Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 36 Planning
"If I didn't have a girlfriend, then I..."

"no!"

Matt Kai threw down the rag and jumped up.

He waved his hands and shook his head at Hui Li's small face, a strange blush spreading across his resolute features:

"I'll be arrested and thrown in jail."

"What are you thinking? I'm asking you to adopt me," Hui Li explained, her face full of exasperation.

"Adopt...adopt?"

Matt Kai froze, his eyes widening beneath his thick eyebrows.

This was indeed an answer he had never considered.

“You should be able to tell I’m not an ordinary person, right?” Hui Li picked up her cane from the ground and picked up the beige package.

Matt Kai nodded.

Who would carry so much cash when they go out?

Moreover, despite having his eyes covered, he moved so freely that it was hard to tell whether he was truly blind or pretending.

"I'm not a native of Konoha. I came here only to become a ninja. The Konoha Ninja Academy doesn't accept outsiders, so I have to find a way to get a Konoha residency."

A concise explanation of gray glass.

Seeing that Matt Kai's tense features relaxed slightly, clearly indicating he understood, he continued:
"You adopt me and help me become a Konoha ninja. I'll pay you a reward; it's a win-win situation, how about it?"

"This……"

Matt Kai hesitated.

He just turned twenty-one this year. He became a Jonin a year ago. He doesn't have a girlfriend and hasn't considered getting married or having children.

So adopting Gray Glass doesn't really cause any problems.

The key issue is that he is indeed short of money.

Knowing only physical skills, he can only accept combat-type missions.

Opening the Eight Gates once leaves him covered in injuries; sometimes, a single mission isn't even enough to cover his hospital bills in Konoha.

Not to mention the daily necessities such as food, clothing and other necessities.

Nutritional supplements, meat, medicine, and clothing wear and tear all consume a great deal of resources.

In other words, after becoming a Jonin, the rewards for the missions he could receive became increasingly generous; otherwise, he would probably still have to borrow money from his best friend Kakashi to make ends meet.

The terms of the deal proposed by Hui Li were indeed not difficult for him, and the reward was visibly generous.

But isn't this a bit too sudden?

We just met, exchanged names, and had a meal together, and now we're supposed to become family?
It seems a bit too...

Bang! Bang!
Two bricks slammed onto the floor in front of Matt Kai, the heavy sound like two sledgehammers striking his heart, shattering his composure.

"If you agree, from today onwards, I will provide you with all your food, clothing, daily necessities, training equipment, medicine, and ninja tools."

I don't feel bad for selling my father's land.

Not to mention the money was stolen.

Hui Li smoothed a strand of silver-gray hair from her temple, her tone unusually arrogant:
"I have some rare medicinal oils and secret formulas for practicing physical skills. They should be better than those on the market. I'll provide them to you for free."

As a family renowned for its martial arts, the Bamboo Clan actually knew quite a few of the relevant recipes.

“(⊙o⊙)”

The more Gray Li spoke, the more Matt Kai's expression softened.

Especially when it came to the secret medicine, the features of the cultivation maniac Might Guy visibly relaxed.

"Finally, I can give you a fixed allowance every month..."

"enough!"

Might Guy waved his hand to interrupt Gray, who was still escalating the situation, his eyes resolute and full of enthusiasm: "The Blue Beast of Konoha is at your service!"

……

slam-la-

Matt Kai was tidying up Grey Glass's guest room, organizing the bedding and other items on the bed.

Hui Li sat on the bench, watching A Kai busily cleaning, her cherry-pink lips curving into a beautiful arc.

The fish is hooked.

In the afternoon, as she scanned the streets of Konoha with her Byakugan, she spotted Might Guy sweating profusely in the training ground.

This caught the eye of Haili, who was looking for a powerful backer and to obtain Konoha residency.

Ah Kai is a good person with great skills, but he's not very smart and is also very poor.

Thinking about it, it's ridiculously appropriate.

Most importantly, that's the Eight Gates Formation!
His steel-like body is not afraid of being damaged, combined with the powerful chakra brought by the Eight Gates, and the ability to control his body by gathering the power of all the muscle fibers in one place.

Hui Li dared not imagine how terrifying her future physical skills would be.

So she waited for Akai all afternoon on the road she always took after leaving the training ground.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

Kind-hearted Guy couldn't bear to see the pitiful blind girl sleeping in the open on the streets of Konoha.

Before she could even utter her fabricated tragic backstory, he had already imagined her miserable fate and took her home.

This would save Hui Li from having to waste her breath. After all, Kakashi had been watching her from the tree for almost an afternoon and knew some of her secrets. Acting under such circumstances required a certain degree of conviction.

He should have already reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi by now!

Hui Li thought of Kakashi, who was yawning as he watched the "Make-Out Paradise" from the tree.

Sarutobi and Kakashi knew Guy's strength best. If she were with Guy, any schemes she might have would be suppressed by his powerful strength.

This way they can rest assured and won't send anyone else to monitor them.

Tomorrow, I will complete the adoption process with Akai to legally establish our kinship.

After that, she could freely display her talent and gain fame.

As long as it doesn't harm Konoha, no one will dare to lay a hand on her openly.

A powerful backer, a Konoha identity, a taijutsu instructor, a future sparring partner, the Eight Gates secret technique, plus a housekeeper who cleans and a chef who cooks.

Give Akai a salary.

She solved all the problems she encountered upon arriving in Konoha in one go. She didn't have to worry about the trivialities of life, allowing her to focus entirely on her path to becoming a stronger ninja.

Aside from needing to legally recognize a godfather, it's practically perfect.

dong dong dong...

Hearing the strange noise, Akai, who was wiping the headboard, quickly turned around.

But they found that Hui Li had already gone into the house.

"Uh... the room isn't ready yet."

No one has lived here for a long time; I've been using this place as a storage room. If Hui Li wants to rest, you can stay in my room for the night, and I'll move back here after I've tidied this place up.”

"Matt Kai said carefully."

His expression resembled that of a corporate slave accompanying his boss on a business trip.

Hui Li shook her head: "You're too slow to pack by yourself, I'll help you."

As he spoke, he bent down, picked up a clean rag, and followed Ah Kai to tidy up.

"Uh, this won't work."

"Nothing is impossible, Kai."

Hui Li turned the tarpaulin in her hand over and continued wiping the floor: "Although our relationship started with money, after tomorrow, we'll be family."

"family……"

Ah Kai's expression changed.

Since his father Matt Day passed away, he has been all alone, and the word "family" has become unfamiliar and distant to him.

wow-

The pile of clutter was accidentally knocked over by Gray Glass's elbow.

The spotless glass picture frame tumbled and fell, its target aimed directly at Gray Glass's forehead.

At this moment, Hui Li was still wiping with her head down, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

"careful!"

Kai was shocked and quickly reached out to grab it.

Swish!
A small, fair hand reached out and caught the photo frame precisely.

"Don't worry, Kai, I have my own way of perceiving things."

Handing the photo frame with two green figures printed on it back to Akai, Hui Li unhesitatingly revealed her sensory abilities.

"This is... a very important secret!"

"No secret is more important than family."

He blankly accepted the photo frame.

After glancing at Hui Li who had left a message, she squatted down again to clean the room.

Akai's rough fingers caressed the familiar yet unfamiliar man.

The girl's gentle voice echoed in his heart, mirroring his father's deep words from the past.

family?
Looking at Hui Li, who was squatting on the floor, busily tidying up.

Having lost his father and lived alone for a long time, Akai's lonely heart seemed to be filled with the shadow of his childhood.

He glanced at Kai from behind, who seemed lost in thought and dazed.

Hui Li's lips curved slightly.

That's why she insisted on coming to Konoha.

It doesn't matter what the original plot is like. Every time a butterfly flaps its wings, it can create a huge storm, let alone a living person like Hui Li?

The key point is that she is familiar with every key figure in Konoha.

As the saying goes.

It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature; everyone's weaknesses are hard to alter. By understanding these weaknesses, she can easily strike at the softest part of everyone's heart.

Starting from this point, nothing will be unsuccessful.

It's so much easier to survive in Konoha than in other mysterious and unknown ninja villages!
