Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Karin saw through her thoughts and said helplessly, "Temari must have used a special method to conceal her chakra, so I can only ask you for help."

Under normal circumstances, if she's looking for someone, her Kagura-like insight is no less than her Byakugan.

But just now, after Temari entered a shopping mall, she suddenly couldn't sense the other person's chakra anymore.

With Shirokumo and Aoba in Konoha, she wasn't worried about Temari encountering any danger.

This situation clearly indicates that the other party has used special methods to block it.

This method of shielding chakra immediately reminded her of the special barrier at Shirakumo Aoba's house every night.

However, it's obvious that Temari couldn't possibly carry the barrier around; she must have used some special technique to shield her chakra.

Temari has been by Aoba's side for so long, it's normal for her to know some special techniques, since Aoba uses them every night.

However, in that case, it would be impossible to escape the X-ray vision of the Byakugan.

"Shielding chakra? Is Temari deliberately avoiding you?"

Hinata was even more confused.

Although Temari and Aoba were hostile towards each other for a period of time when they first became Aoba's fiancée, almost two years have passed now.

Moreover, Temari has always been someone who doesn't compete or fight for anything, so they've long since stopped caring about it.

"Because I really want to beat her up right now!"

Karin raised her right hand and clenched her fist.

She was clearly not joking.

This reaction made Hinata hesitate. Holding the teacup with both hands, she asked, "Why did you hit Temari?"

She needs to figure out the whole story; if she takes sides, Aoba-kun will hate her.

Karin glanced at Hanabi, Kurotsuchi, and Fu, who also looked on with curiosity.

Then he leaned close to Hinata's ear, raised his hand to cover his lips, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear that Temari had run away.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out immediately.

Karin had barely finished speaking when the teacup Hinata was holding suddenly developed numerous cracks, even without Hinata adding any chakra.

Immediately afterwards, with a "bang," the teacup shattered, and the tea inside splashed everywhere.

"Sister...Sister?"

Hanabi was startled; she hadn't seen her sister so enraged in a long time, which frightened her.

She raised her hand to wipe the tea that had just splashed on her face; it was warm, like splattered blood.

"call--"

Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at Hanabi, "Sister is alright, she'll be all sorted out soon."

She stood up, gently picked up the shards, threw them into the trash can, and then used her chakra to evaporate all the water.

After cleaning up all the traces, she looked at Karin, who was also somewhat stunned, with veins bulging around her eyes.

"Karin, let's go find Temari now."

"Huh? Uh, well... how about we grab something to eat first before we go?"

To be honest, Karin was somewhat frightened by Hinata's outburst.

If we go there now...

She was somewhat worried about Temari's safety.

"what?"

Hinata looked at Karin with a puzzled expression.

She seemed so eager just now, why is she not in a hurry now?

"This……"

Karin was worried that Hinata would kill Temari, but she couldn't say it outright, so she had to come up with other excuses.

"It's almost lunchtime. Even if we find Temari, it will be difficult for us to catch her quickly. Let's fill our stomachs first so we'll have more energy later."

Hinata thought about it and felt that Karin's words made sense.

Temari is quite strong, and since we're in Konoha, many of her ninjutsu can't be used. It would be better to have lunch first and then go find her when we have more energy.

"Then let's go to Ichiraku Ramen."

Ichiraku Ramen is located relatively close to the center of Konoha, so it's easy to find from anywhere.

"Row."

Karin had no objection to this.

"I also need to go!"

When Hanabi saw that the two had agreed to go out for dinner, she quickly raised her little hand.

"No, we have important business to attend to. Hanabi, you stay home!"

Hinata gently patted her head, refusing her offer to come along.

"elder sister……"

Hanabi immediately put on a pitiful expression, her watery eyes blinking.

"no!"

Hinata's tone was more serious this time when she refused.

This is an adult matter. Hanabi is still a child, and there are some things that are inconvenient to explain.

"No~"

Hanabi saw that Hinata still wouldn't budge, and although she was very curious about what it was, there was nothing she could do.

However, after Hinata and Karin left, the aggrieved expression on her face immediately disappeared, and she had other ideas in her mind.

She was very curious about what could have made her sister so angry.

Hanabi ran back to her bedroom, picked out a cute outfit to change into, and then hurriedly ran outside as well.

However, they ran right into Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ayako, who were returning home.

"Uh, Father, Mother, you're back."

Hanabi greeted the two with an awkward smile.

"Hmm? Hanabi, are you going out too?"

Hiashi Hyuga frowned immediately upon seeing the other person's attire.

Seeing Karin and the others leave, he was just about to come back and give Hanabi a good talking-to.

"I want to go to the Hokage Building to see Aoba-nii."

Hanabi replied, twisting her hair between her fingers.

Karin and Hinata went to Temari because this matter was definitely related to Aoba, so she decided to ask the person involved directly what had happened.

Looking for Aoba?

Hiashi Hyuga was slightly taken aback.

Hanabi's eyes darted around, and after coming up with an excuse in her mind, she immediately became righteous and confident.

"Since Brother Aoba has just become Hokage, and today is New Year's Day, I, as his disciple, should definitely pay him a visit."

That's true.

Upon hearing Hanabi's reason, Hyuga Hiashi nodded slightly.

When a teacher becomes Hokage, his disciples offer their blessings—that makes perfect sense.

"However, it's currently working hours at the Hokage Building, and if you go there now, you might disturb Aoba's work."

"It's almost lunchtime, and I'm just going to take a look. I won't disturb Brother Qingye."

Hanabi said very sensibly.

Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga fell into a brief moment of thought.

Seeing this, Ayako Hinata also asked Hanabi softly.

"Should we have lunch at home first and then go over?"

Hanabi shook her head. "No need, I'll just eat out. If I eat lunch at home, I might miss my lunch break."

"Hmm... then you must remember to eat lunch, and be careful on the road, the roads are very slippery today."

Ayako Hinata then stopped trying to dissuade him and instead began to emphasize the importance of safety.

"I know."

When Hanabi saw that her mother agreed, she resumed her playful and smiling demeanor.

Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said seriously.

"In that case, go ahead, but remember not to be impolite."

"Ok!"

-

On the other side, at Ichiraku Ramen.

Ayame smiled and placed the ramen in front of Sakura and Ino.

"Your ramen is ready, please enjoy."

"Huh? Sister Ayame, why is there so much char siu in today's ramen?"

Sakura looked at the large pieces of char siu in the bowl with some surprise.
