Hikaru Hokage

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was becoming more and more tense, Nohara Lin also quickly grabbed Kakashi who was sitting opposite her.

"Sorry, I really don't have much appetite today. When Minato-sensei comes back, help me apologize to him."

Ignoring everyone in the barbecue restaurant, Kakashi shook off Nohara Rin's hand and walked straight out of the store.

"why is it like this……"

It wasn't until Kakashi's figure disappeared outside the store that Nohara Lin returned to her seat with some reluctance.

As for Sarutobi Nagatani and his group, who almost had a conflict with Kakashi just now, they started drinking and eating meat again as if nothing had happened.

Only this time, when they talked about others, their voices were lowered.

"Where did Kakashi go? Going to the bathroom?"

Obito, who was full of barbecue, realized that only he and Nohara Rin were left in the seats.

He had no idea what had happened just now, and he only felt that Kakashi was trying to let him and Nohara Rin be alone.

I felt a little moved in my heart.

"No, he..."

Nohara Rin wanted to explain what had just happened, but when she looked at Obito Uchiha, whose mouth was full of oil, she felt tired again.

Let’s not say that much.

"Obito, do you think Hikaru Hino has really hurt his companions?"

Minato-sensei seemed to be comforting Kushina-san who was getting angry because she couldn't complete the village mission, but Kakashi got angry for no apparent reason.

Now Nohara Rin can only chat with Obito.

She tried to simplify as much as possible the evaluation that Sarutobi Nagatari and his team had just made about Hino Hikaru.

"I don't know, but if it were me, I would never let my companions die!"

Uchiha Obito patted his chest with a serious look on his face.

At the same time, he also took a brief look at Sarutobi Nagato and his group not far away.

those guys...

Maybe you were smearing Hino Hikaru because you were jealous of his appearance?

As someone who was also a little jealous of Hino Hikaru, Uchiha Obito quickly figured out the reason why Hino Hikaru had always had a poor reputation.

However, he did not tell Nohara Lin about his inner speculation.

"..."

Seeing the stupid look on her companion's face, Nohara Lin showed a helpless smile.

"Well, I believe you."

Forget it, let’s finish our meal early and check out and go home.

Nohara Rin looked at Obito who was happy because of her words, while silently thinking about the back of Kakashi who just left.

There was also the back of Hikaru Hino that I had seen in the forest before.

Inexplicably, she suddenly felt that the two back figures seemed to overlap.

The same loneliness.

-

After working as the sixth child in the Hokage Building, Hino Hikaru returned to his residence.

Single room, narrow, not facing the sun.

A standard item for Konoha War Orphans.

Just the right room, just the right living expenses, and just the right reward for genin missions.

Our Hokage-sama is very good at controlling the Konoha ninjas here.

"Chunin?"

Hino Hikaru was lying on the bed staring at the not very clean ceiling in a daze.

He remembered the Chuunin exam that the Third Hokage mentioned today.

To be honest, if it weren't for his superpower of invisibility, he might not even be able to become a genin.

Hikaru Hino's ninja talent is shockingly low.

He practiced hard for a long time before reluctantly mastering the Three Body Technique, and his chakra was extremely thin.

Even now, his chakra amount is only enough for him to use one transformation technique, one substitution technique, and one clone technique.

After using these three basic ninjutsu, his chakra will basically bottom out.

It is precisely because of this that he stayed in the ninja school for a long time before graduating.

"Although the mission reward for being promoted to Chunin should be a little more than that of Genin, the danger will also increase exponentially..."

Invisibility is not a panacea.

For example, the Hyuga family's Byakugan can completely see through themselves.

There are so many weird secret techniques in the ninja world, and Hino Hikaru doesn't think he can continue to do so.

Not to mention that he was almost targeted by Danzo today.

If it were revealed that he would become invisible not because of his teleportation... but because of a strange superpower, Hino Hikaru could totally imagine a future in which he was captured to the core and then sent to the experimental platform for Orochimaru to manipulate.

"Forget it, just deal with it casually during the assessment in a few days, and then lie down on the ground and admit defeat."

But just as he was lying on the bed ready to rest.

"Is there someone on the roof?"

There was the sound of someone passing by on the roof.

Chapter 4 Awakening

"Is there someone on the roof?"

Hino Hikaru, who had just been lying on the bed about to close his eyes, quickly opened his eyes again.

Put on your shoes and walk out the door.

He saw several figures flashing across the roof.

"It's the ANBU mask."

Hino Hikaru felt nervous when he saw the figure.

But then I saw those people suddenly disappeared.

It seems that he is not here to find himself.

Hino Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief.

It was all because he had met Danzo before, which made his nerves start to get tense.

"Those people just now should be the ANBU directly under the Hokage, they don't look like Gen..."

After closing the door, Hino Hikaru made a simple alarm trap with wire before returning to the bed.

Um! ?

However, what he didn't expect was that a figure suddenly rushed out from under his bed, and pressed him heavily on the bed.

"Well……"

The person who held him down was very experienced and covered his mouth with his hand just for a moment, preventing him from calling for help.

Moreover, the opponent's strength was quite strong, and Hino Hikaru felt as if his whole body was being clamped by a tiger.

Who is it?

Hino Hikaru, who was pressed down on the bed, raised his head desperately.

"Hmph, how could the old man's ANBU capture me... hiccup..."

It's a woman's voice.

And...it smells so strong of alcohol.

is her?

Hino Hikaru didn't see the other person's face for the first time, because there were two thick pieces of fat that almost obscured his face.

It wasn't until he raised his head desperately that he finally saw the face of the person coming——

Blonde hair, brown eyes, thin lips, and a small diamond-shaped mark on his forehead.

Coupled with the body that almost covered his entire face before...

Hino Hikaru quickly guessed the identity of the other party.

"If I didn't have money to repay my debt...I wouldn't go back to Konoha...well..."

That's right, the woman on top of him was actually one of the Sannin of Konoha, Princess Tsunade of Konoha, who was already famous in the ninja world.

"Hey kid, no matter if you recognize me or not, don't scream when I let you go later. Do you understand me?"

"..."

This woman's strength was too great. In order not to be restrained, Hino Hikaru could only nod quickly.

However, even though he was raided, if it was this woman, her life would not be in danger.

If Danzo's men or hostile ninjas from other villages had been suppressed at such close range just now, there would be absolutely no way for him to survive.

"It's good to know...well..."

At this moment, this uninvited guest was completely unaware of the harm that this position of woman on top of man would bring to a young boy.

Not only that, but she was minding her own business, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she let go of the hand that was suppressing the boy, and then actually lay directly on the boy's body.

"Tonight...let me stay the night...don't tell that old man Sandaime...otherwise...I will demolish this place...and you, do you hear me? Hmm..."

This fierce kunoichi was completely confused and even retching all the time.

"Hey……"

Can a ninja be so drunk?

Wait, don't throw up on the bed!

Although the facial cleanser that I was looking forward to just now finally came to me, Tsunade-sama seemed to have the urge to vomit on his bed.

For a moment, Hino Hikaru didn't know whether to enjoy it or worry about his house.

"I don't have to tell Hokage-sama, but do you really have nowhere else to live?"

After crawling out from under Tsunade with difficulty, Hino Hikaru finally regained his freedom.

But the smell of alcohol in the room and the feminine scent of Tsunade made him feel a little unreal.

"A small house like mine can't accommodate two people..."

There is not enough space on the bed for two people.

Hino Hikaru didn't want to sleep on a dirty, cold floor.

This is his home, not even Tsunade can...

Okay, but I really can't seem to beat her, unless I try to trigger her hemophobia?

"Fell asleep?"

But the female ninja on the bed seemed to have closed her eyes and started to sleep soundly.

"real or fake……"

A "wild" Tsunade suddenly broke into the house, and then she slept on his bed inexplicably.

But luckily she didn't vomit...

Otherwise, the sheets and bedding can be washed tomorrow.

But what to do now?
