Chapter 60

"I want to get permission to leave the village for a few weeks." Naruto said.

Naruto was currently in the Hokage Mansion trying to get permission from Tsunade.

"Why do you want permission? What are you going to do?" Tsunade asked.

Naruto said after a short pause, "I'm going to Ryuchi Cave."

"Huh? How so? Why and how will you get there?" Tsunade asked curiously.

"I want to absorb the natural energy that accumulates there. I also have a special technique for finding there." Naruto said.

"You... How?" Tsunade said in surprise.

"Also, I want to ask something from Katsuyu, who is your summon. Please help me with meet it." Naruto said.

Tsunade thought for a while and then said with a sigh, "Sigh* Okay, I accept. Also, I'm going to get you to meet Katsuyu."

"Thank you, Tsunade." Naruto said with a smile.

"It does not matter. When would you like to see it and when will you leave the village?" Tsunade asked.

"I want to meet Katsuyu first. After that, I will leave the village." Naruto said.

"Okay, I'll be done in a few hours and I'll be available. Later then come again." Tsunade said.

"Okay. Thank you again." Naruto said and disappeared in a flash of red.

After Naruto left the Hokage Mansion, he went to the place where they had agreed to meet Hinata the other day.

When he got there, he saw Hinata sitting alone. He then sneaked up behind her and hugged her.

"How's it going, beauty?" Naruto said with a smile.

Hinata already knew it was him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to water the grass again if someone else hugged her from behind like that.

"I'm fine, so what are you doing? You weren't injured in the last attack, were you?" Hinata asked. Hinata knew what Naruto was going to do like the others.

Naruto did not like to do things in secret from his girls. After all, if he couldn't trust them, who would he trust? He hadn't just told them about Shinju right now, but it wasn't his time yet either.

Also, Karin may not be his girl now, but that doesn't mean she won't be later, does it?

"Don't worry, I didn't get hurt, I didn't get a scratch." Naruto said as he broke the hug and sat next to her.

He then took her by the hand and continued to speak in a serious tone, "You know your father knew about us, right?"

Hinata nodded, then said, "I know."

Then, after a moment's pause, he continued, "He even tried to arrange a marriage for me."

Naruto was not surprised as he had already expected such a situation. After all, Hinata's Hyuga blood was quite strong and of course the elders would want to marry her off to a clan member.

"Sigh* And who do they want you to marry?" Naruto asked.

Hinata said shyly, "With my cousin, Neji."

Hinata was deeply saddened. Why did he have to live such a life? She sometimes wanted to be the girl from an ordinary civilian family. That way, she could live a much more comfortable life.

Naruto felt Hinata feel depressed, so he grabbed her by the waist and brought her closer to him.

"Don't worry, I'll find a solution." Naruto said.

Hinata was starting to feel like she was going to cry, so she asked in a shaky voice, "What are you going to do?"

After thinking for a while, Naruto said, "I think the best solution right now is to threaten them with my power."

Hinata was about to protest, but Naruto put his finger on her lips, preventing her from speaking.

"Listen to me first, I can't think of a better idea right now. If I try to convince them with my Uzumaki Clan Head identity, they will ignore me at all. Even if I ask the Hokage for help, Hokage cannot get into the clans' internal affairs. So the only option left is to persuade them with my power." Naruto said.

Hinata thought for a moment, looking at him and it was clear that she was in a dilemma.

Naruto came closer and placed a kiss on her cheek. He then said, "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone. I'm just going to show them something they won't want to confront me with."

Seeing that Hinata was still lost in thought, Naruto smiled and kissed her cheek once more and said, "I promise I won't hurt anyone."

"What about you? What if they do something to you?" Hinata asked worriedly.

Naruto pulled Hinata into his lap. He then said with a grin, "Are you worried about me? Looks like I need to show you how strong I am."

Hinata was embarrassed by the close contact, so her cheeks involuntarily started to turn red.

Noticing this as well, Naruto said sarcastically, "Someone is still embarrassed. It looks like you've regained some of your shyness over the past three years."

He then placed a warm kiss on her neck and said, "I need to help you more to overcome your shyness. What do you think? Are you ready to get help from me?" Naruto said and also he was examining Hinata's curvy body with his hands.

Hinata was even more embarrassed and said in a shaky voice, "W-Wait, someone will see." Even though Hinata said that, she didn't stop what Naruto was doing.

Naruto said with a lustful grin, "Then we'll have to go to a place where no one can see us. I also have to prove to you how strong I am."

Naruto embraced her and went to the Uzumaki mansion without waiting for any answer. But there was one thing that Naruto did wrong.

While he was exercising, he did not open the seal of silence by trusting the Uzumaki mansion. Just because of this, someone's sensor ability was much more advanced than before. At least he was helping his friend improve.
