Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

"Auntie, can I talk to Yun Chuan alone for a while?"

"..."

Hinata Ling lowered her head and looked at her son, then smiled slightly.

"Of course...Yunchuan, I'll go home and prepare dinner first."

"Well, thank you, mother."

……

Hinata Kumokawa and Asuma had not had much communication, and they only exchanged symbolic greetings when they took the early graduation exam. In contrast, they were more familiar with Yuhi Kurenai...because of Illya's relationship.

As for Sarutobi Asma...

How to put it, he is like a gangster leader who has a lot of gangsters. If he doesn't like anyone, he can gather a group of people to educate the other person... Although Hinata Kumikawa doesn't know if he has done this, he seems to be one. ruffian.

In addition, even in Konoha, where hairstyles are "free", his hairstyle is unique...

"What you did to the Crown Prince just now... I saw it all."

Asuma's expression was very serious, completely different from his usual cynicism.

Looks very serious...

Hinata Kumokawa probably knows why he became the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

"So, you're here to accuse me?"

"Your behavior is a betrayal of the Will of Fire. As the only jade in the Kingdom of Fire, everyone should protect him with their lives... but you are threatening him with force."

"I didn't threaten him..."

Hinata Kumokawa denied it.

It was obvious that he had been threatened with death just now. He just had a few words with the Crown Prince. As for force... Although the Crown Prince's movements were restricted a little, Hinata Kumokawa swore that he was definitely not using any force.

"We all know your relationship with Illya, but that doesn't allow you to offend the Daimyo."

But Asuma obviously believed in his own eyes more, and he couldn't understand anything.

"Yunchuan, we will keep an eye on you. If you do anything outrageous again, we will stop you... to prevent you from involving other people. This is also for your own good."

"Hmm... whatever you want, but I still want to ask, who do you mean by 'we'?"

"Gai, Kakashi, Ebisu, Genma, Kurenai... none of us want you to do anything stupid."

"Yeah, I got it."

Hinata Kumokawa nodded.

It seems that I and Ilya are considered a "young couple" in the eyes of others. From the age of seven to 13, they were almost childhood sweethearts...

I have to say that Illya's popularity is really good.

If Hinata Kumikawa was abducted by a daimyo princess and married into a child, not many people would come to see the joke...

Hinata Kumokawa suddenly felt that if he didn't do something, he would be sorry for their reaction.

……

……

Hinata Kumikawa returned home and saw Hinata Tatsumi as soon as he entered the door.

Wearing this dirty Jounin uniform, he sat in the yard and worried, his eyes fixed on the place where the wooden stakes were originally placed, as if he was reminiscing about his lost youth...

Seeing Hinata Kumikawa enter the door, he immediately cast an angry look.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Mom didn't tell you?"

Hinata Kumokawa was stunned.

"..."

Well, because Hinata Rei promised to keep Kushina a secret, Hinata Rei said that the wooden stake was broken by Hinata Kumikawa.

As an ordinary person, Hyuga Rei didn't know that Kushina was a jinchuriki... The fact that Kushina replaced Mito as a jinchuriki at first was only known to the top management, and it was a secret to most people.

Hinata Rei just stood from the perspective of a friend and decided to protect Kushina's little secret.

And Hinata Kumokawa...

Well, since Mother has already thrown the blame, Hinata Kumikawa can only take it. Kushina and him directly keep each other's secrets, and he can't say anything about Kyuubi's pattern.

"...Okay, it was indeed me. I accidentally broke it when I was developing a new technique."

"You know, this was left by your grandfather...that is, my father. It has been there since I can remember...it is considered a cultural relic, but it was broken into pieces by a prodigal like you! I - I really don't know what to do. What are you talking about? It’s obviously already so strong...what new technique, let me see~"

"Okay, Tatsumi, go take a shower, you stink so much~"

Hinata Rei appeared behind Hinata Tatsumi, gently poked his knotted hair, and said disgustedly.

"Yunchuan, come on, let me see you before taking a shower!"

"……Fine."

Hinata Kumikawa could tell, he didn't feel sorry for the wooden pile at all, he just wanted to see Hinata Kumikawa's new technique.

I have no choice but to use the Spiral Air Palm to pretend to be...

……

This time Hyuga Tatsumi took the initiative to apply to come back.

Hinata Kumokawa didn't ask for details, but he could tell that something bad must have happened recently.

He didn't go into detail about what happened on the battlefield. He just talked about it for more than an hour, bragging about how much he was used on the battlefield and how much the enemy feared his white eyes...

Before dinner, he dove into the house and started snoring.

In this stalemate period, the reconnaissance ninja must be the most tiring group of people. They need to constantly monitor the enemy's movements, be vigilant during the short peace, and beware of the moment when the peace is broken.

……

……

When Illya arrived, Hinata Tatsumi had already slept like a dead pig.

It was still the mother and son having dinner with Illya.

After dinner, Hinata Kumokawa and Illya stayed alone for a while, asking her insinuatingly what she thought of the Daimyo Crown Prince and how far she could go to break off the engagement.

And, express your attitude.

"You must think clearly before answering me, Illya. Even if you can escape the engagement this time, I will not be with you in the future... The love you imagined will not appear for us."

"If you simply want to escape from this engagement, I can help you, but only for your own sake. You will also be responsible for the subsequent consequences..."

"Yunchuan..."

"You still have time to hesitate. Please communicate more with the prince recently and you must seriously consider this marriage."

Hinata Kumokawa emphasized again seriously.

Illya opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything...

She was too naive and didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

……

The next day.

The clan held an ordinary funeral.

Hinata Kumokawa, who had never been to such an occasion, was also dragged over by Tatsumi for a formality.

At the funeral, Hyuga Kumokawa learned that he came back because the camp was breached. Because of the serious casualties, he was replaced by other teams from Konoha... and the 17-year-old young tribesman lying in the urn was one of the deceased. one.

"... He's not an Iwa nin, he's a puppet master who snatches corpses... Never tell your mother these things."

"Ah."

Hinata Kumokawa nodded in agreement.

It was a bit hasty to let the Red Sand Scorpion leave that day...

If Hinata Tatsumi was among the people killed, Hinata Kumokawa would be upset for a while, and that night would be something he would remember for the rest of his life... After all, if he killed Scorpion on a whim, maybe some things wouldn't happen.

Because Hyuga Tatsumi didn't elaborate, Hyuga Kumokawa didn't know that he met Scorpion after the attack. At that time, Scorpion was carrying the corpses of four Uchiha clan members...
