Naruto: If I let you be Naruto, you will become yellow-haired?

Chapter 12 That Place...No...Don't Look
"What will be the name of Kushina and Minato's child?"

"Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto."

Hearing this name, Tsunade's beautiful amber eyes narrowed and she murmured repeatedly,
"Naruto, isn't this the name of the protagonist in the novel written by that bastard Jiraiya?!

How dare you randomly give your son this name! Is this such a joke?!
Minato is such a good kid, but he learned all these bad habits from his teacher Jiraiya!"

As she said this, Tsunade glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen beside her with a bad expression and cursed coldly,
"I remember my second grandfather didn't have this problem! I don't know who passed it down from!"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
There are only a few people who are teachers and students of the Hokage lineage. When he thought about how he usually used the crystal ball to perform the telescope technique, he couldn't let Tsunade find out again.

He quickly wiped the sweat off his face and changed the subject, talking about Naruto's situation and the rumors about the demon fox in the village.

It emphasized that Naruto had physical conflicts with villagers on two previous occasions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said worriedly.

"The Jinchūriki must not plant the seeds of resentment towards the village in his heart. Once the seeds of hatred take root and sprout, Konoha will suffer greatly in the future!"

Tsunade snorted coldly upon hearing this, remaining noncommittal. "It's because you allowed that bastard Danzo to spread rumors that we are in this situation!"

"Alas, where there is light there is naturally darkness. Without either, the world cannot function properly. And Danzo is doing this for Konoha after all, so his original intention is good..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of white smoke, and his old, wrinkled face showed a sincere expression. His tone was deep and he said slowly.

"Tsunade, Naruto was born, Minato and Kushina sacrificed their lives for the village, and I was also the Hokage. I was so busy with work that I couldn't take care of Naruto. It's my fault that Naruto didn't feel the village's recognition and love for him..."

"You've returned just in time. Treat Naruto with genuine affection and care, and let him feel the inseparable bond between him and the village that he has previously neglected!"

Hearing this, Tsunade rolled her beautiful eyes, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen coldly, and said disdainfully,
"Old man, are you teaching me how to do things?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked.

Feeling Tsunade's dissatisfaction with himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh in loneliness, thinking to himself,

Among his three disciples, the one he valued and admired the most was the most vicious and rebellious.

On the contrary, Jiraiya, who was born into a common family and was the least outstanding, was more likely to agree with his own ideas and understand his difficulties.

And Tsunade...

I inherited the village from Mr. Tobirama. Although the village is thriving under my leadership, it has a promising future.

But even with such achievements, he could not get the sincere recognition of his legitimate disciple.

Could it be that the village that I have managed with all my painstaking efforts for so many years has really developed so badly in her eyes?
No longer paying attention to her teacher's loneliness, Tsunade waved her hand neatly, and the white ball shook with it, and said boldly,

"Old man, stop spouting those clichés and take me to see Naruto sometime!"

……

There were few pedestrians on the dim street, and the street lights on both sides cast rays of light.

Naruto put his hands behind his head, but Hinata, who was supposed to lead the way home, followed Naruto closely.

Hinata's cute little body was covered by a light-colored loose training suit, leaving only her smooth and delicate shoulder-length hair and fair face exposed.

Naruto glanced at Hinata who was cautious behind him.

As expected of a big family in Konoha, they dress extremely conservatively.

This is the appearance of a dignified and conservative Yamato Nadeshiko.

But in every sense, Hinata, who has grown up, is wrapped in a wide robe, but underneath is a delicate and cowardly body. This extreme contrast makes her a standard template for an island wife.

Hinata lowered her head, her little hands tightly clutching her sleeves, watching Naruto's free and confident steps.

Hinata couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration and longing when she thought about how he could confidently express his dream of becoming Hokage in class.

If I could be as generous and brave as Naruto-kun, perhaps my father wouldn't be so disappointed in me.

Then he shook his head again, pursed his lips, and felt sad.

A coward like me will never be able to become as powerful as Naruto-kun...

Perhaps I can only chase after Naruto-kun's back for the rest of my life... "Hinata-chan is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, right? She should be able to use the powerful eye techniques of your Hyuga family, right?"

Suddenly a gentle voice sounded in her ears, and Hinata was startled at first.

Then, "Hina…Hinata-chan…!?"

Hinata's cute chubby little face quickly turned red, and her brain seemed to have crashed. Am I such an intimate existence in Naruto-kun's heart?

"Naruto-kun..."

A hint of shyness and joy flashed through Hinata's heart. She looked at the other person's curious eyes, and her two little index fingers kept pointing at each other.

Hinata then hesitated, feeling a bit disappointed and guilty for not being able to satisfy Lord Naruto.

"I'm sorry... Naruto-kun, I... haven't opened my Byakugan yet. I'm sorry to disappoint you... Eh!? Eh!?"

Before Hinata finished speaking, a small head with yellow hair began to grow bigger and bigger in her sight.

Hinata suddenly panicked.

Naruto was seen moving closer to Hinata, trying to look closely into her eyes.

Hinata's petite body instantly began to tremble nervously, wisps of white steam emerged from her cute little head, and her little face became even redder.

"Naruto-kun, that place...don't...don't look at it..."

Hinata was feeling extremely shy but didn't dare to reject Naruto obviously.

She could only slightly tilt her thin body to avoid Naruto's staring gaze.

Hinata then briefly explained in a low voice what it was like to open the Byakugan.

Naruto only remembered that unlike the Uchiha family, everyone in the Hyuga family could open their Byakugan.

It is precisely because of this, and the fact that the eyes of the ninja world are plug-and-play, that the main family planted the caged bird curse seal, a symbol of slavery, on the branch family on the grounds of protecting the Hyuga bloodline from foreign enemies.

It seems that I need to slowly help Hinata to build up her courage, otherwise she will turn into a steam princess if I get close to her like this...

Just as Naruto was thinking this, a chubby figure ran towards them under the neon lights at the corner not far away.

"Naruto! Iruka-sensei needs to see you for something urgent. Come with me!"

"Chouji?"

The chubby boy was none other than Choji, who reached out and grabbed Naruto's arm.

His fat, round face was dripping with sweat, and he looked as if he had just run a long distance and was in a hurry.

Naruto's heart moved. Didn't Choji go to eat barbecue with Shikamaru and the others? That was not on the way to the Hyuga clan's territory. Why did he suddenly appear here?

Hinata, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Choji interrupt.

She looked at Naruto cautiously and said, with obvious hesitation and confusion on her well-behaved face.

If I fail to bring Naruto back to my father, I will probably be scolded by him again!

But after a moment of hesitation, Hinata made up her mind and whispered,

"Naruto-kun, if Iruka-sensei needs to talk to you, then go see my father next time..."

At this moment, Kyuubi's lazy voice sounded in his mind.

"Kid, this guy has evil intentions towards you."

Naruto looked at the harmless smile on Choji's round face and his eyes fixed.

He turned his head and smiled at Hinata, "I'm sorry, Hinata-chan, you should go back first..."

"Chouji and I are going to see Iruka-sensei."
