Chapter 92 The villain who becomes the savior
Chapter 92 The villain who becomes the savior
The next day, the fourth generation's inauguration ceremony finally came as scheduled.
Early in the morning, most of the residents of the village gathered in the square in front of the Hokage Building and looked forward to it.
Most of the space on the ground was given to the villagers, while the ninjas showed their talents and filled the surrounding roofs, balconies, and telephone poles.
The moment Minato Namikaze appeared, everyone couldn't help but start cheering. The atmosphere was extremely warm for a while, and the noise resounded through the sky!
However, Namikaze Minato, who was involved, unexpectedly smiled a little reluctantly, with a trace of undetectable disappointment flashing in his eyes.
The disciple he had placed high hopes on did not show up today after all.
He failed to secure direct help in restoring Hinata Inaba's reputation, and Hinata Inaba has not been seen in public since.
He originally hoped that the child would stand behind him during this ceremony, but in the end, there were only three old people behind him: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Koharu.
Of course, becoming Hokage has always been his dream. Now that his dream has come true, he should be extremely happy, but for some reason, he always feels a little more disappointed.
At this time, Hinata Inaba was sitting in the courtyard of Senju's house, sitting in front of the porch, leisurely holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, blowing a sip and tasting it, enjoying herself.
His clairvoyance can see very far, and he can also see the Hokage Building from here, so he won't join in the fun.
He expressed regret for not being able to stand in that position behind Minato.
But he is obviously different from the Prince Ming who can forgive everything in the original work. Even though their goals are the same, the methods they choose to achieve them are destined to be completely different.
At this moment, he was sitting in the courtyard corridor and needed to look up slightly to see the full view of the Hokage Building.
And next time, maybe he will change his perspective.
……
After the Hokage's inauguration ceremony, Hinata Inaba's life remained the same.
Not only him, but many people in the village were surprised to find that their lives seemed to have not changed at all after the fourth generation came to power.
The key positions in the village are still those old people.
Kakashi has been running to the Senju Garden more frequently recently, and has secretly brought many ninjas who loyally support Hinata Inaba.
So much so that Hinata Inaba was confused.
"Don't you have to go to work?" He couldn't help but ask Kakashi that day.
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Kakashi's eyes, which seemed to never wake up from sleep, couldn't help but sink even more completely, and his eyes seemed to be filled with helplessness.
"Minato-sensei originally planned to let me take over as the new ANBU captain. To do this, I resigned from all my previous positions. However, the third generation disagreed, so I took a leave of absence."
Kakashi rarely spoke for a long time.
After hearing this, Hinata Inaba just gave a noncommittal "Oh" and had no other response.
If it had been a few days ago, he might have been disappointed and anxious when he heard the news, and would have tried every means to influence and admonish Namikaze Minato.
But now, he just smiled in relief and remained calm.
Without the influence of external variables, Namikaze Minato still failed to escape the shackles and fate in the original work.
After he took over, except for the position of Hokage itself, nothing seemed to change around him.
But this may not be a bad thing for today's Hinata Inaba.
Kakashi was so free that he came to see him three times a day. Naturally, the tasks assigned to him were quickly figured out.
"I have determined Lin's whereabouts. I should be able to bring her over to you the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"it is good."
Hinata Inaba nodded in agreement.
In a flash, two days later, Kakashi brought Nohara Rin to the courtyard of the Senju family as promised.
Nowadays, Ba has become numb to the fact that all kinds of people come to visit his home every day...
<divclass="contentadv">Lin was very excited when we met again after a long absence.
"Inaba, woo! It's so good to see you again!"
Hinata Inaba supported her and could clearly feel that the little girl had become thinner.
Looking at Kakashi next to him who still had a dead-eyed expression, Hinata Inaba vaguely guessed the reason why Kakashi would complete his task so efficiently and actively this time——
As a Jinchuuriki, Nohara Rin may not have had a good time in the village during this period.
"Sorry, it took so long to come see you."
Hinata Inaba apologized and hugged the girl gently, feeling that this energetic girl who was always optimistic and cheerful in her impression cried suppressedly in her arms for the first time.
"Inaba, I thought I would never see you again! I thought I would never see you good friends again!"
Lin clutched Hinata Inaba's shirt tightly and buried her head on his chest. It took a while before she finally calmed down.
Although Namikaze Minato tried his best to save Lin's life, he obviously failed to protect Lin's right to live freely.
For the Jinchuriki, the village still adopted a simple and crude isolation treatment as always.
And because Lin's personality is much softer than Kushina's, she doesn't even have the chance to occasionally break out to meet her boyfriend like Kushina did.
Even though she is as optimistic and cheerful as Lin, she has been tortured by this isolation and is getting thinner day by day.
Hinata Inaba patted Lin's back gently, and did not rush to mention the Thunder God's Mark, but comforted her first.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, we are all here, and we will not leave you behind. Trust me, everything will be fine in the future."
The gentle caress and comfort allowed Nohara Lin to finally release all the emotions she had suppressed for a long time.
After crying for a while, she raised her head and looked at Hinata Inaba's shirt that was wet on her chest with embarrassment.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Inaba, I soiled your clothes."
Even though she was still sobbing, Nohara Rin's first thought was still to apologize for soiling Hinata Inaba's clothes.
This girl is still as kind and gentle as before, and her essence has not changed in any way because of the sealing of the tailed beast.
Even Kakashi didn't understand why Lin had to be treated like that just because there was an extra tailed beast in her body?
Isn’t she a member of the village and everyone’s partner?
Hinata Inaba kept a gentle smile, took the trouble to comfort Lin, and even brought the desserts from the Tomoe family to borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha.
He and Kakashi kept chatting with Lin until the evening, and it wasn't until Lin had to go back that he took the time to get down to business - leaving his own Flying Thunder God mark on Lin's back.
Kakashi had to send Lin back to the surveillance circle in the village at night.
Before leaving, Lin smiled softly, "Don't worry about me. I feel much better with you here. Thank you very much. Thank you, Inaba."
This time the girl plucked up the courage and took the initiative to kiss Inaba on the side of her face.
Hinata Inaba also promised her, "In the future, I will try to have Kakashi pick you up regularly, or I will use the Flying Thunder God to find you. Don't worry, we are always here."
When Nohara Lin left, she obviously looked much more lively than when she came.
At that moment, Hinata Inaba couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, feeling a little emotional for no reason.
In fact, he initially wanted to find Lin just to keep Flying Thunder God, to lock on to the girl's traces and to firmly control her.
It's obvious that every move he makes is selfish and utilitarian, a perfect villain's behavior!
But the end result is that every action he takes accurately redeems these poor people in the darkness.
Without this afternoon of getting along and enlightening her, it would be hard to imagine what Nohara Rin would eventually become in isolation.
He is the ultimate villain, but inexplicably becomes his savior in the end.
It can only be said that the top management of this village is really performing stably and they are still trying their best!
