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

Even a small matter requires a lot of politeness.

"Thank you, Mom."

Hinata was also happy to hear that she could stay.

"Then Hinata, you need to be careful not to cause trouble for Lady Tsunade and the others."

Ayako Hinata smiled at Hinata, then looked at Aoba Shirakumo, "Aoba-kun, can you talk to your auntie alone?"

"Talk to me?"

Baiyun Qingye pointed to himself, somewhat surprised.

"Ah."

Ayako Hinata nodded.

Shirokumo Aoba had some guesses in his mind, probably because of Hinata.

"Ok."

Then Hinata watched as Shirokumo Aoba and her mother walked out of the room together.

Chapter 74 Hinata's Mother's Thank-You Gift

As she left the room, Ayako Hinata casually closed the door behind her.

"Aunt Ayako."

Standing outside the room, Shirokumo Aoba looked up at the other person and asked in confusion, "Did you come to see me because of Hinata?"

"Aoba-kun is very smart."

Hinata Ayako crouched down, keeping her gaze level with Shirakumo Aoba, thus avoiding the awkward situation where the other person would have to look up to speak to her.

At the same time, the smile on his face became even gentler.

It might be because of different ways of thinking.

Although Hiashi Hyuga disliked Aoba Shirakumo, the blond-haired man who might steal his daughter away.

However, Ayako Hinata still had a very good impression of Aoba Shirakumo.

It wasn't because of the other party's status as Tsunade's disciple, but because Shirokumo Aoba had indeed brought about a great change in her daughter, causing her to grow a lot.

In the past, Hinata not only had difficulty satisfying Hiashi Hyuga when she was training in Gentle Fist, but she was also likely to be bullied by other children even when she was walking down the street.

This made Ayako Hinata feel very sorry for her.

In order to train Hinata's character, Hiashi Hyuga rarely interfered.

Hinata's personality has changed somewhat because of Shirakumo Aoba's appearance, and she is very happy about it.

After a while, Hinata will go to the Ninja Academy, and she won't have to live in fear anymore.

"You must know Hinata's personality by now. Although she has changed a lot with your help, she is still a bit introverted."

"Sometimes she might do something impolite because she's shy. I hope you can be more understanding and take better care of her."

"can."

Baiyun Qingye answered the other party without hesitation and very seriously.

He would have done this even without Ayako Hyuga's request.

Hinata Ayako was naturally even happier to hear Shirakumo Aoba's answer.

"Thank you, Aoba-kun."

Looking at Bai Yunqingye's pretty and lovely face, she also had a serious expression on her face.

Ayako Hyuga couldn't resist reaching out and patting his head, saying, "When you take Hinata back home in the future, if you have time, you can come in and sit for a while. Auntie will treat you well."

Her tone was quite gentle.

But Bai Yunqingye couldn't help but twitch his lips as he listened. He could only listen to these words; he dared not enter the Hyuga clan's territory casually.

What if they put a sack over someone's head and beat them up?

Ayako Hyuga seemed to have noticed Shirakumo Aoba's concerns and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about Hiashi, I'll help you persuade him."

"Thank you... thank you, Aunt Ayako."

Baiyun Qingye never expected that her thoughts would be guessed.

"Then Auntie won't bother you any longer."

Ayako Hinata stood up, but just as she turned around, she suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"what happened?"

Baiyun Qingye was somewhat puzzled.

"I almost forgot."

Hinata Ayako fumbled around on her kimono's obi for a while before finally taking out what Shirakumo Aoba had been longing for most.

That was a stack of banknotes with a face value of ten thousand.

This was a well-prepared trip!

That hit his weak spot right on the head!

"I can't let you help me for nothing. Although there are only 100,000 taels here, it is a small token of my appreciation. Consider it a small gift for taking care of Hinata during this time."

Hinata Ayako handed the money in her hand to Shirakumo Aoba.

Shirokumo Aoba's eyes widened slightly. Logically speaking, he had his own purpose in taking care of Hinata.

Moreover, 100,000 taels is not a small amount for him, and he has already accepted money from Hyuga Hiashi once, so he shouldn't accept it a second time.

But since the other party had used this to test him, a veteran cadre, he also wanted to challenge his weakness.

"Thank you, Aunt Ayako."

Shirokumo Aoba accepted the money from Hinata Ayako and bowed politely in thanks.

Ayako Hyuga couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She noticed that Tsunade's disciple did indeed resemble her quite a bit.

They did have a somewhat mother-son feel to them.

"Then I'll be going now, so as not to disturb you any longer."

Hinata Ayako patted Shirakumo Aoba's head again, then turned and went downstairs.

"Let me see you off."

After putting the money away, Baiyun Qingye followed behind the other person.

He no longer minded the other person touching his head; if he could earn 100,000 taels of silver for each touch, he wouldn't mind touching his head until it was bald.

After the two went downstairs, Tsunade also looked over.

She is in much better spirits now, a far cry from her previous dejected state.

It's obvious that Ayako Hyuga gave her way too much.

"Lady Tsunade, congratulations on having such a good student."

It's no wonder she comes from a prominent family; even without leaving the house, she handles interpersonal relationships and social interactions very well.

Tsunade and Shirakumo Aoba both felt very pleased to hear Ayako Hyuga's words.

"Not bad."

Tsunade, who had just received a large sum of money, was in high spirits.

This time, he wasn't as stubborn as before.

Ayako Hyuga bowed slightly to Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, I apologize for disturbing you today. I will visit you another day."

Tsunade nodded as well.

After sending Hinata Ayako away from the ancestral home, Shirakumo Aoba returned to the house.

He found Tsunade looking at him with a big smile on her face.

"Teacher...is there something you need?"

"Kid, are you feeling pretty smug right now?"

"?"

You can't say that.

What are you trying to say?

Baiyun Qingye had a bad feeling.

"How much money did Ayako Hinata give you just now?"

Tsunade's hearing is quite remarkable; she overheard the gist of their conversation upstairs, except for the amount.

"Why are you asking this?" Bai Yunqingye suddenly became alert.

“You are still young, it’s not good for you to carry too much money. Your teacher can save it for you and give it to you as a dowry when you get married.”

Tsunade has clearly put herself in the role of a parent, which is unacceptable.

“I’m worried you’ll take my money and gamble it away.”

Baiyun Qingye speaks the truth.

"nonsense!"

Tsunade immediately bristled, "Kid, do you think that's the kind of person I am?"

Don't think about it, you are one!

"Teacher, what is Aunt Ayako's health condition?"

Baiyun Qingye changed the subject.

Based on his understanding of Tsunade, she didn't like to think things through, and after changing the subject, she would quickly forget about it.
