Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 34 No Comparison, No Harm

Hinata Hyuga turned around, but instead of seeing her bodyguard Tokuma Hyuga, she saw only the heavy snow falling.

She got lost again.

Ever since Natsume saved her, she has been thinking about him constantly, wanting to see him again and ask him his name.

"Germany...between."

Hinata Hyuga called out softly.

She had been searching for the grove of trees where she had met Natsume, following the route she remembered, and she hadn't felt afraid.

But now that she was all alone, surrounded by nothing but whiteness, she couldn't help but feel panicked.

"Hey, you white-eyed monster! Stop right there!"

The sudden sound stirred up unpleasant memories for Hinata Hyuga.

She immediately froze on the spot.

Three tall children ran up to her.

"I heard you beat up Kyuju and the other two until they cried? That's disgusting."

The boy in the middle pushed her as he spoke.

Hinata suddenly collapsed onto the snow.

"Hahaha!"

The boy immediately grinned arrogantly and said, "Trash!"

Katsuyu and the other two were taught a lesson by Natsume, leaving them with psychological trauma. In addition, they didn't know who he was, so they didn't mention him.

His cronies, these three boys, learned that they had been beaten after encountering Hinata Hyuga, so they decided to avenge them.

Bullying.

In my past life, neon lights were very common, and even princesses couldn't avoid them.

If we switch to the Naruto world, we can understand why Hinata Hyuga is bullied.

"stop!"

"Who?"

The boy turned around and saw a blond little boy wearing a scarf, who looked to be about his age.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I'm the future Hokage!"

"Huh? The future Hokage? Are you an idiot?"

The boy scoffed at Naruto Uzumaki, who was speaking very seriously.

"asshole!"

Naruto Uzumaki was enraged.

But the next second, the boy punched him, and his face immediately swelled up and blood gushed from his nose.

"What future Hokage? Wearing a red scarf to look cool."

The three children ripped off Naruto's red scarf and started swinging on the swings.

Hinata Hyuga's expectations were dashed when she saw this, and she turned as white as snow in fright.

There's a saying that goes, "Without comparison, there is no harm."

She was quite grateful for Naruto's act of bravery.

But after making his move, he was instantly knocked down, leaving him in a very sorry state.

It reminded her of Natsume, who was both powerful and handsome.

In comparison, he appears exceptionally outstanding.

Water Release: Water Whip!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

A few seconds later, it was replaced by wailing.

Hinata Hyuga shuddered, and her eyes lit up.

It's him again.

Natsume thought it was pretty outrageous.

Hinata Hyuga managed to get lost twice, and was even bullied twice.

This time, Naruto Uzumaki has been added as well.

He really admired those three mischievous kids.

They're dancing in hell.

Whether it's Hinata Hyuga or Naruto Uzumaki, given their status, they could easily kill those three brats without any consequences.

Fortunately, the Ring of Fate did not provide any clues.

Natsume doesn't need to worry about Hinata Hyuga being kidnapped.

He went over, helped Naruto up, and handed him the torn red scarf.

"Can you still walk?"

For Natsume, this was undoubtedly a wonderful opportunity to come into contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

But Naruto's reaction was somewhat different from what he had expected.

He looked at Natsume with doubt and unease in his eyes, picked up the scarf, and left without saying a word, staggering away.

Because of his identity as a demon fox, Naruto Uzumaki was feared and shunned, and no one would help him.

Therefore, he believed that Natsume did not recognize him, and that his attitude would change drastically once he did.

Since that's the case, it would be better if he were sensible and left.

"Hinata, where are your guards?"

Natsume turned to the adorable little creature wearing a scarf and asked with a smile, "How did you get lost again?"

Hinata Hyuga froze for two seconds, then her face immediately turned bright red, looking like she was about to faint.

"Let me take you home first."

Natsume wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Naruto Uzumaki.

Hinata Hyuga's affection level has been maxed out, so we can ignore it for now.

This is a rare opportunity, we can't miss it.

He glanced in the direction Naruto had gone; if he was fast enough, he could catch up.

"What's your name...?"

Hinata was about to ask Natsume his name when she saw him bend down, pick her up, and then run quickly towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

Her eyes widened immediately, and upon feeling his white breath, she was overwhelmed by emotion and fainted.

In just three minutes, Natsume arrived at the gate of the Hyuga residence.

Hinata? Wake up.

He put Hinata down and shook her.

Not long after, I woke up.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're at your doorstep now. You shouldn't get lost anymore, right? See you next time."

Instantaneous movement technique.

He disappeared immediately.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga realized what was happening, looked around but couldn't see anyone, and finally, with her head hanging low, entered the courtyard.

I still don't know the name.

Natsume caught up with Naruto Uzumaki.

He had just arrived at the hot spring street.

Of course, he doesn't know Jiraiya yet, so he won't be soaking in the hot spring; he's here to buy things.

Although Naruto Uzumaki was beaten, his physique was too strong, and he had already recovered before even reaching the hospital.

"Boss, I want nine bowls of instant noodles!"

"It's you again?"

The shop owner looked disgusted and snapped, "I told you, I won't sell you anything again. Get out of here! If someone sees this, I'll be in trouble again."

He had sold Naruto instant noodles to him the last time he saw him looking pitiful.

But he was ostracized by his neighbors as a result.

When the entire Hidden Leaf Village believes that Naruto Uzumaki is the Demon Fox, anyone's compassion and conscience will be devoured.

Helping him means that I will be an outsider.

Between the pros and cons, the only option is to persecute this three-year-old child.

Whether it is a real fox spirit or not is no longer important.

This is the atmosphere, or public opinion.

Naruto's eyes dimmed, and the smile on his face froze.

Why does everyone treat me like this?

What did I do wrong?

A fox spirit? I'm human, not a fox. How do I resemble a fox?

"Boss, I'd like to buy a case of instant noodles."

The slightly familiar voice made Naruto Uzumaki look up.

It was the older brother who had just saved him.

"OK."

The boss's attitude changed instantly, becoming extremely enthusiastic.

Natsume paid for it and asked him to take another bag, which he then filled with nine buckets of instant noodles.

"A sincere offer of three hundred taels."

"what?"

Naruto Uzumaki timidly pointed to himself and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, didn't you want to buy instant noodles? I'll sell them to you."

Natsume raised an eyebrow, took three hundred taels from his hand, stuffed the plastic bag into his hand, and laughed, "After all that, I actually made thirty taels. It's not a loss."

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned and didn't react.

A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and asked, "I am the fox spirit everyone talks about. Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What's there to be afraid of with a little kid? Let me tell you, I specialize in dealing with vixens."

Natsume stood up and said, "I know a place that sells you things. I'll take you there."

Yes, his Wood Release is indeed effective against the Nine-Tails.

It's a cure for vixens, no doubt about it.
