Whoosh! After assigning Kakuzu his mission, Naruto used Flying Thunder God to return to his own bathroom!
"Ah..."
A startled cry - Hinata, who was sitting on the toilet, was so shocked she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet!
Naruto said: "Hinata, sorry... I didn't want to wake you up, so I came out through here!"
Hinata replied: "It's, it's okay, I was just... using the bathroom at night..."
Naruto said casually: "Hehe, I'll install another toilet later so we can go together!"
Imagining that embarrassing scene, Hinata's face immediately turned bright red: "Let's, let's not do that... it would be weird..."
Back in bed, Naruto gently rested his head on Hinata's lap, pressing his ear against her belly to listen to the baby's movements. First release free reading search: Beautiful Teacher myjschina.com
Hinata stroked Naruto's head, her eyes full of tenderness.
When Naruto heard that Hinata had gone to battle while pregnant, his soul nearly flew away in terror. He blamed himself for being so focused on the war that he hadn't even noticed his wife was pregnant.
After that, Naruto insisted: "From now on, don't worry about anything. Just focus on the pregnancy. Everything can wait until the baby is born!"
He hadn't even let her attend this meeting about the Shell Organization.
Maybe he was being overprotective.
But Naruto couldn't bear for anything to happen to Hinata.
"Sleep now..."
"Mm, with Naruto-kun holding me, I'll sleep even more peacefully."
The room lights went out, and Naruto held Hinata close.
"Oyasumi [Good night]..."
In the quiet night, Amegakure's underground conference room was bustling with activity!
After the meeting ended, Amamiya Ruri had gathered her advisors, led by Yakushi Kabuto and Violet, for a second meeting. The meeting had only one theme: discussing the deep meaning behind the sixteen-character maxim from Naruto's closing remarks!
—'Spring wind turns to rain, nourishing silently, vegetation forms ranks, earth sings songs'!
Everyone shared their views, discussing from evening until late at night.
Violet proposed: "The current season is the tail end of spring. The ninja world just experienced war and is now recovering!"
Someone asked: "But how do we explain 'vegetation forms ranks, earth sings songs'?"
Violet thought for a moment and said: "Vegetation forms ranks... refers to Wood Release. Extending from this, our next step is major construction to expand the village. As for 'earth sings songs'... I think Naruto-sama used symbolic rhetoric - during village construction, we'll hold hands and sing together in joyful celebration!"
Everyone looked at each other: "That... actually makes sense!"
At this point, Amamiya Ruri, who had been listening to everyone, spoke up: "I feel like it's still missing something."
Everyone asked: "Oh? How so!"
Amamiya Ruri said: "Violet's analysis is reasonable, but I feel that with Naruto-sama's vision, he should have even more far-reaching plans!"
Everyone hesitated: "This..."
Amamiya Ruri's eyes flickered slightly: "Did you notice Naruto-sama's expression when he spoke?"
Everyone focused: "Expression?"
Amamiya Ruri supported her delicate chin with her slender hand, her left eye visible beyond her silver bangs carrying wisdom beyond her years: "That's right, that expression - even with my experience and insight, I found it unfathomable. That's an expression only someone who commands heaven and earth could show. If it was just about expanding the village, why would he show such an expression!"
"..." Everyone present fell into deep thought.
Amamiya Ruri's eyes sparkled with intelligence: "I think these sixteen characters can't be interpreted just from their literal meaning. For example, the opening word 'spring' - we can't simply understand it as the season."
"Mm... that's true." Everyone nodded, finding this reasonable.
Amamiya Ruri continued: "I have a theory - consider this: Spring is the beginning of the four seasons, symbolizing renewal. It refers to Naruto-sama experiencing a bleak future, returning to the present - that's an ending, but more importantly, a beginning of everything. Now is the time to build high towers!"
Everyone was shocked: "This...!!"
Amamiya Ruri's beautiful eyes were profound: "Rain symbolizes Amegakure, symbolizes Rain Country. We start from here, from this land beneath our feet, spreading Rain Country's rain and soul throughout the ninja world. This means we'll use Amegakure as our base for external expansion!"
"'Nourishing silently' reminds us to carry out everything quietly without alerting our enemies!"
"!" Everyone listened in stunned silence, amazed!
Amamiya Ruri's frail girl's body burst with vigorous momentum, her ethereal words carrying inexplicable infectious power: "Vegetation - every grass and tree symbolizes the masses like vegetation. When we succeed, everything under heaven will be Rain Country's land, and all living beings will be Rain Country's people. They'll form ranks on Rain's earth, and the earth will ring with our Rain's battle songs!!"
Amamiya Ruri gripped her cane and stood up.
"Naruto-sama's sixteen-character maxim conveys this message to us..."
"That's right - conquer this world!"
"Whether it's the Five Great Nations or Five Great Villages, this world will become Naruto-sama's possession!"
Everyone had a sudden realization: "So that's it! Naruto-sama's sixteen characters contain such ambition!!!"
But then, a soft voice that had been silent spoke up: "I have a different view..."
"Oh?" Amamiya Ruri turned to look at 'Yakushi Kabuto' sitting not far away, smiling: "Then let's hear it~"
Yakushi Kabuto kept his head slightly lowered, his glasses reflecting white light as he spoke in low, calm tones: "Ruri, your foresight is remarkable even to me, but you're ultimately not a ninja, so your perspective on this matter has limitations. Think about it - with Naruto-sama's power, conquering the world would be as simple as moving his hand. Why complicate things? So these sixteen characters must have even deeper meaning!"
Everyone was stunned again: "This..."
Amamiya Ruri set down her cane, smoothed her skirt, and sat back down with a pleasant smile: "Continue."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses: "You all saw the war scenes, right? Only ninjas qualify as 'vegetation' that can 'form ranks.' As for ordinary civilians, they can only exist as 'seeds' sleeping underground, without even the right to emerge!"
"'Spring wind turns to rain, nourishing silently' - yes, everything starts from Amegakure, everything proceeds secretly in the shadows!"
"Spring wind is the new wind that Naruto-sama's return brings, transforming into sweet dew to water the earth, making those vegetation seeds sleeping underground sprout and become true 'vegetation'!"
"That's right... vegetation means ninjas! Naruto-sama wants to transform all the world's hundreds of millions of civilians into ninjas!"
"Hiss...!!!" Everyone gasped.
Yakushi Kabuto stood up, his glasses reflecting white light as he pressed his nose bridge, his mouth curving into an exhilarated smile: "Then, when enemies from beyond descend, everyone will be soldiers, everyone will be ninjas. Hundreds of millions of ninjas' ninja way and will shall become a ninjutsu storm sweeping the earth! That will be both the ninjas' marching song and the Otsutsuki's funeral dirge!"
"This is the deep meaning hidden in Naruto-sama's sixteen-character supreme maxim: 'Spring wind turns to rain, nourishing silently, vegetation forms ranks, earth sings songs'!"
Yakushi Kabuto spread his arms, letting himself go: "Naruto-sama, what courage and vision! Ah, my worship for that lord can no longer be described in words..."
"This is truly... subarashii [so beautiful]!"
Amamiya Ruri praised generously: "Yakushi Kabuto, recruiting you to this team was indeed correct. You discovered depths even I couldn't comprehend. Ah, I almost blasphemed the true meaning and became a sinner for all ages..."
Yakushi Kabuto said humbly: "It's all for Naruto-sama's eternal great cause - just doing my utmost!"
Amamiya Ruri raised her cup first: "Come, let's toast to Naruto-sama's ambition and vision~!"
