Naruto: Favorability System

Chapter 22: Future Plans



Lying on the hospital bed, eating the fruit fed by Hinata, Naruto enjoyed the leisure time at this moment.

In his previous life, he was single and never enjoyed the care of a girl.

With the help of malicious perception, Naruto began to ask Hinata about what happened in the past few days after the Third Hokage and Kakashi left the hospital.

Listening to Hinata's hesitant answer, Naruto gradually frowned.

Despite his intervention, the Kumogakure envoy incident still happened.

It's just that this time the leader of Kumogakure's envoy took away not Hinata, but Hinata's younger sister, Hanabi, who was less than one year old, and the following plot was exactly the same as he remembered.

In order to save his daughter, Hyuga Hiashi killed the culprit, and was questioned by the Kumogakure's envoy.

In the end, under the pressure of the village and high-level officials, the Hyuga clan was forced to hand over Hiashi's younger brother Hizashi as a scapegoat.

Hizashi became a victim for the peace treaty between the two countries to succeed.

Naruto is not a member of Hyuga, and he doesn't want to comment on the caged bird system.

But the performance of the Third Hokage made him extremely disappointed.

He learned from Nine Tails that the ninja who entangled Anbu that day was none other than a member of Kumogakure's envoy.

This shows that Kumogakure also has the idea of ​capturing him.

When the Hyuga clan and Jinchuriki were threatened one after another, the Third Hokage chose to compromise.

'Isn't he afraid of being scolded by the ninjas in the village for being cowardly?

Or is the general public looking forward to a false peace in exchange for this situation?'

Thinking in another way, Naruto felt that Konoha lost the dignity of being the No.1 Ninja Village.

Withdrawing his gradually diverging thoughts, Naruto looked at the shy Hinata.

"Hinata, your sister was just kidnapped, did you forget what I said before, and you sneaked out again."

Hinata shook her head, with a firm tone, "That's not the case... I have my father's permission. After finishing my homework, I can control my time freely, as long as I go back before dark."

Looking at Hinata who was no longer hesitating, but was still a little shy, Naruto smiled from the bottom of his heart.

'The Hyuga family protects the clan members very well, but Hinata's father is able to allow Hinata to go out, and it seems that he has guessed my true identity.'

'Is this a counterattack against the Third Hokage after Hyuga Hiashi was forced to hand over his younger brother?'

The relaxing time passed quickly. Naruto and Hinata chatted a lot, but they still had to separate after all.

After watching Hinata leave under the protection of the Hyuga family's guards, there was only one person and one fox left in the ward.

Naruto picked up a few ninjutsu scrolls left by the Third Hokage, which recorded several C-level wind escape ninjutsus and related training methods.

It covers various utilization methods of wind attribute chakra, and it is the most comprehensive wind escape ninjutsu that he has encountered so far.

In terms of ninja training, the Third Hokage has never been stingy to him, but these wind escape ninjutsu feel inferior.

He prefers simple and rough crushing to fancy tricks.

He put down the scroll of wind escape.

Although Naruto is eager to improve his strength, naturally the place of practice cannot be the hospital.

In the afternoon, the Third Hokage reappeared in the ward.

After confirming that Naruto had fully recovered, the Third Hokage went through the discharge procedures and sent him a key.

The room where Naruto lived before is no longer suitable for human habitation, and is being repaired urgently.

After moving to the new home, Naruto felt a little twisted when he looked left and right.

Not only was the room not tidy, but even the refrigerator was not full of food, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

With the thought that the refrigerator must be filled, Naruto took to the streets.

Familiar streets, familiar pedestrians.

When Naruto was about to ignore the eyes of the pedestrians around him as usual, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The eyes of the pedestrians around are very strange.

If the eyes of the villagers were pure disgust before, now there is only fear, as if they were seeing some kind of man-eating monster.

Walking into a familiar shop, Naruto greeted the profiteer.

When planning to bargain as before, the profiteer took the initiative to hold a bunch of goods and put them in front of Naruto, and said cautiously,

"Demon Fox... No, Naruto-sama, all these things are given to you for free."

Naruto frowned, he didn't understand how a profiteer who was bent on making money would kindly give him something.

After seeing Naruto frowning, the profiteer knelt on the ground and slapped himself a few times.

"Master Naruto, please forget what happened before.I deserve to die, I shouldn't have sold fake products to you, please forgive my disrespect!"

Naruto was thoughtful. During his coma, the villagers began to spread rumors against him again.

Is it because the scene of his rampage was seen by the villagers?

Naruto decided to ask more questions, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Boss, have there been any rumors about me in the village these days?"

"I dare not say, those people are too much."

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Under the threat of Naruto, the profiteer only talked about the rumors in the village in recent days.

After listening to the profiteer's words, Naruto frowned, put the money for the purchase on the counter, and left the store with the bag with an ugly face, leaving only the trembling profiteer.

Although Amakaze died, he brought him a lot of trouble.

In order to confuse the Third Hokage, the scene of his runaway was witnessed by many villagers, further confirming his identity as a demon fox, and the rumors were also confirmed.

However, after seeing the path he destroyed, the villager's attitude towards him changed.

In front of him, they didn't dare to show disgust, and their attitude became respectful, for fear that he would kill them all if he suddenly went berserk.

A few days ago, when the villagers suspected that he was a demon fox, they insulted and discriminated against him in every possible way, and even children didn't spare him.

But after knowing that he was really a demon fox, their attitudes became respectful, for fear of offending him.

'Is this the real treatment of a Jinchuriki?'

Thinking of this, Naruto chuckled, not knowing if he was laughing at himself or at the villagers.

Nine Tails heard Naruto's self-mockery, and his voice sounded in the sealed space, "Naruto, this is the treatment of a Jinchuriki, and it is also the treatment that Tailed Beasts face. Do you have the urge to destroy everything?"

"It's a pity that the seal on your body has been strengthened, so you can't make a big fuss. It's a pity."

"No, I still don't have the urge to destroy everything, but I feel a little sad for the villagers. However, I suddenly have the urge to not want to stay in this village, and want to leave here."

Naruto shook his head slightly. He didn't lose his mind, nor was he a lunatic who wanted to destroy everything.

"Leave here?"

After hearing this, Nine Tails smiled disapprovingly, "How can you leave Konoha with your strength? Which group of people will allow you to leave the village? Jinchuriki is the most valuable combat power for them."

"Unless you can break the seal and fully accept my power, but you don't have the ability."

Naruto looked at Nine Tails, and said seriously, "So I need to work harder. Only by growing to the greatest extent can I better accept your power, instead of falling into a rampage because of a small amount of Tailed Beast Chakra."

"There is another key question, why would I lend you my strength?"

Nine Tails rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say, "Even if you escape, I'll still be a prisoner in your body."

Naruto said with a smile, "Even if you are a prisoner, don't you want to see the wonderful world outside? I really yearn for the outside world and want to see a different scenery."

"What's more, I may be able to leave here without relying on your strength."
