Chapter 121 Long-lost meeting (for subscription)
Like an ordinary office worker, when he got home, Ryosuke took a hot bath first.
But after he came out, he didn't go back to his room to sleep, and he didn't immediately talk to Hyuga Hiashi about the trip.
Instead, he sat in the corridor of the courtyard, looking lazily at the position of the door.
As he waited for dinner to begin, he waited for... his wife.
She is almost here.
Although he didn't start to perceive, Ryosuke knew that she was coming back soon based on his usual understanding of Hinata.
"Hanabi, won't you come out and greet your sister?"
Turning around suspiciously, Ryosuke looked at Hanabi who was silently helping housekeeper A Liang to pack the tableware in the room, "Didn't you always like to wait for Hinata in the courtyard before school?"
Today's Hanabi doesn't seem to be in a very high mood.
In the past, she would have sat across from him, staring at him, and blaming him for stealing Hinata's favor.
In the room, Hanabi turned his head and glanced at him, hesitating for a moment Kaidō: "... You finally returned from a mission today, so I'll give my sister to you for a day."
While speaking, she turned her head quickly.
It seems that all the attention is placed on the dinner plates in front of him.
Ryosuke fell silent and didn't ask any more questions, but turned his head and continued to look at the door.
Although Hanabi's words gave people a feeling of arrogance, but Ryosuke did not hear the high spirits in her tone, but there was a feeling of... loneliness.
Before he could think about it, a figure appeared at the door of the house.
Her long lavender hair was draped over her shoulders wantonly, and her bangs covered her thin eyebrows.
Although the pure and flawless eyes are pure, they faintly reveal a bit of noble temperament, and the face that originally had a little baby fat has also lost weight during this period of time since I haven't seen it.
The superiority of Hyuga's blood gives Hinata a milk-like skin.
Under the red sunset glow, she stood at the door, looking a bit luxurious.
Wearing a loose, pure white kimono, the moment Hinata saw Ryosuke, the corners of her lips curled up, and there were no other people in her eyes. She walked step by step, and finally jumped and hung on Ryosuke body.
"Ryosuke, you're finally back."
A soft and waxy voice sounded.
As always, the words seem to be the scene of Ryosuke's return from the previous two trips.
But compared to the previous two times when Ryosuke came back, Hinata this time with deep miss and dependence, and even...a little grievance.
"Has grown tall."
Ryosuke smiled softly, stood up and stretched out his hands to hug his rushing wife into his arms.
Although it was in front of the housekeeper and sister-in-law, he didn't feel inappropriate at all.
With a light touch, Ryosuke knew that Hinata's recent training intensity had increased again.
Not only are the muscles stiff, but even the meridians are slightly damaged.
He doesn't know how to care about a person sincerely, but he feels that keeping an eye on their physical condition is the best way to care.
Feeling a palm like a fish, searching for something through the clothes, Hinata blushed a little, as if remembering something.
His heart was beating wildly, and even his body temperature was rising rapidly.
But soon, she remembered her husband's temperament again, and her mood eased, "I... I have to pay attention to rest."
"Liar, your body can't lie to me."
Ryosuke pinched her cheek lightly, as a punishment for lying, "Obviously you promised me before departure, you should also pay attention to rest after exercising, and take Hanabi out to play more."
really.
Hinata sighed in her heart, she always felt that her husband's attention was a little different from that of ordinary boys in some aspects.
"I have a good rest, and occasionally go out with Hanabi, but..."
She was about to explain aloud, but in the middle of speaking, she stopped suddenly, "Father... where is father?"
Hinata looked at Ryosuke and asked.
"Father said he won't eat dinner, he has something to do."
Ryosuke replied casually, "However...he asked us to go to the study to start a family meeting after dinner, mainly for the tasks I left recently, and some for the next plan."
"What's the matter? Suddenly asked about my father, don't you meet every day?"
"nothing……"
Hinata fell silent, nodded and took a step back from Ryosuke's arms.
At this time, Ryosuke also had the opportunity to observe her changes closely.
Perhaps it was the pressure that caused Hinata to grow rapidly, and her height changed.
Even in terms of temperament, he is far more mature than before leaving.
Although when we met just now, Hinata acted a little naive, like a child.
But in fact, she has changed.
In the past, Hinata was essentially a child pretending to be an adult, but now, she has slowly begun to have some adult commitment and tolerance.
Like just now, from some subtle movements, Ryosuke can see that although she is still dependent on herself, she has begun to learn to face some things by herself and has the courage to face them.
It seemed that something had happened in this family while he was away.
From Hanabi's emotions, and Hinata's words, Ryosuke roughly judged something.
But he still didn't ask too much, after all, there are some things that Hinata needs to face by himself.
He... can only be used as a guide and support, otherwise she would not have grown up.
During dinner, Hyuga Hiashi did not participate as expected.
The relationship between the two sisters Hanabi and Hinata is the same as before.
Looks like nothing has changed.
thump thump——
After dinner, after a short rest, Ryosuke and Hinata came to the door of the study.
"Come in."
Hyuga Hiashi's voice came from inside.
Open the door of the study, everything inside is still the same as before, there is no difference.
"Father."
Ryosuke shouted respectfully.
And then, Hinata waited for a while before speaking with him.
"You guys... sit down first."
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hinata first, and then shifted his gaze to Ryosuke indistinctly, "Tell me about your departure this time, what happened, and...your personal opinion."
Cut to the chase, but also exactly what Ryosuke meant.
He briefly summarized what he encountered during this trip.
Immediately afterwards, he focused on some more subtle content, such as the attitude of the major forces within the alliance, and the subsequent impact of the defeat of external forces such as the Fourth Raikage.
"So... do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen will start the Fifth Hokage election ceremony after returning to the village?"
After Hyuga Hiashi heard Ryosuke's story, he didn't care about the "little things" such as alliances or external forces that could bring them benefits.
Instead, it directly pointed out the possible psychological changes of Third Hokage after losing the battle with Fourth Raikage.
Now that the alliance has been reached, there will be no disputes in the ninja world for the time being. This is Hyuga's biggest gain.
This time, Ryosuke has bought enough time for himself to grow. This is the big meat that their family wants. As for the so-called division of interests, they are just leftovers.
Hyuga Hiashi cares more about things like Sarutobi Hiruzen than those, which might affect them.
"If nothing else."
Ryosuke answered truthfully according to his own considerations along the way, "He obviously has the idea of retiring, maybe he had such an idea before, especially some of his policies and strategic arrangements in recent years, all Started to look weak."
"This shows that Sarutobi Hiruzen is very aware that his ability is not as good as that of a man in his prime. He doesn't want to make any mistakes or omissions in his political achievements in the last few years, which will leave Ten Thousand Years in bad taste."
"Then do you think there will be any candidates for the Fifth Hokage?"
Hyuga Hiashi asked again.
And Hinata sat aside, taking down all the meeting content quietly as before.
"First of all, of course, Tsunade and Jiraiya, two long-established figures." Ryosuke nodded, expressing his opinion, "These two seniors are well-known in the ninja world, and they are both apprentices of Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"Whether it's seniority or strength, if you are the fifth hokage, no one in the village will disagree except that guy."
"But the two of them seem to be very resistant to the position of Hokage, so it is not ruled out that Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot recall them."
Nodding silently, Hyuga Hiashi didn't bother him, motioning him to continue talking.
"Then, there is the younger generation, namely Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, and Nara Shikahisa."
"It goes without saying that Hatake Kakashi is capable and famous enough to serve as Hokage, but he lacks in qualifications and has some bad mission records."
"As for Sarutobi Asuma, although he himself has no idea of becoming a Hokage, he is the son of Sarutobi after all, and has experience in guarding ninjas in the Daimyo Prefecture. In addition to his strength and ideas, he is also qualified to be the Fifth Hokage. "
"Finally, among the younger generation, I think Nara is most likely to become the Fifth Generation."
"Nara Lujiu himself served as a military adviser in Konoha, and he has also had a lot of experience in handling government affairs over the years. His qualifications and abilities are obvious to all. His only shortcoming may be that he is from the Ino–Shika–Chō clan, but this One point can be made up for, as long as he thinks about it..."
Although the same era as Sarutobi Hiruzen, or people who are similar to him are excluded, there are actually quite a few people in the village who have the opportunity to sit in the position of Hokage.
Many Jōnin in the village have their own advantages in terms of ability, fame, and seniority.
Wanting to choose the best from these people, Ryosuke felt that what Sarutobi Hiruzen valued more should be some ideological things, which is the so-called political review.
After quietly listening to Ryosuke's narration, Hyuga Hiashi made a conclusion, "Then, no matter whether Sarutobi Hiruzen has the idea of nominating a new Hokage or not, our family only needs to maintain a wait-and-see attitude and support his choice at the right time. gone."
"But if this thing really happens, I don't think that guy will continue to hide in the dark, he may take action."
"Indeed, that guy is very attached to Hokage's position."
Speaking of that guy, Ryosuke also felt a little troublesome.
It stands to reason that Shimura Danzō, who should have been working on Sharingan research for some time now, started to pile some weird things on himself.
Although in the original timeline, he only successfully transplanted ten Sharingan.
But now that the timeline has changed, Ryosuke is not sure if he will still have ten arms, maybe more than ten, or possibly fewer.
As long as there is enough Sharingan consumed, the vitality of Shimura Danzō is comparable to that of Hercules in mythology.
Hercules' Noble Phantasm is the "Twelve Trials" of immortality, which means that if he is not killed twelve times, he will not be destroyed.
And Shimura Danzō has Izanaki, who can consume the Sharingan with sufficient pupil power, directly reversing unfavorable factors including death.
Ryosuke has not yet completely crushed this guy's strength, and it is still troublesome to deal with it.
"All in all, let's wait and see what happens."
When Hyuga Hiashi mentioned Shimura Danzō, he obviously had a headache, "Now this guy's attention is not on us, at least... From the information we have collected so far, he doesn't seem to have any thoughts about our family, and of course there is Caged Bird... ..."
At the mention of this word, he stopped abruptly.
The originally serious discussion atmosphere in the study suddenly stopped.
"There is also the influence of the curse seal. People of our family are still safe."
After a long time, Hyuga Hiashi spoke again and finished speaking.
"Is that so..."
Ryosuke nodded, as if he didn't feel the weird atmosphere just now.
"Regarding the matter of the Kingdom of Waves, let's stop here for the time being."
Hyuga Hiashi also quickly avoided the topic, "Now let's talk about what happened in the village during the time you left. There is one more important thing, and I need to synchronize with you."
important things……
Ryosuke raised his head in doubt, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others are gone, is there anything important happening in the village?
"The person involved in the matter is Uzumaki Naruto, who is an orphan of the Fourth Generation and also a Nine Tails Jinchūriki."
Hyuga Hiashi took out a scroll from the desk and handed it to Ryosuke, "Because it involves Jinchūriki as a weapon of war, the internal information is kept secret."
"This is an announcement only from Konoha's senior management, and the intelligence chain within our family can only get a little information."
"The specific situation is that during the execution of a recent A-level mission, the ninja team led by Jōnin Hatake Kakashi was attacked by some Cloud Shinobi ninjas."
"During the attack, Genin Sarutobi Rin died in order to cover the team's departure."
"Then... the Nine Tails Jinchūriki went berserk, beheading most of the Cloud Shinobi ninjas with almost crushing strength. Specifically, our intelligence chain has not received definite information about the strength of Cloud Shinobi."
"But the enemy team has at least one Jōnin, after all Hatake Kakashi is not so easy to fool."
"The attack of Cloud Shinobi?"
Ryosuke frowned, "When is the specific time period?"
"About six days ago, Kakashi rushed back to the territory of the Land of Fire at full speed, carrying the two seriously injured subordinates alone, and then returned to the village under the protection of Konoha Shinobi."
Hyuga Hiashi quickly Kaidō, "Except for the battle record report, other information is not secret, so we got very accurate information. As for the sacrificed Sarutobi Rin, his body could not be brought back."
Thanks to book friends who seldom use this, Wind Bard H for their support.
