When Seventh Naruto, Tsunade, and Jiraiya met up with Hinata, who had gone to meet them in advance, and arrived at the Hyuga Clan's residence, they saw a somewhat peculiar picture.
In the spacious living room, on the soft carpet, Boruto and Sarada were sitting next to each other, concentrating on studying a portion of Scroll spread out in front of them.
The two of them sometimes discussed in a low voice, and sometimes used their fingers to make gestures on Scroll, with focused expressions on their faces, obviously delving into something important.
On the other side, Kawaki was sitting cross-legged on the carpet in front of the huge LCD Screen, holding the handle tightly in his hand. His face, which was usually stern, was now flushed, and even tiny beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
He pursed his lips tightly, stared at the screen, and pressed his fingers quickly on the handle. He was obviously immersed in an intense game.
Otohime, sitting on his right, looked completely different.
She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa leisurely with her bare feet, holding a handle in her hand, but her movements seemed to be done with ease, even a little carelessly.
Her pair of Golden-Silver Rinnegan were not even fully focused on the screen, with a proud smile on her lips, and from time to time she would make disdainful sounds such as "Humph" and "That's all."
The battle situation was obviously one-sided, and Kawaki was completely suppressed.
And this Young Naruto is obviously very red-temperature.
Hanabi is sitting on the sofa a little further away, with his lovely niece Himawari in his arms, Left Hand is holding Little Hinata, and Little Hanabi is in his right hand.
With a gentle smile on her face, she was telling stories to three little Girls in a soft voice, or answering their questions, acting like a gentle and amiable elder Older Sister who takes care of her younger sister.
I don't know who I should envy for a moment.
What surprised them the most was the tempting aroma of food coming from the direction of the kitchen, and the figure of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Young Naruto wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
He handled the ingredients skillfully, stirring, stir-frying, and seasoning all in one go.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him through the window, coating him with a Golden halo.
He had a focused and peaceful expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was enjoying the cooking process.
Sunny, cheerful and energetic, this is the first impression Young Naruto gave Tsunade and Jiraiya.
"You are here."
Young Naruto heard the movement at the door and said without looking back, with a clear voice.
He turned off the fire, put the last dish on the plate, then turned around, wiped his hands with his apron, and looked at the door.
When his eyes swept over Tsunade and Jiraiya, he nodded towards them.
"Oh? Jiraiya Senior, and Tsunade Senior are here too. Welcome."
Hearing the "Naruto" in front of him call himself "Jiraiya Senior", Jiraiya understood in his heart.
It seems that in that world, I am not the master of Young Naruto Hokage in front of me.
This slightly distant yet respectful title also confirms this point.
"Ah, you are so young and promising!"
Jiraiya quickly adjusted his mentality, with a somewhat generous and appreciative smile on his face, and with a familiar look, Tsunade walked into the kitchen and greeted Young Naruto.
He looked Young Naruto up and down, the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
So young, but already the shadow of a village, even unified Shinobi World?
"I really want to know, am I also very powerful in your world?"
Jiraiya asked half curiously and half expectantly.
He wanted to know what kind of life path he would have taken before becoming the teacher Young Naruto in Another Timeline.
"Yeah, that's great."
Young Naruto nodded, his tone affirmative.
"The Jiraiya Senior of my world was recommended by Third Hokage after the end of Chunin Ninja Exams. With the recognition of Daimyo and Konoha residents, he became Fifth Hokage."
Although he retired early after being ignored by himself, that was also the wish of Jiraiya in his own world.
He never wanted to be Fifth Hokage from the beginning, and it was already difficult for him to quit after working as Hokage for a while.
"Fifth Hokage?"
Jiraiya and Tsunade showed surprised expressions at the same time.
Especially Tsunade, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes,
Jiraiya from another world actually became Hokage?
What about yourself?
"However, I don't have many interactions with Fifth Hokage, and I don't know him very well."
Young Naruto added with a calm tone, as if he was talking about something that had little to do with him.
"Shortly after I became Ninja, I left Konoha because of some things. When I returned, because I didn't want him to bear the reputation of starting a war, I convened Five Kage Summit and became Sixth Hokage."
The Five Kage Summit mentioned by Young Naruto does not refer to the meeting between the five countries, but the small meeting held by First, Second Hokage, Third, Fourth Hokage and Fifth Hokage plus him.
"Does that mean you announced the start of the Shinobi World war on Five Kage Summit?"
"You could say that."
Jiraiya touched his chin, and then asked, "Then who is your teacher?"
"I don't have a formal apprenticeship."
Young Naruto shook his head, "However, my guide Jonin is Kakashi-sensei. Under his leadership, I also learned a lot."
"Kakashi?" Jiraiya looked surprised. He naturally recognized Kakashi's strength and teaching level. Copy Ninja's name was not for nothing.
However, according to the information Seventh revealed to him on the road, the powerful Ninjutsu used by the Young Naruto Sixth in front of him seems to have nothing to do with the Ninjutsu system of Kakashi!
"Then those Ninjutsu of yours..."
Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Who did you learn this from?"
"Those..."
Young Naruto smiled, with a hint of humility in his smile, but his eyes were calm.
"Most of them are just my own groping or trophies obtained from enemies. They are not worth mentioning."
Fumbling blindly? Not worth mentioning?
Tsunade on the side heard this and couldn't help curling his lips, secretly complaining in his heart: Wood Release is not worth mentioning? Then what else Shinobi World can catch your eye?
Although she has never seen her grandfather exert his power, the power of First Hokage Hashirama Senju Wood Release is enough to calm the troubled times and is called "God of Shinobi".
The Young Naruto in front of me is an understatement of "not worth mentioning". He is either overly modest about his abilities, or his vision has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Young Naruto didn't seem to notice Tsunade's expression, or rather he didn't care.
He took off his apron and said, "The food is ready. Let's eat first. Let's chat while eating."
The aroma of food filled the air, mixed with the sounds of games in the living room, the whispers of discussions, and the chuckles of the little Girls, forming a strange and warm scene of a family dinner across time and space.
Jiraiya looked at Young Naruto who was busy serving the dishes, then looked at Kawaki next to him who had a warm face but refused to admit defeat at all, Boruto and who were studying seriously Sarada, Hanabi who take care of the children tenderly, and Seventh and Hinata who stand at the door and watch all this with gentle smiles in their eyes...
He suddenly felt that although this Young Naruto from another world was incredibly powerful and seemed to have many secrets hidden in him, at least at this moment, he was so natural and peaceful.
Perhaps, things are not as complicated as Seventh feared?
Jiraiya thought to himself.
But then, he shook his head. As a veteran Ninja who has experienced countless ups and downs, he knew it very well.
Beneath the surface calm, there are often undercurrents.
But he was very satisfied to be able to come back and marry Tsunade and see Naruto's children.
