Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 286 Hinata and Hanabi

Natsume's arrival caused a sensation.

With his track record, even without publicity, he is an idol in the hearts of many children.

After all, he is different from Hiruzen Sarutobi; he is not the strongest Hokage as claimed.

The previously quiet Class A of Grade 2 suddenly became noisy.

The teacher was about to reprimand Natsume when she saw him and quickly shut her mouth.

He knew why the Hokage had come.

After a moment of contemplation, he decisively ended get out of class early.

Anyway, it won't make a difference if it's just a few more minutes.

When he announced it with a smile, the classroom erupted in cheers.

Seeing the Hokage and getting out of school early—that's double the joy!

"Hokage-sama!"

Natsume was surrounded by a crowd.

He was somewhat helpless, but still greeted everyone with a smile.

After a few minutes of initial excitement, he was finally able to sell it.

"elder brother!"

Hinata Hanabi actually saw Natsume a long time ago.

However, as the second young lady of the Hyuga clan and the Hokage's sister, she maintained her composure and did not step forward.

Cough cough, mainly because it's too crowded.

After all the classmates had left, she hurriedly ran up to Natsume and greeted him with a smile.

"good afternoon."

Natsume reached out and patted her head.

Hinata Hanabi's smile grew even brighter.

"How was your day?"

Natsume asked casually.

"fine."

Hinata Hanabi tilted her head and said, "I just feel like I'm not learning anything."

Natsume was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, but not by much.

Because of his influence, Hinata Hyuga is far more powerful than in the original work.

Hinata Hanabi, aiming to emulate her older sister, naturally works diligently.

In addition, she received instruction from Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hinata from a young age.

Natsume would occasionally give her pointers.

This makes the things taught at ninja schools somewhat useless.

However, Hinata Hanabi still did her best.

Both theoretical and practical courses were ranked first.

In her words, she couldn't let the Hokage down.

"When the time is right, you can apply for graduation sooner."

Natsume smiled and said.

My sister-in-law is my own sister, so helping her out is no problem.

"Um!"

Hinata Hanabi nodded vigorously.

Her personality is actually stronger than Hinata Hyuga's.

They are very attentive in many ways.

"Let's go back."

Seeing this, Natsume walked outside.

Hinata Hanabi immediately followed and took his hand.

She smiled happily, and her steps became much lighter.

Natsume glanced at her and smiled.

The little girl is so cute, it makes me very happy.

Unlike before, she now exudes a more mature and composed demeanor.

When the two arrived at the school gate, they were both taken aback.

Hinata Hyuga was standing not far away.

Hinata Hanabi subconsciously released Natsume's hand.

She ran over and called out, "Sister!"

Hinata Hyuga smiled and patted her head, but her eyes were fixed on Natsume.

Natsume nodded at her.

Hinata Hanabi pouted, somewhat displeased, and called out again, "Sister!"

"What's wrong?"

Hinata Hyuga looked down at her and asked, "Does anyone at school bully you?"

"How dare they?"

Hinata Hanabi gave a light snort and said.

"Then what are you angry about?"

Hinata Hyuga asked with some confusion.

Hinata Hanabi hesitated for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away.

It's like an angry hamster.

Natsume couldn't help but laugh.

He stepped forward, patted their heads with one hand each, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to get something to eat."

"Yay!"

Hinata Hanabi immediately changed her attitude. She grabbed Natsume's hand and said, "I want to eat Thousand Sunshine Ice Cream."

In Konoha Village, the Wanli Sunshine Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of business operations.

One of them is a snack shop that specializes in drinks.

"Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea in this cold weather?"

Hinata Hyuga stood to the side and questioned her.

"No way!"

Hinata Hanabi turned to look at her, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Besides, my brother didn't say anything."

Hinata glared at her upon hearing this, then turned her gaze to Natsume.

"Then let's have one."

Natsume couldn't help but chuckle, "Hinata, you eat too."

Hinata Hyuga paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

Hinata Hanabi became even more smug, slightly raised her chin, and pulled Natsume forward.

"..."

Hinata Hyuga was somewhat disappointed.

She was just about to hold hands with Hinata Hanabi, just like she did.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity was missed.

Hinata.

Natsume stopped and said, "Come here quickly."

Hinata Hyuga smiled and quickly ran forward.

Natsume reached out his hand, and she immediately grasped it.

The three people walked down the street, looking quite harmonious.

Soon, we arrived at the snack shop.

Hinata Hanabi let go of her hands and looked around to pick things out. Before long, she had taken quite a few items.

Hinata Hyuga held Natsume's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Feeling the warm touch, her face flushed slightly, but she smiled broadly.

"Hinata, what would you like to buy?"

Natsume asked.

"Anything is fine."

Hinata Hyuga took a few seconds to react. She lowered her head and said...

"Give!"

After her initial excitement subsided, Hinata Hanabi finally realized that she had an older sister.

She shoved a brightly colored ice cream into Hinata Hyuga's hand.

She had already eaten a third of her own ice cream.

The area around the small mouth was covered in white cream.

Seeing this, Natsume asked the shop assistant for some tissues.

He took out a piece of paper and wiped Hinata Hanabi's mouth.

Hinata Hyuga glanced at the two of them and immediately took a big bite of her ice cream.

A layer of white ice crystals also appeared on her small mouth.

Natsume pulled out another piece of paper and wiped her mouth with it.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Two younger sisters, how interesting."

Even Hinata Hyuga was affected, and she started acting cute.

"Buy several sets of fireworks, and bring some for other people too."

Natsume figured it was his own property anyway, so he could take it for free and not be polite.

Hinata Hanabi doesn't even know what politeness is.

With her Hokage brother around, she lived a carefree life from childhood.

In the original work, she defeated Hinata Hyuga and faced pressure to inherit the Hyuga clan.

But not now.

"I want this takoyaki!"

Hinata Hanabi started pointing and gesturing, "Three-color dango! Taiyaki! And coconut milk!"

The shop assistant immediately took out a plastic box to pack it up.

The employees here were informed in advance.

Any purchase made by Naruto fans will be free of charge.

In the end, Natsume left carrying large and small bags.

Hinata Hanabi walked with such joy that she seemed to have a breeze on her feet.

Hinata Hyuga was the only one with some regrets, because she couldn't hold hands with Hinata.

The three returned to the Hyuga clan.

Upon seeing Natsume, the guard at the gate immediately ran to inform Hiashi Hyuga.

As soon as Natsume entered the courtyard, his future father-in-law came out to greet him.

"Lord Hokage."

Hiashi Hyuga gave a stiff smile.

It's not that I disrespect Natsume, it's just that I don't smile often.

"Father."

Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga shouted.

"How could you let the Hokage carry things?"

Hiashi Hyuga straightened his face and asked.

"fine."

Natsume said nonchalantly, "I'd be ashamed to have my two younger sisters carry things."

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hanabi immediately made a face at Hyuga Hiashi.

Hinata patted her on the head, telling her to be serious.

Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi was not angry at all, but rather very happy.

This shows that the Hyuga clan is currently enjoying great favor from the gods.

As long as Natsume remains in power, their positions will be somewhat secure.

"These things are for you and Aunt Rinka."

Natsume paused for a moment, then said, "Let's call Hizashi-san and Neji over too."

"I'll have someone go and inform them."

Hiashi Hyuga quickly replied.

Natsume nodded and walked towards the living room.

He placed the plastic boxes on the table and opened them one by one.

"elder brother!"

Hinata Hanabi sat in the chair, restless and uneasy, her mouth agape.

Natsume picked up a string of three-colored dumplings and stuffed them into her mouth.

He glanced at Hinata Hyuga again; there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

This has to be fair.

Natsume picked up a wooden skewer, poked a piece of takoyaki, and placed it in front of her.

"Thanks."

Hinata Hyuga took a bite before accepting the food with her hand.

"Lord Hokage."

Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Rinka, Hyuga Hizashi, and Hyuga Neji walked in.

"Please sit wherever you like, don't be too polite, we're all family."

Natsume waved his hand and said.

Although they were just some cheap snacks, they dared not disobey the Hokage's orders.

Neji.

Natsume took a bite of the three-colored dumpling and asked, "How has Kimimaro been performing since joining your team?"

"very nice."

Hyuga Neji quickly swallowed a takoyaki and said, "His bloodline limit is outstanding; he can be considered the nemesis of taijutsu ninjas."

Because of Natsume, Kaguya Kimimaro received special attention from their team.

Li, who always enjoys challenging geniuses, had a sparring match with him that very day.

Without risking his life, Kaguya Kimimaro won.

Later, Neji Hyuga also became interested and extended an invitation to him.

The fight was quite difficult.

Kaguya Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) destined him to be covered in weapons from head to toe.

They have a significant advantage in close combat.

Moreover, he was already quite skilled in physical combat.

Of course, in terms of ranged attacks, Kaguya Kimimaro is no slouch either.

His ultimate skills are all area-of-effect attacks.

In the end, Neji Hyuga lost by half a point.

Of course, when it comes to friendly competition, we should stop when we've reached a point.

In actual combat, Hyuga Neji believed he still had a chance to win.

"That's good."

Natsume nodded and said.

"Kimimaro is very serious about carrying out his missions and is a qualified ninja."

Hyuga Neji thought for a moment and then added.

Although he didn't know much about Kaguya Kimimaro, he generally approved of his personality.

He is both a genius and resolute, neither rebellious nor impulsive.

He's an excellent teammate.

"Um."

Natsume responded and handed a scroll to Hyuga Hiashi.

"This is……?"

Hiashi Hyuga opened it with a puzzled look, his body trembled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

They actually managed to improve the caged bird?

The Hyuga clan had previously attempted to study caged birds.

But nothing came of it.

After all, this thing theoretically originated from the Otsutsuki clan.

It is of a very high level.

Otherwise, it would have been cracked by outsiders long ago, and the Byakugan would have been scattered to other ninja villages.

Why does the Hidden Cloud Village repeatedly plot against the Byakugan? They even went so far as to kidnap Hinata Hyuga.

It's because they are helpless with caged birds.

The others looked at his expression and exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if something terrible had happened.

Hyuga Hiashi hesitated for a moment before handing the scroll to Hyuga Hizashi.

Soon, he also showed a shocked expression.

Even more so than Hyuga Hiashi.

Because he was the one who separated from the family.

Moreover, he hadn't received any word of it.

Only Hiashi Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga knew about this.

After all, the caged bird is the foundation of the Hyuga clan.

It had never been handed over to an outsider before, let alone the Hokage.

If other members of the tribe find out, it will inevitably cause unrest.

Hyuga Hizashi glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, then at Natsume, and asked, "What... is this supposed to be?"

He still doesn't believe that the main family will give up control of the caged bird.

Perhaps, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"From now on, the Hyuga clan will no longer have branch families and main families."

Natsume said in a calm tone.

Apart from Hiashi Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga, everyone else stood there stunned.

Especially the father-son duo of Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Neji.

They had quite a few complaints about the caged birds.

Hyuga Hizashi's role is not prominent in the original work.

But it was quite obvious from the beginning that Hyuga Neji was constantly talking about fate and such.

The original author did not provide any solutions.

Instead, they killed him off, making him one of the only Konoha Twelve to sacrifice himself.

"What about the elders..."

Hyuga Hizashi snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but say something.

He was aware of Elder Hyuga Hiroshi's restlessness during this period.

In an effort to plant the Caged Bird Seito for Hinata Hanabi, a group of people banded together and caused a huge commotion at the clan meeting.

Although Hiashi Hyuga suppressed all of this, his dissatisfaction with him within the clan has increased considerably.

After all, according to tradition, he is not in the right in this matter.

Why should other family members be caged like birds, but your daughter doesn't want to?

"If you don't want to, then just deal with it."

Natsume chuckled softly.

Hyuga Hizashi's expression froze instantly.

His nonchalant tone made him suspect that Natsume was joking.

But considering his past behavior, it's certainly something he's capable of doing.

"I won't get involved in the specifics of how it's done."

Natsume patted Hinata Hyuga's head and said, "Since you don't have the courage, let the next generation do it."

Hinata Hizashi and Hyuga Neji were stunned.

Natsume's meaning is quite clear.

The plan is to let Hinata Hyuga handle it.

But will it really work?

However, Hinata Hyuga, who was always perceived as having a rather mild personality, did not react much after hearing Natsume's words.

This means she already knew.

Regardless of their reaction, the matter is settled.

Hiroshi Hyuga, completely unaware of what was happening, was actually heading down a path of self-destruction.

The brief gathering came to an end.

At the door.

After greeting Natsume and Hiashi Hyuga, he turned to his two younger sisters.

No, that's not right either. One of them is an apprentice.

However, they always address each other as "brother," so calling her "sister" isn't a big problem.

"Remember to visit me often."

Hinata Hanabi grasped his hand and said pitifully.

Although she is the younger sister, she doesn't actually see Natsume very often.

One reason is that she herself is in school.

Secondly, because Natsume is the Hokage, he has all sorts of messy affairs.

"Okay, I got it."

Natsume smiled and waved his hand, saying...

"Pinky promise!"

Hinata Hanabi immediately became excited again.

Natsume extended his little finger and hooked it with hers.

It's almost as if they're saying, "A liar will have to swallow a thousand needles."

After finishing, Natsume looked at Hinata Hyuga and extended his little finger as well.

"Alright, you guys can go back now."

He waved his hand and disappeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
