Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 56 Talented Horses Are Common

Hinata Hyuga, the biggest eater in the ninja world, can eat even more than the Akimichi clan next door.

After ruling out the possibility that Hyuga Hiashi or Hyuga Rinka were playing too wildly, there is only one truth.

The bloodline is relatively pure.

It might be a case of atavism.

The ancestors of the Hyuga clan were the Otsutsuki clan, who were incredibly powerful and possessed a terrifying bloodline.

According to the law of conservation of energy, the purer the bloodline, the more difficult it is to develop.

Hunger is undoubtedly a signal from the body that it needs energy.

There's a saying that goes, "A fine horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye is rare."

No one knew about Hinata Hyuga's situation, and because of her introverted personality, she had never had enough to eat.

If you don't eat enough, you won't have enough strength.

Her potential cannot be realized.

In Hyuga Hiashi's opinion, he was terrible, and his talent was far inferior to Hyuga Neji's.

As the heir of the main family, this was undoubtedly not allowed.

That's quite pitiful.

Natsume glanced at her greasy mouth, pulled out a tissue, handed it to her, and said, "Wipe it off."

Hinata Hyuga nodded shyly.

This was the first time she had lost her composure.

Especially in front of outsiders, it seems so rude of him to eat chicken with his hands instead of chopsticks.

After wiping her mouth, Hinata wiped her hands to remove the oil.

"Are you full?"

Natsume asked again.

Hinata hesitated for two seconds, remembering what he had said earlier: she could be more free in front of him and didn't have to lie.

"no."

She nodded, and although she was being honest, this admission of her appetite made her very embarrassed.

Knew it.

Natsume said apologetically, "I don't have any food on me right now, I'll give you some later."

When he left, he only took a plate of roast chicken.

But he dared not leave, fearing that Samoya would come looking for him and take the little girl away.

If, due to his butterfly effect, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't stop him, that would be outrageous.

Hinata Hyuga nodded obediently.

But a moment later, she suddenly realized the problem.

Why is Natsume here?

And judging from the situation, they sneaked in.

"You...you came specifically to...bring me food?"

Hinata Hyuga kept her head down, not daring to look at him, her two fingers fidgeting nervously.

Your reaction time is really long.

It's a good thing you ran into me.

Natsume thought for a moment and said, "I saw some ninjas from Kumogakure acting suspiciously, which might be a threat to you, so I came to see you."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga opened her eyes wide.

It was a reason she hadn't considered.

But after the initial shock came gratitude.

This is the third time he has been rescued.

She never even considered the possibility of lying.

Natsume felt pressured by those innocent eyes.

He suddenly understood Tsunade; no wonder she couldn't hold on.

"Thanks."

Hinata Hyuga glanced at him, then quickly looked away.

"You're welcome."

Natsume stroked her soft hair, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and summoned a slug the size of a fist.

"This is?"

Hinata Hyuga looked at the soft, white thing and couldn't help but ask.

"I'll leave my summoned beast with you for now."

Natsume didn't explain, but said, "Remember to hide."

He turned and went to the gate.

The pre-arranged warning has been triggered.

Samoya is not far away.

It won't take more than a few seconds to find Hinata Hyuga.

Natsume climbed out of the window again.

Hinata Hyuga instinctively wanted to run over, but remembering his words, she hid in the closet.

She was quite scared at first.

But now that there are slugs, that tension has eased considerably.

"So gentle."

Hinata Hyuga realized Natsume's intention in giving the slug the gift.

She raised her hand and placed it on her heart, feeling it beating very fast.

Although she didn't know what kind of emotion it was, she knew she was happy.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, she received many precious and rare gifts tonight.

But in her heart, nothing could compare to that chicken leg that cost almost nothing.

"Who?"

Satsuma suddenly turned his head and saw a boy who looked somewhat familiar.

Natsume looked regretful; his stealth skills were still not up to par.

I originally intended to go around behind him and give him a kidney shot.

"It's you!"

Satsuma Yoru's expression turned grim. "Natsume, Tsunade's apprentice."

"Am I that famous now?"

Natsume was a little confused when his name was called.

Samoya was too lazy to explain.

He recognized Natsume, not because he was famous, but because he had participated in the battle that flooded the Cloud Ninja.

Unfortunately, he was the one who drowned, but luckily he survived and saw the little devil again.

The next moment, his figure blended into the night, and with incredible speed, he drew his sword and slashed at Natsume.

Satsuma Yoru did not use ninjutsu.

He was still hoping to quickly deal with Natsume before going to find Hinata Hyuga.

But as it turns out, he was dreaming.

In an instant, Natsume drew the Thunder God Sword, channeled chakra into it, and revealed a golden-yellow blade.

Samoya's eyes widened.

Thor's sword sliced ​​through his longsword as easily as cutting tofu, and its momentum showed no sign of diminishing, threatening to cut him in half.

But he reacted quickly, sliding backward and then somersaulting to avoid the attack.

Natsume lunged forward, and with a swift movement, his knife fell.

Samoya sensed the danger, gritted his teeth, and with lightning crackling from his body, he dodged the Thunder God's Sword and ran away.

Failing to win over Natsume in a short time already signifies failure.

No matter how relaxed the Hyuga clan is, they will eventually notice something.

"Intruder!"

Natsume shouted directly, giving him a small helping hand.

At the same time, he created Water Release: Water Fang Bullet at high speed, and the rotating water flow turned into bullets that flew out, slowing down Satsuma Yoru's speed.

The next moment, several dark figures suddenly appeared and surrounded him.

In the middle stands Hyuga Hiashi.

He glanced at Satsuma Yoru, then at Natsume, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Why did your village's ninjas attack me without provocation? Do you intend to start another war?"

Satsuma Yami realized he couldn't escape, so he preemptively accused the villain and asked...

He dared to kidnap Hinata Hyuga because he was certain that Konoha was unwilling to fight any more wars.

That is indeed the case.

However, the actions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Hiashi Hyuga in the original work are enough to make one's brain throb.

They actually made Hyuga Hizashi pay with his life.

Outrageous.

Didn't Hiruzen Sarutobi consider that this would discourage other ninjas?

Now, because of Natsume's intervention, Satsuma Yoru is still alive, and Kumogakure is in the wrong and has no excuse.

All that's left is to prove that it was indeed his fault.

Hiashi Hyuga naturally didn't believe Satsuma Yoru's words. He looked at Natsume, waiting for his explanation.

"I went out to use the restroom and saw him run into the inner courtyard. I became suspicious and followed him, but I didn't expect him to try to harm Hinata, so I stopped him."

After Natsume finished speaking, Hiashi Hyuga and the others were filled with rage and surrounded Satsuma Yoru with murderous intent.

A disciple of a Cloud Ninja and one of the Three Ninjas.

It goes without saying who to trust.

"He's slandering me!"

The Satsuma Night Shout.

"Then please explain why you are in the inner courtyard?"

Natsume delivered the decisive blow with ease.

Samoya suddenly stammered.

The inner courtyard was where the women lived.

Why would a normal customer wander around here for no reason?

It's not like he's surnamed Cao.

"Lord Hyuga, please leave this matter to the Hokage to handle, so as not to affect the peace talks between the two villages."

Natsume was afraid that Hiashi Hyuga would beat him to death in a fit of anger.

You didn't kill a Cloud Ninja, you killed your own brother.

Hiashi Hyuga, who was in a fit of anger, immediately calmed down. Satsuma Yoru was no ordinary Kumo ninja; he now represented Kumo ninja village.

He gave Natsume a grateful look and ordered his men to arrest the twelve Cloud Ninja who had attended the banquet and escort them to the Hokage Building.

[Because of your actions, Hyuga Hizashi's fate has changed; you have gained 80 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, Hyuga Neji's fate has changed. You have gained 29 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, Hinata Hyuga's fate has changed. You have gained 69 Fate Points.]

[Because of your actions, Hiashi Hyuga's fate has changed; you have gained seventeen Fate Points.]

What a bumper harvest!

Natsume's mood instantly brightened.

There's one last thing left to do tonight: deliver takeout to Hinata Hyuga.
