Konoha, Uzumaki Residence.
Compared with Naruto Uzumaki, who was busy working in the outside world and fighting wits and courage with the dead souls of thousands of years, there is a completely different atmosphere permeating the interior of Konoha at this moment.
The clouds of war seem to be fading away.
Under the strong hand of Sixth Hokage, a prospect of peace similar to that created by Konoha seems to have arrived, leaving the whole village immersed in a cautious joy and expectation.
In Courtyard, which is neat and warm at Uzumaki House, the atmosphere is a bit subtle.
Hinata Hyuga, Hanabi Hyuga, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Karin, and Uchiha Hikari, six girls with different styles but all have a deep bond with a certain Blond-Haired Boy, sitting around Stone Table in the center of Courtyard.
The sun casts mottled light and shadow through the branches and leaves, falling on them, and also on the neatly folded piece of clothing in the center of Stone Table.
That is a pure white Hokage Robe.
The style is obviously a reference to Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's famous Shinobi World Hokage Robe, but the details are different. The words Sixth Hokage are embroidered on the back. The fabric has a delicate luster in the sun, and there are faint traces of Chakra Threads being woven into it. It is obviously not extraordinary.
This is Sixth Hokage, officially Hokage Robe, which was sewn by Naruto, stitch by stitch, by several of them through private discussion and their own efforts.
Naruto has not yet held a formal succession ceremony for Hokage.
He once told Hanabi that he would wear this Hokage Robe to hold the Hokage succession ceremony after the war, announcing to the entire Shinobi World the end of the old era and the beginning of New Era.
And this dress undoubtedly carries their blessings for him.
Naruto is no longer alone.
However, at this moment, the girls' thoughts are obviously not entirely on this Hokage Robe.
While Naruto had not returned from his trip, several Girl gathered together. In addition to communicating about their current situation and sharing their worries and thoughts about Naruto, they were also having a discussion.
The atmosphere was a bit subtle, and there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent flowing in the air.
Just like the heroes of Liangshan have to arrange their seats after a reunion, Ino and Hinata also need to arrange their seats.
Of course it was not for rebellion, but a confrontation driven by their competitiveness.
It seems that in their eyes, this small circle that is closely connected because of Naruto also needs a tacit "order".
Of course, they all know that this is by no means a competition for favor or hierarchy, but more like a kind of coordination between Girl wives in advance for the sake of closer coexistence in the future.
"How about..."
Hanabi Hyuga, the youngest and usually the object of everyone's care, rolled his eyes and broke the brief silence.
She suggested. "Should we arrange them by age?"
She flashed her pair of pure Byakugan with an innocent smile on her face, as if she just mentioned the fairest and simplest way casually.
What bad intentions can Hanabi have?
She was just curious, curious about who among the Older Sisters was the "penultimate" apart from herself, who was undoubtedly "Youngest Sister".
This kind of curiosity with a bit of mischievous mentality made her find it very interesting.
As soon as the proposal came out, several other people had different expressions.
Hinata blushed slightly and pinched the corners of his clothes subconsciously.
She was born on December 27th, and should be considered the youngest except Hanabi.
Sakura raised his eyebrows, seeming to think that although this method was straightforward, it was feasible.
My birthday is March 28th, and Ino's is September 23rd, so be sure to eat Ino!
Ino held his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.
Karin pushed up his glasses. His birthday is June 20th, which is considered to be in the middle of the year.
Uchiha Hikari, who had his arms folded in front of his chest and always looked a bit indifferent as a bystander, spoke expressionlessly after hearing the suggestion "according to age."
Her voice was clear and crisp, but with a kind of plainness that was completely different from the other girls present:
"I am from Warring States Period."
She paused, as if she was recalling something, or relaying the information Naruto told her.
"I heard from Naruto that the time before I was sealed was probably two hundred years ago."
She raised her eyes and calmly scanned the stunned crowd, then added the most crucial sentence:
"In other words, I am over two hundred years old."
"..."
Courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Hinata's hand holding the hem of clothes froze, Sakura's raised eyebrows were frozen in mid-air, Ino's hand holding his chin slipped down, Karin's movement of pushing the glasses got stuck. Even the proposer Little Hanabi's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, enough to stuff a Rice Dumpling.
Not...
Sisters?!
Two... more than two hundred years old?
This number was like a thunderbolt, striking the hearts of the girls who were still carefully calculating "I am half a year older than her" and "She should be several months younger than her".
The way they looked at Uchiha Hikari instantly changed from looking at their peers to looking at a living fossil.
Or in other words, a time traveler from the distant past with the appearance of a girl?
Warring States Period... two hundred years...
This age gap can no longer be described by Older Sister and his sister. Even Grandmother and his granddaughter are not enough.
This age gap spans countless generations!
Arranged by age?
Do you still need to arrange it?
Just one person can add up the ages of everyone else.
This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Little Hanabi blinked, looked at Guang's delicate face that looked about the same age as his own Older Sister, and then looked at the petrified expressions of the other Older Sisters, and suddenly burst out laughing, breaking the solid atmosphere.
"Older Sister It's a foul at your age!"
Several other people also came to their senses one after another, and their expressions became extremely exciting.
The plan of sorting by age was completely declared bankrupt before it even started when Uchiha Hikari said "more than two hundred years old" in an understatement.
So, what to do next?
Should we go straight down the list after admitting it, or should we re-arrange it in the order of knowing Naruto?
Otohime, who put down the handle in the room, sighed.
If we talk about age, the combined ages of these little girls outside may not match her age even if they are doubled several times.
Wait!
Why would she compete with them?
She doesn't like that bastard Naruto Uzumaki!
"You're a big bastard who uses people to face the front and not people to face the back! Why did you run out again? I really want to eat Thunder Burger!"
Karin doesn't know what that is, hmm~ Why didn't that big bastard teach Karin a lesson before he left!"
"Then let's meet Zhen Zhang under my command!"
Uchiha Hikari looked down at the crowd, confident that she could challenge them all by herself.
If I hadn't been unable to defeat that guy Naruto, I would have knocked him unconscious and locked him up in the basement. Why would there be any need to play house with them here?
Are you kidding me, fighting Uchiha Hikari?
The women looked at each other, but they had all heard about how powerful Uchiha Hikari was.
And Otohime is a bright spot.
Yossi!
There was a good show to watch.
