Chapter 184 Good Night (Subscription Request)
"Sasuke is still the same, he is a weakling and has a big addiction to being beaten up every time he comes back from a mission..."
"The fifth generation has always wanted me to replace him and teach me how to deal with things in the village, but I refused. Forget about being a Hokage..."
"Tsunade-sensei is very good to me. I heard that she has a good relationship with my mother, but she said that my personality is more like my father..."
"I can feel that Sasuke is still quite lonely, just like me at the beginning, but I can get used to and accept that kind of loneliness, but he doesn't seem to be able to..."
It's been a long time since we last met.
In addition to the training this day, Ryosuke had dinner with Naruto again, and they chatted until late at night before saying goodbye to each other and going home.
They haven't seen each other for a year, and they have a lot of topics to talk about,
but in fact, basically the two of them talked about some training-related things, with only a few daily things interspersed.
As for some dirty things of conspiracy and calculation, such as the various hidden dangers left by the Sarutobi Hiruzen era, they did not mention a word, as if they knew nothing.
There is no need to mention some unhappy things on such a happy day.
Both Ryosuke and Naruto tacitly avoided those things.
After all, practice, cultivation, and becoming stronger are the main themes of their lives.
At the beginning, perhaps Ryosuke was influencing Naruto's mentality.
But later, after Naruto came into contact with many events that made people physically and mentally exhausted, he slowly began to like the simple thing of cultivation.
Both of them like to practice, but it is not an escape from reality. They just don't want to waste too much time on things they don't like.
Perhaps it is because of this that they can become one of the few friends in each other's lives.
Late at night,
There are almost no pedestrians in the quiet streets.
Walking on the road, Ryosuke can occasionally feel that the Anbu ninja hidden in the shadows will look at him, but quickly move away, probably recognizing his identity.
I don't know... Will Hinata and the others wait for me?
He was a little worried and a little expectant.
Ryosuke didn't expect to go home so late today, so he didn't report this to his family in the morning.
Although he knew that Naruto would spend a lot of time to share the changes in his training after not seeing each other for such a long time,
he didn't expect that more time would be spent on practicing the Sage Mode.
And... it's not finished yet.
It's a bit arrogant to learn the Sage Mode in one day, but Ryosuke does have a chance to do it.
It's just that out of caution and prudence, he didn't start the third stage of practice so rashly - drawing natural energy into the body and refining the Sage Chakra.
However, although he didn't complete the practice of the Sage Mode, he was very satisfied to be able to perceive the high-level energy substance of natural energy.
The road always has to be taken step by step.
Besides, if the step is too big, it's easy to get hurt.
Moreover, in the process of perceiving natural energy today, Ryosuke unexpectedly awakened the ability that only the Samsara Eye has, which is also a pleasant surprise.
"Still waiting for me..."
When he arrived at the door of his house, he carefully pushed open the door and entered the house.
Ryosuke walked through the courtyard at a glance and saw the faint light in the house.
A trace of warmth flashed across his face, and then he felt full of guilt.
The expectation in his heart slowly faded, but the guilt slowly rose.
Although it was a bit selfish, he actually expected someone to wait for him at home, so he had expectations all the way.
But when he really saw someone waiting for him to go home, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Next time if this happens again, maybe I have to come back and tell you first. I am also a family person now."
With this thought, Ryosuke approached the house lightly.
Only one small lamp was still shining.
In the living room, the girl with long haze blue hair was facing away from him, lying on the table and seemed to be sleeping.
And in front of her, there were many covered plates.
Although the lids on these plates were tightly covered, Ryosuke shrugged his nose lightly and easily understood that they were filled with the food he usually liked to eat.
Maybe...
He didn't come back for dinner, so most of the food he usually likes to eat was left behind.
It should be Hinata's plan for him to have it as a midnight snack.
Thinking of this, Ryosuke felt a little warmer in his heart, and he couldn't help but lift his feet and walk closer.
The sleeping girl was leaning her face on her folded arms, her eyes were closed, and her slight breathing was not even. After all, this sleeping posture didn't seem comfortable.
Although her sleeping face was not as lively as when she was awake, it was more peaceful and elegant, making people reluctant to wake her up and destroy it.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Staring at this familiar face that made his heart feel beautiful, Ryosuke fell into deep thought.
Time seemed to stop here, and he felt a little tangled in his heart.
Maybe I should wake her up, then explain why I came back late today, and let her go back to her room to rest.
No, I should send her back to her room and then leave.
As soon as this idea came up, a voice in Ryosuke's heart stopped him.
This is too low EQ, and would you be willing to destroy such a delicate sleeping face? Of course not.
It was like he was asking himself a question, but Ryosuke couldn't help shaking his head.
Maybe... I should pick her up quietly, send her back to the room quietly, cover her with a blanket, and then turn off the light and leave.
His palms unconsciously raised, and he touched his chin with his fingers, and a picture appeared in Ryosuke's mind.
Wait,
I should kiss her cheek first, and then turn off the light and leave.
Suddenly, he added another clip.
Then, he nodded with satisfaction and chuckled.
This scene seemed much more romantic, just like filming a TV series.
Ryosuke approved of his own idea.
But soon, when he raised his arm and planned to pick up his sleeping wife in front of him according to the warm picture in his heart, his palm stopped in mid-air again.
Wait, what if she wakes up? Maybe she will be scared.
Normally, if a sleeping person is picked up so suddenly, if he can sense it, he will definitely be scared, and Hinata is a ninja, and her sensitivity is higher than that of ordinary people.
She will definitely wake up.
Ryosuke was very sure in his heart.
Then... what kind of posture should I choose to hold her so as not to wake her up?
In fact, you can also try to use illusion to let her immerse in a beautiful dream for a short time.
But... if you do this, will she be angry?
After all, her husband came back so late, although he was not drunk, nor was he stained with the scent of a woman, but he was still late.
One after another thought emerged in his heart, making Ryosuke unable to continue.
He frowned in distress,
Even when he was practicing the Sage Mode, he had never been so entangled.
However, this entanglement did not make Ryosuke feel uncomfortable, but immersed in it.
"Hmm..."
And at this moment,
unconscious murmurs rose from the pink lips, and Hinata, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to notice someone's gaze, and slowly regained consciousness from the dream.
All of a sudden, Ryosuke, who was still standing beside her and struggling, became a little flustered.
What should I do? Should I use illusion to let her continue to sleep, or wait for her to wake up by herself?
In his impression, he, who had basically never given true love, was extremely bad at such tender things, just like he always felt pressured when facing the love of his father, Hyuga Hiashi.
But soon, he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Because Hinata had opened her tightly closed eyes and was staring at him straight.
Inexplicably, Ryosuke was a little nervous.
He stood up well, waiting for her to speak.
But Hinata's eyes were a little confused, as if she was still immersed in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
She kept blinking and staring at herself for a long time, and then she propped herself up uncomfortably and twisted her neck, "I'm back."
There was no questioning or inquiry as imagined.
"Ha I'll go and heat up the food for you. I didn't expect it to be so late."
After sitting up, Hinata first opened her mouth and yawned, and then wanted to stand up very tiredly, "Auntie Liang has to get up early to cook tomorrow, so I'll let her go to bed first."
It seemed like she explained casually why she was sitting here.
There were still some hairs on her cheeks, which were stuck to her when she slept on her arm.
"I'll do it myself, you go to bed early."
The explanation in her mind suddenly became useless, but Ryosuke certainly couldn't let her heat up the food.
As if she wasn't fully awake yet, Hinata paused and sat down again.
Lazily lying on the table, she shook her arm, "Then you heat it up yourself."
Nodding, Ryosuke was about to pick up the plate on the table, but as if he thought of something, he hesitated and said, "I'll take you back to your room first."
"No...you go quickly."
The voice was very weak,
Hinata yawned again, waved her arm to signal Ryosuke to leave quickly, "I'll wait for you here."
Looking at her tired eyes, Ryosuke didn't insist, but quickly picked up a few plates on the table and went to the kitchen to heat them up.
In just less than five minutes, he came back with hot meals and two sets of bowls and chopsticks in his hands.
Although he had eaten a lot at night, Ryosuke didn't feel hungry at all now.
But in order not to disappoint her kindness, he decided to eat something.
In front of him, the girl had already half-closed her eyes and looked dazed.
In the silent living room without the sound of other people,
the weak light only illuminated the light beside the square table.
Ryosuke and Hinata sat opposite each other.
They did not feel repulsive to the darkness around them, but felt that the feeling brought by this "small" light was very warm.
"Would you like to have some midnight snack together?"
The extremely gentle voice sounded from Ryosuke's mouth. He wanted Hinata to sleep so obediently, but he couldn't help asking.
"Well... forget it. I haven't exercised much recently and I've gained some weight."
With a slight nasal voice, Hinata lay on the table, supported her cheek with her palm, and whispered: "Just eat, I'll watch you eat."
She stared at Ryosuke, but her sleepy look made it difficult to tell whether she was awake or sleepwalking.
"Sorry, I should come back first and make it clear that I will be home late tonight."
He stuffed food into his mouth one mouthful after another, but facing the look from the girl opposite, Ryosuke couldn't help but explain, "Something delayed me during the day, so Naruto and I can only chat at night."
There was some guilt in his tone, he felt that he had given too little.
Some things have always been selfish.
"... It's okay, you came back so late, it must be something important about training."
After a long time, Hinata opposite seemed to have heard his words and reacted, "But Naruto should have made great progress, after all, there are two of the three ninjas guiding him, maybe, I guess you guys also had a fight?"
"Yes."
Ryosuke nodded, did not deny this, "He has made a lot of progress."
"You win."
In a very affirmative tone, Hinata raised a beautiful smile and said again.
"Of course."
Ryosuke nodded again.
"Hey As expected, my Ryosuke is the most powerful person in the world."
The tone unconsciously became a little happy, but after saying it, she smiled a little embarrassedly.
But as she laughed, Hinata's upper and lower eyelids began to fight again, and soon, there was no sound afterwards.
Ding...
In the living room, only the subtle sound of the soup spoon touching the porcelain plate remained.
Helplessly watching the girl in front of him fall asleep with her cheek in her hands, Ryosuke quickly ate the last few bites of food and ended this midnight snack that he was reluctant to end.
Simply wiping his mouth and palms with a tissue, Ryosuke got up and came to Hinata's side.
"I'm full, it's time to go back to the room and sleep."
Ryosuke whispered softly in her ear.
He stretched out a palm to support her shoulder, and then bent down to put his arm against her calf.
With a slight force, the sleeping girl was picked up by him like an exquisite rag doll.
Although she was in a daze and half-asleep state, Hinata still naturally hooked her arm around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Taking steady steps, Ryosuke carried her to the room in a very standard princess-carrying posture.
Putting this delicate and lovely doll on the soft bed, he covered her with a blanket and used his fingers to brush away the hair stuck on her cheek.
"You are so nice..."
Opening her eyes, Hinata said with a silly smile.
She was not drunk, and although she was drowsy, she still felt every move of Ryosuke very clearly.
"Good night."
With a gentle smile, Ryosuke stood up and was about to leave the room.
But before he took a step, he felt his hand being held by Hinata.
He turned his head in confusion, and when his eyes met Hinata's eyes, he seemed to be able to feel her inner thoughts inexplicably.
After a little hesitation, Ryosuke still bent down and touched her forehead lightly with his lips as he thought in his heart.
"Good night."
He spoke again.
And this time, Hinata did not hold him again, but replied in the same gentle voice: "Good night..."
