Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 32 The Legend of the Fastest Freebie

"Get moving, Hinata!"

Hinata Hyuga's face was pale with fear, and there were faint glimmers of tears in her eyes.

As the young lady of the Hyuga clan, she should have taught them a lesson after hearing their vulgar language about the Byakugan.

But in reality, her mind was blank, her limbs were weak, and she had completely forgotten the boxing techniques she had learned, making her increasingly helpless.

"He has no manners and deserves a beating!"

The sudden sound made Hinata Hyuga instinctively raise her head.

She witnessed a scene she would likely never forget.

The three streams of water, like whips, lashed the three unruly children, tearing their skin and causing them to bleed.

A heart-wrenching wail erupted.

Hinata Hyuga strained her eyes to get a clear look at Natsume's face.

pretty.

These three words popped into her mind.

Hinata Hyuga thought her cousin Neji Hyuga was good-looking enough, but she never expected that someone could be even better-looking, or rather, more handsome.

Are you alright?

Natsume looked at her absent-minded expression and wondered if she was frightened.

But the next moment, it was as if he had witnessed a magic trick.

Hinata Hyuga's originally slightly pale face quickly flushed red, turning as red as a ripe apple.

She lowered her head, her index fingers fidgeting nervously, and then said in a barely audible voice, "Thank...thank you."

Natsume secretly rejoiced that he was a ninja with hearing far exceeding that of ordinary people; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to hear anything.

[Because of your actions, Hinata Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained 100 Fate Points.]

Is it that easy?

Natsume almost suspected that there was something wrong with the Destiny Ring.

Hinata Hyuga is way too easy to kidnap!

He pondered for a moment and realized it made sense.

Our female lead was indeed quite shy or lacked courage in the early stages.

She grew up gradually.

To cultivate her favorability, it's very simple: just rescue her from the clutches of a naughty child.

But you only get one chance.

In the original work, it is Naruto Uzumaki.

Natsume has now taken the lead, and his appearance is quite popular with women.

[Because of your actions, Naruto's fate has changed. You have gained 39 Fate Points.]

The Ring of Fate sounded its notification again.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't contribute many Fate Points.

His fate will not change because of losing Hinata Hyuga.

How so?

Naruto Uzumaki is actually quite pitiful. He seems to have changed a lot, but nothing has really changed.

Even after becoming Hokage and saving the world, chaos still reigns, and wars continue.

So-called "verbal persuasion" is nothing more than the persuasive power derived from strength.

Jiraiya and the others didn't believe in talk-no-jutsu, but rather that Naruto Uzumaki had the power to bring peace.

Unfortunately, it did not come to fruition.

Hinata Hyuga didn't hear a reply for a long time, so she cautiously raised her head and saw Natsume with a bright and happy smile on his face.

She was momentarily startled, like a frightened little rabbit, and lowered her head again, not daring to look at him.

"What's your name?"

Looking at her like this, Natsume couldn't help but want to pinch her cheek.

Because they're so cute!

The only pity is that I had short hair when I was a child.

He prefers Hinata Hyuga's long hair, saying it looks better.

"Hinata Hinata."

Hinata Hyuga managed to say her name with great difficulty.

"Looking down like that isn't good for your back."

Natsume crouched down, patted her back, and said.

Hinata Hyuga trembled, and a blush spread from her face to her ears.

She looked up, feeling dizzy as if she had been soaking in a hot spring for a long time.

"Feed?"

Natsume quickly caught her as she fell.

This physique is truly unique.

"I... am fine."

Hinata Hyuga struggled to keep her balance.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Natsume was afraid she would faint, so he carried her to the Hyuga clan, where she would not only be subjected to scorn but also be beaten to death.

"I...I..."

Hinata Hyuga was clearly overloaded, as if steam was rising from her.

Natsume stopped teasing her, took a step back, and said softly, "No need to rush, think about it slowly."

After a moment, Hinata lowered her head again, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and said anxiously, "I...I don't remember the way."

Okay, I have no sense of direction.

Natsume recalled that Hinata Hyuga from her childhood did indeed have this character design.

That's pretty impressive.

Having the ability to roll one's eyes can also lead to getting lost.

The most outrageous thing is that so many members of the Hyuga clan did not notice Hinata's disappearance.

She's the eldest daughter of the main family, yet she doesn't care at all.

Natsume had never been to the Hyuga clan's territory, but he knew the general area.

Just as she was about to take Hinata Hyuga over, a dark shadow flashed in front of her.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

As he spoke, he looked at Natsume with a wary expression.

However, his expression softened slightly after noticing the Konoha headband on his head.

Hinata Hyuga shook her head.

"Since your guards have arrived, I won't escort you back."

Natsume gave a gentle smile and said, "Don't get lost next time."

He turned and left.

Hinata Hyuga suddenly felt a pang of panic and instinctively took a few steps forward.

Your name!

Before he could even utter those four words, Natsume had already vanished.

Hinata Hyuga's face showed disappointment.

"Young Miss, let's go back."

Hyuga Tokuma withdrew his gaze.

He had never met Natsume, but those two sentences just now indicated that he had just happened to encounter Hinata Hyuga who was lost, so there was no need to delve into it further.

Hinata Hyuga nodded casually in response, but inwardly she was filled with regret.

Who exactly are you?

This problem will probably trouble her for a long time.

Natsume returned to the Gunma Casino.

He was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't met Naruto Uzumaki.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he was always personally overseen by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Natsume once subtly asked Tsunade if she could adopt Naruto Uzumaki.

Putting aside Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki grew up with her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, from a young age.

Tsunade must have had a very close relationship with her, and adopting her son wouldn't be a big problem emotionally.

But that won't work.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently not allowing anyone to interfere.

Even Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya only allowed Naruto to be taught after they confirmed Naruto's Will of Fire.
