Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

“Naruto… Naruto-kun, my father wishes to thank you for saving me last time…”

Naruto looked at Hinata's full, fair cheeks flushed with a rosy blush, even her delicate earlobes tinged red.

So kawaii.

Just standing politely before him exuded an air of dignified elegance.

Truly befitting of the Hyuga clan's esteemed heiress, a noble of the shinobi world.

As a child, Hinata's charm leaned towards cuteness, but the grown-up Hinata was just too alluring and mischievous…

After all, big is justice.

But is Hiashi Hyuga really looking for me just because I saved Hinata?

The Hyuga clan is, after all, outwardly the largest ninja clan in Konoha.

For Hiashi Hinata, the heiress of the main family, to be out without guards, get lost, run into some nasty kids bullying others, and then just happen to run into me?

Besides, the current Hiashi Hyuga has always disliked Hinata's timidity and weakness, and is even considering replacing Hinata as the heir of the main family…

Naruto reached out and patted her head, gently saying, "Then Hinata, take me to your house."

Feeling his closeness, only her mother had ever patted her head like this.

Hinata's blush spread to her fair, slender neck, her heart pounding, and she stammered.

"Okay, Naruto-kun."

……

……

Hokage Office,

“Shisui, how is the situation within your Uchiha clan lately?”

“I heard from Itachi that the hawkish faction within your clan has been making quite a ruckus recently, even surpassing the situation a few years ago during the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, when the village had to make the decision to temporarily relocate your Uchiha clan to the outskirts.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in the Hokage chair, puffing on his pipe, his expression grave as he asked.

Standing across the desk was a young man with thick black hair, well-defined features, and wearing the green flak jacket of a Konoha jonin.

Uchiha’s expression was respectful, but his expression was very serious, and he explained urgently.

“Lord Hokage, the clansmen were indeed anxious and had several arguments because of the family’s recent difficult situation,

But fortunately, Patriarch Fugaku has outstanding prestige and is able to consider the village’s difficulties, and has suppressed the clan’s bad voices in time…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at Uchiha Shisui with a hint of guilt,

“Moving your Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village was also my helpless act as Hokage at the time,

That night, many people in the village saw that the Nine-Tailed Fox’s pupils were flashing with the Sharingan’s mark! It was clearly being manipulated by a certain Uchiha powerhouse…”

“But the village’s Anbu and Root have not found any clues from that night until now, as if such a person never existed! The village’s higher-ups can’t help but overthink…”

“But you Uchiha have suffered so many years of grievances, and I have seen it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart. If the truth of the Nine-Tailed Fox that night is revealed and the culprit is found, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will definitely restore the Uchiha clan’s innocence!”

Sarutobi made a solemn promise, got up and bowed respectfully to Uchiha, bowing slightly.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, actually showing such a humble attitude and bowing to him, a mere ordinary Uchiha clansman,

Shisui was immediately greatly moved, just like meeting a general on a white horse in Dandong, his dark eyes suddenly filled with tears.

He probably won’t be able to repay the Third Hokage’s kindness for generations to come!

“Although I am a member of the family, I am also a member of the village! It is natural for me, Uchiha Shisui, to serve the village!”

“What’s more, the various ninja clans in the village should not be bound by bloodline families, but should think about problems from the Hokage’s perspective like Itachi, prioritize the overall situation, contribute to the village, treat the village as their own home, and protect every companion in the village!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Shisui’s sincere expression, his eyes filled with tears, and he also seriously quoted his praise of Uchiha Itachi.

He couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, further increasing his trust in Uchiha Shisui's Will of Fire.

“If there is any unrest in the Uchiha clan in the future, the village still needs you and Itachi to coordinate more and eliminate the misunderstandings between some of the hawkish factions in your clan and the village’s higher-ups!”

“It is my duty as Uchiha Shisui to serve the village!”

“It is truly a great blessing for your family and a blessing for Konoha that the younger generation of the Uchiha clan can have two geniuses like you and Itachi!

If only the people in your Uchiha clan had the same thoughts as you…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed sincerely,

Shisui was both proud and ashamed of the poor performance of some clansmen who actually questioned the motives of the village's higher-ups.

Just as he was moved by the tolerance and broad-mindedness of the Hokage,

With a loud bang!

Suddenly, the door of the Hokage's office was kicked open.

“Old man!”

A tea-green coat with a large gambling character on the back fluttered, a jet-black belt around her waist outlined her plump thighs, the loose top slightly revealed the fair and delicate skin of her neck, and a young woman with a generous bosom broke into the office.

Her aura was aggressive, completely disregarding that this was the place of Konoha's highest power.

“Didn’t you say in the letter that there was a change in the jinchuriki? Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox jinchuriki now?”

The latest novels are first published on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!

Saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to beat someone up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed joy when he saw the rude behavior of the person who came.

Because the other party was his direct disciple, one of the Konoha Sannin, the strongest medical ninja, the contractor of the three great sacred grounds, and the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade.

Shisui greeted Tsunade, his mind racing.

Why did Lady Tsunade return to the village at this time?

In short, this is a good thing for him, as long as she stays in the village, with Tsunade's status, strength, and character in the village alone,

It is enough to deter those in the clan who harbor ill intentions towards the village!

The advantage is on my side!

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand towards Uchiha Shisui, "Shisui, you can go and get busy first!"

Then he got up and walked towards Tsunade, "Tsunade, why are you back?! Oh, right, I sent a letter to you…"

Saying that, he smiled and patted his head.

Tsunade looked at her teacher in front of her with complicated eyes, who had aged a lot after becoming Hokage again, no longer with the prestige of a ninja hero who dominated the ninja world in the past.

She sighed inwardly, wondering how long she would have to be the Hokage.

Decades ago, after Nawaki's death, she suffered from hemophobia and was disheartened, and could no longer turn a blind eye to the darkness of Konoha, and left in anger.

Even at Minato's funeral, she only returned to the village for a few days before leaving again, no longer interfering in village affairs.

If it weren't for the extremely difficult situation the village has been in recent years after Minato sacrificed himself for the village.

The younger generation is lacking in successors, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village is intensifying, and the Nine-Tailed Fox jinchuriki is Kushina's child.

She would never have returned to this sad place.

Thinking of Uzumaki Kushina, who was so carefree and had such a bold personality like her half-sister,

Tsunade's soft and broad heart was touched and saddened again.

Second Grandpa, Nawaki, plus Uzumaki Kushina,

The people close to me all end up in tragic situations…
