"Milady," said another shinobi as he looked at Ino and Naruto, as well as the dead bodies of two rogue ninjas and Naruto's injured hand.
He could grasp what happened there when Ino's mother also appeared behind Ino and Naruto.
"Thank goodness you both are safe."
Speaking as she gave them both a hug, Ino's mother admitted to feeling a little scared because she had seen everything that had happened but was too far away to help Naruto and Ino.
The young girl, whose almost-kidnapping eyes had turned into Byakugan due to emotional turmoil, was watching the scene from where she was standing.
"Wait, that person has helped me and was injured; please help him." The little girl shook the person who appeared to help her out and pointed at Naruto.
"Help him out, I'll swear it, that big brother fought the enemy alone and saved me."
The girl, even at such a young age, was aware of what would occur next and that her older brother, who had saved him, would be questioned, something she did not want to happen.
"Thank you, Hanabi-Chan." Ino's mother recognized the young girl in front of her.
She was Hanabi, the younger sister of Hinata and another heir apparent to the Hyuga clan, who this year was around 7 years old.
"Well, it's fine, but how about big brother Naruto?" As she considered how Hanabi could have known about Naruto, Ino's mother was astounded by the words.
But Ino's mother was unaware that Hanabi, who used to admire Hinata a lot, was always following her sister.
As a result, she had been stalking Naruto, whom her sister was madly in love with.
But at this precise moment, she understood how excellent Naruto was, despite being labeled the social outcast and the weakest member of the class.
He did not give up on Ino and used cunning to defeat the opposition and kill two Genin. Despite his injuries, he did not take any chances and defended Ino alongside her.
"Tha..."
Hanabi wanted to thank Naruto but the guy behind her dragged her as he bow to Ino's mother before leaving the area, where Ino's mother looked at her child and Naruto who was sitting on the ground stamping his head on the wall, trying to holding everything in.
As a seasoned Shinobi, Ino's mother understood what Naruto was going through and walked by his side, holding his head, and giving him a bear hug.
"Let it out, and everything will be clear in your head, so it's okay."
Hearing that, Naruto couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited several times before calming down and getting a bottle of water from Ino's mother.
"Well done, young Naruto, you are getting the hang of being a shinobi." Ino's mother gave Naruto a pat on the head as she looked at Ino and grinned, thanking him for what he had done.
As a result of the boy's refusal to let his teammate perish and determination to live, she had a very different opinion of Naruto.
The majority of shinobi lacked this kind of resolve, and it appeared that they were not alone. Naruto had a natural inclination toward it; it wasn't something he chose for himself, but it is apparent from all of his actions, which is a difficult talent to find for the Will of Fire.
So, she naturally felt really happy and started to admire Naruto a little for his actions.
"Miss Yamanaka..." When Naruto got to his feet again, he saw several shinobi approaching as they looked around and spoke to her, which caused her expression to change.
"Naruto, Ino, you both go with them; I'll go first." Ino's mother spoke to Naruto as she jumped and followed the other shinobi.
Ino, who had returned to her reasoning, looked at Naruto and nodded.
"Let's go then." She spoke because she understood why Naruto was waiting for her, and then they both left in the direction of Hyuga Manor, which was directly in front of them.
Although they might need to jump through their wall to be quick about it, there won't be any issues as long as they have the shinobi from the Hyuga clan by their side.
Naruto and Ino entered the Hyuga clan head mansion and found Hinata and Hanabi talking with each other, while all the given elders were sent inside the main room for a meeting with various important elders.
"Naruto!" When Hinata saw Naruto approaching, she grinned. In contrast, Ino had initially gone completely unnoticed until Hinata had thanked Naruto for saving Hanabi.
Ino was then given a bear hug by Hinata, who then expressed her fear at learning of Naruto's involvement with those Rogue shinobi. It appeared that the party would end today, but Hinata was still terrified.
"It is alright, given they were just taken out due to the surprise element on my side, although I heard Ino's mother talking and I had to thank Hanabi-Chan for saving me there."
Hanabi, who blushed slightly at Naruto's words, nodded in thanks as he grinned.
Although she was worried in her heart, given that her elder had said Naruto would need to report what happened to the Hokage today.
Given the circumstances, Hanabi the victim would not be permitted to accompany Naruto; therefore, she first told Hinata, a member of the Hokage's section, everything that had happened so that Hinata might accompany Naruto and be able to assist him as well.
"I'm sorry, big brother Naruto, but it was me who got caught and put you in this situation." Hanabi spoke out as she looked at Hinata, who was most worried about this aspect and felt guilty in her heart.
"You little one, they were top-tier Genin, at least in terms of strength and speed, and do you think you, who aren't even masters of one art, could defeat them without getting caught?"
Naruto laughed as he patted her shoulder and told her to relax about everything and that he would be fine after getting caught like this.
"I hope you will have some nice teammates in the future and will rely on them; after all, someone, no matter how powerful he is, alone will find it hard to survive."
Naruto laughed as he thought back to his previous existence; after all, that is how things work out in any world.
