Chapter 42

　　"Hinata? Is she going to pray too?"

　　Naruto couldn't help feeling curious when he saw Hinata, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, passing by, but he didn't approach him to strike up a conversation, not because he was embarrassed, but because there was a middle-aged man beside him.

　　The middle-aged man has the same white eyes as Hinata, a face with Chinese characters, and a loose-looking white robe on his body, giving people an illusion of calmness and prestige.

　　This person is none other than Naruto's future father-in-law Hinata Hyuzu.

　　In order not to cause trouble for Hinata, Naruto gave up the idea of ​​going up to strike up a conversation.

　　Because if he remembered well, at this time Nizuru didn't like his eldest daughter very much, not only because of the strength of the other party, but the most important thing was Hinata's soft and weak character.

　　"You obviously don't like it, but you still bring the other party to pray for blessings?!" Seeing that the two were about to disappear from sight, Naruto seemed to be complaining, and kept muttering on his mouth.

　　...

　　On the other side, shortly after passing by Naruto, Hyuga Hyuzu looked at her daughter and frowned subconsciously: "Are you feeling unwell? I saw that you have been out of your mind since the very beginning."

　　"Ah?! Father, what were you talking about just now?" Hinata who was startled hurriedly recovered, and asked again.

　　Seeing this, Rizu's face was a little displeased: "I'm asking you if you feel uncomfortable."

　　"No, no, I just saw someone I know." Being stared at by Nizuru with stern eyes, Hinata answered subconsciously in a low voice.

　　"People you know?"

　　A trace of curiosity flashed across Rizu's face. In his opinion, his daughter should have never had contact with anyone outside the family.

　　But soon, Hizuka's face darkened again: "Since you know someone, why don't you go say hello? If you ignore him like this, others will think that the eldest daughter of our Hyuga family is very unruly."

　　"Hold... sorry, Father..."

　　Seeing that Hinata immediately lowered her head instead of assuring herself that she would not do it again next time, Nichizu sighed inwardly with a look of disappointment on her face.

　　...

　　At this time, Naruto, who didn't know that Hinata was being reprimanded by Hizuru because of him, was taking the two little guys around at this time.

　　Perhaps because this is the world of Hokage, where there are all kinds of weird things, the two little guys, Lalu Lasi and Pichu, who look very special in appearance, have not become the focus of everyone's attention.

　　Even though there were frequent people pointing fingers at this, no one showed a look of fear or vigilance.

　　Instead, two beautiful young ladies ran over to take a photo with Lalu Lasi and Pichu.

　　Naturally, after obtaining the consent of the two little guys, Naruto did not refuse.

　　In Naruto's view, doing this will not only allow the two little guys to integrate into the world faster, but also allow him to strike up a conversation with the young ladies, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

　　And after being separated from the ladies and sisters, Pichu held the apple candy given to him by the girls and sisters, and looked very happy.

　　Only Lalu Lasi pouted with gusto, as if dissatisfied with Naruto's previous actions.

　　what the hell? ! He clearly agreed to take me and Pichu out to play, but he kept focusing on others. Isn't it just two more pieces of meat on the chest? Dirty!

　　Naruto, who didn't know that he had been labeled as obscene, went around at this time, and finally brought Pichu and Lalulas to the front of the temple.

　　Looking at the small temple full of people, as if even the threshold was about to be stepped on, Naruto complained: "It's like this every year. There are so many people that they obviously don't come here in normal times."

　　But after all, Naruto still relied on his dexterous body to squeeze into the small temple with an area of ​​less than a thousand square meters together with the large army.

　　Unlike the entrance of the temple, although the inside of the temple is also crowded, it appears to be orderly.

　　Under the organization of a floor-sweeping monk, the tourists either took out the incense money, or went directly to pray for the lottery, even Naruto, who handed over the incense oil money that Kushinai gave him in the morning to a monk Afterwards, he followed the crowd to the place of prayer.

　　I saw him put his hands together, and after making a wish for the next year in his heart, he shook the slightly faded copper bell in front of him with his hands, which meant that he wanted to get rid of the troubles of this year.

　　After Naruto finished all this, he was surprised to find that Lalu Lasi next to him also imitated him, shaking the bell in front of him while praying, and his expression was even more focused than him.

　　...

　　Afterwards, Naruto asked Lalu Lasi curiously if he had made any wishes, but Lalu Lasi prevaricated directly by saying "this is a girl's secret", which made Naruto sigh with emotion that his daughter has grown up Yes, everyone has their own secrets.

　　After leaving the temple, Naruto did not go home directly, but at the strong request of Lalu Lasi, he came to Konoha's largest commercial street and snack street.

　　"I said it's such a cold day, why do you still come here? My hands are about to freeze." Naruto heaved a sigh of relief at Lalu Lasi's strong request, and rubbed his hands with dissatisfaction.

　　Unlike the New Year in the previous life, most shops will be closed on the first day of the first month.

　　And on this street in Konoha, not only did it not close down, but it was even busier than usual.

　　Although it is not as popular as the temple he just came out of, it is also the second largest crowd gathering area in Konoha.

　　"Come, come, everyone, come and see, The first sweater knitted in the new year, not only keeps warm, but also has a special meaning when given to relatives and friends."

　　"Look, take a look, the first marshmallow in the new year, eat it, you will definitely maintain a good mood for a year, a good sign."

　　"The silk that was just shipped from the Land of Winds today is the only one, and the quality is the first."

　　The shopping street is full of all kinds of selling voices. Although it sounds very fraudulent, Naruto dismisses it.

　　It's like a mall just opened, and they like to celebrate it, so they launch various discounts and promotions.

　　In the new year, people also like to boast about their own products and sell them at cheap prices. In this way, both buyers and sellers can use this to make auspiciousness.

　　"I really don't know why you came here, Lalu Lasi. This group of people are obviously talking nonsense with their eyes open. What about the first knitted sweater of the new year? It's only been one night. Where is he going to knit?

　　And that marshmallow, I don't know how much I sold today, and I shamelessly said that I sold the first one. You see, just after someone bought the so-called first one, another fool ran away to buy..."

　　Speaking of this, Naruto stopped talking, because that fool was Pichu who was still lying on his shoulder before.

　　emmmmmmm, idiot, what about you, you can't save me some face, you spent my lucky money (this year's lucky money belonging to Naruto was distributed to Pichu and Lalulas, so, Pichu's lucky money ≈Naruto's lucky money.).

　　Naruto covered his face, but when he wanted to catch Pichu back, he suddenly found that Lalu Lasi, who was following closely behind, had disappeared.
