Unlike Naruto, Hinata only had high level talent but she was quite good. It was still very much mind boggling for Aoto of how Naruto having a higher talent than Hinata wasn't able to get to celestial magic and also very slow to start on Eldritch magic. The reason how Aoto and others knew that Hinata knew Celestial magic was because when she was trying to conjure mandalas on the second week, the mandalas came up in white color. 

At first everyone was shocked but they didn't mind. The colors of the mandalas wasn't really important as it could be any color. But when Shikuro struck him with his whip which was basic magic, the whip bounced back and it vanished away by itself. This took everyone by surprise. 

Especially Chomei. 

Chomei by now was the most knowledgeable one, which was both surprising and not. After she turned herself into a girl/woman, she went deep into reading and knowing stuff around. She quickly turned out to be the 'grandma' of the group and would be the annoying one. 

She would call out everyone for their wrong magic and Naruto would of course get the burnt of it. Everyone had collectively acknowledged though never publicly admitted that Naruto was the idiot, but it was Chomei who had said 

"Watch very closely. Naruto will be the better sorcerer among all of us. So get down the high horse." Of course she had said that when Naruto wasn't around. Everyone was taken aback and almost didn't believe her. But Aoto said. 

"Among us, he does have the highest talent." 

From then on Chomei was the official grandma of the library and she was the one who pointed that Hinata might have Celestial magic. Her father was surprised and then ashamed. He had by now started learning magic and the more he learned, the more he understood why Aoto had once said how little he knew of the universe and he multiverse. 

Their problems now looked infinitely small when everything was taken into account. And knowing that his daughter had the talent for the magic everyone was craving for made him proud. He promised himself to be a better father. 

After Aoto came to know that Hinata had the celestial talent she was asked to study more of the celestial magic and Naruto was also forced to go through Celestial Magic. Of course Naruto cried about it as he thought it would be a greater homework but Aoto wouldn't listen to his cries. 

That was how the last few weeks went after Hinata started the training, Asuma showed up one day at the shop. 

"Aoto.. I have talked with the Hokage.. You will be provided the documents and the seal of Hokage too."

"Really? That is so good. Thank you Asuma-san." Aoto was excited. The seal of approval meant that he finally had he green light to go outside Konoha with a treaty of cooperation with a village that belonged to the five powerful nations. 

And the village Aoto asked for was the Village hidden in the Rocks. Iwagakure. After much thought and push, Aoto chose this village as the next target and also because it was the mission of the system for the next upgrade. 

He needed to have a proper business settlement with one of the five villages and then only he could wish for an upgrade to the shop. He had asked to be the ambassador of Konoha and be the one with the good will. Though the one with Kumogakure turned to be a disaster and a set back, it didn't mean that Konoha wouldn't try. 

Today finally Hokage had given the approval. 

"Mention not. Hokage-sama will send Guy as the bodyguard this time if its okay with you." Asuma said. Aoto nodded as he himself would take a small team of his own. Last time Corazon and John went, and this time Shikuro, Kisuke and Corazon was chosen. Kisuke because he was handling the finances and the manager of the shop, while Aoto would be the ambassador. 

"Yes. It is fine." 

Aoto talked with Asuma a bit more and spoke of the current situation of Konoha. They talked of their Palicko and how everything was better with the summon of his around. Aoto even teased him about Kurenai as he had seen him with her multiple times now and Asuma just replied that they were taking it slow. 

A few days later, Guy showed up with his iconic green suit and strapped up bag on his back. He looked animated to say the least. 

"Aoto-kun.. The youth burns through the veins. I hope you are ready." 

"Uh.. Guy-san, you don't have to be so worked up. The role this time is not to fight but sign a treaty between us and Iwagakure." 

"I know but if anything goes wrong, I and you will take care of it." Guy said. As Aoto was talking outside the shop, Kisuke, Corazon and Shikuro. Torune wanted to come but was instantly shut down by Shikuro. 

And this made Naruto too shut his mouth about going with Aoto seeing how Shikuro made Torune silent.

"I will take care of them." Chomei had said. 

After everyone got ready and introduced each other, everyone soon set off for the grand journey again. They were met again with vast stretch of forest and after moving for a few kilometers, Aoto rotated his hand and a portal opened. Guy unlike last time was curious. 

Hiruzen actually wanted Kakashi to go with the team but he was in an important mission and couldn't be called back, and since only Guy had been with Aoto last time, he could only chose him. He didn't have much hopes from Guy but asked him if he could get anything from the techniques Aoto had used last time. 

Shikuro and others didn't seem to be bothered by what Aoto had done and just walked straight in and at the end Guy followed them. Coming out, Shikuro instantly brought out the map. They had come close to the border of Iron again. Its border was the land of Waterfalls and then beside that was the Land of Earth. The Land of Earth had no borders with land of Fire and had to cross through the land of Grass to reach the either side.
