Naruto and Shadow

In the morning, the sun rises.

The birds that had slept in the forest all night also spread their wings again and were ready to fly.

“So numb……”

Hino Hikaru woke up from his sleep and subconsciously moved his arms that were unable to extricate themselves because they were stuck in the valley.

After being wrapped in warm, soft and fragrant marshmallows all night, it still feels numb.

Recalling the madness that started during the day and continued into the night yesterday, as well as Tsunade’s amazing physical strength, Hino Hikaru was extremely satisfied but also a little flustered.

He was worried that he would collapse prematurely in front of Tsunade.

But fortunately, I don’t know why, but it seems that every time after a round, his physical strength becomes stronger at the beginning of the next round.

It’s like a super match…the attributes of a super thrasher

“Maybe this is also a benefit brought by this broken system?”

Since understanding the way of awakening super powers, Hino Hikaru has begun to push all unreasonable things to the system.

Well, it’s a good thing anyway.

And, thanks to this, the one who is sleeping so deeply now is Tsunade instead of him

“Have a good rest.”

After getting up from the bed, Hino Hikaru kissed Tsunade tenderly on her forehead.

This face and figure are really making people feel guilty the more they look at them.

I must have strong enough self-control, otherwise it will definitely happen again in the morning. Let’s do some morning exercise

“Morning, morning, good morning!”

Coming to the living room, Shizune, whose face was red, had already prepared a fragrant breakfast.

“Hikaru Hino…sir.”

And I don’t know why, today she seems to respect Hino Hikari more than before.

“morning.”

Don’t you usually regard him as an enemy?

Why today… this is the first time that Hino Hikaru gets the same treatment as Tsunade in terms of calling Shizune.

“I have washed the five sheets I changed last night and hung them outside to dry. The house has also been cleaned, and the bathroom… has been cleaned.……”

Like the lowest servant, Shizune was already kneeling on the ground when Hino Hikari came over, and her forehead was buried very low.

“What happened?”

Hino Hikaru didn’t know why.

Shizune had never been so humble in front of him before.

“I……”

Lifting her head slightly, Shizune’s face was full of pleading.

“Your eyes are red, who bullied you?”

Or did I disturb her last night and keep her awake?

But that shouldn’t be the case.

Shouldn’t I be more hostile to me if I disturbed her? Why are you kneeling here so humbly?

“No, I…can you help me…help me and let me stay at Tsunade-sama’s house? Please, let me do whatever you want, Hino-sama!”

“Tsunade wants to drive you away?”

“No, it’s not! Tsunade-sama is just for my own good and wants me to be independent as soon as possible. She also plans to give me money to buy a house in Konoha. She doesn’t say she won’t let me follow her anymore. It’s just that I don’t seem to be able to live here anymore.……”

“It turns out that Tsunade is too thin-skinned. She was overheard and even seen by you yesterday, which made her very embarrassed.”

Hino Hikaru finally understood what was wrong with Shizune today.

“But do you really want to stay here? It’s okay if you don’t do servant’s work. Also, Tsunade won’t alienate you just because you don’t live here. It’s probably for your own good that she wants you to move out.……”

“Me, I just want to serve Tsunade-sama, other than that, I have no other ideas! Please let me live here, I will never disturb you! Please, if it’s you, you can definitely help me convince Tsunade-sama!”

“Don’t be so excited, it’s just a small thing. If you really want to stay, just stay.”

It doesn’t matter to Hino Hikaru.

Such a big house does need some people to take care of it. Rather than leaving it to others, it’s better to mute it.

“Thank you, thank you, Hino-sama!”

“There’s no need to call me that, just treat me as before. Don’t forget, I’m still a graduate of the same class as you.”

“I know, I know, but Hino-san, can you be gentler to Tsunade-sama in the future? Tsunade-sama screamed as if she was in pain last night.……”

If it weren’t for the fear of annoying Tsunade again, Shizune would have rushed into the room to save people last night.

“Don’t worry about adults’ matters, children. Take good care of your Lady Tsunade. She was indeed tired last night, but she was not in pain.”

Hino Hikaru looked strangely and touched the head of the girl Shizune, who was still a piece of white paper.

This is the bad thing about wooden houses, they are not soundproof enough.

—————

“Hino-san!”

“Hino……”

As soon as he arrived at the training ground, Hino Hikaru saw Nohara Rin and Kakashi greeting him.

Among them, Kakashi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Hino Hikaru knew what he was thinking, but he still shook his head, indicating that he would discuss the matter later.

By the way, I wonder if any of them told Minato Namikaze about raiding Danzo’s lair that night?

“Hino, today you officially joined my Minato class, and thank you for protecting Kakashi, Rin, and Obito in the previous battle.”

Looking at Namikaze Minato who was also standing in the center of the training ground, smiling and waving at him, Hino Hikaru was a little curious. If Minato knew about their deal with Danzo, what would his attitude be?

Support or oppose it?

Or tell Saru directly. Tobi Hiruzen?

No, with Namikaze Minato’s character, it should be impossible to take the initiative to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about this.

But it should also be impossible to support them.

“By the way, from now on, just like them, just call me Minato-sensei.”

“Yes, Mr. Minato……”

“Hum, his teacher is me, not you!”

Just when Hino Hikaru was about to call Minato Namikaze-sensei, Uzumaki Kushina appeared out of nowhere and suddenly pulled him over.

“Kushina?”

When Namikaze Minato saw Kushina blatantly”robbing people” in front of him, not only was he not angry, but he also showed a doting smile.

“You weren’t angry with me yesterday, were you?……”

It seems like they had a couple conflict yesterday?

“Aren’t you going to do a village mission soon? Why are you still here?”

Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato and her expression wasn’t very good.

“Sorry, I thought I could stay in the village for the whole day, but Hokage-sama temporarily……”

After realizing that Kushina seemed still angry, Namikaze Minato had no choice but to apologize again.

“Hokage-sama? Tsk……”

Compared to her previous respect for Hokage-sama, Kushina now only has disdain.

“There are indeed some rumors about Hokage recently, but they are probably not true”

“Oh, not really? Then does your Hokage-sama dare to face me now?”

In addition to being let go of the promised date, Namikaze Minato’s attitude was also one of the triggers of the quarrel between Kushina and him yesterday.

“Kushina……”

“Forget it, it’s useless to argue with you about this kind of thing. In short, it’s me who wants to recruit disciples today, not you.”

Kushina said as she took Hino Hikari’s arm.

“Are you right?”

“Um……”

Facing Kushina’s unquestionable eyes, Hino Hikaru could only give in.

“Okay, then Hino will be your disciple in Minato’s class from now on.”

“What is Minato’s class? It’s my Kushina class. I’m also a jounin and I have the ability to lead a class.”

“However, without Hokage-sama’s approval……”

“Don’t talk to me about Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not worthy of being Hokage at all!”

“Kushina!”

Namikaze Minato rarely showed an angry expression, but it was only for a moment.

“Lord Hokage has his own considerations, and the truth about this matter has not yet come out.……”

“The truth, could the ‘Nine-Tails’ surveillance log I showed you be fake? Or do you think I am throwing dirty water on your Hokage-sama?”

Yes, that’s right. Many of those who put up big-character posters were paid for by Kushina secretly, and she was also the main author of the big-character posters.

Of course, Hino Hikaru was still in charge of the whole thing.

“I……”

Namikaze Minato knew that this was indeed an irreconcilable conflict, but in his heart he didn’t think there was anything wrong with Sarutobi Hiruzen spying on Kushina.

After all, he is the jinchūriki of the tailed beasts…

Considering the overall situation of the village, surveillance is also a form of protection.

“That’s enough, I’m going to start testing my disciples, everyone else, please step aside!”

Kushina took out a small bell from her arms, and then issued an order to expel Minato Namikaze who was about to say something.

“……”

Namikaze Minato looked at Hino Hikaru, who was obviously joining his class, Kushina, who didn’t look like she was joking, and Nohara Rin and Kakashi, whose expressions remained unchanged.

Did something happen while he was away from the village?

Why is it that, except for himself, no one else is surprised at Kushina’s sudden impulse to recruit a disciple?
