Two years had passed, and the shinobi world had gradually stabilized.
Under the prevailing peace, more and more people believed that Konoha's choice was the right one.
During this time, in the Hyuga house, countless pairs of Byakugan eyes were focused on Ryujiro.
"Ryujiro, are you serious?" Hiashi asked solemnly.
Not only him, but all the other Hyuga clan members also looked at Ryujiro in disbelief.
"Hiashi-sama, what Hinata said is true," Ryujiro replied earnestly. "I plan to take Hinata to another world."
Hearing this, the gathered Hyuga clan members gasped in shock, their eyes filled with amazement.
Another world? Does that mean there are worlds beyond the shinobi world?
They knew that Ryujiro had already gained power beyond any human, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a god.
They couldn't comprehend Ryujiro's actions with common sense anymore.
Is that so? Hiashi's heart was in turmoil. So, there are other worlds beyond this one.
"I can agree," Hiashi finally said. "But you must promise me one thing."
A few months later, Konoha celebrated a joyous occasion—Ryujiro and Hinata's wedding.
The Konoha 12 all attended, offering their blessings to the couple. What Hiashi had requested was, in fact, this wedding.
By now, Hinata had grown into a beautiful young woman, her development envied by both Ino and Sakura.
They couldn't help but compare themselves, feeling a pang of self-consciousness.
Under the gaze of many, Ryujiro held Hinata's hand as they walked down the aisle.
The wedding guests applauded, offering their blessings, and even the villagers outside the Hyuga residence played music to celebrate the couple.
No one was surprised that they had reached this point.
"We've waited long for this day," one guest remarked.
"Hinata-sama and Ryujiro-sama are finally together. They truly are a match made in heaven."
"If not for Ryujiro-sama and Hinata-sama, the peace we now enjoy would have been unthinkable before."
Everyone saw the couple as a perfect pair, their strength enough to awe the entire Shinobi world.
Hinata looked at Ryujiro, her eyes brimming with tears of happiness. Ryujiro wiped away her tears with a smile, saying,"Why cry on such a beautiful day?"
"Come on, let's go greet our old friends," he said, leading Hinata into the crowd to mingle with their friends.
When Neji saw Hinata in her wedding dress, a tear of emotion escaped his eye.
He had always respected Hinata, but he also regarded her as his sister. Seeing her as a beautiful bride stirred something within him.
"Hinata-sama, you are more radiant today than ever before," Neji said, his voice filled with warmth.
Hinata smiled at him, saying, "Thank you, Neji."
At this moment, Ryujiro noticed Naruto sitting alone, quietly eating. Ryujiro sat beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Naruto looked at Ryujiro, a bit dispirited, and said, "Ryujiro, I used to say that becoming Hokage was my dream, right?"
"Yeah," Ryujiro nodded.
"But now I've changed my mind. I want to be a ninja who is loved and recognized by everyone, like you," Naruto confessed. "But... I find it really hard."
"Surpassing you is really tough," he added with a sigh.
This wasn't just Naruto's sentiment; it was also Sasuke's.
Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Ryujiro.
But just looking at this man made him feel powerless, as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
With a sharp "smack," Ryujiro lightly slapped Naruto on the back of the head.
"Why did you hit me, Ryujiro?" Naruto grumbled, rubbing his head.
"I did it to wake you up. If you know something is impossible, why dwell on it?" Ryujiro replied.
"With your current abilities, focus on what you can do—protect Konoha, protect the villagers. Don't forget your dream."
"Becoming Hokage will also earn you everyone's recognition and show your worth. And besides, no one in this world can surpass me."
The last statement sounded a bit boastful, but it was undeniably true. Even Naruto and Sasuke didn't believe they could surpass Ryujiro.
Naruto fell silent, but he finally understood. All he ever wanted was to be a ninja recognized by everyone.
Whether it was becoming someone like Ryujiro, a Hokage, or a Jonin, as long as he could help others, that would be enough.
Ryujiro reminded him not to forget his original dream and to do what he could.
"I've made up my mind, Ryujiro. I'm going to be the next Hokage!" Naruto declared firmly; his eyes full of determination.
Seeing this, Ryujiro couldn't help but smile. That's more like it.
However, shortly after Naruto's declaration, Sasuke stood up, saying coldly, "The next Hokage will be me. You'll have to wait your turn, Naruto."
"What?!" Naruto exclaimed. "You arrogant jerk! You think you can be Hokage? Not for another 200 years!"
Watching the two bicker, Ryujiro sighed helplessly. As expected, you two are a pair of bickering rivals.
The wedding lasted about two hours, after which most of the guests left.
In a brightly lit room, Hinata sat on the bed, her face flushed as she felt Ryujiro's intense gaze, making her cheeks burn even more.
Suddenly, Ryujiro jumped on bed, and the room was soon filled with soft, melodic sounds.
—
On a certain mountaintop, Ryujiro held Hinata's hand and asked, "Are you ready?"
Hinata nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Hinata was filled with curiosity and excitement about the other world Ryujiro had mentioned. What would this new world be like?
"System, open the Dimensional Gate," Ryujiro commanded.
Gradually, a radiant light formed into a portal. As the portal appeared, Hinata and Ryujiro exchanged a glance and then stepped into the glowing light together.
As their figures completely disappeared, the portal vanished as well.
