Chapter 27 An Awkward Misunderstanding
It's Saturday, and Hinata wakes up in her bed.
My tummy is rumbling; hmm, it's time for a hearty breakfast.
Good morning, Father.
Hinata, wearing her pajamas, walked out of her room and into the living room.
Spring has arrived, and the warm sunlight shines in through the window, making the room cozy.
"Hinata, come and eat."
Hiashi raised his head from reading the newspaper and spoke gently to Hinata.
On the table were three bowls of noodles, two baskets of steamed buns, and four cups of soy milk.
These are all Hinata's breakfasts.
"I'm starting to eat."
Because Hinata had been eating this much for a long time, she used to be shy and would steam, but now she was able to face it calmly.
Moreover, eating more can enhance one's physical fitness, which suggests that it wasn't a dream that night.
I've been feeling hungry lately, so now I can finally eat my fill comfortably.
Mmm, steamed buns are the best!
Meanwhile, Hiashi, who was secretly observing his daughter under the newspaper, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Oh dear, why has my daughter suddenly increased her appetite so much?
Even if the Byakugan is awakened, this shouldn't happen.
Could it be something done by the people of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village)?
But Hinata also said that the girl from Kumogakure only kidnapped her and didn't do anything else.
After examining Hinata, the top doctor at Konoha Hospital said that she had entered a growth spurt and was naturally eating more than before.
but!
No matter how hard the Konoha's medical team tries, they can't figure out why there are so many more.
A four-year-old child can eat two to three times the amount of food an adult would eat, and their stomach doesn't change much.
Even the Akimichi clan doesn't have this ability!
However, there are still benefits. Hinata's strength has improved, and she can even hold her own against Neji in battle.
Neji: Does anyone in the family understand?
The young lady accidentally fainted after sparring with me, and since then her appetite has become abnormally large.
Now she's stronger than me, and I even feel like she's going easy on me during sparring.
This is utterly upside down!
Hinata finished her breakfast in about fifteen minutes and let out a burp.
Well, I'm about 70% full, but that's enough. I can't surprise Father too much.
Neji: It's alright, I wouldn't be surprised if you ate as much as you want now.
"Father, may I go out and visit my friends today?"
The month-long confinement has ended, and Hinata's recent behavior has been very...friendly, so Hiashi can't really refuse her with any reason.
But her friend... could it be that Jinchūriki?
That night, the crimson figure flashed through Hiashi's mind, but the next moment was the image of him saving his daughter.
Oh well, I'll explain to the Third Hokage later.
Judging from the Third Hokage's attitude before, they probably wouldn't have too much of a grudge against Hinata, after all, our Hyuga clan isn't like the envious side...
"Alright, let Che take you there."
Hiashi rubbed his temples and agreed to Hinata's request to go out.
"Thank you, Father!"
Hinata bowed to Hiashi, then skipped out the door.
Drive carefully!
Hiashi shouted.
Ever since Hinata was kidnapped that day, Hiashi has begun to reflect on his relationship with Hinata.
In truth, as a father, he still loves his daughter very much, but such love is absolutely impossible in the strict clan environment of Hyuga.
Given his daughter's shyness, he felt he had no other option but to be strict with her.
Besides, his own nephew, the exceptionally talented Neji, had been imprisoned as a caged bird.
If Hinata didn't perform well, he wouldn't have the face to have a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother.
However, unexpectedly, the kidnapping actually made Hinata open her eyes and... awaken her potential, allowing him to openly express his affection for her.
Outside, Hyuga Tetsu led Hinata toward Naruto's house.
"Miss, I'll leave you here. I'll come pick you up this afternoon."
Uncle Tetsu led Hinata to the front of the apartment building. Naruto had previously told Hinata about his family's identity.
"Okay, goodbye Uncle Tetsu."
Hinata shyly said goodbye to Uncle Tetsu and then went into the apartment building.
Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded on the door, but it wasn't anyone coming from inside.
Instead, it was a cry for help, and the voice didn't sound like Naruto's.
Hinata didn't know what to do, hesitated for a moment, and then activated her Byakugan.
With veins bulging, the scene inside the room appeared before their eyes.
!!
Naruto sat on a boy he didn't know, pressing down on his legs, seemingly doing something naughty!
How could this be?! I was here first!
Pshaw, there's no future for boys!
As Naruto's friend, I must step in to stop this dirty play from happening.
Although Hinata's thinking isn't quite that sharp, that's roughly the gist of it.
"ha!"
Hinata pushed the door open with all her might.
With a thud, the door slammed against the wall, and Naruto and Sasuke in the living room turned around to look at Hinata in a strange posture.
Huh, maybe I was wrong?
(〃'▽'〃)
"Ah, Hinata, what brings you here?"
When Naruto saw that it was his best friend, he quickly put Sasuke's legs down and got off him, feeling a strange sensation.
Don't get the wrong idea! Naruto and Sasuke were just playing around when they started fighting, and then Sasuke was taken down by Naruto.
Then Naruto asked Sasuke if he had taken the medicine.
The result was predictable. Given Sasuke's personality, how could he possibly bow down to Naruto?
The result was that Sasuke was brutally abused by Naruto and screamed in pain.
To the spies nearby, it was just two little kids playing around, so they didn't bother with them.
So when Hinata arrived, she encountered this scene.
Hashirama, inside the sealed space, felt the same way, after all, he probably felt the same way when he went out with Ban and was caught by Mito.
Kurama: Hey, hey, hey, you were already married back then, and you were still going out every day to fool around with the evil Uchiha Madara. It's a wonder Mito could tolerate you.
You have no idea where Mito vents her anger when she's upset...
"Um... my house arrest is over, so I came to visit you."
Hinata's face was flushed, partly because she felt inexplicably shy when she saw Naruto, and partly because she felt ashamed of her thoughts and actions when she came in.
"Oh, I see. You've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is my little brother, Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke's legs were still very sore, but he needed to uphold the pride of the Uchiha clan.
He struggled to his feet and nodded to Hinata with a reasonably polite expression.
Are they members of the Uchiha clan?
Hinata looked at Sasuke, whose face was full of pain but who was trying to act cool, and remembered how the clan members described the Uchiha clan.
"The Uchiha are just a bunch of red-eyed lunatics. The redder their eyes are, the more severe their illness."
"They always use the glory and pride of the Uchiha clan as an excuse to do some pretentious things."
"It can't compare to our powerful, side-effect-free White Eye at all."
"If the young lady encounters the Uchiha clan... if she doesn't want to cause a conflict, she should just go along with what they want."
The last sentence was written with Hinata's personality in mind at the time, but now...
Just look at the door lock that was just pushed open.
Hiashi: My daughter has the potential to become Hokage! Hahahaha.
