Chapter 243 Encounter
At the Hokage Rock in Konoha Village, Hinata stood on the portrait of the Fourth Hokage and looked at the scenery of the entire Konoha Village. She didn’t know how long Hinata stood there. Hinata remembered that Kakashi suddenly came to Hinata’s house more than three months ago. When she told her that Naruto met Jiraiya after completing the mission, he went to practice with Jiraiya and did not come back.
In fact, Hinata knew very well that something must have happened to Naruto, because if Naruto was going to practice with Jiraiya, he would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to come back and tell her, and besides, that mission was still Damn Anko, if Naruto hadn't encountered anything, he would never let such a thing happen, because Naruto values his partners the most, and although Naruto didn't say it, Hinata could feel it, Naruto There must be some hidden secret between her and Anko, but Naruto didn't tell her, so she didn't ask.
It's just that Anko's sacrifice this time must have been a big blow to Naruto. Hinata was really worried about Naruto's safety. If it weren't for taking care of Hanabi, she might have left the village to find Naruto. Thinking that her father actually launched a reform to lift the seal of the caged bird when she was away, Hinata's heart was agitated. You must know that if it is not handled well, the Hinata family may be in turmoil, and even she and her sister may be affected. Being involved, although she succeeded in the end, Hinata was still worried that some die-hards would still refuse to give up, which would be detrimental to the clan, so Hinata decided to stay in the village to guard Hanabi's safety.
Hinata finally sighed deeply and said: Naruto-kun, where are you now, and are you still safe? Just wait, I will go find you after I confirm that the family is stable. When the time comes, I will never let you leave me again. I have already lost once, and I finally got reborn again, and this time my strength is no longer so weak. I will never let you leave me again. I I will definitely protect you, for sure. Hinata's eyes were full of vicissitudes of life and determination, and such eyes were definitely not something a teenage girl could have.
Suddenly the vicissitudes of life in Hinata's eyes disappeared, and she became as innocent as ever. Hanabi came from behind Hinata and called: Sister, father asked you to go back and said that he has something to tell you, and there is Kurenai. The teacher came to our house in the morning and said he would go on a mission in the afternoon.
Hinata turned around and smiled: I understand, I'll go back in a moment.
Hanabi walked to Hinata and said angrily: It's all that idiot's fault. He suddenly went off to practice with that old Jiraiya, and didn't know to come back to tell you, making you worry every day. He, next time he comes back to see if I don’t deal with him properly, let him know what the consequences will be if he makes my sister worry, huh.”
Hinata smiled and touched Hanabi's head and said with a smile: Okay, next time he comes back, let our little princess Hanabi teach him a lesson, okay? Let him know the consequences of making our little princess worry so much.
Hanabi said arrogantly: Humph, of course. Well, no, sister, I stood up for you, why did you involve me? Who told you that I was worried about that idiot. Hanabi, who was originally arrogant, hurriedly said.
Hinata just smiled and said, Okay, let's go back. After that, he left.
After Hanabi came to her senses, she hurriedly chased after her and called, Sister, please wait for me.
When Hinata returned to Hinata's house, Hinata was already drinking tea on the coffee table in the backyard. Seeing Hinata coming, Hinata pointed to the seat opposite and said, Sit down, let's have a cup of tea. After saying that, he poured Hinata a cup of tea.
After Hinata was stunned for a moment, he sat across from Hizu, picked up the tea cup and drank. Hizu looked at Hinata and said, Are you worried about Naruto's safety? You have been worried about it for the past three months. Yes, you can't lie to me. I know you are worried about him. Since you are so worried about him, go and find out. After hearing what Hizu said, Hinata was about to say something but was interrupted by Hizu.
Hinata took back her original words and said after a while of silence: Father, you are right. I am very worried about Naruto-kun. Naruto-kun must have encountered something to prevent him from coming back. Mr. Kakashi I said that Naruto-kun went to practice with Mr. Jiraiya. I know that is a lie to me. I really want to go to Naruto-kun, but I can't go to him now because I'm worried that someone in the family will treat Hanabi. Unfortunately, although my father has reformed the family's traditions, I am still worried that someone will be dissatisfied with his father's actions and do something outrageous to the clan, so I want to wait until the family has stabilized, at least after ensuring Hanabi's safety. Then you can go find him.”
Hizu didn't expect that Hinata would worry about this. Hizu said: Actually, you don't have to worry about Hanabi. I have asked Neci to protect Hanabi's safety secretly. You and I don't have to worry about Hanabi's safety. With Neci's current situation In terms of strength, apart from me, his father and you, no one in Hinata’s family is his opponent, so with him protecting Hanabi’s safety, nothing will happen.”
Hinata was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Hidashi had already made arrangements. She thought to herself: It seems that I am overly worried. With brother Neji's protection, Hanabi should be fine.
Hizu said: Just in time, Yuhi Kurenai came here this morning and said that you have a mission to go out in the afternoon. You just take this opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of Naruto Uzumaki.
Hinata looked at Hizu's kind eyes, and Hinata was immediately moved: Thank you, father. His eyes were filled with mist.
Rizu said with a smile: Silly boy, why should you thank your father? Go ahead and chase your own happiness.
Hinata nodded heavily and said, Yes, I understand. I will definitely be a happy father.
On the edge of the Land of Fire, Naruto was walking in the dense forest. This time Naruto took on a mission. The content of the mission was to go deep into the forest to find an herb that could cure diseases. This herb only existed in rare places. In the big forest, this herb is guarded by a very huge crocodile.
The defense of this crocodile is very strong. Even ordinary A-level ninjutsu cannot hurt this crocodile. Moreover, the attack power of this crocodile is not weak. Many people have been killed by crocodiles in search of this herb. .
Naruto walked slowly. Suddenly, Naruto seemed to have discovered something. He hurriedly hurried forward. Not long after, Naruto came to a big river. Looking at the river in front of him, Naruto sensed it carefully. After a while, we headed upstream.
Naruto heard the sound of fighting before he came to the source of the river, and also sensed the familiar chakra fluctuations. Naruto stopped immediately, frowned and said: This chakra fluctuation, this is the chakra of the lustful immortal, lustful Who is the immortal fighting with? Naruto was very curious as to who was fighting with Jiraiya.
Naruto was worried about Jiraiya's safety and hurried to the place where the fight was taking place. When Naruto approached Jiraiya, he happened to see Jiraiya fighting a huge crocodile, and there were more than twenty people floating on the river. The carcasses of three crocodiles, each about ten meters long.
The one he was fighting with Jiraiya was a giant crocodile that was fifty meters long. The defense of this crocodile was astonishing. Gamabunta's tachi slashed behind the crocodile, causing some sparks. The crocodile's skin was not cut.
Seeing that Tai's sword could not hurt the crocodile, Gamabunta hurriedly stepped back. The giant crocodile did not catch up, but looked at Jiraiya and Gamabunta warily.
Bunta was dissatisfied and said: Jiraiya, how could you possibly provoke such a terrifying thing?
Jiraiya said helplessly: You think I want to, I just want to go to the river. Who knew that the crocodiles in the river suddenly attacked me? Who knew that after killing these crocodiles of about ten meters, I actually attracted such a pervert? Crocodile.
The crocodile swept its tail towards Bunta and Jiraiya. Bunta hurriedly jumped up with Jiraiya to avoid the crocodile's sweep. Seeing that Jiraiya actually dared to attack him arrogantly, he suddenly said angrily: Bunta use oil , I want to burn it to death. After saying that, he started to form seals.
Bunta puffed up his belly and spit out the toad oil unique to the Kemeiki Mountain toad, spraying it at the crocodile. At the same time, Jiraiya also issued a ninjutsu: Ninjutsu. Toad oil. Great flame bomb. The huge fireball hit the crocodile. It was covered, and even the river water was evaporated by the fireball, exposing the river bed.
After the fireball passed, the river slowly closed up. Jiraiya looked at the river and said, Is it dry?
Before he could take a closer look, a huge crocodile suddenly rushed out of the river at his feet. Jiraiya hurriedly avoided it. Looking at the unharmed crocodile, Jiraiya complained: It's really hard. , even this failed to kill it, it seems that we have to use other methods, Bunta, help me block it, I want to enter the sage mode. After saying that, he clasped his hands together and began to gather the natural chakra around him.
Gama Bunta blocked the crocodile's attack alone, but Bunta's ninjutsu failed to cause any harm to the crocodile. Bunta asked nervously: Okay, no Jiraiya.
Just when the crocodile bit Bunta again, Jiraiya, who had suddenly entered sage mode, came out and beat the crocodile violently. This time, the crocodile was finally hurt. After being injured, the crocodile hurriedly escaped from the river.
Bunta said hurriedly: Hurry up Jiraiya, it's going to run away.
Jiraiya shook his head and said: It doesn't matter, I don't want his life. Besides, we have a guest here, come out, friend.
Naruto, who was hiding in the tree, was stunned for a moment, then jumped from the tree into the river, standing on the river and facing Jiraiya eye to eye.
