Chapter 112 Brother-in-law, I'm here too!
Fortunately, when Naruto opened his eyes this time, what he saw was not a hotel room, but a clean and comfortable bedroom.
There was also a family photo of the three of them on the bedside table.
Familiar bedding, familiar furnishings, familiar wooden door—
Naruto sprang up from the bed with a swift movement, looked around to make sure everything was alright.
He grinned widely, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from his shoulders after a whole day of anxiety. "Great! The dream world is fine!"
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, and his azure eyes regained their sparkle of excitement.

On the other side, in the audience seats.
Sasuke and Sakura appeared in a dark theater space.
The two opened their eyes almost simultaneously and found themselves sitting upright in their familiar audience chairs.
"Phew, here we go again."
Sakura stretched and leaned back in her chair, looking around. Her gaze then fell on something nearby. "Kiura? You've arrived."
She greeted the slender red-haired figure with a smile.
Two rows away from them, a red-haired girl was sitting in a seat.
Xiang pushed up her glasses, turned around at the sound, waved to Sakura, and gave her a warm smile: "Sakura, hello! Yes, I just arrived."
After spending time with Naruto, Kaori has become much more cheerful than before. Her eyes crinkle when she speaks, and she is no longer as reserved as she used to be.
Sasuke nodded slightly in greeting, then looked around.
He noticed that the audience seemed a bit quieter than usual tonight, with a certain silver-haired, masked figure missing, which puzzled him.
However, before he could think about it, Sasuke felt a familiar spatial fluctuation and they both looked up at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Sakura instinctively raised her hand and smiled, "Kakashi-sensei, you're here!" She thought Kakashi was late and was about to greet him warmly, but when she saw the scene before her, Sakura froze on the spot.
It wasn't Kakashi who appeared at the entrance to the audience seating area.
Instead, a black-haired girl with flushed cheeks and a slightly flustered expression exclaimed: "Huh? Hinata?!"
"Huh? I'm here again?"
Hinata blinked and timidly looked around.
Hinata was seriously injured in her battle with Neji during the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds and has only just recovered and been discharged from the hospital today.
She never expected that the moment she stepped out of the Konoha Hospital and lay down to rest that night, she would find herself back in the dream world!
"call.-.
Hinata let out a soft breath, trying to calm her suddenly racing heartbeat.
This wasn't her first time in the audience, but the nervousness she felt each time was still hard to shake off.
Especially when she thought about some of the "scenes" that made her blush and her heart race when she last came here.
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
"hello!"
Xiang stood up and waved enthusiastically to Hinata, who had just appeared, from several rows of seats away.
While cheering for Naruto in the preliminary rounds, she witnessed Hinata's duel with Neji.
Xiang has a strong liking for this seemingly weak girl who fights bravely to the very end against a powerful enemy.
Hello—
Hinata waved somewhat awkwardly and gave Asaka a polite but timid smile.
However, she clearly had no impression of Xiang.
Seeing that the two looked like strangers, Sakura quickly stepped in to introduce them: "Hinata, this is Kaori, Naruto's clansman, the child Naruto rescued in the Forest of Death. Kaori, this is Hinata Hyuga, a classmate from the Ninja Academy, and also our friend~"
"A member of the Uzumaki clan?"
Hinata was taken aback when she heard this, and then she realized that the red-haired girl in front of her and Naruto were relatives of the same clan!
She quickly and formally greeted Xiang, her voice both tight and soft: "I'm so sorry, I was rude earlier! So you're Naruto-kun's clansman—nice to meet you, please take care of me!"
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Just then.
The previously empty screen gradually began to display images, and a soft glow illuminated the first three rows of the audience.
Upon seeing this, Sasuke, Sakura, Kaori, and Hinata immediately quieted down and all turned their attention to the screen.
In the scene, a familiar figure is rushing down the stairs in a flurry of activity.
As soon as Naruto went downstairs, he saw Kushina and Kaori sitting side by side on the sofa chatting in the living room.
"Naruto, what's wrong? Why are you all in such a hurry?"
Kushina blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Naruto strangely.
Naruto jumped down the last step, landed steadily, scratched his head, and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, it's...it's nothing!"
At this time.
"Knock knock knock~"
A few soft sounds.
There was a knock on the door.
"Oh, we have guests?" Kushina raised her eyebrows and looked towards the door.
Before she could even move, Naruto jumped three feet high: "I'll go open the door!"
After saying that, he shot off in a flash.
Naruto rushed to the entrance and flung open the door.
Who is it?
He eagerly poked his head out, but his words abruptly stopped.
A pretty young girl stood outside the door.
In the soft morning sunlight, Hinata Hyuga was dressed in a moon-white kimono with a light purple sash around her waist. Her long, black hair was carefully combed and hung quietly down her back.
She looked elegant and dignified, clearly having dressed up specially.
Hinata was holding an exquisite purple gift box in her hands, nervously twisting her fingers.
"Naruto-kun, good morning."
Hinata met Naruto's deep blue eyes, and a blush rose on her pretty face.
Naruto was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a wide smile: "Oh, it's Hinata!"
He scratched the back of his head, his voice full of joy, "Haha, good morning!"
The last time Naruto went shopping with Hinata in his dream, Hinata's thoughtful and gentle care left a deep impression on him.
Upon seeing each other again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth.
Suddenly, a familiar head peeked out from behind Hinata, looking into the room.
"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm here too!"
Is the Fourth Hokage home?
It was Hinata's cousin, Ichigo Neji.
Neji grinned and put his arm around Naruto's shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.
Naruto looked speechless: "Why is this guy here too?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
"Ne... Neji-nii—"
Hinata was both embarrassed and anxious. Her pretty face turned red all the way to her ears, and even her snow-white neck was tinged with crimson.
She stamped her feet in panic, her voice trembling, "No, stop talking nonsense!"
in the audience.
Xiang looked at the scene on the screen and stood up from her seat in shock, as if struck by lightning.
"Brother-in-law?!"
Xiang rubbed her ears in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.
She pointed at the Byakugan-wielding boy clinging to Naruto on the screen, her voice suddenly rising eight octaves as she unleashed a barrage of questions.
"Why is this guy calling Naruto 'brother-in-law'?!"
"Naruto got married?"
"How old is he?"
"That can't be right?!"
[Ding! Xiang's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Xiang's mouth was agape, her chest heaving rapidly, clearly indicating that she had suffered a tremendous shock.
Hinata, standing next to her, wasn't in much better shape.
Hinata, sitting in the audience, had a bright red face and was so ashamed and angry that she curled up in her seat like a ripe shrimp.
"sister-·-"
She lowered her head in a daze, feeling as if her mind was filled with echoes of "brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law," and all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks, as if they were about to steam.
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
"Xiang, calm down!"
Seeing that Xiang had jumped up in surprise, Xiaoying quickly pressed her back into her seat and patted her hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry! Naruto isn't married."
Xiang was taken aback, her nervousness subsiding slightly: "Not married? But just now..."
Sakura and Asaka winked. "The Hyuga clan intends to get engaged to Naruto."
"Engaged?!"
Xiang Gang's sigh of relief instantly returned, and she jumped to her feet. "An engagement isn't right either!"
[Ding! Xiang's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Xiang, don't get agitated!"
"Don't worry, it's just a dream. The real Naruto isn't nearly as sought after!"
Sakura patted her shoulder to comfort her, then turned to a slightly infatuated expression: "After all, Naruto in the dream is so handsome—"
The weight on Xiang's heart was temporarily lifted.
Xiang bit her lower lip, a dark thought suddenly flashing through her mind.
Fine, let's all go and like Naruto in our dreams!
That way, no one will compete with her for the real-life "Ah!"
As Xiang thought about it, she blushed and covered her face. Hinata, who was sitting next to her, had gradually recovered from her initial shock.
She secretly lowered her hands from her face, but still felt her cheeks burning.
After calming herself down a bit, Hinata couldn't help but curiously glance at Xiang.
At this moment, Xiang was covering her face with her hands, and through the gaps between her fingers, her bright red eyes glanced at the screen with a watery look, then quickly looked away, her expression both annoyed and shy. Hinata's heart stirred.
Naruto's reaction just now was way too exaggerated, wasn't it?
And the expression on Xiang's face right now...
Why does this seem so familiar?
Just then, Xiang seemed to sense the intense gaze from the side.
She turned her head and looked over, just in time to meet Wei Tian's probing gaze.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still for two seconds.
The blush on Xiang's face had not completely faded, and Hinata still looked shy and confused.
The two girls stared at each other, neither looking away for a moment.
A faint, invisible spark seemed to drift into the air.
