On the second day after the conversation, the document sent by Yuzuru Hinata arrived on the desk of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Look, show me all of you!"
The Daimyo of the Fire Country threw the documents in his hands to the ground in great rage, and said with an angry smile: "He wants me to cooperate with his time and finish the matter on the same day... In his eyes, does he regard the Daimyo as a real person?"
What, what do you think you are!?"
"Daimyo calm down..."
The ministers below were sitting in two rows. After hearing this, they hurriedly bowed to admonish the daimyo. However, these words to persuade him not to be too angry only made the daimyo feel even more angry. He slapped the table, stood up and said angrily: "
Tell the fifth generation of Konoha that I will never give him an official appointment from the Daming Palace!"
I originally thought that the ministers below me would be excited and excited at this moment, but who would have thought that at the same time the daimyo shouted these words, there was a sudden deathly silence below.
The daimyo was shocked and looked at the two ministers he relied on the most, but his eyes were evasive. After waiting for a while, someone said hesitantly.
"But, what if the Fifth Hokage uses this as an excuse to let Konoha leave the Land of Fire...?"
"He dares!? I want to see Konoha leave the Land of Fire..." The daimyo was about to rebuke angrily, but suddenly stopped. He stood there thoughtfully, and then sat down slumped without saying a word.
hair.
Seeing the sudden silence of his lord at this moment, the ministers below remained silent, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The minister who had just issued the reminder slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth. At this moment, everyone around him, including the daimyo, looked at him without any trace.
Therefore, he had no choice but to whisper again: "Now that Konoha is in the limelight and the morale in the village is high, even if he intends to leave the Fire Country at this moment, I am afraid that a large number of people will follow him, and we, the Fire Country
If there is no Konoha by then, I am afraid that other ninja villages will never miss the opportunity..."
"I am so angry!" The Daimyo of the Fire Country angrily slapped his palm on the low table in front of him. Everyone around him looked frightened, but when the anger on his face faded, the Daimyo's face was filled with nothing but
mocked.
He looked at the people in front of him indifferently, and his voice was hoarse: "Then you think... I should cooperate with him?"
No one said anything, and the daimyo put a tired hand on his forehead.
In fact, since the emergence of Ninja Village, the status of Daming Mansion has been reduced repeatedly. However, the country cannot do without this group of ninjas. Not only can it not be separated, but in order to ensure its own safety, it must spend large sums of money.
Smash it in and try every means to increase the number of ninjas to deal with the hidden villages in other countries.
When the weapon that had always been his own suddenly turned into a sharp knife pointed at him, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire discovered what kind of power this knife had.
The most terrifying thing was that he had no means of resistance at all. He asked in a low voice: "How many wandering ninjas and other ninjas from the Fire Nation clan have gathered now?"
"No more than a few hundred... With all due respect, today's Konoha soldiers are stronger and stronger than they were during the Senju Hashirama period. The ninjas we gathered... To be honest, I'm afraid the Fifth Generation
The Hokage alone can..."
"That's enough!" The daimyo interrupted him irritably. The minister lowered his head and said nothing, while the daimyo could only look at the ground dejectedly. After a long time, he whispered: "Promise him, July, I will do what he wants.
.”
There was a dead silence among the officials.
"Bring me some wine."
The sudden voice of the daimyo made the officials stunned for a moment. However, when they looked up again, what they saw was the daimyo with a calm face.
"Go and call the musicians and the chef to prepare a banquet. Today, I will have a feast for all the officials - I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
The maid below was stunned, until the daimyo glanced at her with an indifferent look, and then she hurriedly lowered her head and agreed: "Yes!"
...
Just when the daimyo was drunk and dreaming, Hinata Yuzuru was also in a banquet, but it was a family banquet.
Beside him, Hinata Hanabi, Hinata Hinata, Hinata Hinata and his wife, a total of five people, sat around a low table. The sumptuous dishes on the table were still steaming.
"Yuzuru-sama, please try this!" Hinata Hanabi saw that her family was very embarrassed, so she took the initiative to show a bright smile, and used her unused chopsticks to pick up a piece of fried pork chop for Hinata Yuzuru.
Hinata Yuzuru took the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Thank you, Hanabi."
Seeing him smiling at her, Hinata Hanabi was excited and happy. She said with a smile on her face: "On weekdays, I tell my classmates that Yuzuru-sama is my brother... and they still don't believe it!"
"Hanabi..." Hinata reached out and pulled the corner of her clothes, but Hanabi turned to look at her in surprise, not knowing what she had done wrong.
What happened between the Hyuga clan and the branch family has no impression or recognition at all for Hanabi. In her memory, Hyuga Hizashi has always been the patriarch of the family, and Hyuga Yuzuru is the Hyuga clan.
pride and glory.
He is the first person in the Hyuga clan to become Hokage, and he is also the fifth generation that everyone praises today. He is also the child of his father's sibling, and his brother...
Hanabi silently tilted her head, her long hair brushing past her eyes, looking at Hinata with some confusion, but Hinata lowered her head stiffly: "Calling me brother, it's a bit...too rude..."
"No." Hyuga Yuzuru smiled calmly and said softly: "Actually, the same goes for you. At home, I still hope that you can regard me as an elder brother and a clan member, not as Hokage."
"Yes... Yuzuru... brother." Hinata changed her words with some difficulty, but Hanabi's eyes lit up: "Is it really okay!?"
"Um."
Yuzuru Hinata tasted the fried pork cutlet and said to Mrs. Hinata: "Your fried pork cutlet is very delicious. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It also allows the gravy to present such a salty and umami flavor. No side dishes or sauces are needed.
It can be so delicious..."
"That's right! Mom usually finds it too troublesome and doesn't want to do more. This time, I can be regarded as taking advantage of Yuzuru-san, hehe..." Hinata Hanabi smiled, but found that the emotions of mother and father seemed to be the same.
She couldn't mention it. As a girl who was only five years younger than Hinata but relatively precocious, she vaguely sensed that something was not right.
Her excited expression softened slightly, and she looked thoughtfully at her relatives beside her. It wasn't until Hinata and his wife realized that she and his wife seemed to be a little cold, that she spoke calmly and gently, trying to find a topic.
: "Yuzuru-sama..."
"Call me Yuzuru." Hinata Yuzuru smiled, put down his chopsticks, looked at the different expressions of several people, and could only explain the purpose of his visit: "Don't think too much, I came this time just because I haven't talked to my family for a long time.
Chat...Hinata, after graduation, what are you dissatisfied about becoming a ninja?"
"No! My companions are very kind to me, and Kakashi-sensei is also very responsible..." Hinata shook her head hastily, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head and whispered: "I have nothing to be dissatisfied with...
"
Hinata Yuzuru nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and chatted with Hinata Hizashi about home affairs as if eating at home.
It had been a long time since he had been alone with Hinata Yuzuru. The fifth generation Hokage in front of him, who was wearing a god robe and had long white hair and blue eyes, gradually became acquainted with Hinata Yuzuru, the man who had personally changed his life on a rainy night.
The image of the boy of destiny slowly came together.
Some changes do not refer to appearance, but to...attitude.
Although such slander seemed inappropriate, Hinata Hizu truly felt that although the man in front of him looked the same as before, acting gentle and easy-going, it gave him a sense of... reality.
Originally, even when he looked at Hyuga Yuzuru with a smile on his face, there was always a vague chill in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. However, although Hinata Yuzuru now looks more energetic and sharp than before, on the contrary
Make him feel more at ease.
I can't say the reason, but as the meal continued, Hinata's attitude soon became gentler. He took the initiative to find topics. Although it was still a bit 'deliberate', it could be seen from the conversation that everyone
They all relaxed a lot.
Over the years, Hyuga Yuzuru has been indifferent to him, and Hizashi's attitude towards him has remained the same. Although some barriers may be difficult to completely dissolve, he has gradually become accustomed to his current identity, and is used to being a quiet person.
'Former clan leader', 'brother of the current clan leader'.
When the meal was over, Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at Hinata and Hanabi, seemingly chatting unintentionally: "It's rare that you have free time today, do you want to go to the training ground together?"
Hanabi was in high spirits: "Okay!"
Hinata nodded silently, while Hinata was thoughtful and just sent them out with a smile. When Hinata Yuzuru and the two little girls disappeared from the door of the house, the lady whispered in confusion: "Master Yuzuru, what are you doing?"
yes..."
"Perhaps Hinata's recent performance has made him feel something." Hinata Hiashi said with a complicated expression, sighing softly, but he just said casually: "It's okay, Hinata has indeed been slacking off recently. If Yuzuru
If the adults can enlighten her, maybe it will be more useful."
"I heard that today's ninjas don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield like you..." Mrs. Hinata just started, Hinata was silent for a moment, shook her head, and sighed noncommittally: "Let's see."
He no longer has much expectations for Hinata.
He only hoped that Hinata and Hanabi could live their lives peacefully and happily without suffering any suffering.
When Hinata Yuzuru arrived at the training ground, he didn't say much. He just asked the two sisters to do a set of soft boxing each, and then let them practice against each other.
Hanabi is still studying in the ninja school, but Hinata has already participated in the chunin exam. Even though Hanabi performed very well, she was still inferior to Hinata. However, during the battle, Hanabi was eager to try and full of fighting spirit. Hinata
Tian Qi always gave in to his sister, and from time to time, he would secretly glance at Hinata Yuzuru to observe his expression.
When Hanabi was out of breath, Hinata Yuzuru stopped the competition. In Hanabi's longing eyes, which were almost full of stars, she pointed out the shortcomings and problems of the two of them. Hanabi listened extremely seriously, while Hinata had always been gentle and well-behaved.
After guiding the two to train for a while, Hinata Yuzuru ended the training and sat on the wooden corridor outside the martial arts hall with the panting sisters. The maid brought warm tea and the three of them took a short rest here.
Hanabi was not used to drinking, so she put it down after a few sips, and curiously asked about Hinata Yuzuru's information. According to her, as long as it was related to the Fifth Hokage, there was no news in the school.
Very popular, especially among girls.
These girls are not only curious about his past experiences, but also curious about his height, weight, ideal type, favorite foods and drinks, and what are his hobbies...
It can be said that I really worship him like a star.
Hyuga Yuzuru didn't get impatient and answered everything he could. In just ten minutes, he gained a huge fan. Yuzuru's calls were so affectionate that he felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to his childhood.
a feeling of.
After she calmed down for a while, Hinata Yuzuru glanced at Hinata, who was still in a daze, and asked softly.
"What kind of people do you want to be in the future?"
Hanabi said without hesitation: "I want to become a good ninja like my sister!"
"Eh?!" Hinata didn't expect Hanabi to say that at all. She first looked at Hanabi blankly for a while, then glanced at Hinata Yuzuru in panic, and then stared at the ground with evasive eyes.
"Then what kind of ninja do you think Hinata is?"
Hinata Yuzuru continued to ask, and Hanabi said without hesitation: "Yeah...a gentle, strong, and kind ninja."
"I..." Hinata's cheeks turned red, and she really couldn't accept her praising herself so much, but Hanabi said it as a matter of course: "Brother Neji once said that in the Hyuga clan, except for Yuzuru,
Only Hinata-san can be called a genius - I also want to become a genius ninja of the Hyuga clan!"
How can I be considered a genius...
Hinata sighed in her heart, but saw Hinata Yuzuru nodding at this moment: "Hinata is indeed a genius."
Her eyes widened slightly, and she glanced at Hinata Yuzuru in disbelief, but her eyes met his, and then she looked away in panic.
"It's just that I don't think that the talents of ninjas, or the goals in life, need to be limited to the so-called strength.
In my opinion, every dream of becoming an excellent painter, an excellent musician, an excellent scientist, is worthy of respect.
Even if you are born into the Hyuga clan, you don't have to think about becoming an outstanding genius ninja.
I hope that everyone in Konoha can do what they like in the future. Hinata, what do you want to do in the future?"
Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at her, Hinata lowered her head at a loss: "I, I don't know..."
"Then think about it carefully." Hinata Yuzuru put his hand on her head after a long absence and rubbed it gently: "Even if you want to find a good boy to get married as soon as possible and become a qualified wife
, I am also very supportive."
"I, I, I..." Hinata blushed and was speechless. She didn't know who she was thinking of, and steam came out of her face as she hesitated, while Hinata Yuzuru just stood up with a smile: " The same goes for Hanabi. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. Usually after get off work, I still have plenty of time."
"Really!?" Hanabi's eyes lit up.
Hinata Yuzuru smiled and nodded.
Looking at Hinata who was still blushing and lowering her head without speaking, he raised his eyebrows and searched her social circle. In the end, no matter how he thought, it seemed that Hinata could become like this.
Only this guy Uzumaki Naruto...
ah...
Why not, let's put it together?
Thinking about it carefully, if he didn't work hard, that idiot Naruto would sooner or later become like Terumi Mei or Jiraiya, who couldn't get married at the age of thirty.
Hinata Yuzuru was thoughtful, with a wicked smile on his lips.
"By the way, Naruto Uzumaki..."
He said Naruto's name, and Hinata listened attentively, her ears moving slightly unconsciously.
Hinata Yuzuru smiled softly: "Hinata, what do you think of him?"
Hinata Hinata didn't expect that he would ask her. She was so panicked that she didn't know how to speak. Then, she saw even Hanabi staring at her thoughtfully.
"I don't mind if a child of the Hyuga clan marries a child from outside the clan."
"I, I'm not, I..." Hinata's face was completely blood red. In the end, she could only whimper in shame and panic. Finally, she lowered her head and whispered silently: "I didn't...
"
"Really? Then I'll go and make it clear to Naruto so that he won't be disappointed."
Hinata Yuzuru said casually and was about to leave, but Hinata stayed where she was, suddenly reaching out to stop her, racking her brains to think of a reason, and said randomly: "I, I just haven't thought about marrying him yet.
..."
He was talking nonsense, but there was only one thought in his mind: Why is Naruto-kun disappointed?
Huh? She wondered.
Huh!!?? Hinata's face turned blood red, and her eyes widened in shock and disbelief. She was shocked at the amount of information in Hinata Yuzuru's words, and also shocked that she seemed to have said something extraordinary just now.
However, Hinata Yuzuru leisurely and contentedly wore a narrow smile, stretched out his hand and nodded her head, and left with Hanabi, leaving only Yuzuru in the same place, hesitating to say something, hesitant to say something, and finally hesitant to say something.
, Hinata Hinata squatted helplessly on the ground, almost unconscious.
