Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Chapter 385 Naruto Returns, a Touching Reunion

At the entrance of the village, Haruno Sakura was carrying a flower basket and was about to enter the village. She looked around casually and naturally saw three extremely bright and eye-catching figures, one yellow and two green.

Even though she had seen this kind of scene many times, she still felt extremely embarrassed for the other person.

Suddenly, she felt as if she was being watched.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe Hinata Hanabi's Byakugan was too strong to be noticed by others. In any case, Haruno Sakura's eyes met Hinata Hanabi's.

Looking at the other person's eager and shining eyes, Haruno Sakura instinctively felt something was wrong for some reason.

The next second, she followed her instinct, covered her face with her hands, and ran quickly along the wall.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

"Sister Sakura!!" Hinata Hanabi's voice was full of kindness and excitement.

If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would think the two were close relatives who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Sister Sakura!" Hinata Hanabi called affectionately and excitedly, then she naturally stopped her frog jumps and took two steps at a time to come to Haruno Sakura's side. Regardless of the fact that she covered her face with her hands, she stepped forward and held her hand. Her hand was slender and long, and felt good.

"Sakura-san! Long time no see!"

"After not seeing you for a long time, you have become much more beautiful."

"Heh...heh, is that so?" Haruno Sakura was a little confused.

"Of course." Hinata Hanabi said, "Look at your skin, it's so white and translucent, and your hands seem to be much thinner than before."

Haruno Sakura: ...

It seems like we were not familiar with each other before?

And... take your hands off me!

Haruno Sakura struggled slightly, and thought it would be an easy thing to do, but she failed to break free, which showed how tightly Hinata Hanabi was holding on.

"Sister Sakura, what are you doing lately?"

"Sister Hinata said she hasn't seen you in a while."

"She said that you have been practicing medical ninjutsu with Lady Tsunade recently. Is that true? Sister Sakura, you are so amazing~"

"I...I..." Haruno Sakura was a little confused: "Yes. I have been practicing medical ninjutsu recently."

"We don't have enough herbs in the house, so I just picked some fresh ones outside the village."

"Wow~" Hinata Hanabi looked at Haruno Sakura's flower basket and exclaimed in surprise: "Really? There's still dew on it."

"Sister Sakura, you are awesome. You are beautiful, kind-hearted, and you also know medical ninjutsu."

"No wonder Sister Hinata said you are the best female ninja of your class. She was right. I admire you too~"

Tiantian: “(╬￣皿￣)!”

Haruno Sakura: "...Ah? Really? Hehehe..."

Haruno Sakura felt her mind becoming more and more confused.

Hinata Hanabi used all the family social skills she learned in the clan on her at this moment, and her overwhelming flattery directly stunned Haruno Sakura.

Hinata Hanabi asked for nothing else, she just wanted the other party to take her away from this place!

Of course, these methods of hers could not be hidden from the majority of people present.

However, whether it was for the sake of friendship or out of sympathy for one's own kind, Uchiha Aoi and Tenten and the others did not expose the truth, and allowed Hinata Hanabi to talk with Haruno Sakura as they walked further and further away.

Suzumiya Musashi naturally also knew Hinata Hanabi's little thoughts.

It's just that he didn't care, or he didn't have time to care.

Because Might Guy has practiced handstand more than him!

He was so frightened that he quickly gathered his mind and concentrated on practicing.

Just when he was practicing hard, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from the sky.

Before Suzumiya Musashi could raise his head, he heard a loud bang, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The next second, arrogant laughter echoed from the top of Konoha's gate.

“Ahahahahahaha!!!~”

"Everyone in the village! I! ... Uzumaki Naruto!"

“I’m back again!!!~”

A familiar voice yet strange.

Arrogant and annoying lines.

Suzumiya Musashi's figure suddenly froze.

Then, ignoring Might Guy's smug laughter of "Hahaha, I'm better than you, Musashi", he suddenly supported himself on the ground with his hands, bounced up, and stood in the middle of the street in Konoha.

He raised his head and his eyes crossed the long distance and fell on the figure on top of the Konoha gate.

Uzumaki Naruto has grown taller.

The little boy who always followed behind me in my memory has now grown into a tall and straight young man.

He stretched out his arms as if to embrace the village, and laughed loudly on top of the gate.

The eyebrows and eyes are still the same as I remembered, and the cheeks still have three pairs of whiskers.

Suzumiya Musashi's eyes softened in an instant.

[You've grown quite a bit taller, little brat~]

Suzumiya Musashi sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto, who was standing on top of the door, seemed to sense something, lowered his head slightly, and looked in the direction of Suzumiya Musashi. Then, his eyes immediately became full of surprise!

Suzumiya Musashi laughed.

He saw Uzumaki Naruto jump down the gate, and it was as if he saw the little kid jumping around back then in his eyes.

He watched Uzumaki Naruto running towards him like mad, overlapping with the figure who always ran towards him happily every time.

He watched Uzumaki Naruto approaching, with his arms open, not at all reserved like a young man, as impulsive as before, and his heart was filled with warmth, and he felt that his longing was like the sunshine of early spring, shining on his soul in an instant, melting away the sadness of separation for three years.

So he opened his arms, ready to accept the passionate affection of his family.

The wind blew past my ears.

All that was left was a voice, like a knife, cutting into his heart.

"Sakura juice!!!~"

Suzumiya Musashi: “………(°ー°〃)………”

One minute later.

Haruno Sakura rubbed her fists with disdain.

Uzumaki Naruto stood beside her with dark circles under his eyes, looking at Suzumiya Musashi opposite him whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and scratched his scalp in embarrassment.

"Hey hey... Boss."

"Boss, have you changed your clothes? I thought I was dazzled just now and almost didn't recognize you."

Suzumiya Musashi's face darkened as he spoke word by word: "You didn't recognize me at all."

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head even harder.

"This...that...Boss, your style has changed too much!"

"You've always been wearing green tights, haven't you? Why did you suddenly change to yellow? It's weird."

A sharp light flashed in Suzumiya Musashi's eyes: "Really?"

"How weird?"

"Uh..." Uzumaki Naruto paused, then reacted very quickly: "Boss, you heard wrong."

"I mean - he's so handsome! So handsome that I couldn't recognize him for a moment."

"Really?" Suzumiya Musashi's mouth curled up coldly.

"I thought someone would forget about someone when he met a girl he liked..."

Suzumiya Musashi didn't finish his words.

The next second, the boy threw himself into his arms.

"Boss, I miss you so much."

Suzumiya Musashi's figure is like a wooden sculpture.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

After a moment, he simply reached out and gently patted the boy's back.

"Come down, it's sinking."

[…I’m glad you’re back.]
