"Sasuke-nii.

“I, I don’t want to go home yet.”

The next morning, shortly after the first rays of sunlight shone into the ward, a medical ninja came in to conduct a routine check.

After a night's rest, Hinata Hanabi's health has basically recovered.

After discussion, they decided to be discharged directly from the hospital.

However, just as Sasuke was about to send Hanabi home, she made a new request.

The Hyuga clan has always been quite strict with Hinata Hanabi, the future successor to the clan leader.

On weekdays, Hinata Xia was sent as a special personal guard, who was fully responsible for controlling Hinata Hanabi's every move in daily life.

Therefore, even the Ichiraku-dori in the Hidden Leaf Village and the hot spring town, which are seemingly ordinary and lively places, are rare and fresh places for Hanabi.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, Jiraiya's instructions were still fresh in his mind.

After thinking about it, half a day was not too much time, so I finally agreed reluctantly.

"Sasuke-nii, does this count as a date?"

After being discharged from the hospital, Hinata Hanabi felt very happy.

I saw her tilting her neck back, with the sunlight shining through the ends of her hair.

Her ears looked red, as if they were painted with a light layer of rouge.

"Do you know what a date is?"

Uchiha Sasuke was both amused and confused. In his heart, he just treated Hanabi as a child.

"I don't understand, can you teach me?"

Hinata Hanabi asked calmly.

"."

However, what he got in return was silence from Uchiha Sasuke.

Come to think of it, he didn't seem to understand it very well.

The two traveled through Konoha Village, wandering around various busy places according to Hanabi's personality.

Compared to before, Hinata Hanabi no longer has any worries in her mind today.

It seemed that she was only thinking about playing, and in the end she revealed the nature unique to her age and returned to her little girl state.

She was seen running around the village with Uchiha Sasuke. Everything she saw was new to her and she seemed much more lively.

Infected by the fireworks, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to be looking at the village again for the first time, and unexpectedly found a lot more fun out of nowhere.

"Brother Sasuke, listen to me.

"This Ganli Gan store is not far from where I live. The snacks they make at dawn every day are like setting off an olfactory alarm.

"While I was still in bed, a fragrant and majestic aura burst through the air, with the force of a long wind that blew thousands of miles away, more powerful than an alarm clock.

"It's a pity that I came a little too early. I woke people up for nothing. It's really helpless."

"Wow, so the term "hot spring street" means you can take an open-air hot spring bath anywhere?

"Ahem, these, why are all the sisters wearing so little? They are so beautiful.

"Look, Sasuke-nii.

"Pfft, can a fierce guy like you be shy?"

"Ah, we're finally here! The dumpling shop!

"This place is too far from my home, and Sister Hyuga Xia always refuses to let me come here by myself.

"I'm most familiar with their three-color meatballs. Mung bean kernels, lotus paste, four yolks, walnuts, jujube paste, and red bean paste."

"You haven't been here much, have you?"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Hinata Hanabi's enumeration and asked curiously.

“Oh, stupid.

"Father, if you see I like it, of course you can send someone to buy it for me."

Hinata Hanabi pouted and frowned.

"Ok."

Uchiha Sasuke touched his nose awkwardly, but asked unconvincedly:

"If you can eat it often, why are you so excited now?"

"Oh, you don't understand!"

Hinata Hanabi ordered two servings of three-color meatballs and handed one to Sasuke while excitedly saying:

“Some things are best experienced in specific situations.

"Come on, try it too!"

"I hate sweets. I especially hate the meatballs here."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said coldly.

"So, when was the last time you had something sweet?"

Hanabi asked while tilting her head as she savored the meatball in her hand.

"."

Uchiha Itachi's face flashed through Sasuke's mind in an instant.

Seeing that Sasuke didn't say anything, Hanabi thought that he couldn't remember, and said with satisfaction:

"Since it's been a long time, why not give it another try?

"A person's taste will always change."

Uchiha Sasuke only felt that his life, all the preferences and trajectories in his life should not be affected or deviated in the slightest because of that man.

He slowly took the three-colored meatball, treating it as a test and challenge for himself.

Sasuke frowned, held his breath, bit off a meatball and swallowed it whole.

Then, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not as hard to swallow as he had imagined.

When I looked up, I met Hinata Hanabi's expectant eyes.

The big, twinkling eyes seemed to be saying:

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

“I wouldn’t say I like it, but it’s not bad either.”

Uchiha Sasuke put the remaining three-colored balls back on the plate in front of him and said lightly.

"Stop it."

Hanabi smiled sweetly.

The eyes are curved and look very pretty.

"Okay, did you have fun? It's almost time to go home. They'll be worried about you."

After leaving the dumpling shop, the two walked aimlessly along the Konoha River, and Uchiha Sasuke once again mentioned closing this task thread.

“Maybe I should think less about ‘them’.

"After all, I'm still just a child, what do you think?"

Hinata Hanabi walked backwards with her hands behind her back, the river water sparkling beside her.

"."

Uchiha Sasuke was speechless, this was exactly what he wanted to say to Hanabi before.

Although it sounds different from the original words, the core is exactly the same.

It seems that the other party is smarter than Sasuke imagined, and has completely understood the spirit of it.

"So, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath and asked.

"Emm, I want to go

"Ninja, school."

above the roof.

Before this, Uchiha Sasuke often chatted with Hyuga Neji here.

At this time, Sasuke came here again, but the Hyuga clan member around him was replaced by another person.

"Wow, it's true!

“It’s very clear.”

Hinata Hanabi looked ahead happily. The view here was very broad and the playground of the Ninja School was right below, so she could have a clear view of it.

At this time, inside the playground, Iruka, the teacher of the Ninja School, was blowing the whistle on his chest and giving the children physical training lessons.

At this time, Sarutobi Konohamaru was running at the front of the team, and the children behind him were following him breathlessly. It seemed that they had already run many laps.

"Speaking of which, why don't you go to ninja school?"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly remembered something and asked.

Hearing Sasuke's words, Hinata Hanabi's eyes gradually dimmed.

She just shook her head gently.

His eyes were still staring blankly at the school in the distance, with a look of longing.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Sasuke stopped asking.

After a while, the physical education class ended with running laps.

Free activities began on the playground. The children formed groups, some swinging on the swings, and some straddling the horizontal bar.

Some also gathered in groups of three or five, playing the ninja game that every Konoha child loved most.

"I do not know either."

Hinata Hanabi smiled bitterly and suddenly spoke again.

She still stared at the group of children and said softly:

“Actually, I should have known this a long time ago.

"My father and his family never thought of letting me go to a ninja school. The so-called school bag, application, and approval were all lies to me."

The sudden appearance of the ninja school backpack in Hanabi's room flashed through Sasuke's mind.

Combined with what Jiraiya said before -

//

"Children represent the future and are the hope of everything."

"They hid the child for so long, and it was not easy for you to kidnap him."

//

He suddenly understood.

As the future head of the Hyuga clan, he naturally has to receive education in the idea that the Hyuga clan's main family comes first.

And in the Ninja School.

To be honest, not only will they not be able to learn any decent ninjutsu, but at the same time, they will also be greatly eroded by the spiritual power of the "Will of Fire" of the top leaders of Konoha.

Thinking about it this way, if I were the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, I would not let Hinata Hanabi go to ninja school.

Even though he couldn't interact with people of his own age, it seemed so insignificant compared to the future of the entire Hyuga clan.

On the other hand, Hyuga Hinata is a contemporary friend.

To the Hyuga clan, he was indeed a completely abandoned pawn.

"But you still have to go back."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

"I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"

Hinata Hanabi didn't want to continue this topic.

She stood up carelessly, brushed the dust off her butt, and walked down from the other side of the roof first.

“This is the store!”

At the corner, in front of an unknown snack bar.

Hinata Hanabi stopped and introduced herself to Uchiha Sasuke with a proud look on her face.

"Brother Sasuke, his chestnut chicken soup is really great~"

Hinata Hanabi walked into the store first and called the owner with ease.

I ordered a large portion of chicken soup, a portion of dried longan, two portions of candied fruit, spiced grapes, candied peach bars, and so on.

"You are more familiar with it than I am."

Listening to Hinata Hanabi's skillful ordering, Uchiha Sasuke said with a faint smile as he looked around the shop's furnishings curiously.

“The more readily something is available, the less we value it.

“But the more I try to get it, the more it replays in my mind, and it becomes familiar.

"That's how people are."

Hinata Hanabi wiped the dishes beside her meticulously while explaining to Uchiha Sasuke seriously.

"It sounds pretty mean."

Sasuke echoed thoughtfully.

"OK!"

Hinata Hanabi nodded slightly and wrinkled her nose hard, looking so adorable.

Soon, the restaurant served all the dishes. Hinata Hanabi didn't bother to be polite with Sasuke and couldn't wait to serve herself a small bowl of chicken soup.

However, after taking a sip, Hanabi couldn't help but freeze in her tracks.

He took another sip and his expression was no longer happy. Instead, he leaned back slightly and his face looked a little regretful.

Seeing her like this, Sasuke couldn't help but serve himself a bowl.

Upon careful tasting, it tastes delicious, with the sweetness and fragrance of chestnuts, but it does not overshadow the flavor of the chicken soup.

As Huahuo had said before, it was indeed an excellent dish.

However, Hinata Hanabi on the opposite side just frowned regretfully.

He put down his chopsticks, placed his bowl, and remained silent.

"Is there something wrong?"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"It smells strange, a little medicinal."

Hinata Hanabi pouted and said with disgust.

Uchiha Sasuke took another bite suspiciously, but he didn't taste the "strange taste" that Hanabi mentioned.

In the deadlock, Uchiha Sasuke did not argue, but immediately called the store owner and asked:

"This lady said that the chicken soup tasted like medicine. What's going on?"

The shop owner was also stunned when he heard this, and said it was impossible. The recipe was drawn up by him personally, and no medicinal herbs were used or added in it.

However, Hinata Hanabi continued to insist.

It was not until the chef was called from the kitchen and asked that we found out what was going on.

It turned out that there was a chicken that was bought two or three days ago and raised in the yard.

Yesterday afternoon, the chef saw that the chicken looked depressed and unhealthy, so he gave it some refreshing ointment.

But Hinata Hanabi actually tasted the flavor of this slight bit of the ointment.

Everyone thought it was strange.

Turning my head, I saw our Miss Fireworks, who was tilting her neck back and throwing candied fruit into her mouth.

He stood with his legs crossed, swaying from side to side, looking as if he was floating in the air.

"Young lady, you are so particular about food, you must be the daughter of a big ninja family.

"It's a pity that I haven't visited our shop more often before."

The shopkeeper flattered her.

He immediately ordered the kitchen to make another bowl and gave it to the two guests for free.

Due to Hanabi's extremely distinctive eyes, he could of course tell that she was a ninja from the Hyuga clan.

But he didn't dare to say anything whether she was a rich lady or not, so he just kept saying nice things.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke was also looking at Hinata Hanabi with interest.

I just felt that she was very different from the other girls I had met before.

If I had grown up successfully as the second young master of the Uchiha clan, I would be as particular about wealth as she is now.

This kind of thing is not a pity.

However, another possible parallel universe suddenly appeared before him in this form.

I just feel it's somewhat interesting in my heart.

However, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

As dusk approached, Hinata Hanabi finally did not refuse Sasuke's proposal again.

He followed Sasuke obediently and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long.

As the two got closer to the Hyuga clan's territory, the girlish aura on Hinata Hanabi's face became weaker and weaker.

Until the end, the expression on her face once again returned to the murderous aura of the next clan leader.

Quiet and indifferent.

It was like a familiar mask was put back on his face.

Uchiha Sasuke stood at the gate of the clan's territory, watching Hinata Hanabi walk slowly into the mansion.

It seemed as if the mansion in front of her was about to transform into a giant beast, swallowing up the liveliness of the young girl along with it.

Uchiha Sasuke left without much lingering, just missing Hinata Hanabi who was looking back reluctantly behind him.

On the way home, a familiar reminder voice came from Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

Ding!

[Congratulations on completing your proposal - kidnapping Hinata Hanabi, completing a one-for-one exchange with the Hyuga clan, and obtaining a C-rank scroll]
