Son of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha

I practiced until I was exhausted in the morning, and after taking a nap in the afternoon, I was able to be alive and kicking. Naruto had a preliminary understanding of his own recovery power. Does this mean that I should practice to death as long as I can't die?

However, there was no training plan in the afternoon because Kushina went to work and told Naruto not to train more. He was too young and would easily get injured if he exercised too much.

Kushina is different from Uchiha Mikoto. Mikoto can be a full-time wife at home when there is no war. But Kushina is a Jinchuuriki and must maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness, so in addition to going to work every day, she occasionally has to go out to perform tasks.

After all, Naruto is now three years old and does not need much care. Even Kakashi has long ceased to be responsible for protecting Naruto. Instead, he often takes on various difficult tasks and has already earned a reputation as a Konoha technician.

head.

Kushina said that she couldn't train, and Naruto felt that he should listen to his mother and not let her get hurt. How about reading a book? He didn't know enough words, even "The Legend of Strong Perseverance" was not enough to read through, and he had nothing to do at home.

Well, Naruto decided to go out for a walk.

After walking through the streets and looking at shops, I felt that Konoha was similar to a small county town. The passers-by were quite enthusiastic towards Naruto. After all, he was the son of a hero.

In fact, some people originally called Naruto "Master Naruto", but they were seriously corrected by Minato and Kushina.

Naruto thought it didn't matter, since he had no intention of using his status as the village chief's stupid son to act arrogantly.

Naruto was just wandering around aimlessly, and unknowingly arrived at the ninja school.

But of course there is nothing strange about the school. The main thing is that he saw an acquaintance at the door. Naruto walked up to him with a smile and said hello: "Grandpa Third Generation!"

In my heart, I was curious. Although the eldest son of the third generation was busy with work and the second son ran away from home, his wife was still alive. Why was he here when he was not at home with his wife? Could it be that after retirement, he could no longer use the crystal ball to peek into the women's bathhouse? He was unbearably lonely and ran away

Work as a concierge at school?

Sandai retracted his legs that had already entered the school, and replied with a smile: "It's Naruto, do you want to come out and play by yourself?"

"Hmm. Why is the third generation grandpa here?" Although he knew that there must be ANBU following him, since he was a demi-jinchuuriki after all, they couldn't show their heads, so there was nothing wrong with him going out to play by himself.

"Haha, grandpa will give a lecture to the children later."

"lecture?"

"Yes, does Naruto know about the Will of Fire?"

Without waiting for Naruto to answer, Sandai rubbed Naruto's head and continued: "Where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

Naruto thought to himself: 'I know this part well.' But he didn't say anything.

"Haha, it's too early for you. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Okay." Naruto nodded. He had never been to a ninja school.

Naruto followed him into the school with great interest. The third generation taught Naruto science while walking:

"The Ninja School was established by the second generation of adults. Since its establishment, it has cultivated many talents for Konoha... blah blah blah..."

"The second generation, your name is Senju Tobirama, and he is my teacher. He is the younger brother of the first generation, Senju Hashirama, and he developed many ninjutsu. Your father, the Yondaime, is best at the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, which was invented by Tobirama."

At that time, he was known as the fastest god in the ninja world..."

"Speaking of which, your father and mother met in the ninja school. Back then, Kushina was kidnapped by enemy ninjas. It was Minato who rescued her. Later..."

…

That's how old people are. As long as there is an audience, they can talk non-stop. Sometimes they don't care whether you respond or not, or even whether you are really listening, as long as you are there.

Naruto suddenly felt a little sorry for this old man. Although in his previous life, he often complained about him with others, talking about being greedy for power, Minato was just a puppet Hokage, and Danzo was connived by him, etc., but at this time, he was just an ordinary empty nester.

That’s all.

Naruto listened to the Sandai tell a lot about the history of the Ninja School, the glorious deeds of the past Hokage, and the gossip about his parents. The old man seemed to be satisfied, or maybe it was because the class time was up, so he let Naruto play by himself.

…

In this way, I completed my physical training every morning, ran around the village in the afternoon, and lived a peaceful life. Two months passed quickly.

Konoha has entered winter in December. Different from the so-called "cold and humid with magic damage" in Jiangcheng's winter, the winter in Konoha is more like the "dry and cold with physical damage" in the north. You need to wear a little more clothes when you go out every day.

The delegation from Kumoyin Village of the Land of Thunder has been staying in Konoha for several days, and the negotiations between the two countries on the alliance have come to an end. Konoha decided to hold a celebration on December 27 to celebrate the alliance between the two countries. That day happened to be Hyuga

The eldest daughter of the clan, Hinata Hinata’s 3rd birthday.

People in Konoha seem to attach great importance to their children's third birthday, as if they are qualified to be called an independent person after turning three years old. Naruto's third birthday was celebrated more grandly than the previous two, and the Hinata family celebrated it more grandly.

is more important.

On this day, the entire Hyuga clan is going to attend Hinata's third birthday celebration, even ignoring the village festival. Because that day is to establish Hinata's status as the legitimate daughter of the clan, and to mark Neji as a branch of the clan as a caged bird.

From now on, Neji will live to protect the eldest lady of the clan.

The Caged Bird is a bit like an enhanced version of the Tightening Curse. One function is that the clan can give splitting headaches to the members of the branch who are engraved with the Cage Bird Curse, and it can even directly damage the brain nerves and kill the branch. The second is the ability to seal the Byakugan.

When the surgeon dies or has his eyes removed, the eyeballs and brain are destroyed to prevent the white of the eyes from flowing out.

At this time, Ningji... seemed to be enjoying it. This child seemed to be a sister-in-law. He was not averse to protecting his cousin at all, and was even happy...

This was the case in the original work. It wasn't until the death of Neji's father, Hyuga Hizashi, that Neji hated the system of the clan and separate families, and hated the caged bird.

Hyuga Nisashi himself was even willing to die for Hinata in order to get rid of the caged bird. He claimed that this was his decision and believed that he had resisted the so-called fate.

But if you think about it more pessimistically, the word "caged bird" actually has a nursery rhyme with the same name in the Totoro. The general idea is that someone will replace the caged bird at the last moment and become the scapegoat. This is a bit ironic, Hizashi mustered up his courage

The way to resist is to become Rizu's scapegoat, which in turn fits the meaning of the caged bird.

Everyone has their own ideas. The villagers of Konoha happily participated in the alliance celebration ceremony, including Naruto, who also went shopping and eating accompanied by Kushina;

The Hyuga family solemnly participated in the third birthday ceremony of the eldest daughter of the clan. I don’t know how many people, like Hizashi, felt silently unfair about the fate of their children;

However, the ninjas of Yunyin Village have ulterior motives and are planning to cause trouble.

The next day, a piece of news spread quietly in Konoha - "Shocking! The kidnapping of the daughter of Hyuga Group Chairman"

The leader of the Kumogakure envoys actually kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, and was discovered by the clan leader Hyuga Hiashi and shot dead on the spot. However, the Kumogakure envoys beat the enemy and falsely accused the Hyuga family of killing people for no reason and asked Konoha to hand over the murderer.

The residents were talking a lot. Some sympathized with Hinata's experience, some cursed the Kumogakure ninja for being shameless, and some were worried that conflicts would arise.

If this matter is not handled well, it may turn Konoha and Kumogakure, who have just formed an alliance, into enemies.

So Minato immediately went to Hinata's house, intending to understand the whole story in detail and negotiate a solution.
