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

"With regard to the improvement of the engraving of the bird in the cage, the clan has already made some progress, and I believe that a new technique will be developed soon."

"As for the secret arts that only the clan could practice in the past, a new system has been re-established. As long as the clansmen who have contributed enough to the clan have the opportunity to study higher-level spells."

"The various rights of the main family have also begun to be delegated to the branch families. We plan to learn the methods of the daimyo of the land of fire to replace the old deliberative system."

"By the way, we have re-discussed about the protection plan of the clan's bloodline..."

...

The solemn meeting hall is no longer empty and old-fashioned.

The simple futons were thrown out of the hall and replaced with brand new tables and chairs. They were spliced ​​together to form a large circle.

On the table, there are all kinds of melons and fruits, water bottles, and cups for the participants to replenish their energy during the meeting.

This is Hinata Hinata's simple renovation based on the meeting room of the Hokage Building.

In the future, this conference hall may be used from time to time, instead of being used for only one or two meetings a year.

At that time, if the big guys still sit on their knees or sit cross-legged on the ground for meetings, they will definitely be more... prone to fatigue, especially for some elderly people.

Therefore, the transformation of the environment is necessary.

"Then... this week's meeting is here first. Although nothing has happened in terms of implementation recently, I still hope that everyone can keep an eye on the big and small affairs of the clan together."

At the end of the discussion, as the patriarch, Hyuga Hyuzu stood up and looked at the clansmen who were sitting in a circle.

Regarding the end of the meeting, the others had no objection and also stood up from their positions.

And Hinata was also one of them, she temporarily took the last seat to participate in the discussion.

During the recent period, important high-level members of the family have frequently gathered in the conference hall to discuss the family reform plan.

During this process, Hinata, as the proposer of the plan and one of the assistants to implement it, also followed Hinata Hyuzu and participated in every meeting.

Regarding her existence, no one else in the clan had any objections.

Although the system proposed by Hinata is something that the clan elders and Hinata Hizuru have discussed.

Even, the things they have considered are more perfect than Hinata.

It's just that there are still many loopholes in this proposal and there is no way to improve it.

They are not sure to complete all this, and they don't want to be the sinners of the ages, so they have not formally proposed this content.

But after all... the person who is really willing to take responsibility and put this issue on the surface is Hinata.

Her courage is still commendable.

And when Hinata was able to bring up this matter, they all recognized her ability, because she thought of the same thing as them, and at that moment, she was already on the same starting line as old things like them.

From this point of view, Hinata surprised others.

So no one objected to her appearing in this meeting hall, even if she was still young.

"You go back first, let Ah Liang prepare a dinner for me, I may go back to eat later."

Before leaving the conference hall, Hinata got his father's instructions.

Without the hypocrisy of having to be alone with her, she nodded silently, left the meeting hall, and walked home.

Along the way, enthusiastic clansmen would greet her, calling her Miss Hinata, or even Master Hinata.

The smiles on their faces were something Hinata never felt before.

Although they used to call her that, but now the words are more sincere and from the heart.

"Master Hinata..."

And at this time, a voice louder than others, from far to near, was the uncle of the Hyuga Clan who was often in charge of guarding the gate...

...

"Uzumaki Naruto has been wandering outside the clan area since returning to the village after finishing his mission recently, as if he was waiting for you."

Hinata, who was originally a good student and would never ask for leave except for illness, resolutely gave up her school life under the leadership of Ryosuke, and began to focus her life on her family.

After a hard day's work, Hinata returned home exhausted.

By the way, she brought back a message to Ryosuke.

"Your tone...why do I find it weird."

Wiping her wet hair with a towel, Ryosuke has just finished a day of practice and is about to have dinner after taking a shower.

As soon as the result came out, I saw Hinata approaching and talking in a sour tone, which made him feel a little delicate and strange.

"I heard from Sister Xingcai that you have been paying attention to his information recently."

When Hinata thought of this, she became angry, "You have never cared about me so much."

She puffed her face, feeling like her boyfriend had been robbed.

Obviously she has been in charge of important affairs recently, but this guy didn't pay attention to her at all, instead he sent someone to pay attention to the movements of Naruto Uzumaki.

"what are you thinking……"

Ryosuke looked at her dumbfounded, "Naruto is just my friend, besides, you are his friend too."

"...Yes, yes, you are right."

Staring into his eyes for a long time, facing his serious gaze, Hinata was too lazy to say anything, she was very tired today.

"Naruto is waiting for you at the door right now, but he didn't report. The gatekeeper uncle saw that he had been there for several days, so he came over to remind you, why don't you go and have a look?"

Hinata asked while taking off her shoes and entering the house.

"No, I can't answer his question, so I won't pass it."

Ryosuke shook his head.

Although recently, Naruto seems to be very normal no matter whether it is the eyeliner on Konoha's side or their intelligence on Hyuga's side.

Set out missions every day, practice seriously, read information and so on.

But Ryosuke noticed based on intelligence information that this guy seems to be still obsessed with his life experience, but this is also understandable.

But as he gets closer to the truth, Naruto may get an incomprehensible answer.

That is, his father would be the Fourth Hokage, and he, who was rejected by the people in the village since he was a child, would be the son of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Even... the person who sealed the Nine Tails on him was the Fourth Hokage.

Although he didn't contact him, Ryosuke could guess that maybe the reason why Naruto came to him frequently but didn't dare to tell him was because the question he wanted to ask was a question that would embarrass him.

Regarding the question of whether his father is the Fourth Hokage, Ryosuke knows, but cannot answer.

When Naruto came to Hinata as a guest on this point, he gave a positive answer.

The two of them also knew each other that raising this question would only make their situation more complicated, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask, and Ryosuke didn't want to see him.

Hearing Ryosuke's answer, Hinata, who had just put on her indoor shoes and stood up, froze for a moment, but then seemed to understand something, "I seem to know... why he came to you."

As for Naruto's matter, because Ryosuke often pays attention to him, as a person around her, she also knows a lot about him.

"But... Isn't he your friend? It's not good to hide this kind of thing from him."

Hinata looked at Ryosuke suspiciously, "Although... this matter is more sensitive, if you intervene, it may affect our family, but with your current ability, you can completely pass the answer without anyone noticing. Put it in front of him."

"He may already know the answer, but he just doesn't want to face it."

Ryosuke shook his head, walked into the living room with her and sat down, waiting for dinner time.

"The identity of the son of Hokage, can it be easily concealed? In fact, as long as he intends to understand the life and past of the fourth Hokage, he can easily learn something."

"Naruto just doesn't want to believe it now, why his father treats him like that, and as an outsider, I have no way to give any opinion on this."

"It's like when my father and I kept everything from you about the bird in the cage until you had the ability to bear it. Many things can't be solved simply by knowing the truth, but need to be determined. state of mind to face."

"Instead of me telling him the answer, it's better for him to try to accept it himself and think about why his father would do this."

Seeing Hinata tired lying on the ground, Ryosuke sat on the other side of the table, smiled and pushed a glass of fruit juice onto the table in front of her, "Are you so tired today?"

"very tired……"

Like a deflated ball, Hinata lay on the ground curled up into a small ball, eyes half-closed, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

But even so, she still insisted on talking to Ryosuke, "But Ryosuke is really gentle, always able to stand in a... like a teacher's perspective, and enlighten others."

"If you go to the ninja school to teach, maybe you will be very powerful?"

Her tone was a little lazy, but this feeling was quite comfortable.

After a hard day's work, chatting with loved ones at home while waiting for dinner time, a very loose and comfortable pace of life.

"I just think it's more appropriate for one's life to be in charge of one's own life."

Randomly picked up a scroll of Water Escape Art, Ryosuke flipped through it and replied: "At least... I want people around me to be able to make choices about their own lives and not let themselves regret it."

There is no way to say that everyone I come into contact with has the opportunity to choose their own life.

Ryosuke can only do it, let some people around him have this opportunity and ability.

But the living room slowly quieted down after he finished speaking.

There has been no further movement from Hinata.

Just when Ryosuke thought she had fallen asleep, she rolled round to Ryosuke's side like a ball of cotton, whimpering.

"It's so kind of you."

With a strange sound in his mouth, Hinata bumped his head on Ryosuke's leg like a kitten, and then lay still.

Fortunately, Ryosuke relaxed the muscles in his legs in time.

Otherwise, with his current physical strength, Hinata bumped into him all of a sudden, it can't be said to be the same as hitting a wall, but there is no difference.

"Sleep for a while, I'll call you after dinner."

Raising a palm, Ryosuke slowly placed it on her hair and stroked it.

The soft voice reached Hinata's ears, and she enjoyed the cozy and warm atmosphere, her body stopped shaking, and she closed her eyes obediently.

It could be seen that she was really tired.

After a while, the sound of even breathing slowly sounded, accompanied by a slight snoring sound.

rustling --

As the girl fell asleep, Ryosuke became a little cautious when flipping through the scrolls.

But this feeling is not bad, let him enjoy it a little.

While reading the scroll in his hand, Ryosuke enjoyed this warm evening like smoothing the fur of a kitten.

But soon, this comfortable atmosphere was broken.

"Sister! I'm back!"

Hurriedly running from the courtyard into the house, Xiao Huahuo who came home couldn't wait to rush towards Hinata.

As a brat who can't wink, after bouncing home from the training ground, the first thing he does is to share today's training results with his sister.

So, under Ryosuke's helpless gaze, she woke up Hinata who had just fallen asleep...

...

Whoosh whoosh—

The sound of breaking through the sky resounded among the dense woods.

As the sky was getting darker, the two figures rushed into the deep forest outside the village, chasing each other.

"What seems to be on your mind recently?"

A very magnetic voice came from one of them.

Wearing a dark blue blouse with fan-shaped family crests tattooed on the back, Sasuke Uchiha threw a few kunai towards the figure in front of him while speaking.

As if after precise calculations, these kunai rushed forward at varying speeds, and then collided with each other in mid-air, changing the original trajectory.

With extremely changeable angles, the Kunai thrown by Uchiha Sasuke stabbed at the orange figure in several directions.

Not only blocked the direction of the enemy's movement, but also blocked the direction of dodge.

"No."

A calm voice sounded from the mouth of the orange figure, Uzumaki Naruto deftly pulled out a kunai from the ninja tool bag.

With a kunai in his hand, he can easily block the ninja tools that shoot from different directions.

"Although you hid well in front of Kakashi-sensei and the others, you seem to have let down your vigilance in front of me."

Of course, it is impossible to defeat Uzumaki Naruto with only ninja tools. Uchiha Sasuke is not so naive. His figure has been hidden in the shadows among the branches as early as the moment he swung the ninja tools, approaching Naruto.

Hidden in the shadows, before Sasuke Uchiha opened his mouth, his thighs were thrown out like a whip, and he lashed towards Naruto.

In his eyes, two tadpole-like hook jades are intertwined, improving his insight.

boom!

"...Well, there is a little thing, but it's just some insignificant little things."

Raising his arm, Naruto easily blocked the whip while answering.

Power spread from the collision of their legs and arms, sending their hair blowing in the wind.

"Small matter? Judging from your expression, it doesn't seem like an insignificant matter."

Sasuke continued to ask, but the movement of his hand did not slow down at all, and he swung his palm again.

This time, it was still blocked.

But Naruto's expression was no longer relaxed, he frowned and wanted to retreat.

But it's a pity, before he started to distance himself, Sasuke Uchiha once again used the power of being blocked, and a barb was a whip kick from top to bottom.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and the next offensive didn't give Naruto a chance to breathe, let alone give him time to perform seal spells.

Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan stared at Naruto.

The chakra in Naruto's body flows, and every detail of his movements is reflected in these eyes.

During the time of performing the mission during this period, he has already figured out Naruto's fighting habits.

With this pair of sharing eyes, his progress is faster than anyone else.

It was also after awakening Sharingan that Sasuke realized how much youth and time he had wasted before.

"I noticed...you seem to have been looking for that kid from Hinata's family, but he doesn't seem to see you."

In such a fierce and swift offensive, Naruto has no chance to breathe temporarily, but Uchiha Sasuke, who initiated the offensive, seemed calm.

With this pair of sharing eyes, many fighting movements seem to be slowed down several times in his eyes, and he can handle them very easily.

"Your progress is so slow, Naruto."

"When you fought with me a few days ago, you didn't seem so nervous."

"But I'm a little curious about you losing your guard in front of me. Naruto, do you think we are very similar? We are both so... lonely!"

Easily, Uchiha Sasuke broke Naruto's inner thoughts.

At the moment when the last two words fell, the strength in his hand intensified a bit, and he punched Naruto on the cheek.

But then, his movements froze.

This punch hit Naruto's cheek firmly, almost with all his strength.

But as if hitting a solid wall, this punch didn't make Naruto retreat half a point, it just made his head tilt a little.

"It's been chattering since just now."

An indifferent and impatient voice sounded from Naruto's mouth.

Uchiha Sasuke was surprised to find that the fist he pressed on Naruto's cheek was being pushed back little by little.

"Didn't I tell you not to talk to your enemies while fighting?!"

The azure blue eyes were stained with scarlet at some point, and Naruto also stared at Uchiha's eyes firmly, just like he stared at himself just now.

The next moment, light red chakra surged out of his body, and substantial momentum centered on him, spreading to all directions, "You don't really think that you can defeat me with just a pair of Sharingan, do you?" ?For this power, do you know what I endured?!"

A sound like the roar of a wild animal sounded from his throat.

Instinctively, Sasuke Uchiha wanted to retreat the moment he felt the danger.

It's a pity, when his body was facing Naruto, and the moment he leaped back, a hideous and terrifying hand covered with sharp claws grabbed his ankle...
