"Ah la ah la~"
Hanabi interrupted Naruto's thoughts. Her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and her smile became brighter and brighter.
She stretched out Left Hand and took the initiative to take Naruto's hand that was rubbing her head but had not yet had time to completely retract it. The small hand was warm and soft, but with undeniable strength.
"I already knew it!"
Hanabi raised her little face, but what she said made Naruto's heart skip a beat.
"I know Naruto brother, you have a little desire to 'want it all'~"
"I can continue to help you! But the premise is that brother Naruto must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, he will protect me just like he protects Older Sister! And... always be good to me!"
There was attachment in her tone. Brother Naruto was a very important person in her and Older Sister's lives, but she also wanted a promise that was exclusive to her.
Do you think Hiashi has raised Hanabi well without raising Hinata?
Don't be kidding, he actually behaves the same way towards Two Daughters.
Hanabi is just better than Hinata.
Hiashi also treats Hanabi very harshly in training, and rarely accompanies and encourages her in daily life. (In the original work, when Chunin Ninja Exams was Hiashi, even Kurenai Yuhi couldn't stand Kurenai Yuhi's strict training requirements for Hanabi.)
Hiashi seemed to trust Naruto, so he was relieved to let Two Daughters train and play with Naruto later, but in fact there was no other way.
Especially after Naruto became Hokage, Hiashi became even more useless.
In the past, Two Daughters was trained so that they would have the strength to survive after becoming Ninja. Now Shinobi World is almost unified, and their future partner is the number one Ninja in the world who will completely end the troubled times.
There is nothing to talk about in terms of safety.
Hyuga Clan and Haruno Clan are both relatively typical East Asian families.
In fact, compared to Sakura's mother, Hiashi is still very good.
He provided a generous family background and asked Two Daughters to train harder so that they could assume the obligations brought about by their enjoyment of rights in the future, that is, to support Hyuga Clan.
While Sakura's family has a modest background, they also have more requirements.
The conflict between Sakura and Parents is complicated.
Both parties undoubtedly love each other, but the ways and expectations of expressing love create huge conflicts.
Especially when the mother rationalizes her controlling behavior by repeatedly saying, "I'm doing this for you."
Naruto puts himself in his shoes and thinks about it, how would he react if he heard someone keep telling him, "I'm doing this all for you", and using this to interfere with his choices and deny his feelings?
Will it be less popular?
Of course!
Even very disgusting!
Because this is essentially a manifestation of emotional kidnapping and power inequality.
It deprives the loved one of his subjectivity and right to choose, turning love into a heavy burden and a reason to obey.
This is why sometimes there is a seemingly contradictory phenomenon like "the more you 'love' me, the more I hate you."
Because when love loses respect as its cornerstone, when love becomes an excuse for control and restraint, it no longer brings warmth, but pressure and pain.
It is precisely because he is uncomfortable at home that Hanabi is more willing to stick to Naruto.
In the past, when Naruto went out to do tasks, Hanabi would also go to Naruto's house to clean up the room, and then spend time after school at Naruto's house.
The time spent after school at Naruto's home was a rare moment of respite for her.
There was no instruction from her father, no eyes from her tribe, only the reassuring aura belonging to Naruto surrounding her.
If home is a warm haven, then she doesn't need to go outside to take shelter from the rain.
She clings to Naruto not only because she likes him, but also because by his side, she can feel the long-lost relaxation, freedom and peace of mind of being completely accepted as belonging to "home".
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Naruto took out his hand, then grabbed Hanabi's right hand and hooked with her.
Two Golden Chakra arms stretched out from his back to handle the ingredients on the stove.
Naruto leaned forward slightly, so that his eyes were level with Hanabi's white eyes that were slightly widened in surprise.
"I will definitely always treat you well!"
If a middle-aged uncle with black hair Byakugan stood in front of you, you might feel uncomfortable, but an obedient and cute little girl with black hair and white eyes... what the girl said, "No matter what happens in the future, you must protect me just like you protect Older Sister! And... always be good to me!"
What's more, the other person used to always follow you around and call you brother or eldest brother.
Naruto can't refuse it no matter what.
So cute.
"Found it."
After a long period of Sensing tracking and careful investigation, Otsutsuki Toneri finally located an existence that was incompatible with the surrounding environment on the edge of this large-scale lunar ruins group.
It was a two-story wooden house, in sharp contrast to the surrounding ruins buildings built of huge stones, covered with gray vines, and full of traces of ancient times.
It stood abruptly in a relatively flat open space, as if a visitor from another world had barged into this time and space that had been silent for thousands of years.
"It's really outrageous," Toneri said with a cold look on his face, "A house has been built here? Are you planning to live here forever?"
To be able to build such a fully functional house in such a short period of time, in the desolate environment of the moon and lacking conventional building materials, there are only two possibilities: either a large number of Craftsmen who are proficient in construction come here, with sufficient prefabricated materials; or the people who come here are Ninja who know how to specially build Ninjutsu.
Considering the particularity and secrecy of the lunar passage, the latter is obviously more likely.
What made Toneri even more puzzled was that he looked around and found no trace of any vegetation being cut down.
There are very few plants on the moon, and most of them are gray or dull in color, which is completely different from the wood used in that house.
"It's really strange."
Toneri was even more confused, "Then where did these wood... come from? Could it be that they were brought here from Shinobi World?"
"We have to figure out their purpose and... how they got here."
Toneri quickly made a decision in his mind.
He no longer hesitated to mobilize the power of Giant Tenseigan at the core of the moon.
A huge stream of Chakra flows through his Puppet body, which is made of special materials and can carry the power of Tenseigan, instantly improving its various performances.
He controlled this Puppet body with "eyes", like a ghost under the moon, approaching the wooden house silently but very quickly.
