Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

The villages were analyzing the information and making their own responses in full swing, among which the busiest was probably Kirigakure, after all, their Six Tails Jinchuriki was still wandering outside, whereabouts unknown.

The Six Tails, Saiken's main body is a giant white Slug, of course, compared to the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, it is a drop in the bucket, and there is no relationship between the two.

And although Utakata, the Six Tails Jinchuriki's experience was not as miserable as Gaara's, it was not much better. Fortunately and unfortunately, he had a master, Harusame, who wanted to help him get rid of his Jinchuriki status.

Harusame thought he had developed a safe method to extract the Tailed Beast, but he was an action-oriented person who was too strong in action. He didn't explain things clearly to Utakata, so he directly tied Utakata up and began to extract the Tailed Beast without saying a word.

This led Utakata to mistakenly believe that his master wanted to kill him, and as a result—as everyone knows, Jinchuriki will go berserk when they encounter a life-and-death crisis, so Harusame died.

Because he killed his companion, and also because he felt betrayed by someone he trusted, Utakata fled Kirigakure sadly and confused. At the same time, after that, he never believed in the so-called bond between master and apprentice, and hated others calling him "master."

Yagura, who found out the truth, almost cried in the toilet. What kind of teammates did he have? Just because he didn't explain a word clearly, Kirigakure lost a veteran Jonin and a Jinchuriki was lost.

But things had already happened. Knowing that someone wanted to capture the Tailed Beast, letting Utakata wander outside would be like delivering food, so he had to send someone to find him.

Of course, what Yagura didn't know was that Utakata, who he thought was food, was now being courted by a watery cabbage.

The girl's name was Hotaru, and in some respects, she was comparable to Hinata. After meeting Utakata, she shamelessly insisted on following him to learn Ninjutsu, and slowly developed some feelings.

Utakata refused at first. He was allergic to the word "master", but over time, and by chance, after experiencing various things, he was being moved by the girl.

As for whether Utakata will be taken home by the girl first, or taken home by Yagura first, it depends on fate and people's hearts.

Naruto didn't remember this for the time being, and he hadn't encountered it yet. As a personal witness to two major events in Konoha, Naruto had just returned to the village.

According to the usual practice, he had to take Sasuke to the Hokage Office to have Minato inspect the goods first, and then pay the money and hand over the person. If he didn't hand over the person... he couldn't tear up the ticket either.

The village would pay for the part of the reward for the subjugation of Hiruko. Team 7 helped with the rescue of Sasuke as a favor. Fugaku originally planned to handle it officially, but Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura didn't intend to ask for it.

In the end, Mikoto suggested that everyone come to her house tomorrow as guests, and she would entertain them well as an expression of gratitude. Everyone happily agreed.

The next morning, Naruto first went to the Hyuga Clan to pick up Hinata. Mikoto specifically told Naruto to invite Hinata, because the little girl had also helped a lot, and Naruto naturally followed suit.

Before long, Hinata opened the door, wearing a purple top with off-the-shoulder three-quarter sleeves and a white knee-length skirt. Her dark hair was draped over her shoulders, and her smile was breathtaking.

"Hinata," Naruto called softly.

"Hmm?" Hinata tilted her head slightly.

"Spin around."

"Okay." Hinata nodded in agreement, gently lifted her skirt with both hands, moved her toes lightly, and spun gracefully in place.

The white dress danced, drawing a beautiful circle, revealing her fair calves. After Hinata stopped moving, the skirt twisted for a while due to inertia before returning to its original shape.

Her long hair on her shoulders also fluttered and fell with Hinata's movements, and a few playful strands of hair swayed in front of her ears with the wind.

Naruto tidied her hair before Hinata raised her hand, and looked at her delicate face, only managing to squeeze out a sentence after a long while: "So beautiful."

Gu Jun

Hinata smiled softly. She was already used to Naruto's simple and direct way of complimenting people. She took Naruto's hand that was tidying her hair, and the two walked hand in hand.

When passing by Sakura's house, Sakura was already waiting at the door. When she saw Naruto and Hinata, she waved happily, then ran over and snatched Hinata away.

Sakura ignored Naruto's glare, held Hinata's hands with both hands, and praised, "Hinata, you look so beautiful today!"

Hinata also praised, "Sakura, you look very beautiful today too."

Sakura wore a short red jacket on her upper body, a light pink mid-length skirt on her lower body, black long boots, and her cherry-colored long hair was obviously carefully styled. A red ribbon Forehead Protector was tied on top of her head like a hairband, making her look heroic and spirited.

Sakura obviously valued the visit to the Uchiha Clan even more than Hinata did. Last time, she was worried that Sasuke would be called away in a hurry and she wouldn't have time to dress up carefully, but this time she could prepare properly.

Along the way, she kept pulling Hinata and asking if there was anything wrong with her appearance. Hinata comforted her in a low voice. She could see Teacher Kushina almost every day, and she didn't have Sakura's worries.

Naruto scoffed. Sakura Bro was acting shy like a little girl today... Huh? Is something wrong?

"Morning," a lazy bum greeted casually, then naturally joined the team, holding a book and trailing behind Naruto.

"Good morning, Teacher Kakashi," Sakura and Hinata responded seriously, then started chatting about girls' topics.

Naruto put his hands behind his head boredly. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that Kakashi was following him closely. Naruto went left, and Kakashi went left; Naruto went right, and Kakashi went right. It seemed that most of his attention was on the book.

"New book?" Naruto glanced at the cover, which was different from before—Make-Out Tactics.

"Yeah, although I've seen some of Lord Jiraiya's manuscripts before, they were carefully revised before publication. This part..."

Kakashi answered casually, then suddenly stopped the topic. He couldn't talk about the specific content with Naruto.

I hate people who only say half of what they want to say. Naruto saw the lamppost on the side of the road and had an idea.

Naruto quietly adjusted his walking direction, and sure enough, Kakashi was still following closely.

Hinata noticed that Naruto was walking away and wanted to remind him, but Sakura stopped her. Seeing the smile on Naruto's face, she knew he had some bad idea. It would be good to prank Teacher Kakashi, and she was happy to watch the fun.

When he walked to the lamppost, Naruto was secretly delighted. He hadn't noticed yet. He quietly took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai and gently threw it to the back of the lamppost.

When he was 1 centimeter away from the lamppost, Naruto instantly appeared behind the lamppost, pretending that nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

"Clang!" It wasn't the "bang" or "clang" sound he had imagined. Naruto turned his head in confusion.

Kakashi's hand holding the spine of the book touched the lamppost, but he himself was unharmed. Kakashi looked at Naruto speechlessly: "You wouldn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique for a prank, would you?"

Naruto casually stuffed the Kunai back into his Ninja Tool Bag: "It's a pity that even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, I couldn't prank you. The Konoha Technician is indeed well-deserved."

"Sigh~" Naruto and Sakura sighed in disappointment at the same time, and Hinata covered her mouth and snickered.

Kakashi was even more helpless: "What does this have to do with the Konoha Technician, and how much do you want to prank me..."
