On this side—
White Zetsu continued on his journey to find a boss.
On the other side...
Konoha.
The academy had just ended.
After playing around for a bit, the [Rookie Nine] were getting ready to head home.
After all—
There was a lot of homework tonight!
"That's settled then!" Naruto cheered, pumping his little fists. "We'll go to the amusement park with Sasuke when the time comes!"
As he finished speaking—
Sasuke, standing beside him, pouted impatiently. "So boring."
An amusement park?
That kind of place is obviously for little kids!
If Uncle Yuto hadn't suddenly brought a bunch of tickets to his house—
And then—
His mother shoved them at him, telling him to bring them to school, Naruto wouldn't have found out. If Naruto hadn't found out... he wouldn't have to go to that childish place with this bunch of childish people.
That's right—
He,
Uchiha Sasuke, is already a big kid, not a child anymore!
So deep down, he really didn't want to go. He was just being dragged along by Naruto. And... that guy is seriously annoying, always clinging to him, sometimes even asking if he had a little sister.
How ridiculous!
He, Uchiha Sasuke, only has one Onii-chan—where would a little sister come from!
[That's right! That's right! So infuriating!] Sakura, across the way, also clenched her small fists in frustration.
In fact, she was actually the one who found the amusement park tickets with Naruto.
Lately, the village had been promoting this "Yuto Amusement Park," which sounded super fun—perfect for boys and girls to go to together, or so the advertising claimed.
It hadn't opened yet, so who really knew?
But—
She just wanted to go play there alone with Sasuke.
Thanks to Naruto shouting about it... everyone found out, and then those shameless bitches started crowding in too.
Too infuriating!
If Sasuke weren't here and she didn't need to maintain her ladylike image, she would've already punched Naruto in the face.
So what if he's the Fourth Hokage's son?
If he blocks her path to love, he's getting punched to death!
However—
Aside from Nara Shikamaru, who found it troublesome, the others were all quite interested and looking forward to it.
After all, the village and the internet had been flooded with ads for it lately.
All those various amusement facilities had long stirred their curiosity. Life at the academy was dull as ever.
Especially a few days ago... some parent reported that students were dating outside of academy and asked the academy to assign more homework—and this request was approved by the Hokage. As a result, teachers were stricter, and the homework increased.
It's really hateful!
The kids in the Ninja World naturally crave excitement!
Now stuck in this boring routine of study, who could bear it?!
That's why they were so looking forward to going to this curious new amusement park!
As the [Rookie Nine] walked along, they dreamed of the day they could all go play there.
One by one, they split off as they passed their homes.
Sasuke's house was the furthest away.
Gradually... fewer people remained, until only three were left: Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Hyuga Hinata.
Soon—
They reached the Hyuga Clan compound.
"Um..." Little Hinata said softly, shyly, and a bit awkwardly, "I'm home now! Thank you, Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun!"
Although—due to various reasons—Hinata's childhood wasn't as rough as in another world (her father didn't dislike her, and the clan didn't look down on her), she was still a naturally shy, bashful little girl who felt quite awkward around others. So she spoke very quietly!
Of course—
"Ohhh~ Hinata's home!" Naruto still heard her and smiled, nodding cheerfully. Then he slung an arm over Sasuke's shoulder. "Now it's just me and Sasuke. By the way, we'll be passing by Uncle Yuto's house—want to go play there for a bit? Uncle Yuto has tons of cool things!"
As he finished—
"Heh~" Sasuke sneered coldly, brushed off Naruto's hand, and said blandly, "Childish."
He still had to go back and train his Uchiha dance skills. Where would he find time to play with this kid?
Besides, his Onii-chan and father had said—
Unless it was necessary, stay away from Uncle Yuto. Otherwise... you will gain weight!
And he really listens to Onii-chan and father!
He turned to head back.
It was getting late—time to train his dancing and taijutsu. That way, when his Onii-chan came back, he wouldn't be disappointed in him.
Naruto, rejected, grumbled a few things but quickly followed. "Damn arrogant Sasuke. What's childish about going to Uncle Yuto's place? It's super fun!"
Hinata, standing to the side, smiled faintly as she watched Naruto and Sasuke walk away. She murmured to herself, "Naruto and Sasuke really have a good relationship."
It seems they've always been together!
However—
Just as the words fell—
"Ahem~"
A cough rang out.
Hinata immediately snapped to attention, seeing her father suddenly standing at the entrance. She quickly bowed and said, "Father!"
Naruto and Sasuke, who had just taken a step forward and then heard the cough, also stopped in their tracks, turned around, and gave a respectful junior's bow. "Clan Leader Hiashi!"
Though one was the youngest son of the Uchiha Clan Leader, and the other the biological son of the Fourth Hokage, etiquette toward elders still had to be polite!
As they finished speaking—
"Mm." Hyuga Hiashi gave a slight nod, glanced at his eldest daughter, then turned to look at Naruto... His eyes narrowed slightly, as if remembering something. He nodded again and said calmly, "As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son, you are very good!"
Good!
Very good!
Extremely good indeed!
Except...
When he saw that little Uzumaki brat start grinning happily—
Hyuga Hiashi crossed his arms, eyes narrowing further, and the corner of his mouth lifted into what looked like a meaningful smile.
Only... for some reason... it made both Naruto and Sasuke start to tremble inwardly.
That gaze was terrifying!
Naruto let out an awkward laugh and said cautiously, "Um... Clan Leader Hiashi, if there's nothing else..."
Before he could finish—
"A future pillar of Konoha, no doubt!" Clan Leader Hiashi added calmly. "I hear the Fourth Hokage has been extremely busy lately, toiling day and night for the sake of the village, returning home only after dark. As a result, since school started, he hasn't had the chance to teach his child any ninjutsu. As a member of Konoha myself, how could I ignore the situation and delay the education of the Hokage's son? No matter what, I should do my part."
"Um, actually, my mom—"
"I happened to see you today, so I'll take this opportunity to tutor you!"
"..."
Can I refuse?
Really!
When I get home, my mom will teach me! If not my mom, the Nine-Tails will teach me!
However—
At that moment—
Little Naruto stared blankly at the Hyuga Clan Leader, who suddenly wanted to tutor him for no reason. "Can I refu—"
"Hmm?" Hyuga Hiashi directly cut him off, casting a cold glare. "Are you looking down on me? Looking down on the Hyuga Clan?"
"..."
I'm not! I swear I'm not!
Beside them... although young Sasuke didn't understand why the Hyuga Clan Leader wanted to tutor Naruto, he could sense something unusual in the air, so he quickly bowed and said, "Sorry, if there's nothing else, I'll just—"
Before he could finish—
Hyuga Hiashi turned his head again, narrowed his eyes at Sasuke, and said calmly, "Uchiha Yuto's nephew?" He paused. "Perfect! Teaching one or two is all the same. You come along too! You're both the future pillars of Konoha!"
"But I still have to go home and practice danc—"
"Hmm? Are you looking down on me? Looking down on the Hyuga Clan?"
"..."
No! No, absolutely not!
"I'll send someone to inform the Fourth Hokage-sama and Clan Leader Fugaku." Seeing the two now well-behaved kids, Hiashi waved his hand, signaling the Hyuga ninja blocking their retreat to step aside. Then... he glanced at the two trembling kids and said flatly, "Let's go! I'll give you proper instruction!"
With that—
He led the two little ones—ears drooped, heads lowered, completely bewildered—
Into the house!
Once inside... a faint, sinister grin appeared—but no one noticed.
