In Konoha, This Naruto Has Decided To Take It Easy

Naruto actually didn't have much of a choice, after all, the first option is clearly unacceptable. No matter what his true thoughts were, Hinata's presence in his life was a blessing.

No one dislikes a gentle girl, and Naruto was no exception.

He wasn't the oblivious Naruto from the original work, he was a normal person.

'If there is a princess who likes me and I don't cherish her well, I will probably be struck by lightning, right?'

Even though he could roughly sense that Hinata's ability to get close to him was likely due to the village and the Hyuga Clan's tacit approval, he still accepted it. Whether it was to continue the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline or to ensure the Jinchuriki had successors, it didn't matter.

He is not the real Naruto after all. He's a soul from another dimension.

For him, the result wasn't as important as the process.

By the riverbank.

Hinata held the fishing rod nervously. Suddenly, her hand shook, and a surge of nervous excitement shot through her, making her stutter.

"Naruto-kun! A... a fish! A fish is hooked!"

The full-level fishing mastery took effect, making the fish bite even on an empty hook.

Naruto had expected this outcome, so he calmly held Hinata's hand and slowly guided her to play with the fish. Hinata found all these new things fascinating, and was also extremely nervous when being hugged by Naruto.

"Once the fish is exhausted, let's pull it up together!" Naruto suggested.

"Okay!" Hinata responded, her breath quickening, her face flushed.

In the distance, the Hyuga Shinobi's face turned pale. Seeing that a fish really seemed to be on the line, a thousand curses ran through his mind.

"Impossible! How can the fish be hooked when there's no bait?" The Hyuga Shinobi looked as if he'd seen a ghost. Unlike the love-struck Hinata, he couldn't overlook any detail.

He just wanted to know how Naruto managed to catch a fish on an empty hook. He couldn't even pay attention to his own lady being almost embraced by Naruto, as he just stared blankly at the river.

The fish was really hooked and bit the hook tightly.

"Lift it up slowly like this." Naruto held Hinata's hand and taught her seriously, "Then pull hard!"

With a splash, a big fish was pulled out of the water, creating a semi-arc of water droplets in the air. The shimmering surface of the water reflected in Hinata's pupils.

"I caught it?" Hinata was stunned for a moment, then asked with a blushing face, her voice filled with excitement and a little nervousness.

Naruto knew that Hinata had always lacked confidence and had a very gentle personality. However, deep down in her heart, she desperately wanted her abilities to be recognized, rather than being seen as a Hyuga princess.

"Yes!" Naruto, taking advantage of the height difference, patted Hinata's head and said, "Hinata, you're already amazing. You'll definitely be a gentle wife in the future."

[Reward successfully granted. Please create an avatar character?]

[--- (Any identity, it will be automatically rationalized after creation, and you will speak under this identity)]

Hinata's face instantly turned crimson at Naruto's sudden words, making her stutter even more.

"W-w-wife?!!!"

"No, I haven't... Such a thing is too...!"

At this moment, Naruto's mind was entirely on the avatar character.

'Great!'

'Any identity… If this is the case, then…'

[---Shinobi God--- Created successfully. The God persona has been successfully created. The host can speak once a day through this persona.]

Naruto couldn't help but cough in his heart, 'It really was any identity.'

'Although this thing is useless, it can allow people within a certain range to receive the avatar's words. Well, isn't that just like the Yamanaka Clan's Ninjutsu?'

'Never mind.'

'Will I be able to speak as the Shinobi God in the future? Wuhu! Awesome!'

The shy Hinata mustered up the courage to look at Naruto, and seeing the joy on his face as he gazed affectionately at her, her face turned even redder.

"N-Naruto-kun…" Overwhelmed, Hinata's legs went weak, and she fell backward.

"Hinata!" Naruto was startled and quickly caught her, but no matter how he called, Hinata didn't respond.

"Why did she pass out just like that?" Naruto muttered, touching her forehead and checking her breathing. Only then did he feel relieved enough to place her gently on the soft grass.

Seeing that Hinata wouldn't wake up for a while, he decided to process the big fish they had caught first. He gathered some wood nearby to make a barbecue rack and finally sat down to open the system panel.

[---Shinobi God---(Can speak today)]

'What should I say?'

Naruto fell into deep thought, 'Since it was a broadcasting tool, and it also carried the title of the Shinobi God, but it could only speak once a day…'

'Why not just make a diary of the Shinobi God!'

'Well, let's just do it.'

Naruto typed the following string of words into the input box.

[August 15th, sunny. Shinobi God's Diary. Shinobi nowadays are all idiots. If there are no long-legged shrine maidens in short skirts performing sacrificial dances, I might as well destroy this world! And there are too many Sharingan on that guy Shimura Danzo. So disgusting."

[Ding! The Shinobi God was created successfully, broadcasting range fifty square kilometers.]

At this moment, Hiruzen, who was working on a document, suddenly trembled and scribbled the entire document. The words of the Shinobi God suddenly appeared in his mind, and the content almost made him spit out blood.

When he turned around to look at the guards beside him and found that Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raido both had strange expressions, he knew something was wrong.

"Hokage-sama!" They walked to the front of Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk in unison and looked at him nervously.

The situation had exceeded his expectations. When words could appear out of thin air in their mind, Aoba and Raido, as Hokage's guards, had already realized the seriousness of the matter.

As for the content of that diary entry, they are so similar that they dare not even think about it.

"Emergency situation! Summon the Konoha's council immediately. But first, call Yamanaka Inoichi." Hiruzen gave the order with a stern face.

"Yes!" Aoba and Raido accepted the order and left immediately.

The Yamanaka Clan is one of the few clans in Konoha skilled in mental techniques. The clan leader, Yamanaka Inoichi, is particularly skilled in techniques like Mind Reading Technique, capable of extracting information even if the enemy didn't speak.

Meanwhile, Danzo, who was resting with his eye closed, was frightened by this sudden text and turned pale. However, he quickly calmed down.

He knew that there must be someone behind this, and he had to find that person!

"Come here!" Danzo called out.

Bang bang bang…

Five masked Root Shinobi suddenly appeared and half-knelt in front of Danzo.

"Go find out what's going on!"

"Yes, Danzo-sama!"

On the other side, the 'Shinobi God' himself was teaching Hinata how to grill fish, feeling no guilt at all and enjoying this sweet moment.

"See, Hinata, flipping the fish like this will make it more tender."

"Tasty."
