Chapter 4: Going to school again?

Currently known information: It is the 0th day of traveling to the Naruto world, which is also the day before the start of this story. Tomorrow morning or afternoon, the protagonist of the story, Uzumaki Naruto, will do a big job for Konoha Village - paint graffiti on the Hokage Rock.

Even the stone statues of his father four generations ago were not spared, with the main purpose of treating everyone equally.

As for Luo Yi himself, after a passionate battle with Hinata Hanabi, the second daughter of the Hyuga clan, golden chakra suddenly appeared in his body.

The quantity is not measured and the quality is uncertain. If this is the novice benefit that the God of Time Travel has to give him, then it must be the worst option.

In the evening, the orange-red afterglow of the sunset filled the Konoha Village.

As the first ninja village established in the history of the ninja world, Konoha Village is located in the center of the Land of Fire, on a plain between the mountains and forests. With lush vegetation and numerous houses, it is more like a large town than a village.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was waiting for the young man who claimed to be from another world.

Hiruzen, who was rehired a few years after retirement, rarely works overtime, which shows how much he values ​​it.

"Hokage-sama, Hiashi-sama and...well, this little guest has arrived." The ninja in front of the door saw Hiashi and Luo Yi coming and reported to the office.

"Well, please let them in." An old and deep voice floated out.

Are we finally going to meet the main characters? Luo Yi couldn't contain his excitement and followed Hiashi into the Hokage's office.

How should I put it? It’s a bit like converting 2D to 3D and then running AI simulation.

Sitting behind the desk was a skinny old man, dressed very simply in a white Hokage robe, a red inner layer, and a signature hat with the word "fire" written on it.

His face was covered with wrinkles, with a small white beard on his chin and age spots clearly visible on his face.

He was holding a lit pipe in his hand, and one could imagine that the old man was still puffing on smoke until they entered the door.

"Hokage-sama." Hiashi nodded as a courtesy.

"Hokage...old sir." Luo Yi's mouth twitched.

If the current Konoha Village is like a real town, Hiruzen is like an old village chief who deserves the title.

"Hello, Luo Yi, I heard that you are from another time and space?" Hiruzen asked straight to the point, "From what Hiruzen said, you seem to know a lot about our affairs."

"I don't know much about it, I've just heard a little about it." Luo Yi chose his words carefully. He didn't dare to say that you are just a famous entertainment reading material in our world.

"You came to our world, but you didn't seem surprised or flustered. Did you expect this or were you calm enough?" Hiruzen's tone was kind, but the content of his question was quite tricky.

In this age of constant war, even the youngest children cannot be taken lightly.

"Maybe my curiosity about you exceeds my surprise and panic? In my world, chakra does not exist and everyone is an ordinary person." Luo Yi shook his head. He didn't seem to be really afraid.

Is this the calmness with which high-dimensional creatures descend into the low-dimensional world?

"Speaking of chakra, Hokage, golden chakra appeared on Luo Yi's body before he came here." Hiashi spoke. This was something that had not been mentioned in the previous report.

"Hmm?" Hiruzen frowned and couldn't help but take a sip of his pipe. "Did it appear after your report?"

"Yes, at the moment we can only see that the color of the chakra is golden, and," Hiashi glanced at the boy, "he doesn't seem to be able to control it freely yet."

"There was no chakra in the original world, but it soon appeared in our world... Luo Yi, is there no ninja in your world?" Hiruzen pinched his mustache and asked indirectly.

"Yes, but they are not the same as in this world. To make an analogy, the ninjas in my world are more like the Anbu or "Root" of Konoha. Since there is no chakra and ninjutsu, their actions are more secretive." Luo Yi looked at the ceiling and thought.

Wow, there are electric lights and ceiling fans here. It turns out that the technological background of the Naruto world is after the Second Industrial Revolution.

Of course he noticed the slight change in the looks of Hiashi and Hiruzen when they heard him mention "Root".

"It seems like you really know us well." Hiruzen stood up and blew a smoke ring out of the window. "Do you want to go back to your own world? Your world should be peaceful, right?"

"All is OK? Although I don't know how I got here, and I don't know how to go back, does Mr. Hokage have any solution?" Luo Yi couldn't say that he wanted to stay and turn the entire ninja world upside down.

You know I don’t have that ability (yet).

"Unfortunately, my knowledge of space-time ninjutsu is limited. If the Fourth Hokage were still alive, he might be able to think of a way for you. Speaking of which, you are the first person with golden chakra that I know of after him." Hiruzen glanced at the photos of successive Hokage on the wall of the office, and the golden-haired young man in the fourth position.

"Mr. 'Yellow Flash' Minato, it's such a pity." Luo Yi followed the gaze of the third generation and looked at the portrait of the fourth generation.

A young man with a warm smile.

Hiruzen had already made the highest level of guess as to the amount of information Luo Yi possessed. If he even knew about the existence of the "Root", it was completely reasonable for him to know the name of the Fourth Generation and even the fact that he had an orphan.

"It's getting late today. Let me study the scroll left by the Fourth Hokage and we can talk again another day." Hiruzen thought for a moment and decided to remind him, "I think you should know something about Naruto. As the Hokage, I ask you to keep this a secret, okay?"

"I understand." Luo Yi hesitated for a few seconds and agreed.

"As Hiashi said before, the Hyuga clan will take care of you during this time. I'll make some things clear directly. Our world is not peaceful. Until it is confirmed that you are harmless to Konoha, the Hyuga clan will also be responsible for supervising you. I hope you can understand." Hiruzen's farewell words were particularly blunt.

"Thank you, Mr. Hokage." Luo Yi thought it would be strange if he was not being monitored.

Standing by the window, watching Luo Yi and Hiashi walking down the street in the sunset, Hiruzen seemed to ask the air, "Is what that boy said true?"

A masked Anbu appeared out of nowhere behind the Sandai and knelt on one knee on the ground. "He was reserved in his words, but what he said should be true."

"He doesn't look like an eight or nine-year-old child at all, and he doesn't look like a child living in the shadow of war at all... Perhaps, he is really the child of hope brought from another world by the time-space ninjutsu left by the Fourth Hokage?"

...

When we returned to the Hyuga family, it was already getting dark and the clan members were waiting for Hiashi to come home to start having dinner.

In the restaurant, Luo Yi met Hinata.

She is really cute, with short dark blue hair that looks a bit like a bowl cut, and conservative clothing of a sweatshirt and cropped pants. She looks shy and behaves in reserved manners.

In comparison, she seemed more like a guest and Luo Yi more like the host.

"Onee-sama, this is the Luo Yi I just mentioned." It seems that Hanabi had already introduced him before they returned from the Hokage's office.

"Hinata, uh... hello sister." Luo Yi was a little uncomfortable and had to keep reminding himself that he was indeed about the same age as Hanabi when he watched Naruto.

What's wrong with calling 12-year-old Hinata "sister"?

That's very reasonable, okay?

Wait, does he have to call Naruto "brother" from now on?

It doesn't make sense.

"Well, hello. I heard you were practicing with Hanabi. Thank you very much." Hinata was more generous than expected.

Maybe it's because she sees herself as being the same age as Hanabi, and has the burden of being an "older sister".

Wow, this is bad. Other time travelers are supposed to be the big brothers and the strong men of the protagonist, but he has already been confirmed as the younger brother before he even meets the protagonist?

However, he met the protagonist's wife before meeting the protagonist. I wonder if this will cause disgust among the pure love warriors?

"We can chat after the meal. Luo Yi, this is the guest seat." Rizu pointed to the seat directly opposite Hua Huo, then walked to his own seat.

Completely different from Naruto's family later on, the Hyuga family during this period still followed traditional Japanese dining habits, with each person having a set meal and dining properly on the tatami in the restaurant.

"Hinata, don't let me down on the graduation exam the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Father."

"Hanabi, you will be enrolling soon, so always remember your mission."

"Yes, Father."

"Luo Yi, from what the Hokage said, it may be possible to arrange for you and Hanabi to enroll together. You should be able to learn the techniques to master chakra in school."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Hiashi."

School... It's been almost five years since I graduated with a master's degree before I traveled through time. Do I have to go to school again?

And... with Hanabi?
