The family meeting lasted until midnight, before Hyuga Hiashi completely organized some recent events into scrolls and stored them in the dark compartment behind the bookshelf.
Although Ryosuke understands that these files are like diaries, if someone with a heart finds out, it will cause more serious consequences.
But after all... Few people can record everything clearly in their minds like him.
He can do it, but others may not be able to do it, so it is necessary to record important things in some special ways to prevent them from being forgotten.
So, Ryosuke didn't hold back.
As usual, Hyuga Hiashi left first and went back to the room to rest.
In the study, only Ryosuke and Hinata, who hadn't spoken since the meeting just started, were left.
"This time... I'm fine."
Just turning her head, Ryosuke was about to ask her what she didn't understand about the content of this meeting, when Hinata's voice sounded.
Ryosuke was taken aback by her serious look, but quickly nodded in relief.
Every time he carefully recorded the content of the meeting, Hinata also began to slowly follow their footsteps and thinking, and began to understand what they said in the meeting content, and understand some directions behind each decision.
Compared with Naruto, who had a miserable life experience and lived alone since childhood, Hinata is still relatively naive.
So even though the two are also affected by Ryosuke, they grow at different speeds.
However, since taking up the concept of family, Hinata's thinking has improved significantly, and it is no longer the same as before, only pursuing strength and fighting for some false names.
"So……"
Ryosuke stood up, and now that she understood, this long-lost family meeting tonight was officially over.
"and many more……"
But Hinata stopped him.
Turning his head in doubt, Ryosuke stopped standing up and sat back down again.
"In addition to what my father said, there is actually another incident that happened in the village recently." Hinata explained, "But maybe it's not that important, so my father didn't tell you."
"I know, you've been paying attention to Uchiha Sasuke."
Under the faint light of the desk lamp, she looks serious, and she really has a Hyuga Hiashi attitude, "A Genin who just graduated, although he is the orphan of the Uchiha clan, is not so worthy of attention for his father."
"But I know you seem to have some concern for him, so you have been paying attention to him."
"He hasn't come to school recently, it seems that he has successfully graduated."
"graduated?"
Ryosuke was a little surprised, "His Sharingan awakened?"
In a short period of time, Uchiha wanted to have the strength to defeat Chūnin, and he felt that there was no other possibility except Sharingan.
After all, in a relatively comfortable environment, it is not easy to make a self-breakthrough.
Like Ryosuke, he has mastered many secrets in the original timeline, and coupled with his family background, he has many directions to learn from, and improve himself in the boring sublimation.
But Uchiha Sasuke is different, he is just a rookie who has never even been out of the village.
Even if he has good talent and family background, his vision and no one to guide him have limited most of the possibilities of his growth.
"perhaps."
But Hinata's answer was a bit vague, obviously she didn't have exact information, "After you didn't go to school, Sasuke also took leave of absence as often as you."
"However, since Mizuki-sensei came to our class as a tutor for the practical course, he has been very close to Mizuki-sensei, or... Mizuki-sensei has been very close to Uchiha Sasuke."
"Recently, Mizuki-sensei seems to have disappeared, but someone in the school saw Uchiha Sasuke wearing a Genin forehead protector."
"Oh?"
There was a little interest in Ryosuke's eyes, "Although I graduated, didn't the whole school report it? I'll let someone look into this matter."
Generally speaking, there will be corresponding announcements posted on the school bulletin board for early graduation, including the application for early graduation and the result of the application.
Just like Naruto before, when he applied for graduation, the announcement caused quite a stir and attention.
Even Uchiha Sasuke, who failed to pass the graduation examination some time ago, also made an announcement.
But this time, it was obviously an accident that didn't get the school's announcement, just like in the original timeline, Naruto defeated Mizuki.
Regarding this point, although Hinata is the future head of the Hyuga family, due to her age, she has not been able to mobilize some of the power of the family, especially the more important matters of the intelligence department.
Therefore, she has no way to get exact intelligence information.
"So... is there anything else?"
Seeing Hinata stop talking, Ryosuke knew that she had already told everything he knew, but he still took this opportunity to ask.
But this question does not refer to Uchiha Sasuke's affairs, but to her own affairs.
But Hinata didn't seem to intend to say more to Ryosuke. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head silently, jumped off the chair and onto the floor, "It's been hard going out, take a good rest tonight, good night."
As she spoke, she walked out, leaving behind Ryosuke.
Seeing Hinata's stubborn posture, Ryosuke shook his head helplessly, but his smile was full of relief.
There was no doubt that something had happened during his absence.
Most likely, it's about the Caged Bird's seal.
After all, the time for the Li Clan Association to start is only a few short months, so it is reasonable for Hinata to start taking action.
But her actions don't seem to be going so smoothly, and Ryosuke can see this from the way she gets along with Hyuga Hiashi.
In the past, Hinata has always maintained a respectful but a little scared attitude towards her father.
Although she has changed in character later, she still has a shadow of her father's strictness.
But judging from tonight, her attitude seems to have changed a bit recently.
Even Hyuga Hiashi, as a father, deliberately avoided contact with Hinata, and didn't even participate in dinner.
But it was agreed at the beginning that she had to do this by herself, so Ryosuke didn't ask directly, but made a sideways check to see if there was anything he could help with.
But it seems that although this little daughter-in-law is young, she still has a good face and is quite responsible.
He was very stubborn and didn't ask him to help a little bit, wanting to take this matter by himself.
"But Caged Bird, it's not easy to solve."
Ryosuke sat for a while by himself, and after tidying up the study, he also turned off the lights and left.
He tried to think about it from Hinata's point of view, but it wasn't easy to solve.
Early the next morning, Ryosuke had just finished his breakfast.
Hinata hadn't even left to go to school when she heard someone coming to pass the news that Uzumaki Naruto was waiting at the gate of the clan again.
Since their team's accident, Uzumaki Naruto has been coming to the Hyuga land to find Ryosuke almost every day.
But because the news of Ryosuke leaving the village, is a secret.
On the surface, he asked for leave to study at home, so Hyuga Hiashi has been shirked by people, and he failed to meet Ryosuke.
Under Hinata's slightly complicated eyes, Ryosuke put on his out clothes and left.
This time, he doesn't plan to meet Naruto in the clan land.
After something like this happened, Ryosuke wasn't sure if the surveillance around Naruto would be summoned again.
And now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has not returned.
Konoha's mission to the Kingdom of Nami was a few days behind Ryosuke.
Now in the village, Utatane Koharu and Nara are the principals on the surface, but behind the scenes, there is a Shimura Danzō.
Among these three people, Ryosuke, the two principals on the surface, is more at ease, but Shimura Danzō behind the scenes is very dangerous. The matter of bringing Jinchūriki into the Hyuga tribe is more sensitive in this period.
In order not to touch this guy's nerve, Ryosuke chose to find a place outside and chat with Naruto.
As for...not meeting Naruto.
Ryosuke felt that this choice would affect the friendship between them.
Although Shimura Danzō is a troublesome guy now, compared to other people in the ninja world, he still can't get on the stage.
So Ryosuke's attention to him is actually not as high as Naruto.
Stepping through the gate of the Hyuga clan, what Ryosuke saw was an extremely gray face.
The morning sun was pouring down from the sky, but Naruto, stood in the shadow of the wall.
Time seems to have returned to the beginning.
Not long after graduating from ninja school, Naruto also came to him once.
At that time, he was assigned to a good team, full of energy and sunshine. He was just about to leave the village to perform more important tasks, and he couldn't wait to come to him to share his happiness and joy.
It was almost a year later, when I saw Naruto again, he matured a lot, but he didn't have the original smile.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Naruto raised his head. After seeing Ryosuke's figure in his blue pupils, his gloomy expression was finally touched, "Long time no see... Ryosuke."
Walking up the hill with strides, Ryosuke followed closely behind Naruto.
As he expected, the village is very wary of Naruto whose seal is loose.
Without Third Hokage making a final decision, Konoha's senior management sent several Anbu people to follow him and monitor his situation.
As for this, they unexpectedly made a decision, a decision that seemed natural from Ryosuke's point of view, but an incredible decision from the point of view of Konoha's senior management.
That is, for this surveillance, they did not hide Naruto.
Instead, through Hatake Kakashi's mouth, tell Naruto that someone will follow him to prevent him from going berserk again and not being able to control the power of the tailed beast.
This is a trust in him.
But this trust is relatively rare for Konoha's senior management, especially without the command of Third Hokage.
"They will only stare from afar, they will not approach, and they will not eavesdrop on our conversation, you can rest assured."
Naruto said, with a very forced and stiff smile on his face.
Although he was very sad and wanted to share this matter with his friends, he didn't want to be too intense so as not to affect Ryosuke's emotions.
Naruto cherishes this few friends very much.
Especially...after this incident.
"Recently, I took a long trip and left the village. Because this news is only known inside our family, so my father has been sending people to evade you." Ryosuke nodded and explained why he came to find people so many times, Can't see anyone.
Hearing his explanation, Naruto was stunned for a while, "So that's the case, I thought there were some restrictions that I couldn't do, because of my identity... I will keep this matter a secret."
While talking, the two had reached the top of the mountain without knowing it.
On the stone wall of the back mountain of Konoha Village, there are statues of Hokage carved in the past.
The emergency shelter in the village is also inside the back mountain.
So now the mountain under their feet is actually empty inside.
"It's so nice, a quiet village."
From the mountain, you can clearly overlook the whole village.
The village under the sun looked peaceful and beautiful, and Naruto couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that Grandpa Third Generation also left the village recently, for the sake of the alliance."
"I believe that after the alliance is reached, the village can live in peace and stability for a few years without worrying about the disturbance of the war."
Because the alliance of the Kingdom of Waves has been reached, this news is no longer a secret, but a major news to stabilize the situation in the country.
"Yeah, the signs of war will stop temporarily and usher in a longer-term peace." Ryosuke nodded, ignoring the dust on the ground, sitting on the edge of the cliff, enjoying a moment of beauty.
The atmosphere quieted down.
After waiting for a long time, Naruto spoke again, "...you should have heard about me, right?"
Staring blankly at the village in front of him, Ryosuke was quiet for a while, and then turned his head to look at him standing there, "Ah... I heard, sorry, since you are a ninja, sacrifice is unavoidable."
In the absence of acting, he is not very good at comforting people, so he thought for a long time.
"Of course I know!"
Facing Ryosuke's words, Naruto yelled suddenly, but quickly suppressed his emotions, "Sorry..."
But the tears couldn't help but flow from the eye sockets down the cheeks.
From the moment he returned to the village after failing the mission and woke up in the hospital, he had endured it for too long.
Whether it was at the funeral ceremony or facing his other teammates Uesugi, Mr. Kakashi, and Mr. Iruka, he did not shed tears.
But in front of Ryosuke, he couldn't help his emotions a little bit.
After all, he was the first person other than Grandpa Third Generation who recognized him and was willing to be contacted by him.
"Since... since I am a ninja, of course I will be prepared to sacrifice. I am ready to leave the village to perform tasks other than D-level."
Tears mixed with snot, fell one by one, Naruto lowered his head and clenched his fists, "But... Even if I'm prepared, I still can't accept it."
"Rin is like a big brother to me, to Uesugi and me. He is different from Mr. Kakashi's cold outside and hot inside. He is very reliable, always very confident and sunny to give us encouragement and encouragement. courage."
"But thinking about never... never seeing Rin again, he died in front of me, and he left to cover me and Uesugi, I really can't accept it."
"This is the first time I have a new understanding of death. I used to attack the enemy and take their lives with a sword. Because of my different positions, I don't have any burden."
"But this time, when the people around me were killed by Shinigami in order to protect me, when I experienced the pain, I found that I was actually very different from taking other people's lives and being taken away by others. I'm not ready yet, I..."
"I don't want to be a ninja anymore, Ryosuke."
