Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 133 Why Are You So Skilled?
"Go on a date with me."

Her tone was relaxed and simple, as if she was talking about how beautiful the moonlight was tonight.

Hinata Yuzuru had to look at her formally, trying to see her true thoughts, but Uchiha Izumi just stood there calmly. After being stared at by him for a long time, she revealed a faint smile.

Are you serious?
Yes.

The two of them exchanged glances. Although no one spoke, it seemed as if they had already chatted for several sentences. Hinata Yuzuru pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Seeing that he agreed, Uchiha Izumi raised one corner of her mouth and looked at him from the side, which was actually a little charming. She lifted her short hair and said, "Then it's settled."

As soon as she finished speaking, her short hair suddenly ignited with small flames, which followed the hair and instantly burned her entire body. Her charming face turned into a cold and terrifying skeleton. The Sharingan in her pupils slowly turned, and she looked at him helplessly.

She really didn't seem to like the way she looked.

Hinata Yuzuru's eyes were shining - literally shining. His eyes were glowing blue, and the blue and white pupils in his eyes were like stars. He looked at the girl in front of him quietly, and from time to time he would tilt his head to look at her carefully.

Uchiha Izumi froze on the spot in discomfort, and suddenly thought in his head: Does the current self count as naked?
Well.
I guess so. Even my skin and flesh are gone. There should be no one more exposed than me.

Seeing Hinata Yuzuru becoming more and more fascinated, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly: "Is it beautiful?"

When she shook her head, sparks fell, and her short hair looked like a ribbon made of flames, constantly burning yet vaguely maintaining its shape. In Hinata Yuzuru's eyes, it looked really cool.

"Well, it looks good."

He spoke sincerely, and Uchiha Izumi put his hands on his hips and looked down at his own burning row of ribs in confusion, as if fueled by flesh and blood. He really couldn't understand what he thought was so beautiful.

However, despite this, she could not help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. Unfortunately, in the flames, this smile looked a bit evil.

Hinata Yuzuru was startled by her 'evil' smile and came back to his senses. The blue in his eyes faded away, and he said in amazement: "That's enough. It's hard to imagine that your Sharingan actually has a certain Yang escape attribute, which is rare. Or, maybe this is the so-called Yin attribute change?

This is beyond my knowledge for the time being, it is truly magical.”

Quan released the transformation, and the flames still began to fade spontaneously. The black hair, flesh and white skin returned to their original state as the flames faded away. Even the clothes remained unchanged, as if everything just now was an illusion. .

"Amazing." Hinata Yuzuru praised.

Just like the illusion blood of Kurama Yakumo, in this magical ninja world, there are always some abilities that are beyond his understanding, such as the gravity and repulsion that can be controlled by the Rinnegan, which makes people completely confused and unable to figure out how this thing works.

Perhaps, even these ninjas themselves may not be clear about the principles behind their own spells.

Hinata Yuzuru narrowed his eyes, thinking thoughtfully - but compared to other abilities, the battle armor that can be condensed by his eyes seems to be somewhat similar to Izumi's Mangekyo ability. Perhaps compared to the abilities of others, Izumi's transformation ability will be more meaningful to his research.

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Quan could not help but raise his eyebrows: I was staring at the skeleton just now, but now my eyes are dull and I don’t know what I am thinking about. This guy
She couldn't help but laugh twice, the laughter was light. Seeing that Ali was in a particularly happy mood, she took a step forward and said: "I can probably hold on for three minutes. Yuzuru-sama should also have something to say to Hatake-senpai." Come on, let’s go.”

Hinata Yuzuru hummed and walked forward casually side by side with her. Just as Izumi said, he was just walking forward aimlessly. In the distance of the dark world, a bonfire appeared.

Nohara Rin, who once stayed here, has disappeared. It is unknown whether she returned to the Pure Land in despair after meeting Obito, or went to some other place.

Watching from afar, Hinata Yuzuru stopped, and Izumi stopped as well. Without asking any questions, he just stared into the distance with wide eyes. However, he could only see two silver-haired men sitting with their backs to them, facing the campfire.

Hinata Yuzuru's eyes were gentle: "Give them a little more time."

It's rare to see Kakashi crying.

As if noticing the visitor, Kakashi reached out his hand, gently placed it on his father's shoulder, and whispered a few words to him. Konoha White Fang turned his head to look at Hinata Yuzuru with a gentle smile, and also said something to Kakashi. The corners of Kakashi's mouth under the mask slightly raised.

Hinata Yuzuru then took a step forward and walked closer.

"Godaime Hokage." Hatake Sakumo did not have the airs of a senior at all, nor did he give up his respect for the Hokage just because he was dead, even though the current Hokage was much younger than his child.

Perhaps, it was precisely because he paid so much attention to these 'rules' that were no different from beliefs to him that he finally embarked on the path of dying to clarify his ambition.

Hinata Yuzuru took off the fire hat on his head and smiled at him: "Senior White Fang, I have heard of your name for a long time."

"Really? I didn't expect that there would be someone in Konoha who still remembers me." Hatake Sakumo didn't expose it, but just smiled heartily. He stood up and looked at Kakashi who was even a little taller than him. His smile became brighter and gentler.

He turned his head to look at Hinata Yuzuru and said softly, "Thank you, Godaime-sama, for taking care of Kakashi over the years."

"Well, he is indeed a very troublesome guy." Hinata Yuzuru joked, and Kakashi rolled his eyes, but raised the corners of his mouth without saying a word.

Hatake Sakumo watched the interaction between the two, his smile widened, he lowered his eyes, and when the smile faded, he murmured in a low voice: "For so many years, I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father. Godaime-sama, I am relieved that Kakashi still has a friend like you."

He raised his head in relief and patted Kakashi on the back gently: "When we meet next time, don't be so young."

Kakashi's eyes only showed a little loneliness until now, but he had already seen him before, and he just nodded silently. It was obvious that his father was just a shadow, but maybe it was under the influence of Uchiha Izumi's pupil technique. , can still make Kakashi feel the clear touch of each other.

"Hatake-senpai."

Hinata Yuzuru opened his mouth and saw that both the father and son were looking at him. He couldn't help but smile and added, "I mean, Sakumo-senpai. No matter what others say, in my eyes, you are the ninja who truly inherited the will of fire.

I hope to record the story of Konoha White Fang and put it in school materials for future children to read.

I don’t know, Sakumo-senpai, do you agree? "

Hatake Sakumo was a little at a loss: "Me?"

"Ah."

Hinata Yuzuru nodded seriously, and then asked unconsciously: "Although it may not be appropriate to ask this question at this time, I want to record Senior Sakumo's true thoughts in the book, so please forgive my presumption - why did Senior White Fang, who was famous in the ninja world back then, choose such a path?"

Hatake Sakumo was silent, but Kakashi also turned his head to look at his father without leaving a trace because of this question.

He didn't ask before because he felt there was no need to dwell on things that had already passed. In his heart, he already vaguely understood why his father made that choice.

Can.
He also wanted to hear the real reason why his father chose to commit suicide.

Hatake Sakumo slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he seemed to recall what he was really thinking at that time.

Hatake Sakumo was a little embarrassed, but said frankly: "Maybe it's just because I'm too stupid."

He said in a low voice, sadly: "As a ninja, since the mission failed because of my choice, someone should take the responsibility. Rather than letting my companions suffer in the middle.

Rather than letting me watch the will of fire in my heart be stained with dust.

Why not let me carry the will of fire in my heart
Feel sorry. "

He stopped here, turned to look at Kakashi, and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry, Kakashi."

Kakashi said nothing, just shook his head and gently grasped his father's hand on his shoulder.

Hinata Yuzuru said seriously: "The darkness of the past cannot cover up the true flame. Senior Hatake Sakumo, I will learn from you."

Hatake Sakumo said with some shame: "Not me."

He still wanted to say something, but the three people in front of him couldn't help but floated slightly on their heels. Quan frowned slightly, and the kaleidoscope in his eyes sped up. Only then did they land again. She narrowed her eyes and remained calm. But several people present realized that there was not much time.

Hatake Sakumo simply stopped refusing. He was already a dead man anyway. He no longer cared about what was going on in Konoha or what his reputation was.

He just smiled in relief and suddenly asked, "Godaime-sama, is Kakashi married?"

"He hasn't even found a girlfriend." Hinata Yuzuru chuckled, turning to look at Kakashi, who held his hands in front of him with a calm expression, but it was too late.

As a super ninja who was once famous in the ninja world, White Fang's observation skills are very amazing. As early as Kakashi came in, he noticed the name of the book exposed in the corner of his tactical vest.

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but worry: "You can't get married just by reading this kind of book."

"I know, I know." Kakashi could no longer be as calm as when facing others, and smiled helplessly: "I'm still young."

"Time flies by quickly. Lord Kakashi Godaime, I'll leave his affairs to you." Hatake Sakumo looked into the distance and smiled slightly: "Well, I'll leave first."

He waited for Hinata Yuzuru to nod, then he finally took a step forward, stepped over the bonfire in front of him that had been burning for who knows how long, and walked towards the darkness in the distance.

The three people behind him slowly rose into the sky.

He turned his head and looked back, only to see Kakashi waving his hands vigorously at him. He smiled guiltily and with relief, and also stretched out his hand and waved gently at him.

When the three of them returned to the office, Kakashi's expression was still very complicated. Even though most of his face was covered with a mask, it could be seen that his mood was definitely not calm.

He raised his head and stared at the ceiling, wondering about something. After a while, he regained his usual calm and whispered, "Thank you."

Hinata Yuzuru just smiled. He never needed to be too polite with Kakashi. He just said gently, "I'll need your help with Naruto. By the way, there is something I want to know. Is there any problem with Hinata?"

Kakashi nodded first, and then said helplessly: "Hinata, she probably hasn't found her own ninja way yet.

We all become ninjas for different reasons, but she seems to have gradually lost her motivation and purpose to become a ninja."

Hinata Yuzuru groaned, as if thinking about something. He nodded and said, "I understand."

"You've worked hard, go back and rest." Hinata Yuzuru decided to let Kakashi go back and digest what happened today.

Kakashi nodded silently, then stopped before leaving and said, "Tomorrow, help me take out my eyes."

"Well, I'll do it myself." After Hinata Yuzuru finished speaking, Kakashi waved his hand: "I think Tsunade-senpai should be more reliable."

After saying that, his back disappeared from the door. Hinata Yuzuru smiled indifferently and turned his head. At this moment, Uchiha Izumi was looking at the floor with squinted eyes.

"Does it cost a lot?"

Hinata Yuzuru frowned slightly, but Uchiha Izumi just shook his head and raised his eyes again. His eyes had returned to their normal black pupils. She smiled and said, "It's not a big problem."

Who knows how big of a problem the Uchiha clan said is not big? Hyuga Yuzuru was noncommittal, but still warned: "Once an ordinary kaleidoscope is used frequently, it will cause vision loss, and if it is overused, it may even lead to blindness.

Always pay more attention. "

As far as he knew, Uchiha Izumi had always been a maverick in the clan, and her parents didn't interact much with the original Uchiha clan. There were some things that she might not know unless he told her.

"Yes." Uchiha Quan nodded and smiled: "If nothing unexpected happens, we will move out of the Uchiha clan in a while, and I also plan to move out of my home. Do you want to come when the time comes?"

???

Hinata Yuzuru really wanted to know if she had any other meaning in what she said, but the corners of her mouth were curled, and the meaning in her eyes did not seem so simple. Uchiha Izumi who suddenly became so brave made him feel a little uncomfortable, but in response to his invitation, he only said vaguely: "If necessary"

"After moving to the new house, according to custom, isn't it customary to entertain friends at home?" Uchiha Izumi pretended to be normal and said in a low voice: "I don't have any other friends."

"I see." Hinata Yuzuru sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Then are you still going to the date?"

"Of course, this is just a casual invitation from me. Anyway, thank you, Yuzuru-sama."

She smiled and turned away: "I'll wait for you to get off work."

It's as if you have to wait until I get off work before you can leave work.

Hinata Yuzuru shook his head and picked up the document to correct it, but the moment Uchiha Izumi opened the door, he couldn't help but stop. The two pairs of eyes met. Hinata Fumio's faint gaze swept past her side to look at Hinata Yuzuru inside, then turned back and looked at Uchiha Izumi.

Uchiha Izumi just smiled at her politely and calmly, then turned and walked into the security room in front of the Hokage's office.

Hinata Fumio subconsciously narrowed his eyes, staring at her back, as if thinking about something. He turned around and looked at Hinata Yuzuru who was processing documents with his head down. He didn't say anything, but just quietly walked into the room, closed the door, went to his desk to organize the documents, as if nothing had happened, and helped him deal with affairs as usual.

It was not until she was almost done with get off work that she asked softly, "What would Lord Yuzuru like to eat tonight?"

"Sorry, I have a date tonight." He did not hide it, and Hinata Xun said "oh" and smiled, without saying anything else, just quietly packed up his things: "What about tomorrow morning?"

"Well, just eat anything."

Hinata Yuzuru has never been very picky, mainly because there are only so many things that suit his taste, and Hinata Kaoru knows it very well.

Hearing his words, the smile on Hinata Xun's face became a little happier. She hummed and quietly went to finish her work.

Hinata Yuzuru finally realized that she was indirectly checking whether he would come home at night by whether he ate breakfast or not.
He smiled, looked down at the document, held up the side of his face with one hand, but his eyes were a little wandering.

When the working hours were over and it was time to get off work, Hinata Yuzuru, who always left work on time, was unusually silent and was still thinking about something. Hinata Fumio, on the other hand, was also rare. When it was time to get off work, he said hello to Hinata Yuzuru and left directly.

In the empty office, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his body, feeling warm. Hinata Yuzuru turned his head to look outside the village and stretched.

I sorted out my mood and walked out of the office.

Quan at the door had obviously been waiting for a long time. When he came out, he also went off work on time.

"Let's go change clothes first."

Hinata Yuzuru suggested, and Izumi nodded, but just said calmly: "I don't have any suitable clothes at home that I need to change into, so this is probably the only close combat uniform left."

"Then wait a moment." He returned home with a Flying Thunder God, and soon changed into an ordinary outfit. There was not even the Hyuga clan emblem on his white long-sleeved shirt, and the ordinary baseball cap he wore covered most of his long hair. Except for his eyes which were still somewhat captivating, at first glance, he was really far from his usual temperament.

"Let's go. It's hard for ordinary people to recognize me because of the illusion."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled slightly, and Uchiha Izumi only then noticed the faint pupil power and chakra fluctuations emanating from him, and was secretly surprised at how high his attainment in illusion had reached. But that was all, and she also smiled slightly in return: "Would you like to eat first?"

"it is good."

Hyuga Yuzuru did not refuse, but talked about where he was going with great interest: "Some time ago, a famous chef from the Fire Country came to Konoha and opened a barbecue restaurant. I don't know if it has been renovated now. No."

"Yeah." She didn't care where to eat. She stood beside him naturally and walked side by side with him. The two of them strolled on the streets of Konoha. Hinata Yuzuru, who was wearing casual clothes beside her, just used illusion to cover himself slightly. The villagers who saw him felt that Hinata Yuzuru was both familiar and unfamiliar. They couldn't recognize that he was the Fifth Hokage at all.

The tactical vest on Uchiha Izumi, and the cold face that seemed a little cold now when he calmed down, also had the attribute of persuading people to retreat. Ordinary villagers would not look at it again after taking one look at it. It was also rare for Hyuga Yuzuru to look like an ordinary person. Like everyone, enjoying the peaceful daily life in Konoha.

There were more and more high-rise buildings on both sides of the street. Hinata Yuzuru would look up from time to time and smile at the flashing colorful signs. This scene, which was more and more like his impression of the world before the time travel, always made him feel cozy and comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, in the distance, there was the rumbling sound of a motorcycle engine. On the now wide streets of Konoha, the villagers just avoided them slightly, and the motorcycles shuttled through them swiftly. Hinata Yuzuru looked into the distance and saw Tsunade riding on a motorcycle with a high-spirited look on her face, stepping on the throttle.

Shizune behind her would make crying pleading sounds from time to time, asking her to slow down, but Tsunade laughed and didn't slow down at all.

With her ability at the level of a Sannin, no one would be injured even if the motorcycle suddenly disintegrated on the spot.

"It seems that traffic laws and speed limit regulations should be put on the agenda sooner."

Hinata Yuzuru smiled, and Izumi stood on the side of the road, watching Tsunade whizzing along the road. Some of the villagers showed admiration on their faces, while others even shouted and cheered to satisfy Tsunade's vanity - motorcycles are still a rare thing nowadays, and there are not many people in Konoha who have them, and even fewer who ride them every day. For the villagers, not only do they not feel bored with this, but they find it extremely novel.

Uchiha Izumi smiled, looking at the wide roads, sidewalks and motor vehicle lanes that had been planned in the early stages of construction, and sighed: "I don't know what the streets of Konoha will look like in a few years. It’s like that.”

The most intuitive feeling of living in Konoha is that technology is developing too fast.

Ten years ago, there were only a few people living in apartment buildings, and the streets were just ordinary stone roads. But now there are high-rise buildings and neon lights everywhere, and the streets are also made of new materials. There are a lot of new ones every year. Things are put into the market and finally used by people in their lives.

Small music players and televisions, which are now being mass-produced, are expensive but readily available to most ninjas.

"Some time ago, someone in the Uchiha clan bought a motorcycle, but he was fined a lot of money by Senior Shisui because he disturbed the training by speeding in the training ground." Uchiha Izumi told him about the interesting things he encountered in life, which was also a brief introduction to help him understand the life of the people in Konoha nowadays. Hinata Yuzuru was not tired of talking to her, but was very interested in everything.

The two chatted relaxedly while walking through the streets of Konoha, but perhaps the current way of communication made Hinata Yuzuru more relaxed than when she was a child.

"Yuzuru, this..." She subconsciously called out Hinata Yuzuru's name, pointing to the cake in the transparent cabinet not far away. But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had omitted the honorifics. She turned her head to look at Hinata Yuzuru, only to see him smiling and saying, "Just call me that when you get off work."

"Yeah." She raised her lips slightly and pointed at the cake in the distance: "I haven't eaten it yet. Can you go buy one with me?"

Hinata Yuzuru thought about it and nodded: "Let's go."

Cake shops in Konoha usually don't open too late. If you buy them after you have eaten, they might be closed.

When they walked to the cake shop, the girl inside raised her voice and said, "Welcome!"

Uchiha Izumi looked at the dazzling array of cakes of various flavors in the cupboard in distress, staring at the different styles in a daze. After a while, he looked up as if asking for help, and the people in the store said with understanding.

"The new dark chocolate cake is selling very well."

She pointed to the chocolate cake in the cupboard, and Quan stopped hesitating and stretched out his hand, saying, "Please give me one."

"Both of them, pack them up first."

He looked at Quan and said softly, "Bring one back for Xun as well."

Uchiha Izumi's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Okay, but let me do the settlement."

She took out her wallet and paid the bill before Hinata Yuzuru. Looking at his helpless smile, the smile on her pretty face faded a little, but it was still obvious that she was in a good mood.

The two continued walking with the small cakes, and a two-story barbecue restaurant appeared in front of them. Hinata Yuzuru looked at it carefully and found that the price list written on the door was really not cheap. The prices were more than twice as high as those of ordinary barbecue restaurants in Konoha.

"Damingfu Barbecue".

There is also a brief introduction of the store and the chef below the store.

‘Our chef was once the official BBQ chef of the Fire Country’s Daming Prefecture’.

The simple name made Hyuga Yuzuru couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that even the cook of the Daimyo of the Fire Country would come to Konoha.

Suddenly, I felt like I was visiting the store with great interest before traveling through time.

There were only stairs and an entrance on the first floor. When I walked up to the second floor, I suddenly saw a large flat with a classic Japanese layout. Behind the long bar and long table was a long rock slab for barbecue. The chef in chef uniforms and several assistants were busy. When they saw the people coming, they all shouted in unison.

"welcome!"

After greeting, Hinata Yuzuru looked around and saw that there were not many people in the store at the moment. The consumption here was not low. Even for a Chunin, he probably couldn't come here to consume every day.

The decoration here is very modern. Probably because a designer from Konoha was invited to use the latest technology. Whether it is the lighting, seats, or cabinets, they are all in line with the modern style that Hinata Yuzuru likes, but it is also combined with the ancient Japanese style. At first glance, there is really no difference from the modern store before the time travel.

Yuzuru Hyuga and Izumi Uchiha were sitting at the bar. The guests Yuzuru Hinata looked familiar. He looked over and realized that they were acquaintances, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.

Seeing Uchiha Izumi appearing nearby, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma greeted her first, and then looked at Hinata Yuzuru. His simple illusion could only mislead civilians. Rather than causing any misunderstanding, he simply removed the illusion cover in the store.

The two people who were still sitting in their seats immediately stood up straight: "Godaime-sama."

"Yes~ I didn't disturb you." Hinata Yuzuru said with a smile, while Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma smiled awkwardly, but soon, Kurenai Yuhi looked at the two of them with an 'oh' look and a mischievous smile on her face.

"No, I just didn't expect that the Hokage would come here to eat." Asuma's expression was still a little unnatural. Facing the current Fifth Hokage, he didn't know why, but he always felt inexplicably unable to raise his head.

But Hyuga Yuzuru just raised his hand and waved, and said to the busy chefs and waiters on the side: "The Hokage is off work, and he is also an ordinary person. Anyway, you eat your food."

Kurenai Yuhi tugged at Asuma's sleeve, and Sarutobi Asuma tried to turn around, and said "Oh" twice: "Yes!"

The two chatted in low voices, but did not disturb Hinata Yuzuru. Hinata Yuzuru and Izumi looked at the menu. Izumi hadn't decided what to eat yet, so Hinata Yuzuru said casually, "Please order everything on the menu."

Yuhi Kurenai smiled lightly, but due to her status, she could not tease him. However, she could not help thinking in her heart: He is indeed the man who set the record of the highest number of 56 bowls of Konoha Ramen.
Izumi smiled relaxedly, took the water from the chef, and joked: "I almost forgot, with Yuzuru, you probably don't have to choose from the menu."

Hinata Yuzuru shrugged and started chatting with the chef.

The chef was busy preparing to grill him while nervously answering his questions.

"What kind of person is the Fire Country Daimyo like?"

"What are his hobbies?"

“What’s the average income there?”

"What are the current prices in the Fire Nation's capital?"

Hinata Yuzuru was casually chatting about family matters at first, but as the conversation went on, his occupational disease still came flooding back. It was not until Izumi gently nudged him with his elbow that he realized that the chef was so nervous that he didn't dare to start grilling the meat.

"Sorry, please cook carefully." He smiled apologetically and turned to look at Quan: "Where do you want to go after eating for a while?"

Izumi lifted her short hair and reached out to pick up the chopsticks for him and set them aside. "Want to go see a movie? The new movie by Fuji Fuze Yukie from the Land of Snow has only been released for two days. I heard it recently set a box office record."

"What movie?" He was a little interested.

"'Snow Love', I heard from my ANBU colleagues, is one of the rare movies that doesn't show off the power of ninjas to attract civilians and tells a story seriously."

After Izumi finished speaking, he shrugged and said, "But it probably won't be that good. But I heard from them that there will be a very interesting movie released next month."

"What?" Hinata Yuzuru asked doubtfully, and Uchiha Izumi looked at him with an inexplicable smile: ""Reply"."

He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a surprised look on his face: "Is it the one I know?"

"Well, it's the novel "Reply" that became popular in the ninja world, but you didn't even receive a dollar in copyright fees. Now it's going to be remade into a movie."

Izumi joked, while Hinata Yuzuru pretended to be angry and said, "If the filming is not good, I will find a ninja from Konoha to make him pay for it."

"The Naruto in the movie is a big hero."

After Uchiha Izumi finished speaking, he paused, his smile became lighter, but he said in a light voice: "It is the same in reality."

Hinata Yuzuru turned his head to look at her. Under the ambiguous dim light, the girl looked at him sideways. The faint smile on her usually cold face was particularly seductive.

"Signature diaphragm meat, please try it."

have nothing to say.

Just cook and that's it.

Hinata Yuzuru stopped talking, didn't respond, and concentrated on cooking. When he finally finished eating, it was already getting late, and Kurenai and Asuma had already left.

The prices on the menu were expensive, but when it came time to charge him, the chef insisted on giving him a discount and only charged him the cost price. After much persuasion, he finally gave him a 20% discount.

The two left the hotel and strolled down the street. Hinata Yuzuru looked at her clothes: "Forget about the movie, let's go buy you some clothes."

"Okay." She nodded nonchalantly, and the two of them went straight to the commercial district. Konoha had no curfew at the moment, and the bustling commercial street would not close until at least 10 o'clock in the evening. This was an incredible thing for Konoha in previous years.

As most villagers got jobs and the economic level rose rapidly, people's needs increased day by day, and the shops naturally adapted to the time of most civilians.

After get off work in the evening, walking around the streets with family and friends, shopping and eating has become the living habit of most Konoha people.

Hinata Yuzuru's illusion helped them blend into the crowd naturally like ordinary people. Even though they were already very full, they still ate all the snacks at the street stalls with great interest.

Quan couldn't eat anymore, but seeing him eating with relish, he couldn't help but took a couple of bites.

The two of them were walking down the street like good friends or a couple. When they came to a clothing store, she looked at the dazzling array of new clothes and hesitated.

Hinata Yuzuru didn't expect that Uchiha Izumi would show such an expression in front of the clothing store. He looked at her in confusion, but Uchiha Izumi sighed and lowered his head: "Help me choose."

She looked a little lonely, raised her head helplessly, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't think I can keep up with the trend."

Although these clothes looked very trendy and beautiful, for some reason, she felt at a loss. She didn't know which one was suitable for her or which one was in line with the current trend.

For a girl who is only eighteen years old, this is simply unbelievable.

But tonight, Izumi felt increasingly powerless - she, like Hinata Yuzuru, found the movies that most girls liked boring.

When girls like accessories, they often think about whether wearing them will affect their actions, rather than looking at them from an aesthetic point of view.

Looking at these beautiful clothes, I feel even more out of place with them.

Hinata Yuzuru was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently touched her head: "You look good in anything you wear. Come on, I'll pick something out for you."

It was a rare occasion that he touched her hair like he did when they were children. Izumi smiled, but felt that his movements were very skillful. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably the experience he accumulated from Hinata Kaoru.

Hinata Yuzuru carefully picked clothes for her, thinking about her current style. He did not choose some clothes that were too sexy or cute. Instead, he walked around and chose some more neutral outfits.

Black sports pants, white shirt, black windbreaker, and black boots for easy movement.

These clothes, which seem to be unmatched at first glance, look particularly heroic when Quan tries them on.

She looked in the mirror, turned around a few times, and said unconfidently, "Does this look good?"

I always feel that this is not the way a girl should dress.

Hinata Yuzuru hummed, thought for a moment, and began to pick different styles for her to try.

Tight blue jeans and white short-sleeved shirts, colorful shirts and short skirts, white sweaters with black mid-length skirts.
Quan was like a puppet, with different clothes being changed by him. At the end, he couldn't help but say, "It should be about right, right?"

Even the waiter was a little shocked. This was the first time she saw a boy dressing up a girl with more care and devotion than the girl herself.

Hinata Yuzuru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buy them all."

Izumi blinked, but Hinata Yuzuru smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I originally thought that you were only suitable for wearing such neutral styles, but I didn't expect that you would be suitable for anything."

Quan's cheeks were red, which was rare. She lowered her head. She was not used to the black skirt she was wearing at the moment. She subconsciously held down the hem of her skirt. The white shirt on her upper body was matched with a casual small tie. This combination was not good.
For her, who was already used to wearing combat uniforms, it was a little hard for her to adapt at first.

But Hinata Yuzuru was satisfied.

Izumi, dressed like a high school girl, fully demonstrated her youthful beauty. Her pretty face with short hair avoided her sight a little unnaturally. She nervously pressed down the hem of her skirt, looking shy and timid, but she pursed her lips tightly, looking a little cold.

Even if she were to travel through time to the modern era and play the role of a cold goddess senior in a youth romantic comedy, there would be no sense of incongruity.

It’s great to encourage freedom of dress!
Otherwise, in future ninja schools, girls will be given a set of uniforms like this for free.

He stared at them with a smile on his face until the waiter asked in a somewhat doubtful tone, "Do you really want to buy them all?"

"Well, buy all the clothes you've tried on."

He said with a smile.

Quan shook his head repeatedly: "I don't need so many clothes. I don't have many opportunities to wear them."

She lowered her eyes, and after a while, she raised the corners of her mouth: "But, if there were more days like today."

Hinata Yuzuru looked at her eyes and could only smile and go to check out, but Uchiha Izumi insisted on paying the money. When he left, he was carrying a lot of large and small bags, so Hinata Yuzuru simply decided to stop there, Izumi Not saying no, just saying.

"Eat the cake before going back. Mom and Dad are probably going to bed, and I'm too full. It might not taste good until tomorrow. Anyway, let's eat it together."

She found an excuse and walked to the now empty small park with Hinata Yuzuru. The two stood at the entrance of the park, looking at the dim small park illuminated only by a dim street lamp. With mixed feelings, they stood side by side in tacit understanding, looked for a while, and then walked in.

This place that holds many memories of their childhood is now a little dilapidated.

The new large park has been built, and this remote, narrow little park with outdated facilities is out of place in today's Konoha, so it has gradually become deserted.

She looked at the two small swings in the distance, but finally, she and Hinata Yuzuru walked to the stone bench by the park. The two of them probably couldn't sit on the small swings back then.

She put down the clothes in her hands, as if she breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the small cake in her hand. With the level of a ninja, even though the packaging of the small cake was not very sturdy, it was not burnt everywhere.

"Half each," she said.

Hyuga Yuzuru sat on the stone bench, looking up at the bright moon. The moon tonight was bright and clear, the stars were twinkling, and there were not a few clouds visible. The gentle moonlight fell on him, mixed with the summer evening breeze, and was warm and moist. A little hot.

The rustling sound of leaves was somewhat similar to the sound of her unpacking the cake box. It was not until a small spoon brought the cake to his mouth that he withdrew his gaze from the moon and looked at the girl beside him.

"There's only one spoon, let's eat together."

She smiled nonchalantly: "You don't mind, do you?"

Hinata Yuzuru hummed and went forward to eat the cake: "It's delicious."

The soft and waxy cake has a rich chocolate flavor but is not cloying. The ratio of cream and cake is just right. You can taste the aroma of cream as well as the flavors of chocolate and cake. It mixes in your mouth and the fragrance lingers for a long time.

Even though he doesn't like desserts, he can't help but nod with satisfaction.

Quan took back the small spoon, scooped a mouthful himself and tasted it.

“This is what chocolate cake tastes like.”

She hasn't eaten it.

In other words, since she was twelve years old, her life seemed to have gradually moved in a different direction. There was no singing of birds and fragrance of flowers, only blood, loneliness, and coldness by her side day after day.

Hinata Yuzuru turned to look at her, but she just scooped up another spoonful and brought it to his mouth.

The two of them didn't say anything. You took one bite and I finished it in one bite. Hinata Yuzuru stretched out his hand and pointed at the corner of her mouth.

“It’s stained.”

She licked it off with her tongue without caring, and then looked at him: "You have it too."

then
Before he could reach out to wipe it off, she came closer and kissed him in an abrupt and unreasonable manner.

Should you avoid it?
Before I could get a response in my mind, her soft lips had already landed on my lips, and the taste of chocolate wafted away, sweeter than before.

After a while, she sat back with a normal expression, gently wiped her lips, stood up, looked at Hinata Yuzuru with complicated eyes, and laughed softly.

"Yuxian.
Why you.
So skilled."
