Chapter 97

If you say it's a secret, I won't ask.

Is that nice enough?

But you told me it wasn't a secret, which aroused my curiosity, but you refused to tell me.

Jiraiya snorted and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it!"

Hinata stuck out her tongue and said, "I really want to tell you! It's uncomfortable to keep a secret in my heart!"

Jiraiya raised his eyebrows at Hinata, motioning her to tell you!

Hinata enjoyed the scenery and the food while ignoring Jiraiya.

Konoha is so beautiful!

Peaceful and peaceful...

Jiraiya picked up a bunch of meatballs and started eating them in a huff.

Hinata glanced at Jiraiya.

He really has no sense at all. No wonder he can't catch up with Tsunade for decades.

Seeing that a large bag of food was about to be finished, Jiraiya was anxious, but Hinata was leisurely and contented.

The last bunch of grilled squid.

Hinata and Jiraiya stretched out their hands at the same time, and then stopped at the same time...

Their eyes slowly met...

'Ding! '

Jiraiya suddenly had an idea, as if he suddenly understood.

He took his hand back with a smirk, and Jiraiya chuckled: "Little Hinata, I will buy you a big bag of snacks later, how about it?"

Hinata remained silent.

Not enough?

Jiraiya reluctantly said: "Then how about a big meal? Super luxurious..."

Hinata looked at Jiraiya with curved eyes, smiling, revealing a 'teacherable' expression.

"It's nothing, actually!"

"My pupil power can see through the seal to see the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, you should know this!"

Jiraiya nodded.

Hinata continued: "Through my pupil power, I can talk to the Nine-Tails, and I told the Nine-Tails something."

Jiraiya hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"

Hinata suddenly fell silent, looking at the scenery of Konoha in a daze.

Jiraiya clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "One more meal!"

Hinata seemed to have come to her senses again, and said to herself, "Where was I just talking? Oh! By the way, I talked about something with the Nine-Tails."

"It's nothing."

"The Nine-Tails guy is actually very lonely. He also longs for companions and recognition."

Hinata paused and was about to continue talking.

But Jiraiya suddenly said, "One more meal!"

Wow! Now they can answer quickly.

Hinata glanced at Jiraiya and continued, "Chakra contains our spiritual energy. People can understand and recognize each other through chakra."

"But the premise is that the two people must let go of their minds and let the chakra blend with each other without any guard..."

"I have touched fists with the Nine-Tails. I understand it and it understands me."

"We both understand each other's true thoughts, so the Nine-Tails and I have become good friends."

"That's why the Nine-Tails listen to me so much and lend me its power!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly murmured, "...Is that so?"

People understand and recognize each other, thus erasing hatred and achieving true peace.

This is the dream that Jiraiya has always wanted to pursue.

But over time, Jiraiya sometimes thinks that it is an unattainable fantasy, a fantasy that cannot be realized at all.

But now...

Hinata and the Nine-Tails can actually understand and recognize each other, and become partners who can fight together and trust each other.

What a great achievement!

Jiraiya looked at Hinata deeply, and felt that this naughty, greedy, black-bellied, and unreliable little girl in front of him was actually emitting a thousand-foot light.

At this moment, the light was so dazzling.

Chapter 145 Jiraiya: I must have been under an illusion just now

To be honest, at this moment, Jiraiya suddenly felt that Hinata was great.

This is true!

The dream that Jiraiya had pursued for decades was realized in Hinata.

The purpose of the Six Paths Sage to establish the Ninja Sect is to hope that people can understand each other and achieve true peace.

This is simple to say, isn't it just to let the chakra blend with each other, so as to understand each other's thoughts?

But everyone is selfish, and who is willing to let others see the secrets in their hearts?

In the original Naruto, the reason why Naruto can do this is that through the connection of chakra, the ninjas can see Naruto's life, Naruto's dreams, and Naruto's persistence.

Everyone was moved by Naruto's way of life, so the ninja world ushered in peace.

But what is the reality?

In Hinata's view, mutual understanding between people is only temporary.

Selfishness and desire will eventually erode the human heart.

When the Six Paths Sage was still there, the ninja world was peaceful.

But when he died, the war broke out.

The peace established by Naruto is actually the same.

Once Naruto is gone, selfishness and desire will fill people's hearts.

Even if this generation can maintain peace, what about the next generation? What about the next generation?

However, these issues are just for consideration. If you really want to do it, it is actually very difficult.

Speaking of which, Hinata actually agrees more with Nagato's ideas... or Sasuke's ideas.

In the original work, after sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, Sasuke proposed that Naruto join forces with him to execute the Five Kage first, and then unify the ninja world with the power of the two of them, so as to achieve true unification.

But this idea was rejected by Naruto.

Naruto's idea may be a bit naive, but if you think about it carefully, Sasuke's idea is actually a bit unrealistic.

Even if the ninja world is unified, once Naruto and Sasuke are gone, new ambitious people will emerge, either to create divisions or to replace power.

Not everyone can have such powerful power as Naruto and Sasuke.

What's more, there are still Otsutsuki clans outside the ninja world.

Peace... is really an eternal problem.

However, Jiraiya didn't know this, and he was actually moved by Hinata at this moment.

The dream that he originally wanted to pursue gradually became an impossible fantasy as time passed.

It was not until Naruto appeared that Jiraiya was given a glimmer of hope.

But the mutual understanding between Hinata and Nine-Tails really ignited the fire of hope deep in Jiraiya's heart.

Jiraiya is a very persistent person. Even if mutual understanding between people is just an impossible fantasy, he will keep chasing it and looking for an answer.

Decades have passed, and Jiraiya has not seen any hope.

But now... Jiraiya's fire of hope has been ignited by Hinata.

Nine-Tails, everyone regards it as a demon.

But Hinata can regard Nine-Tails as a partner who can fight side by side, and even moved Nine-Tails with the most real heart, making Nine-Tails willing to help Hinata selflessly.

Jiraiya secretly swore in his heart: "I must keep this quality in Hinata... I must!"

After eating the last string of grilled squid, Hinata stood up and stretched.

"Ah——"

After stretching her muscles, Hinata turned to look at Jiraiya and said a little embarrassedly: "Sexy Immortal, you see it's getting late now, can we go to eat?"

"..."

Why do I always feel a little bit of a letdown?

Where is the touching moment?

Jiraiya said depressedly: "It's only two o'clock now, and there are still three or four hours before dinner time. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Hinata said impatiently: "It's okay! We can eat until dinner time, and eat dinner together!"

Jiraiya: "..."

What is the name of this meal now?

Jiraiya: I must have been under an illusion just now!

...

He took Hinata to a restaurant, and Jiraiya handed the menu to Hinata, snorting: "You order!"

"No need!"

Hinata returned the menu to the boss, and said with great momentum: "I want all the dishes on the menu!"

Jiraiya grabbed the menu at a speed far exceeding that of a six-path-level strongman, and smiled foolishly: "Well... let me order the dishes! The child is ignorant, she just said nonsense!"

Jiraiya was generous, knowing that Hinata had a big appetite, and ordered ten dishes in one breath, which barely made Jiraiya pay a "drop in the bucket" of wealth.

Hinata looked at Jiraiya's passbook, he really has money.

Naruto said that Uchiha Obito has obtained strength that he dare not even dream of.

Then Jiraiya... has personal savings that Hinata dare not even dream of.

Seeing Hinata depressed, Jiraiya teased: "Little girl eats so much, be careful not to become a big fat girl when you grow up, that will not be cute!"

Humph! That's red beans, okay!

Hinata snorted: "But I have a secret technique to store chakra by eating!"

Yeah! Just like a camel, the food eaten is stored in the double peaks, and eventually it will become chakra...

Jiraiya asked curiously: "Isn't that the secret technique of the Akimichi clan? I don't look like you at all!"

Hinata showed a sneer under her dull expression.

You, Jiraiya, will never have this talent!

Unless you go to find Uncle Snake!

While eating, he chatted with Jiraiya about everything.

Jiraiya had traveled all over the ninja world and was well-informed, so he naturally knew a lot of strange things that Hinata didn't know.

Jiraiya thought he was humorous and always picked interesting topics to talk about.

Even if Hinata didn't think those jokes were funny, and even a little boring, it was still necessary to broaden her horizons.
