"How's it going? Naruto."
When Ryosuke came home, Hinata and Hanabi were already asleep, but Hyuga Hiashi was not.
He seems to have learned from Hinata what Ryosuke is going to do tonight, so he specially guards in the yard, waiting for him to come back.
"His situation is relatively complicated. Third Generation may not be able to keep him. I just hope that Jiraiya can bring Tsunade back to the village as soon as possible."
Hearing his father's question, Ryosuke spoke regretfully.
Although when chatting with Naruto, he always analyzed for him from the perspective of a bystander, and did not help him judge whether Sarutobi Hiruzen is a good person or a bad person for him.
But in fact, in Ryosuke's mind, he already has a certain analysis of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
First of all, his attitude towards Naruto is absolutely kind.
At least from the usual contact, Ryosuke can see that Sarutobi Hiruzen is more guilty of Naruto, and he is really cultivating him as a junior.
Compared with the possibility that Sarutobi Hiruzen will hurt Naruto because of this incident, Ryosuke is more inclined to keep Naruto under the proposal of other high-level officials in the village.
After all, Naruto is an important weapon of war in the village. This out-of-control force has a great impact on his original stable situation. In addition, there are many radicals among the high-level people in the village. It is not impossible to come up with some vile and inhumane ideas. of.
In this situation, he felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen would try his best to protect Naruto.
But still the same sentence, he is not Naruto, nor Sarutobi Hiruzen, he cannot make choices for them, nor can he represent them, and he does not know the truest thoughts in their hearts.
"Aren't you going to help him then?"
Sitting on the corridor aisle in the yard, Hyuga Hiashi looked at Ryosuke suspiciously.
He didn't know what the situation was, but he knew that Ryosuke had a good relationship with Naruto.
"Just do your best."
Ryosuke also approached the courtyard corridor and sat down, admiring the silent night scene with his father, "Since he chose to graduate from ninja school early and become a ninja, he should be prepared to face these."
As a friend, he can no longer look at Naruto's life calmly as a bystander like before.
He always has some emotions of his own because of the sense of participation.
But these emotions will not allow him to control Naruto and make some decisions that he thinks are right.
"It's like a decision you'd make."
Hyuga Hiashi chuckled, feeling more certain in his heart that Ryosuke really regarded Naruto as a friend.
Because if it is not a friend, based on Naruto's value, at least Ryosuke will never give him a chance to choose, but will help him make the most favorable considerations.
Next to him, Ryosuke couldn't help laughing about his father's understanding.
The father and son looked at each other, and they could see the peace and thinking in each other's eyes, and then quickly moved away to look at the sky.
In the courtyard, there were no other sounds, only the father and son watched the moon together, enjoying a moment of tranquility...
In addition to Naruto, Ryosuke has gradually integrated into this world in other ways.
In the past, he looked at this real world based on comics with a playful attitude.
He can disregard everything else while preserving himself.
But with this family, with Hyuga, with the influence of everyone he knew in this world, Ryosuke has gradually become a member of this world, and there is no way to look down on this world with a high attitude.
Although this kind of change made his heart feel complicated and made him need to consider and scruple more things, but it was not exclusive.
"Hyuga Neji successfully passed the graduation examination!"
"Hyuga's first genius, Hyuga Neji is officially a ninja!"
"The hope of the rise of our Hyuga clan is here!"
It seems that Ryosuke's encouragement at that time gave Neji the determination to face the pressure.
In less than three days, he considered everything and submitted the graduation assessment application for the second time.
And this time he succeeded.
"Master Ryosuke, with Neji's talent, he will definitely become one of your Admirals in the future."
Just like what Hinata said at the time, with the family reform plan in full swing, this good news will undoubtedly become the best medicine to stabilize people's hearts.
Although he didn't go to the school, the news about Neji successfully graduating from the ninja school early was widely spread throughout the Hyuga clan.
And several diehard members of the clan who knew Ryosuke's ability couldn't wait to come.
Among them, there is Hyuga Tama, who accompanied him on the mission to the country of Nami.
Hyuga Tama, who was only at the level of Chūnin, lost an arm after returning from a mission, and his strength may not even be as good as Chūnin.
But even so, no one in the Hyuga clan, or even the entire Konoha Village, would underestimate him because of his declining strength.
On the contrary, because he once turned the tide of the battle by himself and reduced the loss of the village, his prestige in the village can be said to be different from what it used to be.
"What about Admiral, one of my subordinates? Hinata's future patriarch of Hyuga will be Hinata, and even I will have to listen to her." Ryosuke chuckled, wiping his sweat with a towel, and walked out of the training ground towards them .
"What? You came here just to tell me this?"
"We're here to send you the information that Sister Xingcai and Souji-san came back from Kyoto City, but you mentioned this issue, in fact... it's all the same, anyway, Ms. Hinata is your wife Ryosuke-sama .”
Hyuga Tamayu raised his only remaining arm and scratched his head, "And...she's not as strong as you."
When he said this, the other people who were carrying a large pile of scrolls behind him panicked, and their walking steps were a little awkward.
"The head of the clan is not something that a strong person can be."
But fortunately, Ryosuke simply shook his head, denying his idea.
He may not be happy if others say this to belittle his wife, but if Tamaxiong said that, he wouldn't be too angry.
After all, from the perspective of the other party, he really needs to respect himself more, which he can understand.
Besides, the idea of respecting strength is not uncommon in clans, even villages, and ninja circles. This is a continuation of the flame from the Sengoku period, which promotes the idea that only the strongest can become a leader.
"Anyway, we will listen to Master Ryosuke, whoever you want to listen to, we will follow you."
Originally, Hyuga Tamaxiong wanted to continue arguing on this issue.
But next to him, a clever-looking Hyuga clansman who was holding dozens of scrolls interrupted him, stopping his thoughts, "But Master Ryosuke, there is a question... we are actually quite curious."
"Tell me, but I may not be able to answer you."
Ryosuke shifted his gaze to him.
"Actually...it's nothing. We just want to know whether your current strength is stronger or weaker than Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi and others?"
The Hyuga tribe laughed, and carefully asked the question in his heart, but soon, he denied it himself, "If it's inconvenient, you don't need to say it."
"We're just a little curious. After all, when you went to the land of waves with us, you were able to fight Jōnin on par with that posture. If you use your own body, you can't... directly crush it? "
As for this question, several other people were also a little nervous.
They have seen Ryosuke's ability before, but they can't figure out the specific level.
"This..."
Ryosuke deliberately elongated the tone, looked at them with a chuckle, "Actually, I don't know either."
"...Ah this."
Hyuga Tamaxiong and the others look forward to it, and their eyes are a little disappointed.
But this answer is not surprising, after all, Master Ryosuke has been carefully concealing his strength, just not wanting others to know.
It is a great honor for them to have the opportunity to know his ability.
"I really don't know."
Looking at their expressions, Ryosuke knew that they thought he was hiding it deliberately, and explained helplessly: "Uchiha Itachi, I may not be sure, but if it is Hatake Kakashi, it is not difficult for me to win."
"But I haven't played it specifically, and I don't know much about it."
"And... It's been a long time since I've had a serious fight with anyone."
He didn't say these words casually.
After returning from the land of waves, Ryosuke's strength has been greatly improved after a period of rest and consumption of the experience accumulated in the battle between Third Hokage and Fourth Raikage.
After the third transformation, his own physical strength and other abilities have doubled several times, and he must be much stronger than Tamaxiong and the others.
But all the time, Ryosuke has never had any suitable opportunity to fight an evenly matched opponent.
So what level of his current strength is, he himself is not sure.
For Tamaxiong, they compare him with Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi, and he can only give such an answer.
Kakashi, Ryosuke can give the answer even if he didn't fight, because he didn't pay attention at all.
But Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan is a bit more troublesome.
With those eyes, he is comparable to Fourth Raikage in his heyday, and it can be said that he is at the top of the ninja world.
So I haven't called, and Ryosuke really can't give an accurate answer.
"Li... amazing!"
Tama Yu and the others stopped unconsciously, and stared at Ryosuke with wide eyes, "How old is Ryosuke now, can you already stabilize Hatake Kakashi?"
"Then in time, wouldn't you want to surpass Konoha's Hokage and become a super ninja comparable to Senju Hashirama?"
"Wait! Have you noticed that Lord Ryosuke said that he is sure to win Hatake Kakashi, but he is not sure that he can overwhelm Uchiha Itachi, so... Uchiha Itachi's strength has already surpassed Kakashi?"
But in addition to the excitement after learning about Ryosuke's strength, someone else caught the inadvertent information revealed in his words.
"As far as I know, after Uchiha Itachi became a rebel, he often went to and from various underground exchanges. Judging from the level of tasks he received, his strength rose rapidly."
For this part of his confidants, Ryosuke will not be stingy with the information, "As for Hatake Kakashi, after his Raikiri was developed in recent years, there have been no other brilliant spells."
"His strength has been stagnant for a while, and I don't know if he hasn't found a way to improve, or he is willing to sink..."
While talking, Ryosuke took several people home.
After they sent all the intelligence scrolls in their hands to his room, they sorted out a scroll that they could know from the information obtained by the Hyuga intelligence agency and handed it to them.
Ryosuke's cronies and loyalists, although they are also heroes who have been sent to the Kingdom of Waves, they are relatively young in that group.
Based on the influence of age and ability, their status can only be said to be the backbone of the clan, rather than touching the top of the core rights, so they cannot understand a lot of information.
But as the backbone, there is still room for improvement.
Under the influence of their loyalty, Ryosuke is willing to share some information with them, let them know more about this ninja world, and see a wider world, not just limited to the clan or the village.
Under the grateful eyes of Tamao and the others, Ryosuke saw them off and left the main house.
The family became quiet again, but he didn't go back to his room immediately to read the scroll of information that Xingcai and the others had passed on.
Instead, sit down in the courtyard.
Lowering his head, Ryosuke slowly watched his palm open and then clenched into a fist.
Just now, a question from Tamaxiong and the others made him feel a little restless in his calm heart.
That's what his level of strength is.
"Ugh……"
With a helpless sigh, Ryosuke himself wanted to know what the answer to this question was.
After the third transformation, his strength was much stronger than before, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to exert his sweat and blood with all his strength, and engage in a real life-and-death struggle.
But it's a pity that he has no way to face an enemy like this for the time being.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō may be the only people in Konoha Village who are capable of fighting him in such a battle.
Even, Ryosuke still looks down on Sarutobi Hiruzen now, after all, he is too old.
Some time ago, the battle with Fourth Raikage left no hidden wounds.
He even looked forward to Shimura Danzō more than Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. After all, that guy has a Sharingan and can die many times.
"Is this... the loneliness of a master? I didn't expect that such a pretense would come out of my mouth."
Laughing at himself, Ryosuke stretched out his hand to beckon the fat cat that had built a nest in the yard.
And Fat Cat meowed obediently, ran towards him with short legs, leaped lightly, and had already jumped into his arms.
Gently stroking this chubby and soft body with his palm, Ryosuke suddenly had an idea in his heart, "I don't know my current strength, I can fight Naruto with a few tails, maybe... Six Tails, right?"
"But the six tails should not be able to support Naruto's current body."
