Konoha: The young son-in-law of the Hyuga family

"Ningji Hyuga failed to apply for graduation. It seems... the Uchiha clan is better. Neji is one class higher than Sasuke Uchiha. I didn't expect to fail."

"Look! Kiba Inuzuka is going to challenge Hinata Hinata again, and everyone's interest is very high."

"I didn't expect such a grand event to happen in peacetime today. I don't know if in wartime, everyone will be scrambling to graduate early as they are now."

...

The news of the alliance brought back by the third Hokage back to the village has spread throughout Konoha.

Nearly half of the forces in the ninja world have formed an alliance, including a big country like the Kingdom of Wind, which means that the era of peace has officially arrived.

It is no longer just a short and unstable truce period as before.

The whole village rejoiced at this hard-won peace.

But for these students who have not experienced the baptism of war in the ninja school, they don't know how valuable it is.

Instead, they paid more attention to Sasuke Uchiha's graduation than news of peace.

It was just some gossip, because Uchiha Sasuke has been asking for leave, so most people in the school did not pay attention to his situation.

But with the return of Sarutobi Hiruzen, after he was formally assigned to Uchiha Sasuke's formation, the news that he became Genin was confirmed.

Moreover, he was assigned to Uzumaki Naruto's team...

...

As autumn approaches, the sun hanging high in the sky exudes a sinister light.

In the practice field of the ninja school, the elite class is undergoing actual combat assessment.

"Bagua, 32 palms!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, there were muffled sounds one after another.

Standing in front of Hinata, a student who was trying to challenge her to be the number one in her grade fell down unwillingly.

The chakra in his body has been cut off, his limbs are even weaker, and there is no possibility of fighting again.

"This time, Hinata Hinata wins."

Mizuki's departure meant that the actual combat course had a new teacher.

This new teacher is a Jōnin who has rich experience in missions. He also served as a ninja guide and led the Ninja and Zhongnin to perform missions outside the village.

But for the ungraduated students, this kind of almost childlike teaching is the first time for him.

Announcing the results of this duel practice assessment with a blank face, the junior ninja took out the list of students and ticked them off, "Then... the results will be announced next."

"Hinata Hinata, 93 points in actual combat training, 96 points in ninja equipment assessment, 93 points in task drills, 1 points in actual combat comprehensive evaluation, No.[-]."

"Inuzuka Iba, 93 points in actual combat training, 87 points in ninja equipment assessment, 89 points in task rehearsal, 89 points 2 in actual combat comprehensive evaluation, No.[-]."

"Hyuga Ryosuke, 85 points in actual combat training, 85 points in ninja equipment assessment, 86 points in task drills, 3 points [-] in actual combat comprehensive evaluation, No.[-]."

...

Both the previous No. [-] in grade and the former No. [-] in grade have successfully graduated and left, and it is finally Hinata's turn to be No. [-] in this grade.

Although she is still relatively immature in fighting methods, and has not fully mastered all the secret arts of the Hinata clan, but because of the awakening of her bloodline and the influence of various abilities, she is already superior to children of the same age.

According to Ryosuke's observation, the only one in the same grade who has a chance to fight her is Inuzuka Kiba.

At the student stage, everyone has not yet developed their own fighting methods and awareness.

Most of the time, they rely on physical strength and various ninjutsu to win, so families with superior blood can always stand out in actual combat.

"Damn it, you bastard, I will definitely beat you next time."

Before school was over, Inuzuka Ya came over naively and spoke harshly to Hinata, "You are the coward who is the first in the grade and dare not apply for graduation... Guy, I will beat you one day."

Originally, he wanted to say coward, but after thinking about it carefully, Hinata was a girl, so he didn't say it.

"Wang!"

Sitting on Inuzuka's hair, Akamaru also yelled imposingly.

But their attitude did not give people a very fierce feeling. On the contrary, it made Ryosuke a little nostalgic, thinking of how he was in school in his previous life.

This kind of thing like a fight is relatively rare in this precocious ninja world.

But in front of outsiders, Hinata has always looked very imposing.

She nodded lightly, she didn't seem to care the slightest bit about Inuzuka's provocation.

But her attitude made Inuzuka even more angry. Unfortunately, he knew very well that he still couldn't beat this guy.

"Humph!"

Inuzuka gave a cold snort and turned to leave, and Akamaru on top of him also let out a cooperating "woof".

Looking at Inuzuka's back in a funny way, before Ryosuke had time to say anything, he heard Hinata next to him say, "Childish, it's just the first grade, there's nothing to argue about."

Ryosuke:?

He turned his eyes to Hinata strangely, "Didn't someone... also practice hard for this first grader?"

Ryosuke's words meant something.

Hinata, who was still cold and proud, froze when she heard his words.

Immediately, she turned her head quickly, "Let's go back quickly."

"Let's go."

Ryosuke shook his head and left the classroom without discussing this issue with her.

After going out, he always used to go back to school to take a look, which made him feel like returning to daily life after fighting.

You can calm your heart down and meet the boring practice.

But he didn't expect that when he returned to school this time, he would catch up with the actual combat assessment. After his strength improved, it became more and more difficult for him to suppress his ranking.

After all, many things about fighting rely on instinct.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom, Ryosuke noticed that Hinata hadn't followed.

Turning around, she found that she was still standing in place, maintaining the state just now.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Although Hinata was tilting her head, her eyes secretly looked at him from time to time, and her fingers seemed to be shaking unconsciously.

His eyes were a little puzzled, and Ryosuke didn't understand what happened.

He looked around the classroom and saw that there was no one else of note.

There are only the two of them who are still in the classroom, and the others have left the school long ago, or went to the practice field to fight in actual combat.

But soon, when he turned his observing eyes back to Hinata, it seemed that he remembered something, and he smiled helplessly.

Returning to her side again, Ryosuke stretched out his hand to take her unconsciously shaking palm, "Let's go?"

Although he was not very sure, he felt in his heart that this might be the answer.

"...You can still be saved."

A soft murmur sounded in his ears, and Hinata finally started to follow him.

"what?"

Pretending he couldn't hear, Ryosuke turned his head amusedly.

"nothing!"

Hinata looked a little annoyed.

But as she walked, her steps seemed a little brisk again, without the heavy look she saw when she just came back two days ago.

Is this... happy or not?

Ryosuke had some doubts in his heart, but he was smart enough not to ask.

However, he was still in a pretty good mood.

During the battle some time ago, the nerves and cold heart that had been tense were finally relaxed at this time.

Next... as long as you practice steadily and steadily, it is enough to improve your own strength.

"Cool...Master Ryosuke!"

But as soon as they left the school gate, they were stopped.

With a tone of self-blame in panic, Neiji Hyuga hurriedly emerged from the school gate.

"Miss Hinata!"

Seeing Hinata next to Ryosuke, he yelled again.

Before Ryosuke could ask anything, Neji bowed down in front of him and apologized, "I'm very sorry! Because of my overthinking, I've discredited the Hinata family!"

Guilt and not being able to face it made him not dare to raise his head to see Ryosuke's face.

"Smear...smear?"

The sudden scene made Ryosuke a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what he meant immediately.

But after thinking about what happened today, I probably understood what he said.

Before, Ningji Hyuga came to the main house to apply for early graduation, in order not to lose to Sasuke Uchiha.

But judging from the rumors heard today, he should have failed the assessment and failed to graduate from the ninja school ahead of schedule.

If... like before, he didn't apply, then it's okay, no one knows how strong or weak they are, and after a year, they don't have time to make comparisons.

But it's different now, Uchiha Sasuke graduated successfully, and they failed the examination on the first day of the Hyuga Clan, which clearly tells passers-by that Hyuga is not as good as Uchiha.

No wonder Hinata Ningji looked so flustered and overwhelmed this day.

In his short life, the pressure to bear the scapegoat of this kind of family was quite high.

Knowing the cause and effect, Ryosuke turned his head and looked at the school gates coming and going, "Don't do this, just talk while walking?"

"Yes!"

Neiji Hinata seemed to have noticed that his behavior seemed a bit embarrassing, so he quickly straightened his back.

But when he raised his head, Ryosuke noticed slightly that there seemed to be some tears on his face.

It looks like...he secretly hid and cried.

It didn't make sense, they walked in the direction of the Hyuga Clan.

"Although I didn't go to watch the game, it seems that this battle is not easy."

Ryosuke glanced at Ningji Hinata for a while. Not only were there several damaged clothes on his body, but there were also several injuries of varying degrees inside his body.

Although it wasn't serious, it could be seen that the Chunin who was being assessed intentionally kept his hand, so that no serious injury was caused.

And this also shows that in the battle with Neiji Hinata, this Chunin acted very easily and grasped the whole situation of the battle.

"I hardly have the strength to resist. That senior knows Hinata very well. He opened the distance at the moment the battle started, and he is extremely proficient in the use of various ninjutsu."

Hyuga Ningji replied in a muffled voice, "In terms of speed, I can't keep up with the opponent, and the only soft fist that can win, but I have no chance to use it at all. After the overall assessment, my comprehensive evaluation is still far from a passing score. .”

"Indeed, long-range combat is what most of our family lacks."

Ryosuke nodded, "You should have mastered... Bagua Kongzhang, right?"

"Yes, my father taught me specifically."

Hyuga Ningji nodded, "But the continuous use of Baguazhang requires a huge amount of chakra as a foundation, and my chakra is not enough to support it."

"During the battle, I have never found a suitable opportunity to cut in. He seems to be very familiar with Hinata, whether it is soft fist or Baguazhang. He deliberately avoided the range of my attack and used ninjutsu to win. He first... ..."

Silently talking about the entire battle process of the assessment, Hinata Neji kept every attack of the enemy in mind, including every reaction of his own.

In addition to these, he also talked about the post-war summary of this battle.

During the whole process, Ningji Hinata was very serious, completely treating Ryosuke as a senior who was much stronger than him.

Regarding Ryosuke's strength, he only got some information from his father's few words, but it was obvious.

The Miss Hinata I thought before was not Hinata's future, but the young master Ryosuke in front of me was.

At an immature age similar to himself, he won the attention of his father, who is a ninja, and his father attaches great importance to him.

A person who is so proud of his father would be willing to let go of his dissatisfaction with being separated from the family because of this. Master Liangjie is definitely a powerful ninja who hides deeply.

"What does that Chunin look like?"

While listening to his narration, in Ryosuke's mind, he unconsciously conceived the scene of Neiji Hinata fighting a Chunin who couldn't see his face clearly.

This is a picture constructed based on strong thinking ability and rich combat experience, and a little bit of illusion ability.

Hearing his question, Ningji Hinata was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "About... 1.7 meters tall, not very fat, but because of regular exercise, he looks very strong."

"Then where is your battle?"

Ryosuke asked again.

"The school's No. [-] training ground."

Hyuga Ningji quickly replied again.

"The battle records are very detailed. It can be seen that you blame yourself and attach great importance to your enemy. If this is the case, there is no need to feel guilty because of this matter. After all, you have tried your best."

While speaking, they had already stepped into Hyuga's clan without knowing it.

Randomly found a practice field within the range of the branch family.

Because it was close to dinner time, there were not many people in the training ground.

"Master Ryosuke, are you going to... guide me?"

Ningji was a little puzzled, thinking that it was his own mistake that made Hinata ashamed, so the master should guide himself so that he can regain his face as soon as possible.

First, he lightly tapped Hinata's eyelids, and Ryosuke glanced at him, "...well."

Then, he stretched out his hand and tapped Neji's eyelids.

"This...this is?"

When Hinata and Ningji opened their eyes again, the practice field in front of them had already changed.

They... came to the school's No. [-] flat training ground.

On the field, Neiji Hinata with a serious face was waiting in line, facing the burly man who couldn't see his face clearly.

In front of them was the graduation assessment screen constructed by Ryosuke through Hinata Neji's words just now.

At the beginning of the battle, the Chunin assesses the teacher's way of keeping the distance and the possible speed.

Neji's reaction, and the movement of chasing and wanting to get closer.

Everything is extremely real, as if it was recorded in advance with a video recorder and played in front of their eyes.

"It's just a simple illusion."

Ryosuke explained casually.

He didn't even open his eyes. This is an illusory technique constructed by him based on his research on Yin Chakra. There are only pictures, and there will be no substantive attacks.

The construction of this illusion more tests the thinking ability of the caster.

Controlling the unfolding of this illusory technique, Ryosuke looked at Hinata, "Although father doesn't want us to graduate early, I think you should get in touch with it, relatively real battles, and... those enemies who are familiar with our Hyuga fighting style When the time comes, psychological construction should be made.”
