Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

"Sir the Sixth Generation!"

"Naruto-sama!"

"Good morning! Hokage-sama!"

Naruto walked on the street, the smile on his face could hardly be suppressed. He grinned and waved his hands to the villagers beside him who were full of respectful smiling faces: "Ah! Good morning!"

The villagers' faces seemed a little confused because of his somewhat 'exaggerated' smile, but in the end they just watched him strolling down the street step by step with admiration and respect.

Is this how Yuzuru-nii feels?

awesome! ! !

It was the first time for Uzumaki Naruto to feel this feeling. He was respected and recognized by everyone. When everyone saw him, the respectful and admiring eyes made him feel as if he was floating in the clouds. Feel.

This feeling was simply unbelievable to Naruto, who had been subjected to so much eye-roll since he was a child, and who was now as transparent as a transparent boy in Konoha.

So...what am I going to do after that?

Naruto suddenly became a little confused.

He stopped on the street, turned around and looked around, suddenly... he felt a little lost.

The familiar street pattern had disappeared. All that could be seen were tall buildings one after another spreading to both sides. There was also a super-large TV screen hanging on a building in the distance. Naruto didn't care. He knew what this kind of electronic screen should be called, but these sights made him feel so novel and strange that he didn't know where to go.

The four-wheeled motorcycles whizzing by on the streets, uh, they should be called cars, were passing through the streets in a steady stream. Naruto, who was walking on the sidewalk, stood on the side of the road and was fascinated for a moment.

"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, Konoha Life is your best medical choice."

The sound in the distance sounded familiar to Naruto. He raised his head and opened his mouth. He only looked at the TV screen of the huge building in the distance. The mature version of Sakura was smiling and talking on the screen. And that Behind her, the familiar yet unfamiliar Konoha Hospital was revealed in an ultra-modern architectural style.

When Sakura's figure disappeared, a new advertising screen appeared. The shocking screen was full of things that Naruto couldn't understand, until finally, Jiraiya's figure appeared in it.

"Produced by the hero Jiraiya himself, "Friendship Team 3: Fatal Blow" will be released in theaters on July 7th."

Naruto stared at the billboard on the side of the road for almost five minutes.

It wasn't until the billboard started playing in a loop that he reluctantly looked back.

Is this...the Konoha of the future?

He looked at the traffic on the street, the buildings, the villagers wearing various costumes...

Naruto knew that this was an illusion, so he shamelessly asked a villager for directions and walked towards the Hokage Building.

Along the way, various office buildings, commercial streets, mobile phones and headphones in the hands of passers-by, various cars, traffic lights on the road...

He was dazzled by it, and finally understood what the future Konoha that Hinata Yuzuru longed for would look like.

Perhaps, is this also the reason why Hyuga Yuzuru used genjutsu on him?

Uzumaki Naruto was still thinking when the Hokage Building appeared in front of him.

The beautiful high-rise glass building is filled with a sense of technology and shock that he can't explain.

He stood blankly at the door for a long time. When he turned around and looked around, he could only see the face of Uzumaki Naruto on the Hokage Rock not far away, next to the statue of Hinata Yuzuru, with his golden hair and resolute face, which made Naruto He couldn't help but touch his head, only to realize that his hair had also become short.

It does seem like he has matured a lot.

Uzumaki Naruto had the idea of ​​cutting his hair short for the first time.

When he walked into the building, before he had time to ask where he should go, he saw Shikamaru with a hurried expression walking from a distance. When he saw him, his face lit up: "You're finally here, hurry up..."

The mature version of Shikamaru dragged him into the elevator. The high-speed elevator took him to the top floor. Before Naruto could think of what to say, he was taken into a super luxurious office with beautiful oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and The modern design made him sigh, but Shikamaru half-pushed him to sit in his seat.

"Naruto-sama, please finish correcting these documents as soon as possible."

After Shikamaru finished speaking, Naruto stood still looking at the mountain of documents on the side: "This, so many!?"

"Isn't there usually so much? Okay, let's start quickly... We have to finish these things in the morning. In the afternoon, we have to fly to Kirigakure Village, and there is a meeting in the evening..."

Naruto's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent incense when he heard that. He looked at the documents and was dumbfounded. But Shikamaru just sighed and started to help him process the documents without being surprised at all. Naruto worked with a grimace and only had time to use it at noon. He had lunch in ten minutes, and in the afternoon he took a 'plane' that he had never heard of before going to Kirigakure Village.

As expected, he made a fool of himself during the meeting. Fortunately, with Shikamaru's help, the meeting finally ended smoothly. He flew back to Konoha in the evening, but was in the office again, using the so-called 'network' to conduct a remote meeting. By the time the meeting ended, it was already dark. It was pitch black.

"Wait a minute, where should I go back?"

Uzumaki Naruto stared blankly at Shikamaru who was getting ready to get off work.

Shikamaru, who looked tired, said lazily: "What did you do to make Madam angry?"

"No, wait a minute, ma'am!?"

Naruto was numb.

After finally making some extrapolations, he got a fact from Shikamaru that shocked him beyond measure.

"Hinata and I are married? Huh?"

Is there something wrong somewhere? ?

Although Hinata is a nice girl, to be honest, Naruto has never thought that he will marry her. Or rather, he has never even thought of becoming a couple.

How could she like me?

Compared to the fact that he fell in love with Hinata, Naruto was more surprised by how the opposite party could be with him...

Forget it, maybe the illusion is random? Or was it Yuzuru-san's joke?

Naruto was suddenly enlightened, and it was only at this moment that he remembered that he was in a genjutsu.

It's strange to say that at the beginning, it was very clear that I was in the environment, but the longer I stayed here, the more I felt a sense of 'identity', as if... this was the real world.

He even forgot that he was under an illusion.

It's really awesome...

Uzumaki Naruto asked Shikamaru to tell him where his home was. Shikamaru looked strange, but he just advised him to go to the hospital with worry, and then told him the address.

Naruto clicked on the address and found the location of his home through the 'mobile map' that he had finally learned how to operate.

As soon as she rang the doorbell, Hinata's voice came from inside.

Hinata, who had long hair and a gentle expression, opened the door and when she saw him, she smiled softly and happily: "Welcome home."

"Uh...uh." Uzumaki Naruto swallowed, and looked stiffly as Hinata gently found his slippers for him. After entering the house, she casually asked about today's work while giving him some slippers. Cook.

This warm and natural atmosphere made Naruto immersed in a trance.

I don't even know how I fell asleep. I just knew that after eating, it seemed like the next day.

At the same time, his mind increasingly forgot the fact that he was in a genjutsu.

Repeating it day after day has become Naruto's daily routine.

The original novelty quickly turned boring, and the heavy official duties repeatedly made him sigh. If Shikamaru hadn't been helping him, he might not have been able to complete even basic official duties.

Hinata and I spend less time together and more time away from each other. We often have to work overtime and travel to various parts of the world to attend meetings, inspect, and arrange construction...

This kind of Hokage's life... is nothing like what Uzumaki Naruto thought.

There are only a few holidays a year, and the daily work is boring and boring. Even though my home is in Konoha, I rarely get to spend time with my family...

There was a big flood in the south, and as the Hokage, he failed to handle it well, so some people blamed him for all the problems. It was obvious that he had worked hard to deal with it and responded to it, but others were saying that if it was the Fifth Hokage , there will definitely not be such a big loss this time...

There are many other bad things like this - one of his trusted subordinates was involved in corruption, but Naruto chose to protect him because he was soft-hearted. As a result, he was exposed by reporters and had to bear the infamy and then fired him...

The plans he had made were always violated by people below him, forcing him to get angry and fail to complete it smoothly...

Diplomacy, economy, people's livelihood, administrative management...

One problem after another made Naruto's life miserable.

He worked harder and harder, but as a result, his body continued to accumulate physical problems.

Eventually, at the age of seventy, he had to retire due to illness.

Even though he has worked very hard, he is still criticized by the public as a 'failed Hokage' and a 'wrong choice of the Fifth Generation'.

Konoha has also lost its original glory. During the decades of his reign, it has developed slowly and been overtaken by other ninja villages. The pattern of one super and many strong has turned into a pattern of multiple strong...

Fortunately, his wife understood his difficulties, knew that he had tried his best, and gently comforted him.

After retiring, Naruto was shocked to realize that he was already an old man.

What's even more terrible is that he was suffering from illness and tried hard to adjust in the hospital bed, but in the end, he only lived for two more years and died.

His soul drifted away from his body, Uzumaki Naruto looked at his family members crying beside the bed with a complicated expression, and shed tears silently - he had neither taken good care of his family nor Konoha. Perhaps, he really shouldn't have chosen Become Hokage...

The world in front of me gradually turned into darkness.

After a long time, there was a flash of white light.

[Your Naruto career simulation has ended. 】

[Comprehensive score: 62 points. 】

[Comment: With your current brains and methods, it’s still a little too early to become Hokage~]

【How about it? Still want to become Hokage? 】

Naruto woke up from a dream and said loudly: "Brother Yuzuru!"

The world in front of me was spinning again. The moment I came back to my senses, what appeared in front of me was the green leaves fluttering in the wind in the distance. Next to me, Hyuga Yuzuru was wearing a god robe, with his head raised and eyes closed with a comfortable smile on his face. repose.

"how?"

He opened his eyes and turned to look at Uzumaki Naruto. At this moment, the other person no longer had the excitement when he first entered the world of genjutsu. He looked at him with an expression of shock and loneliness, and was speechless for a moment.

"What just... were all illusions?" Uzumaki Naruto murmured to himself.

Hinata Yuzuru hummed and said with a smile: "How is it? Is it real enough?"

Uzumaki Naruto stretched out his hand. Compared with his own in the genjutsu, his hand now looked particularly tender. He stretched out his hand and pinched his face. The delicate skin was completely different from the old feeling he had before his death.

Until this moment, everything that happened in the illusion still existed quite clearly in his memory.

"Is this really something that illusion can do?"

Uzumaki Naruto murmured in disbelief.

It's like experiencing a period of life alone!

"Of course." Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, but reminded: "But this is an illusion after all. The more you experience, the greater the burden on your spirit will be, even if I have deliberately blocked many of you in the illusion. The details of the experience, but it is still very stressful for you mentally.

Don't train today and have a good rest. "

"Well..." Naruto Uzumaki's expression still looked complicated, and he clenched his fists heavily.

Hyuga Yuzuru didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "Don't worry, the situation I simulated is just a simulation after all - in the real world, you will only do better through learning. But how many things will you experience? I'm not sure, it will just be more complicated than what I simulated...

Naruto, how about it, do you still want to become Hokage? "

When Hinata Yuzuru once again asked Naruto if he still wanted to become Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto rarely hesitated for a moment. He lowered his head and did not give an answer immediately, but said: "I think... I'll do well again." Think about it.”

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly: "Okay."

He stood up and patted Naruto on the shoulder.

"Come back to my office tomorrow and tell me your decision."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded and hummed.

Hinata Yuzuru's figure disappeared, and Uzumaki Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, not seeing the disappointed look in his eyes. This was more important than anything else.

It's just that he really doesn't know what kind of answer he should give now.

After experiencing the world of illusion, he realized for the first time what the so-called Hokage really meant.

It is a heavy responsibility that makes people unable to breathe.

Can I really do all this by myself?

What he experienced during the genjutsu made Naruto feel very complicated.

It turns out that even if I become Hokage, I can't make everyone like me... Nor does becoming Hokage mean I can get everyone's approval.

If I can't manage the village well and make it better like Yuzuru-nii, people will still hate me...

Sometimes it's not even because of what I did wrong, but just because what I did was worse than Yuzuru-nii...

Uzumaki Naruto sighed.

He wandered around the street with mixed emotions. The scene on the street made him feel familiar and strange at the same time. In the world of illusion, the surrounding buildings were far more modern than they are now, and there were no longer so many pedestrians on the street. Instead, Yes, there are wider and longer roads extending in all directions, with all kinds of cars driving on them.

The pedestrians on the street, who were originally wearing fashionable clothes, now seem a bit ordinary...

Did I come up with it myself under a genjutsu, or was it set by Yuzuru-nii? If it's the latter... then Yuzuru is really awesome. Whether it's buildings, vehicles or clothes, it's as if he has really seen the future world...

Uzumaki Naruto could not have imagined that Hyuga Yuzuru had not only seen it, but also made the world in the genjutsu more cyberpunk. The shock it brought to him was naturally unparalleled.

"Naruto-kun?"

The voice coming from behind made Uzumaki Naruto's footsteps stiffen subconsciously, and he said almost instinctively: "Wife..."

"Ah?" Hinata Hinata felt as if she heard something extraordinary, and subconsciously took a step back. She saw Naruto laughing awkwardly, scratching his head and looking at her: "I mean, Hinata, what a coincidence. oh."

Huh...what do Yuzuru-nii think? Why do you want me to marry Hinata in the genju world...

Uzumaki Naruto only felt that looking at the young Hinata in front of him, he could no longer be as indifferent as before. Although looking back now, it seems that there is no specific memory of Hinata in the illusion world, but what Hinata will look like when he grows up. The picture of her appearance and her tenderly cooking for herself and comforting herself at home is extremely clear.

Uzumaki Naruto looked away unnaturally, while Hinata lowered her head with slightly red cheeks. Ever since Hinata Yuzuru said those words last time, when she looked at Naruto, she could no longer be as calm and innocent as before. Acting like a companion.

"Yuzuru-sama said before going out in the morning that he wanted me to go out for a walk more often... I just went for a walk."

Hinata Hinata thought in disbelief, did Hinata Yuzuru expect that she would meet Naruto in the morning?

Thinking of the other party's inexplicable smile when talking to her, Hinata couldn't believe it - this was a bit too powerful, wasn't it?

Uzumaki Naruto didn't think much about it. He scratched his head and subconsciously said, "Would you like to go together? Anyway, I'm fine..."

"Ah?" Hinata Hinata's eyes widened slightly, but Uzumaki Naruto didn't think it was a big deal, and to be honest, he really wanted to stay with Hinata for a while longer to see...

How similar is she to her appearance in the illusion?

Hinata in the genjutsu behaves exactly like his ideal wife, which makes Uzumaki Naruto can't help but fantasize - if only Hinata in reality could be the same as in the genjutsu.

He couldn't help but blush a little. Originally, Uzumaki Naruto had no idea about Hinata at all, but after experiencing the genjutsu, his view of Hinata changed somewhat.

Thinking about it carefully, the gentle Hinata seems to be better than the irritable Sakura, and she never hates herself. Unlike Sakura, she would say that she is a loser when she was studying, although later she did not Having said that...

In particular, Sakura still likes Sasuke, and Sasuke is her companion.

This is also one of the main reasons why Naruto now tells Hyuga Yuzuru that he doesn't like Sakura - even Naruto, when faced with the difficult problem of a girl he likes and a friend he likes, From time to time, you will feel disinterested and lack of interest.

In particular, compared to the original work, Uzumaki Naruto is obviously much more mature now after being educated by Hyuga Yuzuru. This also makes him more mature and rational when looking at relationships. Sometimes he can't help but think, does he really like Sakura? ? If so, what do you like about her?

Although I can find many advantages in Sakura, if I say that I fell in love with Sakura because of these advantages...it doesn't seem to be the case. Instead, it was more like I liked Sakura more because of those at that time. Sort of.

After experiencing a long life of genjutsu, Uzumaki Naruto seemed to think about his current life experience every other day and gained new insights.

Now thinking back to the reason why he fell in love with Sakura, Naruto had to admit that maybe it was just because Sakura was very dazzling in the class at that time and was the most active one among the girls - he was always The desire to be recognized by others, especially those who are shrouded in the 'spotlight' in the eyes of others.

So does Sasuke, so does Sakura...

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly woke up and looked to his side. Hinata Hinata was looking up at him from time to time. She met his eyes and lowered her head involuntarily: "Naruto-kun?"

"Sorry, what did you just say?" Uzumaki Naruto sneered, "I was a little distracted."

It's all Yuzuru-nii's fault. If it weren't for the illusion just now, how could I be like this?

Hinata whispered: "I mean...okay..."

Uzumaki Naruto grinned with a bright sunny smile: "Yeah!"

The two of them wandered aimlessly, and for the first time, Naruto began to ask Hinata about daily trivial matters, such as what she likes to do, what she likes to eat, what she did yesterday, and so on.

They were simply sharing their daily routine, but Naruto could feel that Hinata's attitude seemed a bit strange.

Although he had always been a bit rough, he was aware of Hinata's problem at this moment. The other person seemed to be particularly shy today. When he looked at her, he would look away as if he was frightened, and his cheeks were red, as if steam was about to come out, even if he screamed No matter how dull a person is, he can still notice that the reason for all this seems to be somewhat simple.

Is it...

She likes me! ?

Uzumaki Naruto was not sure, but his heart could not help but beat faster, and he thought with some inferiority: Is it really possible? Would someone like a guy like me...like it?

He remained silent and walked aimlessly with Hinata from the morning until the afternoon. It wasn't until Hinata's stomach growled with hunger that he realized what kind of stupid thing he had done. Even his ears turned red. Hinata was in a group, hanging her head and pretending to be dead. Naruto scratched his head and suggested: "How about I treat you to dinner?"

Hinata let out a muffled hum, her white eyes glanced at Naruto in panic, her hands were tangled in front of her body, and her breathing became short.

'What should I do...'

'If, if Naruto-kun likes me...'

‘Do you want to accept his confession? ’

'Or...'

"You like..."

"I, I promised!"

Uzumaki Naruto stared blankly at Hinata covering her face, but the next words came too late.

"Do you want ramen?"

"?"

Hinata stayed where she was.

after a few seconds.

His brain was overloaded, and steam almost came out of his head. He was dizzy and squatted on the ground holding his head.

shit...
