Chapter 261 Kind-hearted Hinata and Straight-talking Naruto

Being an ordinary ninja might not be a bad thing for Hinata.

She disliked her oppressive family background; in comparison, the atmosphere at the ninja academy was much more relaxed.

Besides, her favorite Naruto is here too.

Compared to feudal families that openly displayed cannibalism, perhaps a school where everyone is equal is a better fit for her.

"This child is really kind."

"Yeah, it feels like she's being a little too kind."

Everyone has a good impression of Hinata, after all, kind people are never disliked no matter where they are.

Of course, exceptions exist for sanctimonious hypocrites.

However, everyone has their own opinions on Hinata's kindness.

Kakashi and his son felt that Hinata's personality was not suitable for being a ninja at all.

Unfortunately, being in a large clan like the Hyuga meant that not becoming a ninja was not an option.

From this perspective, the Uchiha clan is more humane.

The Uchiha clan also has many people who are not suitable to be ninjas. However, the clan does not force these people to become ninjas. Instead, they give them money to do business.

The Hyuga are different. Because the Byakugan can automatically awaken at a certain age, they are born to be ninjas.

"I don't think Hinata's personality is bad. She's just kind, not cowardly."

Clearly, Kushina did not agree with Kakashi and his son's views.

Beside her, Kurenai Yuhi nodded and said, "Yes, Hinata is not cowardly, and I also think she has an indomitable and tenacious personality. She is a very good ninja."

Since Kurenai, Hinata's mentor, had spoken, what could Kakashi and his son say? They could only shrug or shake their heads and move on from the topic.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, Hinata, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame formed Team 8.

Her white eyes, her sharp sense of smell, and Shino's ability to detect insects are all excellent reconnaissance skills; therefore, Team 8 is also known as the Reconnaissance Team.

Their teacher was the gentle and beautiful illusion master, Kurenai Yuhi. She trained and carried out missions with three others each day, and their lives were quite fulfilling.

[Until the Chunin Exams arrive.]

[In the first written test, Hinata sat next to Naruto.]

She finally mustered the courage to greet Naruto, but Naruto's inner monologue was: "When did this guy get here? I didn't even notice him. He's so invisible."

Shino: Am I inferior?

During the exam, Hinata noticed that Naruto was completely clueless, scratching his head and trying to figure out what to do. So, she offered him her test paper to copy. But the idiot was thinking: Why is she doing this? Is it some kind of strategy? Is she trying to trick me?

"I'm talking about our son."

Under the light screen, Kushina covered her face with one hand and placed the other on Naruto's head, saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

"what?"

Naruto was dumbfounded, not understanding why his mother said that.

"Hinata has been so proactive, why don't you understand? You still think she's trying to harm you."

"Well, I was too nervous at the time and didn't think that much about it."

"well"

Kushina sighed, pointed at Minato who was also embarrassed by Naruto's behavior, and said, "If only you had half of your father's talent..."

"Uh, Kushina, if you're talking about your son, just say it. Why are you dragging me into this?"

Kushina rolled her eyes at Minato and said, "Am I wrong? Don't think I don't know. You've been watching me since my first day at the Ninja Academy."

Well...

Minato was embarrassed; he had indeed felt a liking for Kushina, the girl with slightly red hair, the moment he first saw her.

Kushina's statement isn't entirely wrong.

"You'd better teach your son your flirting skills properly. With your son being so stupid, I don't know when I'll be able to hold my grandson."

"Naruto isn't even fifteen yet, isn't that too fast?"

"Fast my ass! When we got together, you weren't even fourteen yet. Why didn't you say that back then?"

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Seeing the bewildered Naruto, Minato realized he needed to give Naruto a proper lesson.

It's not good to always have Hinata taking the initiative.

[In the second exam, the Forest of Death, Hinata's Team 8 passed smoothly.]

A minor incident occurred on their way to pass the exam.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

[Three children witnessed Gaara's infamous slaughter and were nearly reduced to ashes.]

The third exam is divided into two parts. The first part is a 1v1 indoor match.

In this match, Kiba Inuzuka from Team 8 faced off against Naruto. Hinata was torn between wanting to cheer for Kiba on her own team and being unable to resist cheering for Naruto.

After the match, Hinata gave Naruto some medicine, but all she got in return was a "good guy" card.

[Naruto: Thank you, Hinata, you're such a kind person!]

"Snap!"

Kushina couldn't hold back any longer and punched Naruto hard on the head.

"Hey~ Mom, what are you doing?"

"My hands are itching, do you have a problem with that?"

"."

Naruto was speechless, looking at Minato with tears in his eyes.

Minato shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help.

In contrast, Kiba's reaction was much warmer. Ignoring his own injuries, he struggled to remind Hinata: "Be careful of the people behind you. If you encounter that Sand Village kid or Neji, just forfeit. They're too strong for you; you'll be covered in wounds."

[His mouth is like it's been blessed; the next match is Hinata versus Neji.]

Neji has always been troubled by his status as a member of the branch family. He is bound by the Caged Bird Seal, unable to gain freedom, and his Byakugan abilities have been crippled. His father even died for the main family, so he has long hated the main family and its eldest daughter, Hinata.

[The match begins, and Neji, before even moving an inch, launches his verbal attack: You should forfeit. I don't think you're cut out to be a ninja. You're too kind, always pandering to others. Someone like you is only fit to be a genin.]

After a barrage of words, Hinata's morale was severely dampened. She tried to explain that she actually wanted to change herself, but Neji poured cold water on her efforts.

Neji: A loser is a loser. You can't change that. Just like I'm from the branch family and you're from the main family, that can't be changed.

In the office, Tsunade, who hadn't said much until now, couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.

"This Neji is far too ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya replied, "There's nothing I can do about it; there's a reason for it."

"That's true. He was like a caged bird, witnessed the death of his own father, and as a member of the branch family, he couldn't even rebel against the main family. It's not surprising that he turned out this way. I'm quite curious, though, about how Neji's father, Hizashi, died."

"Well, you'll have to ask the old man about that."
