Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Therefore, Hiruko cleverly broke through the sensory advantage that Kurama had given Mito.

"Well, let's gather Kamui first."

Hiruko pondered to himself, then followed his memory and headed towards Kakashi's house, preparing to stake out the place.

Suddenly, a cute girl rushed out from around the corner and bumped into Hiruko, who was too lazy to dodge.

The two lost their balance and fell to the ground.

In the end, the girl lay prone on the chest of Hiruko, who had deliberately lay down to stage an accident.

"what!"

Hyuga Hanabi gasped in surprise, scrambled off Hiruko, and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, it's my fault for not dodging in time."

After the girl stood up, Hiruko stood up gracefully, appearing very gentle and calm.

Hiruko was secretly delighted as he looked at the heir of the Hyuga main family who had just bumped into him.

Everything came to him effortlessly. He hadn't even come up with a suitable plan to abduct the child when his target came right at him.

He managed to find Obito while taking a walk, and now, having just arrived in Konoha, he's already run into one of his targets. His luck lately is truly extraordinary.

"Excuse me."

After regaining her footing, Hanabi noticed the "peer" in front of her who was about the same height as her.

Seeing the extraordinary handsome appearance of Beiliuhu, his fresh yet mysterious temperament, and his deep eyes that were like an abyss.

He exuded a captivating and strange charm, and Hanabi blushed for no reason, unable to help but whisper, "So cute, no, so handsome~"

"Oh no, sister!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something of utmost importance, Hanabi abruptly activated her Byakugan and anxiously looked around.

"Sister? Have you gotten lost from your family?" Hiruko asked with concern and a gentle voice.

"Yes... no!" Hanabi answered somewhat awkwardly, a blush rising on her cheeks.

She had secretly slipped out of the house to follow her sister, but she lost her way. She really didn't know how to bring this up!

"Byakugan? It seems you're from the Hyuga clan."

Hiruko tilted his head slightly, feigning thought. "Your age is similar to that of the outstanding heir of the Hyuga main family. Could you be the legendary genius of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hanabi, and your older sister is the future Seventh Hokage's wife, Hyuga Hinata?"

Hiruko deliberately pretended to make some deductions, trying to steer the conversation and break the slightly awkward deadlock, while subtly revealing her affection for Hanabi.

Chapter 229

While eating the dumplings, Hiruko had already gathered a lot of information from the casual conversations of those around him.

The manga has now spread throughout Konoha Village, and everyone has accepted Naruto's future Hokage status and that Hinata and Naruto are a couple.

"Huh? How did you know that!"

Hanabi's eyes widened in surprise, then she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, I'm not a genius at all. My sister always gave in to me. Neji is the real genius."

Hanabi, who is usually very straightforward, blushed instantly.

Being praised to her face by a handsome guy she liked at first sight made Hanabi feel ashamed, like she was being publicly executed.

Although I felt a strange sense of joy at being recognized, I couldn't help but lower my head shyly.

In the ninja world, people mature early; boys like pretty girls, and girls naturally like handsome boys.

It has to be said that having an exceptionally handsome face is still a big advantage among teenagers who haven't yet experienced war.

Looking at Hanabi, whose ears were red and who seemed at a loss, Hiruko had a sly glint in his eyes and a smile that unconsciously crept onto his lips. He had already sketched out his next course of action in his mind.

After evolving, his face became even more handsome, his temperament was gentle and refined, and he was surrounded by an indescribable affability, as if he was born with the ability to shorten the distance between people.

This ability surpasses even the tacit understanding between Shigeo and animals, and now it can easily influence human emotions.

Furthermore, the demons he created could subtly absorb the darkness and malice in people's hearts, making Hiruko appear to outsiders as a harmless and sunny gentle boy, which was extremely deceptive.

"Excellent people are always humble."

Hiruko's voice was gentle and magnetic, "I can see that you two sisters are very close. You must be worried about Hinata-sama and secretly followed her to protect her, right?"

Hinata-sama has a gentle and kind personality; she's truly blessed to have such a considerate and adorable little sister like you.

In his words, he cleverly praised both Hanabi and Hinata, precisely hitting Hanabi's weakness as a sister-complex character.

"Cute and cute..." Hanabi, who is usually carefree, was now as shy as Hinata, her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling, and her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, not daring to look directly into Hiruko's smiling eyes.

Upon seeing this, Hiruko's smile widened even further.

Even in his childhood form, he was still incredibly handsome. Even someone as straightforward as Hanabi couldn't resist his charm, and his mind was already somewhat dazed.

"I have some knowledge of tracking techniques. If you don't mind, I might be able to lend you a hand. I wonder if the lovely Miss Hanabi would be willing to accept my help as a friend?" Hiruko's words carried a hint of sincerity that left no room for refusal.

"name."

Hanabi muttered to herself, her voice soft yet resolute.

"Hmm?" Hiruko feigned confusion.

"your name."

Hanabi looked up, her cheeks still flushed, but her eyes were unusually bright. "Since we're friends, how can we not even know each other's names!"

“Friend A~” Hiruko whispered, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"Huh?" Hanabi looked blank, clearly not having heard clearly.

"No, it's nothing."

Hiruko quickly suppressed her smile and put on a serious expression. "I apologize for my rudeness. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Toneri, and it is an honor to be Miss Hanabi's friend."

As he spoke, he gracefully extended his hand, his slender, fair fingers particularly striking in the sunlight.

A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling Hiruko's snow-white, lustrous hair, which shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.

This gentle breeze, like an invisible hand, quietly stirred the already throbbing heart of the young girl, Hanabi.

Hanabi tilted her head slightly, looked at the handsome and extraordinary Toneri-kun in front of her, a shy blush rising on her face, and said softly, "Yes, Toneri-kun, from today onwards we are friends."

As she spoke, she slowly extended her soft, jade-like hand and gently grasped the hand that Hiruko offered.

In that instant, a strange sense of peace welled up inside me, as if as long as I was with the person in front of me, there was nothing to worry about.

Looking at Hanabi's incredibly cute face, Hiruko couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He was secretly pleased with himself.

Moreover, Hanabi's hands are soft and comfortable to hold, without becoming rough or having any adverse effects due to long-term practice of soft boxing.

Next, his plan was to continuously build up his favorability, gradually enter Hanabi's life, and plant a seed of kindness in her heart.

Hinata Hanabi is a strong-willed child with a great passion and dedication to practicing Gentle Fist.

Hiruko thought to himself that he could accompany her to practice Gentle Fist and use his own abilities to help her improve her cultivation.

After all, for a ninja, improvement in strength often increases mutual goodwill.

Under Hiruko's strategy of catering to her interests and deliberately getting close, the relationship between the sister-obsessed Hanabi and Hiruko grew increasingly intimate in the days that followed.

They often tracked down Hinata, who was following Naruto, and devised plans to protect her safety.

They would also sneak out to train and play, freely sweating in the mountains and forests.

They would also stroll through the bustling night market together and sample all sorts of delicious snacks.

Even after Hanabi took the initiative to invite him, Hiruko brazenly entered the Hyuga mansion and enjoyed a quiet and beautiful time with Hanabi in the private courtyard.

However, as the heir of the main family, Hanabi is naturally surrounded by many maids who take good care of her, and even bodyguards who are always on guard in secret.

At first, Hanabi would occasionally sneak out, but no one paid much attention.

However, if this happens too often, it will inevitably attract the attention of Hiashi Hyuga, and may even raise the suspicion of the Konoha leadership about the appearance of unfamiliar ninjas in the village.

However, Hiruko was prepared.

As early as the night after his first attempt to frame Hanabi, he had already gone to talk to and greeted Hyuga Hiashi beforehand, wearing clothes that looked like those of an ancient ninja sect and using the name Otsutsuki Toneri.

He solemnly claimed that he had come down from the moon to search for the stolen Gedo Mazo and to investigate the current situation in the ninja world.

During the conversation, he also deliberately revealed important information such as the existence of the manga and the future attack on Konoha by the Akatsuki organization.

He stated that he had decided to wait in Konoha, and that his encounter with Hanabi was just an unexpected bonus. However, he also needed a plausible identity to appear in Konoha, and hoped that his distant relative, Hiashi, could provide some assistance.

Hiruko already possessed the Byakugan, was skilled in Gentle Fist, and had her own unique understanding of it.

He was well-versed in many secrets, had a high level of expertise in Yin-Yang Escape, and even knew the Six Paths Immortal Arts.

This series of amazing abilities and knowledge left the Japanese team completely bewildered, and even with some doubts, they had no choice but to believe.

Having successfully deceived and won over Hyuga Hiashi in advance, there were naturally no obstacles between Hiruko and Hanabi, except for the occasional warning glance from Hyuga Neji who happened to pass by.

However, Hiruko was not concerned about this.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Hyuga clan's training grounds was incredibly lively.

The lively and adorable little girl Hanabi is practicing and sparring with the handsome and refined young boy Hiruko using Gentle Fist.

"It's about to start!" Hanabi called out playfully, her eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

"Hah—" With a crisp shout, Hanabi moved like lightning, rushing towards Hiruko, making cute "Ya! Ya! Ya!" sounds all the while.

When she attacked, her whole body emitted a bright blue chakra light, which looked quite powerful.

Unfortunately, all her attacks were skillfully neutralized by the sparring partner in front of her, as if Hiruko could predict her every move.

However, in order to test Hanabi's progress in her training, Hiruko deliberately held back and revealed a weakness.

Hanabi reacted quickly, seizing the rare opportunity and unleashing a series of fluid combos.

Baguazhang!

"Two palms!" "Four palms!" "Eight palms!" "Sixteen palms!" "Thirty-two palms!" "Sixty-four palms!!" Hanabi chanted incantations as she unleashed a powerful and fluid set of Hanabi-style Bagua Sixty-Four Palms.

The final blow struck Hiruko directly, causing him to spin around in circles, looking rather comical.

Although it's called Baguazhang, its moves mainly involve striking acupoints and meridians.
