The captured Kumogakure ninja was sent to the Hokage Building as a witness.

On the second day of this incident, the Konoha high-level held an emergency meeting.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Ryosuke for the time being, because he is not qualified to attend such a meeting, so he can only wait for Hyuga Hiashi to return before he can learn from him about the subsequent handling of this matter.

"Miss Hinata, Master Ryosuke, the tempura in this restaurant is quite famous in the village. After we go on a mission, we often come here to get together."

The food street is a very lively area in Konoha Village, whether it is day or night.

There are all kinds of snacks such as meatballs, takoyaki, sushi, and fried skewers. In addition to some small stalls, there are also dessert shops and many popular restaurants.

For example, the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan, such as Ichiraku Noodle House.

At this time, Hyuga Ryosuke held Hinata's hand and stopped in front of a restaurant with a lot of traffic.

Behind them were two Hyuga elites as guards.

On the surface, they were sent by Hyuga Hiashi to protect Hinata, but secretly they were assigned to Ryosuke to be his right-hand men.

"Let's go here."

Looking at this restaurant full of fireworks, Hyuga Ryosuke nodded and looked at Hinata next to him gently, "I promised to take you out to play a few days ago, and I have fulfilled my promise."

The storefront of this restaurant is very large, just like a big cafeteria.

Looking inside from the door, both the hall and the front of the counter are full of people, and the smell of fireworks is strong. The taste of the food should be good.

"Yeah!"

Little Hinata looked very happy, staring at the store eagerly, her nose moving from time to time, deeply sniffing the delicious food coming from inside.

Although the four words "can't wait" were already written on her face, she still followed Ryosuke obediently.

"Let's go, go in and have a good meal, and then go shopping."

Looking at her cute appearance, Hyuga Ryosuke smiled softly and took Hinata's hand to go inside.

However, when he took a step forward, he found resistance in his palm, and the people around him stood still and did not follow.

Puzzled, Ryosuke turned his head and found that Hinata was staring at the front, and following her gaze, he saw a father and son walking out of the aisle with laughter.

They looked like they had finished their meal and were about to leave.

It seemed that the two people's attention attracted the attention of the father and son, and they looked over here.

The father's eyes were full of doubts, but after seeing the white eyes on their faces and the guards behind them, he quickly retracted his gaze and pulled his child to speed up the pace out.

But the child, after seeing Hinata, his eyes lit up and made a face at her before leaving.

Hinata's tension on her face was not suppressed until the father and son were far away.

Looking at her expression thoughtfully, Ryosuke did not say much, and gently pulled her palm, and this time she followed him into the store obediently.

The flow of people in the store is much more than what you see outside. There are ninjas, civilians, merchants and people of all professions.

They gather here, drinking and enjoying food, chatting about daily trivialities.

After Hyuga Ryosuke and his friends entered the store, the atmosphere in the store slowly became quieter, and many of them were secretly looking at them.

This restaurant is not small in scale, and for this reason, it has private room services.

The two guards behind him were responsible for negotiating with the boss. After explaining the food and private rooms, a young and beautiful girl came out from the other side of the cabinet. She seemed to be the boss's daughter.

She walked in front enthusiastically and was responsible for leading them.

In this way, under the attention of everyone in the store, Hyuga Ryosuke pulled Hinata towards the private room.

And after they left, the store occasionally heard discussions about their identities.

"That... is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, right?"

"It is said that she is weak, and it seems to be true."

"Who is the kid next to her?"

Although the discussion was subtle, it still reached the ears of Hyuga Ryosuke and the two Hyuga clan members behind him.

Except for Hinata, who was relatively young and had not yet been exposed to the perception of ninjutsu, they all heard these voices.

"Go and tell them to shut up."

Stopped his steps, Hyuga Ryosuke turned his head and ordered the guards behind him: "Soji, tell them that it is okay to talk behind Hinata's back, but it is too presumptuous to say bad things about me in front of me like this!"

After a pause, he repeated the key point again, "Remember, it is Hinata's message."

"Yes."

Behind Ryosuke, Hyuga Soji responded and turned to walk towards the lobby.

"Ryosuke-kun..."

Holding Hyuga Ryosuke's hand tightly, Hinata, who was in a bad mood just now because of the father and son, was a little at a loss. She didn't know what happened yet.

"Let's go, let's go in first." Ryosuke smiled gently, reaching out and stroking her hair.

Tempura is an extremely simple dish, just wrap the ingredients in batter and fry them.

But the simpler the dish, the more you want to give customers a different experience in the delicious taste of the food, the more advanced skills you need to bring out all the flavors of the ingredients.

"The trick is to control the heat and the frying time, which determine the taste of the final product."

Listening to the introduction of the boss's daughter, Ryosuke picked up a piece of fresh shrimp with a golden surface and a hissing sound just out of the frying pan, and put it to his mouth and took a bite.

A crisp snapping sound rang in his mouth, followed by the sweet taste of fresh shrimp exploding in his mouth.

Although it was fried, it was not greasy.

The chef had a very good grasp of the heat when cooking. The layer of golden flour wrapped on the outside of the shrimp was already cooked and red, but part of the shrimp meat inside was still raw.

It was also for this reason that the sweetness of the ingredients itself could be felt under the crispy coat.

After all the ordered food was served, everyone else left the room and did not disturb the two of them to eat.

The atmosphere in the room was very quiet. Except for the subtle chewing sound, there was no other sound.

Eating is a lonely thing for Ryosuke, and this habit has continued from his previous life to the present.

Because he had few friends since he was a child, he developed the habit of not talking when eating.

And if he didn't speak, Hinata would not take the initiative to find a topic.

The food in this restaurant is really good. After eating until he was 80% full, Ryosuke put down his chopsticks.

"I'm full."

Opposite him, Hinata spoke softly, also put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

"... Are you eating so little today? This is only four portions, not like your usual portion."

Ryosuke looked at the plate in front of her table in confusion, only four portions.

The restaurant does not eat staple food, and although the food they ordered is fried food, it is easy to get greasy, but you have to know that when she is at home, this little girl eats at least five bowls of rice in one meal.

"Is it because... I'm in a bad mood?" he continued to ask.

From the beginning, Hinata's interest has been low, and she was fine when she went out.

"No... no."

As if someone had hit the nail on the head, Hinata shook her head hurriedly.

"Is it because of the father and son just now?" Hyuga Ryosuke continued to speak, staring at her seriously.

And then the more flustered look on her face basically admitted the matter.

"Then let me guess... Is it that kid? Did he bully you before?"

With a gentle smile on his face, Ryosuke spoke slowly, trying to minimize the pressure on Hinata.

He was sure that the discussions of the diners outside had never reached Hinata's ears.

Then the reason why she was in a bad mood was the father and son she ran into when she entered the door just now.

And it was obvious that the middle-aged man still had some insight and knew what the Byakugan meant in Konoha, so it was only the child who looked innocent and knew nothing.
