu Yue about his experiences, life and insights over the past four years, but did not mention fighting and strength.

The Third Hokage did not ask much about Kanna and Haku, but he naturally had to pay close attention to Hinata.

After personal matters, it’s time for public matters.

It has been four years since the five of them left the village, and the ninja information needs to be updated.

Chu Yue was promoted to Jonin as a matter of course, no doubt about it.

Hinata and Kanna participated in the Chunin Trial in the Land of Lightning while traveling, and both were awarded the title of Chunin.

As for Bai, he still is a Genin because he did not participate in the Chunin Trial. However, Bai made rapid progress under Chu Yue's teaching, and with his bloodline limit, his strength has already reached the level of Chunin.

The rest of the trivial matters were handled by other departments, and the Third Hokage no longer interfered.

Jiraiya is used to freedom, and given his identity, the title of ninja is nothing but a cloud. This trip is only to accompany Chu Yue and visit his master by the way.

After finishing his business, the Third Hokage asked Chu Yue if he would like to join the Anbu.

Chu Yue thought about it for a while and declined. The affairs of the Anbu were complicated, and Chu Yue had no intention of carrying out those secret missions.

The Third Hokage, who understood Chu Yue's personality, did not force it.

After chatting about personal matters and completing official business, Chu Yue and others were about to leave when the door was suddenly pushed open.

A little boy rushed into the room, pointed at the Third Hokage and said, "Accept my challenge! I must defeat you and become the Fifth Hokage!"

After the boy finished speaking, the Hokage's office fell silent for a moment...

After a moment, Bai picked up the little boy, "Hokage, do you want me to throw him out?" "Hey! Who are you! What are your intentions! Don't be so presumptuous! You know that I will be the fifth generation Fire Spirit Master in the future!" The young boy Uzumaki Naruto was picked up by Bai in the air, and he roared while struggling.

"Forget it, Bai, let him down." The Third Generation Fire Spirit Master said with a faint smile.

"Yes, sir." Bai then let go, and Naruto fell straight to the ground, grimacing.

"Ouch..." Naruto held his butt and pointed at Bai, "Who are you? How dare you treat me like this! I want to fight you to the death!"

"That's enough, Naruto!" The voice of the Third Fire Spirit Master sounded at the right time, "Stop messing around."

"I'm not joking! I'm serious!" Naruto shouted at the Third Fire Spirit Master.

"Master...what is this?" Chu Yue asked.

"Oh, this is my grandson, Naruto." The Third Fire Spirit Master explained, "He is as naughty as Naruto, and he always wants to be the Fifth Fire Spirit Master."

"Master? You call me Grandpa Master?" Naruto seemed to understand something and looked at Chu Yue, "I have never seen someone your age... Could it be that?!"

"Hmm?" Chu Yue looked at Naruto.

"Are you the Great Demon Lord Chu Yue?!"

“Uh…” Chu Yue’s forehead was slightly sweaty. I am Chu Yue, no doubt about it… but what about that big demon king behind me?

"Come on! Great Demon! I will definitely defeat you today!" Naruto challenged Chu Yue again.

"Bai..." Chu Yue said, "Let's just throw him out..."

"Yes, sir." Bai responded, picked up Naruto, walked to the window of the mansion, opened it and threw Naruto out.

"Ahem..." Naruto's grandfather, the Third Fire Spirit Master, coughed twice with a little embarrassment.

"Does this kid come here every day?" Chu Yue asked.

“Although not every day, it’s almost the same.” The third generation Fire Spirit Venerable said helplessly, “Really, I don’t know how I developed such a temper.”

"Isn't this great?" Chu Yue smiled, "A young man who dreams of becoming a Fire Spirit Master."

Just as he finished speaking, Naruto had returned to the entrance of the mansion, "Asshole! I'm going to defeat you this time!"

As he spoke, Naruto waved the crack darts and kunai in his hands and threw them at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue did not dodge, and few of those hidden weapons could hit him...

"Okay, I take back what I said." Chu Yue looked at Jiraiya and the Third Fire Spirit Master who were hit by Naruto's hidden weapon.

Although Hinata, Shiro and Kanna were also affected, the three of them easily blocked the flying hidden weapons.

"Hey! Naruto!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted, shook off the hidden weapons on his body, and teleported in front of Naruto. His body shape changed and turned into a demon. "It's been many years since we last met, and you've become more arrogant!"

"Uncle Jiraiya..." Before Naruto could finish his words, he was grabbed by Jiraiya and then disappeared.

Not knowing where Jiraiya took Naruto to teach him a lesson, Chu Yue just shook his head and said, "Then, Master, let's go back first."

"Yes." The Third Generation Fire Spirit Master nodded, "Everyone must be very happy to see you."

……

After leaving the Fire Spirit Lord's residence, the four came to the Hyuga family's mansion.

Unfortunately, Hyuga Neji was out training and was unable to meet them. The only one who welcomed Chu Yue and the other three was the head of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Hiashi.

Having not seen his daughter for four years, Hinata Hiashi sat down with his daughter and chatted with her. Chu Yue knew that Hinata Hiashi loved his daughter, so she left quietly with Kanna and Bai.

This was the only person Chu Yue knew in Konoha Village. Naruto, Sasuke and the others were still in the academy and should not be disturbed, so Chu Yue, Kanna and Haku returned home.

"I haven't been back for a long time." Chu Yue looked at the door of her home, took out the key and opened it.

Pushing the door open, Chu Yue and the other two stepped inside.

Everything is the same as before, no different from when we parted four years ago.

Chu Yue walked in, casually stretched out her finger and wiped the table in the living room, then looked at her finger, "It's already covered with dust."

"We need to clean it up properly." Bai Ye stepped forward and said.

Chu Yue opened the bedroom door and took a look. It was the same as the living room, except for the accumulation of dust. Nothing else had changed.

"Okay, let's spend the next period of time cleaning the house!" Chu Yue said with a smile.

Chu Yue, Shen Wu and Bai started cleaning. As they had not been home for a long time, they did not finish until night.

"Oh... I'm so tired." After finishing cleaning, Chu Yue said while sitting in the living room.

"Well, Chu Yue, do you want to eat?" Bai asked Chu Yue after cleaning the kitchen.

"Eating?" Chu Yue asked, "Is there any more food?"

Bai shook his head, "I need to buy some."

"Hmm..." Chu Yue thought for a moment, "I originally planned to cook for myself and invite Naruto, Sasuke and the others to come over for dinner, but now I'm a little tired and don't want to cook anymore, so let's just go to a restaurant."

"Yeah." Bai nodded, "Then, I'll go invite Naruto and the others."

"Let's go together." Chu Yue said, "It's just right, Naruto and Sasuke also need to be notified."

"What about Hinata and Neji?" Bai asked.

“As for Bai and Neji…” Chu Yue turned to Kanna, “Kanna, I’ll leave it to you.”

"Yeah." Shenwu nodded.

Ninja Academy.

If you want to invite Naruto and Sasuke, you naturally have to wait at the school gate before school is over. Chu Yue and Bai arrived at the gate of the Ninja Academy early.

When the school was over, the students walked out one after another. Soon, Naruto and Sasuke were seen.

Even though four years had passed and Naruto and Sasuke had grown a lot, Chu Yue still recognized them at a glance.

"Naruto! Sasuke!" Chu Yue waved at the two of them.

Naruto and Sasuke heard Chu Yue's voice, turned around and saw him, and were both stunned.

"Hahahaha! Chu Yue, you're finally back!" Naruto ran towards Chu Yue with a smile, "Really, Chu Yue, you've changed so much! Hahaha!"

"You too, Naruto." Chu Yue smiled at Naruto, "Yeah, you've grown taller. But still not as tall as me."

"Hey, hey! Chu Yue, stop talking about things that are not related to the topic!" Naruto said immediately, "It's been four years. You bastard disappeared for four years and finally appeared again."

"Haha, to improve your strength." After Chu Yue finished speaking, Sasuke also came over.
