Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 056

After settling on the terms, Hayato returned home, brought Jiro out, and dispelled the genjutsu cast upon it.

“Jiro!” Inuzuka Kaku’s voice was filled with unconcealed excitement and joy.

Freed from the genjutsu, Jiro’s eyes regained their usual clarity and brightness.

When it saw Inuzuka Kaku not far away, it shot out like a bolt of lightning, leaping directly onto Inuzuka Kaku’s shoulder, gently licking his cheek with its wet tongue.

“Hahaha, that’s great, Jiro, you remember me,” Inuzuka Kaku’s face broke into an incredibly brilliant smile, a stark contrast to his usual dejected look.

“Alright, the touching reunion ends here, Uncle Inuzuka, let’s go,” Hayato slowly walked up, speaking calmly.

Actually, he didn’t really need a ninja dog as a companion; it just irked him to return Jiro for free.

After all, the other party had provoked him first.

Inuzuka Sai nodded slightly, “Okay, we can leave now.”

“Wait, I’m coming too,” Shota suddenly came to Hayato’s side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Inuzuka Sai didn’t raise any objections to this.

Of course, he had no right to object; he himself had followed Inuzuka Kaku to the other party’s home.

Inuzuka Kaku, like a child who had done something wrong, quietly followed behind his father, his eyes full of guilt and self-reproach.

He knew that he had indeed caused considerable trouble for the family this time.

Thus, the four people and one dog left Hayato’s house together, heading for the Inuzuka Clan’s Ninja Dog Breeding Base.

After a while, they arrived at their destination.

The fence was gently pulled open, and the few people walked in.

They continued forward, and soon arrived in front of a large gate.

“This is our Inuzuka Clan’s puppy nursery. Newly born puppies are carefully looked after here,” Inuzuka Sai introduced to the group.

Two Inuzuka clan members stood at the entrance, each accompanied by a ninja dog.

“Open the gate,” Inuzuka Sai said calmly.

However, the two guards didn’t act immediately; they exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

“Lord Sai, this… these two…” One of the guards hesitated to speak.

“I will explain this to the clan head later. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens, open it,” Inuzuka Sai waved his hand, cutting off the other’s words.

“Alright,” the guard shook his head helplessly, finally opening the heavy gate.

Inuzuka Sai stepped aside, gesturing for Hayato and the others to enter.

Hayato walked into the nursery with ease, greeted by the sight of many people busily tending to the newly born ninja dog pups.

Once their vital signs stabilized, Inuzuka clan members would come here to choose them as companions.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, seeing a wide variety of ninja dog pups of all colors and breeds. At first glance, it was hard to tell their potential.

“You can choose carefully, no rush, but remember, there are only two spots,” Inuzuka Sai reminded him from the side, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

Hayato, however, waved his hand nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, I keep my word.”

With that, he squatted in front of various breeding kennels, carefully observing each pup.

Inside these kennels, a warm glow emanated, and newborn pups lay waiting to be fed.

Some were still diligently sucking milk from bottles, while others were sound asleep, lost in sweet dreams.

Hayato rubbed his chin, his gaze sweeping over the pups one by one. However, he merely glanced at the light-colored, ordinary-looking pups and didn’t linger.

The other staff members saw Hayato’s actions and didn’t know what he intended to do, but they didn’t disturb him.

After all, he was just looking around and hadn’t done anything out of line.

However, just when everyone thought Hayato would continue to look aimlessly, he suddenly stopped in front of a dark blue breeding kennel.

His eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some rare animal, and he leaned in to observe carefully.

Inuzuka Sai, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly looked somewhat flustered when he saw Hayato stop in front of that kennel.

‘Damn it! Why are those few pups still here?’ he cursed inwardly, a look of regret appearing on his face.

Over there, Hayato was fully focused on observing the two pups in the kennel, a smile of unknown meaning playing on his lips.

“Don’t tell me, they really do look alike, haha.”

One of them was entirely black, with only its muzzle and abdomen a vibrant orange;

The other had black legs and upper torso, with the rest of its body blue, and a pair of eyes that glowed red, like two brilliant jewels.

He slowly stood up, turned to Inuzuka Sai, and said softly, “I’ll take these two.”

Inuzuka Sai inwardly cursed, a bitter smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

But he still braced himself and walked forward, forcing a smile.

“Hayato, why don’t you look at the others? These two are a bit special…”

Hayato frowned upon hearing this: “What do you mean?”

Seeing the situation, Inuzuka Sai could only explain helplessly: “Actually… these two are the descendants of the young clan head’s ninja dog; they’re just temporarily housed here.”

“Young clan head?” Hayato quickly recalled, was he talking about Inuzuka Tsume?

In that case, wouldn’t their father be Kuromaru?

Kuromaru could speak human language, so maybe they could too in the future! Wouldn’t that be even better?

If you hadn’t said anything, I might have hesitated, but now there’s no need to hesitate.

So, Hayato’s frown deepened, and his expression became displeased: “What? Are you going back on your word?”

Shota also stood beside Hayato, father and son staring intently at Inuzuka Sai, giving off a ‘we’re about to cause trouble’ vibe.

“Wasn’t it you who proactively brought up the matter of choosing a ninja dog?” Hayato continued to question.

“That’s right, but…” Inuzuka Sai stammered in response.

“Good! I fulfilled my promise and came here with you! And then you tell me no?” Hayato refused to back down, taking a few steps closer to Inuzuka Sai.

“The Uchiha hate nothing more than people who don’t keep their word!”

Cold sweat broke out on Inuzuka Sai’s face.

If only Hayato had come alone today, it would have been easier to bluff, but Shota was here too!

And Hayato wasn’t just some ordinary Uchiha clan member! His grandfather was the Uchiha clan’s Great Elder!

Seeing Inuzuka Sai remain silent, Hayato pressed even harder: “So! What’s your answer?”

After a fierce internal struggle and weighing the pros and cons, Inuzuka Sai finally let out a helpless sigh: “You can take them.”

Seeing the other party finally back down and compromise, Hayato’s expression changed at light speed, that warm, spring-like smile reappearing on his face.

“That’s right, that’s the demeanor of the Inuzuka puppy breeding supervisor, a man of his word.”

“We’re all part of Konoha, why distinguish between us? What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine.”

Inuzuka Kaku saw his father’s discomfited look and felt a pang of sympathy, so he stepped forward and whispered to Inuzuka Sai.

“Dad, do we really have to let them take them? What about the young clan head?”

“Shut up!” Inuzuka Sai scolded, glaring at Inuzuka Kaku, “Don’t you see who’s responsible for this today!”

“In that case! Open it!” Hayato pointed to the breeding kennel and said to Inuzuka Sai.

Inuzuka Sai shook his head helplessly, slowly walked to the breeding kennel, and opened the small door with a key.

Hayato stepped forward and scooped the two pups into his arms. The two pups seemed to like him very much and didn’t put up any resistance.

Then, he and Shota swaggered out of the Inuzuka Clan’s breeding base.

Shota bent down slightly, his gaze following the two adorable young ninja dogs in Hayato’s arms, “Hey, Hayato. Why don’t we give them names?”

The corners of Hayato’s mouth subtly curved upwards, forming a warm and mysterious smile, “Names, I’ve already thought of them.”

He glanced at the black and orange pup in his left hand, “You’re the one, Houndour.”

Then, he turned his gaze to the black and blue pup in his right hand, “I caught a Riolu!”
