Kakashi doesn't want this money.
Naruto is naturally 100% understandable.
But I heard that it would take another two or three days before we could return to the village.
Naruto was slightly stunned.
"Eh?"
Immediately afterwards, Naruto reacted.
"It's Teacher Hong, are Ya and the others seriously injured?"
Naruto's eyes flashed and he said softly.
"Well, although it's not life-threatening, it's best to rest for two days before returning to the village."
Kakashi nodded and said in response.
"Well, I understand."
"Then Naruto, since you are back, please go in and take a rest first, and then I will go take a look around."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."
Afterwards, Kakashi's figure left here and headed towards the location around Land of Waves. Although all the previous enemies had been eliminated, we still had to be a little more careful. The reason why Kakashi had to wait until Naruto came back was naturally because there were a lot of wounded people in the room now, and two people were seriously injured - Kurenai Yuhi and Kiba Inuzuka, two people were slightly injured, and Shino and Sasuke were also almost depleted of chakra. They both need a good rest. Only the two females Ninja, Sakura and Hinata, have maintained relatively complete combat power. However, as you all know, the combat power of these two girls is still slightly lower.
When Naruto has not returned.
Kakashi dare not leave here casually.
And after Kakashi leaves.
Naruto also stepped forward, opened the door and walked in.
Turn a corner.
What we arrived at was the hall of Tazuna's home.
At this moment, Hinata and Sakura are sitting in the hall.
When the two heard the noise coming from behind, they turned around. The moment they saw Naruto, both of them had a look of joy on their faces.
"Naruto!"
"Naruto-kun."
Hinata's eyes even showed a hint of worry.
Not worried about the safety of Naruto.
It was the scene where Naruto killed those people before.
It really scared Hinata.
Although Hinata also knows that those people are basically not good people.
But Naruto's merciless killing gesture gave Hinata a huge psychological impact.
"Yo, Hinata, Sakura."
Naruto also waved and said with a smile.
Because I know that Hinata is still very shy, and Naruto can see through a hint of the meaning in Hinata's eyes.
Naruto naturally chose a location with a moderate distance and sat down.
"Naruto, what did you do just now? Kakashi-sensei actually said you went hunting?"
As soon as Naruto sat down, Sakura, who was facing him, couldn't help but ask.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand gently.
"Let's not talk about this for now. How are Teacher Hong, Sasuke and the others? Are they okay?"
Naruto leaned forward slightly and asked with a serious expression.
"Oh? Well, it doesn't matter, Naruto, you don't have to worry. Sasuke and Shino are only slightly injured. Teacher Hong and Yagang have also changed their dressings. They are all resting inside now. According to Kakashi-sensei, we estimate that we will have to stay here for two more days before going back."
Sakura spoke directly and returned. What he said was similar to what Kakashi said before.
"You two weren't hurt, were you?"
Naruto nodded slightly, then looked at Sakura and Hinata with concerned eyes.
Although it is probably known that the two of them were not injured.
But basic care is still necessary.
"Ah, the two of us have nothing to do. We basically didn't participate in the battle."
"We're fine, Naruto-kun."
Hinata was still speaking softly. Facing Naruto's extremely sincere and caring gaze, his cheeks were still involuntarily stained with a rosy color. He lowered his head gently and said in response.
"It's you, Naruto. You just defeated such a powerful Ninja. I heard Teacher Hong and the others said it was a Jonin, right? You weren't injured, were you?"
Sakura looked straight at Naruto, half wanting to get to know his teammate again, and half saying this with a worried expression.
The raised eyes of Hinata on the side also showed a look of concern.
Looking into their caring eyes.
Naruto's expression also became softer and softer.
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the chakra was consumed a little more. The injuries I suffered before were all superficial injuries. I have already taken care of them myself, so don't worry."
Naruto replied gently, and the last sentence inadvertently glanced at Hinata on the left, which was a pun.
Hinata, who has a wise heart like orchid, immediately understood the hidden meaning of Naruto's words. With so many eyes on each other, and looking at Naruto's warm eyes as usual, Hinata felt relieved, and the previous worries completely dissipated.
'Naruto-kun is still the same Naruto-kun...'
Hinata was thinking silently in his heart.
Sakura, who was on the sidelines, noticed something.
"Ahem"
Those words coughed softly.
Hinata was like a frightened little rabbit. When he noticed Sakura's thoughtful gaze on the side, Hinata's cheeks turned red. White air came out of his head. Hinata lowered his head shyly, with his chin almost touching his chest.
The soft color in Naruto's pupils became more intense.
Sakura also shook his head secretly in his heart.
"As expected."
Because I know Hinata is thin-skinned.
Sakura will not continue teasing you.
Instead, he shifted his attention to Naruto.
Moving on to the topic just now.
"So, Naruto, where are you going? What does Kakashi-sensei mean by hunting?"
"Ah? Well, you'll find out in the evening, Sakura."
Naruto smiled softly and avoided the question for the time being. Anyway, we have to wait until everyone is present to 'divide the spoils'. Besides, Naruto didn't intend to say some details in front of Hinata, although Naruto knows very well that his future is bound to take a dark road, but at least for now, Naruto hopes that in Hinata's heart, he is still the Naruto that this girl thinks. As for what the future will be like?
That's not what Naruto could have expected.
Naruto can only say that he will fight hard in the future.
Try to overturn the heavy responsibility of fate as much as possible.
Fight for the future you want.
That's all.
And since Naruto said so.
Sakura naturally will not continue to ask questions.
Wait until night.
After Tazuna comes back.
This dinner was really more sumptuous than any previous one.
In the words of Tazuna, it's time to celebrate.
Especially after Tazuna confirmed the death of Gato from Naruto again in a roundabout way.
That dancing look.
It's like having a second spring.
During the dining room.
Tazuna's grandson, that is, Inari, looked at Naruto with bright eyes.
A dream that I once thought was impossible to achieve.
I think heroes don't exist.
But in just these few days.
The hero appears.
This is a very impactful fact for the young Inari.
at this moment.
Even though it is very different from the original work.
But Naruto still became Inari's hero.
