Bonus Chapter: Surprise!!!
October has arrived, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is already here.
As the weather gradually turns colder, maple leaves fall, carpeting the road with an orange blanket.
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson."
Looking at the impatient little brats, Iruka helplessly rubbed his forehead, glanced at the clock that was about to strike midnight, and announced the decision to dismiss get out of class early.
"Wow!!!"
"Teacher Iruka is the best!"
"That's awesome!"
"I wish Iruka-sensei and Shizuko-sensei a pleasant time together!"
Yes, the last sentence was spoken by Ino.
"Hehehehe."
Iruka touched his hair, then glanced casually at the blond-haired man.
Naruto was packing his schoolbag.
Today was the sixty-third day of his wooden dummy training, and he was learning how to attach a menacing wooden dragon to the dummy as a weapon.
In Naruto's vision, the wooden dragon would be long and big, the kind that could be lifted and used as a whip to lash people.
Wooden Dragon: No, listen to me, I can bite him, I really can bite him! Stop ignoring me!!!
However, due to the limited amount of chakra, the current learning is still based on the chakra of the teacher and Kurama for experimentation.
"Hey, can I come to your house to play today?"
Hinata patted Naruto on the back and asked softly.
"Oh, of course."
Naruto was a little surprised. He used to be the one to invite Hinata over, but he didn't expect her to come on her own today.
"Then would you come with me to my house first and talk to my father, okay?"
๑Ő௰Ő๑)
Um, although being stared at by a bunch of people with disdain is a little uncomfortable, this is Hinata-chan's request!
"Yosh, no problem, right?"
Naruto nodded, then turned to look at Sasuke and Karin.
"Okay, we'll head back now. Take care, bro!"
Karin and Naruto exchanged a glance, then smiled comically and said playfully.
This slowness is very spiritual.
Let's go.
Sasuke tugged at Karin, then walked out carrying a bag that was much heavier than usual.
"Ya, let's go."
Choji slung his backpack over his shoulder, followed by the lazy Shikamaru, and walked to Kiba's position.
"Oh, I remember there was someone else too?"
"I am here."
Shino appeared behind Kiba with a Flying Thunder God technique. Cough cough, actually, his presence was so low that he suddenly spoke and gave himself away.
"Awooo, Shino!"
"It's Shino..."
"Hehehe, okay, let's go, let's go."
(Egg Boy's voiceover: Hurry up, hurry up!)
"Hey Sakura, what did you buy?"
"Hmm, I bought a shampoo gift set, I specifically chose it."
"Hey, I bought a romance comic book~"
The golden retriever and the pink retriever walked out of the classroom with their bags on their backs and began an encrypted call.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."
Hinata was a little slow in packing her schoolbag, but Naruto didn't mind. After she finished packing, the two of them went outside.
...
Hyuga clan territory.
"That's the kind of uncle he is."
After talking to Hiashi, Naruto managed to get past Hiashi's strange look.
The eye roll is an extremely complex expression of various emotions, including displeasure, anger, helplessness, and relief.
After receiving a nod, Naruto happily pulled Hinata away, only to be chased down and yelled at by Hiashi.
"Don't hold hands!!!"
That's outrageous, you despicable blondie.
Alright, I'll make an exception for today.
The food was already on the table, but there wasn't nearly as much as usual.
Hiashi sat relaxed in the chair, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Yay, let's go!"
Naruto grabbed Hinata's wrist and skipped happily toward home, ready to show off his cooking skills tonight!
Hinata's face was flushed, and she seemed lost in thought, still carrying her bag on her back.
I'm home.
As the door opened, Naruto found the room dark, with the curtains drawn.
Strange, didn't I close the curtains this morning? That can't be right.
While Naruto was still doubting himself, a series of small celebratory cannon shots suddenly rang out, then the lights came on, and colorful ribbons reflecting light drifted down in the living room.
Hinata, without anyone noticing, produced a crown and placed it on Naruto's head while he was still in surprise.
Happy birthday, Naruto.
Blushing, Hinata mustered her courage and whispered into Naruto's ear, her wet breath brushing against his ear.
Happy birthday, bro!!!
"Hey, Naruto, happy birthday!"
"Tch, happy birthday."
"Oh, happy birthday!"
"What a hassle~ Happy birthday, what a drag."
"Woof! Woof woof woof!"
Happy birthday, Naruto!
"Hey hey, long time no see, Naruto! Happy birthday! Did you miss your big sister?"
...
Karin, Kiba, Sasuke, Choji, Shikamaru, Akamaru, Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, the Third Hokage, and... Yugao-neechan.
"Ah, you guys..."
Naruto's eyes stung, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Thanks."
"Tch, oh my god, come over here and cut the cake."
Sasuke said dismissively, though his cheeks flushed slightly.
"Oh~ Naruto, you're shy."
Yugao then ruffled Naruto's hair without any hesitation and pulled him over to cut the cake.
"hey-hey."
Naruto smiled shyly, then began to cut the cake.
"Ah, youth is truly something."
Yes, this wasn't said by some kappa, but by Sarutobi.
Inside the sealed space, the three people and the fox had prepared celebratory fireworks, just waiting for Naruto to come in and set them off.
"Hey, who's the idiot? How about using my chakra to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball for fun?"
Nine-Tails suggested it.
Hashirama stroked his chin, considered the feasibility of the suggestion, and concluded that it was perfectly acceptable.
"Wait a minute!!! This is a Tailed Beast Ball, you know, dame dame!"
Minato stopped the man and the fox who were about to make their move, helplessly covering his forehead, but still smiled as he happily watched his son's joyful smile.
"Hey, come open the gift, Naruto."
Hinata took out the gift she had prepared and handed it to Naruto.
Inside was a pair of white plush gloves, which she made in her spare time over two months.
Naruto gave him a pair of gloves back then.
"This is mine."
"This is mine."
"This is for my older sister."
"This belongs to Grandpa."
"Oh! Thank you everyone, let's eat cake together!"
