Chapter 957 Inheritance

"Hmph." Sakura crossed her arms and turned her head away. Naruto covered his head with his hands, looking helpless. At this time, Hinata came over.

"Why are you here?" Hinata asked in a low voice. Seeing Hinata, Sakura's mouth twitched slightly, while Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Hinata, we were just talking about you." Naruto said with a smile. Sakura glared at Naruto fiercely.

"Mention me?" Hinata tilted her head in confusion.

"Yeah, Sakura said you're very feminine." Naruto didn't notice Sakura's increasingly dark complexion at all.

Hinata's face suddenly turned red and she stammered, "Thank...thank you."

Sakura took a deep breath, and suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look! What is that?" While Naruto and Hinata turned their heads to look, she quickly slipped away.

"Huh? Where's Sakura?" Naruto turned around and found that Sakura was gone.

"Maybe he left because of something urgent." Hinata said softly.

"Forget it, forget about her. Hinata, the weather is nice today, do you want to go eat ramen together?" Naruto scratched his head and invited Hinata with a smile. Hinata nodded shyly, and the two walked towards the ramen shop.

When Naruto was walking towards the ramen shop with Hinata, Sai followed them quietly. It turned out that Sai had always felt that Naruto's behavior was a little strange, especially his attitude towards Hinata, and he wanted to see if there was any special reason for this.

Naruto took Hinata into the ramen shop and excitedly recommended various flavors of ramen to Hinata. Hinata sat there, watching Naruto talk nonstop with gentle eyes. Sai hid in the corner and observed everything, thinking to himself: "Does Naruto like Hinata?"

At this time, a few uninvited guests suddenly broke into the store. They were a group of wandering ninjas. Seeing Hinata's delicate appearance, they had bad intentions. Naruto stood in front of Hinata and glared at the group of people. Seeing this, Sai no longer hid and stood next to Naruto. The three stood side by side, and Hinata, who was originally timid, also plucked up the courage at this moment. Seeing that the situation was not good, the group of wandering ninjas ran away in shame. After this incident, Sai seemed to understand the relationship between Naruto and Hinata, and the relationship between Naruto and Hinata seemed to be closer.

In the days that followed, Naruto continued to practice fairy arts diligently, and Hinata often sent him homemade snacks. Every time Naruto received the snacks, he would smile happily. This scene was seen by many villagers in Konoha Village, and everyone tacitly believed that they would be together sooner or later.

One day, after Naruto finished training, he went to see Hinata as usual. He saw Hinata drying clothes outside her house. Just as he was about to greet her, he heard Hinata whispering to herself: "Naruto-kun, I hope you can realize your dream soon. As long as I can be with you, I will be very happy." Naruto was moved.

At this time, Sai passed by here and saw Naruto standing there in a daze. He understood something in an instant. He walked up to Naruto, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Naruto, you must cherish it." Naruto came back to his senses and nodded heavily. From then on, Naruto worked harder to practice. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect the village and Hinata. Hinata also silently accompanied Naruto and supported his every step of growth. Their feelings flowed quietly over the years, full of warmth and expectation.

However, the peaceful life did not last long. One day, news came from afar that a mysterious dark force was approaching Konoha Village. This force was strong and evil, and wherever it went, it was shrouded in darkness.

Naruto knew the responsibility he had and decided to go and investigate. Hinata was worried but still insisted on going with him. Sai also joined their team.

When they arrived, they found that the source of the dark power was actually the evil monster that had been sealed. It broke the seal and exuded a terrifying breath.

Naruto rushed forward first and activated the Sage Mode to fight against it. Hinata assisted from the side and used her Byakugan to find the monster's weakness. Sai used ninjutsu to interfere with the monster's attack.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Naruto gradually lost his strength. At the critical moment, Hinata stepped forward and blocked the monster's fatal attack on Naruto with her body. Seeing the injured Hinata, Naruto burst into anger and burst out with unprecedented strength, and finally successfully sealed the monster again.

After this battle, the relationship between Naruto and Hinata became even more indestructible. They returned to Konoha Village hand in hand and became heroes in the hearts of the villagers, and Sai also became their most loyal partner.

After returning to the village, life returned to its former tranquility. But Naruto always felt uneasy, as if the dark power had not completely dissipated. One night, Naruto came to the Hokage Rock alone to think. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in the sky, and then a mysterious time and space vortex appeared before his eyes. Naruto became alert and prepared to deal with unknown dangers.

A strange man walked out of the whirlpool, claiming to be from the future, and warned Naruto that a greater crisis was coming. This crisis was not only about Konoha Village, but the entire ninja world. The man disappeared after leaving some vague hints about the capabilities of future enemies.

Naruto told Hinata and Sai about this. The three decided to train secretly to improve their strength to deal with the possible threats. They searched for ancient ninjutsu secrets and visited hermits. During this period, Hinata showed amazing talent and learned a long-lost defensive ninjutsu that could resist super-strong attacks.

As time goes by, a vague ominous premonition hangs over Konoha Village. Naruto and his friends are ready, waiting for the challenge of unknown enemies, determined to protect everything they cherish.

Finally, the threat came. The sky was stained black, and a strange red light flashed in the dark clouds. The enemy appeared, a group of ninjas with strange blood limit, who could control the power of space and time. As soon as the battle started, Naruto and his team felt great pressure. Hinata used the newly learned defensive ninjutsu to temporarily resist the enemy's waves of attacks. Sai used his unique ninjutsu to disrupt the enemy's coordination. Naruto activated the Sage Mode and attacked with all his strength, but the enemy always managed to dodge and counterattack cleverly.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Naruto remembered the hint from the mysterious man and realized that he had to find the core connection point of the enemy's power. So he ventured deep into the enemy camp, and Hinata and Sai tried their best to cover him. After a hard fight, Naruto found the core. He concentrated all his chakra and delivered the strongest blow. With the dazzling light, the source of the enemy's power was destroyed, they lost the ability to control time and space, and were defeated instantly. Konoha Village ushered in peace again, Naruto, Hinata and Sai became legendary, their names will always be engraved in the history of Konoha, inspiring generations of young ninjas.
