Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

After finishing a passionate class, Yanagishita was surrounded by Kushina. Her eyes were shining with admiration, and she kept praising Yanagishita's teaching style and profound interpretation of the Will of Fire.

"Brother Yanagishita, you are so handsome in class! The way you explain the Will of Fire is so cool, I am fascinated by it." Kushina's tone was full of excitement and admiration.

Yanagishita smiled and humbly responded, "Thank you for the compliment, Kushina. I am simply sharing my little understanding of the Will of Fire with you, hoping that it will help you better understand the spirit of our village."

But at this moment, their conversation was interrupted by a gentle and clear female voice: "Yanagishita-san, I haven't seen you for a while since the Chunin Exam."

The two turned around and saw that the person who came was Hyuga Suzuran from the Hyuga family. She was just like her name, with a fresh and refined temperament. Her long, straight black hair was like the Milky Way pouring down from the night sky, swaying gently with her steps, emitting a natural luster. Her skin was white, as if it was a carefully carved jade, revealing a kind of coldness that was not worldly. Hyuga Suzuran nodded slightly to show her respect for Liuxia.

"Suzuran, it's been a while since we last met. You can call me Yanagishita or Kogeto. What did the Third Hokage do for you after the Chunin Exam?" Yanagishita looked at this beautiful classmate who had lost her freedom since birth, and always had a tender heart for this stubborn girl.

"The Third Hokage has not made any arrangements for me for the time being, but he has summoned me and Uchiha En and said that he will arrange our team in a while. We don't have to worry during this period of time and should prioritize mastering the family secrets to improve our own strength." Hinata Suzuran's voice was calm, but revealed her anticipation for the upcoming mission.

Although Hinata Suzuran did not feel repulsive to Yanagishita calling her by her name, she was still a little shy for being the first boy to call her that. However, Suzuran, who had been good at hiding her emotions since she was a child, quickly returned to her generous and decent self.

Yanagishita was a little surprised by what Hyuga Suzuran said. He knew that the village was short of manpower. He even said that because of the war preparations, the village was actually short of a large number of ninjas who could perform tasks, especially the main task force like Chunin. Uchiha En might be assigned to the guard team, but Hyuga Suzuran and Uchiha En were idle together, and she also specifically asked to strengthen her own strength. It seems that he will be busy in the near future.

"Is that so? That's not bad. The third generation old man arranged it this way, so you should do it accordingly." Liu Xia nodded, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

During the conversation between Hinata Suzuran and Yanagishita, the students around them began to whisper. They were curious about the appearance of this beautiful and powerful genius of the Hyuga branch family, especially her behavior of waiting for Yanagishita, which caused a small commotion.

"Wow, look, senior Hinata Suzuran is actually waiting for senior Yanagishita, what is their relationship?" A freshman who had just enrolled couldn't help but ask in a low voice, with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.

"Who knows, maybe they are relatives, or there is some connection between families?" The classmate next to him guessed, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"But, Senior Hinata is so beautiful, with her long straight black hair and cool temperament, she is simply the goddess in my mind!" A male student couldn't help but admire her, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"Don't dream. No one from the Hyuga family would marry outside the family." Another student criticized, but a hint of envy could be seen in his eyes.

"Do you think that Senior Yanagishita has some special charm that even the beauties from the Hyuga family come to see him?" a female student asked curiously, with an inquiring gleam in her eyes.

"Special charm? I think his greatest charm is his strength. After all, he is a genius ninja who graduated early. It seems that Senior Hinata is in the same class with him. One is handsome and the other is beautiful." A student who seemed to know the inside story analyzed.

"However, have you noticed that the way Senior Hinata looks at Senior Yanagishita seems a little different?" A girl who was observant expressed her opinion.

"What's the difference? Could it be..." The other students began to discuss at once, with all kinds of speculations and fantasies flying in their minds.

Hinata Suzuran felt that her emotions fluctuated more recently than in a year. Her eyes fell on Liuxia involuntarily, and she secretly commented in her heart: Liuxia is really good-looking, even beautiful, but his eyebrows are full of masculine masculinity. If she were not a member of the Hyuga clan, perhaps...

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, she heard the increasingly crooked discussions of this group of precocious young people. Liuxia couldn't help but feel a little speechless, thinking to herself: It seems that there are still too few homeworks. Maybe I should really apply for more homework, which is a divine move, to make students focus more on their studies.

However, he decided to change the subject first to ease the blush that was beginning to appear on Hinata Suzuran's face.

"By the way, I haven't asked you why you are waiting for me here?" Liu Xia asked gently, trying to get the conversation back on track.

Hinata Suzuran came back to her senses from her thoughts. She adjusted her mood and regained her usual composure: "It's like this, the clan leader hopes that I can invite you to visit the Hyuga clan."

"Hyuga clan leader? Why did he suddenly want to invite me? But what about you? Do you want to invite me?" Yanagishita's invitation to the Hyuga clan leader was actually expected. It was intentional. The Tai Chi conception used in his competition would definitely attract the Hyuga clan with similar theories. However, seeing the posture of the little girl Hyuga Suzuran, who was rarely seen in front of him, he suddenly had the evil taste of teasing her.

"I--"

Hinata Suzuran began to feel a little embarrassed at Liuxia's teasing words. After all, she didn't often experience such scenes. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, which made her look both embarrassed and cute.

Kushina was watching quietly from the side. When she heard that Yanagishita was flirting with the beautiful Hyuga Suzuran in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. The words "stealing cat" that Tsunade had once said echoed in her ears, which made her feel a little uneasy and jealous.

Suddenly, Kushina felt a sour taste in her heart, her chakra began to surge uncontrollably, and even her hair moved without wind, revealing her emotional fluctuations. But at this moment, a warm hand touched her head, and the familiar touch instantly calmed her down.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my sister Uzumaki Kushina, the one you know across the street. She's Hyuga Suzuran, my good friend." Yanagishita noticed Kushina's mood change and changed the subject in time, while also introducing his sister to Hyuga Suzuran.

Kushina felt a little embarrassed. She realized her mistake and her cheeks turned red. She lowered her head and whispered to Hyuga Suzuran: "Hello, Sister Hyuga, I am Kushina."

Hinata Suzuran felt Kushina's sincerity and cuteness. She smiled and responded: "Hello, Kushina, I'm Hinata Suzuran. Nice to meet you."

"Thank you, Liuxia." Linglan's eyes flashed with gratitude, but she was worried that Liuxia had agreed reluctantly. Her voice softened, "If you don't want to, it's okay to refuse. I will explain to the clan leader."

Yanagishita shook his head slightly, signaling Linglan not to worry: "I didn't force it. It's my honor to be invited by the Hyuga clan. I also look forward to communicating with the clan leader. It will benefit both of us."

After hearing this, Linglan finally felt relieved. She smiled with relief and said, "That's great. I believe the clan leader will be very happy to hear this news."

Kushina, who was standing by, saw the conversation between the two and interrupted, "Brother Yanagishita, I also hope to go to the Hyuga family with you to see it."

Hinata Suzuran thought about it, then nodded in agreement: "Of course, Kushina. We in the Hyuga family welcome you anytime."

Yanagishita turned to look at Kushina with a doting look in his eyes: "We can go together then. This will be a rare experience."

"Then we have a deal. I'll go back and inform the clan leader and elders. Yanagi and Kushina are awaiting your arrival." Hinata Suzuran still bowed respectfully and said goodbye to the two of them. Her figure gradually walked away in the afterglow of the setting sun, with a sense of relief at having completed the mission.

Kushina looked at Brother Yanagishita who was still watching Sister Suzuran leave, and a subtle emotion surged in her heart again.

"Brother Yanagishita, isn't Sister Suzuran very beautiful? I feel inferior to her!" There was a hint of childish envy and a yearning for beauty in Kushina's voice.

"Yes, she's very beautiful. Her long black hair is so pretty." Liuxia didn't realize that his good sister had learned to use tricks. His words revealed his admiration for Hinata Suzuran's beauty, but at the same time, he also inadvertently triggered Kushina's little thoughts.

"Of course, our Kushina is also very beautiful, especially this beautiful red hair, so beautiful, just like a maple leaf." Yanagishita added quickly, trying to comfort his sister's emotions, his words were full of pampering and sincerity.

"Brother Liuxia, what are maple leaves? And are there red leaves?" Kushina especially liked Liuxia praising her red hair, but she was curious about the red leaves Liuxia mentioned. Her eyes flashed with a desire for the unknown.

"Maple leaves, that's a kind of tree I saw in ancient books. Every autumn, its leaves turn bright red and are very beautiful." Liuxia explained patiently, his voice carrying a hint of nostalgia for his past life.

The two figures gradually walked away in the sunset, accompanied by Yanagishita's recollection of his past life. At the end of the road, Mito was already waiting for them at home, ready to share what they had seen and heard that day, as well as Yanagishita's upcoming trip to the Hyuga clan.
