The Hyuga Clan Chief's Mansion.
Hinata walked up to her father, bowed in greeting and bowed her head in salute, and then knelt down on the tatami. The white, tender and delicate jade feet are everted, as oily as mutton-fat jade.
She lowered her head and lowered her eyes, feeling unusually in awe of everyone in front of her. Not daring to raise his head to look at each other, and not daring to speak loudly, he asked first after a long silence.
"Father, what do you want from me?"
Hinata Hinashi sat on the throne with a solemn expression, wearing blue and black clothing. Sitting on his knees for a long time made his legs thick. Hinata hasn't knelt down much since she was a child to avoid this negative consequence.
"The village will hold a high-level meeting in the near future, and it will be about Uzumaki Naruto." Hinata Hiashi's expressionless face showed no emotion, and he stared straight ahead with white eyes.
"I want to hear your opinion."
"I...I don't have any opinion." Hinata said hesitantly.
"Ninjas aren't for you."
"It's not a good thing to get too close to Naruto. It's very dangerous."
Facing her old father's denial, Hinata bit her lower lip, her heart already shaking.
She could vaguely guess the intention of her father's words, but her father was a silent and serious person, and he would not say too much about things that he felt were unnecessary.
It seems that everything I do is wrong, no matter what I like, it needs to be corrected. Whether he is a ninja or whether he likes people, it seems that his father has never been satisfied.
......(silence--)
Hyuga Hizatsu is not satisfied with his daughter who is timid by nature. She is not talented enough and does not have the courage required by the clan leader. The Hyuga clan needs a courageous person to take over the big responsibility.
He is more interested in raising Hanabi than Hinata.
But now, Hinata Hizu realized that something seemed a little unusual. This time, there was no introverted and timid response from her daughter, only endless silence.
"I'm sorry, Father... Please allow me to make my own decisions for once. I want to become a ninja according to my own wishes." Hinata said the rebellious words in the most cowardly tone.
"This is meaningless. You have no talent. It will only become more and more difficult to continue on the road of ninja." There is no emotion on Hinata Hizu's face, but his tone is unquestionable.
Hinata pursed her lips, shook her head and refused.
"Father, I don't want to give up."
...
Click, the lock on the door slowly turns.
The blond girl who had put on casual clothes pushed the door open and skillfully changed her shoes at the entrance. The graceful curves of her calves were clearly visible. The keys jingled on the shoe cabinet, and she walked to the living room with bare feet.
"Really, why did you fall asleep on the sofa again?" Ino tied up her long blond hair and complained as she walked, placing the food she was carrying on the table.
"You guy, what's wrong with you arrogating to give me the key without permission?"
Naruto, who was sleeping until he was confused, opened his eyes on the sofa, half-opened his eyes and glanced at Ino's back before falling asleep again. The latter walked to the sofa and stood with his arms akimbo, but he could only sigh.
Afternoon.
The two of them sat at the dining table. Ino looked at Naruto who looked sleep deprived and asked with a frown.
"Um, did you hear what I just said?"
"What are you talking about?" Naruto concentrated on eating without raising his head. "Thank you for the hospitality. The food is delicious. It must have been cooked by Ino himself. I ate it."
"Don't say such perfunctory and disgusting words, damn it." Ino wanted to hit Na Hundan's head with a spoon, clenching her fists.
"I'm telling the truth, it's delicious." Naruto said with sincerity.
It is much better to have someone to feed you than to cook or something yourself. Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, let’s praise it first. Rich girl, I’m hungry.
"Tch." Ino crossed her chest and turned her head to the other side, "I didn't do it."
"Impossible." Naruto didn't even think about it. It didn't matter who did it. Just praise Ino. "Anyway, I like to eat what you brought."
"This guy." Ino held up her forehead, "You really put a lot of effort into getting free food."
"I won't bring it to you again."
"Eh? You mean I can go to your house to eat?"
"Go to hell!" Ino's face turned red and she thought of the maid uniform again, "It's all your fault. Now my parents laugh when they see me, and I don't even have the shame to stay at home."
"You dare to mention it, I'll beat you up!"
"What happened that time was an accident. Didn't you say that your parents were not at home?" Naruto retorted.
"Well..." Ino had nothing to say and changed the subject. "What happened to the key?"
"Don't get me wrong, I just think it's too scary every time you knock on the door." Naruto put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Please be sure to accept the key."
"Huh? Scary?" Ino's cheeks bulged slightly, "Although I can understand what you say, after all, that kind of thing happened, but..."
She pretended to be calm, but her speech speed was obviously faster, and her fingers unconsciously entangled the golden hair on her shoulders.
"Well...it's easy to be misunderstood. Suddenly you have the key to the opposite sex's house. It would be very embarrassing if your parents find out about this."
"Huh?" Naruto looked confused, "Can't you hide it secretly?"
"ah??"
Ino swallowed hard, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Hiding secretly? Hiding it from everyone? This statement sounds very taboo!
It's broken, my brain is going to be burned out.
"Why are you blushing?" Naruto frowned slightly.
I feel like I didn’t say anything harsh. Isn’t it just hiding a key? Is Ino so honest?
"Who...who is blushing!" Ino stood up straight and walked quickly to the bathroom, "I'm going to wash my hands."
Naruto shrugged, even if Ino agreed. Anyway, I just got a backup key, it’s not a big problem, sit down and continue eating.
Ino walked out of the bathroom slowly, seemingly washing her face. The hair on his forehead was slightly damp, and his expression had returned to normal.
"How are you thinking about it?"
The wind from the balcony passed through the living room and rolled up Ino's skirt. She put her hands on her hips.
"Hmph, since you begged me, I will reluctantly accept it."
"Thank you very much." Naruto said cooperatively.
afternoon.
After Ino rinsed her mouth out from the bathroom, she waved to Naruto who was slumped on the sofa and said.
"Go out for a walk and tell you something."
Naruto put down the kissing paradise, glanced at Ino in confusion, and asked.
"Don't you have to go to the Hokage Building to resume your life tonight?"
"After being busy for a while, Asuma-sensei asked us to take two days off." Ino let her long hair loose, and then tied it up again skillfully, "You can't do tasks every day."
"What's going on?" Naruto put down the book reluctantly.
"It has something to do with you." Ino grabbed Naruto's wrist and pulled him up, dragging him to the door, turning around and saying fiercely.
"Let's go. I finally found out about it from my father."
