Chapter 3: Two and a Half Years of Staying at Home, Meeting an AngelAfter that, Naruto didn't bother with whatever trouble Danzo was stirring up. Naruto felt that since he had just pulled off a major stunt, he should settle down and lay low for a while.Ever since he went out once and felt the hatred and verbal abuse from the ignorant villagers, he had no desire to leave. Now, he just stayed at home every day. Besides, the old Hokage wouldn't let him starve to death.The system could play TV shows and anime right before his eyes, something he had discovered by accident. As a result, in the eyes of the Hokage, he did nothing but eat and spend the rest of his time lying motionless, day after day.Anyway, he had a Sage Body; in fact, Naruto didn't even want to eat anymore. He could survive just by absorbing Natural Energy.On the other side, the Hokage listened to today's Anbu report and felt so troubled. He had previously seen Naruto lying there day after day and went to check on him, but Naruto just glanced at him, closed his eyes, and continued lying there.Then, he thought about taking Naruto to the Konoha Hospital to see if something was wrong with his health. The results, however, left him completely dumbfounded: the Jinchuriki had developed autism. Could it be any more ridiculous?Now, the Hokage was filled with regret. He had originally thought about isolating Naruto to make him easier to control, but he hadn't expected this generation of Jinchuriki to be so mentally fragile.The Hokage sighed deeply, stood up, put on his clothes, and set off once again on the journey to Naruto's home."Little Naruto, Grandpa Hokage has come to visit you. Do you miss Grandpa?"Seeing that old geezer coming to bother him again, Naruto cast a portal on himself and, bed and all, teleported directly onto the Hokage's head on the Hokage Rock."Sigh, little Naruto still leaves as soon as he sees me. Did I do something wrong?" the Hokagemuttered to himself.Some time ago, Naruto discovered that his accessories had a hidden function, so he didn't fear being discovered, and thus, he became completely fearless.Besides, his dad was so skilled at the Flying Thunder God; it was only natural for the son to have some space-time talent. As for what the old geezer thought, Naruto couldn't care less.Staying at home all this time, he had figured it out: at this stage, no one in Konoha could touch him. The old schemer Danzo was being held back by the Hokage, and since he was now the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, given Konoha's current fighting strength, no one could suppress the Nine-Tailed inside him.To transfer it, the seal would have to be broken, and then the Nine-Tailed would have to be suppressed. It seemed that only the old geezer's Reaper Death Seal could suppress the Nine-Tailed. And if he did suppress it? Well, the Hokage would be dead.Then the other Ninja villages would see that the Hokage was gone, come running over, and carve up Konoha. Heh heh, that would be interesting.Naruto was living very comfortably now. Every day, he would randomly pick the house of someone who had insulted him, teleport inside, and tear the place apart. If they were home, he'd give them a beating while he was at it."Calculating the time, it's time for today's fun house-wrecking session."Naruto opened a portal again. He could teleport freely now, and he had more than enough teleportation charges for a lifetime. A while ago, while watching the Naruto movie "The Lost Tower," he suddenly thought of the Dragon Pulse. He teleported there immediately and used the Sling Ring to absorb the Dragon Pulse's energy to condense more teleportation charges.It was a pity that he couldn't absorb the Dragon Pulse's energy to condense a Natural Energy Bomb; it seemed his current body couldn't withstand such chaotic natural energy.Naruto randomly teleported into mid-air, and then he heard a "Bang.""Who is it?" Naruto shouted. The teleportation after absorbing the Dragon Pulse's power—perhaps because the natural power of the Dragon Pulse was quite violent—sometimes had slight errors in the destination. Falling to the ground didn't hurt at all, so he must have landed on some ignorant villager."I don't care who you are; you should feel honored to have caught this Prince with your body." Just as he was about to continue talking trash, he saw the figure pinned beneath him, and Naruto was struck as if by lightning, instantly rendered speechless.He saw a small figure pinned beneath Naruto, tears already at the corners of her eyes, her face full of weakness and helplessness. She aggrievedly said, "I... I..." but after struggling for a long time, she couldn't say anything. Then she became even more anxious, tears swirling in her eyes but refusing to fall.Seeing this, Naruto quickly got up. Wait, no, why did I just give my future Crown Princess a Mount Tai crush? Good heavens![Ding, original character detected: Hyuga Hinata. Generating random character series quests.][Beginner Quest: Take Hinata to experience a rebellious life.][Intermediate Quest: In front of Hyuga Hiashi, hold Hinata's hand and say: "Old geezer, I'm taking your daughter out to mess around, you don't have an opinion, do you?"][Ultimate Quest: Go to propose marriage, throw an ultrasound report at the father-in-law, and ask him if it's safe to park the Nine-Tailed outside.]Good heavens, it triggered a quest. No, wait, I can't worry about quests right now. Looking at the sobbing Hinata in front of him, Naruto felt a headache coming on."Are you okay?"Hinata didn't speak, just kept sobbing.Looking at the sobbing girl in front of him, Narutocleared his throat, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Uh... that, I'm really sorry, I... I didn't mean to."Hinata looked up, gazing at Naruto with teary eyes. Those clear eyes were full of grievance and confusion. She shook her head slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but stopped herself."Um, what's your name?" Naruto asked, forcing conversation.Hearing this, the tears in the girl's eyes flowed even more. She choked out, "I... I am Hyuga Hinata. It's okay, I believe you didn't mean to, after all, you fell from the sky."Upon hearing this, Naruto felt even worse. He quickly got up, helped Hinata up, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Hinata, I... I truly didn't mean to. Um, are you okay?"Hinata shook her head, her voice trembling slightly: "I... I'm fine."Seeing this, Naruto felt even more uncomfortable. He thought for a moment and decided to take Hinata to get something to eat to distract her. So, he gestured with his hand and said gently, "Come on, I'll take you to get something delicious as an apology."He opened a portal directly, and Hinata looked curiously at the beautiful light door.Hinata looked at Naruto's sincere eyes and nodded slightly. The two walked in one after the other. Although the atmosphere was still a bit awkward, it was much better than before.Naruto brought Hinata to the Ichiraku Ramen shop he frequented and ordered two bowls of steaming ramen. The two ate in silence, occasionally looking up at each other, then quickly lowering their heads again."Hinata, how... how have you been lately?" Narutofinally broke the silence and asked. Although they didn't know each other yet, Naruto felt that since they had met, he should show some concern.Hinata looked up, looked at Naruto, smiled slightly, and said softly, "I'm fine, just... just a bit bored lately."Naruto felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing this; it seemed Hinata hadn't been too affected by his affairs. He thought for a moment and continued, "Then, whenever you're bored in the future, just ring this bell, and you can come find me anytime. As long as you ring it, I'll be able to sense it. I can take you anywhere in this Ninja World." As he spoke, he gently handed the bell-shaped Natural Energy Bomb he had just condensed to Hinata.Hinata nodded, "This strange person seems quite capable."Watching Hinata finish, Naruto paid the bill and said to the still-dazed Hinata, "I'll take you home. You must be lost, right?"Hinata nodded. Naruto opened a light door, handed Hinata over to the completely bewildered Hiashi, and turned to run away quickly.At this moment, only the innocent guard, who had just returned from the bathroom to find the young lady missing, was searching everywhere for her in the cold winter.
