When paying, Sasuke, who doesn't care about money, felt the pain of his wallet being emptied.
If it weren't for the fact that he has shares in this store and enjoyed a discount, it would be even more painful.
It's not that he hasn't eaten with Hinata before, but he never had such a big appetite like this time.
Not only can she eat, but all of them are made of expensive high-quality ingredients!
"In the future, unless it's necessary, I won't bring Hinata with me when I treat!" When signing the bill, Sasuke silently made up his mind, this money will be deducted from his bonus.
After eating and drinking, everyone chatted for a while and then separated.
It's not that they can't stay in the hot spring hotel, but there are many children in the group, and it's not suitable to stay out all night, so in the end, everyone chose to go home.
Naruto sent Hinata to her door, not wanting to face her family's supercilious eyes.
He declined the invitation to drink tea and look at the cute little Hanabi, turned around, and walked back to his home.
Unsurprisingly, Naruto saw Jiraiya waiting for him on the side of the road not far from home.
"Hey."
Jiraiya raised his hand to greet him.
Naruto nodded slightly in response.
"Naruto, are you willing to take in a homeless old man?"
Jiraiya didn't mind Naruto's coldness and smiled.
"Your house in Wood Leaf shouldn't be taken away, right? It can be cleaned up and you can live there. "Naruto's voice was still cold, which stung Jiraiya.
Although they had a meal together and chatted a lot, Naruto didn't hate Jiraiya as much as he did at the beginning, but he was still very unhappy.
When I was a child, when I was sad and lonely, where were you?
Why did you come out now?
Even though Naruto knew that Jiraiya had his own things to do and had no obligation to take care of him, he still couldn't help but have such thoughts.
Although it was wrong to think that way, in Naruto's eyes, Jiraiya, who had not appeared when he needed him the most, was no different from Flying Ape and the others.
Until now, was there really no way for him to change the Wood Leaf people's opinion of him, improve his situation, and make a lot of friends?
The simplest method was to attract a large number of enemies to Wood Leaf, and then appear to save the world.
It was just a show.
After reading so many books, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
It was just that he was unwilling and disdained to do so.
His love did not belong to the masses. It only belonged to the people he approved of.
Now, he was strong enough to stand on his own two feet.
Even if Jiraiya appeared, what could he change?
Listening to Naruto's words, Jiraiya didn't get angry, he just smiled bitterly and said: "Naruto, are you angry with me? Are you angry that I didn't appear earlier, and now that I can't change anything, I appeared in your life? "
Without waiting for Naruto to answer, Jiraiya continued: "I admit that I wasn't a responsible person, I didn't want to take over the position of Hokage, I didn't want to be your guardian when you were young, I didn't want to take care of you, I didn't find out earlier that you were living in pain.
But that wasn't my intention. Every six months, the Sandaime would send me the latest photos of you. In the photos, you looked very energetic, you dressed yourself up, your complexion was rosy, and you were very tall.
I thought that the Sandaime took good care of you, until two years ago, I learned the truth, but I didn't have the ability to refuse the Sandaime's will, I couldn't take you away and take care of you personally. "
The more he said, the more bitter Jiraiya felt, it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
As long as he thought about how Naruto was ignored by everyone all these years, even after his identity as the son of the Sandaime was exposed, he was full of anger.
He and Tsunade have been wandering around for years, they didn't want to return to the village, they were dissatisfied with the village and their teacher, the Flying Ape.
"What I'm saying now may seem like I'm shirking my responsibility, but I really hope that you can grow up happy and healthy, and not suffer like you are now."
"Naruto, let me take care of you in the future, I will take you away from Wood Leaf, away from this disgusting environment, I will take you to travel around the world, I will teach you all the ninjutsu I know, including the most important one, the Summon Beast Scroll, I will teach you."
"You have an excellent talent as a ninja, with me as your teacher, you will definitely become a great ninja in the future."
"When you grow up, you may be as strong as the First Hokage. I don't ask you to protect Konoha, as long as you don't do anything to harm the place where your father spent his life, then I will support you in whatever you do."
Looking at Naruto's indifferent expression, Jiraiya sincerely expressed his truest thoughts.
At this moment, he made up his mind to no longer follow the will of his teacher, the Flying Ape.
He didn't want to wait for Naruto to graduate from the Ninja Academy, he didn't want to wait for Naruto to leave this place.
Naruto looked at Jiraiya with a bitter but sincere expression, he understood his determination at the moment.
What moves people is never words, but sincere feelings.
Looking at Jiraiya quietly, Jiraiya didn't avoid his gaze, at this moment, he had a clear conscience.
After a while, Naruto retracted his gaze, and the indifference in his eyes disappeared.
It's just that the decision to destroy this place was already made in his heart, and he didn't waver because of Jiraiya's words.
"I won't leave the village now, my friends, and my property are all here."
"Moreover, what I need now is not to travel around, but to practice step by step, so that I can become strong enough."
Naruto spoke his thoughts, he didn't resist Jiraiya, and he accepted his existence in his heart.
As he said, the property in the village, part of it was because he was really short of money, and a large part of it was because he wanted to show it to the people in the village.
In order to hide the true thoughts in his heart, he wanted to buy enough time for himself to grow.
He was not a person who liked to speak ruthlessly. What he advocated was the Way of the King, which was to sweep away all the haze with a grand momentum.
He also implements this philosophy in his daily life.
"Then, you can stay here with me for now."
Naruto took his arm and walked into the house.
Then he turned around, the indifference on his face melted, and a smile appeared on his face: "Welcome home, Jiraiya -sensei."
Seeing Naruto like this, Jiraiya's blocked emotions disappeared a lot, and he showed a sincere smile.
How long has it been since his disciples died one after another, and Orochi Maru betrayed the village, he hasn't been so happy.
At this moment, this new disciple named Naruto once again brought sunshine to his heart.
"I'm back."
