Konoha's Strongest Nine-Tailed Man Zhuli

Chapter 99
"Why are you here so late?" Sakura asked suspiciously, the appointment was at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.

"Well, I forgot that there was a clan meeting today, it just ended not long ago." Hinata felt embarrassed.

"That's it, then there's nothing we can do, come in." Sakura stepped aside.

Hinata nodded, walked into the entrance, changed her shoes here, took off her coat and scarf, and hung them on the hangers.

There is heating in the room, which is much warmer than outside, so there is no need to wear such thick clothes.

Sakura closed the door and went back to the living room first.

Hinata dawdled by the entrance for a while, then slowly entered, pretending to greet Naruto naturally.

When Hinata sat down directly opposite, Naruto poured her a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of her.

"I heard from Sakura that you have something related to practice and want to ask me for advice. What is it?"

That's right, that's why Hinata came to the door today.

Ever since Naruto made it clear a year ago, Hinata can no longer come whenever she wants, as before.

But only after Sakura knew about it and Naruto accepted it, could he come.

Hinata pulled herself together, took out the notebook from the small bag she was carrying, and unfolded a page.

Naruto took it curiously, Sakura didn't seem to care, but in fact, she glanced casually.

"It's like this." Hinata looked down at the table, stirring her fingers subconsciously.

"The chakra drill you told me more than a year ago, I have already repaired it, and I am thinking about how to make it more powerful."

"Inspired by fireworks, imitating the explosion of fireworks, can you make the chakra drill explode after hitting the target?"

"I have such an idea, but I don't know how to do it, how to realize it?"

"The Chakra drill exploded, uh." Looking at the notebook in his hand and listening to Hinata's explanation, Naruto pondered.

"In fact, there is no need to pursue explosion too much. When the quality of the chakra drill is high enough and it collides with other objects, the pressure from the outside will naturally make it explode."

"You are on the right path now, continue to improve your control and conciseness, and compress the highest quality Chakra in the shortest possible time."

"I know what to do, thank you." Hinata suddenly realized and thanked.

"No, I didn't say anything, you've done a good job." Naruto shook his head and returned the notebook.

Hinata put it away carefully.

After that, the atmosphere fell into a subtle silence.

Naruto reads novels.

Sakura reads novels.

Hinata looked at her fingers.

About half an hour later, Sakura took a peek at Hinata, seeing that she had no intention of leaving, then checked the time, 12:30.

"Yeah, that's all, Hinata, why don't we have lunch here?"

This is purely letting go.

Generally speaking, the owner means that you should leave, unless the owner is very urgent to keep you, otherwise you will know what to do.

"Okay." Hinata nodded in response, whether she really didn't know or pretended not to know, only she knew.

Sakura choked, laughed dryly, and got up to prepare lunch.

Don't get me wrong, she doesn't know how to cook yet, if dark cooking is considered a meal, then it's a different matter.

Hot pot base, ingredients, these things are bought ready-made, there is no need for Sakura to add anything, just pour it into the pot according to the instructions.

Hinata didn't just sit and wait, but went to the kitchen to help.

Soon, the steaming hot pot was placed on the induction cooker, bubbling.

There is a water-retaining partition in the pot, which is divided into three parts, so you don't have to worry about hygiene.

The three of them sat around the kotatsu, eating and chatting, most of them were Sakura, she picked up the topic, and Naruto occasionally made a conversation.

Hinata is usually introverted, with a shy smile on her face, but she doesn't talk much.

There is no permanent banquet in the world. After all, when the meal is finished, I help wash the dishes and chopsticks, and there is no reason to stay.

There were a few paintings in the bag that could be used as an excuse to ask Naruto for advice, but Hinata didn't take them out after hesitating.

There is a limit to everything, there is a bottom line, if the limit is exceeded and the line is stepped on, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will get angry.

And she has no malice herself, and she has no intention of destroying other people's feelings.

I just want to be around the person I like more, stay for a while, look through the corner of my eye, and occasionally hear the other person's voice, and I am very satisfied.

Thinking of this, Hinata bid farewell and left.

At the entrance, Hinata, who had already opened the door, stepped out with one foot, turned her head again, and stretched out her right hand in her coat pocket.

"This is the marshmallow I made myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Without waiting for Sakura to say anything, Hinata went outside, closed the door behind her back, skipped the stairs, jumped directly from the second floor, and ran home quickly.

Sakura held her forehead speechlessly, went back to the living room, knelt down beside Naruto, and put the small bag of cotton candy left by Hinata on the kotatsu.

"Try it, Hinata specially made it for you."

"Uh, you can eat, I can't eat sweets, my tooth hurts."

This excuse made Sakura happy, and she opened the bag with her hands, a faint sweet smell came out, and picked up a round marshmallow.

"What is this? A ball? A full moon? The sun? It should be the sun." Sakura said.

"I just don't know, does the sun refer to the Hyuga clan? Or someone?"

Naruto could not laugh or cry.

Sakura didn't eat it alone, she ate one for herself and one for Naruto until she finished the bag.

"Troublesome." Sakura sighed.

Knowing what Sakura was talking about, Naruto was silent.

Hundreds of meters away, Hinata leaned against the corner of the wall, her eyes were open.

Seeing that Naruto ate half of the marshmallow, he couldn't help but feel better, holding his small hand over his heart and smiling.

At first, when I learned that Naruto chose Sakura and confirmed the relationship, it was really bad during that time, and I was in a daze, not knowing how I got here.

When things get better gradually, gradually, this mentality is adjusted, and Hinata no longer extravagantly expects more.

She respects Naruto's choice.

At the same time, he and Sakura are good friends, and they will not fight or rob.

Secret love is also love, although it is a fruitless love.

"I'm about to graduate and become a ninja. I don't know which class I'll be assigned to?"

This is a major event that makes Hinata feel sad, troubled, and worried about gains and losses whenever he thinks about it when he is free.

To be honest, she wanted to be in the same class as Naruto, not for anything else but to see him often.

For this reason, when she realized this, Hinata would go to burn incense to her ancestors three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, praying for blessings.

He even asked the branch family members who went out to perform missions to ask for a lucky lottery for her when they passed by the Temple of Fire on their return.

Put aside whether you are working or not, the main thing is to make your heart feel at ease.

Under Hinata's anxious anticipation, the days passed day by day, and finally, on this day, she passed the graduation examination and got Konoha forehead protection.

On the podium, Iruka announced the classification results.

Hinata was very nervous, her palms were sweating all the time, and her heart was beating like a drum. It was an arduous wait, and finally her assignment was ushered in.

"Class Seven, Hinata Hinata, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno."

Sakura was stunned, but quickly cheered up and cheered: "Yeah!"

Hinata heaved a sigh of relief, and after realizing it, she broke out in a cold sweat.
