The White-eyed Princess Behind the Leaf's Curtain

While Fu Bo was still struggling to find someone, Hinata had been out for a long time.

It is different from the scene that ran out blindly in the memory.

This time, she came out on her own initiative, with a completely different mentality and so on.

You can view Konoha during this period more calmly.

There is no doubt that Konoha, which has just ended the war, is still in dire straits and is waiting for improvement. In short, many places are not good.

Fortunately, the war ended with Konoha's victory.

No matter how hurt they were during this process, it is all over now.

Everyone's face showed a smile that yearned for new life. Under the advocacy of the third generation, hope for a new life was rekindled.

The ninjas took on various complicated tasks one after another, busy but not chaotic.

Farmers, businessmen, etc., all performed their duties and temporarily forgot their pain.

On those flat streets, children of all sizes were playing. They did not understand Konoha's experience during this period, but they were still immersed in carefree play.

Some still remember the pain of the past.

They have no home to return to and only the cold orphanage for company.

Hinata looked at the commercial street that was getting busier and busier, feeling as if she was in another world.

In my memory, I haven't seen such a backward street for many years.

Even the flat stone path is full of the breath of time.

"Being behind, hurting, hoping...the only thing that can make people feel uplifted may be the emotion of hope." Hinata's steps gradually slowed down, like an ordinary child, walking around on the street. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene.

From the sparse crowds, you can still feel a lot of residual pain from the war.

But the smiles were more or less back on their faces.

In her memory, Hinata knew that in a few years, people in the village would seem to have forgotten the past, children would grow up in peace, and adults would forget their pain.

Everything is peaceful and peaceful, and looks like an ordinary village in the new era.

She used to wonder how ordinary people could be so forgetful, but now she gradually understands.Life is always full of hardships, especially in times like this, and people are not allowed to be immersed in pain for too long.

Fortunately, Konoha had the upper hand in the negotiations some time ago.

If Konoha's roots don't cause trouble in the future, it would be good to remain peaceful like this for a long time.

Unfortunately, you still need to make more preparations.

Hinata continued walking forward, preparing to cross the commercial street.

With her short legs now, it might be a little difficult to walk around Konoha, but visiting a third of it shouldn't be a problem.

We visited some of the more famous attractions, and also went to the commercial street to buy everything we needed.

When thinking about this, Hinata thought of something, touched her pocket, and her expression changed slightly: "I was careless."

Immediately her expression returned to normal.

It's okay, just get some money from Neji before you go out next time.

But Ningji is a bit young now, so he probably doesn't have much pocket money.

Or ask your father directly...

This idea was rejected as soon as it came up. Later, Hinata continued to think and decided to learn the job of a ninja in advance.

How to do it specifically can be planned later when you go back.

As for now, of course I will continue shopping. Even if I have no money, I should act as if I can take out the money at any time.

The aroma of barbecue came at an inappropriate time.

Hinata touched her pocket and felt hungry again, then her steps deviated and she changed direction with difficulty.

After a moment, she regretted it.

......

"White-Eyed Monster"

"She looks too scary. She must be a big monster like a fox. Everyone, hurry up and kill her."

Continuous curses were passed over, and right in front of these older children, Hinata watched all this in silence.

The timeline is a little earlier than in memory, but it is no different from memory.

It seems they are still the same people.

Is this considered fate?

At this time, Hinata didn't feel any panic. After ignoring those random thoughts, she quickly discovered the clothes of those people. Their clothes were a bit shabby, and the signs on their bodies...

Is it from an orphanage?

Maybe it can be understood a little bit.

In her memory, she was initially cowardly, introverted, and lacking in thinking. Naturally, she could not understand why some children would dare to bully a powerful ninja clan's eldest daughter.

All I remember in my memory is fear.

Now I understand that it was due to cognitive issues.

Children with parents are naturally told from an early age which people they should not mess with and which people they should avoid when meeting them.

Just like after Konohamaru followed Naruto in the village to cause trouble for a long time, Naruto received a severe beating, but Konohamaru was still fine.

Ignorance is not the same as stupidity.

It's just that many times the two are equated.

Facing Konohamaru, those who knew the severity naturally did not dare to provoke him more.

And if there is no protection, he will be beaten like Naruto.

In her memory, Hinata had seen Naruto being beaten many times, and the beatings were terrible.

Many times, she wanted to go up and help, but unfortunately she didn't find the opportunity.

Because Naruto ran a little fast, she couldn't catch up.

I wonder how Naruto is doing now

When Hinata was lost in her thoughts, the older children across from her thought Hinata was scared and said, "Let's go together. The white-eyed monster is scared. She must not be very powerful."

Hinata woke up from her memories, looked at the three or five children who were about to rush over, and said calmly: "If you bully others casually, be careful of kicking the iron plate, like now."

Ignorance is no excuse for making mistakes.

Since they chose to come here to bully her, from Hinata's point of view, it is very common sense to convince others with reason and let them know what they cannot do.

She is best at convincing people with reason.

But after Hinata spoke, those white eyes looked over indifferently, which made these children feel a little panicked and were shocked for a moment.

"This... this monster, with its terrifying eyes..."

Before they could adjust their mentality, a blond-haired child jumped out and shouted to them: "A group of people bully a girl, how shameless?"

Perhaps because he was confused, he didn't notice the stiffness of these children, and they were all too frightened to move.

The steps Hinata had just taken paused. She turned to look at the blond-haired boy, and the smile returned to her face for the first time: "Long time no see, Naruto."

"Hey, do you know me?"

The boy touched his hair stupidly, then turned to look at the group of children and said, "Anyway, I'm here and there's no way you can bully him."

"As expected, Naruto has been very responsible since he was a child," Hinata whispered, with obvious admiration in her eyes.

These words gave Naruto a lot of power at once.

Is this what the dean calls recognition?

He thought in his mind, feeling suddenly full and clean, and then rushed towards the children.

Bang bang bang dong dong dong

Naruto was knocked to the ground.

In front of him, the leader of this small group came to Naruto's head: "You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect her?"

He stood up tenaciously and said word by word: "I won't let you hurt her."

"Just you, hum..."

In the middle of his words, Hinata had already arrived here in a flash, and then kicked him out, sending him flying straight away.

佟

dusty.

Hinata naturally reserved her strength.

Thinking about it, the naughty kids in this era are very tough. She just reduced her strength, so she probably didn't kill her.

Of course Hinata didn't check carefully.

The strong one is self-confidence

The three-foot-tall little girl stood with her hands behind her hands, facing the group of naughty children, and said calmly: "You all come together. Even if you have one more burden and a huge disadvantage in numbers, I can still suppress you."

"Gudong"

The children turned their heads slightly, looked at the unconscious "boss" lying on the ground, and all swallowed.

After a moment of silence...

"run"

"very scary"

"The white-eyed monster is showing off its power, run away quickly."

Even the child who had just fallen was dragged away directly. Although he was stained by this, he should be grateful to the younger brother who dragged him away. After all, he took him away from this nightmare place.

Naruto, who had just managed to struggle on the spot, felt the cold aura beside him and couldn't help but panic.

Seeing them leaving like this, Hinata sighed boredly, then turned to look at Naruto and said, "Naruto, are you okay? Thank you so much for standing up."

"Ah haha, no, no, I actually didn't do anything. Don't worry, I have nothing to do now. I'm very fine." Naruto laughed, and the fear that had just arisen in his heart dissipated and was replaced by What comes is joy.

This is the first time someone cares about me so much.

It even made him feel a little unreal.

"But you just fell dirty, so you still need to pay more attention." After saying that, Hinata came over and helped to smooth his hair, with a serious and rigorous expression, and in her eyes was a concern that Naruto had never felt before, " Naruto-kun, please take good care of yourself from now on."

"Thank you... thank you." The boy lowered his head slightly, but the close distance made him feel a little panicked.

Suddenly, he thought of something and reached out his hand to try to cover the fox beard on his face, but unfortunately he was too sick to do anything.

The little girl didn't seem to notice this. After finishing arranging her blond hair, she let go and stood aside to look at it: "Actually, after tidying it up, it's quite... pretty."

She quietly swallowed the word cute.

Always take care of your friends' mood.

Naruto had felt a little empty just now, but after hearing Hinata's words, he couldn't help but smile, but in the end he was still mostly scared.

It's all so unreal.

like a dream

Is there really someone who calls his name and is willing to care about him like this?

Could it be...just a dream?

Naruto tried his best to stay calm and asked cautiously and cautiously: "Do you know me? Why are you so nice to me?"

"You are Naruto, and didn't you just stand up and kill me?" Hinata said matter-of-factly.

Although the actual situation is that the group of children were scared away by her, this process is not important and is treated as if it does not exist.

Then, she stretched out her hand and said: "Let's get to know each other again. I am Hinata Hinata, your friend. Please trust me, just like I trust you."

"But...they all say I am a demon fox, don't you care?" Naruto asked again.

Hinata had never seen Naruto like this.

In my impression, he is the one who can endure everyone's ridicule and still insist on his dream.

He is the one who can face all the confusion and still stand firm in his beliefs.

But now, he shows such caution and obvious hesitation.

It's not like him to be timid.

She smiled gently, pointed to the beard on his face and said, "Are you worried about the abnormality on your face? They also say that my eyes are a monster? No matter what they think of you, I I know that you dare to stand up when facing danger. In my heart, you are the most trustworthy person. Show up with the courage you just had and believe in yourself, Naruto-kun."

You were my light.

I am now willing to turn into a new light and take you out of the dark abyss.

Hinata expressed her kindness sincerely.

She understood Naruto's loneliness very well, which was also one of the reasons why she ran away from home. She might be a little willful.

She just hoped that her friend could feel such kindness during those days when he felt countless malice.

In fact, Naruto's perception of good intentions and malice was indeed very sensitive at this time.

He hoped countless times that he could not sense the malice, but the malice still came like a tide.

Until this moment, this simple kindness was released, making Naruto feel warm in his hesitation.

He couldn't describe the feeling of kindness, he just felt very warm in his heart, as if he had lived in a little sun.

He reached out and gently held the other person's hand and said, "I am Uzumaki Naruto, please give me your advice."

He tried hard to imitate the formal manners of those adults, but he just didn't quite get it right.

After all, at this time, he mostly looked at the groups of children with envy, or played alone.

It is difficult to recognize what is wrong and what is right.

Hinata didn't say much, just smiled tolerantly: "To celebrate our becoming friends today, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen together. It's a famous tourist spot in Konoha. I can treat you, but maybe I won't do it next time. Being able to pay.”

Naruto didn't quite understand why the other party said it was a treat, but couldn't pay this time.

He only remembered the treat, and his eyes were bent like crescent moons: "Okay, thank you, my friend."
