Hikaru Hokage

"If you didn't respond to me at all, I might be severely, severely hit, and even refuse to treat you, so it's not your fault."

How could an adolescent girl who had just started to be in love remain indifferent to such a thing.

"By the way, you can also put your hands on me. Maybe you will calm down after feeling my heartbeat."

Hino Hikaru pointed to his chest.

"Um……"

Konan blushed and hesitated for a while, before finally having the courage to stretch out her little hand and touch Hino Hikari's chest.

Plop plop.

It was a strong heartbeat, and it seemed very...

"Hino's heartbeat is also very fast."

"Because I...have a guilty conscience."

Commonly known as guilty conscience.

He's not really a scumbag, and he would feel guilty for having contact with a girl in this way.

But now that I have decided to do it, I have been doing it for several days.

It's impossible for him to regret anything anymore.

Hino Hikaru felt Konan's smooth little hands while adjusting his breathing and calming his heartbeat.

"Hino..."

Feeling the boy's heartbeat gradually return to normal from the disorder, Xiaonan also became much calmer.

but……

What does it mean to have a guilty conscience?

Could it be that he didn't just want to see me as a "patient", but also like me...

Letting go of his hand, Xiaonan subconsciously placed his palm on the back of Hino Hikaru's hand, and felt his heartbeat with him.

And the feeling of the other person's chakra swimming around her heart.

"Try to use the same breathing rhythm, I'm going to start."

Hino Hikaru glanced at the girl who took the initiative to grab the back of his hand, and then entered serious mode.

Although the actions of the two were very ambiguous, the complexity of the curse seal no longer allowed him to think wildly during the actual "treatment".

Moreover, Kushina seemed to have missed a very important point when teaching him how to break the curse.

That is because his chakra amount is too small, and he cannot do it for an hour at a time. He will have to stop treating Konan in half an hour at most because the chakra is exhausted.

Therefore, the process of him undoing the curse on Xiaonan was undoubtedly a long process.

I'm afraid it will take at least two to three months, not one month as initially speculated.

"Sister Kushina, Lord Hokage has told us to go to the Hokage's office immediately. Is Hino-san here?"

I don’t know how long it took, but when Kushina was standing outside the house wondering if she should go in to take a peek at how Hino Hikaru was “treating” Konan, two people she was familiar with, Nohara Rin and Kakashi But suddenly appeared in front of him.

There are more and more wounded soldiers on the front line, and Tsunade and Shizune are basically on duty in Konoha Hospital during the day.

Therefore, there is no one guarding the Tsunade family's house except Hino Hikaru himself.

"Why did you two come in without knocking?"

But Kushina, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, was still a little dissatisfied with the sudden intrusion of Nohara Rin and Kakashi.

"Sorry, the door was open, so we came in."

Kakashi replied while looking towards the inner room.

"Is Hino in there?"

"Guang is still 'treating' Konan and cannot be disturbed. By the way, what does the Hokage want to see you for?"

As soon as she heard that there was a mission, Kushina also became more energetic.

"It's not us. This mission also involves you, Kushina-sister."

"I?"

"Hokage-sama said that you are the leader of this mission. Doesn't Sister Kushina know that yet?"

Nohara Lin put her ear to the door of the room.

But there was no sound at all.

"Is this... a mission out of the village?"

Kushina was a little unbelievable. The Third Hokage actually arranged for her to do village tasks?

"Of course, I heard that it's still a mission related to the tailed beast, but we can't really know what the mission is until we receive the mission scroll."

"Damn it, wouldn't I lose something like this?"

You can obviously leave the village by yourself, so why did you ask for help from Hikaru Hino, a stinky disciple?

When Kushina lamented that happiness came too suddenly, she quickly remembered that her previous efforts seemed to be in vain.

If she had known that the Third Hokage would suddenly "enlighten", why would she humbly beg Minato and Hino?

"deficit?"

Kakashi was confused.

"What happened?"

wow.

The door panel of the room was opened, and the figures of Hino Hikari and Konan finally appeared in front of everyone.

"We have a new mission, Hino-kun."

Nohara Rin secretly looked at the expressions of Hino Hikaru and Konan.

Compared to the previous times, Xiaonan finally stopped blushing when she came out of the room this time, but...

Why does it feel more disturbing than before?

It was as if the two of them had become accustomed to something, or had acquiesced to something.

There is an indescribable feeling of tacit understanding.

Shaking her head, Nohara Lin got rid of this strange thought in her mind.

It's impossible for Hino-san to develop a crush on other girls so quickly. She must be overthinking it.

-

"Three tails?"

Naruto Building.

In the Hokage-sama's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained the core of the mission to Kushina and his party with a serious look on his face.

"According to reliable information, the three tails of Kirigakure Village escaped from Kirigakure Village for some unknown reason, and it has already had an impact on the battle situation on the front line, so we have to pay attention to this information."

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the obtained information and mission scroll to Uzumaki Kushina in front of him.

"Kushina, your sealing technique is the best, so you will lead the team this time. Your purpose is to prevent the people of Kirigakure Village from sealing the Three-Tails, or even directly capture the Three-Tails and return to the village."

"Capturing the three tails...but..."

Kushina felt that this mission was a bit too sudden.

"Are you worried about the Jinchuuriki?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept across the faces of Nohara Rin, Kakashi, Hino Hikari and others, and then stopped on Kakashi.

"Kakashi, would you like to be another Jinchuuriki in this village?"

Although the probability of capturing the Three-Tails in this mission should be low, Sarutobi Hiruzen still considered the candidate for the Jinchuuriki.

"I?"

Kakashi looked at the others present.

There seems to be no other suitable candidate here.

But he was still a little unsure.

Because now he doesn't even have the power to master the Sharingan.

"It's okay if you don't want to. Your main mission is to stop the people in Kirigakure Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Kakashi's hesitation.

Moreover, in fact, he never thought about letting these people catch the three tails.

His real purpose is actually...

"Shisui, you also go with them and try to keep everyone safe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked back at Uchiha Shisui who was standing behind him.

"Uchiha Shisui?"

Kakashi looked at the figure who had been standing in the Hokage's office from the beginning.

"Well, please give me some advice."

Uchiha Shisui nodded friendly towards Kakashi.

"Protecting our safety? No need. I can protect Lin and Kakashi alone. Besides, is this protection or surveillance?"

Kushina expressed her dissatisfaction directly.

She's obviously been asked to be the team leader, why don't you trust her?

"Of course it won't be surveillance, Kushina, you are the captain of this mission team, and Shisui will also have to obey your orders during the mission."

After hearing Kushina's words, the corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were twitching, but he still explained patiently.

"That's good. I don't want another person to spy on me secretly, and this person is also a companion on the mission."

Ever since that incident, Kushina's attitude towards Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer polite at all.

"..."

Regarding Kushina's disrespect for him, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

He could only shake his head helplessly, and then told them to set off.

-

"I didn't expect that I would actually be asked to leave the village..."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Kushina began to glare at Hino Hikaru fiercely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You owe me a favor!"

Xiaonan seemed to have given it to him for free.

When she thought of this, Kushina was so angry that her teeth started to itch.

"It's baffling...I think we should talk about the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki before we set off."

Although Kakashi didn't seem to catch a cold, Hino Hikaru was still very interested in the jinchūriki.

Chapter 1 Xiaonan: Seeking comfort【4K】

"Isn't it too risky to let the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki leave the village?"

For Konoha, which already has the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the Three-Tails is simply dispensable.

Unlike the Hidden Cloud Village, their Konoha masters the perfect jinchūriki technique.

Therefore, Danzo could not understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's move to send Uzumaki Kushina out of the village.
